Hi people! This is a TDI-based story. It's the kids' third grade at Hogwarts. I've already written the two first stories, but they're in SPANISH, so I don't feel like translating 200 pgs per story and I'm starting this third story. However, I will write the next summary:
Beth: She's a muggle-born witch who lives with her parents and younger sister in Manchester. Gryffindor
Bridgette: She's a pure-blood, her mother is a half-blood witch and her father comes from a long Hufflepuff ancestry. Hufflepuff
Cody: He's a pure-blood. Both of his parents are Aurors for the Ministry of Magic. Ravenclaw
Courtney: She's half-blood. Her father is Saint Mungus' director, while her mother is a muggle. Ravenclaw
DJ: He's a half-blood. His mother works at Saint Mungus and his father is a muggle teacher. Hufflepuff
Duncan: He's a muggle-born. His father is a dentist and his mother is a psychologist. Slytherin
Eva: She's a pure-blood. Her parents come from a long Slytherin ancestry. Slytherin
Ezekiel: He's muggle-born. His parents were farmers. Gryffindor
Geoff: He's a pure-blood. His father was a Death Eater. Slytherin
Gwen: She's a half-blood. Her mother is the Minister of Magic and her father is a muggle doctor. Ravenclaw
Harold: He's a muggle-born. His parents are both teachers at the Oxford university, where he lives. Gryffindor
Heather: She's a pure-blood, ruthless to never-end. Slytherin
Izzy: She's a half-blood. Her dad was a Herbological Analyzer at the Ministry and her mother was a muggle economist. Gryffindor
Justin: He's a half-blood. His dad has a shop in Hogsmeade, while his mom is a retired muggle model. Hufflepuff
Lindsay: She's a pure-blood. She is a little bit dumb, but she has a big heart. Hufflepuff
Noah: He's a pure-blood. His father is an Auror and his mother is the head of the Magical Regulation department. Ravenclaw
Owen: He's a muggle-born. Everyone is surprised, because although having nothing to do with the magical world, the only thing comparable to his broad knowledge about spells and rules is his appetite. Ravenclaw
Katie and Sadie: They're both pure-bloods and are BFFs. Gryffindor
Trent: He is muggle born, and his parents are both lawyers. Ravenclaw
Tyler: He's a half-blood. He's not very smart or athletic but he has a good heart. Gryffindor
Plus also, 5 newcomers:
Hugh and Claire: They're half-blood twins. Their father is the head of the Foreign Magic department and their mother is a muggle archaeology, which have both made them travel quite a lot during their lifetime. This fact made the twins develop a tight bond, since they only had each other, something not even the biggest force could probably tell apart. Hufflepuff
Lucy: She's a half-blood, her father is a reknown author for magical books, and her mother is a bookseller in Barnes and Noble's, and due to this fact Kate has always been surrounded by books, which has converted her in a very cult girl. Ravenclaw
Noelle: She's a pure-blood, a little bit dumb and she's Heather's new little servant. Slytherin
Jason: He's a half-blood. Jason is strange, he's not a bad person but he's selfish and uncomprehensible. Slytherin
There are also relevant groups of friends:
Duncan, Heather, Noelle and Geoff.
Noah, Cody, Courtney, Gwen (let's say these are the main characters of the story)
Let's do this Chris-style: Last time on Total Drama Hogwarts...after discovering a huge mystery involving the whole school, our four main characters went on their summer holidays. But hormons also played bad tricks on our heroes: Cody is peeved about Gwen starting to fall for Trent, but this one is starting to look at Bridgette with different eyes. And while all this is taking place, Noah is starting to feel something for Courtney! What will happen on their third grade? Find out on Total...Drama...Hogwarts.
Noah's POV
There I was, again. It felt like always, but I knew everything was different. I expected my three friends waiting for me. Cody would be talking about his wonderful summer in America, especially to Gwen, while she would just shrug her shoulders and say summer had been okay in London. And, of course, Courtney would be there too. Don't get me wrong, I was just willing to see her, I'd waited for the whole summer just for that moment. But something made me feel uncomfortable with it. I knew she wouldn't like me back. We'd been friends for two years, and we had been cool with it. Why did I need to have a crush on her? Shoot, love is so weird!
But after saying goodbye to mother and Alex (A/N: I also made up siblings for each character, Alex is Noah's brother who in this story is around nine years old), I hopped on the train and found, as usually, Cody's gap-toothed grin.
