American At Hogwarts

by Royal Mason

Ryan White has known for years that she is different from everyone else. So, when she finds out that she has been accepted into Hogwarts, she is not very surprised. First fic here, so I'm new to the process. Will update as much as I can.

1. Chapter 1

(AN- I came up with this idea last night, but only started typing it today. I am really excited, as this is my first story on ff.n!)

That morning, RJ woke up at 5:30am, which had become quite normal for her lately. She got dressed and sat down at her desk to use her laptop. Suddenly, an old man appeared in her bedroom.

"Aah! Pedophile!" RJ said, surprised. Looking closer, however, she realized that this man was none other than Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "I'm sorry about what I just said, I was just surprised at your sudden appearance." RJ apologized.

"It is alright, Ryan. I understand, but that was the strangest response I've ever received." Dumbledore replied, adding, "I am here to tell you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term begins on September first, oh, I forgot, that's today. What time is it, Ryan?"

"5:45am, Central Standard Time. It is, uh, hmm, lemme see, well, I think it's, uh, 11:47am in Britain. Wow, that took me two minutes to figure out! Heh heh." RJ replied, trailing off.

"Thank you. As I was saying, oh, I just realized, you will have to come with me to Hogwarts, as the train has already left. 50 minutes ago, to be exact," Dumbledore responded, looking at the clock in the corner of the laptop screen. After a short pause, he added, "You will be in first year, and, yes, I know that you're thirteen, but it would be better for you to be in first year. And, I have heard about you from your friend Mallary, and I thought, since you're protective of your friends, that you would make a nice friend for Harry Potter, who's entering his first year today. You would also make a good Gryffindor, but we'll let the Sorting Hat decide that tonight."

"Well, let's go!" RJ replied, eager to leave and go to Hogwarts. Dumbledore took RJ's hand and Disapparated. They arrived at Hogwarts seconds later. Well, they were actually at the gates, but it still counted. Dumbledore tapped the huge lock with his wand and led RJ inside and to a large office that was obviously Dumbledore's. There was a large pile of wand boxes on Dumbledore's desk, and RJ was instructed to try each of them until she got the right one. In the end, she got a wand that was Rowan, hippogriff feather, 12 inches long.
