"Wake up!" Stokley hears a faint voice by her door.
"Get up your going to be late for school!" Stokley's mother opens the drapes to her window. Stokley gets up and moans as she stretches in the sun light wincing at the brightness. "Come on hurry its 9:30 am!"
she looks to her bed and sees some cloths laid out for her, she grabs them and slips on her baggy "lots 'o' pocketed" pants and puts them on, along with her black shirt that says "the last thing I would do is hurt you, but its still on the list" she grabs her cat Salem and puts him in his carry on.
"Ok grab something to eat it will take us a half hour to get to the train station!" her mother says,
Stokley yawns and grabs an apple. She was never used to waking up this early, usually she woke up at noon, but however she walks to the door and looks behind her and sees her baggage's floating in the air, along with her cat. Stokley walks out to the car and sets all the baggage's in the trunk and holds onto Salem as she sits in the front seat.
"Ok now we're off!" her mother says and starts the car. Stokley finishes her apple and throws it in the trash tin as they drive out of the garage.
"You're going to love Hogwarts, much better education and I went there when I was your age" Stokleys mother says.
Stokley stares out the window and ignores her mother talking. Her mother begins to stop and stares at Stokley's non emotional face. She then stares at the road and wishes she wasn't doing this to her daughter, but yet she thinks to herself that Stokley needs to know about her and her family and may be more excepted at Hogwarts. Stokley stares off into space wondering how this new school will be.
"whats the point of going to Hogwarts?" Stokley asks
"Oh honey, i know your years at Drumstrang weren't all that great but you'll make a fresh start at Hogwarts!" her mother says. Stokley nods and stares out the window again.
When they finally make it to the train station, Stokley pulls out all her baggage's and puts them on a trolley and pushes it to the entrance.
"Well that's it dear!" her mother says. Stokley looks at her mother without emotion; her mother stares at her and starts to cry as she gives her daughter a huge hug.
"Oh I'm going to miss you my dear!" Stokley stands still really embarrassed.
"Uh mum there's people watching!" Stokley's face turns red from her mother's tight hug and she finally let's go.
"Now send me an owl a week you hear?" Stokley nods and starts to push her trolley inside.
"And write about everything!" Stokley nods again watching her mother enter the car
"Oh and come out for Christmas break!" her mom starts the car and waves
"Yes I know mum bye!" Stokley gives off a fake wave to her mother as she watches her leave.
She looks at her watch and it reads 10:30am. "Better go find, uh platform 9 3/4" Stokley says to herself.
She walks down to the platforms and only sees 9 and 10. "Ok there's no 9 3/4" Stokley looks around but doesn't see it.
She starts to remember when her mother said something about running through 2 platforms. Stokley looks up at the platforms and steps back.
"Ok Salem I'd close your eyes if I were you." Salem meows and turns around facing Stokley.
She starts at a slow pace then starts to jog and runs faster and faster to the platforms. She closes her eyes getting ready to smash into the wall. She instantly stops as she slowly opens her eyes to see she didn't crash but she ran right through to the platform. Stokley looks up at the platform number 9 3/4 and smiles at her success.
"Ok Salem lets get aboard!" she hands her trolley to the workers and grabs Salem walking on the train to a compartment.
Stokley walks past 3 full compartments and finally sees an empty one; she sets Salem down and lets him out as he hops on her lap and sleeps. Stokley looks out the window and sees lots of students boarding the train already. She hears the door slide open and she looks to see a lady with a trolley full of food.
"Anything off the trolley dear?" the lady asks.
Stokley looks at the trolley and beams at the berttie botts every flavor beans and the chocolate frogs!
"I'll take about 10 bags of the beans and 5 chocolate frogs there!" she hands the lady her galions and the lady in return gives her the candy.
"Ahh quite a sweet tooth there eh?" the lady smiles at Stokley and moves on to the next compartment.
Stokley looks out the window again and turns to the door as she hears Salem hiss. A tall boy with bleached blonde hair and gray-blue eyes walks in.
"Uh sorry is this compartment taken?" he asks. Stokley shakes her head and goes on to eating her candies.
