Chapter One

Its quiet, but not silent. I can hear the train rolling down the tracks. I'm by myself, this whole train to no one but me. Seems like a waste of resources to me, but of course this train runs on magic not "resources" so like it matters if they waste a whole train ride on me. Well ain't I special. I can feel the train slowing down, we must be there. Great no turning back now. I'm here.

A Big Oaf is waiting for me on the platform. "Yer th' transfer?" He says with a big goofy grin. Oh he looks friendly, awesome. I just nod. "Alrigh I'm Hagrid, yer can just come wif meh." So I follow him. What else do I do? I cant very well stay here now can I? He leads me up a trail. I sling my backpack over my shoulder and carry my duffle bag in my left hand. I check my ipod's battery, fully charged and put an ear piece in one ear, and begin following him. We come up to a carriage pulled by what looks like a Pegasus wit no flesh. Sweetness, that's not creepy looking at all. I climb in and the Oaf cracks a joke. I'm not paying him much attention so I give him a small smile to make him feel better about himself.

After a while my ipod starts acting up, I look at my phone to check the time and its starting to wig out too. This school probably has the same enchantments on it like my old school. A barrier to keep things out, such as electronics. I mutter a few incantations under my breath and they're back to normal. The Oaf just looks oddly at me. The rest of this shortly long trip is in silence, except for my music. We come up to a greatly enormous castle. How magical, Barf. The carriage stops in front of two large oak doors, the Oaf steps out, I shortly follow.

Its lightly raining now. I love the rain. I just stand there for a few seconds, letting it hit my face, stealing some time for me. I come back down to Earth and to reality. I follow Oaf Haggard, I think that's his name, I'll just stick to calling him Oaf, through the big oak front doors. I follow him trough the hallways, a left here a right there. I swear we made a complete circle twice. then we where in front of a gargoyle. "Lemon drops" He says. This guy's on crack. The gargoyle moves out of the way and behind it is a staircase. "Well I'll leave yer here" I look at him in slight shock and just nod and turn to climb the staircase. I take one step and it starts moving on its own. I'm at the top in no time and there's some really old guy sitting in a chair back turned to me, talking to an old wizard's hat that's sitting on a three legged stool. This guy's a wack job, why the hell did I agree to this?

"Welcome." I stare at the hat. I swear that thing just spoke to me. The old guy turns around and smiles. "Yes, welcome. Come in, come in. Have a seat." He gestures to the stool. I walk over and pick the dirty old hat up and sit down facing the old guy. "I am Professor Dumbledore. Headmaster of Hogwarts. I have heard many great things about you, but the name seems to change with every story. Please tell me about yourself" I just look at him for a second, study his face. Blue eyes behind half-moon glasses, long white beard. His smile is a curious smile. Like he's wondering what I'm gonna say, or like he can read my mind. Then I see something in his eyes. Wisdom, knowledge. He knows everything about me, he just wants to hear it from me. "Not much to say. For starters my name is Nani, I come from Arizona, United States of Ameri…." He interrupts me "Nani, what is your last name?" He knows it, but I wont give him that satisfaction. "Don't have one." He just smiles. "Sorry Sir but," he interrupts me again. God I hate it when people interrupt me. "Professor Dumbledore, or Professor." I just look at him with a "you seriously just did that" look. "Uh right, sorry, Listen its been a long day and I'm tired from all the traveling can we just get to the showing me my room?" He just smiles at me. This man is starting to get on my nerves. "First we need to sort you" Sort me? "Into your house. Thus the ratty old wizards hat." I look down at the hat in my hands. It smiles up at me. Alright I declare this place creepy. "Put it on your head, it shouldn't take long." I put it on my head and the hat starts talking. Oh god now I'm going crazy. "Interesting, very interesting. You have potential to become great. Your ambition is that of Slytherin and your cunning, Though your hard working ethics would impress Hufflepuff and your loyalty. Smart like Ravenclaw, witty, but your as courageous and Gryffindor himself, noble. Where to put you? Yet I see something here that says you do not belong. Never have I seen such a thing in all my years. Such power, such potential. I cannot chose just one place." Seriously I've been sitting here for hours. Just pick already. "Alright i have decided NIETHER HOUSE OR ALL." and then it was silent. Great it just copped out and didn't make a choice at all. I don't belong here. It said so its self. All the old guy does is just stare off into space. Did he even hear the stupid hat?

