Authors Notes
This is an idea that I have had in my head for ages now, so I thought I'd write it. This story focuses on an OC but characters such as the Golden Trio will still feature as main characters. I took some inspiration from Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson" series, but this is not a direct crossover. This is my first fan fiction so please review with any comments, criticisms and ideas. Thanks and enjoy! - Rainbow of Darkness
Typically, people find hikes through mountains at any time difficult and tedious. Make it a rainy night and most people would flat out refuse. Or wait for day at least. And yet, in the higher reaches of Scotland, a young teen was at complete ease in these conditions. He enjoyed the feeling of the rain falling on the long hair that he left hanging loose by his shoulders, of the mud splashing up from the ground as his boots hit the floor, of the wind picking up the tails of his coat. As he turned a corner on the narrow, winding path he stopped dead in his tracks whilst one of his slender eyebrows rose at the sight of his destination. He had heard it described and yet the castle, with it's turrets and towers reaching to the grey clouds lying above, still awed him. Hearing the whistle of a train coming into station, he continued on his way to Hogwarts.
As he reached the huge doors, the boy raised his hand to knock but just before skin met wood the doors swung open as if the castle itself recognized his purpose there and was accepting him. As he stepped into the hallway he saw yet another pair of great oak doors. "They couldn't have been more extravagant if they tried." the teen muttered as he dried himself with a wave of his hand. He coked his head slightly and turn his body around and examined a cat that had sat down cleaning itself. He then spoke clearly with a slight American twang "I know not what type of magic you have used to take this admittedly beautiful form but I would kindly ask you to turn back to your human body." A few moments later an elderly woman stood before the boy, a look of surprise plastered on her face. "Young man, I have to say that that is the first time in my many years at this school that someone has ever done that. However, you do not look like a first year and I haven't ever seen you before so what are you doing here?" she said in strong Scottish brogue. "Ah, I assure you that I have been in contact with Professor Dumbledore and that he is expecting me. If you like, you can go and ask him." the boy replied. "Very well, stay here whilst I do so. What is your name young man?"
"Kylan Dagar ma'am."
The Scottish woman nodded slightly and went through the doors. The boy watched her go and stood waiting to make his entrance into a new world.
