The new girl
Two weeks before Christmas vacation:
"No! I'll stay here! You can't take me away from everything I have here! The culture, my mother, my home, you just can't!" I screamed at my idiotic great uncle. Sure everyone thought he was a nice old man, but he is a prick to the family. So what if I am a witch? Why do I have to go to school in London? Away from Canada?
"I just won't!"
I ran out of the room and slamming the door. You seemed to stumble on my like story right about now. Seems you have missed quite a lot. Well I am 15 now, people call me Dee, but when I feel the need to, they can call me by my full name, witch is Sadie Marie. But that is only at the odd occasion, my funeral, christening, etc.
My background is probably the most interesting thing about me. I am part Mermaid, part magic. Deadly combination so I have been told. Had the whole Romeo and Juliet thing going down. Mother is the queen of the sea, father loved to explore and learn about the sea. And wouldn't you know it? Was killed but accident! Well, on purpose, but by a misunderstanding. Here, I give you a ruff draft. He's in a bar of twenty some odd wizard having a party. Arors came and decided that the room was full of Death eaters, which none of them were, and killed them all. Kind of "oops! Sorry bout your luck!" and they covered that up good.
Now to me! The whole part mermaid thing is mind-boggling. The whole concept of conception is pretty scary! But for the first 9 years of a mermaid's life, they live as a mortal, or muggle and the wizards like to call it. Then the next 10 are as a mermaid! But unfortunate for me, I am part witch, making me stay for 5 years mermaid, and the next 5 years as a witch! Great! 5 years with my uncle.
On to the old geezer, you may know him as headmaster Dumbledore? Yes that old shit for brains has a family! What? Thought he was all of a sudden placed on this earth by the Gods to fight the forces of evil? Nah! He is kind of nice, and Hogwarts is legendary, good for classes. But the whole non-muggle thing is so eighteenth century of them. Really! Quite a bother! But if I play my cards right, I could use this to my advantage. I walked back into the room to see my uncle looking out the window.
"I have a proposition to make with you Unky Alby," I said using the nickname I gave him and a child. "I will go to Hogwarts on the terms that you transfigure my CD player, lap top. Computer, and TV to work at Hogwarts.
He smiled wearily and nodded his head.

I was on a train going to Hogwarts alone. "Oh I wish I could apeaperate! Then I could of gotten there a shit load faster!" I said to no one in particular. I changed on the train and waited quite impatiently for the train to get to Hogwarts. I was supposed to meet a man named Hagrid as soon as I got off the train. He was going to take me on a boat ride to the castle. I sighed "oh well. At least I will get to take a boat ride. My last good bye to water. I am going to hate this." I buried my head into my new Hogwarts stuff. The uniform was so ugly. Sure you could move in it, but so thirteenth century. Covering everything, what a change from the shells I wore for the last 5 years. Well, a little altering never hurt anyone!
15 minutes later:
"And its the NEW HOGWARTS UNIFORM!' I announced in my cheesy announcer voice." doesn't she look lovely Pat?" "Oh yes Daniel! The way she stilled this uniform is quite cute! I replied to myself in falsetto "how did you do it Sadie Marie?" "Oh Pat! You silly thing! Magic of course!" wow. Am I a loser or what? I thought to myself. And before anyone reading could answer, a loud voice came over the PA.
"NOW ARRIVING AT HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY! ENJOY YOUR STAY!"
I bounded out of the compartment and ran into a very tall person. "Well you must be the new girl. I'm Hagrid."
"New to you maybe, I'm Dee. Nice to meet you!" I am going to puke! Suck it up, you can live, just get to your room and go on the computer. Think of your precious computer.
AND SO ENDS MY FIRST CHAPTER!!! YAY! NOW REVIEW AND MAKE ME HAPPY!