"Uh... Excuse me. sir?" He blinked as if to come out of a trance. He looks at me with no smile as if he forgot i was there. "Interesting." Yeah interesting that i just wasting a whole day to get here and be told i don't belong. What an interestingly great day this has become. "Come ill show u to your rooms. I shall introduce you to your Head of Houses tomorrow." Rooms? So that means I'm staying? And I'll have more than one room. Maybe I'll like this place after all.

He took me to all four of the Houses. That took another 3 hours or so, and made me more exausted than before. The last house was Ravenclaw I think. I used my special "master key" password for all the portraits. "America" and climb in. I'm greeted by a nice cozy fire. Dumbledore calls in after me "Come back to my office tomorrow after breakfast. If you get lost, just ask directions. I'm sure one of the professors will help." I go and sit on a couch closest to the fire and close my eyes for a second. Next thing I know I'm awoken by a bunch of people making a lot of noise, And a group of girls giggling.

I grab my phone and turn it on. Full battery still great, but my ipod is dead. I'll charge it later. my phone is saying 6:16 God way to early. Ok its not that early but mind you I only got like three hours of sleep. I look up to see the group of girls still giggling and looking at me. I notice one of them trying to tell the other girls to leave me alone and is about to walk up to me. I quickly get up and leave. I'm walking down the hallway, I remembered I didn't shower or clean up at all. Waving a hand in front of me I think clean. Suddenly I'm wearing clean clothes, hair is pulled back and I'm looking so fresh and so clean. Love it. Now which way to go. I put my hands in my lucky leather jacket and felt a paper. What the fuck. Those girls probably shoved it in my pocket. I take it out and look at it. MAURADER'S MAP is written over the top of it. Its a map of the castle. An interactive map. I find the foot prints that have my name next to and notice I'm going in the right direction.

After about 10 min of walking the hallways become filled with students. Many of the girls keep looking at me. I know what they're thinking, oh what a cute boy, blah blah blah, wait till they find out. I decided I didn't feel like being gawked at and saw that I was going in the direction of the Library anyways so I'll just go there. I look up finally to see what sort of people are going to this crack pot school. I noticed their clothes, they're wearing uniforms. Nobody told me about uniforms. I check out what the girls wear. Every single one of them is wearing skirts. Hmmm, decision made.

I finally get to the Library in what seemed like eternity. Ok 18 min but it felt like forever. I find a book, Hogwarts: A History, and sit down and read. 3 seconds later I'm out like a light.

Hermione

Why do I kiss him? He's so sloppy half the time. Its only when he's horny. Just wait for it, Yep there it is. "Ron stop, Ronald I mean it stop it now" "But Hermione, I'm not even doing anything." I give him a "yeah right" look. "Ok fine, but when are you gonna let me show you how much I love you?" He's grinning his dazzling grin. I cant help but smile back as my heart skips a beat. which brings a twinkle to his eyes. How I have the strength to say no to this boy I do not know. "Ron, I know how much you love me" I lean in to kiss his lips lightly, which drives him crazy. "But still no. Now get your hand out of my shirt Ronald Weasley. He looks down at his hand, fake shock on his face. "Now how did that get there I wonder." "I wonder indeed." I kiss him again and remove his hand, "Now go take a shower. A cold one." "Right well, I'm gonna go take a cold shower and I'll see you in class." and with that he was out the door.

