(Hey everyone…I wanna leave you all a note or something cause I personally love reading and writing them but I donno what to say….oh wait! Thank you all so much for reviewing, because if you don't review I don't know if I should update it so…you see? Ok well on with the story)
It was three days before school started and Carrie and family were moving into their new house. Much to Vernon's dislike his house was in total chaos. His step-brother was packing all his family's luggage into the car while his wife was trying to pile Carrie into the car, but Carrie was to busy looking for her favorite book to care they were leaving. Finally when everything was under some sort of control the two families said their good-byes.
"Petunia you don't know how much you helped us out while we were waiting to move into our house!" Aunt Abby exclaimed as Carrie rolled her eyes.
"Mom let's go!" Carrie said tugging on her mother's sleeve while Uncle Taylor honked the car horn.
"Alright honey, Bye everyone!" Abby said for the tenth time and headed to the car.
"Bye Harry, have fun at school!" Carrie said winking before she scampered off to the car.
The Dursley's and Harry waved good-bye as the car drove out of the drive way and down the street. As soon as the car was out of view Vernon turned angrily on Harry.
"You didn't tell them did you?!?!" He bellowed.
"Nope, sure didn't," Harry replied simply. It was the truth after all, Carrie had already known. Vernon glared at Harry as he stormed into the house. Sighing Harry wistfully glanced down the street. He already missed Carrie's happy nature and the pranks she pulled on Dudley. At least I'll be able to see her again in three days, Harry thought to himself as he walked into the house.
A few hours after they left Carrie and family arrived at their new house. Carrie hopped out of the car and glanced around. It was wonderful; they lived by a lake, a huge forest and near a small town that was chock-full of wizards.
"MOM!" Carrie shouted happily. "I'm gonna go explore!"
"Ok, just don't go into the forest and take Rebel."
"Alright," Carrie said. She then called for her furry companion. "When's dad going to go check in at the castle? I wanna go with him."
"Oh I won't be going for a while," Taylor said as he carried a load of boxes into their new small house.
"OK see you later!" Carrie shouted as she bounded off.
"Remember, don't go into the forest!" Abby called after her daughter.
"Right mom!" Carrie shouted waving. "You and I both know that's exactly what we're going to do right Rebel?" The small gray barked in reply. "OK then let's go."
With that girl and dog bounded into the strange forest.
Harry wandered around Platform 9 ¾ looking for Carrie. The train was about to leave and she still was there. Sighing Harry bordered the train as it let out one final whistle. As the train jolted forward Harry began to slowly make his way to the compartment where Ron and Hermione were waiting. Harry opened the door and along with Ron and Hermione Harry saw Fred and George waiting.
"So where's Carrie?" Fred asked hopefully. Ron smacked Fred on the back of the head.
"Hello! She's three years younger than you!" He shouted.
"No! She's two and a little more than a half years younger than me! Besides it's not like you like her…you like…" Fred was cut off as Ron lunged at him and tackled him. Harry rolled his eyes and sat down next to George.
"Yeah, well where is she?" Hermione asked.
"I donno, she wasn't there," Harry replied. "Maybe we just missed her."
"Probably," Ron said picking himself up off his older brother.
The train ride to Hogwarts was relatively uneventful. After playing about ten games of Exploding Snaps with Ron, Harry decided to stop, he was getting bored of the game. After a few more minutes the train stopped and everyone plied out of the train. Hagrid lead all the first years away from the rest of the kids and waved to Harry.
Harry, Ron and Hermione plied into one of the horseless carriages. After a short and bumpy ride they arrived at the school. Joking and laughing the three some made their way into the Grand Hall only to run into a very hyper Carrie.
"HARRY! RON! HERMIONE!" She shouted as she bounded up to them. "I've been waiting for like…EVER for the train to get here!"
"Wait, you didn't ride the train?" Harry asked confused.
"Nope," Carrie said her eyes green and sparkling. "OH! Guess what!" She shouted hopping up and down.
"What?" Hermione asked smiling at her new friend's excitement.
"I'm in the same house as you guys!"
"You were already sorted? When?" Ron asked.
"Uhhh…yesterday," Carrie answered. "Come on, I already have our seats." With that Carrie scampered over to the Gryffindor table.
"How was she sorted yesterday if she got here today?" Ron asked his friends under his breath.
"Maybe she didn't get here today," Hermione said. "Maybe she got here yesterday or the day before."
"Impossible, they left my house three days ago to move into their new house…" Harry's voice trailed off as he saw Uncle Taylor sitting up at the table with the teachers. "Guys! That's Uncle Vernon's step brother!" Harry exclaimed pointing to the teacher table.
"Yes it is, why is it taking you guys so long to walk over to the table?" Carrie asked from behind Harry.
"What's your dad doing here?" Harry inquired.
"He's a new teacher, now come on, let's GO! Carrie want food!"
"Well we have to wait for the sorting to be over," Ron said as Carrie led everyone to the table.
"Well the sooner we sit the sooner they'll sort," Carrie explained plopping down into a seat.
"Hey Carrie," Fred said. (hehe it rhymes) "Why weren't you on the train?"
"I was already here," Carrie explained gazing longingly at her plate. "My dad's a new teacher here, so we moved into a house at the edge of the school's property. It's pretty cool. You guys'll have to see it soon."
"Oh ok," Hermione said from the other side of Carrie. "Are you going to live at your house or what?"
"No, I'm going to be living here like everyone else, thank god, I couldn't live with my parents for that long."
Just then the sorting began and a hush came over all of the students, and the sorting began. After awhile Carrie got bored with watching the sorting and began to have a funny face contest with Fred. After the sorting was done Dumbledore gave his beginning of the year speech. Finally after reminding the students not to go into the Forbidden Forest the feast began.
The tables were filled with food beyond Carrie's wildest dreams. Everywhere she looked sights of wonderful food filled her eyes. Smiling she along with everyone else lunged for the food before and piled their plates high. After Carrie had stuffed herself with every kind of food possible and looked at Harry, who was sitting across from her talking to Ron. Carrie looked over at Fred and grinned.
"Oh Fred," Carrie said pleasantly. "Can you please pass the mash potatoes?"
"Sure, here," Fred said as he passed Carrie a bowl full of white lumpy potatoes. She spooned out a small mass onto her plate and set the bowl back down. Carrie then loaded her spoon up with some mash potatoes and fired it at Harry. Harry looked around the table looking for the kid who had beamed him with the mash potatoes; his eyes fell on Carrie who was trying as hard as she could to hold back a fit of laughter.
"Oh you are so dead!" Harry shouted as he tossed a handful of cake at Carrie. The cake hit Carrie right in the face and splattered all over her robes.
Carrie's face fell and she picked up some ice cream off of her plate and heaved it at Harry, who moved out of the way and the ice cream hit some poor kid at another table in the back of the head.
"FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!" Fred and George shouted and the entire Grand Hall began to heave assorted food at the different tables. After a good long while the teachers put a stop to the mayhem and sent everyone to bed. Carrie climbed up the stairs to the Common Room talking all the way with Fred, George, and Lee planning on how to get all the teachers and the Slytherins. Harry chuckled to himself as he over heard some of the planning; from the sound of things this year was going to be very interesting.
