AN: All right I know I haven't updated in months with this story. But before you get mad I will tell you that this is my hardest story to write since I have to sit down and write all the chapters by watching the movie and that takes me a while. Also I have been so busy with finishing senior exams and such to graduate. And after that some of my family came to stay so I didn't have access to my DVD player and HP movie set. But I am back and here is the long over due chapter 7. Thank you all who favorited, followed or reviewed my story. Now before questions I have some announcements.

First if I didn't mention this before this story takes place mostly in present time so if I make reference to things like TV shows from the 90's or early 2000's don't get confused. Year one takes place in around 2003-2004.

Second if I wrote a sequel (which I probably will) for Chamber of Secrets how many of you would read it?

Finally I will definitely have an update by either later this week or maybe early next week depending how my week goes.

Now to answer some questions or comments-

Jmw- Thank you for all of your suggestions some of them I really liked for the demon fight. And thank you for loving Andi's little scare of Draco. I hope you think his punishment was appropriate in this chapter.

I had Melinda Warren given to Andi instead of a whitelighter for a few reasons, one she went to Hogwarts so she knows how the wizarding world works. Also because it was unique but I might introduce a whitelighter to Andi later on. And I will work on the way Melinda Warren speaks in future chapters.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and Andi, and one of my BFFs owns Cecelia. Happy reading.

The next day Andi pulled on a black short sleeve shirt over a red long sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans and black converse. She put a red feather in her hair, motioned for Amethyst to follow her as she went to the headmaster's office, she found Professor McGonagall waiting for her,

'It's days like this that I wish I was smaller than I actually was.' She thought to herself as her teacher gave her a sympathetic smile and led her to the statue.

"Lemon Drops." McGonagall simply spoke and the statue moved to reveal a revolving staircase. Andi gasped and McGonagall pushed her shoulder to get her moving, they stepped on to the staircase and soon found themselves in front a set of double doors. McGonagall gave them a knock,

"Come in." Professor Dumbledore's voice rang out. The two stepped in and Andi inwardly groaned to see a smirking Draco Malfoy and Professor Snape already in the room. "Ah, Miss Warren-Halliwell so glad to see you are all right." Professor Dumbledore greeted, he gestured to the chairs in front of him, "Please sit." Andi sat in the chair next to Malfoy and waited. "Now it has come to my attention that we have some matters to clear up. Shall we-"

"She tried to kill me!" Draco interrupted pointing at her.

"I did not!" Andi yelled back, "What a waste on power that would be." She muttered to herself.

"You did!" He insisted facing her.

"Oh no I didn't." She countered crossing her arms.

"Children!" Dumbledore said in a stern voice catching their attention. "Now I think we should here both sides of the situation. Mr. Malfoy if you would."

"Well headmaster I was just minding my own business when I struck a conversation with Halliwell and she just attacked me with no warning." Andi's mouth dropped open.

"Miss Warren-Halliwell would you like to explain your side?" Dumbledore asked looking at her.

"You struck up a conversation with me?" Andi questioned, "You insulted my painting, called me an Unnatural Half-Blood and then started to dis my family. News flash, it's called goading someone on." She turned to Dumbledore, "When I get angry my powers are hard to control since I have more than the average witch."

"I was just saying the truth." Malfoy threw back.

"You were about to insult my mother." She hissed.

"What is so mean about that?" Malfoy questioned haughtily,

"FYI my mother is dead!" Andi finished before crossing her arms and refusing to say another word.

"Well Albus, I think we have satisfactory information to decide appropriate punishment." McGonagall spoke up.

"I am inclined to agree with Professor McGonagall, Headmaster." Snape agreed.

"Very well, Miss Warren-Halliwell you will have detention with Professor Snape next Saturday evening."

"That is a wise decision Professor Dumbledore." Malfoy complimented with a smug smile on his face.

"And you Mister Malfoy will have two detentions with McGonagall next Saturday evening and the following Saturday evening." Malfoy's mouth lost the smug smile.

"But that is not fair, she attacked me!" He protested,

"That may be but multiple witnesses have claimed that you taunted her into attacking you. Also we do not insult the family of others or the dead. There will also be letters sent to both your families." Dumbledore finished before dismissing the two. Outside the office Malfoy turned to her.

