(I have big hopes for this fan fiction. I want to write the last four novels of the harry potter series with my own character. Harry potter and almost all the characters inside my fan fiction belong to J.K. Rowling. Any and every comment/advice/idea is appreciated)
Enjoy :)

She gingerly took off the hat and gave it to the teacher. The hats yell was so disorienting that Ilia completely forgot about her luggage still in the carriage.
She looked up at the tall ceiling and saw four different banners, one to a table. It was Gryffindor on the far right, then Gryffindor, then Ravenclaw, and then finally Slytherin. She sat down at the back of the Slytherin table. Not a moment later the doors burst open and hundreds of people streamed in. When everyone had sat down and the little children who were obviously first years got into line at the front of the room did the strangest thing happen. The hat that had told AUralia she was in slytherin started to sing. Auralia could not understand what it was saying for it was singing too fast but she managed to catch one verse.

And power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.

Still puzzling over what that meant about herself Auralia almost missed the sorting.

"Pritchard, Graham!" McGonagall shouted. One of the last first years walked up to the hat and stool obviously terrified.

"SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled and the slytherin house, her house, erupted into claps and cheers. Moments later Professor Dumbledore got to his feet and smiled.

"I have only two words to say to you," his deep friendly voice echoed around the hall. "Tuck in." with those words the empty plates before them filled.
She searched and searched, but Luna was nowhere to be seen. Then all of a sudden eyes were on her. She looked up the table and saw that most were staring at her. This one boy, with platinum blonde hair was open mouthed. That was just this table. There were pointing fingers and whispers so around the hall that did not stop even during the sorting ceremony. Ilia's face grew redder and redder by the second until she finally just looked down into her lap and let her hair create an almost perfect curtain of privacy.
Only when the food appeared did she look up. It was almost purely English food. She sighed and looked up and down the table, in hopes of finding something familiar. Finally she spotted in the middle if the table untouched by anyone, a large bowl of Bouillabaisse. Knowing she would probably regret this she walked over to it.
"May I have the Bouillabaisse?" She asked the platinum blonde haired boy. Her accent was thick she could tell, but he seemed to understand. She blushed, it was very hard for her to pronounce her h's.
"This?" He pointed to it. He had the same misty eyed expression most boys had when they were too close to her. It was quite annoying actually.
"Yes." She tried not to show her embarrassment.
He handed her the bowl and seemed to come back to his senses when she was back in her seat.
She ate in silence still searching the Ravenclaw table for the wispy blonde hair of Luna.
Auralia was so engrossed in her own thoughts she hadn't realized the headmaster was speaking.

"I have great pleasure in announcing that this year at hogwarts-" That moment the doors into the hall were slammed open. A man walked into the hall a loud thunk echoing around the vast room on his every other step. His face was.. Haunting. A large chunk of his nose was missing, his mouth looked like it was a slit in his face, and his eyes were was dark and beady the other was round and too large for his face, it moved constantly; never blinking. Only when the man sat down did the headmaster continue his speech.
"May i introduce our new Defence Against the Dark arts teacher? Professor Moody." the hall was silent. Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"As i was saying we are to have the honor of hosting a very exciting event over the coming months, an event over the coming months, an event that has not been held for over a century. It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year." the hall burst into cheers and laughter. Auralia thought hard. What if durmstrang came to hogwarts, her sister was age. Would she come? Would Aurelia see the sister she hadn't seen in 6 years?

