(hey, this is my first fic, it takes place during the seventh year. I changed some of the events so it can fit my story, review please and let me know what you think)

Chapter 1:

"Maya, Maya, com'mon, you don't want to be late for your first day at Hogwarts" my godmother called.

I ran over to her with my suitcase

"I'm ready" I said. She took the suitcase from me and walked to the car, and I followed her.

I was terrified, my head was swimming with all sorts of scenarios. I didn't like all of them

"What if they didn't like me? What if they laugh at me, it's not my fault that they didn't find me till six years late? It's not my fault, I mean they'll think that I'm a freak! What about my friends here, what about-" I was babbling, and she cut me off.

"Relax, the kids at Hogwarts are nice. They won't do anything, just stay away from the Slytherins. They're the mean ones. Besides, Professor Dumbledore was keen enough to teach you everything through the summer that you would be as good as all your classmates, AND you'll get to meet Harry Potter; I heard that he was the same year as you are."

"But-" I started.

"No buts," she cut me off again. "You're gonna be just fine."

"What if I get into Slytherin?" I challenged her.

"I really don't think you will. First, your parents were Muggles. Second, you are too sweet for them" she said.

I sigh and waited till we got to the train station. My aunt/godmother told me everything about her Hogwarts experience, so I already know what to expect crossing the wall to get to the station, this weird feeling of walking through water then coming out dry.

I looked around, there was kids of all ages accompanied by their parents. They all looked happy, unlike me. I mean, not that I'm not happy going to a wizarding school and it's not that I really wanted be with my friends in a Muggle school being ignored and hated by the love of my life, Jake.

It's just that I'd through a lot of changes in my life that I wasn't so happy making another one, my aunt crossed behind me, and pointed towards the entrance of the train

"Are you ready?" she asked. I walked unsure, someone ran into me and rushed into the train.

"This is gonna be a long year." I stepped inside and waved my aunt goodbye.

The train was just like she described to me, as beautiful and magical as a magical train can be. I searched through it for an empty compartment. I almost gave up till I found one, I walked in and put my bags in their place.

I looked out of the window: my aunt was already gone talking with some of what I think are old classmates. I heard movement behind me then a familiar voice asked:

"All other cabinets are full, do you mind if I sit here" I turned around, and with a shocked expression I gazed at Jake my friend/enemy who hates me and doesn't care to know that I'm madly in love with him. He looked at me with a weird expression first then his mocking eyes came up and he said "Give it to you to ruin my last year at Hogwarts."

I was pissed at him I glared back and asked "What the hell are you doing here?"

"What the hell are YOU doing here?" he asked back. "did you just turn eleven, or were you just invisible the last six years?"

I thought a little then I lied to him. "I was in another school in France."

"Oh then, bonjoure miss Maya, I hope you enjoy your year at Hogwarts," he said sarcastically in a French accent.

I turned my face away from him back to the window and said "If you were to stay with me this whole trip I wish if you'd keep your comments to yourself."

He chose to annoy me more and copied my speech "Well, if you were to stay at Hogwarts this whole year I wish if you'd not bother to approach me I wouldn't wanna be known as your … friend." He said the last word in a sarcastic voice.

I closed my eyes to stop the tears from bursting out, I don't think he knows how much his talk affects me, it hurt so deep inside that even a bullet can't go that far.

I heard him sit down behind me without a word. I didn't turn till the train started moving, when I sat down he went out leaving me alone, I cast 'mufliato'.

Then I started crying and closed the door and locked it behind me, after a couple of minutes I calmed down. I sat up and repaired my look, then took the spells off.

After about four hours, the sales lady came by and asked if I wanted anything. I dismissed her, I didn't feel like eating. A couple of minutes later he got back. I ignored him completely, I didn't even look up to see him. I kept my eyes on the dark arts book that I was reading. It was very interesting.

"I bet you'd get into Slytherin" he said.

I looked up at him with a bored expression.

"Excuse me," I said.

"I said I bet you'd get into Slytherin, Dracula," he annoyed me.

