CHAPTER 1:

September 1, 1971

Exhausted with her few hours atlantic muggle flight, Selina finally arrived to a place that will lead her where she is ought to be. It is now high in the morning and she is standing by the red colored train. Taking a look at her surrounding before she enters the train, nothing is special about the place, just like a typical muggle train station except for the huge amount of owls that are being brought by the passengers, students like herself she thought.

Without much further ado she entered the train so that she can find a good compartment. She took the last compartment to the right thinking that the ones in front will be filled first. She is really tired and she wants to have a rest hoping to be spared from the noisy fellow passengers with their idle chit chats. She sat beside the window, putting her knapsack behind her head as a cushion and her cowboy hat on her face as she is going to sleep and hoping that if ever there will be students who wants to share the compartment with her they will not try to disturb her.

Few minutes after she settled in that comfortable position she heard the train's horn, it is starting to leave she thought. She heard the door opened and two passengers took the seat opposite her, a boy and a girl, she knew because they are speaking in low voice. After another few minutes the door opened again, two passengers again but this time, two boys, who sat beside her. She heard the second pair talking about her, they must be wondering where she came from for the clothes she is wearing. At that day Selina chose to wear clothes that she daily wears back in her home instead of formal clothes. She is wearing tattered jeans with a hole in her right knee, a checkered blue long sleeve over white t-shirt, brown suede boots, ponytailed hair and to complete the look a cowboy brown hat. She smiled in her thought they might find her weird or some kind of a psycho from a far strange distant place. Actually she doesn't care what these people think about her all she wants right now is to have a nice rest.

For how long did Selina sleep and what happened around her while she sleeps, she has no idea, but she still feels the train is moving. "Maybe I better prepare now and change to school robe" Selina thought. So she stretched her arms in front of her and took her hat off her face. She took a glance around her and just as she suspected, there are five of them in that compartment – 3 boys and 2 girls including her. The first pair is of a dark straight haired pale boy and red headed pretty girl. The second pair is of brunette curl haired handsome boy and a dark messy haired boy wearing round eyeglasses. She found them staring at her awestruck. She smiled and greeted them a "good evening" and she proceeded to the door.

When she finished dressing herself into school robe she went in front of the mirror. She removed the ponytail and let her hair down. She checked herself in the mirror. To say that she is a beautiful girl is an understatement. Selina has long elegant straight silky black hair up to her lower back that shines even more whenever it is reached by light. She has beautiful heart shaped charismatic face. She has bright beautiful green eyes with some silver color in it, a charming pointed nose, rosy white tanned skin – a proof of where she came from and not so thick pouted enchanting pink lips. Her height is not so tall but not so small also and she is slim but not thin. Contented with her looks she went back to the compartment. She again smiled to the two pairs and found them again still awestruck but this time more awestruck. "Maybe letting my hair down suits me well than tying it in a ponytail" Selina thought.

"Hi, I am Selina, nice to meet you" Selina offered her hand to the girl.

The girl shook her hand and smiled "I am Lily, nice to meet you too. This is Severus my friend".

Selina looked at the dark haired pale boy, offered her hand, smiled and said "Hello". The boy stared at her face, to her hand and back to her face. Reluctant at first the boy took her hand without saying a word. She is not sure if the boy felt what she had felt but the moment their hands touched Selina felt some kind of electricity run through her hands. She hid her shock, analyzing the boy in front of her, they stared at each other for a few moments till the second pair behind her introduced themselves.

"I am Sirius, I am pleased to meet a beautiful girl like you" said the handsome boy, taking Selina's hand off the dark haired pale boy's hand and shaking her hand vigorously with his enigmatic smile.

"As am I also" Selina said with a smile, "such a warm charming character he has", Selina thought to herself.

"And this is my buddy James". Sirius pointed to his friend the boy with messy dark hair and the one wearing round eyeglasses.

"Hello" James said and shook her hand.

"Hello" Selina replied.

"So, where you came from Selina? You must not be from here in England" asked Sirius.

"Yes, you are correct, I am from California, United States." replied Selina. Selina's family lives in Napa Valley and owns a large vineyard and winery there but Selina doesn't want to disclose this detail about her family to people she barely knew.

"I heard there is also a school there in States like Hogwarts" said James

"Yes, it is called Salem Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry located in Pennsylvania, but my parents decided to enroll me in Hogwarts, fortunately the Headmaster allowed me to study in Hogwarts" said Selina.

"Why they chose Hogwarts over Salem? asked James

"My parents wanted more traditional style of teaching like what Hogwarts does, Salem is a modern kind of school and Hogwarts traces its history way back fifteenth century." replied Selina.

"So you must be a pureblood then." said Sirius.

"Yes." that's what all Selina said. She doesn't want to elaborate the history background of her family. She is not only from a pureblood family but also from a noble ancient magical family. Her father is an American wizard and her mother is an Italian witch who trace their roots from sixteenth century.

Someone snorted about the recent conversation and Selina found out that it was the dark haired pale boy but Selina did not mind his manner. "What is his name again?" Selina asked herself, "sounded like severe" she thought, "aah never mind I will find it out soon" she said to herself.

"So you also know that Hogwarts sorts its students into four houses" said Sirius.

"Yes I was informed about that" said Selina.

"Is there a house you wanted to be sorted into?" asked James

"Me and James want to be in Gryffindor, where those who are brave belong, although my entire clan was naturally sorted in Slytherin before, I wanted to make a difference" Sirius said with pride.

The two boys made a high five with each other.

"Who wanted to be sorted in Gryffindor? Slytherin is far better than Gryffindor." Said the dark haired pale boy. "I better remember the name of this boy, something is strange and cold about him" Selina said to herself.

"And who wants to be sorted in Slytherine?" asked James staring at the dark hailed pale boy furiously.

"Maybe someone like him who is creepy, right Snivellus? Said Sirius who is smirking at the dark haired pale boy.

"Come on Sev, let's move into other compartment." said the red headed pretty girl. "Wait what is her name again, aah Lily" Selina thought. The two exited the compartment while James and Sirius were smiling to each other congratulating themselves.

Few minutes after, the train finally arrived in Hogsmead Station…
