Birds of a Feather
Chapter 2: Family Ties
By: Moonauthor
Disclaimer: No I do not own Harry Potter. Though I wish I did, but the characters I do own are Sarah Winderson, Sarah Winderson's little cute green eyed playful black kitten Raven, and, Ryan Cutter.
Authors note: As before I'm not sure if this story will involve Harry and the gang beyond Quidditch Matches as well as minor mention of them in other ways. Like I said before I guess we'll find out as we go along now won't we. Now in this chapter you will see more of Ryan Cutter and possibly find out more about him, well other than the fact that he's cute. I'm also adding Draco Mafloy, Ginny Weasly into this as well as Professor Snape. These three will be reappearing characters through out the whole story for various reasons. Plus Harry and his friends in this story if they are mentioned are in their sixth year at Hogwarts, one year ahead of Sarah, but they're the same year as Ryan. Oh and one last little detail for you, just to give you a little heads up into how I'll be writing this story refer to the below incase you forgot from chapter one or if, I made changes.
It will be written in third person narrative form.
I'll write thoughts like this: *Gee I wonder how I'll get to my first class, * Sarah thought to herself.
When I title something like a book or something I'll simply underline it like this The Big Book of Famous Wizards
When some one uses their wand to cast a spell the magic words will be done like this Mirrous I made this one up hee hee what it does is conjure a floating mirror just above your wand.
VERY INMORTANT AUTHOR"S NOTE: This Chapter is dedicated to my friend Helteage and her kitten. You see her kitten recently passed away and she's very up set over it so I wrote the second chapter just for those two.
Raven jumped up on Sarah's bed padding slowly towards the sleeping girl. Once she gets up to her face she starts rubbing against her and purring softly. Sarah swatted and the kitten rolls over and going back to sleep. Raven was knocked back a few feet but quickly recovers standing on all four paws. The kitten crouches down deciding she had to wake up her over sleeping owner the hard way. She lets her sharp little claws show springing into the air landing squarely in Sarah's back her claws embedding in the skin. Sarah promptly wakes up screaming. She shakes the kitten off her back, Raven falling to the ground backwards but managing to land on all four feet retracting her claws. She falls out the bed ending up in an ungraceful heap on the floor. After a few minutes she un tangling her herself from her nightgown looking down accusingly at the kitten, "What was that for?" Of course Raven just looks up at her with innocent green eyes. "Yeah sure your innocent," she rolls her eyes and looks around the room making sure no ones there, "Your just about as innocent and Lord Voldermort." Unlike other Witches and Wizards she was unafraid to speak his name. She rolls her eyes at the kitten again and goes over to her trunk searching through it, finding her clothes. She dresses in her school uniform for her first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. *We didn't have school uniforms at my old school, we just wore muggle clothing, * she thinks to herself. She looks at the muggle watch around her wrist her eyes widening, "Oh my god I'm late for breakfast!!!" She goes tearing down the spiral staircase and into the common room gathering up the books she'd forgotten down there. Next she goes running out of the common room and through the hall skidding to a halt in the great hall drawing the entire rooms attention to her. She gives a nervous laugh as the whole room stares at her as she makes her way to her table somehow managing to not drop anything or trip over her robes taking a seat at her table. After a few moments everyone goes back to their eating, Sarah does the same as well brushing off her embarrassment. She looks down at her food before her eating only half before pushing the plate away. Instead she pulls out a purple muggle spiral notebook, and a purple pen to go with it, saving her ink, feathers, and parchment for schoolwork. Written in bold black letters on the front of the notebook is Sarah's Quidditch Play Book. Sarah opens the notebook scanning the pages until she gets to a blank page and makes a drawing of a Quidditch Pitch. Sarah has magically bewitched her pen to change color ink so she draws out two different team placements, the X's for the first team are purple, and the O's for the second team are black. Using read ink she places the qauffle on the drawn out field, she using yellow for the snitch, and brown for the bludgers. At the bottom of the paper she writes a note:
To ensure that your team will not be injured by the bludgers keep one beater on either bludger at all times during the course of the game.
She closes the notebook satisfied with her entry just as the breakfast ends and she heads to the dungeon to go to her first class of the year. Which just happens to be Potion's class with Professor Snape. She rolls her eyes thinking of her first class. Unlike other students she didn't roll her eyes because she feared failing because she knew she'd pass the class with flying colors no doubt. She was rolling her eyes because she had to deal with her Uncle. Sarah stopped just short of the classroom she knew everyone else had all ready gone inside or so she thought. She pulled out her wand calling out, Mirrous . At the sound of that word a sliver spark shot from her wand leaving a shimmering mirror floating above her wand. Sarah looked in the mirror looking herself in the eyes, "Okay Sarah you can do this he's just your Uncle, sure he's a real pain and the most hated teacher at school but he's just your Uncle so don't freak out when you go in there"
"Bloody hell Snape's Your Uncle," comes a shock struck voice from behind her. Sarah slowly turned around fearing she'd see another student, or worse she'd see Peeve's the Poltergeist. If it was Peeve's she'd heard enough stories to know it'd be all over the school by suppertime. She sighs in partial relief when she sees one of the Gryffindor's she's taking this class with.
She takes a slightly defensive stance, "So what if he is that's none of your of your business anyway." The girl in question has long red hair pulled back in a braid with deep sea green eyes and an old worn robe with patches on it.
"Whoa chill out I didn't mean anything by it, it's just kind of surprising I mean I never pictured him as having any family what so ever not many people do," the red haired girl responds trying to sound as pleasant and unthreatening as possible.
Sarah blushes at her defensiveness, "Look I'm sorry for biting you head off like that. My names Sarah, Sarah Winderson, and you are?" She gives the girl a questioning gaze.