"This is not over." He growled, Andi shrugged and crossed her arms,

"Not by a long shot, but currently the score is Halliwell 1, Malfoy 0." She told him before going to the Great Hall for breakfast.

When she entered she received glances from everyone in the hall and murmurs just like the first night she arrived. She ignored them and went towards the Gryffindor table.

"Dria!" Lee called to her and seconds later she found herself surrounded by all of her friends.

"Are you all right?" Cecelia asked concerned,

"We were worried about you." Oliver threw in,

"Gave us quite a fright." Percy spoke up.

"What you did was awesome." Lee commented.

"Wicked." Fred and George complimented together.

"Did you get in trouble?" Ron questioned.

"You weren't expelled were you?" Harry asked concerned.

"Guys!" Andi yelled out to silence them. "I'm okay, a little miffed, but okay. And I did get into a little trouble, I have detention with Snape next Saturday night." They all shot her pitying looks, "Hey! No pity! I hate that." They all shrugged and sat down to converse with each other.

(The next Saturday night)

The next week went by uneventful and Andi had received a letter from her family saying they understood and would talk about the rest during the holidays. It was now the day of her detention and she was currently walking towards the dungeon, Amethyst followed. Andi slowed down as she approached her destination and pulled at her red cardigan that was pulled over her brown turtleneck short sleeved shirt, dark jeans and brown ballet flats.

"What if he tries to poison me?" She squeaked to her guide. The cat stopped and turned back into Melinda Warren.

"He will not, I will be observing him the entire time." Andi looked at her,

"But-" Melinda placed a hand on her shoulder,

"No buts. You are a Warren and Warrens face their troubles not run away from them." Andi sighed,

"Fine." Melinda smiled, turned back into Amethyst, and the two entered the dungeon. Andi stepped in to see Snape at his desk grading papers. "Sir?" He looked up at her,

"Yes?" he drawled.

"Um, what do you want me to do for my detention?" She asked just standing there.

"Just sit down and find something to do." He ordered waving his hand and turning back to his papers. Andi shrugged and looked around the room. She saw a shelf with some potion books and grabbed one. She sat down and opened it and flipped till she saw a potion that interested her. She read and reread the page committing it to memory and thinking how long it would take her to brew it up. "Something interest you Miss Warren-Halliwell?" Andi jumped to see Snape behind her and nodded.

"Yes this looks like a cool potion. I have never brewed anything like that before." She explained. Snape raised his eyebrows.

"Well I need to brew another cauldron of this potion and well I suspect your brewing skills are inferior to a masters I suppose you could assist me." Andi stood and raised her eyebrows.

"I don't know whether to feel dissed or grateful but okay." The two brewed and when they were finished Snape tested it.

"Well it is not perfect but it does exceed my expectations so you are dismissed." Andi nodded,

"Thank you, sir." She said before turning to leave,

"Miss Warren-Halliwell," Andi turned, "If you would like to brew more complex potions again or potions from your world… you are welcomed to after class hours." Andi smiled and nodded. She made her way to Gryffindor Tower. She spoke the password and entered the common room and spotted Harry and Ron in a corner and rushed over.

"Hey guys what's up?" She asked leaping over the back of the couch and landing next to Harry.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked, Andi put her hands behind her head and smirked,

"Aunt Phoebe taught me karate and I took gymnastics classes. That was nothing I can backflip unto a ledge without flying." She explained.

"So how was detention with Snape?" Harry asked reaching over and shutting Ron's shocked mouth.

"Slightly weird." She answered tilting her head to the side and looking away. "Who wants candy?" she finished causing them both to raise their hands and she retrieved her candy from her stash and grabbed a deck of cards. She shared her candy and asked if they wanted to play a game. The three spent Saturday night together laughing the time away.

(Halloween Day)

Soon the time had passed and it was Halloween, Andi jumped out of bed and smiled as she pulled on her uniform with a bat necklace, black cat earrings, and black boots with a small heel. She went downstairs and met up with Fred and George who gave her a piggy back ride down to the Great Hall. Soon Harry and Ron came down with Hermione following. They sat down next to her and all three friends began to eat.

"You guys ready for Halloween?" Andi asked smirking.

"I guess." Ron answered while stuffing his face.

"You seem happy about it." Harry commented. She nodded,

"Where I am from Halloween is considered the best night, it's a night when a witch is most powerful, it's called All Hallows Eve. The woman who is considered the start of my family line was born on All Hallows Eve." They nodded and soon headed to classes.

