'Thoughts'
He sat up slowly Well he was now a she. Eventually she calmed down and other memories slowly came to her. It was September the first today as she saw by the chart on the wall she made in her previous life also. She also remembered her name was now Poppy. She also noticed she did not have the lighting scar but had memories from a few weeks back of how she still some how survived the killing curse. Poppy knew she was not originally from here but the more she calmed the more she forgot about her past life.
She still had some knowledge of her school subjects but more and more about her past life she forgot. Like being Harry was all just a dream. She also remembered meeting a friendly girl, when she was getting her robes fitted at Madam Malkins as well as having the sense to get some more suitable clothing this time around. This time around there was now snow owl and she felt a small pang of pain. But guessed this was what death meant not everything would be the same.
Well another was clearly obvious she was now a girl. It was still early but other memories she had some where awful very awful that even made her shed a few tears but she did not have to worry anymore one day those ones would pay for what they did. It wasn't Hagrid who took her to get her school supplies this time but Professor McGonagal. Feeling she may be more comfortable with a female taking her around. In all honesty she was right. She had memories of being confused when it came to underwear shopping which the kind but stern old witch was very comforting and kind to her. She remembered more of her conversation with kind girl, surprisingly it was Pansy Parkinson. Poppy also was also hoping to go to what house her new, dare she say it friend went which was likely to be Slytherin or Ravenclaw.
Even before she came back here she realised ever since meeting Pansy she wanted to be in Slytherin. The girl did not give any bailed views to the other houses but a smart and logical view to them all. So did McGonagal. So Poppy also realised she was not influenced by Hagrid's biased options this time. So by an extent she would not be by Ron's either. As she saw it unlikely she would ever be friends with him again.
She decided to get up and be ready for the day she had a quiet shower praying she did not wake the Dursley's. Then she got ready for the day. She did not want to go to the station in her witches robes she change on the train. So she put on a emerald skirt and a white blouse. Put on her slip on flats. Then scrunched her face up. Her hair turned blonde, she had cold grey eyes and pale skin. With the transport she was about to take she did not want to be recognised and wanted a peaceful journey. She took down the chart and made sure she did not forget anything she wanted to bring and quietly left the house.
She was glad McGonagal had suggested getting a special trunk as it was feather light. It had cost more but she realised her trust vault, which is the only vault she currently has access to had more than enough to get her through seven years of schooling. As it was also refilled each July on her birthday. She quietly went to a side street. Where there were no houses but cars parked down here. She stuck out her wand arm like McGonagal had instructed and a loud bang happens and a triple decker purple bus appeared.
"Welcome to the night bus emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shuntpike and I will be your conductor this morning." She recognised him before he was about 6 years old just of age' and was a huge flirt with her when McGonagal took her on here the first time to Diagon Alley and on the way back. She did not want a repeat. So she decided to use one of her gifts that McGongal told her how to use properly. She was surprised how well she just seemed to fit in to being Poppy when she was Harry for twenty four years.
"Oh thought I may have saw young Poppy." She looked at him coldly. "You know her miss?"
"No now may I please get on I need to get to Kings Cross station." She said coldly.
"Of course miss allow me to help you with that." Which Poppy allowed. He stowed it away in a luggage rack on the bottom floor.
"Right miss what's your name if I may ask."
"Well you already have and it is Harriet, Harriet Smith. Oh and before you try flirt with me I'd advise against it if you like your body the way it is." She said darkly and coldly.
Stan shuddered. "Oh n-me-never would with a customer miss um we that's four sickles to get to Kings Cross." Poppy pulled out four silver coins and dropped them into his hands then headed for the top of the bus without another word to him.
She had no clue where that cold and dark attitude came from but she liked it. She Remembered seeing Pansy do it to great success and thought maybe she'd try it out for her self.
With a bang the bus was traveling along a bumpy forest road. Loads of chairs fell over but she was alone on the top deck and grabbed a candle bracket quick enough. After this she went back to her thoughts and giggled slightly, and realised something she admired Pansy her attitude personality and confidence. "Never thought I'd ever look up to Pansy Parkinson" she said quietly. After about five minuets the bus stopped but there was another bang and they were whizzing through London. Of course she did not fall again, being far too prepare.
Stan came up and told her they were nearly there she did not respond but followed him down. Eventually the bus stopped and he placed her trunk carefully off the bus. Unlike over customers where he threw it off and without another look at him she walked off pulling her trunk. She looked at the watch she bought in Diagon Alley at it showed ten o clock. So he decided to go to a cafe in Kings Cross to grab a quick bite to eat. She transferred a small amount of her gold to Muggle money for emergency or just in case.
