"Hey Avel, we're over here," a voice yelled. After turning around Avel saw Raymond and Branwen waving at her.
"Hi you guys," Said Avel as she ran up to them. "Can you believe we're finally going to Hogwarts?"
"No, well, yes. I don't know all I know is we're leaving in fifteen minutes!" Branwen shrieked excitedly.
"Well if your ready to get on the Express follow me," called Harry as he started walking towards the barrier in between platforms nine and ten. Avel, Branwen, and Raymond all watched carefully as Harry walked to the barrier. But just as he reached it a few people passed by and when they had left Harry was gone.
"Mom where did he go?" Avel asked excitedly.
"Platform 9 3/4 is hidden by the barrier that separates platforms nine and ten. You have to walk through the barrier to get to the platform. You can always run through if you want, but don't attract attention. How about you try know," answered Michal.
"Ok, sure," said Avel as she started to head for the barrier.
Avel slowly walked towards the barrier, pushing her trolley in front of her. As she neared the barrier wall she became nervous and started to run. Avel closed her eyes, as the barrier loomed closer and closer, she kept on running expecting for her trolley to crash into the barrier at any minute. But it never did.
When Avel opened her eyes she saw a bright red steam engine in front of her, with the smoke coming out of the engine Avel thought it looked like it was on fire. All around her Avel saw parents saying good-bye to their children, older teenagers where greeting friends and everywhere she heard the cries of animals.
To Avel's right she saw her father talking to his godfather Sirius. At the sight of him Avel felt a bit of reproach for the trick she had played on Sarah. Turning around Avel saw Branwen and Raymond come running through the barrier.
"Wow, this place looks so amazing," whispered Branwen after she had looked at all that was going on around her.
Avel and her friends said good-bye to their parents and headed onto the train looking for a compartment.
~*~
Cailean sat in the compartment she had chosen. Since she had gotten here half an hour early Cailean had already said goodbye to Sirius and settled down for the trip to Hogwarts. Over the last month Cailean had learned a great deal about the wizarding world. What ever Sirius hadn't told her Cailean had read about. She even knew a few simple spells from reading the schoolbooks. Under Sirius's instructions Cailean had also learned all about the basic herbs.
Cailean was reading 'Glamour for the Beginner' when she heard someone opening her compartment door. Turning towards the door she saw three people entering her compartment. And they where non-less the Avel, Branwen, and Raymond.
~*~
Raymond entered the compartment with his sister in Avel they had been talking excitedly about houses when they noticed another girl sitting on one of the benches reading a book. As she looked up he felt a spark of recognition, but in a moment it had passed and he thought it no more then his imagination.
The girl had long black hair and gray eyes. Her eyes looked haunted, like she had seen things some one her age should never see, and had heard things she would never forget.
"Hello, I'm Avel Potter. These are my best friends Branwen and Raymond Weasley. Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Cailean Black, I've just moved in with my uncle a week ago." The girl said in a quiet yet clear voice.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you. Do you know if anyone else is sitting here?" Asked Branwen in her self assured voice.
"No, I don't believe anyone else is sitting here," the girl replied.
"What are you reading?" Raymond asked.
She looked down at the book. "Only Glamour for the Beginner," she replied. " So what house do you think you'll be in?"
"Gryffindor," They all said together. Then smiling they looked at each other and started to laugh.
"So what house do you think you'll be in?" Asked Avel
~*~
"What house will I be in? I never really thought about it," Cailean replied. 'If the prediction is true I should be in Slytherine, but dear sister, it seems that the seer made a little mistake. Perhaps she mixed us up?' She thought with slight anger and frustration.
They spent the rest of the ride talking pleasantly among them selves. Cailean was able to treat Avel as if she hadn't set a deadly monster on her. And they actually got along rather well.
After the Hogwarts Express stopped at Hogsmeade all the first years got shepherd to a giant lake where they all climbed into boats. Avel, Cailean, Branwen, and Raymond all sat together. Once they reached the castle they unloaded and Hagrid knocked on the door. A tall thin woman with dark brown hair pulled into a low bun lead then through a corridor and into a waiting room.
"Hello first years," She said in a cool crisp voice. "I am Athena Vivek, the Transfiguration teacher. You will wait here and I will fetch you four the Sorting Ceremony in a few minutes. There you will be sorted into one of the hour houses. They are Gryffindor, Slytherine, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Each has their own remarkable history. I will come back soon," she said and walked smoothly out of the room.
