Hey, wow! Another chapter! This is amazing. This is a lot faster than I
thought I would get these out. I love all my reviewers! You guys make the
world go round! Here are my thanks to you:
Coconut-ice agent h/h- OMG! I remember you from my other story. Thanks for reading this story also and reviewing. I'm so glad that I'm writing stories that you like. I glad that you like the title. I didn't want to use something that has been used a few, let's see . . . hundred times? I'll update this and my other fic soon. Hopefully you like my quicker updates. The only thing is, I don't have the very long chapters. I'm so happy that you're a fan! If you're going to curse me, I wouldn't mind with the 1000 reviews! Keep reviewing!
Blizzard- I don't know why the parents took so long . . . and I wrote the fic. Well, to tell the truth, I needed a big reason on why the family would move so I came up with this idea. I think it took them so long because they were too shocked to do anything. Living as a muggle, I don't think magic pops into your head the second something bad happens. It's more like OMG!
Shurrani- I'm happy that you liked the chapter! I'll definitely continue the story as well as my other one.
Nabiki- I'm typing as fast as I can! Really, I'm working on two stories. I type as soon as I get an idea so hopefully I don't go brain dead. If you have any ideas, let me know I can use whatever I can get.
Jenn- OMG! We have the same name and we spell it the same way! So many people spell it Jen but I spell it Jenn. I'm so happy that you like the story! Keep reviewing!
Chibi- as you can see, yes Harry and Amy are both going to Hogwarts.
Cartooned- Two people have told me that their name was Amy. I guess I picked a good name huh? It's one of my favorites. Keep reviewing!
Them Girl- Keep reading and reviewing!
Joe- I try to be unique. Have you read my other story? It's really unique.
Claudia- I'm glad that you like the story. Another reviewer told me that her name was Amy also. I guess I picked a great name huh? It's one of my favorites.
ViperPunk66- Could you possibly send ideas? I need all the ideas I can get.
*************************************************
They reached the hospital wing in no time. They picked a lucky time because all of the students were in their common rooms. It was late at night and no one should be out.
The nurse came out of a little room connected to the infirmary when they walked in. She took one look at the teenager and rushed him to a bed. After checking him over, she went over to a cabinet and took out a few goblets filled with different potions. She brought them over and put them onto a bedside table.
"Is this Harry Potter?" the nurse asked.
"Yes," Dumbledore answered.
"Where's his scar? I thought he had a scar as a baby," Madam Pomfrey asked confused.
"We had it removed," John said. "As a baby, it caused him pain. We couldn't deal with that so we magically removed it."
"We have to get him to take these," she said pointing to the goblets. "They will make him heal faster."
"That's impossible," Amy said. The nurse looked up at her.
"Why's that?" she asked.
"Because I know my brother. He won't take them. I'm not sure how he's going to take being here in the first place," Amy answered. Madam Pomfrey looked over Amy.
"How are you? No injuries?" she asked.
"Just a few scratches I think," Amy said.
"He's going to have a fit," Susan said pulling up a chair next to her son's bed.
"He'll deal with it," John said. "After a while. Actually, after a very long time, but he'll get used to it."
"I don't suppose this school has a choral program or a drama program," Amy said.
"Nope," Sirius said. "Not that I know of."
"It'll take a very long time to get used to this," she said.
"We'll start looking for a house soon," Susan said. Harry groaned and moved but stopped in pain.
"Give him this," Madam Pomfrey said handing the goblet to John, who sat down next to his son.
"Hey, Harry, drink this," he said holding it up to the boy's lips. Harry drank a little before coughing. Harry then drank the rest before falling back asleep. He was too tired to resist the liquid. Plus, it was his father giving it to him. It wasn't a strange, plus, he didn't know he was at Hogwarts.
"He should be alright by tomorrow," the nurse said.
"Now that that's taken care of," Dumbledore said. "We have a spare room that you can sleep in until you find a house. If you'll come with me, I'll show you where it is."
"I'd rather stay here if you don't mind," Susan said. "I'd rather spend the night with him. If he wakes up and doesn't see us, I don't want him to panic."
"Understandable," Dumbledore said. "Poppy, could you please set up a few beds for them for the night?"
"Certainly headmaster," the nurse said before walking away to prepare some beds. She made them in the back of the room. She didn't want any of the students to come in and see the family.
"Are we doing to live in the muggle world still?" Amy asked her mother.
"I hope so," she replied.
"We'll look for a house tomorrow or as soon as possible," John said.
"I have something to give both you and your brother," Dumbledore said taking two letters out of his robes. He handed one to Amy and the other he put on the table next to Harry's bed. "That is for if you decide to enroll here."
Amy opened the letter.
