AN: I know I haven't updated in a while and I feel really bad so please forgive me. I won't bore you guys with excuses, so I will just say thank you who favorite and followed this story. And now let's answer some questions.
wiccawhitewitchsmalltownguy: I will confirm that Andi will be receiving her own Book of Shadows so look out for that in the next chapter or so.
dream lighting: Wyatt and Chris will make appearances over holidays with the rest of the Halliwell gang, I don't know if I shall have them come to Hogwarts though. If I do it might be for some big event or something like that. Also I have pairings figured out but no one under the age of fourteen will be having a relationship right now. So you are going to have to bear with me.
bananas r gd: I only have one thing to say to you, enjoy you laugh ;)
pippen: I am going to have Draco face Andi's wrath soon but I don't think it will be in DADA. But it shall happen soon...
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Andi and my friend owns Cecelia. And also I didn't mention this in chapter 1 but the I did name some of the Halliwell kids in my story so sorry if that bugs you, I came up with the names Chloe, Emmy, Penelope and Patricia. Sorry if that confused you.
And now on with the story!
Soon the feast was over and everyone headed to their dormitories. Andi followed Percy as they walked through the halls.
"Gryffindors, follow me, please. Keep up. Thank you." He ordered calling all the other first years to him. They walked through the long hallways to the staircases. They stopped in front and the first years looked in amazement, "This is the most direct path to the dormitories." Percy told them. "Oh, and keep an eye on the stair cases. They like to change." Andi looked up to see endless staircases with some moving.
'That is kind of cool but if we did that to the staircases at magic school we'd get into trouble for misuse of magic for personal gain.' She thought.
"Keep up, please, and follow me." Percy commanded catching their attention as he began to climb a staircase to their left. "Quickly now, come on. Come on." They all climbed after him and watched all around as the portraits moved around and greeted them. Andi smiled as she walked up the steps. Soon Percy led them down a long hallway and stopped in front of a portrait with a fat woman in it.
'What's with the picture of the fat lady? They have some weird taste.' Andi once again thought. Suddenly the portrait spoke to them.
"Password?" She asked.
"Caput Draconis." Percy answered. The woman extended her arm and the portrait swung open. "Follow me, everyone. Keep up. Quickly, come on." Percy said as he led them in and they were lead into a large room decorated with chairs, couches, and tables all in red. At the end of the room where stairs to lead to an upper level. "Gather around here." Percy requested as he stood in the middle of the room, they went to stand in front of him. "Welcome to the Gryffindor common room. Boy's dormitory's is upstairs and down to your left. Girls, the same on your right. You'll find all of your belongings have already been brought up." He told them he gave them a few more instructions and sent them on their way. Only Andi stayed behind.
"I have got to tell you Percy, this place is way cool." Andi commented.
"Well I am glad you like it Adrianne." He answered, "You had better head onto bed. Tomorrow is the first day of classes and you will want to be well rested." Andi nodded and walked upstairs to her dorm. When she got there she saw Hermione and 2 other girls there. She went to the only bed left that was by the window and began to look for her pajamas.
"You're Adrianne, right?" The Indian girl asked. Andi nodded.
"I prefer Andi, though." She answered.
"All right Andi, I'm Parvati Patil and this is Lavender Brown." She introduced herself and the blond girl with her. Andi nodded.
"Nice to meet you. Mind if I get first dibs on the bathroom? I am really quick." They shook their heads no and Andi quickly did her nightly routine and emerged in a blue owl t-shirt and matching pants. As Parvati and Lavender got ready for bed on the other side of the room she got out paper and pencil and penned a letter to her family,
Dear Everyone,
Well I made it to Hogwarts. It's definitely different than Magic School that's for sure. Wyatt, Chris you'll never believe the way it looks the first time around. I got sorted into the Gryffindor house which is for the courageous and bold. I'll tell you that story in another letter. I already have some awesome friends. Well I had better get off to bed I don't want to oversleep on the first day of school. I only wanted to write to tell you that I made it safely and I miss you all already. Write back.
Love,
Andi
Andi quickly attached the letter to Midnight and sent her off to the manor. As she was closing the window, Hermione came up to her.
"How did you move Neville's toad through the air without a wand? And freeze him in midair?!" She questioned. "I've read about wandless magic, it's supposed to take years to master. It's far beyond your capabilities-"
"Look, Hermione." Andi interrupted fiercely shocking the girl, "First of all it's not your place to assume what is or isn't beyond my capabilities. And I was born with those talents and many more. So if you don't mind, I would like to go to bed." With that Andi closed her curtains and got under the covers. As she fell asleep one thought came into her mind.
'I wonder what tomorrow will bring.'
(The Next Morning)
Andi woke up the next morning earlier then her roommates.
'Must still be on east coast time.' She realized. She quickly and quietly did her morning routine and dressed in her robes, for shoes she decided on her black high top sneakers with grey laces since she was wearing pants with her uniform. She also decided to let her hair lose with a purple and blue feather in it. After this she grabbed her messenger bag and went to the common room. There she saw Fred and George leaving.
"Hey Fred, George. Wait up." She called running down the stairs and out the portrait hole. She quickly caught up with them but had to stop to catch her breath.
"Slow down." Fred told her.
"Yes, we wouldn't want you to faint on us. Ollie would kill us." George piped up. Andi placed her hands on her hips.
"Didn't he tell say not to call him that or there would be consequences on the field, whatever that means." The two paled, "Don't worry I won't tell, on one condition."
"What?" They asked.
"Can one of you give me a ride down those stairs? I'm short so it would take me longer to get down them." They both smiled.
