I dont own Hooch.. Hermione, Harry, Dumbledore. Sinistra, McGonagall.. blah blah you get the picture!
One sunny morning at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Rolanda Hooch was pacing her office, Minevera McGonagal at her side, Sinistra was stood by the fireplace
"Why dont you just go and speak to Albus?" Minevera asked
"WHAT? and risk losing my job as flying tutor?! ARE YOU CRAZY!" Rolanda exploded, Minevera sighed
"Rolanda..." She tried to talk to her, Rolanda just snorted
"Im not telling him"
"Why not?"
"because!"
"Rolanda why wont you just go and talk to him!" Sinistra said to her
Rolanda gave in and decidecd to go to talk to Albus Dumbledore. She walked into his office
"Ah Rolanda.. good to see you" he said from behind his desk, Rolanda shifted nervously
"Professor.. sir" She began, Albus looked at her worriedly
"My dear please sit down, your nervousness cannot be good" he said to her, he muttered Accio and a chair arrived from the other side of the room
"Thank you Albus" She said, She sat down and explained her problem to him.
"i dont for one second see a problem with that" he said to her "Im sure we can work something out" he added with a smile
Four years later..
"Falcon!!!!" rolanda yelled up the staircase. A timid girl poked her head round the banister
"yea Mum?" She asked
"Come here!" She said, The little girl walked downstairs
"Whats up Mum?" She asked. Rolanda picked up her daughter and topok her into the kitchen
"Theres nothing up" She said to her "Im just wanting to talk to you.. because you know mummy
starts work again in September..." She said, Falcon sighed
"I know" She said
"Well you start school in september..." She said
"Oh!" Falcon said "How comes?"
"Because you do!" She replied "So we have to get you all ready for school"
"Am i going to your school?" Falcon asked her
"No.. not for a while yet.. but im sure you'll do just fine at this school" Rolanda promised her
Three months later....
"See you in the holidays Falcon" Rolanda waved her daughter off as she got onto the bus
"See you Mummy!" She waved
once she was on the bus. Falcon sat on a spare seat near the back and stared out of the window, she saw her Mum walking away from the Bus and into a nearby pub. She noticed a girl sit beside her
"Can i sit here? is it ok?" She asked
"Sure" Falcon said, taking her bag off the seat
"Im Hermione Granger... and you are?"
"Falcon Hooch" She said
"Funny name isnt it?" a boy said from the back
"No its not!" Falcon retorted
"Yeah it is! As if anyone would call thier child Falcon" Another jeered, Hermione just sat with her and engaged her in a friendly game of cards
Once they got to the school, Falcon nearly jumped off the bus in an attempt to get out of the sound of the jeering. She looked up at a teacher, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression
"Are you okay?" The teacher asked
"Fine thank you" Falcon said
"Okay.. well if you'll all follow me.. the Janitor will take your things to your rooms" The teacher said to the group
As soon as they had been introduced to all the teachers, they where shown to thier dorm rooms
"I hope im in the same room as you" Hermione said to her "I dont want to be on my own"
"I hope so too, i hope none of those beastly people from on the bus are in our room either" Falcon said
"Okay children when i call your name you can come and stand behind the prefect i call out..Angela Peterson is prefect for the first floor dorms.. in her dorms will be..
Hermione Granger
Falcon Hooch
Amy Edwardson
Sally Simpkins..."
Falcon didnt listen to the rest, she just walked to the prefect, who was wearing a long coat and a uniform. The prefect lead them to the rooms and sat them in what she called "the common room"
"Okay... so why dont you all get to know each other while i go and make sure all your things have arrived?"Angela said
The girls started talking
"Hi! Im Amy! whats your name"
"Falcon.." She said, feeling rather silly
"Thats a funny name.. but its cool" Amy said, seeing the rage in her eyes
"You think its cool?" Falcon asked
"Yeah!" She smiled. A girl was standing in the corner, Falcon went over
"Hi..." She smiled
"Go away!" The girl sneered, startled, Falcon stumbled backwards "Freak!" the girl added
"I am not a freak!" Falcon said
"Yes you are" Another girl said
"Why am i?" Falcon asked angrily
"Just look at yourself to answer that one" The other girl sneered. Falcon turned on her heel and walked off, she turned round
"Well muggles you surely dont know how to get along do you?!" She said to them, leaving the girls startled,. Angela came back into the room and gave the girls the room numbers. Hermione, Amy and Sally ran to their room
Once in their room, out of the way of the others, Falcon sighed
"Are you ok?" Sally asked her, Falcon shook her head
"Dont let them get to you" Hermione told her "And whats a Muggle?"
"Nothing" Falcon said "Just a word my Mummy uses sometimes" She added, Angela came in to the room with a knock
"How are all you girls?" She asked
"Fine" Hermione said to her.
When Friday came round, Falcon was thankful. She ran to her room after teatime and jumped onto her bed, Angela was walking to her room when she saw the blur run into room 98. She walked after her
"Falcon? are you okay?"
"Go away" Falcon replied, hiding in her bed
"C'mon Falcon... whats happened?" Angela asked, She shut the door and sat on her bed
"Everyone pokes fun at me" She said, tears running down her face "They all call me a fweak"
"Youre not a freak.." Angela said
"Stupid dumb Muggles!" she said
"Yeah... i know" Angela said
"Youre a witch too?" Falcon whispered
"Oh yeah... im going to Hogwarts next year" She told her
"My Mummy works there" Falcon said
"She does?"
