---

~At McCarthy Manor ~

I awoke from my slumber, to someone jumping on my bed.

"Sammy stop..."

The bouncing continued, "Sam, stop."

More bouncing:

"SAM GET THE BLOODY HELL OFF ME!"

The bouncing stopped and I heard a soft whimper, which I knew was definitely not my sister. I sat up quickly to see, Bella-my Cocker Spaniel puppy-laying on my bed, looking up at me with her big, sad brown eyes.

"Oh Bella, I'm sorry my baby. I thought you were Sammy."

I scooped the pup into my arms and hugged her tight, hoping she'd understand I was sorry. She seemed content with my response because she began to lick my hand affectionately. I chuckled at her actions then looked at my alarm clock, "Oh Bloody hell, I'm going to be late!" With Bella in my arms I jumped out of bed; not bothering to make it; and headed down to the kitchen.

When I got to the final step, I caught my sister who was wearing her green and silver robes, and holding my plain one in her outstretched hand. "Forget something sister dear?" She gave a wicked smile, with little to no threat behind it. My sister, she has to be the kindest Slytherin I know. She's only mean to the other Slytherin's who deserve it and a real sweetheart, a true...Gryffindor I suppose.

"Thanks Sammy, Where's Mum and dad?" I asked, putting the robes on over my nightwear, after handing Bella over to her.

I took her back once I finished. "They were going to see you off on your first day, but they were afraid they'd be late for work if they waited for you to wake up, even if they apparated."

She waved her wand, and my blue nightgown turned into the standard uniform; except I had leggings on instead of the skirt; under my robes. She waved her wand again and the hunter green trunk in the corner shrunk and flew into her pocket. Then she did the same to my trunk, a dark blue, and it flew into my pocket. She walked to the door, "Before I forget, Mum and Dad left presents; one from each of them. Mum also left you out some toast in the kitchen. Better hurry the Taxi will arrive in 20 minutes." She opened the door and a little white snake slithered up her leg, "Ah, there you are Ash." Sam petted the snake on its head when he reached her shoulder.

I walked over to the kitchen, and spotted two presents in different colored wrapping paper; one red, the other white; next to a small plate with two pieces of what I assumed was cinnamon toast on the kitchen table. I placed Bella down and picked up a piece of toast, letting her have the other one. I took a bite, relishing in the taste of the slightly sugary-bitter confection.

After I finished that piece I wiped my hand and mouth on a napkin and picked up the red present. It was a rectangular box with plain red wrapping, nothing else on it except a tag that read:

'Be good, and stay out of trouble, my little Misfit. You're going to need this, Love Dad.'

I smiled at what he wrote and opened the gift. Inside it was my wand that I picked at Olivander's wand shop. They had it ordered in since I didn't have a use for it at the time. It was a 10" Oak with a center of Phoenix ashes, it was thin and cool in my grasp. Mr. Olivander told me that if another witch or wizard tried to hold it that the wand did not choose to wield it, the phoenix ashes inside it would burn them.

I put it in my robe pocket and opened my other present. I knew it was from my mom just by looking at it. It was a square box, no bigger than my palm. If you looked at the pure white wrapping closely, you'd see little designs of snakes and lions. My mother was a Slytherin back when she went to Hogwarts, and dad was a Gryffindor; go figure, huh? I opened it and was amazed by what I saw.

In a safe cushion of snowy white down feathers from a snow owl, was the most beautiful charm bracelet I had ever seen. There were four charms hanging from it, each one; I realized; represented a house. There was a lion for Gryffindor, a snake for Slytherin, eagle for Ravenclaw, and a badger for Hufflepuff.

I slid the bracelet on my wrist, and examined it. It was a little loose and the light seemed to make it look like it had been carved from diamonds. "Bambi, the Taxi's here, let's go!" I heard Sam yell from outside. I grabbed Bella and tucked her under my arm as I reached the door and closed it shut.

~At the train station~

"Nervous Bambi?" I looked up at my sister as we walked; Bella prancing behind, and smiled "A little, but at least your there to help me. And my Head of House professor, whoever that is." Sam chuckled at that.

"Yeah, if you're sorted into Gryffindor, You'll have Professor McGonagall. My house has Professor Snape, he's a complete stick in the mud but not totally bad."

"What about the other houses?" I asked a little confused.

"Bambi think, if mum was a Slytherin and Dad was a Gryffindor. You think the school would make their kids Hufflepuffs? Since I'm already a Slytherin, you'll most likely be a Griffyndor. Now let's hurry before we miss our train!" She started walking through the crowd of people. "Sammy, wait!" I ran through the crowd, with Bella hot on my heels, until I tripped and fell.

