Chapter One
"Callie darling!" came a sing song voice from outside her room. "Yes mother." Callie sighed as her mother walked in her room. "You did it Callie, Dumbledore accepted you to start your sixth year at Hogwarts as a transfer." Her mother squealed. "Great now can I finish packing to go to Uncle Alexander's now?" Callie asked annoyed at her mother peppiness.
Callie had been attending an American wizarding school the past five years. Her father was offered a new job in England at their Ministry of Magic and decided to take it. So until all their things were moved they'd be staying wither her Uncle Alexander and Aunt Julia.
As Callie finished up her packing her older brother, Tristan, came in. "So Isolde, you almost done?" he asked. "Yup, I just finished." Callie said standing up. "That's good; we are flooing to Uncle Alexander's house soon. We haven't seen them in ages." Tristan said sitting on her bed. "I know, you and Theo used to be inseparable." Callie laughed sitting beside him. "Yeah I know, every summer it used to Theo, Draco, and I. We used to torture you." Theo laughed putting an arm around Callie. "Yeah, I wanted to kill the three of you." Callie laughed remembering the times before they moved to America.
Callie had been ten when they moved to America, just in time for Tristan to start Salem Wizards Academy. She hadn't seen her cousin Theo or Draco since. She was wondering how life would be like back in England.
"Come on kids it's time to go to Uncle Alexander's house!" their father yelled from downstairs. Both Callie and Tristan got up and made their way to the fireplace downstairs. They would be leaving in time to make it to dinner at their Uncle's house.
"Nott Manor!" Her father yelled entering the fireplace. "Alright now you Tristan." Their mother said and Tristan did the same. "Now your turn Isolde." Her mother said handing her some floo powder. Callie stepped inside the fireplace and yelled the same as her father and brother. Soon she was swished through a long pathway until she landed on her feet just to fall foreword.
"Careful there klutz." Came an unfamiliar male voice. When Callie looked up to see who caught her she saw her cousin Theodore. "Theo!" she squealed throwing her arms around him. "You always were clumsy." He said setting her on her feet and moving her out from in front of the fireplace of which her mother soon appeared.
"Ah there is my favorite older brother." Came a booming voice. Callie turned around to see her Uncle Alexander walking in the room and giving her father a hug. "Nice to see you too Alexander." Her father laughed. "Ah Guinevere you haven't changed a bit." Her uncle said turning to her mother. "Thank you Alexander." Her mother smiled hugging him. "Oh Tristan my boy! You have turned into quite the young man." Her uncle said turning to her brother. "Isolde, is that you? Why you are a picture of perfect beauty." He said finally greeting Callie with a hug. "Hi Uncle Alexander." She smiled as he released her. "Well your rooms are ready, if you would like to get ready for dinner feel free, it's in two hours. Oh and Shane the Malfoy's are joining us tonight, just Cissa and Draco. Lucius is still in Azkaban." Her uncle said acknowledging her father.
Tristan, Callie, and Theo then made their way to their room to get ready for dinner, which was always dressy in any Nott home. As they made their way up to their rooms they talked about the memories from when they were little and once they reached the hallway their rooms were on they parted ways to get ready for dinner.
Once in her room Callie took a quick shower before getting dressed. She chose a black long sleeved v-neck dress with black pumps. She lightly did her make-up and dried her hair so is fell straight down her back. She double checked herself in the mirror before heading to the dining room.
"Ah there she is now." Her father said as she approached the doorway that was the entrance to the dining room. "Hi daddy." She smiled; she was the last to arrive. "Cissa you remember Isolde." Her father said to a tall blonde woman who was familiar to her. "Yes, she's all grown up now." She said smiling at her. "Ah now that we are all here we can go in and have a seat her Uncle Alexander said ushering everyone in the dining room.
"Hey Callie." Her brother called from behind her. "Yeah Trist." She said turning around to see him walking with Theo and an unknown tall blonde boy. "You remember Draco, don't you?" her brother asked gesturing to the tall blonde boy. Callie remembered who he was but just couldn't believe that was him. He had grown from a small ferret looking boy into a tall built muscular man. "No way, you aren't Draco." She laughed smiling at him. "Well you're not Isolde then." He smiled back stepping towards her. "Ah I've missed you!" she squealed throwing her arms around his neck and he picked her up spinning her around in a big hug. "I missed you too." He laughed sitting her back down. "Come on you two let's eat." Her brother laughed putting an arm around Callie and leading her into the dining room.
The adults had taken a seat on one end of the table leaving the kids the other. Callie ended up sitting in between her brother and Theo and across from Draco. As the food appeared everyone began conversation.
"So Isolde how did you like living in America?" Draco asked Callie as he began eating. "It was pretty awesome. Oh and it's Callie now." She laughed taking a bite of her steak. "Callie?" he said with a confused look on his face. "Oh it's a nickname I picked up when I started school over there. Apparently my name was too weird for America so they gave me an American nickname from my middle name, Calista." She smiled. "I see, and how did you like America Tristan." He said shifting the conversation to her brother.
As the night went on the conversations lasted late into the night until Lucius said it was time for them to leave. Everyone left the table to walk them to the fireplace. "Draco, quidditch tomorrow?" Theo asked as they reached the room that held the fireplace connected to the floo system. "Sure I'll be over sometime after ten." Draco said. "Well then we'll see you tomorrow then." Tristan said saying goodbye to Draco. "Bye Draco." Callie smiled. "Bye Callie, it was good seeing you again after all this time." He smiled hugging Callie making her blush a bit. After the Malfoy's disappeared everyone went back to their rooms to get good nights sleep.
