Time Goes By

Chapter 1

The 3

The plane landed. Ashley watched out of her window. She all ready missed America, her friends, and her family. How could she agree to come to Hogwarts? How could she of agreed to that letter, but she did and no use looking back now. Anyway Dumbledore needed her and she wouldn't let him down. She read the letter she was to go to platform 9 3/4. First she had to get too the train station. God she thought as she looked around this is so different from Chicago. She felt so out of place she was wearing bellbottoms and a spaghetti shirt that said Old Navy. She had a backpack on one shoulder and holding a carry on bag. She was listening to her Walkman.

She decided to walk up to a man. He looked middle aged with a bald spot on his head. His brown eyes had knowing behind them, and his smile was welcoming. He smiled at her and she smiled back, "Excuse me sir, but would you know where the train station is?"

He nodded and answered, "Of course just take bus 4 it should be the first stop."

"Thank you sir," she waved goodbye. She started to follow the signs that read bus depot. She got on bus 4, which just her luck got there when she did. The bus wasn't that full just a couple of people. She got off at the first stop, which was the train station.

Great she thought as she walked in-between platform 9 and 10 no 9 ¾. I am going to be so late and for my first day. She started to pace until she watched a family walk up to her. They had the reddest hair she had ever seen. The lady that most of been the mother smiled at her, "What's wrong you seemed worried?"

"I need to find platform 9 ¾ and there is no platform 9 ¾ and I am late," Ashley said not even looking up from her pacing.

"Oh your going to Hogwarts, you knew?" asked the guy that was standing there, he looked about her age and very nice.

"Yeah I am a 7^th year transferred from Century School back in America . . . oh yeah my names Ashley," Ashley said looking up. She was very relieved that at least someone knew where she was going.

"Hi," said the girl standing there, "I'm Ginny I'm a 6^th year, and that's Ron he's in your year."

The lady smiled at them, "Well you all better be off . . . Ashley do I know your parents from somewhere?"

"Um . . . I wouldn't know ma'am I was adopted."

"Oh I am sorry . . . I didn't mean."

"It's ok I am used to it."

The lady smiled at her again she had a very warm smile, "Ok you all will be late in you all go."

Ashley watched Ginny jump into the space between platforms 9 and 10, and get like sucked in and she now understood, "Oh Ok I get it now."

Ron smiled at her, "Ok good so you want to go first?"

"Sure why not," she said jumping in to the space closing her eyes just in case she was going to hit the side of the wall.

When she opened her eyes she was safe on the other side and a train was waiting there. There were a lot of people greeting others and just getting on the train. Ron came from the other side. He stumbled a little but stood up, "So why . . ."

He didn't get to finish his sentence cause 2 kids walked up to them. They looked about there age. One was a guy tall and skinny with messed up black hair and the same sparkling green eyes as her; to girl was tall also with bushy brown hair and brown eyes she smiled a nice smile at Ashley and Ashley smiled back. Then Ashley noticed the guys scar, "Oh my god your like the Harry Potter!"

Harry looked at her, "Yeah I am Harry Potter."

"She transferred here from America she's in are year," Ron said. He smiled at Hermione, "How was your summer Hermione?"

Hermione ignored Ron and turned to Ashley, "What house are you in?"

Ashley pulled the letter out of her pocket and read it, "House . . . well it says here Gryffindor."

Harry smiled, "That's are house!"

"Really that's cool," Ashley said looking around.

Hermione and Harry looked at her funny but they didn't ask.

Ashley looked at he train, "Shouldn't we be boarding the train now?" The train was starting up.

They all ran to the train, and got in just in time. "Follow us," Harry said started walking. They all followed him. They got to a compartment were two people were all ready sitting two boys.

"Hi Seamus, Hi Neville," Ron said sitting down.

The two guys looked at her "Which one of you got a girl friend?" Seamus laughed. The two boys blushed "Good pick though," Seamus said.