(Charms Class)

The three friends sat and listened to Flitwick explain about levitation. Andi sat next to Harry with her chin in her palm.

"One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly." He explained to them from his position on top of his stack of books. "Do you all have your feathers?" Andi noticed Hermione hold hers up from the corner of her eye, "Good. Now, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing." Here he pulled his wand from his robes, "The swish and flick. Everyone."

"The swish and flick." Andi chorused along with her classmates waving her wand.

"Good." Flitwick praised, "Oh, and enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go, then." Andi picked up her wand and waved it saying the incantation. She did it again before she heard Hermione talking to Ron.

"No, stop, stop, stop!" She ordered stopping him from waving his wand. "You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's Leviosa, not Leviosar." Andi shook her head knowing those two would clash at what Hermione was saying.

"You do it then, if you're so clever. Go on, go on." Ron challenged. Hermione didn't say anything but turned to her feather and completed the movements.

"Wingardium Leviosa." She chanted. As she moved her wand up the feather followed.

"Oh, well done!" Professor Flitwick praised. "See here, everyone, Miss Granger's done it! Splendid!" At this Seamus who had been watching with Harry and Andi turned back to his own feather and chanted. "Well done, dear." Flitwick said before there was a flash. When it died down Seamus sat there with his hair messy, face covered in ash and smoking.

"I think we're going to need another feather over here, Professor." Harry stated to Professor Flitwick. Andi nodded and as the class slowly returned to their own doings she picked up her wand and focused all her magic on making the feather rise.

"Wingardium Leviosa." She spoke waving her wand with confidence and her feather rose up in the air slightly higher than Hermione's.

"Well done Miss Warren-Halliwell!" Flitwick praised Andi smiled and soon the class was dismissed. Andi walked with Ron and Harry along with Seamus and Dean. She walked on Harry's other side holding the strap of her messenger bag.

"It's Leviosa, not Leviosar." Ron spoke mocking Hermione. "She's a nightmare, honestly! No wonder she hasn't got any friends." Suddenly Hermione walked past them with her head down causing the five preteens to pause.

"I think she heard you." Harry stated. Andi rolled her eyes.

"Ya think?" She asked sarcastically. "Not cool." She stated to Ron before they headed off to their next class.

(Later that night)

The Great Hall to Andi definitely looked spooky enough for Halloween. With floating jack-o-lanterns and even the sky outside was spooky. On each house table there was an assortment of sugary foods. Andi sat next to Oliver eating whatever sweets she could reach.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked catching her attention. She looked around the table. Sure enough the bushy haired Gryffindor was no were to be found.

"Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girls' bathroom. She said that she had been in there all afternoon, crying." Neville answered. Andi shook her head,

'Nice going Ron.' She thought. Suddenly the doors burst open and Professor Quirell came running in.

"Troll in the dungeon!" He yelled running up the aisle. "Troll in the dungeon!" He repeated stopping as Dumbledore stood and everyone looked at him. "Thought you ought to know." He said before fainting on the floor. Everyone began to scream and stood up causing panic and chaos as they made for the doors. Andi jumped up and followed but did not scream.

"Silence!" Dumbledore ordered causing everyone to pause and look towards him. "Everyone will please not panic!"

'Dude, don't you know that when you say "not panic" it makes everyone want to panic!' Andi thought as her mouth dropped open.

"Now…" Dumbledore continued, "prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeon." At that all the students began to file out. Andi hung back and caught up with Harry and Ron.

"Gryffindors, keep up, please, and stay alert." Percy ordered leading them.

"How could a troll get in?" Harry asked.

"Not on its own." Ron answered. "Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes." Andi scoffed,

"This is a joke?!" She questioned, "Well on behalf of me and everyone else I can say it's so not funny." Suddenly Harry stopped them,

"What?" Ron asked.

"Hermione! She doesn't know." He explained to them.

"Oh no, that can't end well." Andi stated as they took off back the way they came. They ran down a dark corridor but skidded to a halt when they saw a huge shadow lumbering on ahead.

"I think the troll's left the dungeon." Ron spoke up, the three hid in a doorway and peeked out to see where the troll headed.

"It's going into the girl's bathroom." Harry told them.

