THEY'RE ONLY 30 YEARS APART....
Chapter One - First day at Hogwarts
First I want to say that I'm not a really good English writer, but I hope you understand the plot. I know some people are born to flame, but if you don't, then please be honest, and tell me what you think. Thank you!!
Oh, of course I do not own any of these things, except for the story, Chris and Megan. You can use her if you want, but I doubt that :) But of course, if you want to thank somebody, thank JK Rowling! Without her this fanfic and many others wouldn't be possible. Have fun.
Maybe some characters are a little bit out of character, like Ginny, but she won't play a big part in the story, so please don't mention that. I hope I've helt the other characters the same.

Megan woke up of the ringing of her alarm. It was not even 6 O Clock, but she immediately felt a happy feeling, and knew exactly what it was. Today was going to be her first day at Hogwarts!! She was really excited, and she quickly dressed. Then she ran to her parentsroom. "MOM, DAD, IT'S MORNING!!" She opened the curtains, but it was for no use as the sun wasn't set yet. Her mother groaned, and her father turned on his other side. Finally they had to stood up, because nobody can sleep trough the excited yelling of a girl (yeah, of course YOU can, rebel). Megan was still running trough the room, and she knew she was really acting like a little child, but she didn't care. Starting from today she was going to do everything she never believed: Cast spells, curse people she didn't like and even flying on a broom!! Her parents were both muggle, and when she got that letter they first thought about a stupid joke. But when they got another letter, brought by a owl, they had to respond. So not long after that Megan had bought a wand, magic books, an owl, and some other stuff she had never seen before.
It had been quiet a shock to see all those magicians doing spells like it's nothing. Would Megan be able to do the same thing over a few months? So many questions were rushing into her head. Would she find some nice friends on her new school? How shall we being teached? Does all of the pupils are being this nervous? How come she never heard about Hogwarts before? Since she had seen those magiciens she hadn't doubt about the existence of the school.
"Hogwarts express.... Platform 9¾.... Where the heck is that?" Megan asked herself. Her parents weren't with her, because Megan thought that was childish. And so she was standing to platform 9. She had searched the whole station, but couldn't find it. Just when she started to despair, she saw a group heading to her. She saw they had the same stuff as she did, so they walked to them. "Excuse me, are you going to Hogwarts too?"
A boy with red hair nodded. A girl, also red haired, jumped forward. "Are you going too? Hogwarts is great."
"I hope... Where can I find platform 9¾?"
Another boy grinned. "You're just as Muggle-thinking as Harry was. Right Harry?"
The boy, probably named Harry, grinned too. "You have to go trough the wall between platform 9 and 10." he said.
Megan's eyes grow big. "What do you mean? Going TROUGH the wall?"
"That's right! I'll show you!"
Harry prepared, and then ran to the wall. Megan expected to hear a bang or something, but she just saw Harry disappear. The girl looked to Megan. "That was cool, huh? Why don't you try it? Just run!"
Megan looked to the girl, and then to wall. "I-I don't know.." she said.
The girl looked disappointed. "Oh, come on! Let's go together then!"
That was quiet respectable. If they would crush to the wall, she wouldn't be alone. She could live with that. She nodded, and she muttered "okay.". She grabbed her stuff together, and looked to the girl. "What's your name?" the girl asked.
"Megan Reynolds."
"Alright Megan, I'm Ginny Weasly. Here we go!"
From that moment everythings went pretty fast. She wasn't thinking clearly anymore, and could only think about what Ginny said: Just run! So she did, closed her eyes, and kept on running. Suddenly she felt a strange feeling, like she was falling, but it disappeared straight away before she could scream, and when she opened her eyes she was standing on a busy platform, with the strangest train she had ever seen. Ginny had to laugh because of the look on Megan's face. Megan was bumped away by another red haired boy. "Sorry," she muttered, and walked forwards. The train was huge, and the people who were walking around were absolutely very strange to Megan. Suddenly her eye fell on a group of 3 boys, who were badgering a boy. "Who are that?" she asked to Ginny.