*Miss Williams,
We are proud to announce that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Term starts on September first. *
"Students are already here?" she asked. Dumbledore nodded. Amy looked at another paper in the letter. It was the list of supplies. She looked down at it. It was basically just books, potion supplies, a cauldron, and clothes. Her eyes went wide when she read something on the list. They needed a wand. They never used a wand before.
"Mom," she said quietly.
"Yes dear?" Susan asked.
"It says that we need a wand," she said. "We never used a wand before."
"You never used a wand?" McGonagall asked surprised. They knew they were magical but they never used a wand before.
"Never," Amy replied.
"You'll learn fast enough," Dumbledore said. "We have people who can help you. At Hogwarts, there are four houses, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor. Usually we have a hat that would tell us who goes in which house but it doesn't work after the sorting ceremony. Since your actions just before, I'm going to put both of you in Gryffindor. The Gryffindor prefect can help you learn quickly. Plus, Professor McGonagall here is the head of Gryffindor house."
"It shouldn't be that hard," John said. "You've already studied hard. You know a lot more than you think."
"You've studied magic?" Sirius asked.
"Everyday," Amy replied.
"Wow. Albus, what year are you putting them in?" Sirius asked.
"I'll put them in their sixth year. We'll go through with them the things that they don't know from the other years. They should be fine," Dumbledore said.
"What classes are we taking?" Amy asked.
"The normal classes such as Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, History of Magic and others. We usually let the students pick electives but we might use up that time for other purposes. We'll use that time to review the other years."
"When are we starting?"
"As soon as possible," Dumbledore said.
"We'll talk to the Gryffindor prefects and they'll help you around the castle and through you're classes," McGonagall answered. Sirius as looking down at his godson. No one besides McGonagall, Dumbledore and himself that was in the room, knew that Sirius was Harry's godfather. How they would break it to the teenager would be a guess.
"We'll leave you now to get some sleep," Dumbledore said. "If you need anything, Madam Pomfrey could help you find my office." Dumbledore and McGonagall turned and started leaving before realizing that Sirius wasn't following them. They turned and grabbed Sirius' arm before leaving.
"At least he'll be okay," Susan said looking at her son sleeping in the bed. At the window, they heard a flutter of wings.
"Faith!" Amy exclaimed seeing her owl. Hedwig followed the brown owl in. Hedwig perched herself on Harry's bedpost.
"Owls are extremely smart," John said. Faith perched on Amy's shoulder. She stroked her feathers.
"I can't believe they flew that long," Susan said looking at Hedwig.
"They're loyal," John said. "They do anything to get to their owner."
"You should all get some sleep," Madam Pomfrey said to the group. Amy headed over to a bed and sat down on it. Faith flew to the headboard. Her parents moved to their own beds. The nurse turned off the lights before they all laid down and fell asleep.
Amy opened her eyes the next morning. Her parents were already awake. She looked at her watch. It was eight o'clock. She rubbed her eyes until she put her hands down to someone's voice. Harry was awake! She jumped up to see him dressed and standing. The nurse was looking over him.
"Harry!" she yelled before running over to him and hugging him. He didn't flinch or cry out in pain.
"Good morning to you too!" he said. She let go.
"I'm happy to see everyone awake," Dumbledore said walking into the room. "I thought you might like to eat breakfast before heading out for your supplies."
"That would be a great idea," Susan said smiling.
"I'm hungry," Amy said putting a hand to her stomach.
"Me too," Harry added.
"Let's go then. You get a chance to meet everyone now before classes start," Dumbledore said.
"Students are there?" Amy asked. "I don't want to go if there's students there."
"It'll be fine," Sirius said walking in. "You could sit with me if you want. I sit at the teacher's table."
"Okay," Amy said after thinking about it.
"It'll be fine," Harry said not really wanting to go down himself.
"What are you so worried about?" Susan asked.
"Kids that know how to use a wand," Amy said before smiling up at her mother.
"Oh please," she said. "I bet they would be scared of you."
"Cool!" her children said at the same time.
"We better head down now," Dumbledore said. He turned to Harry. "How are you feeling?"
"Better than yesterday," Harry replied.
"That's good to hear," the headmaster said before leading the group out of the room.
"Whoa!" they heard Harry say. They turned to see him looking at one of the moving pictures.
"That is so cool!" Amy yelled. "Can we get one mom?"
"Maybe later," Susan said laughing at her children's reaction to the pictures. They continued their way towards the Great Hall. They knew they were getting close when they heard the increasing amount of voices.
"You can sit by me," Sirius said before they entered the Great Hall. The tables were packed with students.
"That's the Gryffindor table," Sirius said pointing to one of the tables. All the students were wearing black robes.
"Boy do I not want to wear school uniforms," Amy said to Harry as they followed Sirius and Dumbledore through the middle of the room. Many students looked at them.
