AN: I know it's been about two weeks so here is Chapter 6, finally. This would have been up last night if my computer hadn't have acted up so my apologies. Once again thank you to all those who reviewed, followed or added this story to their favorites list. Before I answer questions I have an announcement to make I have finally decided when the demon attacks at Hogwarts will take place. The first will be in November after Halloween with the Woogeyman (thanks to Jmw for the suggestion)and the second one is still undecided but will take place either before or after the Easter break.
Jmw: I am going to have Andi show them Wicca spell like the ones in the BoS but I don't know if I shall have her teach them. As to being the secondary Gryffindor Seeker that's a new one but I don't think she will join the Gryffindor team this year if she does. I also was intrigued in your idea of her bringing back the dead so we will see in time.
wiccawhitewitchcharmedfan: Thank you for that idea about the past lives I might incorporate that into either a bonus scene or a later year if I do them.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor will I ever. I just own Andi and the plot and one of my best friends owns Cecelia.
"That's it they've expelled him." Ron groaned for the fifth time. Andi rolled her eyes.
"Will you stop freaking out all ready?" She asked, "You're giving me a massive migraine." Madame Hooch had come out with Neville not too far behind her but since so much time was wasted she just let people hover around with their brooms under careful supervision. Ron and Andi had quit after a while, Andi spotted Neville sulking not too far away and pulled his Remembrall out of her pocket. "Hey Neville," He looked at the two, "Here, courtesy of me and Harry." Andi tossed the orb to him and he caught it.
"Thanks!" He said happily. Madam Hooch soon dismissed them and the two headed off to find Harry. They spotted him in the hall by Professor Quirrell's classroom.
"So how much trouble are you in? Are you expelled? Did you get detention?"
"Ron." Harry tried,
"Did you have to go to the headmaster? Did you-"
Whap! Andi's hand shot up and smacked Ron in the back of the head.
"Let the man talk." She ordered as Ron rubbed the back of his head and glared at her.
"No I'm not in trouble. Quite the opposite really." Harry informed as they started walking back to the grounds with Harry in the middle, Ron on his left and Andi on his right.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
"Well she took me to see a boy named Wood-"
"Oliver?" Andi interrupted.
"Yeah, do you know him?" Harry asked.
"He's my friend/ sort of big brother. He helped me get on the train and introduced me to his friends, including your brothers Ron and Lee Jordan and Cecelia Blithe. We are all good friends." She shrugged. "But anyway, continue."
"Well she said she had found him a Seeker. And after talking for a while she basically said I was the new Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team."
"Seeker." Ron breathed astonished, "But first years never make the house teams. You must be the youngest Quidditch player in a-"
"Century," Harry confirmed, "According to McGonagall."
"Cool beans." Andi commented, thinking back to the sports she played back home.
"Hey. Well done, Harry. Wood's just told us." Fred complimented as he and George ran up behind them.
"Fred and George are on the team too." Ron informed them, "Beaters."
"Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too much." George told him. "Can't make any promises of course. Rough game, Quidditch."
"Brutal. But no one's died in years." Fred continued. "Someone will vanish occasionally."
"But they'll turn up in a month or two!" George finished as the first years separated from them. Andi fought the urge to laugh her head off.
"Go on, Harry." Ron encouraged. "Quidditch is great. Best game there is, and you'll be great too."
"Yeah just think about how great you did today on that broom. And to think you've never even been on one before." Andi pointed out.
"But I've never even played Quidditch. What if I make a fool of myself?" He asked.
"You won't make a fool of yourself." Hermione reassured from next to Andi. "It's in your blood."
"How long have you been eavesdropping?" Andi asked. Hermione ignored that and led them to a trophy case where she showed them an award that was labeled Seeker James Potter.
"Whoa, Harry." Ron breathed, "You never told us your father was a Seeker too."
"I didn't know." Harry told them. They all headed up the stair back to Gryffindor Tower with Hermione behind them.
"I'm telling you, it's spooky." Ron said to Harry, "She knows more about you than you do."
"Who doesn't?" Harry asked making a point.
"Alright, enough guys." Andi spoke up not in the mood to hear more. Suddenly the staircase moved to the left throwing them off balance.
"What's happening?" Harry asked.
"The staircases change, remember?" Hermione reminded him.
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Andi sarcastically commented before the staircase connected to another floor with a door directly in front of them.
"Let's go this way." Harry suggested and they all began to move.
"Before the staircase moves again." Ron commented. Harry opened the door and they stepped into an abandoned, dark and dusty corridor with weird statues.
"This place could use an episode of Extreme Makeover." Andi commented causing her to get strange looks.
