"It all began at Graduation"

Hi, I'm kinda sorta new. oO I used to be known as CaptainCaribbean and I wrote anime fics, POTC fics, and many LOTR ones too. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan (Ron Weasley is the love of my life) and I hope you enjoy this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of J.K. Rowling's characters. Only Notorious Eppes since she is my own…even then, the name Eppes came from my favorite TV Show "NUMB3RS" so there you go.

Prologue+

"Neville's in a really good mood isn't he?" Hermione Granger said as she sat in the Great Hall waiting for the opening festivities.

"I don't see why." Her friend Ron Weasley said sitting next to her, "Who gets excited about the first day back at school?"

"Neville obviously." Their other friend Harry Potter said as he sat down next to Ron.

"As do I." Hermione said to Ron giving him a glare. "You could learn to like it as well."

"I have to agree with Mione on that one mate." Harry said, "Even I like school more than being back at Privet Drive." Ron rolled his eyes,

"Oh get off it Harry, that's just because you've got those creeps you call family over there." Harry nodded,

"Yes, well, that too, but I was thinking of the reasons why I like it here. Dumbledore, Quiddatch, and more importantly….Hermione." Hermione smiled at him dreamily as they leaned in for a kiss…with poor Ron between them. They had hooked up at the end of the previous school year. Hermione and Ron had tried, but they realized that they were more like siblings, but would always be best friends. Harry had been with Ron's sister Ginny, but after their 4th year and the Yule Ball, Ginny's heart went for Neville. So there they were. To say Ron envied Harry would be an understatement, but he did feel left out.

"Okay, break it up you 2." He said pushing them apart.

"Sorry Ron." The 2 said. "I thought you and Lavender were going out again this summer." Hermione said placing her hand on his shoulder. Ron shook his head,

"She tires me out, and I dunno, she's not the girl." The other 2 nodded. "Aww well, don't look at me like that you guys. Who knows, maybe I'll have better luck this year. It's gonna be good you know. Fred and George are graduating. It's gotta be good." The 3 friends laughed. They all liked the Weasley twins, but Ron needed to be the only Weasley boy for a change. He was always following in the footsteps of all his older brothers.

Suddenly Neville ran by. "Hey guys!" He cried "Have you seen my cousin?" The 3 friends looked at him funny,

"Neville. How can you lose your cousin?" Hermione said with a sigh.

"Well, she likes to wander, and-"

"Neville, if we see her we'll let you know, now go find her." Harry said. With that Neville ran off. "Wonder who his cousin is." He muttered. Ron just laughed,

"Oh no! Another Longbottom."

"Actually, Nevy and I have different last names. His mom and my dad are siblings. Strange, I thought you knew that Mr. Weasley." A female voice said. The trio turned around and Ron was met with big snappy hazel eyes.

"Tori?" He whispered, a small smile touching his lips. The girl laughed,

"You're still the only friend of mine that calls me that."

"What is your name?" Harry asked.

"Oh sorry, my name's-"

"Notorious! There you are!" Neville cried running back over to them wrapping her in a hug. Notorious smiled at Harry and Hermione.

"My name's Notorious Eppes, but I like Tori." Ron and the others smiled at her.

"It's great to see you T." he said with a huge smile.

"How do you 2 know each other?" Neville, Harry, and Hermione asked at the same time. The 2 just laughed,

"We grew up together." Ron said looking at Tori. His face grew sad,

"But then she and her family moved away to the Muggle World the summer before our 1st year at Hogwarts. And I never saw her again."

"Until now." She said taking his hand.

"So, are you visiting Neville, or are you going to be going here?" Hermione asked excitedly. Tori's eyes sparkled,

"Lets find out." She whispered as she took Neville's hand and walked towards the staff table and the sorting hat. Professor McGonagall smiled,

"Aww, Miss. Eppes. I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever get the youngest sibling." Harry and Hermione looked at Ron. He chuckled,

"Her family's almost as big as mine, cept she's the youngest." They looked up as McGonagall placed the sorting hat on Tori's head. Soon it began to speak,

"Hmmm…another Eppes. Haven't had any of you in a while. How's Don?"

"He's an Auor now." Tori replied. McGonagall cleared her throat.

"You have a very short…and almost dangerous temper," the hat said as it continued, "You're mysterious and quick witted like a Slytherin." Ron's face fell, "But," said the hat, "You have the strive for adventure, and you are quite the Prankster." The 3 friends laughed lightly, "And," said the hat, "You have a heart of gold. There is no doubt; you are definitely a…Gryffindor." The students clapped and the Gryffindor's yelled out their approval.

"Ron!" Ginny yelled to her brother, "Is that, is that Tori?" Ron smiled big,

"You bet it is Gin." Tori and Neville joined them at the Gryffindor table as Dumbledore began to talk about the upcoming year. Ron smiled as Tori sat down across from him.

"What are you smiling about Ronald?" she whispered.

"Oh nothing." Ron whispered back, "I'm just thinking about how this year is gonna rock."
