Chapter One:
The storm that night was strong enough to scare the creatures in the Forbidden Forest that night, as they fled in terror, hiding under rocks, holes and inside tree's.
Hagrid was fast sleep in front of his small fireplace. Fang laid at his feet sleep to, ignoring the storm outside that could tear their small cabin apart if it wasn't protected by magic.
Inside the Hogwarts castle, teachers already inside of it, were finishing up some few things before the students arrived the following morning for another new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Dumbledore was among those teachers but he had finish his duties, now he only sat on his desk and starred out the window, into the storm. Fawkes on the arm of his chair fast sleep while he was petted on the back by his owner.
Outside one person stood in that storm. On the highest hill across the Great Lake, starring at the Hogwarts School.
A girl no older than sixteen.
Her robe tight against her body as the storm almost glued it to her and soaked it with the rain. Only thing that was not disturbed was her hood, covering her face, and the bag inside her robe that held her pet imp.
A creature the size of a baseball and the shape of rice ball. White as Snow with bright blue eyes and a long shiny blue tail with a sharp arrow end.
"Tomorrow at last. Is it not excited, Drake?" whisper the girl to her pet, who was fast sleep in his bag, "Finally attending this great school and be close to actual humans... well those guys where human to but they might as well not, considering what they do and who they work for..." a shiver went up her spine but she shook it off. A bright smile came to her lips, "The storm is a good sign of a bright and exciting year for us and everyone else around them... just hope it involves good not evil... come on, lets go back, you must be hungry, I know I'm famished"
A low 'pop' sound was made and the girl vanished from the spot leaving no trace of ever being there.

"And then you should have been there to see Fleur slip on one of Fred and George new inventions. Ginny would not stop laughing, it was the most hilarious things you could ever witness. She refused to walk for the next couple of days and just hovered with a spell or rode Bill's broom around the house" said Ron letting out a laugh before biting a chocolate frogs head off, as he took a look at the card, "Come on... why do they make so many of Dumbledore..."
"Because he is one of the best wizards of our time and they do have to update the card here and there I'm sure" said Hermione not looking up from her new copy of Advanced Rune Translation, "I'm sure you had other things more fun that watching and re telling the story how Fleur fell on her behind... maybe ask Harry how his summer was. That seems much better than your horrible and cruel stories Ronald"
"But their not horrible and cruel, they might be for Fleur but not to us, and I'm sure Harry doesn't want to talk and remember his exciting summer with the Dursleys since Dumbledore did not allow him to stay with us for the rest of the summer like you did Hermione, am I right Harry? ... Harry?"
Harry was not paying attention to them, he was starring out their compartment window, to the land and forest they past on their way to another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It took around five minutes before Harry broke from his concentration outside the window to pay attention to Ron, who was no defending him self against Hermione, "Will you quiet down already, if he didn't answer the first two hundred times, Ronald, it means he wants some time alone in his corner, and I am trying to read."
"It's alright Hermione... sorry Ron, I was just thinking... you know Sirius and all" said Harry taking a deep breath, "He left me his house and that stupid elf... I can't let him go because he will run to Voldemort and the deatheaters, but I don't want to keep him... he lied and that lie caused Sirius his life..."
The compartment was silent for the next couple of minutes till the crowed outside broke the silence.
"What on Merlin's beard is going out there... why is everyone making such a racket..." said Hermione closing her book and heading outside, as Ron took another bite from his chocolate frog before Hermione pulled him by the neck of his robe, "Your a prefect too, so come on"
Harry watched from inside their compartment as Hermione and Ron tried to go through the crowded hallway filled with boys, the girls seemed to be hiding inside their compartments, looking out at the crowd of boys outside.
"Alright... what is going on... here" the sentence was cut short when Ron got a look at what had caused all the boys to go crazy, and he couldn't help but stare at the reason.
The girl smiled at everyone as she tried to get out of the circle around her, "It's really nice of all of you to offer me a seat in your compartments but I was just looking for one place to sit... and... well... I wish I could make you all happy and sit with you but... I'm..." she let out a sigh of relief when Hermione reached her, and took her hand, ""Sitting with me... come along..."