I lay on the couch, staring into space. Thinking. I have the most amazing boyfriend ever. He respects. So what am I waiting for? I don't know . It has to be right. Not just right, perfect.

The perfect moment, the perfect words, the perfect time.

"I saw Ron leave. You forget we were goin to the library?" I blinked and refocused my eyes to see Ginny standing right in front of me waiting to me to answer her question. How long has she been standing there? "Um… of course not." Yes I did. "I just kicked him out so we could go." She gives me that "I know you're lying look" and then grins. It's the same grin Ron just gave me a few minuets ago. Which also makes my heart flips. This has happened a few times before. At first I freaked out , but now I just figured its 'cause Ginny looks so much like Ron, so I don't even give it a second thought. "Well are we going or not?" Ginny says while throwing a pillow at me. She missed, on purpose of course. She's a good chaser there's no way that she would've just missed. "Let's go" I hold out my hand and she helps me up. We walk to the library in silence. Well its not silent to me. You can be the peanut butter to my jelly, You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly. Don't know if I could ever be without you cause boy you complete me. And in time I know that we'll both see that we're all we need. Lala I love this song.

Ginny

While walking down the stairs to the now empty common room to meet Hermione, I run into Ron. He's walking kinda funny, like he's trying to hide himself. I bet my left leg he's on his way to meet up with Padma Patil. "Better hurry and meet up with your fuck buddy before you get blue balls." I say nastily to him as we are passing. Ron only grins and without skipping a beat replies "You're only jealous because I have two girls falling over me and you cant even get mum to kiss you." And just continues on his way. My brother the jackass ladies and gentlemen.

I walk into the common room to Hermione staring at me. My heart skips a beat and for a few seconds I forget how to breathe. Then I realize that she's not staring at me. She's in a daze, staring right through me. I just watch her for a minuet to see if she will realize that im standing right in front of her. Also to see if she'll say something funny while talking to herself. I've caught her doing that a few times.

"I saw Ron leave. You forget we were goin to the library?" She blinks a couple times and realization spreads across her face. Hi, Welcome back to earth. Yeah you didn't realize I was standing right in front of you huh? "Um… of course not." Yeah she did. "I just kicked him out so we could go." Um yeah your lying but it's ok. Your beautiful and that makes up for it. I grin at her. If only I could say those things out loud. I pick up a pillow and ask "Well are we going or not?" and throw the pillow at her. I miss but on purpose of course. I'm really normally a good shot. "Let's go" She says, and hold out her hand. I take it and help her up. On our way to the library we walk in pretty much silence. Hermione must have some stuff on her mind. At the library Hermione was supposed to help me with some essays that weren't due for another three days. Well me being as smart as I am didn't really need her help as much as I had lead on. So poor Hermione is just sitting at my table. Bored it looks like. I'm not really paying her too much attention. I am in the zone and there's no stopping me. Every once in awhile she attempts to make conversation with me and I dnt really hear what she says. I just reply whit the generic "yeah" and "uh huh" every few minuets to let her think that she is not being ignored.

Hermione

I am sooo bored! I don't know why I continue to agree to come and help Ginny. She doesn't need my help, she never does. But she always insists. I make an attempt to talk to Ginny. "Ginny do you need any help?" "yeah yeah thanks." That'll be a no. "Gonna take a break here soon?" Nothing. "Oh Ginny, I want you. Take me now on this table." Without looking up Ginny replies "Yeah Hermione." Fuck it. I'm gonna get a magazine.

