Soon the day came I was going to Hogwarts I had gotten a barn owl and called her Silver. I was checking I had Everything when I heard Blade (Eric) come into my room.
"Hey Asher, you all packed?" Eric asked
"Pretty much, Just need one last thing" I said
"What?" Eric said he looked worried
"Syrum" I said looking to him
"Come on" Eric said he grabbed a load of Syrum injections and handed them to me "do you think it will be enough?"
If I start running out I'll send Silver with a note" I said placing them into my trunk
"Are you sure you'll be ok?" Eric asked
"I'll be fine, but I think I should get changed out of my Pajamas before I go" I chuckled
"I'm just worried about you" Eric said
"Blade I ghost Vampires with you everyday, i'm sure going to school will be a piece of cake compared to that" I laughed "Now out my room while I change"
Eric left and I got changed. Polyvore: Kings Cross (Asher)
When I came out I saw Abraham sat with Eric, they hadn't seen me yet.
"She's right, you trust her to ghost vampires with you, school isn't going to be a problem" Whistler smiled
"I know We'll come with you as far as we can and see you off" Eric said I nodded as Hagrid turned up
"Ready to go?" Hagrid asked, I just nodded and the four of us headed off When we got to Kings Hagrid gave me the ticket for the train and lef tI read the ticket and swore
"Whats wrong?" Eric asked
"How the hell do I get to platform nine and three quarters?" I replied as we got to platforms nine and ten
"Maybe you have to run at the wall between the two" Abraham Whistler suggested as a joke
"Theres a family with Owls and stuff, I'll ask one of them" I smiled and headed over to them and addressed the black haired woman "Excuse me do you know how to get to platform nine and three quarters?"
"Like we would tell a muggle born like yourself" The women snarled and walked past along with the younger of the black haired boys and the man I assumed was her husband the older boy with them hung back, he like his family had black hair it was quite long.
"Sorry about them, Follow me i'll show you, Where are your things" The boy asked
"Over here" I smiled and went to get my things of Eric and Abraham "See you during the holidays"
"see you soon" Both of them smiled, I gave them a hug and followed the boy who ran at the wall between nine and ten I turned back to Abraham and Eric
"Well, What do you know you were right Whistler" I smiled he laughed and I walked towards the barrier and through onto a crowded train
"Let's go, you can come sit with me and my friends and we can tell you about Hogwarts, my names Sirius, by the way, Sirius Black" He smiled as he began to walk towards the train "What about you? What's your name?"
I thought about telling him it was Asher but I knew people would know my first name once I started classes.
"Casey Daira" I sighed as we stopped outside a compartment on the train. Sirius opened the door and smiled at the three boys there, one with messy black hair and glasses, a sandy haired scared boy reading and a short plump boy.
"Cool, Well that's Jame's Potter, the book worm there is Remus Lupin and the short one is Peter Pettigrew" Sirius beamed
"Who's the chick?" James grinned earning a glare from me.
"Casey Daira" Sirius smiled gesturing for me to sit down, I sat beside Remus who closed up his book. "Open a window James it's roasting in here"
James stood as he did a breeze blew into the compartment and I caught the smell of a werewolf. I immediatly became tense.
"What's Wrong?" Sirius asked looking at me
"Nothing doesn't matter" I smiled ignoring the smell. The four of us sat talking for hours when a red haired girl went passed stopped, looked in the compartment then came in.
"Hello, I'm Lily Evans and who are you?" The girl smiled looking at me
"Casey, Daira" I said
"Well we'll be arriving soon you'll want to change into your robes" Lily smiled, I got up, got my school robes and followed Lily out.
"Where can I get changed?" I asked
"In the toilets there" Lily pointed out
"Thanks" I smiled and went in to change, I changed into my robes and went back. We sat talking for a while longer and then the train came to a stop. We got of leaving our things on the train as told.
As we got of the train A booming voice carried over the crowds I turned to see Hagrid
"Firs' years this way" Hagrid called
"See you later guys" I smiled at the boys and headed straight over to Hagrid
"Hello Casey" Hagrid smiled seeing me
"Hey Hagrid" I smiled
He leads us to the boats I got in one with three others, I didn't talk as we travelled over the lake one of the others who was near the boat looked over the side to try and see the squid and fell in, I grabbed her with one hand and pulled her back into the boat as it started to pass. She said thanks, I just nodded.
Soon we were in the great hall. We were lined up in front of the teachers table, I didn't really pay much attention to the sorting I was busy taking in the wonderous splender that was the great hall four long table with students in different robe colours, Ghost sat amongst them, hundreds of candles floating around and the ceiling enchanted to look like the night sky making it seem as though the hall opened up to the sky itself.
"Daira, Casey" the stern witch McGonagal yelled. I walked up to the stool sat down and the hat that had suprised us first years by singing a song to welcome everyone back started to talk to me.
"You have an interesting mind dear, Brave, loyal, smart and will do whatever it takes to get a job done, you have a mind that works with traits of all four houses, but you tend to keep to yourself and get on with what needs to be done I think I know where to put you" The hat said to me then out loud "Hufflepuff!"
I got up my robes were changed to go with my house, I went and sat down at the table. After a while the feast began, the students where talking amongst each other, I looked at the food, I thought about taking some but I didn't need food I need to have some syrum all the students around me where making the thirst become unbearable. I sat trying to act as though no one was there, whuch is hard when the boy next to you is trying to get your attention to talk to you.
Soon the feast ended, the prefects lead us to the common room and told us how to get in, we then got through the tunnel entryway.
As I enetered I took in the lookm of the Hufflepuff common room. The common room is a large, earthy, round room with low ceilings.
"It is a quite cosy and welcoming place; it always feels view from the round windows is of dandelions and rippling grass." The female prefect smiled
The decor emphasises the earthy-feel of the room with plants hanging and resting all about the room, some that even sing and dance. Burnished copper touchings with plush, cosy yellow and black patterned sofas and chairs welcoming a Hufflepuff student to relax and discuss the interesting specimens brought in by the head of house, Professor Sprout.
The prefect told us where we would sleep and the rest of the Hufflepuff students retired through big, round doors in the walls of the common room to their dormitory.
I headed to my dorm and took some of the syrum out of my bag I headed to the common room and inject it, biting down on a metal bar as I did so, as the syrum normally causes pain and I didn't want to bite down on my tongue, I relaxed as the subsitute for blood entered my own blood stream. I sat in an armchair by the fire in scilence when I heard footsteps behind me. It sounded as though they were trying to be quite.
"If your trying to sneak up on me there's no point" I said rolling my eyes
"You have good hearing you know?" It was a boys voice
"All my senses are stronger than normal people" I said as he sat beside me. It was the boy at who was trying to get my attention at the hufflepuff table.
"What do you mean normal people?" He asked then pointed at my empty syrum bottle, the needle and the metal bar "and what's that?"
"Just some medicine I need to take" I shrugged.
"I'm Amos by the way, Amos Diggory" The boy smiled holding his hand out for me to shake
"Casey" I said ignoring his hand
"How come you haven't gone to your dorm to sleep?" Amos asked
"I'm going now" I muttered gathered up my stuff and went to my dorm, I decided to try and sleep.