Ashley blushed. She had dark brown hair almost black. Her eyes were bright green. She had a weird mark in her left eye a blackish purplish color cloud. She had a perfect smile. She had two deep dimples. She was very slim, but had some good muscles. She had freckles over her nose and on her cheeks.

"Neither of them," Ashley said sitting down in-between the two boys, "And you guys are?"

Seamus smiled, "I am Seamus and this is my good buddy Neville."

Ashley smiled back, "And I am Ashley Ashford here to make your lives so much brighter."

The guys laughed and she looked up at Ron, Harry and Hermione who had sat down on the other side of the compartment.

Ashley turned up her stereo and started singing Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down softly when a girl who was a little bit shorter then her with light brown hair and light brown eyes Ashley smiled at her and they did some sort of hand shake, "Hey girl what's up!"

The new girl chuckled and sat down across from her next to Ron, "Nothing really been looking for you I can't believe they separated us I mean not even the same plane what a bummer."

"Um . . . excuse me but who are you?" Hermione asked.

"Oh Becka Ash's friend," Becka answered grabbing Ashley's ear phones and put them up, "Dude turn it up!"

"No way to new girls in one day!" Seamus laughed, "Wait you both are in Gryffindor right?"

"Of course," they both said in unison.

"So why did you guys get transferred here?" Hermione asked.

They both chuckled. Ashley laughed, "Well we are practical jokers."

They both started to crack up and they did there little hand shake again. "Do we want to know what you did?" asked Harry.

They started to laugh even more Ashley shook her head. "Now give me back my head phones," Ashley said grabbing them and putting them on.

After awhile 3 guys walked in. Ashley looked up to see two giant guys with a smaller guy in the middle Ashley chuckled it reminded her of those old mob videos her adoptive dad used to watch.

The guy in the middle scowled at her, "What's with you?"

Ashley looked at the guy holding in her laughter, man did he look familiar she thought, "Hey do I know you?"

"Um no I don't think so . . ." he paused for a moment. Ashley could tell he felt it to, "So whop are you and why would you two girl be hanging out with Potter, Weasel, and Mud blood?"

"Malfoy did anyone ask you!" Hermione shouted at him.

Ashley and Becka chuckled. "Now this reminds me of home," Becka said watching everyone throw insults at each other.

"Oh yeah you think I should stop it?" Ashley said after Draco started insulting them too.

"Yeah probably the best thing even though it was just getting good," Becka said leaning back in her chair.

Ashley pointed her finger at Draco and he went flying. Everyone stopped yelling and looked at her Becka was sitting there laughing, "A perfect 10 great accuracy."

Draco stood up, "Ashford! How did you do that? No wand or anything!"

Ashley stopped laughing, "Oh cool it Draco nothing big just a little spell I learned."

"Without a wand?" Draco asked.

"Uh yeah," Ashley said turning up her Walkman.

"Good bye Malfoy!" Harry shouted at him.

"Fine Potter I am leaving," he said. He looked back and scowled at them and then left.

"Ashley who exactly I mean how?" Ron asked stumbling over his words.

"No one really I just you know have known how to do that for like forever," Ashley said hitting Becka who was still laughing.

"Yea and she like can't teach me how I think it is like no fair. I will be able to though someday, and then you going down," said Becka hitting Ashley softly.

"You do know that not using a wand for performing a spell and mostly a dark spell like you just cast is a sign of a dark master?" Hermione said obviously quoting from a book.

"Yeah I know but . . ." Ashley started.

Hermione interrupted, "There are no buts how long did you have to practice to be able to do such a powerful spell without the help of a wand?"

"Practice?" Ashley asked in a confused voice.

"Yes many dark lords took many years to learn and gain enough power to be able to do what you just did," Hermione said in a know it all voice.

"Nope I don't practice and nope I ain't no dark lord either," Ashley said. She was getting a little scared with all this dark lord stuff. p

"Hey Hermione cut her some slack," Harry chuckled.