"Guys," Andi nervously began, "didn't Neville say that Hermione was in the girls' bathroom?" They all shared a glance before dashing forwards picking up speed as they heard a scream. The three burst in to see Hermione cowering under what's left of the stalls. She looked up at the three.

"Hermione, move!" Harry ordered as they ran to assist her.

"Help! Help!" Hermione pleaded, Harry and Ron threw rubble at the troll

"Hey, pea brain!" Ron yelled as Andi moved her hand forward and water from the sink surged forward and hit the troll in the face. For a few seconds they had the troll's attention as Hermione began to crawl away but the troll caught sight of her crawling under a sink.

"In retrospect not my best plan." Andi commented as the troll destroyed the sink Hermione was under moments before if she had not moved quickly with a frightened scream.

"Help!" She begged them. Harry pulled out his wand and ran at the troll grabbing its club causing him to be lifting in the air and landing on the trolls shoulders. It moved around trying to shake Harry off until he stuck his wand in its nose.

"He needs help, can't you freeze it?" Ron asked Andi.

"It's keeps moving around and is too big! And there's a slight chance I might blow it and Harry up!" She protested. The troll sneezed and resumed shaking around until it finally grabbed Harry and held him upside down by his ankle preparing to strike him with the club.

"Do something!" Harry pleaded as the troll swung at him but he avoided it.

"What?" Ron and Andi asked.

"Anything!" he yelled avoided another strike.

"Here goes nothing." Andi said stepping forwards and raising her hands. She flicked her wrists and the troll froze, Andi held her wrists straight. "Whatever we are going to do someone do it now!" She ordered, "I don't know how much longer I can hold this thing." Ron pulled out his wand.

"Hurry up!" Harry ordered him.

"Swish and flick." Hermione instructed.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron chanted waving his wand just as Andi lost her grip on the troll and it unfroze. The club lifted out of its hand just as it was about to bring it down on Harry. The troll looked at its empty fist then looked up to see the hovering club. Ron let the club go causing it to drop on the trolls head.

"Cool." Ron commented as it dropped Harry and began to sway around before falling forwards causing a cloud of dust to rise, luckily Harry backed away just in time. As the dust settled the four stood to survey the damage.

"Is it dead?" Hermione asked walking up to them.

"I don't think so." Harry answered, "Just knocked out." Harry bent down and pulled his wand out of the troll's nose. He gagged at the residue on it as he held it up.

"Troll boogies." Ron commented.

"That's disgusting." Andi put in as Harry wiped his wand off on his robes. Suddenly McGonagall ran in followed by Snape and Quirell. She gasped at the sight of the troll.

"Oh, my goodness!" She gasped, then she caught sight of the trio, "Explain yourselves, all three of you!" She ordered.

"Well, what it is-" Ron began,

"It's my fault, Professor McGonagall." Hermione spoke up, causing the three friends to share a glance.

"Miss Granger?" McGonagall asked in shock.

"I went looking for the troll." Hermione lied, "I've read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry, Ron, and Andi hadn't come and found me, I'd probably be dead."

"Be that as it may," McGonagall began once she got her voice back, "it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I expected more rational behavior on your part and I am very disappointed in you Miss Granger." She chastised, "Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment." She then turned to Andi and the boys, "As for you three… I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many first year students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points… will be awarded to each of you…" The three smiled at their head of house on that statement, "for sheer dumb luck." She finished exited with Snape following.

"Perhaps you ought to go." Quirell addressed them, "It might wake up." The three walked away but once they neared the tower Ron stopped.

"Why did you lie for us?" He asked Hermione, "You could have just told McGonagall the truth." The other two stared at Hermione waiting for an answer.

"It just seemed like the fair thing to do." She shrugged. "You all did save my life. Thank you." The three nodded.

"I think Ron wants to tell you something." Harry finally said.

"I do?" he asked, Andi elbowed him in the stomach, "Ow! I mean I do. I'm really sorry for what I said earlier. Can you forgive me?" Hermione smiled and nodded.

"I think we all need to start over." Andi commented, "We judged each other a little too quickly." The others nodded. "So friends?" She asked them all.

"Friends." They all answered beaming.

"You know, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Ron commented swinging an arm around Harry and Andi as they began to walk. They all laughed and Andi put her arm around Hermione as the four new best friends made their way back to Gryffindor Tower.

So what did you think? Questions, comments, ideas? You know what to do just review.