The red haired girl smiles brightly, "My names Ginny Weasly, it's nice to meet you." Ginny sezs with a very enthusiastic voice, Ginny blushes, giggling some when she realizes how perky she must sound to Sarah.
"Well Ginny we better get in class before my," Sarah looks around the hall for anyone else finding no one, "Uncle freaks out about two missing students." She sezs the last part giggling. Ginny nods in agreement and the two walk in the class together finding to vacant seats next to each other enjoying the look of sheer disgust on her Uncles face as his niece walked in with a Gryffindor of all people. The class went on normal and as far as she knew Ginny was the only one to know that Professor Snape was really her Uncle. Today's lesson first lesson in class was making a "Love Potion". Of course she took notes even though she had learned this one before. She went through the rest of her classes fairly easily as lunch hit she got to see Ginny again catching her before she went into the Great Hall for lunch pulling her close to the side gripping her arm, "Did you tell anyone Ginny?"
Ginny looked at her with confused eyes than, "Did I tell anyone what?" Than it dawns on her. "Oh you mean about your Uncle no I didn't, don't worry Sarah your secrets safe with me," Ginny grins at her brightly, "now come on we're missing lunch." Ginny then proceeds to drag Sarah into the Great Hall for lunch. This time they couldn't sit together as they had to go sit at their respective tables when they ate. The rest of the week went on like that; the only interesting thing that did happen took place on Wednesday early afternoon just as she was going to her first class "Transfiguration" after lunch. She ran vigorously through the barren halls being five minutes late for class. A figure rounded the corner running as well the two collided into each other, both going sprawling across the floor as there parchment, and quills, went flying. Sarah end up flat on her back on the ground and the person she ran into ended up flat on his stomach partially on her.
The boy quickly recovers himself standing up and helping Sarah up from the floor, "I am so sorry about that I wasn't watching where I was." He apologized to her. Sarah rubbed her head not having looked at him yet thinking about how familiar that voice sounded. When she did finally look up she found herself face to face with none other than Ryan Cutter the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team Captain.
"Oh..no..it's fine I mean it was my fault I mean.," Sarah stutters and trips over her words finding herself captivated by Ryan's crystal blue eyes. She had caught glimpses of him a few times during the week but this was the first time she'd gotten a real good look at him.
He pays no attention to her stuttering and sezs, "No really I should have been paying more attention to where I was going," Ryan countered before she could protest further he added, "here let me help you get your things."
Just as he bent down to pick up some of her things she said quickly, "No really you don't have to." She goes down with him both of their heads colliding, both pulling back.
Ryan laughed at this, "Here why don't you just let me go down to them okay?" She nodded slowly complying with what he wanted. Ryan bent down gathering up their things and handing her stuff back to her. "Hi my names Ryan Cutter, what's yours," he smiles politely at her.
She blinks at him in shock that he's still talking to her, *Okay girl now just calm down and get a grip just because he's cute doesn't you mean you have to lose your cool like you've done already so just calm down* She told herself mental and takes a deep breath getting control back, "My names Sarah Winderson it's good to meet you." She smiles at him briefly.
He seems to go into thought, "Wait a minute you're that girl that's going out for Seeker on the Quidditch Team this Saturday aren't you?"
She smiles brightly, "Yep that'd be me I can't wait to show you what I can do this Saturday, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Well good luck on Saturday then, I'll see you later I gotta go to class," He walks past her, "bye," He continues on down the hall. Sarah just stands there for a few minutes rearranging her stuff back in order trying to ignore the nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling her to follow him instead of going to her next class.
Meanwhile back where Ryan was down the hallway. Ryan walked down the hall thinking about the girl he just ran into as he headed into the dungeon to go to his next class "Defense Against the Dark Arts". Only two classes resided in the dungeons those classes were "Defense Against the Dark Arts" and of course Snape's "Potions Class" but he wasn't worried. He slipped silently into the class thankfully going unnoticed by his teacher and Uncle Professor Lupin. Today's lesson was how to tell if someone is already or is becoming a vampire. He took down his notes quickly this was probably the only class he really paid attention in. After the class ended and all the students had filed out he went bounding up to his Uncle's desk. "Hey Uncle you got a minute to spare for a struggling student," he asked
Professor Lupin raised and eyebrow, "You struggle in this class your one of my best students so why on Earth would need my help?" He eyed his nephew in confusion.
"Well it's not really school that I need help with, it's something else actually," Ryan confessed. Professor Lupin seemed to want to know what it was he needed his Uncle's help with. So he nodded urging his nephew to continue on with what he needed. Slowly Ryan complied choosing his words carefully, "Well I want you to tell me more about this girl I ran into in the hallway her name is Sarah Winderson."
Professor Lupin's brow scrunches up as he thinks, "Hmmmm the name is familiar but at the moment it doesn't ring a bell, but if I come up with anything I'll be sure to tell you, no go on to your next class." Ryan nods and smiles dashing off quickly to his next class hoping to not be late again.
Later that night after dinner Ginny and Sarah were both talking out in the school courtyard watching as the leaves changed color fell from the tree's for fall the fall season. Both were sitting on a stone bench as Sarah told Ginny all about her run-in with Ryan Cutter. "I've heard about him," said Ginny excitedly, "I've heard he's the best Quidditch Captain Hogwarts has had in a long time." Ginny went silent for a moment thinking to herself than she spoke, "I'll ask around the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and see what I can find out about him for you okay." Ginny just grinned at Sarah happily.
A smile spread across Sarah's face, "Thanks I'd love to know more about him," Sarah looks down at her watch than shows it to Ginny, "We better get back it's almost lights out." Both girls nod in agreement and go their separate ways waving goodbye to one another.
