Chapter Three

"Hey, hey butterfly, it's time to get up." Sarah ran her fingers through April's hair as her eyes opened.

"Why are we up so early?" April asked sleepily as she grabbed her stuffed toy and sat up.

"Well we need to have time to shower, get dressed, eat, and then get our schedules." Sarah smiled. "Now, you showered last night so you just need to dress. I picked it out for you."

"It's all red and yellow." April said, looking at Sarah.

"That's Gryffindors colors and since you can't wear the uniform, I got you the colors."

"Oh, okay!" April said brightly. "I can dress myself." She had yellow leggings, a red long sleeve dress, and regular trainers.

"I know you can, just go to the bathroom and shout if you need help."

April came out a few minutes later in her outfit, let Sarah tie her shoes, and grabbed her hand before they went down the stairs. Hermione and Ron were down there and the four left for breakfast. People still looked in confusion at April but didn't say anything. Malfoy did a fainting impression the second Sarah walked in but she ignored him. They found the twins and April made sure she and Sarah were next to George.

"New third year schedules." George handed the three their schedules before April gave him a big hug. He grinned at Sarah who rolled her eyes but smiled.

"Ooh, good we're starting some new subjects today." Hermione said as she looked at her schedule.

"Hermione, they've messed up your schedule." Ron said with a frown. Look, they have you down for ten subjects today. There's not enough time."

"Sarah, can I have some eggs?"

"You know you don't have to ask, April." Sarah smiled and April nodded before grabbing a spoonful of eggs.

"C'mon, we need to get to Divination."

"Ron, remember, I'm taking Arithmancy." Ron looked upset. "Sorry but I'm more interested in numbers that crystal balls."

"Oh, well see you in Transfiguration." Ron said and Sarah nodded but before she could get up, George had pulled her into a deep kiss. Catcalls were heard and April covered her eyes.

"Yuck!" George eventually pulled back with a grin and she smiled before telling April it was okay. "That's yucky."

"Well when you're much older, you'll do that."

"No, it's too yucky." She said and Sarah grinned before leading April out of the Great Hall. When they arrived to Arithmancy, the teacher, Professor Vector, who was known for being very strict smiled at April.

"You must be April. I'm Professor Vector." April waved. "I'm happy to have you in class but I have just one request. When a lecture is going on, all you have to do is be silent until it's over. Can you do that?"

"Yeah, Sarah taught me when people need silence and people need noise!" April said cheerfully. "I won't interrupt."

"Okay, then you and Miss. Potter find a seat anywhere." Sarah spotted Hermione, confusing her, but shrugged it off. She thought she had Divination with Ron.

"Hey, how are you?" Sarah sat next to Hermione as Professor Vector conjured a small plastic chair for April who thanked her with a little kid grin. Hermione shrugged and Sarah sighed.

"Sarah," A Ravenclaw she recognized as Padma Patil leaned over, "why is there a little girl with you?"

"Well-"

"Okay, since everyone is here, I want introduce a special guest. This is April, a special girl who will be in our class." Sarah smiled at the teacher's words and brushed a loose strand of shy April's hair. April was trying to hide her face behind Sarah's arm. "Anyway, all of you take out you're book, Numerology and Grammatica, and turn to page five."

April looked at the huge book and made a quiet noise, only noticed by Sarah who tugged April's ponytail gently. When class was over, Professor Vector praised April for the way she listened to directions. April grinned and took Sarah's hand as they walked out of the class room.

"She's right. You did very well, butterfly."

"That book was so big!" She exclaimed and Sarah smiled warmly. April was just a sweet, curious girl which was wonderful. "And you have to read the whole thing by the end of the year?"

"Yes, but I'm pretty smart."

"Where are we going now?"

"Transfiguration. Remember that lady you met when we got off the carriages?" April nodded. "That's the teacher."

"Okay!"