"Malfoy and his gang."
"Is Malfoy his first name??"
Ginny laughed. "No, of course not. His name is Draco Malfoy. The other are crabbe and goyle. They're the slaves of Malfoy." Ginny looked irritating. "They're always being mean to everyone. I hope you don't belong to slytherin, that's where they are in. Shall we search for a seat?"
Megan nodded again, and followed Ginny to a compartment where the other boys were to. "Megan, this is Ron Weasly, my brother, this is Hermione Granger, and this is Harry Potter. Dudes, meet Megan."
"Hey Megan, is this your first year?" Ron asked.
She nodded. "Which year are you in?"
"5th already. I'm wondering who's going to give us DaDa this year!"
"Oh, will there be a new one?" Megan asked.
"Yeah, for the 5th year.... Will Dumbledore give the job to Snape this year?"
Ron looked to Harry. He shrugs his shoulders. "I really don't know. I hope he will, maybe Snape is being so cold because he doesn't like teaching potions. Maybe he'll be totally different teaching DaDa."
Hermione shaked her head. "I doubt that. He's mean, and he'll always be mean."
"Oe!!" Ron said. "You finally have a reverse to a teacher??"
"Oh come on Ron!" Hermione said. "I don't hate the guy, I just say he's not my favourite."
"Who is, then?"
"I don't know."
"Finally something you don't know. Shouldn't you search into your books for the answer now? I mean, that's what you always do!"
"Ron-" Harry said.
Hermione angrily looked to the other side. Grinny turned to Megan. "Pleasant, huh?"
Then the door opened, and the face of the boy named Draco appeared.
"Ah, Ginny! I see you've lowered yourself to first years already?"
"Shut up Malfoy." Ginny said.
"Ah," Draco said again. "And there we've got mudblood too!"
Megan looked to Ginny. "What's a mudblood?"
Ginny wanted to say to be quiet, but Draco heared it anyway.
"That's a wizard with muggle parents. I think it's TERRIBLE to be a mudblood. I would kill myself if I was.. You really didn't know that? Then you must be a mudblood yourself, aren't you?"
"Er.... What are muggles?"
Draco's face cleared up. "You don't even know what a muggle is?? MAN! That's a non-wizard, for your information."
"Oh, well, then I must be a mudblood. But it's not that bad, really."
Draco laughed. "Not that bad? Are you serious? You'll soon be shown the difference between mudbloods like you and full wizards like me. But I'm leaving this compartment now, because I don't want to be infected with those mudbloods bacteria."
He closed the door again, and Ron sighed. "Don't mention him, he's just a loser who thinks he's better than everybody else."
After informing Megan about the good and bad sides of Hogwarts, the cool and not so cool teachers, the houses, the trio's adventures, and even the food, they heard a message. "We're almost to the station, please change clothes, and sit down. Thank you."
So they did, and not much later they were standing on the platform.
"First years this way!!" they heard a woman screaming.
"I suppose you have to go that way, I'll catch you later at the ceremonie!!" Ginny called, and she pushed Megan towards the group which had gathered around the woman. She saw a pretty nervous girl standing next to her. "Hi!" the girl said. "Exciting huh?"
Megan nodded. The girl, named Chris Avron, started talking about everything and nothing and Megan felt relieved when they could see Hogwarts, and everybody had to be silence. The beautiful sight of Hogwarts towers and the twinkling of the lake felt really familiar. They were lead into the castle, and into a great hall. There were very large tables, and she saw Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione waving. She waved back, but her smile disappeared when she saw the cold look of Draco Malfoy. The large group first years was being placed against the wall. She then suddenly heard an awful singing. When Megan asked who was singing that bad, Chris pointed at a hat. Megan first thought that she was dreaming, but the hat was really singing. When it finally stopped, the lady who had lead her to the school stand up. "When I say your name, you can step forwards and take a seat." she said.