"Oh I'm so rude my name is Malfoy..." the boy takes Stokley's hand and kisses it lightly "Draco Malfoy" Draco winks at Stokley and she takes her hand back.
"I'm Stokley Parker" Draco smiles at her
"Lovely name" Stokley smiles back and looks out the window.
"You new?" Draco asks.
"Uh yes transferred from Drumstrag!" Stokley answers.
"Ah Drumstrag, Hogwarts is nothing compared to Drumstrag I bet!"
Stokley stays silent not answering. She hears the doors open again and sees 2 fat guys in the door way.
"Draco! Its Potter. He says trash about you!" Stokley looks over at Draco and see he's pretty mad.
"I'll get that Potter!" Draco gets his wand out and stands up "oh I'm sorry I'll be but just a minute. Stokley lets out a fake smile and nods as Draco leaves.
Stokley looks out the window again letting Salem play with a chocolate frog. she turns her head to the door again and sees to red headed twins pop in.
"Oh sorry is this Dracos compartment?" they ask.
"I guess so?" Stokley shrugs and stares at the boys.
They seem to whisper at each other for a moment. Stokley stares at them wondering what they are talking of.
"Oh pardon us we are so rude! My name is Fred and this here is George!" Fred points to George and they smile.
Stokley smiles back being confused all together.
"we were going to lay a stink bomb in here but since such a pretty lady like yourself is in here--" Fred stops and lets George continue "we're not going to!" they smile at Stokley and she nods.
"Why would you want to lay a stink bomb in here?" she asks
"Oh Malfoy, see he's a snitch and pretty annoying at times--" "plus it's always fun to see the look on peoples faces when they smell a stink bomb!" they laugh together giving each other a high five.
"Well we better be shoving off before Malfoy gets in here" Fred leaves but George stays handing her a stick of what seems to be TNT.
"Here pull this string and put it into Malfoys pocket!"
"What will it do?"
"Oh don't worry it will just shoot off temporary stinking gas!" George giggles and runs off. Stokley looks at the stick and stares as Salem plays with the string at the end and after a few moments Draco walks into the compartment.
"Damn reached potter!" he mumbles as he walks in.
Stokley remembers the stick and pulls the string as she lightly slips it into his pocket.
"It should burst in a few more minutes" she thinks to herself,
Salem crawls into his carry on and Stokley gets ready to cover her nose.
"What is it Stokley you seem really quiet" Draco says,
Stokley sees a little wisp of gas coming and she starts to giggle as she covers her nose.
"Stokley what in--" Draco sniffs the air and starts to flinch. "Ahh! WEASLY!!!" he screams
Stokley can't help but laugh, the smoke begins to cover the whole compartment. Stokley opens the window and it all drifts away.
"I swear those weasly twins are always causing a ruckus around here! I can't wait till they graduate out of here for good." Draco brushes himself off and Stokley can't stop giggling,
She looks outside and sees its getting dark. "Excuse me I must go change!"
Stokley grabs her robes and walks off to the bathroom to get changed. As she walks out she bumps into someone.
"Oaf! Oh I'm sorry I didn't see where I was going!" Stokley looks up and sees a boy with black hair and glasses hiding the most beautiful green eyes she's ever seen.
"Oh no I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention, I'm Stokley Parker I just transferred from Drumstrag!" she lays her hand out to him and he shakes it.
"Oh well I'm Harry! Harry potter, I'm in Gryffindor" Stokley can't help but stare at his green eyes.
"Well I must be going we'll be arriving soon! Hope you get in Gryffindor!" Harry waves at Stokley and walks to his compartment. Stokley sighs and walks to her own.
As she walks into the compartment she notices the smell is gone, she lets Salem back out to walk around one more time until they arrive at hogwarts.
"What house do you think you'll get sorted into?" Draco asks.
Stokley's mother had told her about the houses, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. Her mom was in slytherin and her father was in ravenclaw, she never knew much about her father only that he died before she was born.
"Well my mum was in Slytherin when she was here and my father was in Ravenclaw, I'm not sure" Stokley stares out the window and sees dim lights of Hogsmaede ahead.
