Authors Note: I have no clue if I'm working this author's note right or not. Anyways, I just want to tell everyone that I realized I made a mistake. I said Dumbledore instead of McGonagall as the headmaster/mistress. I'll fix that later. This chapter is dedicated to Escape My Reality, who gave me my first ever review…ever. This one's dedicated to you and also, consider props taken. R&R!
Secret Rose
Chapter 2
Welcome to Wizards
The next morning, Saya felt something warm lightly touching her shoulder. She heard someone's soft and gentle voice as well, "Saya, you need to wake up."
She opened her eyes a crack to see Haji right in front of her face, only about six inches from her face. She sighed and then said, "Not even five more minutes?"
He shook his head. "I'm afraid not. That headmistress will be here shortly. About half an hour. You need to get ready."
She sighed once again. "Alright, but you have to go into the hall so that I can get dressed."
Haji nodded and then went out the door. Slowly, Saya pulled the covers off and stood up. She walked over to where her suitcase was and opened it, finding her white/light pink skirt, pink shirt, tan jacket, and tan boots. She loved this outfit and wore it all the time.
Saya got dressed, then went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and hair. Soon enough, she was on her way out and going to see Lewis, not sure where else to go.
When she got down there, Lewis was waiting for her. Saya sat down on one of the chairs pulled up to the island in the middle of the room, separating her from Lewis and the stove.
"Good morning Lewis." she said, smiling slightly for him.
"Good morning Saya. I have some toast if you want some." he said, pointing to a stack of toast with pinkish purple jam on it.
"No thanks. I was wondering, do you know where I'm supposed to be going?"
He chuckled a little, "Yeah, just go on up to the deck. She'll be here in about ten minutes, so you'd better hurry."
"Thanks Lewis. I have to say, I'm gonna miss your cooking while I'm gone." she said, smiling.
"Thank Saya, I'll miss you too. And don't worry, I'll make sure Kai and Riku behave while you're gone." he said, patting her head.
"Well, I have to go. See ya!" Saya called back, already leaving the room.
Saya and Haji walked up to the deck, finding David, Kai, Riku… well, everybody there. They all turned around to look at Saya and Haji when they heard footsteps.
"Ahhh, good morning. I hope that you slept well Saya," he said, and when Saya nodded he continued, "Professor McGonagall ought to be here in just a minute."
Just after he said that, there was a loud crack and they all turned to see a very strict looking woman standing before them. She had gray hair pulled into a tight bun and she was wearing a dark green robe.
"Hello, my name is Professor McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Who might you all be?"
"David."
"Kai."
"Joel."
"Julia."
"Riku."
"Haji."
"Saya."
"Well, it's very nice to meet you all. So who will be the ones attending my school this year?"
"Haji and I will ma'am." Saya said, pointing to Haji next to her.
"Really? How old are you two?"
Joel stepped in at this point, "Technically, Saya is 16, but she is immortal, as is Haji. They've both been alive since around 1870."
"That's quite interesting. I am very glad that you are agreeing to protect my students and staff from those monsters." she said, smiling slightly.
"Before you go, I think there are some things that need to be explained to you Professor McGonagall." Joel said, and then went on to explain everything. The two queens, chevalier, everything.
"I see. Well I'm still glad to have them both nonetheless." she said, looking at the two "teens" with a look of interest. "Shall we head off now?"
Saya nodded and Haji grabbed her bag and carried it over to McGonagall. McGonagall took out a pen and held it in front of them. "When I say three, grab onto the pen, it is something known as a portkey. It will take us to Diagon Alley where we will get your supplies. One… Two.. Three…"
Saya and Haji grabbed onto the pen and felt a tugging sensation in their stomachs. It felt as though they were being spun around. Saya felt herself fall onto something. She opened her eyes to find that Haji had caught her before she fell onto the ground.
She blushed a little when she noticed she was being held bridal style, "Um… thanks Haji. I got it from here." He nodded and then let her down.
Saya just noticed where she was. All around her were odd looking shops, some bright and cheery and others dark and gloomy. What surprised her the most were the people. They were wearing very weird clothing. One man, she saw, was wearing a dark green robe, purple shoes, and a bright orange hat.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley." McGonagall smiled. "We need to get you potions supplies, wands, books, and robes. Let's get your books first." she said, and led them into a bright shop where on the walls, all there was were bookshelves.
