Chapter one:
It was mid September, the early morning dew setting onto the flowers in the gardens all around town. I had been up since 2:30 am this morning checking and re-checking my trunk. The day had finally come, I was going back to Hogwarts. I was going back to see my friends and hopefully, not get myself killed in the meantime. I heard a knock on my door as it opened. I turned to se my mother and father leaning on their pyjamas, leaning on my door frame. "We made your favourite kiddo. Bacon Pancakes." My father said as his arm hugged my mothers' shoulders. "Thanks, I'll come down in a few minutes. I'm just going to pack the rest of my things up." I replied as I forced a smile on my face. I was nervous. There was no doubting I was nervous. I picked up the last thing I needed to pack, the book filled with photos of my time so far left at Hogwarts. I sat on my bed and opened up the cover to see the same familiar photo, Draco Malfoy and I shaking hands over the Ravenclaw table. The caption read 'here the memories lay, here the memories shall stay.'
*FLASHBACK*
"GRYFFINDOR!" the sorting hat announced. Harry Potter jumped off the stool to go and join his friends at the Gryffindor friends. "Penelope Nolin!" Professor McGonagall announced. Slowly I walked up to the stool and sat down. The sorting hat was put onto my head, and I'm not going to lie, it was very uncomfortable, sweaty and in desperate need of a wash. The whole room fell silent once again, only the mummers from the hat could be heard. I could feel it moving on top of my head "mmm yes," it said "another difficult one indeed" I could feel my heartbeat rise. Difficult? Difficult? How could it be difficult? After a few more seconds of silence in the great hall before the hat made its decision. "RAVENCLAW!" I slid off the stool to go and join my new fellow house mates. I was greeted with a few slaps on the back and many congratulations. "Thank you, thank you" professor Dumbledore announced "Congratulations to all of those that have just been sorted into their houses, good luck to you all in your first year at Hogwarts. Now please, enjoy the feast." Suddenly rows upon rows of food appeared on the Ravenclaw table. I grabbed a plate and started to dig in. "Hey." I heard someone say "Hey!" I looked up to see a boy on the other side of the table looking back at me. He had hair whiter than snow and dazzling grey eyes. "My names Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." He said as he outstretched his hand. "Nolin. Penelope Nolin." I replied as I shook his hand. "So what do you say Penelope? Friends?" he asked. I couldn't say no, no one else had shown any interest in being my friend and I wasn't looking forward to starting my first year at Hogwarts as my older brother being my only friend. "Friends." I said as we shared a smile, our hands still together across the table. Suddenly there was a flash next to us. "this will look great!" said the boy behind the camera, "a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin as friends!" he continued before running back off. Draco and I laughed as he walked back over to the Slytherin table.
*PRESENT TIME*
I bounded down the stairs, fully dressed and ready for the train. "About time you came down! Its almost time to leave! Hurry up!" my brother frantically shouted at me. "Calm down Lionel. Let the poor girl eat first." My mother said, now fully dressed. "Actually, no thanks. I'm not very hungry." I said putting my stack of pancakes onto my little brothers' plate. "She is to nervous about us meeting her boyfriend" he mocked. "hey, I gave you my pancakes, be nice to me Phoenix." I responded back to him. "Anyway, he isn't my boy friend. He is just my friend that happens to me a male." I shot back at him. "Alright." My father said, now also fully dressed. "All four trunks in the car, now get all four small bodies in the car otherwise we are going to be late!" he roared through the house for everyone to hear. I walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway to find my little sister, amber, pulling at her hair. She turned to look at me, a look of distraught on her face. "Help me!" I walked up to her laughing. Our mother had never been good at doing our hair and amber was now feeling the pain it often caused. "here." I said taking her hair brush and brushing out all the knots before tying it back into a braid. I tied it off as she turned around to look at me. "You look adorable." I said, proud of the fact I did her hair with minimal bumps. "I'm scared." She said as she looked up at me. "don't be, the scariest part is finding what cabin to sit in on the way there, and I'll help you." I said giving her a hug. You see the thing with my family is that we are all completely different. Lionel is the oldest out of all of us and is the perfect Gryffindor, shabby blonde hair and deep brown eyes. Almost all the girls in his year fell for him. The two youngest where the twins, Phoenix and Amber-Jayne. Amber-Jayne was a spitting image of our mother, long blonde hair, lovely tanned skin and bright green eyes where Phoenix was a spitting image of our father, curly jet black hair, tanned skin and deep brown eyes. I on the other hand, looked nothing like anyone from my family from my wavy ginger hair, pale skin and bright blue eyes, as well as the joy of having several freckles plastered all over my face. I guess I really didn't belong anywhere, not even in my own family.
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I will try update as often as possible. All feedback is appreciated (and wanted!)