"Does anybody feel like we shouldn't be here?" Ron asked.
"We're not supposed to be here." Hermione realized, "This is the third floor. It's forbidden." Suddenly a torch came alight in front of them.
"Let's go." Harry ordered and they all turned around to see Mrs. Norris meowing behind them.
"It's Filch's cat!" Hermione said.
"Run!" Harry ordered and they booked it running down corridors till Andi spotted a door door.
"Quick let's hide there!" Andi suggested running up to it.
"It's locked!" Harry exclaimed after tugging on it.
"That's it. We're done for!" Ron told them with fear.
"Oh, move over!" Hermione ordered taking out her wand and shoving Harry out of the way, "Alohomora." The door unlocked and she opened it, "Get in." They all slipped in.
"Alohomora?" Ron asked as he closed the door.
"Standard Book of Spells, chapter seven." Hermione told him. They waited until for Filch to pass.
"Filch's gone." Hermione said from her positioned closest.
"He thinks this door's locked." Ron said as they moved away.
"Well it's supposed to be." Andi reminded him.
"And for good reason." Harry spoke up plainly. They all followed his line of sight to see a giant three headed dog asleep on the floor. It woke up and growled at the tree preteens. They all screamed and ran out. They struggled to close the door behind them against the dog's head. But they managed to slam it shut and Andi pulled the lock down.
"What do they think their doing?!" Ron asked as they attempted to return to the tower again. "Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?"
"It's a Cerberus." Andi said simply, everyone else stopped and stared at her, "What? I like reading about Greek mythology. Sue me." She finished as they entered the tower.
"Anyway, you don't use your eyes do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?" Hermione asked.
"I wasn't looking at its feet!" Ron yelled. "I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice. There were three!"
"It was standing on a trapdoor. Which means it wasn't there by accident. Its guarding something." Hermione replied.
"Guarding something?" Harry asked.
"That's right. Now, if you three don't mind, I'm going to bed… before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed." She said as the other three leaned against the banister. "Or worse, expelled." She finished before leaving.
"She needs to sort out her priorities." Ron commented, Andi gave a little laugh and nodded along with Harry.
"So what's a Cerberus?" Harry asked.
"It's a huge three headed dog that guards the gates to the underworld." Andi answered simply. "Well night guys." The other two echoed her sentiments. Andi went up to the dorms and headed to bed.
The next night after dinner Andi walked down to Professor Flitwick's office. She knocked and he quickly opened the door.
"Come in child. Come in." He said ushering her in, his office was decorated in Ravenclaw colors which Andi thought fitting since he was the head of that couch. He told her to sit on a rather comfy chair and gave her some tea and biscuits.
"So, Professor. What would you like to know?" Andi asked politely.
"Well I am interested in all the spells and how they are used." Andi nodded and summarized what she knew about spell, how they could be made up and how they could be used. When she was done he nodded. "Well that is different from Hogwarts." He said, "Now there also is something I would like to teach you, Ms. Warren-Halliwell." He said.
"What is it?" Andi asked.
"Where you are from the weather is generally fairly warm, yes?" Professor Flitwick asked her. She nodded. "The headmaster is aware of this and figured it would be hard for you to become accustomed to our winter, so he asked me to teach you this little charm to keep you warm." He got out his wand and cast the charm on her. Andi felt very warm and comfortable.
"Wow, thanks Professor. So how do I do that?" Professor Flitwick taught her the charm and Andi went back to the tower.
That Saturday it was their first weekend at Hogwarts. Andi had gotten up and pulled on a light blue shirt t-shirt that said 'Fall down the rabbit hole' with a picture of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland at the under the letters, blue black skinny jeans and white high-top sneaker with blue laces. For her hair she had added a dark blue ribbon pulling her hair into a high ponytail. She had eaten breakfast and retrieved her easel and paint set. She took them by the lake and slipped on her paint splattered smock for good measure. She painted for a few hours in peace. But she soon felt some very mischievous emotions.
"Don't even think about it, Fred and George." She said smirking and spinning around with her arms crossed.
"Aw!" Both complained simultaneously.
"I told you she wouldn't fall for it." Percy bragged coming along with Lee, Cecelia and Oliver.
"Yeah never try to fool or sneak up on an empath" Andi giggled untying her smock.
"So Dria," Fred started.
"Huh?" Andi asked confused,
"When did you start calling her that?" Cecelia asked also confused.
"Well it's her nickname for us." George explained.
"She already has a nickname." Oliver reminded them.
"Technically it's what everyone calls her." Lee piped up.
"Right so we-" George began.
"Wanted her to have one-" Fred continued.
