Soul Mates
Chapter One: Memory.
((Mia's POV))
I sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. This would be my seventh year, and my friends didn't know the secret that I had been carrying since I was four. I smiled as I remembered when I had first received my Hogwarts letter:
((Mia's Memory))
I sat down at my kitchen table, eating the breakfast I had made, containing two fried eggs, two pieces of toast, some bacon and sausages. When I finished I carried my dishes to the sink. As I looked out the window I saw something flying towards me. It was an owl. The owl was carrying a letter.
I opened up the letter to see this:

WHAT! I'm a witch? I thought I was a squib. That's so cool. Wait, I don't have any money. How am I going to buy all my supplies? I'll beg Dad.
I wrote out my reply that said I was coming and then sent it off.
This will be one hell of a year! I thought as I went screaming in happiness to my father's room where he congratulated me and then went back to sleep. I chuckled and then went outside.
As soon as Tom let me through to Diagon Alley, I looked at my list and saw that I needed robes.
Where to go? Where to go? Oh…UGH! I thought as somebody walked into me and we went sprawling to the ground.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." The red-head said.
"That's alright, I was kinda just standing there anyway. Can you help me find a place for robes?" I asked.
"That's what I was trying to find. But first I have to exchange some of my money."
"I need money." We laughed and began walking towards the big white bank.
As we walked up the stairs I pointed out a poem to her.
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
"That's so cool!" I replied, the poem going over and over in my head. "Oh, by the way my name's Andromeda Christenson. But call me Andy."
"My name's Lily Evans. It's nice to have someone I know in first year."
I nodded my agreement and we walked up to the first goblin we saw.
"Excuse me, I need to exchange my money for wizard money." Lily said.
He took the money and gave her the amount for Wizard money.
"I need to visit my vault." I said as I gave him the key. We rode up there, me screaming in happiness as Lily laughed at me. I got some money and then we left.
"Thank you so much! Have a nice day!" I said to the Goblin. He returned the farewell, albeit surprised, and we walked out of there. As we left we passed a rather green wizard and I grinned.
"So, where to next?" Lily asked.
"Um...robes. But where do we find those?" I asked.
"Haven't you ever been here before?" When I shook my head no she said "Should we try Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions? They may have what we need."
"Sure," We walked in and a lady came over and said "Hogwarts?" we nodded and then she started to fix us with robes.
There was a boy across us that had sandy brown hair and kind brown eyes, though he looked a little tired, with a haggard look to him.
"Are you muggleborn?" I shook my head.
"Um…I don't know what that means, but my parents aren't magical." Lily replied.
"Muggle's are non-magical people. Muggleborn's are people who are born with non-magical parents, but are magical. Squib's are people with no magic, and are born to magical parents. By the way my name's Remus Lupin."
"Well, my name's Lily Evans and this is Andromeda Christenson. But she likes to be called Andy."
"Does she talk?" He asked curiously.
"Yes, I guess she's shy. Andy what's wrong?" Lily asked.
I just shrugged and bought my clothes. Next on the list were wands. Since Remus knew where everything was he was going to be our 'tour guide'.
We were just going into Olivander's when a boy with messy black hair and hazel eyes came up and tried to hide behind me.
"Hide me!" he said quickly and I stepped in front of him so that no one could see him. Remus rolled his eyes as a soaking purple girl came screaming up the road.
"James Harold Potter get your ass over here and change me back!" She screamed. She looked at us and asked "Have you seen a boy with messy black hair come through here?" we shook our heads and she followed us in to Olivander's. James had managed to get away without her seeing.
When we got our wands we walked back out and I waved my wand and she turned back to normal.
"How'd you know how to do that?" Lily asked.
I just shrugged. I didn't want to talk in front of Remus, he smelt a little funny to me. "Oh, my name's Lily Evans and this is Andromeda Christenson, but she likes to be called Andy."
"The name's Ashi Potter. James is my twin brother. Are…Hey! Remus have you seen Sirius anywhere?" She asked. When Remus shook his head she bid us farewell and ran off.
After we had gotten all our stuff Lily and Remus said goodbye and left with their parents.
Since today was August 31, I was going to spend the night in the Leaky Cauldron with dad. I bought a room and asked Tom to make sure I was awake in time for the train tomorrow. Then I climbed into bed and read two of my school books, before I fell asleep.