"Oh dearie, are you okay?!"

I looked up to see an average sized, red haired woman helping me up, "I'm so sorry about that. Ronald apologize for tripping this poor girl with your cart!" I turned in the direction the woman was yelling at and saw a boy about my age with red hair as well.

"Sorry..." He paused, probably seeing if I'd give him a name. Before I could though I heard my sister yell, "Bambi, there you are!"

I was pulled into a bone-crushing hug. "Don't scare me like that again! I thought I'd lost you." She looked to the woman in gratitude, "Thank you for finding her, Molly. I'm glad that it was you out of all people that spotted her."

"Oh why hello Sammy! It's good to see you again! I had no idea this was your sister" She held out a hand for me to shake and I took it. "I'm Molly Weasley, Sweetheart. This is my son Ronald." She gestured to the boy, "And this is my youngest, Ginevra. I have two other sons with me, but they're not here now." She placed a hand on the shoulder of a little girl-I hadn't noticed her before- who had the same red hair as the rest of them. "So Ron's starting Hogwarts as well, that's perfect. So is Bambi, they'll be good friends." I looked at Ron who sized me up before smiling at me.

"Sammy, how's it been!" chorused two voices behind me.

I turned to see my sister hug identical twins with, yet again, red hair and place a kiss on the cheek of the boy on her right. "It's good to see you George. You too Fred, of Course." I assumed the one she kissed was her mate Fred. I remembered Dad talking to her about it and mentioning that name. "So, are you all ready?" Mrs. Weasley asked us. My sister and the other two nodded their heads, while I looked at her quizzically.

"Alright then, George, you're up." She gestured to the boy on Sam's left, "I'm Fred Mum."
The boy on the right, sighed "And you dare to call yourself our mother..."

"That doesn't work anymore, boys. Thanks to Sammy, I can tell you two apart." She smirked at her sons. "Aw, thanks a lot Sammy." George joked, my sister playfully punched him with her free arm, as Fred was holding her other hand. George lined up with his cart in front of the pillar with 9 and 10 hanging from the sides, then sprinted to the brick wall and went straight through! I stood there with my mouth wide open in shock. "Alright, Fred your turn." He turned to Sam, "Your chariot awaits."

"Yeah!" He setup like George did before, but this time my sister sat on the front end of the cart, her legs tucked in. He sprinted towards the wall, while my sister squealed. "Wahoo!" Then they were gone through the wall, "Alright Ron, Bambi your turn-" "Excuse me!" I turned when I heard an unfamiliar voice.

I saw a boy who was so thin it was amazing how his clothes didn't fall off him. He had unruly black hair and the most amazing green eyes I've ever seen, hidden behind broken glasses. "Ma'am can you tell me how to get to Platform 9 and three quarters?"

"Don't you know? Oh, it's your first year?! That's wonderful! It's Ron and Bambi's first too." She placed her arm around the frail boy and told him to just run through the wall between 9 and 10. "Alright Ron, you go." Ron looked a little scared at first but did just like his brother's did. I turned to the boy and couldn't help but giggle when he shared the same expression I had earlier. "Bambi, did you bring your luggage?" Mrs. Weasley asked me. "Yes Mrs. Weasley!" I tapped on my pocket, feeling the slight bump it made. "Alright then, how about you go with him then." She gestured to the boy. "Okay..." I walked over to where he had set up and tapped him on the shoulder; he had been concentrating on the wall in front of him. "Mind if I ride on your cart?"
"Ah, no, go ahead." I smiled, picked up Bella and sat in the front next to a snow white owl.

"Ready?" he asked. I nodded, "Whenever you are." I heard him take a deep breath and then the cart started to move. "EEP!" Just as we got closer to the wall I shut my eyes and gripped Bella tight.

~Platform 9 and three quarters~

"Wow!" I heard the boy say.

I opened my eyes and saw a huge train. It said 'Hogwarts Express' "Hey, come on, let's go!" I squealed in delight. Bella jumped from my arms, as I jumped from the cart.

"My names Bambi by the way. Bambi McCarthy." He smiled, "Nice to meet you Bambi, I'm Harry Potter." I was shocked to know that this frail boy was the wizarding world hero. "It's very nice to meet you as well, Harry." I helped him push his cart near the baggage claim, and we headed inside the passenger cars to find a seat.

~In the passenger Cars~

Harry and I talked most of the way to Hogwarts, we stopped talking to acknowledge Ron when he was standing outside our compartment. "Mind if I sit with you guys, everywhere else is full?"