McGonagall walked up to the counter and said, "Two sets of 7th year books please."
The man behind the counter nodded and went around collecting some books. Soon enough McGonagall paid the man and they were back outside.
"I suppose we'll go ahead and get your robes." she said, leading them to another cheery looking shop, however this one was much smaller.
"Ah! Professor McGonagall, hello. What can I do for you today?" asked a short blonde woman.
"We have two transfer students this year and they will be needing some robes." she said, smiling at the woman.
"I see. Well, how about we start with this gentleman," she said, nodding towards Haji. "What is your name, son?
"Haji." came the short reply.
"Well then Haji, if you could, please hold out your arms so that I can take your measurements." she said, getting out a tape measure that went flying towards Haji, taking his measurements.
"Alright, I'll be right back." she said, walking into a back room.
Soon enough, she was back with clothes for Haji. She then proceeded to measure Saya, commenting on her nice figure, making Saya blush. Soon enough, they were on their way once again.
McGonagall led them to a place to get their ingredients for potions. The apothecary looked very dark and had weird things inside, making Saya decide to stay outside with Haji.
Haji was over looking at some brooms, with Saya standing right next to him. She was looking at the clouds when she felt someone run into her and found herself on the ground.
"Ow! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you." said a bright red headed kid, who was still looking down at the ground. He stood up, still not looking.
"Are you okay?" that's when he looked, seeing the beautiful young girl on the ground. "Oh geez, let me help you up-" but he was already too late as Haji was already helping her up. "Never mind…"
McGonagall walked out and spotted the red head. "Aah… Mr. Weasley, I think your mother is calling for you."
The redhead nodded and than ran off. "I see you met Mr. Weasley."
"Yeah, he accidentally ran into me. No worries." Saya said, then smiled.
McGonagall nodded, "Now before I forget, you also have the option of bringing a pet to school with you. You can get either a toad, a cat, or an owl. Or if you don't want a pet, we can just go get your wand and be done with the shopping." she said.
"Hmm… I think I will be okay, thanks for the offer though." Saya said.
"Well alright then, now for your wands." she said, leading them to a rather small, dusty shop called Ollivander's.
"Ah, hello Professor McGonagall. Transfers I take it?"
"As always, you are correct. This is Saya and this is Haji." McGonagall said, nodding to each teenager.
"Hello. Who would like to go first?"
"I suppose I will." Saya said.
"If you could, please hold out your wand arm. The hand that you write with." he added, seeing her confused look.
Saya held out her right hand and another flying tape measure began to measure her. During the measurements, Ollivander disappeared somewhere in the shop. He came back holding a long slender box.
He took out the wand and handed it to Saya. "Go on, give it a flick."
Saya flicked the wand and she felt an instant warmth run throughout her hand. Out of nowhere, pink sparks danced in the middle of the room.
"Hmm… that's very rare, wands usually don't take to the owner on the first try. Anyways, that's a very nice, very powerful wand you have there. It's cherry, 10 ½ inches, unicorn hair."
Saya smiled and then stepped back while Haji stepped forward to get his. He held out his left hand and the measuring tape once again took measurements, and once again Ollivander disappeared somewhere. He came back with a long, think box as well and held the wand out.
Haji took the wand and there was a light purple glow. "Two? That's very odd, very odd indeed. That wand is 12 inches, oak, dragon heartstring core. It's also quite powerful."
Haji nodded. "Well thank you Mr. Ollivander, I shall pay you and then we'll be own our way." McGonagall said, giving the man a couple gold and silver coins.
The three walked outside and McGonagall spoke, "Well, it seems that is all the shopping to be done. There is one week until term begins, and until then, you will be staying with some very good friends of mine, the Weasleys, and their children."
"Now, if you will take my hand, I can apparate us directly to their home."
"Apparate?" Haji asked.
"It's kind of like a portkey, except that I just focus on where I want to go and I appear there." McGonagall explained.
"Oh, I see. Alright then." Saya said, as she held on to her hand and Haji grabbed her sleeve. Soon, they felt another tugging sensation, it felt as though they were being pulled in several directions. This time, both Haji and Saya landed on their feet. They found themselves in a grassy field.
"Welcome to the Burrow."
