~A Fic by the ever-so-lovely Meru
A/N: If you don't like the quote "Mary-Sue" type-fics, fuck off. Sometimes people just like to make up their own characters so get over it. Mine is Meru Solis and if you don't like her you can get out (lol, like on South Park). Anyway I don't write many fics w/ me in them actually I haven't written many fics lately at all but maybe this one will kick me back into the writing mood.
This fic is dedicated to my good friend, Colin Miller aka Colin Creevey who rocks my socks. I love you!
This fic takes place during Harry's fifth year (I don't know what will happen so I'm not gonna focus on Harry, Ron, and Herm). Meru is also in her fifth year, she's a Ravenclaw and this is her brother's first year.

Chapter Uno: Time To Go To Hogwarts!

Camera, check. Film, got it. Parchment and ink...found it! Trunk with all robes (dress, winter, etc.) by the door. New books? In trunk I hope. A pale white hand brushed through golden blonde hair that was getting rather long. Colin thought hard...had he packed everything? "Colin, time to go!" a deep voice called to him. Dad...of course. A whole family of muggles except for Colin. He was a mudblood as some liked to say but that term made him shiver, remembering the time when Draco taunted, "You'll be next mudbloods." Well, he was next, wasn't he. Oh how he hated to recall those horrible events that filled his first year. Hogwarts was never dull. "Coming!" he rang back, dashing out of his small room to catch up with the rest of his family at the doorstep. "Colin we're gonna be lateeeeee!!!" Dennis cried from the car. Dennis had only started last year and it was great to have a family member understand where he was coming from, it still wasn't the same. "Alright alright." he said back a little annoyed. Little brothers...he thought as he opened the car door and hopped in next to the dark-haired boy who didn't even looked like him. Must get it from Mom...Colin thought as he looked to a tiny woman sitting in the passenger seat of the car with dark black curls that hung loose on her head. "Hurry dear!" she called out to her husband who was hurrily packing everything in the car. "Ok..." he sighed as he shoved the last trunk into the back. "Let's go!"

"Time to go to Hogwarts. Time to go to Hogwarts!" shouted a young boy, merely ten, wearing a long black robe with a small orange cat curled up onto his head, it's two tails swishing about in the air. His light brown hair was covered in orange car hairs but he obviously didn't seem to mind as he continued to march around all of the Solis Castle shouting, "Time to go to Hogwarts. Time to go to Hogwarts!" Mr. Diggory walked in the den and just laughed and looked towards the sullen girl laying out on one of the velvet navy couchs annoyingly reading one of her newly purchased schoolbooks. "How are you Ms. Meru?" he asked her cheerly. "What do you think Mr. Amos?" her golden amber eyes glared at her brother who simply waved at her crazily. Amos laughed. It was good to be around friends and family after Cedric's death and somehow the ocean breeze made him feel youthful and refreshed. Today was the day they would return to Hogwarts. After having such a dreadful summer, living through the torture of her brother waiting everyday for his owl and went it finally came him screaming and parading around the castle in such a foolish manner. Then, of course, the next day they had to rush off to Diagon Alley to buy him everything he wanted plus some. Oh how she hated it. He got everything brand-new, everything perfect, while she was stuck with shit. His wand was eight inches, griffin hair, and made of the finest Spanish mahogany, good for Charms. Just a little different from her own. The girl sat up and left the room, eager to pack to leave, but not yet ready to go. There was only one person she longed to see, one person she wanted to be with, and only that one person that made her even the tiniest bit happy. Colin Creevey. She stared at the moving picture of them together, he smiled back at her. There was only one thing she really wanted to say to him and that was, "I'm sorry." She said to the picture knowing perfectly that it can't talk back. She looked around her empty chamber. Nothing was in it but her large canopy bed and a desk. The house elves had already packed everything and taken it to it's approtiate location. "Time to go." her mother popped in, and said with only the slightest hint of a Spanish accent to it. Mrs. Diggory was close behind here, they were very close friends. As soon as I see him, I'll explain it all and apologize, she thought.
