Chapter 1

Now, this is the first chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter world or the people that you know from the books. However, I do own Angela Estane and her story.

A/N: From now on, I will not mention the disclaimer again, because it is boring and you all get the picture. :P

Also, my mother tongue is not English, so excuse me for any inconvenience you might experience as far as the language is concerned.

Moreover, this is my first fan fic, so excuse me for my inexperience as well.

Finally, there might be some confusion between Angela Estane and Angelina Johnson, so keep in mind that I am only talking about ANGELA ESTANE, the OC character.

Thanks to my beta Lyratearsx!! You're wonderful!

It is not fluffy at all, but be patient. I needed to get started with the story with something easy for me to write, that is the departure in Platform 9 and ¾. Cliché, I know. :P Enjoy!

"OK, mum…Yes, I will be careful…And yes I'll be doing my homework every day…Yes, I will make sure that I send letters every week… Don't worry." Angela Estane said in an exasperated voice, while rolling her chocolate brown eyes.

Her mother, Arianna, had been reminding her of the things that she shouldn't forget while attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Her father, Rodolfo, a tall and handsome man, shot an apologetic look in her direction and Angela returned it with a nervous one. However, her mother failed to notice these, as she was rambling about what her daughter had to do in school.

Finally, Angela shook her head and raised her voice. "Mum, you're rambling! Be serious! I'm 16 and I'm doing this for the sixth time; I'm used to it! Plus, you're embarrassing me!" she said, her brows furrowed.

In return, her mum answered in a bossy tone "Angelina Juliet Estane!"

This made Angela stand still; her mother never called her by her full name, unless she was annoyed.

"You will never talk to your mother like that! You will pay attention to what I'm saying whether you like it or not!"

After she said this, she received a cold glare from her daughter, who crossed her arms in front of her and tapped her foot on the stony ground of the station.

Merlin! she thought. Mum can be so overprotective sometimes!

Then her father looked into his daughter's eyes, which were identical to his, and he said, "Angela, your mother is right, you shouldn't be rude to her."

With this, Angela was ready to object, but her father raised his hand in order to stop her and turned to his wife.

"And you, darling, shouldn't be so overprotective! Let her breathe sometimes, alright?"

Both women looked at him, quite pleased, and then smiled at each other.

"Now-" the man continued, "where in Merlin's beard is your brother, Angela? He said he would take the day off today! I don't see him anywhere, though."

Angela shook her head and said, "I don't know. He should be here by now! Maybe he got…delayed."

After she said this, all three of them shared an amused look. They knew that 'delayed' meant that his girlfriend, Jessica, kept him… busy.

However, it wasn't long before Luciano showed up with red cheeks.

"Speak of the devil!" Angela exclaimed and gave him a warm hug, which her brother returned with a kiss on her cheek. He then gave their mother a hug while their father patted him on the back.

"Good to see you Luciano, boy…" said Rodolfo.

"Yeah, it's good to see you too. I'm sorry that I'm late. I got sort of…delayed," Luciano answered, scratching the back of his head.

The rest of them couldn't help but chuckle.

Angela put her hands in her pockets and examined the station. It hadn't changed in the slightest. The train was waiting impatiently for the students who would soon be heading to Hogwarts. She could see parents bidding their children goodbye and some older students kissing in the corners. Indeed, it hadn't changed at all!

Her eyes fell on a small crowd of people. Most had bright red hair, but there was also a girl with bushy hair, a boy with messy black hair, a woman with pink hair and some others. That would be the Weasley family with the famous Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. The rest of the people, though, she didn't recognize. She could also see the mischievous twins of the family, laughing at each other while planning another prank, undoubtedly. She snorted at this; she had never understood what could be fun about playing jokes on others and sometimes putting them in danger!

She quickly waved these thoughts off her head, as it was time for departure. Her mum nearly cried as Angela hugged her.

"Come on, mum! I will be alright, I promise!" said Angela, trying to calm her down, but to no avail.

Then, she turned to her father and hugged him too.

"Make sure you study hard this year-" he began, but Angela interrupted him.

"Dad, you know I will…"

"I know, I know! I'm just saying…Oh! And be careful of those males, Angie. You have no idea what they are capable of!" he teased and winked at her, gaining another rolling of Angela's eyes.

Finally, she turned to Luciano and hugged him tightly. "I'm going to miss you," she said simply, and they shared a warm smile.

However, he whispered in her ear when their parents were not looking, "if and only IF, your mind wanders on a guy, then he'd better be worth it. If he isn't, he'll pay!"

His words made Angela feel even more embarrassed, since they had all made a big deal of the 'romance thing' so she just said, "oh shut it…"

She headed towards the train, and when she was on it and it started to move, she ran towards a window and waved her family until they were too far behind and she could barely recognize them.

A/N: As I mentioned above, this is my first fan fic, so surprisingly, I would LOVE constructive criticism! Be cruel, don't be afraid! But keep it mild. Read & Review!

In Chapter 2 there is the train ride and the introduction of some new characters as well as the Sorting and the Feast. Please, be patient; in Chapter 3 Angela and Fred meet each other for the first time.

Sorry for the rambling, but I'm just too excited. I'll shut up now.