"For just the seven of us." They finished together. Andi thought for a minute and nodded.
"Okay I like it. It's unique."
"So what are you painting… Dria?" Cecelia asked testing out the new nickname. Andi stepped aside to reveal her final painting of her first view of Hogwarts from the lake.
"Wow!" Percy commented astonished.
"That is amazing." Oliver added with Cecelia nodding.
"Wicked." The twins said together.
"You are very talented." Lee commented. Andi smiled sheepishly.
"Thanks."
"Ugh! Who painted that monstrosity?" Came a snotty voice from behind. The group spun around to see a group of Slytherins with one Draco Malfoy in the middle.
"What did you say about my painting?" Andi asked. Draco sneered at her.
"I should have known you would have done it." He said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked her eyes narrowing. Draco looked around and saw that they had gained an audience.
"Well you would do something like that after all, unnatural. Just like you are an Unnatural Half-Blood."
"What did you call me?!" Andi shrieked her anger starting to peak.
"Unnatural Half-Blood I heard you talking about how you father was a muggle. I wonder is the rest of your family just like you?" Draco taunted.
"Shut up! Don't you say a word about my family!" Andi yelled.
"I bet they are! I bet you all are so unnatural you can't even be around decent wizards or witches. I bet even your mother-"
"I said, SHUT UP!" Andi yelled before something happened. Water shot out of the lake and began to pelt Draco, rocks, large rocks floated up around him some even exploding when they got too close.
"Stop it!" Draco yelled to Andi but it was too late, the girl was so enraged that she was no longer in control of her own powers.
"Andi!" Oliver yelled shaking her, "Stop!" Andi blinked then saw what was happing she quickly focused her emotions and the water rushed back into the lake and the rocks fell to the ground. Everyone stared at Andi, some in awe and some in fear. Andi looked at everyone then at the concerned faces of her friends before she collapsed onto the ground. The last thing she saw was the concerned faces of her friends before she passed out.
Andi opened her eyes to bright light. She found herself in a comfortable bed.
"Where am I?" She asked confused. A woman came up to her.
"Welcome back Ms. Warren-Halliwell you gave us all quite a fright when those Gryffindors bought you in. Now do you feel dizzy or nauseous?" Andi shook her head.
"No just a little worn out." She answered. "Can I see my friends now…?"
"Madam Pompfrey dear. And no, you cannot see them until tomorrow, what you need now is rest." Andi sigh and nodded. "There is a good girl, now I must inform the headmaster that you are awake. He wanted to be informed since Draco Malfoy apparently said you wanted to kill him. Preposterous." She then left. Andi sigh and leaned back into the pillows.
"I didn't want to. I just lost control." She then felt a small weight on her feet. She looked down to see a white cat with weird amethyst colored eyes staring at her. "Where did you come from?" She asked. It came closer to her and she hesitantly petted its head. The cat began to purr and curled up on her lap. Andi smiled before noticing the strange collar on the cat. It was purple with a silver tag. Something was carved onto the tag, Andi lifted it and gasped. On the tag was a triquatra. "What on earth?" The cat jumped down and golden sparks swirled around it. Andi gasped again as a blonde woman now stood where the cat was.
"Blessed be child." The woman greeted with a smile, "Do you know who I am?" Andi thought for a moment.
"You're Melinda Warren aren't you? I recognize your voice." Melinda smiled and sat down on the bed.
"Yes Adrianne. And do you know why I am here?" Andi looked down in shame.
"Are you here to take away my powers because of what I did? I understand if you do. I attacked an innocent." Melinda scoffed and lifted Andi's chin so their eyes could meet.
"No, that would be a fate too cruel. And it was not your fault, that boy goaded you on. And he was hardly an innocent." Andi smiled at that. "No I am here because the Elders think you are in need of help."
"What kind of help?" Andi asked.
"Help navigating in this new world. I was once a resident of this world and know I will help you. I will be your guide throughout however long you decide to continue this journey." Andi smiled.
"That explains the cat then." Melinda laughed.
"Yes, I cannot wander around as a human when there is a chance I might be recognized. But I will appear as this cat and when we are alone as a human." Andi nodded.
"Okay but what should I call the cat? We need a name so no one will get suspicious."
"You may decide and if anyone should ask, you may say you found me on the grounds and I got attached and followed you around." Andi nodded and thought.
"All right how about Amethyst? After the eyes." Melinda thought for a moment then smiled.
"I like that name young one. It is decided."
Later when the matron had returned with dinner and informed Andi she was to go to the headmasters office tomorrow immediately after her release she felt less afraid because of her new guide who was curled at her feet in her cat form.
