A/N Ok, so, this is my first story. I've tried to write two other stories, but those fell through. :/ I have set plots for this, but some of them could change as it goes along. It would be great if you would review and tell me how this is. This story follows two girls, Emily and Rosalie, (original characters) about their life at Hogwarts.
The prologue starts with them going to Hogwarts for their first year. I didn't expect it to be as long as it is. But, I wanted to start with them getting sorted also. This isn't the whole prologue because it's a bit long and I also wanna get feedback! After getting them sorted and a bit more of their first year I'll end the prologue.
In Chapter 1, I'm gonna flash forward to them being in 6th year. I know you might want me to keep going in their first year, but my plots aren't like that. Emily and Rosalie are in the same year as Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Emily is the MAIN character. It will mostly be in her POV. As the story goes on, I'm not sure exactly who I'll have Emily romantically involved with, I was thinking Harry at first. But, we shall see. This story goes along with the main plots in Harry's years, years 1-5. Some characters will be a bit OOC, also. I'll let you know who when I get up to it.
Summary: Follow two original characters, Emily and Rosalie, in their 6th year at Hogwarts and see how they interact with the other characters.
Disclaimer:I don't anything except for the plots and the two OCs.
Prologue-
EPOV
There I was, Emily Wood, sitting in a compartment near the back of a train all alone. I had passed many empty compartments, but I knew they would soon be filled. I deided the back would be best to get some peace. What was I doing on a train, you might ask? I am a witch and I was on my way to a school called Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a school for young witches and wizards from ages 11-17. We witches and wizards go there to learn how to keep our magic under control, expand our magic abilities, and learn the history of magic. Magic isn't just spells, but potions, too. Mythical creatures? They really aren't mythical. Werewolves, Unicorns, Dragons, Merpeople. They're real. I was rather excited to learn more about these things.
So, before I go any further, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am a half-blood witch. My father is a half-blood, and my mom is a both knew as soon as I had accidentally magically muted my father, I was a witch. He was being a git telling me how a proper lady should talk, act, and dress like. I could do whatever I damn well pleased.
Anyways, instead of my dad being angry at me for muting him, he thought it rather funny and was glad that I was a witch. When my mother found out, she was pleased, too. They were slightly worried that I might not get my magical powers, but I did. I don't have any uncles or aunts for both my mom and dad didn't have a brother or sister.I have one grandma (she's a witch) from my mom's side and that's about it for relatives we are close to.
Now, back to the story, I was sitting there peacefully reading through one of my schoolbooks, The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk, when all of the sudden, my compartment door burst open and a girl plopped down to the seat opposite me. I looked at her inquisitively and she looked at me as if she just realized I was in there.
"Hey! I'm sorry. Is anyone sitting here? I hope not! All the other compartments were full! I think I was the last one to board the train. It's kind of embarassing. We are always late."
I rose an eyebrow at her and I thought how it would be possible to get all those words out so fast. I told her, "No. No one is sitting here."Her whole body relaxed, but then her eyes grew wide.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Rosalie! Rosalie Williams." She flashed me a smile. "I'm a first year. Very nice to meet you.. uh.." She trailed off."
Emily," I say, "Emily Wood." I smile back at her. "I'm a first year, too. "
She held out her hand and I shook it."Nice to meet you, Emily!" She said, "So, what house are you hoping to get in? I can't possibly decide which one I'd like best. Gryffindor, the brave? Hufflepuff, the sweet? Ravenclaw, the clever? Slytherin, the.. well, I wouldn't want to be in that house.."I was pretty sure she'd get in Hufflepuff."
Well, I think Ravenclaw would be nice.." I told her.
"Oh, yes! Ravenclaw. I see that you are reading some of our school books already?"
I looked at her and looked down at the book I had been reading. "Yes, I am. Why not read ahead? It will certaintly help, right?"
She smiles. " Of course! I was reading some of our transfiguration book. It sounds so interesting! I can't wait for classes! Don't you think they will be fun?"
"Yes, classes will be fun, I'm sure."
