*~*Sorting Ceremony*~*

I looked at Professor McGonagall. She brought out a stool that had an ugly hat on it. It began to sing, "Oh, you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in you head, The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil; Our yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make you real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm a Thinking Cap!" I was astounded. I heard the thunderous applause. I watched as McGonagall unrolled a scroll. She called, "Black, Akiko." I walked up to her and she smiled at me and said, "Ok sit down and I will put this hat on your head." I nodded and I sat. I watched as my world went dark. I heard, 'So the daughter of Sirrus Black has finally come. I am very glad that you are here. Now let's see. Yes you are a very powerful witch. You would do well in Slytherin and Gryffindor. I can also tell that you don't want to be noticed as famous. So you shall be put in…GRYFFINDOR!' I felt the hat be lifted off of my head. I stood and I saw that Harry was coming for me. I walked to him and I took his hand. I sat next to him. I saw ron and three more red heads. I heard, "So you are the kid that pissed off Malfoy. My name is Lee Jordan. Welcome to Hogwarts." I smiled and I heard, "Akiko, my name is George Weasley and this is my twin Fred. Oh and that is our sister Ginny." I saw the three other weasley's and I said, "It is nice to meet you all." I looked at harry and I pleaded with my eyes. He smiled and said, "All right guys. She has had a very hard day and I am very sure that she is exhausted." I nodded and we heard, "Well a new year has come. I would like to review some rules. The forest on school property is forbidden. There is to be no students out in the halls at night. Now dig in." I looked down and I saw that my plate was full with stir-fry. I ate happily.

*~*20 min Later*~*

I sat next to Harry and I was falling asleep. I heard, "Are you all right aki?" I looked up and I saw that it was Harry. I said, "I am very sleepy." He smiled and said, "Well we are going to our house common rooms. Do you want a piggyback ride?" I nodded and I climbed onto his back and he walked with the other gryffindors. I watched as the paintings waved at me. I smiled tiredly. We got to the painting of a fat lady and the prefect said, "Senora Coco." I watched as the painting swung open and I saw a doorway into the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry walked inside and we went upstairs and he let me slide off of his back. He said, "This is your floor. Go through this door and you will find your trunk and your bed. Good night. I will see you in the morning." I smiled and I gave harry a hug and I went through the door.

*~*Girls Dorm*~*

I saw Hermione and she said, "Hey Akiko. Your things are over here next to mine." I smiled and I went to my bed and I sat down and I fell asleep.

*~*Hermione's POV*~*

I heard snoring. I turned around and I saw that Akiko was already asleep. I laughed and I opened her trunk and I got out one of her nightgowns and I picked up Akiko and we went into the bathroom. I changed her clothes. I then took her back to her bed and I rolled back the covers and I Lied her down on the bed. I tucked her in and I said, "Good night Aki." Then I went to bed.

*~*Next Morning: 6:00am Akiko's Pov*~*

I woke up and I got out of my bed. I changed my clothes and I left. I went to the Quidditch field and I began to stretch. I then began to run. I heard, "Miss Black what re you doing out here at this time?" I just ignored the voice till I finished my run. I looked up and I saw that it was Professor Dumbledore. I said, "Well sir I always wake up early and run. It is just my routine." He smiled and nodded. I said, "Uh sir. I wanted to talk to you. I am an animagnus." He looked at me and said, "When did you prefect the spell?" I said, "Well it was about a month ago. I was at home, in my secret room. I didn't tell my daddy or Harry. I didn't think they would like that I could change into my animal form." He sat me down and said, "Could you show me?" I said, "All right." I stood and I walked away from the professor. I began to chant. I felt the energy rush over my body.

*~*Dumbledore's POV*~*

I watched as the light around Akiko faded. I saw a black lioness that if looked at another way looked a deep blood red. I saw ivory white wings. I saw her light green eyes. I sat astounded. I thought, 'Now that is amazing. She's the youngest Animagnus in the wizarding world. I have to notify the Ministry. She is very powerful.' I watched as she stretched her wings and began her flight. I looked at her eyes and I saw that she was having the time of her life. I heard, "Professor What kind of creature is that?" I turned and I saw that it was Hagrid. I said, "Well Hagrid that isn't a real animal. It is one of the new first years. She wanted to tell me that she has become an animagnus. Akiko come down here!" I watched as she landed and transformed into her human form.

*~*Akiko's POV*~*

I smiled and asked, "Well what do you think professor?" He grinned at me. He said, "That was very impressive. But now I must inform the Ministry of the newest animagnus. There is one thing that I would like to know. How did you combine two animals?" I said, "Well I just changed the spell and added a few words. After a little practice I will be able to change on command." He said, "Well Akiko I would like to introduce you to Professor Rubeus Hagrid. He teaches Care for Magical Creatures. Now why don't we all go inside for breakfast." I shook hands whit Hagrid and I walked inside with them. I walked inside and I heard, "Miss Black here is your schedule." I took the piece of parchment. I sat at my table and I waited fro Harry.



How will the first day of magic go?