"It's rude to talk like that to people you don't even know," I answered sarcastically, "Besides, I'm a Muggle-born; what makes you think that Slytherin would take me?"

He chuckled, and said

"Well, that's just great I wouldn't have to endure you all year."

I ignored him again and went back to my book. It was such an ancient book. Beside being forbidden in Hogwarts, I had to change the cover to make it look like a novel.

A couple of hours passed and no one said anything. I put down the book and stared out of the window it was getting dark, the sound of the door opening made me look.

"We're almost there, you better start getting dressed!" Hermione Granger said.

I knew her because of the magazines that my aunt brought home. I nodded at her and smiled.

She looked at Jake and grinned he winked her. It disgusted me. I looked away, then she said "Hey, I don't know you! what year are you?"

"I'm new here, I'm in the 7th year" I answered

"That's not possible, professor Dumbledore didn't say anything about a transfer student!"

I answered in frustration "Just ask him when we get to Hogwarts, okay."

She glared at me angrily then went out.

I whispered to myself "Great, now I got the little miss potter prefect angry with me" I sighed.

Jake laughed at me.

When we got to the castle, it was beautiful, just like everyone said. I went to the carriages, although I'm technically a first year, so I was supposed to go in the boats. There was some sort of horses with wings driving it, but they were nothing but bones; they were weirdly beautiful, I walked towards them; no one was looking at them which was weird.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Jake said.

I looked, confused, at him. "Don't you see them?"

"Ahh, what am I supposed to see?" he asked, looking at the carriage.

"Jake, don't play stupid. Do you seriously not see them?"

"I really don't see anything." He sounded honest

"They're thesterals, you don't see them unless you've seen someone die," a blonde girl that looked daydreaming said. Then she left.

"That's Luna Lovegood , she's ...something" he explained. "Who did you see dying, Maya?" he asked.

I shivered at my name coming from his mouth it sounded amazing

"My parents, they died in a car accident. I was in the car" I answered. I saw a flash of pity in his eyes, but he turned away quickly before I could notice anything more and he said

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright I made peace with it, it doesn't bother me anymore, can you see them? They're so beautiful" I said, but he just turned around like he forgot something and he walked away with no answer. I wanted to hit him with a baseball bat on his stupid full of rubbish head.

I got on the carriage and waited till we got to the castle. As a I got to the door I saw a long line of young witches and wizards waiting as their bags were being searched. I wondered if that was a new routine at Hogwarts because my aunt never told me anything about this. After I passed through, I went straight to the entrance, and right to the Great Hall, but an old professor stopped me saying

"Aren't you Maya? The student that professor Dumbledore has been teaching through the summer?"

"Yes ma'am, I'm her."

"Well you can't just go in, you have to go with the first years for sorting into houses" she said. "Wait over here and I'll be right back."

She left me standing alone on the entrance of the Great Hall.

I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. I was gonna make a fool of myself walking with the first years.

The professor came back a few minutes later accompanied by little kids that looked as fascinated with the castle as I were.

We walked in, and I tried to hid myself but still I did hear some whisper when I walked by.

We stopped in front of a chair with a hat on it, I recognized it as the sorting hat, I waited till the last kid went to his table, then professor Dumbledore stood up and said

"Dear students, we have a special girl with us this year."

I blushed deeply.

"Maya, wont you please sit in the chair?"

I sat down.

"She has transferred from another school far away, I'd like you all to welcome her to Hogwarts, Now let's see who's the lucky house."

The hat started taking to me. "You're such a brave girl for doing all this, what do you say we put you into Gryffindor?"

I answered it in my head "Yes please."

Suddenly it shouted "Gryffindor!"

I got up and went towards the table with the cheering and welcoming, I sat down at the end of the table away from everyone, it just didn't feel real to me that I was here and I was so afraid of rejection.

After the feast ended, we headed towards the dorms, I went straight to my bed, changed then I got to sleep, I missed technology, and I missed my safe friends, I didn't want to have to go through being accepted again, it sucked. Finally I fell asleep with dreams of him again.

(thanks for reading, love u