"Ahh yes Hogsmaede fantastic place, best shops anywhere."
Stokley nods and remembers her mom telling her about the town outside of Hogwarts. Salem jumps on Stokley's lap and purrs.
"I really do hope you get in Slytherin!" Draco says holding Stokley's hands; Salem stirs and groans a little.
"Really?" Stokley asks looking into his eyes.
"Yes I do!" they move their faces close,
Salem starts to hiss at Draco at his move. Stokley stops and sees Salem jump at Draco scratching his hand.
"Ahhh!" Draco sits back on the other side of the compartment and Stokley grabs Salem as she stuffs him in the carry on.
"Oh I'm sorry he's usually not like that!" she stares at Dracos hand as it bleeds.
"It's not a problem!"Draco says.
Stokley stares at the blood; everything starts to go mute as she licks her lips.
"Stokley?" she hears Draco, she snaps back to life and stares into his eyes.
"Yes draco?" she asks staring back at the blood.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Stokley shakes her head and stares out the window as Draco taps his wand as the scratch and it heals.
The train finally stops and Stokley grabs Salem and heads outside. She steps on the old fashioned brick road and sees about 2 dozen carriages lined up in front of her.
"Come on here's an empty one!" says Draco. Stokley walks over to him and he helps her inside and closes the door behind himself.
"I bet you'll love it here, the teachers are grand especially Snape! He teaches potions"
Stokley nods her head. She looks over at Draco and sees that he's staring at her with longing eyes.
"You really are pretty you know that?" Draco asks her. Stokley blushes and lets out a smile.
She stares out the window and notices that the carriage is moving. She looks ahead and sees Hogwarts approaching. She feels a pair of hands grabbing hers; she looks over and sees Draco holding her hands. Draco moves closer to her for a kiss but stops as Salem hisses.
"I guess your cat doesn't like me much" Draco says
Stokley nods and smiles, the carriage stops and Draco helps her out along with her cat.
"Well here's Hogwarts!" Stokley looks up the huge castle in awe.
"Its magnificent!" she follows Draco inside, all the student's cramp into the main hall, Stokley sets Salem down where all the owls and other pets are laid down. An old woman in green walks up to Stokley
"Are you Stokley Parker?" she asks. Stokley stares at the women at first and nods. "the headmaster would like a talk with you!"
"ok" Stokley looks over to Draco
"go on! i'll meet up with you later!" he says and Stokley follows the green women.
"This way if you may."
Stokley follows the women to a huge statue of an eagle. The women in green says a password and the eagle opens to a flight of stairs.
"enter, hes waiting for you!"
Stokley gulps and walks up the stairs into a nicely decorated office. moving paintings are held all over and a phynix is perched on the desk. Stokley reaches her hand out to pet it but hears a deep voice up above her.
"Stokley Parker?"
"Yes?" stokley answers
"i am Proffecer Dumbledore, your mother has told me all about you through owls." he says walking down some stairs
"she has?" Stokley asks.
"Indeed, and she has told me about your secret." Dumbledore says
"Me being a Vampire?"
"Yes, but you are only half vampire so thats a good thing! you dont need to stay inside all the time...your not alergic to garlic--" Dumbledore is cut off as Stokley speeks
"um, actually sir thats just a myth. Vampires cant be killed by steaks, garlic, or crosses." Stokley explains.
"ah, i see then." Dumbledore says. "but, you do have cravings for blood, and that is a problem...but we can control that."
"with what?" Stokley asks.
"a potion that Proffecer Snape has created" Dumbledore answers. "here, drink this every month before you go to bed. it will help you control your cracings"
"thanks sir" Stokley takes the small vile and puts it into her pocket.
"i will have Snape send it down for you everymonth, he is your house leader in fact"
"what?" stokley asks
"Your from Drumstrang, so you are a Slytherin, like your mother. you dont need to be sorted for that." Dumbledor says while he sits down at his desk
"oh, ok sir" stokley says.
"well, get off with you! go sit down with your house mates!" dumbledor lightly shouts
"ok sir thanks!" stokley runs down the stairs and to the great hall.