After an interesting class, learning that in Divination class, Professor Trelawney had predicted her death. She ended up having to take April out for a few minutes so she could calm down. Hermione wacked Ron in the back of the head for saying that in front of April, just a five year old. They came in and April apologized for interrupting but the woman just nodded and gestured for them to sit.

Hermione reprimanded Ron for saying that Sarah was going to die from the Grim in front of April as they headed to Hagrids hut for Care of Magical Creatures. When they got there, April squeaked and hid behind Sarah when Hagrid headed over.

"Don't worry April, this is just Hagrid. He's very nice." April slowly moved to see the half giant.

"Hello there, yeh must be April." Hagrid smiled. "I'm Hagrid."

"H-Hello." April said and Sarah smiled along with Hagrid.

"Right, everyone follow me." Hagrid called once all the Gryffindors and Slytherins were there. Sarah for one wild second thought they were going into the Forbidden Forest but the group just walked around them and came to a Paddock.

"Everyone gather 'round the fence here!" Hagrid called. "That's it-make sure yeh can see-now, firs' thing yeh'll want ter do is open yer books-"

"How?" Malfoy drawled.

"Eh?"

"How do we open our books?" It showed that everyone had tied their books shut someway. No one noticed Sarah nod to April with a grin.

"Hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books?" Before anyone could answer, April waved her hand in the air. Stretching her arm so Hagrid could see the little girl. "April?"

"I figured it out! I even figured it out before Sarah." She grabbed the book, took off the belt and instantly ran her hand down the spine. It shivered and fell open. "It's like a dog that likes it's back pet! It makes the book happy."

"Very good, April. You just stroke the spine." The students looked at each other before doing what April said. The Slytherins were annoyed that a little girl outsmarted them.

"Ooooh!" Lavender Brown said and they all looked over.

Instead of being scared, April moved close to the paddock. Trotting in were the strangest creatures Sarah had ever seen. They had the bodies, hind legs, and tails of a horse but the front legs, wings, and heads of what seemed to be giant eagles.

"Sarah, look!" April said and Sarah sighed before pulling her back so she was holding her hand.

"Hippogriffs! Aren' they beautiful!" April nodded vigorously and Sarah chuckled. "So, if yeh wan' ter come a bit nearer-"

April started to move but Sarah shook her head. She asked Hermione if she could watch April, to make sure she didn't try and get near the Hippogriffs, which the bookish girl agreed to with a smile. Sarah then went forward cautiously. Hagrid grinned and the girl climbed over the fence.

"Jus' bow and wait for him to bow back." Hagrid said and Sarah did, her eyes watching his the whole time.

The Hippogriff surprisingly bowed back. She then patted his beak which seemed to please Buckbeak. Then she rode him, well was forced to ride by Hagrid. When she came back down everyone but Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle cheered. April hugged her tightly and Sarah smiled. Hagrid then let others see the Hippogriffs and Sarah reluctantly let April see the one Ron and Hermione were at as long as she watched closely. The creature instantly bowed for April but she didn't just pat it's beak, she scratched its neck and plumage, causing the thing to look like it was in heaven.

"I'm gonna name you…Jessie." April said as she pet the Hippogriff. It closed it's eyes in contentment and April grinned.

"I think he likes the name, butterfly."

"Why do you call her butterfly?" Hermione asked.

"Because the first thing she told me was she liked butterflies and so I started calling her that."

Just then there was a commotion and she held April back as they watched Malfoy verbally attack Buckbeak by calling him a great ugly brute. Of course the Hippogriff reacted and it reared back before bringing its talons down and cutting Malfoy's arm. The blonde curled onto the ground and April turned her head away so she didn't see the blood. She was already shaking. Hagrid then picked him up and took the boy to the castle. Everyone started to leave but Sarah had to kneel in front of April.

"Hey, it's okay butterfly. He'll be okay."

"But they'll be mean to Buckbeak." She said and Sarah almost laughed at where the little girls worry was.

"C'mon, let's find George."