"Hi, Noah!" he cried.
Seriously, Cody was my best friend, but sometimes he could drive me mad with his optimism.
"Hey," I said.
"I've been saving a compartment for us four, come and sit!"
"Uh...okay."
I followed my friend through the train until we reached a cozy compartment, where I left my bag and sat down.
"So," Cody said "How has summer been?"
"Fine, I guess," I said shrugging my shoulders.
Cody elbowed me, smiling, "Have you been thinking about you-know-who?"
"Have you?" I snapped.
"Hey, man, don't get mad," Cody said "I was just asking."
"Well...actually I have."
"I knew it! The Codemister is always right!"
"The Codemister should really think about looking for a new nickname, 'cause this one sucks."
Cody looked through the compartment window.
"God, she's there!" he exclaimed.
"Who's there?" I asked, chuckling "Lord Voldemort?"
"No, worse- Gwen! Do I look good?"
Noah looked at his friend.
"What do you mean by good?" I asked, laughing.
"Ah, just shut up," he said.
He peered through the window once more, watching Gwen approach our compartment with heavy footsteps.
"Hi, Gwen, how has summer been?" Cody stammered when she opened the door.
"Okay..." she sighed "Hi."
"Hi," I answered.
Wacky hormons, I thought.
Cody's POV
Gwen sat in front of me, by the window. She started looking at the people in the platform absently. She looked like a ghost, with her absent stare and that pale skin that would normally freak someone out. But to me, she looked really pretty, although I could sense she was upset.
"What's wrong?" I asked after a while.
"It's just..." she started, but quickly stopped "Nothing."
"Tell me."
"You wouldn't understand it..."
"Seriously?" I raised an eyebrow, "I've got two sisters. Don't you think I will understand it?"
"Well...I just saw Bridgette in one compartment. And she was with Trent. Alone."
That shattered my heart into tiny pieces. She was heartbroken by Trent. How dare he! Didn't he know Gwen is the greatest girl he could possibly have?
I felt she had a lump in her throat. I gave her some apprehensive pats in her back.
"There, there," he whispered calmly "It's okay."
"They were laughing," Gwen muttered anguishly "and seemed like they were having real fun."
"What if they're just friends?" he asked "Gwen, you're so much better than Bridgette. You're smart, outstanding, creative..."
She smiled.
"Thanks, Cody. Really. You're a great friend."
That kinda hurted me too. I mean, why should we just be friends? Why not...something else? Well, I didn't want to become a stalker, so I just sat down and let a slight sigh.
"Where's Courtney?" Gwen asked, turning to Noah.
"Dunno," he answered, shrugging his shoulders. He was, of course, reading.
"Well, that's pretty strange," she said, giggling.
Noah looked at her.
"Why should it be strange?" he asked.
"Well, since she's your best friend and all."
Yeah, right. Noah and I were stuck in the same hole.
Courtney's POV
I couldn't believe what I was doing. Why didn't I want to meet my friends?
Oh, well, I didn't want to meet Noah. But why? I frankly didn't know. I just felt something had changed, that things weren't the same. Whenever I saw any of our photos together or thought about him, I felt this bunch of butterflies fluttering in my stomach.
Or, in other words, I was crushing on him.
But I knew he would not return his feelings. We were friends, after all. But I just wanted to tell Gwen everything about it, I thought that would make me feel better. And so, I finally jumped into the train and looked for my friends in any compartment, preparing myself for the fluttering butterflies again. Finally, I saw Cody's gap-toothed smile and Gwen's small grin. I bet she was feeling sad and he was just telling lame jokes so she would feel better. And there he was, Noah was also listening to the jokes.
I entered the compartment.
"Hi," I said while I sat by Gwen.
"Hi!" she said, embracing me "I've missed you this summer."
"So have I."
"Hey!" Cody said with his gap-toothed smile.
"Hi..." Noah muttered.
He just sat there silently. What was wrong with him? He used to be a lot more talkative. Without any of us noticing, the train had already started moving down the English countryside on its way to Hogwarts.
"Have you read this muggle author, Shakespeare?" I asked finally.
"Yeah," he answered "It's pretty good."
But then he closed his mouth again.
Noah's POV
I didn't know how to act. I didn't know what to say. It felt like I couldn't simply open my mouth in front of her. What was happening to me?
Stupid love.
Okay, that was the first chapter! Chapter 2 coming soon!
