Disclaimer: Characters belong to J.K Rowling, except for the ones I made up and the ones others made up. The story is mine. I took things from Lion King, Gilmore Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, many of Nora Roberts Books, a couple things (turned into my own) from Cassandra Claire's Draco series (wonderful story, read it!) And a bunch of other things that I can't think of right now.

NAME: Arabella Demione

YEAR: sixth

DESCRIPTION: she's slim build, 170cm tall, Has short spunky red hair and green eyes.

She is a pure blood and comes from a rich family but her parents dont pay that much attention to her so in the holidays she's got this big house to herself and all the money anyone could ever want.

She is friends with Hermione used to attend Hogwarts with them.

She is lively and VERY talented when it comes to magic. SHE IS ALSO VERY FLIRTY. She's always had a crush on Oliver Wood

OTHER: She Loves writing, reading, but also talking and having fun, SHOPPING especially she IS reserved but around her friends she is L O U D!

would like to become an Auror when she is older.

CHAR NAME: Indiana Jane Jones

DESCRIPTION: Very short brown, almost black, hair and chocolate brown eyes. She's of an average height. She has an extreme dislike of heights. She doesn't look like she could (or would) hurt a fly, but piss her off (an easy thing to do)and you better start running for the nearest exit. She likes to read and knows a lot about ancient gods, magic and so on.

RLATIONSHIP WITH OTHER CHAR: She's the kind of girl that just jumps head- first into everything, then thinks later. She hates shopping(except for books) and hates makeup. She somehow knows about everything that goes on inside the school. She gets along with Draco but thinks that Carrick is to high in the clouds. Her favorite thing to do is annoy the Hell out of everyone. She hates everyone who call her 'Indiana', 'Indy' or 'Jones'.

YEAR: 6th

SPECIAL ABILITIES/ HISTORY: Her parents moved to England from Los Angeles last year, so she still hates them for it. Her mother and father are with the CSI, at the moment investigating something in England. She has no siblings, as far as she knows (she's adopted). She likes to be outside and loves to play Basketball. she likes to learn launguages and knows a bit French, German, Norwegian, Serbian, Italian and Latin.

NAME Kaylina Forage

LOOKS: Brown Eyes, long curly hair, dimples, eyebrows are just right (not too bushy, not too thin)flawless brown skin, and naturally curled eyelashes

ATITUDE: Very fun-loving and very hard to make mad. She tries to be nice to everyone even though that sometimes that can be impossible. She loves to write and you never see her without her diary or somekind of novel she's working on. Supersenstive, and will cry if anyone gets hurt, (or if she gets hurt). Can stand her own ground, and sticks up for herself and her friends. Her fav place to be is in the library writing. She hates needles but loves to fly on her broom stick for the thrill she gets from it. Kayla's always smiling, and knows just what to do if someone's down.

TYPE OF DRESS: Kaylina wears her hair out sometimes, or in a tight bun. She sometimes wears lip gloss, but a lot of makeup irritates her skin. She has lucky shoes strings that she carries around when given a test, and she has a locket with both her parents in it.

PAST: Kaylina's parents died in a car accident when she was only five (they were muggles) and she was placed into an orphanage. After Kaylina's parents died she became really soft, sensetive and gentle. She recieved a Hogwarts leter when she turned 11, and it took her away from the hellhole she had been living in for a long time.

Kaylina ranks number three with the highest grades at Hogwarts agaisnt Draco and Hermione.

NAME: Corrin Avalon

DESCRIPTION: Messy black hair, crystal blue eyes. Tall lanky biuld, gentle features, kind eyes.

PERSONALITLY: Kind, gentle personality. Smart, likes everyone, good friends with Harry and Ron. In Boreus. He is brave and courageous (think Remus personality, no werewolf thingy, just personality). Loves pulling pranks as long as no one gets hurt. Very outgoing and loves people.

HISTORY: Born in England and raised in Texas. Has a cute southern drawl. Grew up on a horse ranch. Plays quidditch and rides horses. Lives with his grandparents on the Isle of Ornay.

FAMILY HISTORY: Legend has it that he is a direct decendent of King Arthur of Avalon. King Arthur's wife the Lady Gwenivere (spelled wrong) are the ancestors of Corrin Avalon.



Okay, those are the characters I am using, plus Cass and Carrick. I have decided to use Kaylina as Carrick's eventual girl. (Believe me, I've got a GREAT idea for those two) Also Harry will be with Cass, Ginny will be with Corrin and Ron will be with Indianna. Hermione will be with Draco. Obviously. I'm also putting in a few other characters, but they aren't VERY important to the plot. I've decided to forgoe with the houses, instead, I'm putting them in dorms. I like that idea better. A little bit of a story outline: First of all, this story is the first in THREE that I'm going to do. They all have something to do with a prophecy. This story is called "Changes". The second story will be called "Choices". And the third will be called "Decisions". Thank you to all who gave me characters, I love them like they were my own. A big thank you goes out to my beta, Sunna, without you, I'd have a crap story. Thanks!

On to the Story!

Changes

A young woman, who looked to be around 16, scanned the sea of people at Platform 9 ¾. She saw many people she knew, and many people she didn't know. When she couldn't find the wizards she was looking for, she sighed and went to stand next to two boys.

"Hey, Hermione!" Seamus Finnagan and Dean Thomas stood there, smiling at her. Beside Dean was a cute little boy who looked scared out of his wits.

"Hello, Seamus. Hello, Dean. How were your summers?" Hermione asked politely. Seamus launched into a detailed description of what he did at his uncle's house in Australia. Hermione listened for a few minutes before she lost focus and looked at the other kids around. She saw Lavender Brown and waved.