"Of course we can." George agreed.
"Yes, why on earth didn't you ask?" Fred asked taking her bag while George bent down and Andi scrambled onto his back. The twins ran to the Great Hall and the three laughed the whole way down. Soon they were eating breakfast when the rest of their friends joined. Near the end McGonagall passed out their schedules. Cecelia looked over Andi's.
"It looks like you have Transfiguration first with McGonagall, History of Magic with Professor Binns, Potions with Snape and flying with Madam Hooch. Good luck with Snape and Binns." Andi shrugged.
(Transfiguration)
"Face it guys, we're lost." Andi said as she Harry and Ron walked through the seemingly endless hallways trying to get to transfiguration.
"We know." Ron said. Soon Harry spotted someone in the hall that looked older than them.
"Look, let's ask them." A minute later and the three where rushing to get to the class room. The entered and saw their classmates there already in their seats along with a cat on the teacher's desk. They headed to the front and as they neared it Andi could feel annoyance running through Hermione. Ron sighed in relief.
"Made it!" He said to her and Harry. "Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?" He asked. Suddenly the cat sprang from the table transforming into Professor McGonagall who walked over to them. Andi's mouth dropped open.
"I can tell you because I'm staring at it." She answered, "And that was the one of the coolest things I have ever seen."
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron complemented.
"Well thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley." She answered smiling. "Perhaps it would be more useful, if I were to transfigure yourself, Mr. Potter, or Ms. Warren Halliwell into a pocket watch. That way one of you might be on time." She asked.
"We got lost." Harry explained and Andi and Ron quickly nodded to confirm it.
"Then perhaps a map?" She asked, "I trust you don't need one to find your seats." She walked away and the tree slid onto the bench with Harry in the middle. Soon Andi almost forgot the incident as she watched McGonagall demonstrate and discuss the aspects of transfiguration.
'This is beyond cool.'
(History of Magic)
When Andi had walked into her History of Magic class she hadn't known what to expect. Certainly not a ghost teacher who droned on and on. She felt her eyes drop again.
"Beam me out of here." She whispered to herself. To keep herself awake she pulled a sketch book out of her bag and turned to a blank page. She immediately began to sketch a drawing of the scene of her first view of Hogwarts from the lake. By the time the class ended she had a beautiful sketch with full detail and shadows.
'Not bad. Now I can paint a final copy on my easel.' She thought to herself as she slid it into her bag and went on to potions.
(Potions)
Andi sat next to Harry with her stuff set out for the class waiting patiently. Suddenly the door flew open and Professor Snape strode in straight to the front of the room.
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class." He began.
'Obviously!' Andi sarcastically thought.
"As such I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making." Professor Snape went on, "However for those select few," Here he seemed to look right at Malfoy. "who possesses the predisposition," He began to wrap himself up in his robes at this point.
"What is he, a vampire?" Andi asked under her breath while rolling her eyes.
"I can teach you to bewitch the mind, and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death." He told them, "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention." Andi followed her professor's gaze to see him looking straight at Harry. Hermione elbowed him and motioned towards the front, Harry looked up at their teacher who came closer. "Mr. Potter. Our new celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Hermione's hand shot up at this. Harry looked at her and then shook his head when he faced the front of the room.
"You don't know? Well let's try again." Professor Snape said. "Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Hermione's hand shot up again.
"I don't know sir." Harry answered.
"And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" Professor Snape asked. Hermione kept her hand up.
'Give it up already! He's never going to call on you.' Andi thought.
"I don't know sir." Harry answered. For some strange reason the Professor almost looked happy for a moment.
'Something's wrong.' Andi thought. 'I am getting strong feelings of dislike almost as if he hates Harry.'
"Pity." Professor Snape drawled, "Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it Mr. Potter?" As he turned around Andi patted Harry on the back.
"Don't feel bad Harry, those are really hard questions if someone doesn't have experience with potions or read about them." She consoled him quietly.
"Is that so, Ms. Warren Halliwell?" Professor Snape asked turning around. "Well why don't you stand up and answer them?" Andi could feel him being smug about it and narrowed her eyes.
'Oh it's ON.'
"Gladly, Professor." She stood up and faced him. "A combination of powdered root of asphodel and an infusion of wormwood creates a sleeping potion so powerful that it is known as the Draught of the Living Dead. A bezoar is a stone that is found in the stomach of a goat that will protect the user from most poisons. And there is absolutely zero difference between monkshood and wolfsbane since they are the same plant, which is also known as aconite." She finished crossing her arms, "Oh and by the way the potion recipe on the chalkboard is wrong." She said pointing across the room to one on the side, "You need to cut the ingredients, not crush them; otherwise you'll end up with a big explosion. I made that potion when I was seven, even a complete idiot would know that." She finished sitting down. Professor Snape was silent for a moment before he looked at her. But Andi was certain that he looked almost impressed and that the corners of his mouth quirked up into what would have been a smile.
"Why aren't you writing all of this down?" He asked the rest of the class who quickly began to write.
'This class is going to be interesting.' Andi thought smiling.
AN: Again to those of you who like Hermione (I do too), sorry if you didn't like some of the scenes with her. But it will get better, and her and Andi will eventually become good friends. Also for Snape I don't know what I am going to do with him, I might make him like a mentor to Andi since she outsmarted him at his own game and that shocked but also amused him.
The next chapter:
Mail call- What will Andi get?
Second day of classes (This part will be mostly from my imagination)
Flying Lessons, hmmm I wonder if Andi will sit still when Draco goes out of line.
And more
You now know what you must do... Review!