"Avron, Sascha!"
The girl walked to the stool, sat down and Ms McGonagall put the hat on her head. A short silence fell, and then the hat shouted: "Hufflepuff!"
Everybody applaused, and the girl walked to the table.
Prof McGonagall went on.
"Arenkin, Irec!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Atrem, Karl!"
"Gryffindor!!"
"Avron, Chris!"
Chris jumped up, and walked to the stool, very nervously. She sat down, and even before the hat was being put on her head, it shouted: "Ravenclaw!!", like it didnt want to be put on her head.
More people were being sorted, and then Prof McGonagall finally arrived at the R.
"Megan Reynolds!"
Megan walked to the hat and sat down, trying not to look nervous. But that was very hard, as the hat didn't say a thing.
Everybody hold his breath. Time went on. "Please, sort me..." Megan whispered after 30 seconds. "Please..."
"Yeah, I'm busy," she heard a voice. "But it's very hard. Ravenclaw would be good, but Slytherin might have some people you like. Hm... Difficult. What do YOU think?"
"Er.. Me? I don't really care, but please sort me!"
"Oh, well, okay. In that case, RAVENCLAW!"
Megan was relieved that she was sorted anyway, and so she walked to the table where Chris was sitting too.
"Alright! I knew you would be in Ravenclaw! You really have the spirit of a Ravenclaw!!" she yelled. "But why did it took him so long?"
"He didn't knew where to sort me: Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Then he chose Ravenclaw."
"He doubted between Ravenclaw and Slytherin? Thank god you're in Ravenclaw!! I wouldn't like be sorted in Slytherin at all. Almost all of the deatheaters were in Slytherin!"
"Death-what?" Megan asked.
"Gee, you have to learn a lot about this magic world! Death eaters are the followers of You-Know-Who."
"No, I don't know who. Who?"
Chris was very shocked. "You don't even know THAT! Oh my... You-Know-Who is -sorry, WAS- the strongest and most powerful wizard on earth. That wouldn't be such a problem, if he was on the good side...."
"Oh, so he isn't?"
"No, he isn't at all. He's the worst wizard on earth. He and his followers killed a lot of people who weren't on his side. Even if you were, your life wasn't sure. You-Know-Who lost his power when he tried to curse a baby, Harry Potter."
"Harry Potter? But... He didn't tell me!"
"No of course he didn't, stupid! His both parents died, because of You-Know- Who. And now they say he has risen again."
"Is You-Know-Who his real name?"
"No, but I'm not going to tell you his real name. Everybody fears it."
"Oh, come on! It won't do you any harm!"
"NO!"
"Oh, sorry for asking... Hey, Dumbledore wants to say something!"
She was right. Everybody was sorted, and Dumbledore stood up, and asked everybody to be silence.
"Welcome, everybody! Before we're going to eat this delicious meal, I want to say a few things. I hope you'll feel home, and feel welcome. The dark forest is still forbidden, so don't visit it, unless you want a pretty dangerous monster on your back. This year the Quidditch cup will be given away again, and don't forget about the battle between the houses." Dumbledore looked at Draco Malfoy.
"I don't mean REAL battles, of course. And now a subject you all will be very curious to. The history of our Defend Against the Dark Arts isn't really good."
Everything fell really silent now, as Dumbledore expected.
"I won't spin around it. This time I wanted to be sure that you all will get good lessons, from the right person. And who else could possibly do it......"
He coughed, to break the silence. Then he went on.
"better than..... ME!"

Okay, this is the first part!! I must confess, not much romance in this one. Actually, NO romance in this one, not even Snape's name.... But I promise it will in the later parts. I really don't know when that part will come.... But I'll write it as soon as possible. Please be a TRUE READER, and REVIEW!!! Tell me what you think!! Give me your tips, your advice! Tell me I shouldn't write English fics, if that makes you happy. BUT PLEASE REVIEW!!