I shake my head smiling while Harry gestured for him to sit; Ron smiled. He came in and shut the door behind him, then sat down.
"Name's Ron Weasley by the way," He stuck his hand out to Harry, who smiled and shook his hand, "Nice to meet you Ron, I'm Harry Potter, and I believe you've met Bambi."

The Weasley sat there looking like a fish out of water. "Y-your Harry Potter?! Golly, d-do you have the..." He gestured to his forehead, Harry confused asked. " The what?"

"He's asking about your scar." I turned to him and said. "Oh, yeah." Harry chuckled lifting his hair to show off the lighting mark scar. Ron gaped at it, "Blimy!" Bella, who had been sitting quietly in my lap, jumped into Harry's lap and began licking his face. "Hey!"

"Bella! No!" I pulled her off him, "I'm sorry Harry she's normally more controlled than this." He just laughed and asked, "Its okay. Who's this cute little girl anyway?" I beamed with pride, "This is Bella McCarthy. She's my little baby; she loves getting into trouble though." I gave her a stern look that she melted away with her innocent look. "You're so cute!" I hugged her and she yipped happily.

"Wait, did you say McCarthy?!" I looked up at Ron who was staring at me this time. "Yes? Is that a problem?" "N-no! I-it's just that your family is a well-known name around here. You have a reputation as high as the Malfoy's."

"Yes, but we're far richer than those bottom feeders." I said trying to sound like the snobbish type, but failed and got the others laughing with me. Then in a millisecond Bella turned towards Ron and growled, "Bella, no. Bad girl! You don't growl at friends!" I scolded her. She kept growling though until a brown rat made its way out of Ron's Pocket. "EWW! It's a rat!" I screamed scooting up in my seat, away from the hideous creature. "What? Oh, this is Scabers! He's a family pet." "PET?!" I looked at him incredulously. How can you have something as hideous as that for a pet?! "Just put it in a cage or something, please. No wonder you were growling baby." I hugged Bella close as she growled at the rat.

"Why?!"

"You should do it Ron." I heard Harry say

"Okay, okay...Happy?" I looked to see that he had done as I asked and put...Scabers, in a cage. "Whew, Thanks. I'm sorry, I'm not a big fan of rats." I sat normally in my seat, just as an old lady came by pushing a candy trolley. "Would any of you like anything from the trolley?" I looked at the candy and remembered that my sister had my money and I wouldn't be able to get it until we got off the train, "I'd love to, but I don't have any money on me."

"Naw, I'm good." I looked over and saw Ron hold up a brown looking thing. Harry look at me and Ron sadly then smiled, digging into his pocket, "We'll take the lot." he pulled out a hand full of sickles and galleons. "Wow!" Ron exclaimed. I sat there wide-eyed. My parents didn't even give me half of that for an allowance!

~ ~ ~ ~
We sat there eating the candy Harry bought; I had promised to pay him back with my own money but he just shrugged it off, saying it was no big deal. Ron had pulled out his wand to show us a spell he learned, when a girl about my age walked in and asked, "Have any of you seen a toad; a boy named Neville is looking for one." She had frizzy hair and came off as a bit snobbish. "No, we haven't." I answered while the boys shook their heads. She groaned in disappointment and saw Ron holding out his wand. "Oh, were you about to cast a spell?" She sat down next to me; Harry had moved to sit next to Ron earlier; and began telling us about how she studied different spells and how her parents were both muggle dentists.

"Here I'll show you a spell." She pulled out her own wand and pointed it at Harry's glasses, "Arculos Repairo!" There was a spark and the tape that had held it together, unraveled and vanished into thin air. "Amazing!" Ron said through a mouth full of chocolate. Harry pulled his glasses off his face and looked at them, amazed. "My name's Hermione, by the way. Hermione Granger."
"Ron Weasley."
I smiled and held out my hand to her which she took happily, "I'm Bambi McCarthy and this little fluff ball is Bella."

I held up Bella. Hermione stuck her hand out to pet her, which Bella let her. Harry put his glasses back on, "I'm Harry Potter." She looked at him shocked, "You're the Harry Potter? Amazing!" She got up and walked toward the door, then she stopped and looked back at Harry and Ron, "You might want to get your robes on, we'll be arriving shortly." She turned and smiled at me, "It was very nice to meet you Bambi!" She then left. As soon as she did, the boys threw on their robes, while I cleaned up the wrappers from their chocolate frogs and lollipops. We sat and talked for a little bit longer, until the train stopped. Signaling that we had arrived at Hogwarts.

