Chapter 2: The beginning.
Wow this is peculiar…I haven't really talked to anyone for about…hmmm…30 minutes or so…because I felt I might as well begin the story so that you can get all the more edgy when I decide that's enough for today…heeheeheeheehee!!!!!
For all of those that read the summary and thought it sounded intriguing that's great!!!! That means you're looking really forward to this I trust? (somebody yells no!) well fine then I'm not writing anymore goodday!
Oh never mind I'm sure you want to read this story…or you wouldn't be here…so let's begin (pardon any spelling errors)
September 1st had come, and Harry, Ron and Hermione were about to board the Hogwarts express. As predicted by our good friends on mugglenet.com, Hermione had become a prefect, and she was wearing her badge with a note of airy pride. This also meant that if she chose she could ride up a special compartment…but she felt better being with Harry and Ron…those 3 had a bond that was unbreakable…and little did they know that this year that bond would be stretched to the max this year.
As Harry Ron and Hermione settled down in the compartment Hermione noticed that the door wasn't shutting quite properly. Thus she pulled out her wand "Reparo!"
The door was good as new.
During the summer Hermione had gotten a little more bold with her magic. Not dangerously bold, but she was learning how to use magic in a different way…for she had a theory it was possible to perform spells without a wand. She needed the spark but she was beginning to get more confident that it could happen. Harry and Ron didn't really care much…they were more enthusiastic about the quidditch season, which of course was back on that year.
All of their thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the newly fixed door. The door then slid open and somebody appeared.
Neither of them had ever seen this student before, but Ron and Hermione noted that she looked so much like Harry she might aswell have been the female version of him. As for Harry, he knew that they looked alike the instant he saw her, but she seemed to be giving off magical vibes…and they were fairly intense…and quite pleasure some. He smiled to himself.
"Hello?" asked Ron.
"Hi," said the new student "My name's Julie…but everyone calls me Jelly…they find Julie too proper. Just wondering if I could sit with you guys…everywhere else is full…particularly one compartment where two boys that look like you (she pointed at Ron) have just managed to turn their friend into a dog using a sweet of theirs."
The trio smiled to themselves…there's never a time when Fred and George aren't doing something funny.
"Yes of course…come in," said Harry.
Jelly settled herself down.
"So, Jelly," said Hermione "Where are you from…you've got an interesting accent."
Jelly smiled. "I'm from Australia. They've got a really nice school in NSW teaching students wizardry from years 7 to 12…not that you can understand that…we can't play quidditch at all though. Which is a pity…it's really enjoyable to watch."
"DO you play?" asked Harry.
"Yes. I like to play Keeper but I'm flexible, I can play anything…it's a passion of mine."
"Me too. I'm the Seeker for the Gryffindor team," replied Harry. "There's a position for Keeper aswell…if you get put into Gryffindor you could try out."
"Cool" said Jelly.
At that moment the lunch trolley came around. Harry bought the usual stash for all of them to share. Harry offered jelly some BBEFB.
"Thanks," said Jelly, but instead of reaching for the packet she waved her hand. The packet flew out of Harry's hand and went straight into Jelly's. Harry was in shock.
"Hey Harry," said Ron. "Can you try and open this?"
"I'll do it," said Jelly. She waved the chocolate frog over to her aswell…and opened it in an instant.
"Catch!" she said throwing the frog over to Ron, who as well was astounded. Hermione had caught the drift.
"How do you do that Jelly?"
"Open a chocolate frog? Well you pull the string and-"
"No the other thing…where the packet flew to your hand."
"Oh that."
There was a pause. You could tell Jelly was now a little uncomfortable. It seemed like something that she did on impulse and was never asked about…or rather asked about a lot and it made her feel insecure.
"Well," she began "When I was born, my father told me that I'd been given a gift, that is these powers. It wasn't known why I was given them, but it means that I'm ale to do things with my hands, rather then with a wand…as well as a few other powers of my own…like my summoning gift…I can make inanimate objects move at will…it's not really the same kind of magic…it's a power…something I haven't learnt…just had."
"A few other powers?" questioned Hermione "Well what other kinds of power are there?"
I can blow things up…and repair them again if I want…I have visions, not that I ever remember them…and I can transport myself from one place to another."