Suddenly, she grows a bit pale and embarassed. "Um.. I'm sorry. Am I talking too much? My mum always tells me that I can be a bit.. overwhelming.." She bites her lip.
Although she was a bit overwhelming, she was really sweet.
"No, no! You're quite alright." I gave her a small smile.
"Oh, good! Well, I hardly had any sleep last night, because I was so excited. I think I might take a nap. Would that be ok?"
I gave her a nod and she took out a blanket from a trunk she brought in with her. She laid down and closed her eyes.
I sat watching her for a few minutes and thought about what had just happened. She really is overwhelming, I had thought. She seems sweet, though.
Soon, little soft snores were coming from her and I decided to get back to reading.
A few hours later, I was still reading. I was so wrapped up in it, I hardly looked outside. A couple hours ago, though, I did get a few things from the passing trolley. I saved a couple chocolate frogs for Rosalie. I just started to take a look outside, when our train stopped. I looked outside and saw a huge castle in the distance and there was a big lake in front of it. I was in awe. It was as great as it sounded.
I turned to Emily and gently shook her awake. She bolted upwards."What..?" She rubbed her eyes. "Wow! Are we here? Was I out for that long? Well.. I might have lied. I didn't get ANY sleep last night." She looked out the window and her mouth dropped open. She looked at me as if asking, is that Hogwarts? I gave here a nod and she smiled.
Suddenly, we heard a deep voice yell out, "First years! First years! Follow me! We're taking boats up teh the castle." Rosalie looked at me and we jumped up hurrying to gather our luggage. I threw my books into my bag and I spotted the two chocolate frogs I had saved.
"Oh, Rosalie! The trolley came by and I got these two for you.. I thought you might have wanted something from it."
She looked at me with shining eyes. "Really? Thank you so much! I owe you!"She gives me a big smile.
Wow, she really is an odd one, I thought. "Oh, it's fine, Rosalie! Really. It's only a couple chocolate frogs.."
The man had started yelling for the first years again and we left the compartment. The aisleway was just about empty and we hurriedly exited the train.
The man that was yelling for us had a lantern in hand. He was a huge guy. He must have been more than double my height. There were other kids already next to him and me and Rosalie hurried over.
"I think that's the last of 'em." said the man. He winked at me and Rosalie. "The name's Hagrid. I'll be taking yeh all up to Hogwarts by boat."
We followed the man to a landing and there were many small boats waiting there. Rosalie grabbed my arm and we walked over to a boat.
"Well, yeh all can get in now!" said got onto the boat, when another girl came up to us.
"Mind if I join you two?" Rosalie and I shook our heads."Thanks. My name is Hannah Abbott. And your names?"
"I am Rosalie Williams and this is Emily Wood!" We both held out our hands and Hannah shook them both. She climbed in and, after she sat down, the boat started to move. I looked around and found all the others were settled in their boats.
Hagrid yelled out, "The boats are charmed teh move, so there's not any paddlin'."
As we got nearer to the castle, it grew bigger and bigger. I looked all around us and took in everything. I couldn't believe how big the whole place was.
Rosalie broke the silence. "Oh my. This is so.. incredible! Look at how huge the castle is! I wonder what our dorm rooms are gonna be like. Oh, Hannah! What house do you want to be in? I don't know which one I want. All of them, besides Slytherin, sound very nice..I can't believe we're really here!"
Hannah looked at Rosalie. "Yes, yes it is. I think Hufflepuff sounds nice.." Hannah turned to me and gave me a look."Yes," I started, "she is quite talkative."
I smiled at Rosalie who was blushing. "It's ok, Rosalie. It's not a bad thing." I reassured her.
We finally reached Hogwarts and got off our boats. We followed Hagrid to the entrance gate.
"I'll take yeh all up there. We are running a bit late." We entered through the gate and walked up to Hogwart's main entrance door.
A/N Well, thanks for reading and sorry for stopping there. But, I really want to know if this story is any good so far! Please, please, please review! Thanks! ^_^
