Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, Hermoine, Ron, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and all those other amazing characters JK Rowling made up. I own Rick Kyne, Akina, Ayame Kyto and their parents, Steve, Christine, John, Michelle and all her other friends.

Note: Akina and her friends are in the same year as Harry Potter. I've removed most of Harry's friend like Ernie MM, Justin FF. I've altered Fred and George Weasley abit to fit in with the plot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akina Kyto laid in bed one night before boarding the Hogwarts Express, thinking back to the first day that she went to Hogwarts.

Unlike most of the first years, she wasn't nervous. Her sister, Ayame, was in her 5th year at Hogwarts and she was extremely popular and well- liked. Professor McGonagall had told them to line up outside the Great Hall in alphabetical order. In front of her was a tall guy, who she later found out was called Rick Kyne; he was sorted into Hufflepuff.

Her friend Christine had a crush on him last year... she wondered whether they'd gone out or not. Chrissy had told her that he was Muggle-born and lived in London, not far from Chrissy's residence. Akina went back to her first-year memories.

Behind her in line was Neville Longbottom, a Gryffindor who hung out with Harry Potter. Behind him was the 'famous' Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius Malfoy. Akina's dad, Mr. Kyto worked for the Ministry of Magic, as the head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Being one of the few pureblood families left, they knew the Malfoys well. Akina had met Draco before, when her dad held huge parties and invited everyone in the wizarding world over. Finally, after what seemed like hours of waiting, Professor McGonagall led them into the Great Hall. Akina was surprised to find that she knew quite a few people in the upper years sitting at the Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tables. Ayame had had a huge party a week ago at their mansion, where Akina been able to meet quite a few people in every year.

First year – it seemed like such a long time ago. Akina flipped over in her bed. "Might as well get some sleep before tomorrow," she thought. And with that, she fell asleep.

-----

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Akina jumped out of bed. Someone had just dumped a bucket of ice cold water over her.

"What on earth do you think you're doing Ayame?!" Akina ran to her bathroom and grabbed a towel to wipe herself dry. Ayame walked into the bathroom behind her.

"Just trying to jump start your year at Hogwarts," Ayame smiled, picked up a brush and started brushing her sister's long black hair with blue streaks, "this will be your first year there without me."

"Oh yah. Aww, I'm going to miss you so much big sis!" Akina said, forgetting temporarily about the wake-up call incident, "At least I'll be able to see all my friends again. Haven't seen or heard much from them during the summer, since most of them have Muggle parents."

"Well, I supervised the packing of all your school things. Your owl Arum is waiting for you in her cage on your suitcase. I had the house elves pack you a backpack with owl treats, plenty of chocolate frogs, lots of your favorite Muggle candies and plenty of other things to do on the Hogwarts Express. Though I suspect you probably won't need it. We'll be expecting you downstairs for breakfast in 20 minutes." Ayame gave her sister a quick hug before going back downstairs. Akina took a quick shower, blow-dried her hair, applied her makeup and then went down to breakfast.

-----

After a hearty breakfast and repeatedly telling her mom that she would miss her cooking, Akina went upstairs and got dressed in her Hogwarts uniform. She said goodbye to her dad as he Apparated to the Ministry. The house elves brought her suitcase, owl cage and backpack to the fireplace.

"Platform Nine and Three Quarters!" Mrs. Kyto shouted while her, Ayame and Akina carried her suitcase, owl cage and backpack through the fireplace. Mrs. Kyto gave Akina a quick hug before disappearing back into the fireplace. Ayame helped Akina put all her stuff onto a trolley and they walked over to the Hogwarts Express. They were pretty early, but some of her friends were already there. She walked around with her sister, saying hi and hugging all their friends. She saw Rick and made a mental note to ask Christine whether they've gone out. In the corner of her eye, she saw Draco, with his usual Crabbe and Goyle.

"Can't believe I actually went out with him this summer!" she muttered in disgust to herself. She thought it couldn't have been too bad, but he turned out to be nothing but an egotistic and ignorant bastard.

She spotted Steve and John, who've just entered the platform. Akina walked over to them.

"Hey you guys! I miss you so much, haven't seen you in what seems like ages!" Akina gave each of them a quick hug, "Where's Shelly?"

"We saw her get out of her car when we were about to cross the barrier, she should be here in a couple minutes." Steve, John and Michelle were all Muggle-born, their parents know each other well so they were able to see each other all through summer.

"Akina! I miss you so much!" Michelle jumped out from the barrier. She pushed her trolley over in the general direction of Steve and John while throwing herself over Akina.

"Hey! How was your summer?" Akina embraced her best friend, while chuckling as Steve and John fall over each other trying to get out of the way of Michelle's trolley.

-----

By this time the platform had started to fill up, they walked around saying hi to other friends. Soon, it was time to leave. Akina ran over to where Ayame was, talking to an ex.

"Sis, I'll have to go, have fun at the Ministry!" Akina gave her sister one last hug.

"Don't forget to write to me all the time. I'll miss you!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget!" And with that, Akina jumped onto the already starting to move Hogwarts Express and joined Steve, John and Michelle in their compartment.

Well that was the prologue! Since that was what I had written before I even started my 2-page outline of my first chapter, I decided to have the prologue. Well, read, c&c and tell me what you think about it!
