Hey all, I hope you all like this new story, I'm not sure how often I will be able to update but I have the first few chapters written up. I do not own HP. Not making any money. This is just an exercise for creative porposes only.

My name is Samantha.

Just Samantha.

I never knew my last name but I knew one thing for sure.

I was different. Weird things happened around me when I was younger, and as I had gotten older I had been able to make things happen, things that had saved my life more than once.

When Albus Dumbledore found me running around the New York City streets I had been very skeptical, of him, of what he was saying and about the school where there were 'others like me.'

After a demonstration in which he had 'apperated' from right in front of me to behind me, I was convinced.

I was a witch.

He had taken me to London to get things for school. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When he had taken me to get a wand I told him that I could do things with out one. He said it was good to have one anyway.

While in Diagon Alley we had been surrounded by reporters with flashing cameras and shouted questions.

When asked who I was Dumbledore had announced that he was adopting me and giving me his second to last name Brian.

So now I was Samantha Brian.

"Look," I said to Albus as we walked on the grounds of the school. He had let me explore the castle all day and I had to say that it was absolutely magnificent. "I know that all the students here sleep in dormitories but I have never done that. I don't know how to share living space with other people, let alone an entire room of other people. I need my own space."

"I will have a place created for you on the grounds if you'd like." He said, stroking his beard. "I know how difficult it is to change habits you've had your entire life."

"I can do it." I said. He raised his eyebrows, surprised. "Is here okay?" I asked, motioning to the clearing that we were standing in, next to the forest. He nodded.

I took a deep breath and imagined what I wanted before waving my hand. A small house appeared in the same stone design of the main castle. It was one story and was very charming.

"That was brilliant." Albus said cheerfully. I went inside and smiled when I saw all my stuff, which wasn't much, in there, with a twin sized bed and two glasses of tea on the table. We sat down and drank the tea.

"When school starts you will have three tutors, if you will, helping you catch up on what you've missed. Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, and Harry Potter. They have been friends since their first year. Tomorrow everyone will be arriving and you'll be going through sorting."

He finished his tea and left me to myself. I showered and got ready for bed and looked in the mirror. I was 5'8", with long black hair that had red and blue streaks through it. My bottom lip and tongue were pierced, as were my ears. I had purple eyes. A weird shade of light, deep purple. I had C cup breasts that looked smaller thanks to a tight bra, a small waist and long legs.

I laid down on the bed and slowly fell asleep, wondering how the next few days would be.
