(I am so sorry for the lame-ness of this chappy. It had to be done but I really really didn't want to do this one. Also that's why it's so short. This chapter was done weeks ago but when you don't get any reviews well, it's really very discouraging *scowls*)
Livvie gaped at the castle across the ocean. "I hope whomever built this castle did not believe in compensation."
"What?" Remus asked.
"Never mind, blame Lucas." Livvie said as Remus helped her into the horseless carriage.
"Who's Lucas?" He asked.
"My oldest brother, but not my oldest sibling."
"What?"
"I have a confusing family. We have a long trip ahead so want to hear?" She asked teasingly.
"Sure" he said. "How confusing could it be?"
"Hold on to your hat." She took a deep breath. "My mother's name is Lydia and my father's is Leo. My oldest sister Lauren is 39. She married to Matt. They have five children, Tyler, Jasmine, Anna, Robby and Libby. Next comes Lois, 37. Her husband Frisco and her have three children Samantha, Sly-"
"Sly?" Remus asked.
Livvie looked at him sideways. "With a name like Remus I wouldn't be judging. Where was I? Their youngest, Brianna. Leticia comes next. Husband's name is Jacob and she has two children named Mackenzie and Kyle. Then Lucas who married my best friend Alison. Karen, Zach, and Madison are their kids. Then Luis and his wife Chloe have two. Erin and Leslie. They're also having another. The last child in my family is my little sister Lynn."
"That's. . . a large family."
"Large and confusing. . . Trust me."
"Well," Remus said once they got off the horseless carriages. "That's Hogwarts." Remus led her inside and up stairs to a huge hall that was relatively empty except for a table at the head of the hall. "This is the Great Hall. Come on." He led her to the table.
"Hi again Mr. Dumbledore. or professor or what ever I'm suppose to call you" Livvie said cheerfully to Professor Dumbledore when she saw him.
"Albus please Miss Santos."
"Livvie please." She followed Remus and sat next to a man with kind of greasy black hair. "Hi" she said cheerfully. He just looked at her oddly. "My name's Livvie Santos. What's yours?"
"Severus Snape" he answered.
"Whoa. that's a great name." He looked at her as if she was insane. "Well it is!" She insisted defensively.
"Why would you say that?" He asked doubtfully.
"Well-" she was interrupted by the mass of students that piled into the Great Hall.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" Dumbledore bellowed once everyone had taken their seat. "Let the sorting begin."
"Anyway," Livvie whispered, "it's so mysterious and cool. Like, I don't know, something that's mysterious and cool."
He turned to her. "Your very odd, anyone ever tell you that?"
"Everyday I lived at my parents house" she answered truly.
"I wonder why" he said sarcastically.
She smirked at him and turned her attention to the sorting.
"Carp, Jamal"
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Exclaimed the Sorting Hat.
~After the Sorting~
"A few beginning of the year announcements-" Dumbledore started when Livvie groaned then quickly slammed a hand over her mouth. "Something wrong Professor Santos?" He asked, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Me? No, no, I am so, so, so sorry. Jetlag, that's it. It's really sitting in. It's just in New York, where I was staying it's six hours ago and in San Francisco it's even later."
"I see. Anyway we have two new teachers. The older students may remember Professor Lupin who is back to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts." Applause rang out in the Hall. "Also our brand new Divinations teacher. . . Professor Santos." Livvie gave a small tried wave with one hand while the other was busy propping up her head. "Mr. Filch has added new items to the banned list due to the opening of the new joke shop." Dumbledore looked pointedly at the Gryfinndor table.
~After Dinner~
"Miss Santos?" Asked Dumbledore. "May I show you to your room?"
"Sure" said Livvie. "Go ahead."
(Again, sorry for the chapter badness but do review. This story is going to be rather long.)