"Nor do I want people looking at me," she added.
"Me either," Harry replied back.
"Follow me," Sirius said to them. He headed to a few chairs at the teachers' table.
"Thanks Sirius," Amy said. "I couldn't stand sitting at one of those tables and have everyone look at me.
"Since we're sitting up here, everyone can see us so it doesn't make it any better," Harry replied.
Amy gave him a glare. "Stop bursting my bubble!" she said.
"It's so easy to pop!" Harry said back before taking a seat next to her. They watched as one person from the Gryffindor table came up to the headmaster. They were talking. The girl kept glancing over at them. She had brown hair and was about the same age.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Amy asked.
"Probably about teaching us," Harry answered.
"This is good," John said. He was eating something off his plate. It was a pancake.
"Students!" Dumbledore said after talking to the girl. "May I have your attention." Everyone was quiet.
"Wow," Harry whispered to Amy. "They could never do that at out old school."
"We have a few new people here in school," Dumbledore said. "We have Susan and John Williams, their daughter Amy and son Harry. Amy and Harry are attending classes here in Gryffindor in their sixth year. I ask you all to welcome them to our school. Dumbledore sat down and voices filled the room. This time, everyone was talking about the newcomers.
"What's that?" Amy asked pointing to something on a plate.
"I have no clue," Harry answered looking at it. They took some things on their plates and started eating.
"I suppose you're Harry Potter and Amy Williams," a voice said. They looked up. It was the girl who was talking with the headmaster.
"Yes, that's us," Amy said.
"I'm Hermione Granger," she said holding out her hand. They shook hands. "I'm one of the Gryffindor Prefects here at Hogwarts. I'll be helping you around. If you would like, I'll show you Gryffindor tower."
"We have our own tower?" Amy asked.
"We call it a tower. I'm going to show you the common room and other places around the castle," Hermione answered.
"Cool! I can't wait to see the castle!" Amy said. They said goodbye to their parents before heading out of the Great Hall.
"As you already know, the students are separated into one of four houses. These houses are like your family. There is Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. You can make friends with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff as well as Gryffindor, of course, but I advise you to stay away from the Slytherins. For as long as anyone can remember, Slytherin and Gryffindor have been enemies. Stay away from them. By the way, each house as their own points. They could be taken away or added during classes or Quidditch games."
"You play Quidditch here?" Amy asked.
Hermione nodded. "Each house has their own team. I believe that Gryffindor is still missing a Seeker. They have been missing one for awhile now. No one wants to take the position. I think now we're missing all of the players. They all graduated."
"This will be so cool!" Amy exclaimed. "We can see a real Quidditch game!"
"When's the next game?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure," Hermione answered. "We have to start getting a team together though."
"And quickly," Harry added.
"Here's the library," Hermione said as they passed it. They stopped and looked in. "If you need me, I'll probably be in here."
"The library is huge!" Harry exclaimed looking in. "This is a whole lot bigger than what I go to."
"You read?" Hermione asked. Harry looked at her surprised.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" he asked.
"One of my friends makes fun of me because I spend most of my time in a library."
"So you are a good student," Harry said. "So are we."
"Mom and Dad put strict rules up for us. We always have to work hard. It's not always a bad thing though."
"Not if it helps you in the future," Harry said.
"Well, maybe then I'll see you in the library," Hermione said. They continued walking past a few classrooms. Hermione stated what the classes were and who taught them as well as what the teacher was like. She told them to avoid Snape, the potions teacher. Their last stop in the school was the Gryffindor common room.
"She guards the entrance to the common room," Hermione said as they stopped in front of the picture of the Fat Lady. "You need to give her a password to gain entrance. The password is Caputopree." The portrait opened to reveal a small hallway.
"This place is amazing!" Amy said as she looked around the common room.
"If I'm not at the library, I'm sitting at one of these tables. There are couches over there. A fire is usually lit everyday but it doesn't get too hot in here so don't worry. The stairs to the right go up to the girl dormitories while on the left, they lead to the boy dormitories. I'll show you to your rooms," Hermione said as they headed up the right stairs. They stopped in front of a door labeled 'Sixth year girls'. They opened the door. Hermione quickly showed Amy where her bed was and where she was sleeping as well before heading over to the boys' side. Hermione showed Harry where he would be sleeping before they headed downstairs and out of the common room.
"Care of Magical Creatures is taught by the hut. Hagrid teaches us. He's a half giant but he's really sweet. The Slytherins give him a hard time though. I don't understand it," Hermione said as they reached the hut. "Hagrid's at breakfast so no one's here but I just wanted to show you where it is. See over there? That's the Quidditch field." She pointed over across the grounds. They saw the stands.
"This place is incredible," Harry said.