"Like apparating?" asked Ron
"Yes…but remember I was given this, I didn't learn it."
"Can you show us?" asked Harry
"Yes…everything but premonitions…they just come."
Keeping her word Jelly waved her hand. The glass on the door suddenly smashed to smithereens. Before anybody could come and accuse them of wrong doings Jelly waved her hand again and the glass repaired itself.
After that she disappeared from view. The trio were looking for her but then there was a knock on the window. Jelly was there. She smiled and came back in via her mysterious transportation.
Well Hermione was stunned…this was something that even she couldn't do…and it was also the exact art she had been working on during the summer, and hadn't been able to perfect. She asked jelly if it was possible to learn such things.
"Well you've got to have the interlect and the thirst for doing this, but yes it can be done. I can try and teach you…mind that it does mean no wand power."
Hermione nodded, then asked "Do you ever use a wand?"
"No. And I don't because it's my belief that the blood of a witch or wizard is much more powerful then parts of magical creatures…because we are magical creatures too…we possess the inner power, and I like to bring the power out in my magic."
The rest of the train ride went without much huge adventure, but the trio, especially Harry, were transfixed. They had no idea that something like this was possible…and Harry was especially mystified because only he was feeling the vibes that Jelly gave. It was as though magic was penetrating, out of her and going into Harry. It made him feel like doing something amazing. He wondered why it was only him that felt it. He would have to find that out.
When they arrived at Hogwarts Harry Ron and Hermione found their seats while Jelly went off to find Professor McGonagall, for she had to be sorted along with the first years. The trio were eagerly waiting. It would be interesting finding out what house she was in.
After the first years and Jelly had filed in Professor Dumbledore stood. "Welcome everyone, and especially first years, to a new year at Hogwarts. Everyone please remember that the forest is out of bounds to everyone, as well as the village of Hogsmeade to all below third year. And also I'd like to announce a new student in the 5th year who has come to join us from Australia. This is Julie Harriet. I hope that you all make her feel welcome at Hogwarts, as well as the first years.
There was a pause
"Well then," said Dumbledore "With that said let's begin."
"Julie…please come forth first for the sorting." Said Professor McGonagall.
Jelly stepped up, looking very nervous. She sat down on the stool and jumped slightly when that hat was put on her head.
"Hmmm…interesting…" said the hat. Harry was looking at Jelly intensely. She was frightened beyond frightened. She looked at Slytherins table and shivered, which Harry found odd…Jelly hadn't been told about Slytherins evilness.
"…plenty of courage…a thirst to prove yourself…" continued the hat. Wait a minute! Thought Harry…that's exactly what the hat said to me…why is it repeating itself to Jelly? How odd.
"…Better be…GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindors cheered full heartedly…especially the trio. When jelly sat down the first years began the regular sorting.
When the feast began Harry looked at Jelly oddly. He still couldn't get his thoughts out of his head. Jelly noticed this, and looked at Harry.
"What is it Harry?"
"Well…when you were being sorted, you looked at the Slytherin table over there and shivered…why is that?"
"They're evil…I can sense it…I did not want to be in a house like that."
Harry was amazed…it was possible to sense evilness? Mind you, he thought, Jelly was no ordinary witch. Harry was about to ask about the Hats speech, but stopped himself. Jelly wouldn't know that. H figured that he and Jelly were just very alike in some ways…but it was weird…she seemed almost too alike. Harry wasn't able to think much…he was hungry and food was calling.
That night the trio showed Jelly her dormitory…and saw with great relief an extra bed had been put into the girls dormitories…and her stuff had been taken up. Pretty soon all four of them were asleep.
Harry had a dream though. He was alone in the forest and a hooded figure was there watching over him. Harry wondered who it was…and the figure removed its hood…was it really…"
Harry woke up. What was that? He fell asleep and forgot about it…but he'd been getting these premonitions for ever now…especially since Lord Voldemort had returned…but what was this? That person shouldn't have been under that hood…what did it mean?
Wow this is peculiar…I haven't really talked to anyone for about…hmmm…30 minutes or so…because I felt I might as well begin the story so that you can get all the more edgy when I decide that's enough for today…heeheeheeheehee!!!!!