"It was amazing, 'Mione, you have to go there one of these days! It's bloody brilliant!"

"Hmm? Oh, yes, I suppose I will one of these days. Hopefully." She smiled at Seamus again, then looked at the boy currently trying to hide behind Dean. "Well Dean, aren't you going to introduce us?"

Dean grinned and pushed the boy forword.

"This is my brother Nathan, he'll be starting his first year at Hogwarts." Hermione smiled at the scared boy and tried to reassure him. "I don't know what your brother told you, but Hogwarts is not scary at all."

"Exactly, the only scary thing there is Granger when she gets up in the morning." A lazy drawl had Hermione stiffening.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Hermione turned around and there he was, with his silver blonde hair, and cocky grin.

"Ooh, Granger, you are really coming up with good come backs, aren't you now?" Malfoy's grin grew wider. "Pretty good, for a mudblood."

Dean and Seamus had their wands out before you could say 'Draco's a slimy git.' Hermione smiled but waved them off.

"Don't worry guys." Her eyes grew hard. "I can handle Malfoy."

Draco was looking amusedly at Seamus and Dean. "Well, well, it looks like Potter and Weasley have changed a bit. Still ugly gits though, aren't they?"

"Where are your goons, Malfoy? You aren't usually this big of a prat without them." Hermione's voice had grown to be just as silky as Draco's. "Aren't you afraid your beautiful face will get smashed in?"

Draco just grew more amused. "Didn't know that you thought my face was beautiful, Granger. Is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Yeah, you look like a girl."

Seamus and Dean roared with laughter as Malfoy grew red. "Now, see here, Granger."

"Oi! Hermione!"

She turned to see Ron and Harry running towards her, Ginny tagging along behind them. Hermione laughed and was swept into a hug by Ron. When he finally let her go, she was out of breath. She had barely enough time to get it back when Harry pulled her into another hug.

"Come off it, let me breath!" Her voice was stern, but her eyes were laughing.

"How are you 'Mione? We didn't see you all summer!" Ron was grinning from ear to ear. He had grown another 2 inches since she last saw him and he now stood at over six feet. Harry wasn't that much shorter.

"I'm fine Ron, I was at my aunt's in Canada all summer."

"Yeah, Ron, give her some room." Ginny weaved her way in between her brother and Harry and gave Hermione a warm smile. "How are you Hermione?"

"Like I said, I'm fine, Ginny. How was your summer?"

Ginny rolled her eyes, "With these two boneheads bugging me? Just guess!"

They both laughed. They stood and made small talk until they heard the train's horn blow.

"We better get on the train then." Hermione said, as she picked up her bags. She turned around to see Draco still standing there, his face turned a strange red colour and he gripped his wand hard. His presence unnerved her, as it always had, but she feigned indifference.

"Oh, are you still there, Malfoy?" She said loftily. "I was sure you would have slinked off by now."

Ron and Harry laughed; Draco's face seemed to grow redder. Was he blushing? Hermione quickly squelched that notion, Malfoy never blushed.

As they passed him, Ron tossed a comment his way. "Wow, it's amazing, but I think you look even more like a ferret than you did last year, Malfoy."

Harry and Hermione laughed with him, not noticing the hard look that came into Draco's eyes, or the smirk that was on his face when he boarded the train.

"Son of a freaking." Ron trailed off when he saw Hermione's look. "Well, look what he did to my robe Hermione!"

Indeed, Ron's usual black Hogwarts robes, were now a shocking pink. Hermione and Harry tried to hide their smiles, but eventually burst out into laughter. Ron glared at them.

"Very funny you two, ha ha." He muttered, "Now Hermione, change them back!"

Hermione sighed, "You know Ron, it's a very easy spell, if you just concentrated." When Ron just glared at her, she sighed again. "Fine then." She quickly did the spell, then sat back in her seat again. After looking at Ron's face, still red with anger, she finally spoke.

"Oh, lighten up, Ron, it was rather funny."

Both Ron and Harry stared at her as if she had grown an extra head.

"Hermione, are you feeling well?" Harry asked, concerned.

Hermione flushed, "I'm fine, Harry, why do you ask?"

"Well the fact that you just said that Draco turning my robes pink was funny, you sure you aren't ill?" Ron said.

Hermione was just about to retort when Ginny and a tall girl with short red hair came into the compartment.

Ginny plopped herself down next to Ron and began rummaging through the bag of Every Flavour Beans he got. The red haired girl sat down next to Harry.

"Hi!" She said, extending her hand. "I'm Arabella Demoine, we've met before, remember?"

Harry blinked a couple times before laughing. "Right, you're in Ravenclaw, right?"

Arabella laughed. "Right!" We were in Divination together, I remember you two making up stuff, it was hilarious!"

Ron and Harry blushed. Hermione just rolled her eyes. They talked for a little while before Ron brought up the inevitable, if slightly tacky, question.

"Right! I remember now, you were that girl caught snogging Oliver Wood after the final Quidditch match last year!"

Arabella blushed a deep red. Hermione understood. Oliver had come to watch the final match between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Arabella had liked Oliver ever since she first came, but he was always too old for her. She guessed that he saw her 'all grown up' after the match.

"Uh, well, I suppose.." Arabella stuttered.

"So, Hermione, what courses are you taking this year?" Ginny interrupted.

Arabella was noticeably relieved when Hermione became animated and started to talk quickly of her new courses.

Hermione, Harry and Ron got off the train as it pulled up to Hogwarts. They were talking and laughing.

"By the Gods, what's going on?" Hermione heard someone scream behind her. The trio looked up and all gasped in shock and horror.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was burning.