"Yeah.. i dont know what she teaches though" Falcon said
"I'll be sure to see her then" Angela said "Now who is calling you names?" She asked
"All the other girls the other rooms.. and the boys in my classes" She said "They call me stupid and freak an they say that i have horrible eyes and stuff" She frowned
"I think youre eyes are very nice" Angela said "theyre Falcon eyes"
"I know... Dats why my names Falcon... my mum is an Eagle... why i dont know... I never asked" She grumbled..
When the summer came round. Falcon was off home to her Mum. She bid goodbye to Hermione and promised to phone her
as she stepped off the bus to see her Mum. Rolanda smiled as Falcon walked over, lugging her things with her
"hey Fal.. how was school?" She asked
"Im not going back!" Falcon told her "They poke fun at me, they tease me and the hit me and i am not going back! stupid Muggles!"
"Falcon!" Rolanda tutted "What've i told you about using that word infront of them?"
"Sorry" Falcon said as they walked home
Once home. Falcon went to look for her broomstick
"No flying this summer!" Rolanda told her
"Why Mum?"
"because I said so Falcon.. now come here" She said to her, Falcon sat down on the settee infront of the fire. Rolanda took some powder from a little tub and threw it into the fire
"DUMBLEDORE!" She yelled, in a few seconds, Albus appeared in the fireplace
"You called Rolanda?" he smiled
"i did Headmaster! Please.. tell me the name of that school.." She asked, Albus smiled
"its called Winders School for girls...."
"Thank you Headmaster.. i'll owl them right away"
"Erm Rolanda.. its a Muggle school" Albus laughed
"Oh.. well then ill write to them...." She replied, and with a pop! Dumbledore's face was gone
Seven Years On
"Falcon! c'mon we have to go to Diagon Alley"Rolanda said
"Im ready!" Falcon replied, coming down the stairs.
"Okay.. go on.. use Floo, we dont have enough time to mess around!" She said
"Okay okay im going im going!!!" Falcon said, She threw the Floo into the fire and yelled
"DIAGON ALLEY!"
Hermione Granger was walking out of Madame Milkins Robes for All Occasions when she saw a grey haired girl with her mother, they were just coming out of Quality Qudditch Supplies
"Im sure i know her from somewhere" She muttered to herself. She shrugged and got on with her shopping...
September the First came quickly and Falcon boarded the Hogwarts Express. She sat in an empty compartment with her
Owl and her other things. She was looking outside when a girl came in
"Excuse me? do you mind? all the other's are full" She said
"Not at all" Falcon said warmly, The girl sat down
"Im Hermione Granger.."
"Im Falcon Hooch....hey.. wait a sec!"
"ITS YOU!" they both cheered, they hugged
"Ohmigosh i havent seen you in years!" Hermione said to her
"I know!! my Mum transferred me cause i was being bullied! Jee i never new you were a witch!"
"I didnt either.. till this summer! i got my Hogwarts Letter! What about you?"
"Mum works at Hogwarts... so im Witch anyway.. never been to Hogwarts mind you.. she would never take me there!"
"Wow!" Hermione grinned
Once they got to Hogwarts. They were waiting to be Sorted
"So its true then.. what they were saying on the train.. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts!" A blonde lad sneered, Falcon rolled her eyes and turned the Hermione. who was talking to a girl, They filed into the Great Hall and waited to be Sorted
"When i call your name, come forward. and ill place the Sorting Hat on your head" Professor McGonagall said
"Hermione Granger..." Hermione went up to the hat...
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Susan Bones"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Falcon Hooch" Falcon looked at the head table, She saw her Mum sat back looking at her with a reassuring smile, She walked upto the hat, Prof. McGonagall sat it on her head
"hmmmm difficult.... very difficult...natural born flier... lots of talent.... better be...." the hat went silent for a moment
"RAVENCLAW!" Falcon finally got up off the stool and walked shakily to the Ravenclaw table
"Welcome to Ravenclaw" A prefect smiled
"Thanks" She said, looking over to see Hermione looking a little sad
Once the feast had been finished, The Ravenclaw's walked to their dorm room. Falcon looked around to try to remember the way to her dorm, a girl smiled
"Hi.. im Cho Chang"
"Hi! im Falcon Hooch" She said to her
"Youre Hooch's daughter aint ya" Another girl said
"Err yeah"
"She's head of house" the Prefect said to her
"Oh no!" Falcon sighed "Now i know she'll be on my back!" she groaned
"Nah. she's a fair head of house"the prefect replied
"I doubt that seriously!" Falcon laughed
The next morning
"Fal- hey where'd you go?" Cho pulled her bedspread back, A Falcon flew in threough an open window and changed
into her friend
"Damn! caught on first fly!" She grinned, Cho's expression was blank
"y-y-y-you.."
"Am an Animangus... have been since birth... but no-one's really supposed to know" Falcon said to her
"Oh right... well i was going to say that its time for breakfast" Cho replied
"Cool ok give me two seconds" Falcon said..
The pair went down to the Great Hall and sat at their table, Hermione came over
"hey Fal.."
"hey Mione! Mione this is Cho.. Cho this' Mione Granger"
"Nice to meet" They both shook hands
"Hey Fal.. Harry Potter was asking about you before" Hermione said
"THE Harry Potter?" Fal asked
"Yup! He's in Gryffindor like me.. so i was talking to him and he was asking me about you" Hermione said
"Sounds like you have an admirer" A familar voice said
"Muum! dont sneak up on me!" Falcon groaned
"i did no such thing! you just didnt see me walk over" Hooch said
"Hmh!" Falcon grumbled "What do i owe of thee's presence?" She asked her Mum
"Your time table" Hooch replied, she handed them out to her house, then walked back to the Head table.
