Chapter Four : Slytherin She Shall Be...
~~~~~~
Annie took a seat next to Missy when they arrived to their compartment. Soon after, Snape walked in and walked right across them. "What happen there?" He asked. Annie just kept her eyes down, refusing to look at him. "Well aren't you going to say something?" He asked again, becoming rather annoyed.
"Leave her be. She rarely talks, so there's no point drilling her." Missy told him.
"Why can't she talk?" He asked.
"She just... doesn't. She don't like people much and some don't like her. Don't ask why, it's just the way it is. Always have been since she turned four. Being away from people makes her shy and uneasy like that." Missy explained.
"Didn't she go to school?" He asked, getting more curious of this little child.
"No. Ma and Pa wouldn't hear of it. They thought it was dangerous. But the, of course, we gave it a try after seeing how lonely she seem to be, but on her first day three young girls got hurt and just to let you know, this was in kinder... meaning 5 years old toddlers."
"I see... She just need a little confidence then?"
"Yes... That's all she needs." Missy replied, and went back to comfort Annie.
Snape began thinking, *I'll make her a potion to help her with her confidence.* When the train's whistle blew, Snape stood up and said, "You best put on your school robes. When you get off the train, you will find an overgrown man named Hagrid. Go to him and he will give you instructions. I'll be off now."
"But - " The door slammed before Missy could say another word. She looked at her little sister. "I guess it's just me and you, kiddo." Giving her a small smile. "Promise me something Annie." Annie pulled away from her and nodded. "Be good?" Annie smiled and nodded, "I'll try." Missy smiled back at her. "Good enough, I suppose."
~~~~~~
When the train finally came to a stop, they found there way out the train. Through the white smoke, they saw a huge man gathering up small children. Annie smiled seeing him, and ran to where he was standing; Missy followed. When Annie finally got there, she tugged on his dirty jacket he always wears. He looked down at her smiling. "Now look what I got 'ere. Da new girl we all 'ave 'een waitin' for. Annie, em I right?" She smiled back, nodding. He grabbed her small little and shook it. "I'm Hagrid." He let go of her hand, when she saw another girl running towards them. "Why 'ello der, didn' know e're 'avin' another new student. What year are yer?" He asked, when she stopped in front of him.
"I'm not a student sir. Annie's older sister. My name is Mina, but you may call me Missy."
Hagrid took her hands and shook it. "Hagrid, Missy. No need in calling me sir." He smiled at her gently. Missy smiled back warmly. "Well, now, I don't think anyone knows 'bout Annie 'ere 'avin' an older sister. Why don't yer both get into one of da boats wid da firs' year and I'll lead yer to da HeadMaster."
Annie looked at Hagrid and took his hand with her small elegant one. Hagrid look down at her and winked, making her giggle. As Missy watched these to interact, she smiled, glad that Annie has found a new friend in Hogwarts.

~Hogwarts~
" 'ere we are. Come on now..." Hagrid got off the boat and carried Missy and Annie off. He turned to all the other children and told them to go enter the castle and wait by the front steps. Hagrid then had them us follow him to a statue and whispered something. The statue then began to move and suddenly there was an enterance. They followed up the stair and finally came into an empty room, or so they thought.
"Hello children..."
They turned to the voice and saw none other than Professor Dombledore with a twinkled eye smile. Both girls had a surprised look on their face and ran to hug him. Everyone else in the room looked quite surprised by this. All the other professors were there, except Professor Mcgonagall who was helping out with the first year children.
Missy was the first to pull back. "Is it really you Gramps?"
"Yes Mis, it's me." He looked down and Annie who was still holding on to him. He pulled her away to get a good look at her. "Annie, look how you have grown. Beautiful, just as I imagin." Annie blushed. He looked at both of them and said, "I knew I should have tried to convince your mother to tell you both about your birth right, but she was so set on having you two raised as muggles. She loves Steven too much to tell him the truth." He shooked his head and sat down on his chair.
"We didn't know you had grandchildren." Snape whispered. Now knowing why they seem so familiar.
The girls turned their head to Snape and to the others, just noticing there were others in the room.
The HeadMaster sighed. "Yes, but you see, I wasn't allowed to see them as much as I wanted to."
Annie sat by his feet and layed her head on his knee. Missy looked at him sadly. "You never told us about... this."
He shooked his head and said he couldn't. His face suddenly brighten. "We need a new Muggle Study teacher and you would be great for it, since you lived as a Muggle your whole life. And while your at it, Severus will teach you the basic of witchcraft." Missy loved the idea, except the part of Severus, but she accepted. "Well then, we all should go to the ceremony, since our little Annie here, is our special guest. Why don't you enter from the main enterance doors. Hagrid will lead you." He winked at her as Hagrid lead her out. He then turned to Missy and took her hand and went to the Great Hall. The others followed closely behind.
~~~~~~
~The Halls of Hogwarts~
The trio walked down the halls towards The Great Hall to watch the ceremony. Until they heard a snarling voice. "So where's that retard mud-blood?"
The trio turned around to see Draco. Harry was going to beat the crap out of him, but Hermione held him back and said, "Leave it, Malfoy. We have better things to do than to waste our times with your kind."
"My kind? Better mines than your filth."
Now this ticked off Ron, and he tackled Draco down. They began fighting on the ground, rolling and rolling. Harry tried to pull them apart and Hermione started to scream at the two boys rolling on the ground. All of a sudden, the two boys flew off from each other and just floated in the air, away from each other. They all looked confused about what had just happen. 'til they heard a familiar voice.
"It's da firs' day of school, and yer already gettin' yerself in troubles."
Harry started to grin and Hermione sighed and went to hug him. "Oh, Hagrid. I'm so glad its you, but how did you do that?"
"Wasn't me, but little Annie 'ere." He said, smiling. They turned to a girl who stepped from the shadows.
The other gasped. Harry smiled at her, "Azura?" Annie smiled at him and nodded.
"Ok, ok... No time to chit chat. We got a ceremony to be off too. Annie, yer could put dese two down. Don't think der be no troubles now." Hagrid said, walking towards The Great Halls with Hermione.
Annie lifted her hand towards the two boys in the air and slowely put her hand down to the ground, bringing both boys to settle on their feet. Harry walked towards her, "You're amazing, you know that?" She just looked down and blushed.
"C'mon Harry. We better go if we don't want to miss the ceremony." Ron said as he went to catch up with Hagrid and Hermione. Draco stomped off ahead of them.
Harry turned to Annie and offered his arm. "Shall we?"
Annie smiled and took his arm. Off they went to the ceremony.
~~~~~~
~The Great Hall~
Harry noticed how nervous Annie was becoming, so he tried all he can to calm her down. "Now don't worry... I'll be right there," Pointing at the Gryffindor's table. "... Cheering you on. All your going to do, is walk put on the hat, when they call your name, and they will sort you in a house. There a four houses; Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor, which is my house. Well, I have to go," He started to say, seeing his friend waving him over. "I hope you get into Gryffindor." And with a squeeze of his hands, he left Annie walking alone, down the isle towards the first year crowd.
Once everyone was sorted out, Professor Mcgonagall said, "There is, of course one last child. A new 5th year, Rose, Annie-Mae."
Annie carefully walked towards the hat, and put it on.
(Author's Note: * indicates thoughts)
*Well look what we got here... A Rose, eh?* The hat began. *Are you sure your a Rose?... Oh... Quiet one, you are. You have the blood of Dombledore. Maybe a Gryffindor you shall be, but wait, there's more that I can see. Something evil that is in ye.* "SLYTHERIN SHE SHALL BE!" Yelled the hat.