At the magazine rack I grab a few that I think I might want to read. A hand crosses my in front of me. I turn to look at who it is and see this really cute boy I have never seen before. He was wearing black Nikes, blue jeans, slightly baggy, and a black shit under a leather jacket. His hair is really long., pulled back into a ponytail. And he has an industrial piercing. Well hello cutie. He takes his magazine and turns and walks away. I follow him wit my eyes and watched him all the way back to his chair. I walk back to my chair, "I think I just saw the new transfer kid. He's kinda cute." Ginny finishes her last sentence and looks up. "I thought the transfer kid was a girl." I just shrug. "Guess not. Look that's him over there." I point out the new guy and Ginny looks at me and grins. "Ooh yeah boy's cute. I think I might go for him." I slap her arm "Shut up, if you don't think he's cute just say so. You don't have to make fun of me" She looked a little hurt. "No seriously though Hermione, she is hot." She? "Whatever" I say and flip through one of the magazines.

I look up and watch the boy. The way he furrow his brow while, studying his parchment. He looks mean and kinda unapproachable, but not at the same time. The way he bites his lip and scratches his head, just total concentration. He leans back in his chair, balancing on the two back legs, then looks up. Our eyes meet for a minuet. I'm caught staring at him and yet I still cant look away. He raises and eyebrow then stands up and leaves before I knew what happened. There was something about the way I felt when he looked at me. Scared? No, I don't know what. But it caught my breathe in my chest and I don't know.

Transfer

I wake up thinking I slept in. checked the time and realized I had an hour left before I should probably find the old man's office again. I get up and walk over to the magazine rack. I gorgeous female was picking out some magazines. I randomly pick a magazine and head back to my table. Flipping through the magazine I notice I picked a crappy boring one. I pulled out the old map and start looking for dumble-something's office.

I can feel her staring at me. I can feel her eyes raping me, she's studying me. After careful concentration I find the old guy's office completely on the opposite side of the map I was looking at. Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna get all sorts of turned around without this map. Oh lucky jacket how much I love you so. I lean back in my chair and relax a little. Then I finally look up at the girl. I cock an eyebrow at her, drop the chair to all four, then left. I'll see her again. I'll make sure of it.

I walk to the guy's office. Its easy with the map, without it I probably would have been lost for weeks. Within minuets I am in front of the same ugly gargoyle as last night. "drop of lemon" nothing happens. Damn it, was I supposed to remember the stupid password? "Lemony droppings?" fuck my life. "Lemon drops" the gargoyle springs to life and moves aside, with the familiar staircase behind it. I take the first step and the stairs start escalading. Dumbledor is sitting at his desk patiently waiting for me when I got to the top. There's a paper and a feather, quill I think, and a bottle of ink. Damn I gotta write.

"I'm giving you a placement test. This is just to see what you have learned and what classes we should put you in." He looks at me with that twinkle in his eyes. Alright bring it on."Is it multiple choice?" He just smiles at me, and with a wave of his wand different objects and animals/creatures appear. Let the test begin I suppose. "First I would like you to identify this creature." I look at the little nasty creature in front of me. "That's a pixie." Too easy. "Mmhm, no I would like you to levitate this brick" I look at him like seriously, what with the easy tasks. I raise my hand in front of the brick lazily and think lift. The old man looked at me with curiosity. And so it went, he told me to do something and I did it no problem. Getting harder the farther we got down the line. I did each task with no problems.

"Now I want you to sit her and answer these questions about Hogwarts history." What the fuck? I don't know jack shit about Hogwarts. I barely got here. First question who were the founders? I know this one. Second question who what the 80th Headmaster? Fuck it just got hard. And so that is how the rest of the test went. Too many blanks and a lot of guesses pulled out of my ass.

After the test I had decided that I needed to talk to Dumbledor about wearing uniforms. "Am I gonna have to wear the skirts?" He look at me and replied "Yes" I thought for a minuet then came back with "Right, I¢m not wearing the uniform." He just smiles "Ok" This guy is easy. "Ok then, so what's next?""I called for someone to come and show you to you next class" just as he finished saying that I hear the stairs moving. In no time the person is at the top. I turn around to look at who will be showing me around. I was the gorgeous female from the library. I smile at her, she shyly looks to the ground and talks to Old man.

I'm definitely gonna like this.