"Darkia" the girl said in a relief tone, as she followed Hermione through the crowd, "Yes Darkia. Come on, everyone else back to your compartments before I take all of your names and take points the second we get to the school" with that she also dragged the almost drooling now eager Ron with her as the boys glared and return to their compartments.
"Wow... that has never happen before... but then again, I've never been alone and in such a small place with so many people, thank you for saving me from that..."
"Hermione Granger. And your welcome. Boys honestly... their horrible sometimes... this drooling git is Ronald Weasley"
"Call me Ron... or anything you want really" he blushed when Darkia let out a giggle and shook their hands.
"I'm Darkia, a pleasure and thank you very much, I will have to find someway to repay... you..." her words got lost when she turn to look at Harry, who was back to starring out their compartment window.
"That's Harry Potter, but you probably already know of him" said Hermione as she went back to her book but soon drop it when Darkia spoke, "No, actually I don't... Hi I'm Darkia" she held out her hand to him and caught his attention as he gently shook it, "Harry... and you haven't heard of me? Really?"
"Yes. Are you the son of someone important. Family to the Minister of something"
"You got to be kidding us. Pulling a leg or something. You don't know who Harry Potter is? Are you a muggle or something?" said Ron in pure shock, moving closer to her, as if she was some sort of strange creature.
"No. I'm pure blood and sorry? I've been in America most of my life, I might not show it because of my accent but I was. And home schooled as well so I'm sorry if I don't know of you"
Harry couldn't help but smile and stare at her, "It's quite alright... I'm surprise that you don't know who I am but I am very happy with that too because I am tired of people coming up to me and saying it's the boy who lived and he's odd, that scar and just never treated as a normal wizard really"
"The boy who lived? Through what? A storm, a curse? I would love to know you seem interesting... oh I'm sorry shouldn't have said that..." said Darkia making them both blushed and Hermione and Ron staring at them in disbelief.
"The boy who lived... someone tried to kill me with the killing curse but it back fired on them, that's where I got this lightning shape scar... right there see..." he lifted his bangs and leaned towards her so she could have a clear view.
Her bright blue eyes widen and stared, "That's a very unusual scar. I'm sure it draws a lot of attention. But why would someone want to kill you"
"Because they thought I would come in their way when I grew up... I was one when he came to try to kill me and killed my parents"
"Oh I'm so sorry to hear that... I know the feeling, I never really knew my parents, dad was always gone because of work and mom died when I was born... not the same way as you but still, grew up with out parents. That's why my guardian raised me but he had to leave a lot to go to work and only see him during the summer. My maids and butlers take care of me"
"Well I was left at my uncle and aunt's door step, they didn't like me, since I'm a wizard. Their muggles, horrible most if not all the time" they broke eye contact when Hermione spoke, "Sorry to interrupt you guys but Ron and I have to go to the prefect's compartment for a brief on what we're to do this year... we'll be back later" with that she grab Ron's hand and dragged him out of the compartment.
"Their your friends?" asked Darkia turning back to Harry as she sat across from him, "Yeah, best friends. Hermione is muggle born but she could fool anyone into believing she's a pure blood or something, she's the smartest witch of our year since first year. We're going to our sixth year now. And Ron's pure blood, their both Gryffindor prefects. He has a younger sister, Ginny and five older brothers"
"Five older brothers? Oh my"
"Yeah it's Bill, he's twenty eight, he works for Gringots and he's engaged to Fleur. Then Charley, he's twenty six, and works with Dragons. Percy is twenty two, he works in the ministry of magic as the assistant of the Minister him self. Then the twins, Fred and George, their nineteen, they have their own Joke shop and Ron, then Ginny that's fifteen right now"
"That's amazing, their parents must be very proud of them I'm sure. I would love to have, not as much, siblings. I'm an only child"
"Me too... well enough about me what about you?"
"Well not really a lot to say that's as interesting as yours... why are you famous because some wizard tried to kill you when you where one... well aside that you survive that Killing curse, you have to be the first person ever to do it... I mean it's not called the killing curse for nothing..."
The trains horn was heard as they went under a bridge and Harry continued his conversation with Darkia all the way to Hogwarts.
