A/N: Hi everyone SailorAquilla here. This is my first fanfic and I"m just trying to get the feel of writting. I don't know if this sounds good or not. So read it and review so I can decide if I should continue or not. Oh! And I don't own Harry Potter and company. They all belong to J.K. Rowling but Sarin was created by yours truely me! Read it and tell me what you think. Ok guys! Thanks. Hope you like it! Well on with the story.
'Why must I go to this Hogwarts school?' A girl asked herself while bording a train on platform 9 3/4 and finding an empty compartment to brood. 'It's not like I WANT to go to this school and protect the boy-who-lived.' She pulled a book out of her trunk and started to read about wandless magic when suddenly the door to her compartment slid open. She looked up and to her suprise she was face to face with Harry Potter himself. 'Well atleast this means I don't have to go looking for him.'
"I'm sorry to bug you miss but may my friends and I share a compartment with you? All the other compartments are full." Harry Potter asked nervously.
"No not at all you can join me I don't mind. I'd love to have some company." The girl motioned to the empty seats across from her and smiled softly. Harry Potter and him friends moved into the compartment and shut the door.
"I've never seen you before are you new?" Harry studied the girl across from him. She was wearing the school robes already and they had barely left the station. Her hair was black with silver highlights and reached down to her waist but what caught his attention the most was the green eyes that stared back at him. They were the exact blazing green of his eyes. If anyone would have glanced at them they would think they were brother and sister. He was brought out of his musing by the girl talking.
"Yes I'm knew. I was home schooled for a while and I finally was able to talk my family into sending me to a wizarding school. Though it was much easier when I was able to ask Albus to let me stay. He is the only wizard Voldemort fears so it is the safest place to be. And my parents believed that so they aloud me to be accepted to Hogwarts." 'If only you knew I was actually here to protect you Mr. Potter, if only you knew.' "By the way my name is Sarin. What are your names?"
"Oh yes how rude of us not to introduce ourselfs. My name is Harry, Harry Potter. This is my best friend Ron Weasley and my other friend Hermione Granger." Harry said while motioning to his friends as he said their name.
"It is very nice to meet you Sarin...is there a last name?" Hermione asked.
"Um well yes there is but...It's not really important.." Sarin stuttered trying to think of how to change the subject. The three friends exchanged looks then turned back to their new friend as the train bearing them to Hogwarts sped forward. Harry and Ron started talking about Quidditch while Hermione and Sarin tested each other on their knowledge about almost everything and also talked about how they were taking their N.E.W.T.S this year. Soon the train was nearing the station and the three changed into their robes and everyone moved off the train first years and Sarin heading with Hagrid while Harry and his friends headed to the horse less carriages that would bear them to Hogwarts.
Finally when everyone was in the Great Hall and the Sorting Hat sang it's song and sorted the first years whispers started around the hall as to why McGonagall was still standing with the sorting hat. Then Dumbledore stood and called for attention, which made the hall fall completely silent. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Before we stuff our faces with another wonderful beginning of the year feast I would like you to put your hands together for another student who will join out congregation." Dumbledore motioned towards the doors and they opened to show Sarin standing there looking very much like Malfoy would have. People started to whisper to their neighbors but the headmaster called for their attention again and the hall was again quiet. "She was home schooled for much of her life and with the threat of Voldemort raising she and her family have decided to send her here to further her education as well as teach her to defend herself in this war." Dumbledore stopped and watched as people flinched at the Dark Lords name as well as letting the news sink in that they were close to war. "If you would please come forward and be sorted into your house then we may begin our feast." Sarin nodded respectfully to the headmaster and walked towards the front of the hall. The students watched ever step she took but Sarin just held her head high and kept her eyes locked on the Sorting Hat.
When she reached the front she smiles secretly to McGonagall and waited for her to say her name for everyone to hear. She looked looked to Dumbledore and found the twinkle in his eye shining brighter then it ever had before. With a smirk that could scare anyone and mischief clearly evident in her eyes she nodded to Dumbledore and McGonagall the latter of which held the parchment of names for the new students up and cleared her throat to read her name off. "Sarin Potter-Malfoy" Sarin's smirked widened at the gasps that were heard all around the hall and would have laughed had she turned around to see their faces. But as it was she walked up to the Sorting Hat sat on the stool and before she could look around at the shocked faces of the student body the hat fell over her field of vision.
"Ahh. Such a strong one indeed. A Potter AND a Malfoy! I never thought I would see the day when those two ancient lines would cross." A soft voice said in her head and had she been anyone else he might have jumped at the sudden voice but as it was she hide her surprise and replied dully.
"Yes well they have crossed and not by any happy means" Though she had said it in a dull voice there was still an edge to it that said 'Don't bring it up' and soon the hat switch into putting her into her house.
