The Soldiers Descendent at Hogwarts
By Snowdancer119
Chapter 1
Waking up one morning something felt different being me. It was as if I knew that something was going to happen that day. Throwing on my running outfit I walked out my front door and ran. I ran a lot. Ever since I was little, running around my block every morning was something that always made me happy. After running I got ready for school and by 7:00 I was back outside walking to school.
-At School-
RING! "Oh my god I cannot believe that you got and A+ on that test! How do you do it! It's like you have a super human ability!" If only she knew.
"You have totally seen me fail a test. I failed a spelling test in the 5th grade because I misspelled some state capitols!" I argued as my best friend, Sierra Summers, and I continued our ongoing argument about perfect grades. We never considered them real fights we joked and teased each other like sisters.
"Are you ready for PE?" She asked already knowing the answer for this was a question we asked daily.
"Who could ever be ready for the torture that so called 'educators' call physical education? No normal person could ever survive a round of the pain delivered by the amount of (gulp) running we do!" I did my best to be dramatic, as always.
"So that would explain why you like PE! You are not normal!" We laughed and I playfully shoved her. A good 10 minutes later we were sitting in the gym waiting for our teacher to finish taking attendance so we could get down to the field and continue our soccer unit. Something Sierra was always excited for. That is when the voice of my principle came on over the loud speaker.
"Autumn Carter please report to the office imeadietly." At first I was surprised. Usually if the principal wanted someone he sent a call slip, the loud speaker was only for emergencies. Then I was scared. What if something had happed to my grandmother? Then I became aware of all the people looking at me. I was embarrassed. After a reassuring look from Sierra I stood and began to walk towards the office.
Once there I found my godfather, Tony Stark, waiting for me. Not answering questions he drove me home only telling me that my grandmother would tell me when I was home. Once I arrived I found my grandma sitting on the couch looking through a photo album. "Oh, Autumn darling." She said in her British accent while gesturing for me to sit next to her. Showing me a picture of my forever lost grandfather she gave me the book.
"You remind me so much of him. He was smart, athletic, with blonde hair, blue eyes. Just like you. You look more like him then your mother did me." A sad smile rested on her face as she stared off into the distance. "Now to get back on topic, you received a letter today, a very important letter." She handed me a yellowed piece of paper that looked older than grandma herself. Ripping through the wax seal (really who does wax seals anymore?) I pulled out a piece of paper that resembles the envelope. On this piece of paper was a letter stating that I had been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What. The. Hell.
-TIME JUMP-
Half an hour later I was still in shock but calmer. I had many questions but one stuck out more than others. "Why I am just getting this now. It says that the school year started in September it's the begging of October." Tony said that the letter got lost on its way over and that I was leaving 1st thing in the morning. I was shocked and in denial. I ran to my room screaming then slamming the door and locking it. Falling on to my bed I picked up the photo album which I had accidentally taken. Flipping through pictures I saw my grandmothers past stare back at me in black and white. What would he do? Grandfather that is. I suppose he would go to the freaky witch school and face whatever came at him. So living up to my family name I began to pack.