Ashley smiled a thankful smile at him. Hermione blushed and sat back.

"Hey Ash have you seen Meg?"

"Meg oh Shi . . . oot I forgot about her," Ashley laughed.

Just then a girl walked in she was about as tall as Ashley with brown hair in-between Ashley's and Becka and dark hazel eyes, "I don't find it funny Ash."

"Oh Meg . . . Opps," Ashley said sitting up quickly.

"Yeah that's a big opps!" Meg said, "Hey boys can you 2 scoot over a little."

Neville blushed, "Yeah." Neville pushed Seamus over so there was more then enough room for Megan.

"Oh thanks Neville now she is in clear slapping rang," Ashley chuckled as Meg slapped her shoulder.

Ron and Harry smiled at Meg. "Hi I am . . .."

"The Harry Potter nice to meet ya and this must be Ron and Hermione. Oh sorry I am a newspaper fanatic and well you guys are like in their well more then I have ever been," Meg chuckled.

"Let me guess you're one of the practical jokers," Ron asked.

Meg laughed and tall three of them did the weird handshake, "Of course I am! So did Ash show you her cool trick?"

Hermione looked up, "Yes I believe she did." p

Just then the train came to a complete stop. "Oh great we're here I just want to go to bed," Becka said pretending to yawn.

"Well, you can't yet we have to go to the feast," Seamus said standing up and smiling at Becka.

"Yes now your talking my language, FOOD!" Ashley said running out of the train.

"Does she all ways have that much energy?" Seamus asked them.

"Oh I think she's tired," Meg laughed.

Hermione groaned, "Are you serious!"

In about 15 minutes they were all seated in the great hall. Ashley was sitting next to Harry and Seamus and across from Becka and Meg. On the other side of Harry was Hermione and on the other side of Seamus was Ginny. Ron was sitting next to Becka and Neville was sitting next to Meg.

"Dude so what are they doing like now?" Ashley asked Harry as Professor McGongall got on stage.

Harry took his eyes off the stage and looked at Ashley, "Oh they are sorting."

"Oh like into houses right," Meg asked.

"I really don't care where's the food?"

"Hold on it's coming," Ron said.

After the feast Ashley was fool she was walking with Becka, Meg, Harry, Hermione, and Ron back to the common room when a professor walked up to them, "Hello Ashley the headmaster wishes to talk to you."

"Hello Professor McGongall," Hermione said.

After Ashley left with McGongall Harry asked, "Hey why would Ash have to talk with Dumbledore?"

"Well that acutely is why she is here she said that she had to come here to help him with something we are just here cause they allowed her to bring 3 friends," Becka said looking over at Meg with a mischievous smile.

"I thought you guys said you are here because you got expelled because of being practical jokers," Hermione pointed out.

"No all Ash said was that we are practical jokers," Becka laughed.

"So what does she need to help Dumbledore with?" asked Ron.

"She don't know."

Back at Dumbledore's office Ashley shifted uneasily in her chair. Finally after 5 minutes, which seemed like an hour to Ashley Dumbledore walked in. He smiled at Ashley and Ashley smiled back, "Hello Ashley I haven't scene you in a very long while."

"Yes it has been a while," Ashley said uneasily.

"I bet you are wondering why I had you transferred, well you and your friends," he said with the sparkle in his eyes that Ashley found very enchanting about him.

"Yeah it crossed my mind," Ashley answered anxiously.

"Well, I need your help training one of my students I feel that he is in great danger with Voldemort," he said turning very serious all of a sudden.

"Harry Potter?" Ashley blurted out.

"Yes I thought you would know who."

"But sir I do . . ."

"Trust me Ashley me and Professor Lupin will help you train him. I really need you help."

"Yes sir I will do my best."

"Thank you Ashley that is all I ask of you I have also told all you teacher that you need advanced homework," He said his eyes shinning at her again.

Ashley groaned, "Why thanks what a great godfather you are."