"You are difficult. Potters all go to Gryffindor and all know that Malfoys are Slytherins. Since you have both the traits and neither stand out more then the other I will leave the choice up to you on what house you wish you belong." The Sorting hat told her sounding both between amused and shocked that he could not sort a student.
"To tell the truth Sorting Hat I really don't know what house I want to be in. You know as well as I that must uphold both of my names. Seeing as I am a Potter and a Malfoy I don't see how I can be in either house. If it where an option I would pick both but I don't know what house to choose if I must pick one." Sarin shrugged and the two started to talk about what house would be perfect for her to be sorted into. After awhile the two were tired of trying to figure it out and finally gave up.
"I think you are right my dear. You have become a match for me and I can not sort you. Are you ready to shock the school again with this sorting. You are the first person EVER to be sorted into two houses." The Great Hall was sitting on the edge of their seats. Even the staff of Hogwarts were about to fall off their chairs from how far forward they were seated. The only person in the hall that seemed to be relaxed was the headmaster himself who sat back in his chair sucking on a lemon drop. Finally after 20 minutes of waiting the Sorting Hat finally took a deep breath along with the rest of the school and there was an eerie silence before all was shattered. "Slytherin, Gryffindor!" No one moved or even breathed. Had they heard right. A student had been sorted into TWO houses. That had never happened before and no one thought it was possible. A rather stunned McGonagall took the hat off of Sarin's head she hopped off the stool and turned towards the headmaster who was smiling at her.
"I dare say Sarin you have stunned my students and some of my staff twice in one day. I commend you on that ground I thought it was quite hard to shock BOTH of them. Though the staff is much harder but you seem to have done so." With a small chuckle he raised a goblet to her and waved his wand for another chair to appear next to him. He motioned her to sit in it which she did smiling softly and muttering a small thank you to the headmaster. Dumbledore nodded and stood looking at his students and raised his hands. "As you all have witnessed a student for the first time has been sorted into two houses. I expect all of you to treat her no different then one of your own. On another note the Forbidden Forest is just that forbidden to all students. No magic is to be used in the halls or between classes. Also Mr. Flitch has again reminded me of the list of objects not permitted on school grounds and if any of you should want to know the list is posted in his office. Now before further interruptions let us enjoy our feast." At his last words the tables were filled with food and soon people forgot about Sarin Potter-Malfoy. All those except Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy. They all started at her in disbelieve. But soon were drawn into other conversations and Sarin was in another conversation of her own with Professor Snape. They were talking about the joy of potions making and different potions as well as bickering with one another about what potion would best be used to help with a certain curse. Dumbledore sat back and watched the two bicker with one another with his eyes twinkling. This year planned to be a good year for everyone. Dumbledore leaned over and whispered into Sarin's ear that he wished to see her in his office after the feast she nodded then turned her attention back to Severus Snape and their discussion about potions.
After the feast everyone headed back to their dorms and all looked up to see Sarin Potter-Malfoy watching them leave with a twinkle in her eyes to match Dumbledore but her twinkle was a mischievous one that promised more surprises to come to the school of Hogwarts. She waited for everyone to leave before she followed the headmaster to his office and found McGonagall and Snape already there waiting for both of them. Sarin sat in an empty chair infront of Dumbledore's desk and the headmaster took his seat behind it. "Well Sarin since you have been sorted into both Slytherin and Gryffindor you are aloud to go into both common rooms but seeing as how these two houses have a rivalry with each other I think it would be nice if you had your own rooms while you stay here. You might end up being hated by both of the houses and I don't want to wait till you end up in the hospital wing before I do something about it. Your head of houses have agreed to this arrangement and have also asked that if you need anything or if your houses are hostile towards you in any way that they be informed right away. I do wish I could talk with you more Sarin and ask what you and the Sorting Hat were talking about for twenty minutes but that can happen on a later date. Your head of houses will show you to your room and I will call on you again later so that we may speak. If you need anything you know where to find me." With that the two professors and Sarin stood gave their farwells and goodnight then headed towards Sarin's new room. On the way they started talking about the classes and thing that will be learned that year. The professors were surprised to see how much she knew and bet that she could easily beat Hermionefor the top of the classes. They finally arrived and Sarin bid her head of houses goodnight.
Walking into her new room she say that is was very roomy. The colors were a deep red and green each for Gryffindor and Slytherin while the rest was a cherry colored wod or black. All in all the room was very nice. (A/N: I'm tired and don't wish to go into to much detail I might later on in the story though) It had a home feeling to it like a home away from home. But this was her home from now on she knew she was not gong back to the place she came from. There was to much pain and sorrow in that place along with madness, power, and darkness. No she wanted to know she was save even if it was for a little bit. Opening her trunk she took out her night clothes and slipped into them after a nice shower. She settled down under the covers of her bed with her book on wandless magic and soon feel asleep while reading.
A/N: Well thats it for now. Review and tell me what you think. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Should I continue? Well yeah anyways. Review!
