Harry Potter and the Four Seasons

Chapter One: Winter's POV

The carriage ride to Platform 9 3/4 was a long and tedious ride. My mother whose long silvery hair was blowing into my face, sat next to me discussing the education I would be receiving at my new school, Hogwarts, with my uncle, Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster at Hogwarts. Their long discussions of their old days at Hogwarts gave me no interest of where I would be going. I only thought, why did I have to go to Hogwarts?

My father, who unfortunetly died two winters ago when I was just nine years old, placed me in a pre-education school when I was seven. Since then, I have been taught by various professors, simple level one and two spells mainly, daily spells that would be used in daily life. I was just doing fine at Durmstang. Now I am to go to Hogwarts. My mother forced me to go.I remember her yelling at me...

"Winter Allison Sarah McKnight, you will go to Hogwarts and that's FINAL!"

It was her school, not mine. I wanted to go to my father's school. MY school, Durmstang.

My mother shook me out of my train of thought. "Honey, we're here!" she exclaimed. "We're at Platform 9 3/4! One of the many steps to Hogwarts! Oh, you're going to love it there"

I tried to smile. "Hurray..." I said sadly. I looked outside my window. This is my future and I have to live with it.

"I hope you enjoy your stay at Hogwarts, Winter," my uncle said from across the seat. I nodded as a reply.

He looked over at me and smiled softly, he knew what was going through my mind...

"You know...if you don't like it and you're unhappy, I COULD make some arrangements for you..." he whispered and winked at me while giving my mom a sneaky glance.

"Thank you, uncle," I said to him with awe. He was the only one that knew how I felt.

The carriage pulled to a stop in the drop off zone. The ghostly driver opened the door on my mother's side. She exited with Uncle Albus. I sighed, grabbed my book bag and left. The platform was filled with young witches and wizards loading their things as well as departing form their parents. My uncle summoned one of the train men to load my things onto the train. My mother went to talk to other mothers who were departing from their children.

"Winter," my uncle called. "I hope you have a good train ride. I'll see you at the school"

"Goodbye," I said. I waved a little to him hoisting my book bag onto my shoulder. He left me, disappearing into the crowed. My mother saw him leave and walked up to me.

"Winnie," she said, calling me by my pet name, "I really do wish you have a good time at Hogwarts like I did. I'll miss you and I know you'll miss me too." She pulled out a small box from her purse. "This is a special locket that will protect you wherever you go. A friend of mine gave it to me but you seem to need it now more than ever." she handed me the box and then looked at me, her face crumbling as the conductor started his final calls.

I opened the box to find a heart shaped silver locket. "Oh, thank you, mommy!" I said. "I'll miss you, so much." I hugged her goodbye and waved as she departed. I made my way near the walls of the platform, not ready to enter the train. I had plenty of time before the train left so I decided to examine the locket.

Two snakes were etched into a heart. Who could have given this to mother if not father?

...but...wait... Father's family crest are the white ravens... Who could have the crest of the snakes? I opened the locket to find a picture of my mother and father, their smiling faces looking at each other and no one else...

I closed the locket and looked down, why was it that good people had to leave this earth? I sighed and remained in deep thought...until I was given a big push from behind causing me to fall forward and hit my shoulder against a stone column.

"Hey!" a boy cried. I turned around to see my attacker. It was a boy around my height with platinum blonde hair and gray eyes. He looked at me, his eyes changing from something akin to scorn to surprise and concern. "Um, sorry"

I stood up straight and rubbed my bruised arm. "It's okay"

"But I hurt you," he said looking at me with concern.

"I'm fine, really," I responded clutching the locket tightly.

"I'm Draco Malfoy," he introduced himself, "I just came through the portal. I didn't know you were standing there"

I smiled. "It's okay, I understand. I'm Winter McKnight," I greeted. I pocketed my new locket and grabbed my bag off the floor.

Draco smiled. "Hey, um , do you want to sit with me in the train?" he asked.

I nodded and gave him a smile. "Sure." We became friends then and there. My first friend at Hogwarts...

Later on, as Draco and I headed for the fourth cart of the train I tried to start a conversation with him to get to know my new friend, but the loudness of the crowd made my voice disappear.

"What!?" Draco yelled.

"Never mind!" I yelled back.

"What?!"

"Never mind!" I yelled back even louder.

He grabbed my hand so we would not get separated and I gasped...I think the rug on the cart gave me a static jolt.

We entered the train and into an empty compartment. He sat next to the window putting his pack beside him while I sat across from him doing the same.

Draco started to talk. "So tell me about yourself, Winter"

We started talking and suddenly the door opened...

Okay, so to explain, there's four main Characters, i BET u can guess their names already...if not, well then ur a bloody twit. Each chapter will be in a different POV, enjoy! Oh and for chapter five, i'll be adding Character Profiles on each of the main characters...that way u'll be exposed to each character already, and u'll be able to understand it...i'd just saying this ahead of time...

OH! And to any that think i might be copying this fic from winter44, I'm not, she's Winter McKnight in this story and I'm Summer Fares...it's a collaboration, so don't go reporting me for plagerism, if you want, send Winter44 a personal message and ask her, Kay? Plus if you've read my other stories u know that i hate plagerism...ugh, bloody morons who do that! GOD!...Okay, now i'm bored...byes!
