I do not own the characters in any of these stories. They belong to their rightful owners. This is my first Fanfiction. Please don't hate me if you do not like it. The more reviews I get, the more inclined I will be to continue it. I enjoyed making this chapter. I didn't plan on turning it into a Fanfiction- I just came up with the story and started writing it. I will stop talking now so you can read it and hopefully enjoy it.
Chapter 1
"This must be a mistake! How am I a witch? I can't be one! I just can't!" My shout was barely heard over the roar of the train. Contemplating whether I should just jump off the train or continue on my fast travel to Hogwarts, I sat down. My friend reached over to me with understanding eyes.
"I know it's hard to believe Eona but you are one. Yesterday I found out I was a wizard. I could hardly believe it myself!" Kygo's words calmed me a little- he had the same shock I had when I first found out. His eyes were heart-warming to look at; they made me feel safe; they held comfort. He always knew how to make me feel at ease-that's why I could talk to him about anything.
"You won't leave me when we get there, will you?" My voice quivered at the thought of being by myself.
"No, of course not, I will be with you every step of the way." His hand gently touched mine as he kindly smiled at me.
"Thank you, Kygo." My appreciation showed through my smile back. We sat still, staring at one another, for a few seconds, before deciding to change into our robes. As we left our separate ways to get changed, a smile crept across my face. I could overcome any problem when Kygo was by my side.
We were almost there. Butterflies claimed my stomach while my breath caught. Seeing my distress, Kygo sat closer to me, put a hand on my clasped ones and the other one around me. I looked up into his face seeking comfort. It was there, deep in his eyes. Content, I leaned into him smelling his scent. My eyes gazed at our hands as he softly kissed my head. I hope we are in the same house. At least then I would know that he would always be at my side. Now that I think about it, I wonder how we get chosen into our houses. I overheard someone say that there was this sorting hat. How interesting.
The train came to a quick halt in about ten and a half minutes. I grabbed my bag of belongings and Blue Orchid, my new owl. Kygo and I exchanged glances as we opened the door. Kygo allowed me to stop out first; as soon as I was in the hallway, someone forcefully rammed into me. Before I fell over, Kygo put an arm out and caught me. I mouthed a thank you before looking behind me.
Right before me was a boy with red hair, freckles, and an embarrassed blush. He got up, held his hand out to shake mine, thought better of it, and put it down.
"Um… Sorry about that. I… Um… Well, I was sorta on a hurry. I didn't mean to run into you," he stammered. His blush deepened as he realized how stupid he sounded.
"Oh, it's quite alright. No one was hurt," I replied ignoring his blushes of embarrassment, later adding, "Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm Eona."
"My name is Ron. The kid with the glasses behind me is Harry and the girl with the huge textbook is Hermione," Ron said nodding his head behind him.
"I'm Kygo, her friend," Kygo informed them, zest in his voice, pointing a finger at me.
"Kygo, shouldn't we be on our way? Would you three like to join us?" I asked hesitantly hoping Kygo wouldn't mind.
"Well that would be splendid wouldn't it?" Ron said as his friends nodded in agreement. Together we got off waiting for what lay ahead of us all.
We stood close to each other adjusting to our surroundings. There were many students in robes, just like ours, trying to find their friends or looking for something they lost. Cats jumped from their owners' arms while others scrambled to grab their frogs. Owls screeched waiting for the freedom to fly. Some first years excitedly tested their new wands, and ended up with their underwear on their heads. A girl prefect calmly tried to stop the chaos but failed miserably. They either ignored or walked into her. I hope I don't become a prefect when I'm of age.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" A booming voice cried out startling many of the first years. My eyes quickly averted from the other wizards and witched to the source of the noise. A large man with a scraggly beard caught my attention.
"My name is Hagrid. It is great to meet all of you!" The bearded man named Hagrid said.
"Is it just me or does that Hagrid guy need to shave?" Ron whispered before getting a cold glare from Hermione. Ron quickly shut up and looked at his feet.
"First years follow me. The rest of you go about your business," Hagrid ordered lifting up a lamp to guide our way.
All the chaos seemed to have vanished as the first years collected their items and followed Hagrid. We were led to a small dock with many boats. My new friends and I took one boat while the others searched for their own. The boats were quite spacious even though they didn't look like it.
"Where are the oars?" Ron searched around frantically.
"They're magic!" I stated in amazement.
"Wait, I think I've read about them in my book!" Hermione quickly opened her book, flipping through pages quite quickly.
"Ugh… You and your books!" Ron groaned placing a hand on his shaking head.
"Ahh. Here it is! It's called a Limbóata. They head in the direction in which they are directed by the enchanter," Hermione read ignoring Ron's rude remark.
I looked over to see Kygo staring at the boat, awe shining brightly in his eyes. Light in the water caught my attention, so I peered over the side of the boat. Lights seemed to be floating everywhere around this dark looming castle. They looked like candles but I couldn't tell from this far away. It looked quite magnificent.
"Okay everyone! Exit the boats via the docks to your right. We will cross the bridge and enter into the entry hall before heading into the dining hall." Hagrid was already on the deck holding his umbrella by his hand and the lamp in the other.
Once off the Limbóatas, we climbed steps 'till we reached the bridge. I was getting more nervous by now from the quick glances I absorbed of the growing castle. I was so measly looking compared to it. A hand touched my arm making me look up to see who it was. I looked up to see Harry instead of who I expected it to be: Kygo.
"Hey, I'm nervous too! We can get through this together- all of us." I found Harry's voice to be comforting just like Kygo's.
"I know that we'll get through this together," I looked at the others, "but thanks for reminding me," I said with a hint of appreciation at the corner.
We continued taking a step forward together. I saw Kygo glance at us with disappointment in his eyes that he wasn't the one comforting me right now; soon replaced by joy of seeing me content and not nervous like I was a few hours ago. I smiled at him as he reached the end of the bridge. I was a few paces behind him. Kygo stopped and waited for me to reach him before continuing to walk again. The others were a few paces ahead of us except for Harry who quickened his pace to talk with Ron. Hermione just glanced at Harry as he approached them. I wonder how she came to be friends with them.
"You okay?" Kygo looked at me with a searching face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Harry made me realize I wouldn't do this alone. My question is are you okay?" I gave him a searching glance of my own. Kygo just nodded and kissed my hair as he put an arm around me.
My friends and the other first years had finally reached our destination: the castle entrance. Hagrid lead us inside, handed us off to a lady, said goodbye, and left the castle.
"Hello witches and wizards. My name is Professor McGonagall. Welcome to Hogwarts! I will lead you into the dining hall where you will be sorted. When your name is called, sit down on the stool. I will proceed to put the sorting hat on your head," Professor McGonagall explained opening the door to the dining hall afterwards.
I stepped closer to Kygo as we entered through the doors of the dining hall.
"It will be alright," Kygo chided as the doors behind us closed shut.
