You see, I have delicate feelings, and if no one reviews I may become discouraged and never write again, so pretty please, just take two seconds to tell me what you think. You can tell me you hate it (but tell me why), and I'll thank you in the next chapter because you took the time to help me along my way and if I ever get a book published I may dedicate it to you.

Chapter One (A/N It may be the only one if you don't review)
She watched dragon from a distance, seeing only a vague outline, but still grasping it's magnificence. Every day she saw it, right before classes each morning when she did her morning jog around the castle lake. Up on top of the hill by a shallow lake the dragon basked in the sunlight and drank a bit of water before taking off again every day. For fourteen years she had lived at Hogwarts, and she had never been anywhere else besides the occasional trip to Hogsmead, but there was always someone right by her, making sure she didn't wander off. It was all Voldemort's fault, well, him and his evil, cruel, and dark apprentice of a son.
Erin's thoughts drifted to Christopher Potter, the boy-who lived, supposedly. Her father always hinted how they should spend more time together. It would be perfect if they got married. Christopher Potter, future defeater of Voldemort, and Erin Dumbledore, heir of all four founders and daughter of the leader of the light. Everyone loved the idea, even Chris, but Erin didn't like the feeling that her future was already planned. Her one boyfriend, a Slythern had been sent to the hospital within two days after their first date. As things continued, he got sent there more and more until he broke up with her for sheer terror of being killed. Erin knew Chris had been behind it, him and his cronies were always pulling things like this. Even so, all things considered, he wasn't a bad person; just a little too… shallow. Like his parents, Chris thought everything was black or white, good or evil.
While Erin had been lost in thought, the dragon had been preparing to push off from the small hill visible above the trees of the forbidden forest. Erin returned to reality in time to watch it fly away. She sighed and then began to walk back towards the entrance of Hogwarts. Since she was the heir all four founders, Erin was especially gifted magically. Albus Dumbledore, Erin's father, who was descended from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, could barely defend himself against her. He said Erin, once she reached her full potential, would be over twice as powerful as him.
The first few early birds were making their way to breakfast when Erin reached the Gryffindor common room. She ascended the girl's staircases to her dorm room to find all her roommates still asleep. She smiled and walked into the bathroom were she took a short shower. Her roommates were beginning to stir slightly as she came out, towelling her hair dry.
"Come on Ginny, time to get up." Erin said to her best friend, Ginny Weasley. Ginny moaned, then blinked blearily.
"Whaaa?" She mumbled. Erin shook her head, and then snatched the blanket away in the blink of an eye.
"Hey!" Ginny said, who was more awake now.
"Get up." Erin replied cheerfully, before getting out a book to read while Ginny stumbled to the shower. The book was entitled, Choosing Your Animageous Form to Transforming Into It. So far Erin had found that she was a rare multianimegous, with four forms; fox, robin, and she had yet to discover the other two, but she could already completely transform into a fox and could partially transform into a robin. The chapter Erin was reading described how some traits had to be brought out before they could be discovered, which was why some people would never be able to become animagi until they were extremely old.
Erin was just thinking how it might get easier to turn into a robin once her trait was brought out more, when Ginny emerged from the bathroom with curled hair and a rather heavy amount of make-up. Erin just raised her eyebrows.
"What?" Asked Ginny, seeing her friend's expression.
"Well, isn't it easier to just use a little lip gloss and eyeliner?" Erin asked, trying not to be rude as they walked down the girl's staircase together.
"Easier yes, but how would I get a boyfriend. We don't all have the perfect guy waiting for us like you do." Ginny said, extremely girly and just a little bitter.
"For the millionth time, I do not like Chris, he and I are just expected to get together because we're both prominent members of the 'Light' side. He may want to please everyone thinking that, but I don't." Erin explained, trying to be patient with her small-minded friend. The both climbed out of the portrait hole, and headed toward the Great Hall as the talked.
"Whatever you say 'Rin, but you two are perfect for each other. If I could just do your make-up and pick out your cloths in the morning, he wouldn't be able to leave your side." Ginny said, again extremely girlishly.
"He's already following me after classes, I don't want to encourage him." Erin groaned, for she had heard that before.
"Why not." Ginny asked.
"I already told you, I don't like him. Let's change the subject. What do we have after breakfast, potions or charms?" Erin asked.
"Potions with Professor Potter, you know she wants you to get together with Chris too." Ginny told Erin, forgetting about the subject change.
"Believe me, I know. She's always dropping not so subtle hints about it. Do you know what we're doing in Potions?"
"Uhh, I think we're continuing the bone healing potion from last quarter moon. That or starting the draught of living death which we're supposed to do this week." Ginny answered. Erin was prevented from commenting by the arrival of Christopher. Erin groaned softly.
"Hey Erin." Christopher said enthusiastically, coming up behind her as soon as they entered the Great Hall.
"Hey Chris." Erin replied with no enthusiasm.
"So what are you doing next Saturday?"
"I'm busy." Erin replied quickly.
"Doing what?"
"Well, I have an advanced magic lesson with my dad, I mean headmaster then an essay for Professor Lupin. Plus I have to study for the Wandless magic test and then I have to finish Beginner's Blood magic so the headmaster can start to teach me how to perform blood magic." Erin lied. It was true about the lesson, but her essay had been done the previous night, the book she had to read had been finished for weeks and she knew everything they had studied in Wandless Magic by heart. She was really planning to try and find the hill the dragon she saw everyday stopped each morning.
"Really? What about next week, busy still eh? You never seem to have a break. When I asked you last week I got the same answer." Chris said suspiciously. At least he wasn't stupid.
"Yeah, I'm a busy person."
"Why don't I ask your dad if he'll let you have a break?" Suggested Christopher.
"No thanks, I prefer to keep busy." Erin replied a little too hastily, she knew as well as Chris did that her father would most certainly give her a break if she went out with Chris.
"If you keep too busy you won't have a life."
"If you're not busy enough you don't have a life either." Erin retorted.
"Fine, have it your way, but let me know when you're free." Christopher said before flashing his famous smile and walking back to his friends.
"I thought you finished that book a long time ago." Ginny said once Christopher was out of earshot.
"Yeah, but I don't want to hang out with him on Saturday." Erin explained.
"Why not?" Asked Ginny as they took their seats in the middle of the Gryffindor table.
"Because it would be a date." Erin replied.
"Why don't you want to date him? It's inevitable you two will get married someday." Ginny said.
"We've been through this before, about five minutes ago in fact." Erin said tiredly, grabbing a piece of toast.
"Fine, if you don't want to go out with him, then who do you like?" Asked Ginny as she bit into her bacon.
"Well, it's pointless to dream since they'd all end up in the hospital anyway, but Jacob Nadik is nice." Erin replied, who didn't really like anyone, but mentioned a name just to keep Ginny happy.
"He's cute, but why waste time on him when you could go out with Christopher Potter?" Ginny said Chris' name dreamily.
"If you like him, you go out with him." Erin replied, rolling her eyes at Ginny's expression.
"Oh be serious, he only has eyes for you." Ginny said.
"Only because it's what him parents want. He may like you secretly, but is trying to keep his parents happy." Erin said, hoping that that was true.
"Whatever." Ginny said, and they finally started to talk about something else. Breakfast soon ended, and everyone headed toward his or her first class.