"Let's head back to the Great Hall. I'm going to go with you to Diagon Alley and help you with your supplies." They headed back across the grounds and into the school. Students were in the hallways. Breakfast was over and classes were about to begin. After making their way through the people, they reached the Great Hall.
"How was the tour?" Dumbledore asked kindly as the three Gryffindors reached him. He was talking to Susan and John. Sirius left them to go somewhere else of importance.
"This place is incredible!" Amy replied.
"This place is a wonderful school. You'll both love it here."
"Are we ready to go?" Susan asked. It was time that they headed out to buy their supplies.
"Your money should've been moved to the bank by here already," Dumbledore said. He handed them a key. "Here's the key to the vault. Hermione will show you where to go. Have a good time. You can use the fireplace in my office." The group said their good-byes before heading to the headmaster's office.
"Do you know how to use floo powder?" Hermione asked. Since they didn't, she explained everything they needed to know before they headed away from the castle to Diagon Alley.

You can make friends with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff as well as Gryffindor, of course, but I advise you to stay away from the Slytherins. For as long as anyone can remember, Slytherin and Gryffindor have been enemies. Stay away from them. By the way, each house as their own points. They could be taken away or added during classes or Quidditch games."
"You play Quidditch here?" Amy asked.
Hermione nodded. "Each house has their own team. I believe that Gryffindor is still missing a Seeker. They have been missing one for awhile now. No one wants to take the position. I think now we're missing all of the players. They all graduated."
"This will be so cool!" Amy exclaimed. "We can see a real Quidditch game!"
"When's the next game?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure," Hermione answered. "We have to start getting a team together though."
"And quickly," Harry added.
"Here's the library," Hermione said as they passed it. They stopped and looked in. "If you need me, I'll probably be in here."
"The library is huge!" Harry exclaimed looking in. "This is a whole lot bigger than what I go to."
"You read?" Hermione asked. Harry looked at her surprised.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" he asked.
"One of my friends makes fun of me because I spend most of my time in a library."
"So you are a good student," Harry said. "So are we."
"Mom and Dad put strict rules up for us. We always have to work hard. It's not always a bad thing though."
"Not if it helps you in the future," Harry said.
"Well, maybe then I'll see you in the library," Hermione said. They continued walking past a few classrooms. Hermione stated what the classes were and who taught them as well as what the teacher was like. She told them to avoid Snape, the potions teacher. Their last stop in the school was the Gryffindor common room.
"She guards the entrance to the common room," Hermione said as they stopped in front of the picture of the Fat Lady. "You need to give her a password to gain entrance. The password is Caputopree." The portrait opened to reveal a small hallway.
"This place is amazing!" Amy said as she looked around the common room.
"If I'm not at the library, I'm sitting at one of these tables. There are couches over there. A fire is usually lit everyday but it doesn't get too hot in here so don't worry. The stairs to the right go up to the girl dormitories while on the left, they lead to the boy dormitories. I'll show you to your rooms," Hermione said as they headed up the right stairs. They stopped in front of a door labeled 'Sixth year girls'. They opened the door. Hermione quickly showed Amy where her bed was and where she was sleeping as well before heading over to the boys' side. Hermione showed Harry where he would be sleeping before they headed downstairs and out of the common room.
"Care of Magical Creatures is taught by the hut. Hagrid teaches us. He's a half giant but he's really sweet. The Slytherins give him a hard time though. I don't understand it," Hermione said as they reached the hut. "Hagrid's at breakfast so no one's here but I just wanted to show you where it is. See over there? That's the Quidditch field." She pointed over across the grounds. They saw the stands.
"This place is incredible," Harry said.
"Let's head back to the Great Hall. I'm going to go with you to Diagon Alley and help you with your supplies." They headed back across the grounds and into the school. Students were in the hallways. Breakfast was over and classes were about to begin. After making their way through the people, they reached the Great Hall.
"How was the tour?" Dumbledore asked kindly as the three Gryffindors reached him. He was talking to Susan and John. Sirius left them to go somewhere else of importance.
"This place is incredible!" Amy replied.
"This place is a wonderful school. You'll both love it here."
"Are we ready to go?" Susan asked. It was time that they headed out to buy their supplies.
"Your money should've been moved to the bank by here already," Dumbledore said. He handed them a key. "Here's the key to the vault. Hermione will show you where to go. Have a good time. You can use the fireplace in my office." The group said their good-byes before heading to the headmaster's office.
"Do you know how to use floo powder?" Hermione asked. Since they didn't, she explained everything they needed to know before they headed away from the castle to Diagon Alley.

I am so surprised! I thought it would take me forever to get these chapters out. Well, don't give up hope if I don't get them done so quickly (This is quick for me!). Please keep reviewing. Review your ideas on anything you want to see in this story. Some I will use if not all.