~The Entrance to the Great Hall~

I stood with the other first years, petting Bella's head, as we waited to go into the great hall to be sorted into our houses. As I stood there listening to Harry and Ron talk, a boy with slick blonde hair came into my sight.

"You must be Harry Potter," He held out his hand to Harry, "I'm Draco Malfoy. Need a friend?"

"About as much as a hexing spell." Ron mumbled, but Draco heard it. He turned and glared at the ginger boy, "No one asked you! Wait, don't tell me: red hair and hand-me-down robes; you must be a Weasley." Draco sneered, which got his other friends to laugh. I glared at them and they stopped.

Harry looked back at Draco, "Thanks but I think I can choose my own friends." Draco's smile turned into a frown quicker than you could say, 'avada kadavra'.

I snorted at the reaction. He turned and looked at me and seemed surprised, "Well, if it isn't the youngest of the McCarthy's." His smile was plastered back on his face. "You're a pureblood as well. You shouldn't be hanging out with blood traitor losers like them, join me. I know our parents will be thrilled." I looked up at him with a flirty smile,

"Non etiam si obtinuit tua offa, damnant Migale."

The other students didn't know what I had said but by the look on Draco's face it wasn't nice. He glared at me while a slight blush dashed his cheeks.

"You...you,Damnatorum Pythonissam ex inferno!"

"Mr. Malfoy!"

He turned to see Professor McGonagall,

"You are not to use that kind of language ever! In English or otherwise!"

"Yes, Professor." he mumbled then glared at me and walked back to his little group.

"Nice one. What did you say to him anyway?" Ron whispered in my ear.

I smiled. "Thanks. And it was nothing special. I just said and I quote: 'Not even if you had gotten your rabies shot, damned Ferret.' in Latin."

Ron and Harry quietly laughed.

"Let's go, they're waiting for you." McGonagall said and turned, opening the doors to let us in. We walked past all the other students who were applauding. I spotted my sister sitting with what I figured was her house.

We stood in front of Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts. He gave a little speech and McGonagall explained that the sorting hat would place us in the house it saw fit. When we were told what house we were, we would sit with our house.

She called up students randomly, and I was zoning out until she named a familiar student:

"Hermione Granger!"

I looked and saw Hermione walk up to the stool and sit down, the hat was then placed on her head and it began talking to her, after about a minute it shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!"

Everyone clapped and Hermione took her place at the Griffyndor table next to the Weasley twins. A few more names were called.

"Ronald Weasley!"

I turned to my left and saw Ron had paled a bit. He walked up and sat down on the stool as well, the hat was placed on his head, and few seconds later, "GRYFFINDOR!"

Again everyone cheered and Ron; who had let out a sigh of relief; sat across from Hermione who gave him a high-five. Me and Harry locked eyes. I could tell he wanted us all to be in the same house together.

"Draco Malfoy!"

We turned to see Draco sitting on the stool. The hat was on his head for less than a second before it cried out: "SLYTHERIN!" He smirked and walked over and sat down next to my sister.

"Bambi McCarthy!"

I looked at Professor McGonagall, then at Harry who smiled, "Go on, and good luck." I nodded smiling at him, then walked up to the stool and sat down. McGonagall placed the sorting hat on my head and out loud it began reciting a type of poem. From the looks on the teachers and 7th year students' faces, it was either one that was rarely said or never at all.

It went like this…

Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest
and taught them all she knew.
Thus, the houses and their founders
Maintained friendships firm and true.

So Hogwarts worked in harmony
for several happy years.
But then discord crept among us
feeding on our faults and fears.

The Houses that, like pillars four
had once held up our school
now turned upon each other and
divided, sought to rule.

And for a while it seemed the school
must meet an early end.
What with dueling and with fighting
and the clash of friend on friend.
And at last there came a morning
when old Slytherin departed
and though the fighting then died out
he left us quite downhearted.

And never since the founders four
were whittled down to three
have the Houses been united
as they once were meant to be.
And now the Sorting Hat is here
and you all know the score.
I sort you into Houses
because that is what I'm for.

But this year I'll go further,
listen closely to my song:
though condemned I am to split you
still I worry that it's wrong,
Though I must fulfill my duty
and must quarter every year
still I wonder whether sorting
may not bring the end I fear.

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
the warning history shows,
for our Hogwarts is in danger
from external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her
or we'll crumble from within
I have told you, I have warned you...
let the Sorting now begin.

"Now let's see, you're courageous like your father, a true Griffyndor. Yet you have that snarky side to you like your mother, a sly Slytherin indeed,"

The hat talked to me and all the while I thought about my new friends and how I wanted to be anywhere but with Malfoy in Slytherin.