"Chop! Chop!" Dumbledore said in a resolved manner. With those words everyone in the great hall got to their feet and walked through the great oak doors. Trying not to look lost she recognized the boy with blonde hair and followed him and some other Slytherins.
A girl with the slytherin symbol pinned to her robes was calling the 1st years over.
"First years this way!" She called, and started walking down the corridor. More embarrassed than ever, Auralia trailed behind them.
She was in awe of their common room. It was deep under the school, beneath a lake she had somehow missed. The walls were a dark grey stone, the wall on her right was consumed by a gigantic ornate hearth covered in skulls and a carving of the snake emblem. Plump black couches scattered the room offering a comfortable place to study. There was a glass wall that showed the depth of the lake, schools of fish swam by, chased by what looked like a giant squid.
There was a tap on her shoulder that made her jump. She turned around to see a girl with dark brown hair looking at her inquisitively.
"I didn't know people could start at Hogwarts at your age." She said in an accusing tone.
"Professor Dumbledore invited me when I moved to England." Auralia recognized this girl. She was sitting next to the blonde boy who gave her the Bouillabaisse.
"Dumbledore invited you? Do you mean the school?" She smirked.
"No I mean Dumbledore. I met him over the summer when I was at a dinner party with my old headmistress." The girl looked taken aback. She obviously didn't expect an answer like that. Auralia pressed on. "Is that blonde boy your boyfriend or something? Is that why you are being so rude to me?"
"Y-you mean Draco?" The girl's cheeks glowed red.
"I didn't mean to intrude, I just wanted Bouillabaisse." And with that walked away leaving the girl standing there open mouthed.
Auralia needed to get out of the crowded room. She walked up to the girl who had shown the first years the way.
"Umm where are the bedrooms?" She asked tentatively.
"Oh!" The girl smiled brightly. "Follow me."
The girl led Auralia down some stairs into a large room filled with full poster beds.
"Thank you." Auralia smiled at the girl.
"No problem." She grinned back. "What year are you in?"
"I'm a fourth year."
"Ah, I'm a fifth year." She grinned even wider. "My name is Arin, if you ever have any questions just ask." With a cheery smile she walked back out of the room.
Auralia walked towards the end of the room, looking at each of the beds. The end of the room cast an eerie green glow as the wall was glass like in the common room. Auralia looked over at the bed closest to the window and gasped in surprise. Her luggage was already there.
She knew it was early but she couldn't help but yawn. Sitting down on her new bed she looked at the window.
Auralia woke up the next morning still wearing her robes. Yawning she changed her clothes watching the lake through the glass. Quickly braiding her hair, Auralia walked into the common room. It was mostly empty due to the fact that it was still very early. Not knowing what to do she walked up to breakfast.
She sat down again at the edge at the table. She ate her scrambled eggs in silence. All of a sudden there was a tap on her shoulder. Jumping in surprise, Auralia turned around. She found herself staring at luna who was grinning at her.
"Luna!" Auralia grinned.
"So you're in Slytherin?" Luna sat down next to her.
"Yes, I really like the common room, I can see into the lake."
"Ohhh I bet you can see hog-nosed grotlies!" Luna said in a dreamy voice.
"A what?" Auralia was confused. She had loved her magical creature studies back in her 3rd year but she had never heard of hog-nosed grotlies.
"They are very rare creatures found in the lake. My father saw one once when he was a student."
"Luna do you know when we'll get our schedules?" Auralia took another bite of scrambled eggs.
"Today I believe, I hope we get some classes together."
"We can have classes together?"
"Yeah sometimes different houses have conjoined classes."
After spending most of the morning touring Hogwarts with Luna, they walked back to the great hall for lunch. They ate Lunch at the Ravenclaw table. Auralia received many odd stares from the Ravenclaws as well as some Slytherins.
"Oh! Look Auralia our schedules are here." She opened the envelope for her and smiled. Auralia looked down confused. Where had they come from?
"What?"
"We have defence against the dark arts together as well as charms.."
"Anything else?"
"Sadly no. It would have been fun to have divination together but you don't seem to be enrolled in the class." Luna said thoughtfully.
"No. Beauxbatons did not find it useful to teach the art of divination so I will be continuing ancient runes."
"Well we have class together next Monday and Wednesday. This week we have different classes."
The next two weeks were quite uneventful. She got the occasional glare from Pansy Parkinson (she had figured out her name in one of their many classes), the often smile from the 5th year Arin, and the dreamy gazes from many of the boys all around her. Only in her second herbology class did something interesting happen.
"Okay boys and girls get into partners and we will get started grooming the (research magical plants)."
Auralia pulled on some dragonhide gloves and waited for her normal partner Ariana Jones to come join her. Ariana Jones was a nice girl who didn't talk much but it was always worth listening when she did.
Looking over Auralia was startled to see the platinum blonde haired boy named Draco, if she was remembering correctly. This time he did not have the dreamy expression on his face.
"Umm, Pansy Parkinson is over in the corner looking quite en colére." Ilia noted.
"Well she will have to wait." He said in a cold tone.
Auralia grabbed the shears and snipped at a leaf on the top of the seemingly normal plant. Immediately vines unearthed themselves from the soil and lunged at her wrists. Vila have extraordinary strength compared to humans, and as if she was demonstrating that power Auralia grabbed onto the vines and squeezed. Immediately the vines fell limp and a purple liquid gushed through her fingers into a ready bowl.
"Good job Miss Laurent." Called Mrs sprout, a proud smile across her face. Auralia face blushed with pride and a little bit of embarrassment.
"Why are you just standing there?" She asked Draco quietly.
"You're pure blood aren't you?" He said in a smug voice, completely disregarding her question.
"What do you mean? Pure wizard?" She cut another leaf, letting the vines spring out before crushing them in her hands.
"Well of course. Almost everyone in Slytherin is." He said in an almost exasperated tone. "I'm a pureblood you know. A Malfoy, though I bet you already knew that." He leaned against the table, unknowingly in danger of getting strangled by the plant next to him.
"No I didn't know that, and I'm not a pure blood. My father was muggle born." Auralia let the vines wrap around Draco's arm. Surprise and fear mingled in his eyes. Leaning forwards so only he could hear she whispered in his ear. "Not that it matters, Petit garçon riche." His eyes widened with confusion and she used that moment to tear off the vines. She laughed. His shriek of pain was covered by the yells and screams of the other students as the wrestled with their own plants.
