Authors note: hi I hope you like the fanfic. Quite a few of the characters I made up so anything that is not in the books I own (I think) *g* PLEASE review. I mean reviews help so if no one reviews you wont get the next part. Oh well you probably have had enough of me blabbing on so I will shut up now. Have fun! J oh and McGonagall Dumbledore and flitwick are the only characters that are them selves, the rest are fathers, mothers, aunties, uncles, grandmothers or grandfathers to the present day characters.
SCHOOL DAYS
Chapter 1: the Hogwarts express
He stood there, looking at the scarlet steam engine. Taking in every detail, the students bustling about, owls hooting, cats meowing, toads croaking. So much to see, so much to learn. He heard snatches of conversations:
"Eliza, Kendra. If you cause so much as one piece of havoc you will be in so much trouble!"
"Mum! Aphrodite nicked my toad again."
"If you are in Gryffindor I will disown you!"
"Minerva have fun,"
"Simon be good."
"Mum, what is it like?"
In all the confusion, no one noticed him, standing there, all on his own. His brown hair neatly combed his bright blue eyes sparkling. He was carrying a large cage covered with a blue cloth, which had tiny silver moons and stars on it. Next to him was a large, black, shiny, new trunk. He looked around until his gaze fell on a tall woman with long, brown, plaited hair. She was warning a boy with the same brown hair, but shorter, to be careful. He set the cage down on the trunk and walked the short distance to her.
"Excuse me madam, but I have a problem" he said in a bold voice.
She looked at him, smiling,
"Yes what is it Mr.… um what is your name?" she asked
"Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore." He said
"Mr. Dumbledore what is your problem?"
"Well, I was thinking about how to tackle the task of getting my trunk and my fine bird Fawlks onto the train at the same time. You see I can not afford to lose Fawlks, well that is when I laid my eyes on your fine self. 'Ah, Albus' I thought to my self 'the problem might not be as big as I first thought.' So in my head I formed an idea, why not ask someone to bird-sit Fawlks while I take my trunk onto the train. So what I am asking is would you like to bird-sit him for just a few minuets?" he asked.
The woman looked shocked.
"Of course I will."
Albus went to the cage and picked it up.
"Could I ask of you one more thing?"
She nodded
"Do not, I repeat do not lift up the cloth."
She looked as if she was going to ask why, but thought better of it.
"What year are you in?" asked the boy standing next to her,
"Why I am in first year, and you?"
"First year too!" he happily said, "I am Remus Lupin."
"Pleased to meet you Remus Lupin."
"Um… Albus if I help you with your trunk will you help me with mine?"
"That is such a good idea, Remus getting that end."
Together they managed to haul both of the trunks aboard. They both boarded the train and found an empty compartment near the back of it. Once in it they sat down.
The door slid open and in came two girls with identical long black hair and dark brown eyes. They were mirror images.
"Can we sit in here," one said.
"Only every where else is full." The other one finished off.
"Of course, Eliza and Kendra black. That is your name, isn't it?" Albus asked.
"How did you know?" they both asked astonished.
"My father." Was the simple answer that he gave.
The twins sat down and started talking, when the door-slid open again, in came a girl with long, wavy blond hair and emerald colored eyes.
"Hi everyone" she said in a silky voice "Kendra! Eliza! This is where you are hiding" she looked at the to boys "I am not interrupting am I?" she teased the twins.
"Cassidy stop it" Kendra (or was it Eliza) said in mock anger. "Oh Albus, Remus this is Cassidy Trent. She is a big joker, and caused loads of trouble!"
"But not as much as us" the other twin said grinning deviously.
By the time the train had started moving Aphrodite Drewery, Romulus Flitwick, and Minerva McGonagall joined them. A few minuets later in came, Simon Potter, and bill Weasley. They were all chatting away merrily when Minerva suddenly exclaimed, "what's burning"
They all looked around and saw that Albus was turning very red, he noticed them looking at him and said, "it is Fawlks, I hoped that he would wait. He has to at a bad time"
"Who is Fawlks"
Albus was just about to answer when the compartment door slid open; there in to doorway stood a tall thin boy with greasy black hair and evil Grey eyes.
Albus jumped up quickly.
"Albus Dummydor, what hole did you crawl out off?" the boy asked meanly.
"Fredrick Snape, the let you in? My my I am surprised." Albus said in mock horror.
"Dumbledore watch it" the eyes were more mean
"Where are your body guards? Oh wait I forgot they weren't let into Hogwarts."
Snape went for his wand but Albus was quicker. He muttered something and a flash of blue light flew out of his wand. Snape whimpered, turned and ran, letting the door slowly, slide shut,
The others looked at Albus, shocked.
"W… what d… did… you d… d… do?" Simon stuttered.
At this point Albus went very, very red.
"I used the ridihally charm"
They stared at him for a moment then burst out laughing. A steady chatter broke out, but Albus was silent. 'Thank god that they didn't notice that, I used advanced magic. What if Snape told my father? My life wouldn't be worth living, but the look on snape's face was priceless.'
His thoughts were interrupted by a weird noise coming from Fawlke's cage.
"What the hell have you got in there?" bill asked.
"Fawlks" was the answer
"What is Fawlks"
"A bird."
The next question didn't come because the train stopped. They left their luggage on the train and went out to the boats. Albus didn't want to leave Fawlks but he had to. They went onto the boats In-groups of six; Albus went with Kendra, Eliza, Remus, Aphrodite and Cassidy. They sailed slowley across the lake.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" someone screamed.
Everyone turned to the direction of the scream. Romulus Flitwick, the tinniest person that Albus had ever seed had fallen (or been pushed by Snape who was in his boat) into the water. Albus grabbed his wand and muttered something and Romulus rose out of the waste and fell with a thud into his boat. There was a loud applause.
When they had moored and the boats had emptied, they followed the gamekeeper to the castle. The man knocked on the door and it slowly opened. A gasp arose…