It got to half ten and she decided to quickly go to the toilet to rearrange her normal appearance then go to platform nine and three quarters. She stepped out two minuets latter. With ever so slightly dark skin from the previous pale look are regular long black perfectly straight hair and emerald eyes. She then went to where McGonagal said to go and descrelty slid through. She realised again as she slipped though all this time she never thought about being Harry once. It was not like being a 24 year old in an eleven year olds body, it was like being an eleven year old girl mentally like she physically was with just having a few ideas of what was going to happen in the future. As well as being rather smart. She felt by this time next year she would never even remember once about being Harry and would fully forget about her former life. With school coming naturally and her task death had set her just happening without her remembering death set it to her or even remember meeting her.
As she pushed her trunk on a cart through the station someone tapped her on the back and Poppy turned around.
"Poppy it is you!" A girl beamed with black hair and brown eyes. Then she flung her arms around him.
"Hey Pansy!" Poppy beamed back, as well as hugging her back.
"You look ever so much cuter since we went shopping, and we got you out of those rags." Pansy said kindly.
"Thanks." She smiled widely. "And thanks for the help."
"No problem what are friends for." She said linking arms with Poppy as she put one hand on Poppy trolley while Poppy had one hand on it as well.
Poppy smiled. "Yeah."
"Come on Poppy I got us a compartment up ahead."
"Brilliant." Poppy said.
The two girls pushed Poppy cart up the platform towards the back of the train. Pansy had got them the very last compartment it was that they were all full, but would probably be more peaceful back here.
Pansy and Poppy lifted Poppy trunk into the luggage rack and sat down. Poppy by the window and Pansy opposite her also next to the window.
It was at this point a girl around Poppy height came in she had long blonde hair and was with a girl with shoulder length brown hair.
"Hey Pansy just went to find Tracey mind if she sits with us?" The girl named Tracy seamed a little shy.
"Not at all Daph not at all." She beamed.
"There you go Trace." The Blonde girl beamed.
She nodded quiet and her blonder friend helped her lift her trunk up into the luggage rack.
The Blonde girl sat on the same side as Poppy just one seat a way and the shy brown haired girl named Tracy opposite her.
She turned to Poppy and beamed "I'm Daphne by the way Daphne Greengrass, but Daphne way to long and formal between friends so call me Daph. Oh and the shy one over there is Tracy Davis." The brown haired girl seemed to shrink into her self. "Oh lighten up Trace." Daphne giggled. "So what's your name?" Daphne asked.
Poppy smiled "Poppy Potter pleasure."
Daphne and even Tracey gapped. "Pansy why didn't you tell me you knew Poppy Potter!" Daphne said in a falsely angry tone with a wide smile on her face.
"You never asked. Knowledge is power after all Daph."
"True I did not but its not every day, you meet the most famous child in the wizarding world." Poppy blushed.
The other three girls laughed Poppy shyness seamed to bring Tracy out of shell a bit making her realise she was not the only shy one.
"But you are right Pansy Knowledge is power." All four girls laughed.
After this the train began to pull out the station and began pulling out the station. Poppy heart leaped with excitement with her going to begin her new life and her old life was now well and truly over.
They girls chatted a lot Pansy had brought many copies of a magazine named Witch Weekly it seemed like one of the gossip magazines Aunt Petunia read. But surprisingly Poppy liked it. She also saw some nice clothing she intended to order. It also turned out Pansy's farther owned Witch Weekly and her mother was the editor in the chief so she could get all the girls free subscriptions.
Around elven o clock Ronald Weasley pocked his head in. "Um excuses me have you seen Poppy Potter it just I fell she gonna need someone to help her and well be her best friend and boy friend I heard she rather attractive. I'm Ron Weasley by the way."
"Oh Weasley trying to drag someone with a future to your level you pathetic little blood traitor." Pansy said and the other three giggled.
Ron burned red with anger. "Oh I know who you are, your a Parkinson I know your family all dark and no light who runs a slanderous tabloid."
Pansy and the other giggled. "Whatever lets you sleep at night Weasel." The three other girls giggled again but Poppy was the loudest hoping to get the red headed boys attention.
"Oi what's your name!?" He demanded of Poppy.
"Thought you'd already know since apparently your gonna be my best friend and boy friend. Thanks but no thanks. I have standards and let's just say your way to bellow it." Poppy came over pushed Weasley head out gently and slid the door shut. Smirking at his flabbergasted face. The other three girls laughed. As he stormed off in a huff.
"That was brilliant Pop." Daphne said excitedly.
"Thanks Danh don't suppose you have a wipe tho I can use to clean my hands after touching that thing."