"But oh! What have we here? You also share attributes most seen in Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws! Quite a perfect match for each house, this is my most difficult sorting yet! Now let's see, where would you shine brightest...hmmm...I know." He yelled loud and clear but I still couldn't believe it.

"RAVENCLAW!"

Everyone cheered and while I headed to the Ravenclaw table I wondered if my parents would be proud.

"Harry Potter!"

I snapped out of my musings and looked up. I forgot Harry still had to be sorted. I crossed my fingers in hopes that he wouldn't be put in Slytherin either. Sure my sister was a Slytherin, but not everyone else was like her; and my sister wouldn't be able to protect him from those big bullies all the time.

Please anything but Slytherin!

"GRIFFYNDOR!"

I almost cried out in joy but managed to contain it and just clap. At least he was with friends. I turned to see him walk over to the others, with a big smile plastered on his face. He looked up towards me and gave a sad smile, I smiled and mouthed to him, 'Good job, Griffyndor.' He smiled and sat down. Dumbledore gave another short speech and the feast began.

As I nibbled on a roll, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to find a girl with long blonde hair and a sweet smile.

"Hello, Welcome to Ravenclaw! I'm Luna Lovegood."

"Bambi McCarthy."

"I absolutely adore your name, it's super cute."

"Thank you." I smiled and the both of us talked until it was time to head to the dorm rooms.

Instead of following the other first year Ravenclaws and prefects. I went with Luna and we continued talking until we got to the Ravenclaw common room. "I've had so much fun, Luna." She smiled at me, "I did too, Bambi. Well, see you tomorrow!"

She skipped up the stairs while I stayed in the common room for a bit longer. After a while I heard the Portrait door open and saw the Ravenclaw Prefect, Penelope Clearwater, come in with the first years.

"McCarthy, there you are! Your sister was looking for you. She's waiting for you outside, see what she wants then head up to your room, your sharing with Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang and me." I nodded and exited out of the crowded common room.

My sister was standing there, arms crossed. She looked around her seeing if anybody was around then smiled and pulled me into a bear hug

"Wahoo! My baby sister's a Ravenclaw. Mom and Dad are gunna be excited about that!"

"Really?! But you said earlier-"

She let me go, and gave me a big grin, "Bambs, they'd be happy even if you were a Hufflepuff! I know I'm proud of ya!"

I blushed a bit, but beamed at my sister's comment.

"Hey kid, I gotta go. It's almost time for curfew and I still need to see Fred."

She handed me my money pouch, saying it was for emergency's only, kissed me on the forehead and hugged me one last time before running off.

I walked back in to the common room and saw Penelope sitting on the couch. She looked up and smiled.

"Good you're done, now I can show you were our room is."

She got up and went to the stairwell on the right, "Girls are on the right, boys on the left it's the same with every house, remember that."

I nodded as we continued up the stairs we were almost to the top of the tower when she stopped in front of a door.

"This is our room, that door over there leads to a balcony that overlooks the lake. It's quite the view." She pointed at the other door. She knocked on the door in front of us then entered.

I followed her in finding an Asian girl lying on the bed closest to the door, reading a magazine. Next to her the bed wasn't currently occupied but there was a picture of a dorky looking, ginger boy I didn't know so I assumed that was Penelope's bed.

Across from that one, Luna was propped against her pillows reading the Quibbler, and the bed next to her was an empty bed; except for the fact that Bella was sleeping in the middle of it. There were pictures on the bedside table that I recognized.

"So this one's mine, I presume?" I walked over to the pictures, picking up the picture of me, Bella, Sam, and her snake Ash.

"Yep your sister brought them over for you. That was pretty nice of her, for a Slytherin anyway."

She walked over to her own bed, as I placed the picture down. The Asian girl closed her magazine, looked up at me and smiled, "Hello, you must be Bambi McCarthy. I'm Cho Chang. It's very nice to meet you."

I smiled back, "It's nice to meet you as well Cho Chang."

"Please, call me Cho."

"Okay."

Luna looked up from her Quibbler and smiled in my direction, "Hello again Bambi." I walked over and sat on my bed, careful of Bella. "Hey."

"Alright girls, it's lights out time. McCarthy, here's your schedule for tomorrow. You have most of the same classes as Luna so she'll be able to show you were you need to go, but the ones you don't just ask a prefect or Professor and they'll point you in the right direction."

Penelope handed me a piece of Parchment, I nodded and she smiled,

"Night kiddo."

She ruffled my hair and went back to her bed, Cho turned off the lights and I fell asleep instantly.
