Hi everyone this is my first posted FF although its my third written one and my second Harry Potter one…

Disclaimer: I own nothing that is familiar and definitely not Harry Potter the very amazing JK Rowling owns that or I would be bathing in money… also this is an alternate reality/universe story I add characters when I feel like it I own Ann Marie Slufootly (Annie) and most of her immediate family… as well as the plot: read on to find out more!

Chapter 1 Boardskating George Weasley POV

What's she doing here! My heart was beating 10 times faster than usual.

"Hey George," she gave me a half-hearted smile. Gosh I'm about to admit it… I want her. This is so wrong, she's my friend, my best friend, and she has a boyfriend.

"Still dating that American prat?" I asked her jokingly.

She gave me a full on look of fury, "Not for much long. I can't stand him anymore. Never answering my e-mails, my phone calls, my owls, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"

Why would this guy ignore her? She was gorgeous. Then again a lot of guys aren't too into the gothic looking girls.

I think he doesn't like me because I'm Goth. I'm not going to change for him either, he's not even around enough to notice or care about what I look like," she continued looking furious but rather hurt.

When I first met her she was well, I wouldn't say normal but not Goth or even all that punk. She was almost 13 and she had a thing for boys clothes. I was 14 and I thought this was world's most peculiar thing. She was American but she moved into the house nearest to us which was 1/2 mile away from The Burrow. Your probably wondering if she's a witch. Well yes indeed she's a witch and she's not half bad either. Her mother didn't want her going to another continient for school which is why she rejected her original Hogwarts acceptance letter. So her mother called in a favor and got her into Hogwarts. Apparently her mother knows Dumbledore, who doesn't these days?

Flashback

The first time I saw her she was donning her boys shorts that were way past her knees and a boys skateboarding shirt. She skated past our house but she stopped to do a double take because she could tell it was a magical home.

Fred and I happened to be outside, planning a prank non the less. She walked up to me and said, " Hi I'm Ann, I just moved here from America. Your wizards aren't you?" We looked at her like how do you know, and she shot us a look that said because I'm a witch.

" Are you a witch?" Fred asked her.

"Yea, I just finished my second year at Salem Academy for Young Witches and Wizards. My mother moved me here and wants me to go to some school that I was accepted into before I went to Salem… oh what was it called… something quite peculiar… HOGWARTS! That's the name!"

" We just finished our third year at Hogwarts. So you must be what 13 right?" I said trying not to blush a violent shade of red. She was strange, but no denying pretty.

"I'll be 13 in a week! I can't wait, finally I'll be a teenager! Anyways what are your names? What do you guys do around here for fun I don't know anyone or anything here. I feel so ridiculously stupid!"

" I'm George, he's Fred, Last name's Weasley. We are your basic average pranksters. Most of the kids here in the British wizarding world follow a quidditch team. Ride brooms, read, and even do muggle things. Like what your doing…er… that's called board skating right?" I was scared, nervous even. I had just met Ann and I found her fascinating.

She started laughing hysterically, " No... No…No, you've got it backwards, it's skate boarding not board skating! Honestly?!?!?" She just kept on laughing while I stood there turning red in the face feeling like a dunderhead. I was entranced by her American accent, boys clothes, and rough appearance. They were utterly enticing to me.

So we became best friends. I watched her go from a short but gawky light brown haired boys clothes wearing almost 13 year old into a still short dark haired curvy punk looking 14 year old. All in a year at Hogwarts she had changed so much. But one thing didn't change our friendship. We were very very close. I began discovering that I had feelings for her. I've loved her since I was 15 years old.

She grew up nicely during her fourth year (second at Hogwarts.) She was constantly denying guys the right to date her. She was like our triplet. Before her 5th year Fred asked her out. She just looked at him and laughed hysterically just like the day we met. Fred didn't know how much I liked her. After that insanely awkward moment she and Fred began to drift. It was always awkward when they were in the same room until the day she told him grow up and get over it. So he did but things were never the same.

So many things happened the summer following her 5th year. We saw her once a week she was always so busy with other things. She went goth on us. It was weird at first I never will get used to her having short hair. But the truth is simple she remained pretty.

End Flashback

So basically I watched her grow up. She was on Christmas break from her 7th year at Hogwarts. She was spending a lot of time with Hermione and Ginny who happened to be her only female friends. We, Fred and I, were back at Hogwarts again as well because Mum would have our heads if we didn't take our N.E.W.Ts