The girls laughed. "Sure." She pulled one out of a pack Im her trunk and handed it to Poppy.
"Thanks."
"No prob Pop."
When she was done with it she slid open the window and chucked it out the window, not caring for the regard for the muggle country side.
Others came by Neville Longbottom twice once with Hermione Granger, looking for his toad. But they soon shooed the Mudblood away. Poppy surprisingly did not care about the word as her blood turned out to be pure, which she found out when she went to Gringotts. She found out when she was of age she had a lot of inheritance to come in and would be the richest Witch in Britan maybe even the world. The other one or well three who came by, was Draco Malfoy and his two friends Crabb and Goyal. He was very friendly to Poppy. Congratulating her on her fine taste in company. As well as how he heard how he dealt with Weasle and reminding him his place. Before he left he kissed Poppy knuckle on her right hand, and it was light her stomach hit the compartment floor and the other girls giggled. All three of the other girls thought Draco liked Poppy. Poppy had to admit he was rather attractive.
The girls all got a ton of sweets each and shared them between each other. By the end of the journey there were none left. They all got into their robes and locked their trunks and Pansy led the group of four off the train. They heard a booming voice of a giant man and the group of girls hovered at the back of the first year girls.
The group of four got into a boat and traveled swiftly and fastly up to Hogwarts castle. They were led to a large front door where McGongal took them from to an entrance hall where they waited for a bit. Where Granger was being a big head wondering how she'd impress everyone to get sorted. Where as Weasley was telling anyone who would listen they would have to wrestle a troll.
When they came into the Hall Granger was being even more annoying telling or trying to tell everyone that the ceilings not real but bewitched to look like the night sky.
They came into a line in front of a hat on a three legged stool that sang a song about the different qualities of the Hogwarts houses and what types of students it takes. Poppy did not pay much attention to the sorting apart from where her friends went as well as Draco Malfoy and his two friends. Them three went to Slytherin along with Tracy and Daphne as well as another girl named Millicent Bulstrode. The Mudblood went to Gryffindor but Poppy did not really care much from them. It was her impression they seemed a rowdy, rambunctiousand uncivilised bunch. Poppy personally did not like them. Something she was pleased to she Pansy seemed to think as well.
It soon came to Pansy sorting and she smiled quickly at Poppy and said, "See you soon." The hat cried Slytherin. Then a pair of twin girls were sorted Patil and Patil. One going to Gryffindor and one to Ravenclaw and then McGonagal called "Potter Poppy." The last thing Poppy saw before the hat fell over her eyes was everyone trying to get a good look at her.
"Oh so we meet again Mister or well I should now say Miss Potter I'm glad to see this time you want to go to the right place."
'Sorry pardon.'
"Oh don't worry none can here this but you and I oh and I'm bound by secrecy and loyalty to the school that I can not reveal what I see in your head. It seems you use to be Harry Potter the Gryffindor who should have been a Slytherin. No worries this is not who you are anymore. Oh and yes you are correct eventually you will forget about him entirely. But you will be a very bright young witch with your goal naturally happening. But there is only one place for you SLYTHERIN!" It bellowed the last part to the hall to stunned silence then the Slyhtherin table began to applaud and Poppy sank into a spot next to Pansy.
The rest of the sorting passed by the last to be sorted was Blaise Zabini and he came to Slytherin. The one before him to be sorted was Ron Weasley who went to Gryffindor. Dumbledore gave a speech of how the third floor corridor on the right hand side was out of bounds and reminding students to stay out of the forbidden forest. With that the feast began. Poppy was glad her back was to the Gryffindor table because she caught of glimpse of Ron Weasley and he was eating like he had never eaten before making her feel ill.
After the feast ended they sung the school song and with that headed down to the Slytherin common room. The girls first year girls dormitory was next to the boys. Poppy bed was next to a window the looked out into the lake. Pansy's bed was opposite her Daphne next to her Tracy opposite her with Millicent who asked to be called Mille. Next to Tracy.
The girls dormitory was a relaxing and comfortable place. With five black oak four poster king sized beds with emerald silk bedding and emerald velvet hangings. The beds had many cushions for relaxing as well. There was a wardrobe and a bed side cabinet for each girl. They had a black arm chair next to their beds, like the ones in the common room. They had a large book shelve with space for there books if they wished with some already on them. In the middle was a heater. Next to it two sofas with a coffee table in the middle. They had a bathroom with five sinks five showers and toilets and a bath tub like the size of a small swimming pool with a large amount of taps.
The girls unpacked chatting away but as soon as Poppy had drew her hangings shut, she was asleep as soon as her head it the pillow.
