Chapter 1 - Interesting start to the year
I would never, ever, ever admit it to anyone but I was incredibly nervous for going to Hogwarts for the first time. Would I get along with people? Which house would I get sorted into? Now that would be the million dollar question. My mum and dad were in Ravenclaw and Gryffindor but my older twin brothers Abe and Addy are in Hufflepuff and Slytherin. We are a mixed bunch. My brothers are Abbas James Hyde, he's the one in Hufflepuff and is always keeping the peace between me and my siblings, and his twin is Adair Sirius Hyde in Slytherin. My full name is Aurora-Shaw Lilly Hyde but I prefer to go by Ash. I also have a twin sister, Allie Rose Hyde. I am older but she is incredibly smarter and that's not something I'm too bothered about. Me and Allie are pale like my dad but we've got our mum's reddy brown hair. The only difference between me and Allie is our eyes. I have my mum's bright blue eyes and Allie has dad's chocolate brown eyes. My brothers both have dad's eyes too and my dad's chocolate brown hair.
"Ash!" I heard my mum call.
"Yeah mum?" I asked.
"We're at the station, move your butt!" She smiles at me. My mum can get easily excited over anything. It's quite funny. I just role my eyes and get out of the car. Abe and dad come back with the trolleys. I slip out of the car while Abe's lifting my trunk onto the last cart. Then the rest of them are gone before I know it. I had to sprint to catch up. I arrive at the wall to 9 3/4 while Allie is going through and only mum is left behind.
"Come on Ash, your head's been in the gutter all day. You're not nervous, are you?" Mum asked.
"Nah." I told you I wouldn't admit it. "I'm just thinking about which house I'll go in."
"Well it doesn't matter to me and your father which house you are in, just as long as you are happy. Now, come on." Mum smiled then disappeared through the wall while I heard people bustling behind me. They were obviously wizards plus they were all ginger. I noticed my shoe lace was undone so I moved my trolley out of the way.
"Percy, go on love." The ginger woman said to one of her sons who then went through the gate.
"Fred, George..." She continued.
"Excuse me?" I small boy with black hair and green eyes asked the woman. "Do you...?" He trailed off pointing at the gate.
"Your first year love?" She asked then he nodded. "Don't worry, it's Ron's first year too. You just have to run at it if you are nervous. Are you alright, love? First year, too?" She asked me.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Well just follow Ron and this young boy." She smiled at me so I nodded. She then disappeared through the gate with her husband and daughter after the twin's boys.
"Ladies first." Ron smiled at me.
"Oh good, chivalry isn't dead." I grinned making both boys laugh. "See you on the other side." I then flew through the gate. My mum, dad, Abe and Allie were still waiting for me.
"Finally. Come on Ced." Abe smiled at me.
"Oi! I do not think so, you can carry my trunk boy." I ordered.
"I'll help." Cedric Diggory smiled at me.
"Fine, come on." Abe rolled his eyes then they both walked off with my trunk.
"Ash's gotta crush." Allie whispered in my ear.
"Shut the hell up." I replied.
"No swearing." Dad ordered.
"Now girls don't worry about your year and if you want to come home for Christmas or stay with your friends at Hogwarts it's up to you." Mum smiled.
"Okay mom." Me and Allie chorused.
"Bye girls. Have fun." Dad smiled kissing us both on our heads after we hugged mum.
"Come on, the train will be leaving in a minute." I said pulling Allie onto the train. We walked up to the train finding a compartment until I found a fairly empty one with Ron and the other boy in it.
"Mind if I share?" I asked the boys.
"Go ahead." Ron smiled at me.
"They're you go. I'm going to share with Hannah." Allie said while I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Ron.
"You don't like Hannah?" Ron asked.
"Not really. My twin is the smartest person I know and her best friend is a complete air head." I sighed. "She's Allie. I'm Ash Hyde."
"Ron Weasley." Ron said shaking my hand.
"Harry Potter." Harry said to me. I was stunned.
"It's nice to meet you both." I smiled.
"It's nice to meet you both? That's Harry Potter!" Ron said.
"I know who he is!" I snapped. They both looked at me worriedly. "I'm sorry. Our mum's were best friends. Your parents were my godparents. You're my god brother. My middle name is Lily after your mum. And technically, as a baby, you saved my life and my families lives."
"How?" Harry asked me.
"Well, after he was done with your family on that night, he was going to travel the mile from your house to my old house to kill all of us. But he didn't because you got rid of him." I told him.
"You mean Voldermort?" Harry said his name with no problem. Ron gasped next to me, I just looked at him curiously. "Sorry." He muttered.
"Don't be sorry. But why do you say his name?" I asked.
"I wasn't brought up not to say it. Not to fear his name." Harry said.
"We shouldn't fear his name. Especially not you. Voldermort." I said. Ron gasped again. I rolled my eyes.
"I've never had a sister." Harry smiled.
"Can we talk about something else instead of you-know-who?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, sure." Harry replied.
"I know a spell that my brother, Fred taught me. It turns my rat, Scabbers, yellow."
"I doubt it will work." I sang grinning at him.
"Are you doing some magic?" A girl with bushy brown hair asked Ron.
"Nah. He was telling us about a spell his brother told him. It's a fake and it won't work." I said.
"Oh okay." She said.
"Unlike Reparo." I said tapping Harry's glasses.
"Wow." Ron exclaimed.
"Thanks." Harry smiled.
"My names Ash Hyde. Do you want to come sit with us for a bit?" I asked.
"Sure for a couple minutes. I'm Hermione. I'm helping my friend Neville find his toad, have you seen one?"
"No we haven't. I'm Ron Weasley."
"Harry Potter."
"Harry Potter? I've read about you." Hermione gushed while a boy with bright blonde hair appeared at the door.
"So it's true what they're saying. Harry Potter's come to Hogwarts. I'm Draco Malfoy." He said putting his hand out to Harry. I snorted when he said his name. "You think my name is funny?" He asked me.
"Not funny per se, just the fact that you are a Malfoy. Slytherin family born and bred not to mention complete supporters of you-know-who. Your father still has his dark mark, right? The same with your aunt?" I said with a sweet smile on my face. He just looked at me amused.
"And who might you be?" Malfoy said smiling at me.
"Aurora-Shaw Hyde." I said.
"My little sister." Addy said in a bored tone walking forward to stand next to Malfoy.
"You should be careful with which families you associate with, Potter. The Hyde's are a fine pure blood family. Unlike the blood-traitor Weasley's. Or even this little muggle-born. The same goes for you Aurora."
"Why you..." I growled before I was cut off.
"I think I can choose the people I associate with myself, Malfoy." Harry said smiling while the rest of us were glaring at Malfoy.
"So basically get lost Malfoy." I said. Malfoy scoffed then walked off with his crew just leaving Addy. "What do you want Addy?"
"I need to find Allie and Abe, do you know where they are?"
"Abe's with Cedric Diggory and Allie's with Hannah Abbott." I replied then he walked off. I sighed. "Well that was fun." I said making Harry, Ron and Hermione burst out laughing.
"Yeah. I need to help Neville find his toad and we need to change into our robes." Hermione smiled getting up.
"Yeah, yeah." Ron said.
"See you guys later." Hermione said while skipping out of the compartment.
"I believe our year is going to be very interesting." I chuckled then slipped out to change.