All of the children started talking as soon as she left. Mostly about houses, their families, and what the Sorting ceremony would be. Cailean, Avel, Raymond, and Branwen huddled together, comparing notes about the sorting. Finally Professor Vivek returned and led them out onto the dais in the Great Hall. They all lined up and Professor Vivek brought out a stool with a hat sitting on it.
"Where should you go?
What would be best?
Where would you rise, or fall low?
I can answer all these questions,
When I seek inside your mind.
What house would be best for you?
Gryffindor, for the bold and brave,
If you are courageous,
Here you'll be the rave.
Then there is Hufflepuff,
Where all are just and loyal,
These fine people are up to snuff.
Next is wise Ravenclaw,
They are smart and sensible,
And always abide the law.
Slytherine is last, but not least,
Ambitious they are,
A power hungry beast.
So put me on,
And try me out.
I'll put you where you should be,
I'll read you mind,
And I will find.
All answers are clear to me!"
After the hat was done singing the whole hall applauded and Vivek started to call on people to try on the hat. Abbot, Leala was placed in Hufflepuff, then Cailean was called.
"Hum, where would you be best in?" A small voice asked in her ear. "Your smart, you've learned so much in such a short time, even more then that your wise. Hufflepuff won't due, but in Ravenclaw you must follow the rules. No and you have the fear of the prophecy. Well my dear I do believe things will play out differently then everyone expects. No I think I'll put you in GRYFFINDOR!"
Cailean went to sit at the Gryffindor table and sat waiting to see where the others would be placed. Next Bone, Mala was placed in Ravenclaw, while Brayden, Caesy joined Cailean in Gryffindor. The names kept being called. Malfoy, Jalil was placed in Slytherine along with some of his friends.
Finally Avel was called. When Vivek said her name whispers ran through the crowd. 'Well what can you expect, she is Harry Potter's daughter,' Cailean said to herself. 'So are you!' Claimed one part of her mind. But she quietly watched as Avel placed the hat on her head. It took quiet some time for the hat to make up its mind but adventurally it called Gryffindor. Both Branwen and Raymond joined them in Gryffindor as well.
The Headmistress McGonagall stood up and cleared her throat and the room fell silent. "Good-day students and welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Let the feast begin!" She called out in a crisp slightly Scottish voice.
The tables suddenly filled with food and everyone started to eat. Cailean, Avel, Branwen, and Raymond didn't talk for a while as they where to busy stuffing their faces. After everyone had filled their stomachs a bit everyone started to talk more. Their little foursome met all the other Gryffindor first years. Raymond started to talk with Pat Leander and James Llewellyn. Caesy Brayden and Tracy Leonard started to talk to the three girls. Once they discovered Avel was Harry Potter's daughter they wouldn't leave her alone.
Once desserts had come a boy named Neville Longbottom showed up. Avel, Raymond, and Branwen seemed to know him. Cailean learned that he was Neville Longbottom Jn. And their parents had gone to school together.
After everyone was finished eating and Cailean had started to feel sleepy the Headmistress rose again.
"Welcome students of Hogwarts, finally we are gathered again for another year of learning. I hope all of you will help out the first years." She said eyeing a group of Slytherine's who laughed at that comment. "Please remember the Forbidden Forest is just that, Forbidden. I hope last years episode will not happen again." This time the look was aimed at Penny Weasley and some of her friends. "Now for the annual song!"
At this everyone started to sing all at a different pace the school song.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy-warty Hogwarts.
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees.
Our minds could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff.
For now they're bare,
And full of air.
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot.
Do your best and we'll do the rest.
And learn until our brains all rot." Sang the students, everyone was ending at different times.
"Wonderful. Wonderful," Said McGonagall with an overly strained smile. "Now I ask the prefects to lead the first years to their dorms. Goodnight everyone."
The Cailean and all the other first years then followed the prefect out of the Great Hall and through what seemed a million corriders and in to plenty of hidden doors. Finally they arrived at their dorm. Cailean, Avel, Branwen, Caesy, and Tracy all went into one room and got ready for bed. Their trunks where already there. Cailean fell asleep listening to the gentle sounds of the other girls breathing and the stars singing in the sky.
~AN: Yeah I'm finally done. Thank God! I have parts of the other episodes written so it won't be much longer now. Thanx for being so patient!
