Author's Note: I tried to write this before and it didn't work since school

has started for me. I've gotten the hang of the school thing, now, and have

decided to try again. I must warn you, though. I'm not the best writer, as a

matter of fact, I've never even attempted to really write a story. Please

give me a chance. If I don't update within a few days or so, e-mail me and

force me to write another chapter.

Chapter 1: Prologue-ish type thingy.

Sarah sat on her bed at the orphanage thinking about how horrible her life

was. Yet another family had canceled out of adopting her. Her mum had died

when she was giving birth to her, and now, at almost twelve (her birthday

was tomorrow), she still was living at the orphanage. The new family had

turned her down after seeing how she reacted around their cat. She told them

she was talking to it, and they thought she was crazy. The fact of the

matter was, she could talk to the cat. Well, actually, she could talk to any

animal. She had decided against telling anyone except for the families that

were supposedly going to adopt her, though even when she did tell people

they acted like she was a psycho or something. Then again, she wasn't

normal. She was actually a witch who was about to go into her second year at

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was really quite shy,

although very smart. She never raised her hand to answer a question, and

only talked when called upon. She had had a strange experience with the

Sorting Hat.

**FLASHBACK**

The Sorting Hat had just finished its song, and Sarah was called up to put

it on. ^ah, Bravery and great courage I see here, but also cunning and

willingness to learn. My, you are a hard one to place, should it be

Griffyndor, or maybe Slytherin? I just can't decide, and that is a first.^

Professor Dumbledore, seeing how the hat hadn't made a decision yet, came

over, took the hat from her, and put it on his own head. A few minutes

later, Dumbledore stood up and set the hat back down on the stool before he

announced that Sarah will be rooming with Griffyndor, but will go to classes

with Slytherin. A few people gasped at this, weren't Slytherin and

Griffyndor the biggest rivalries? That was how it came to be that after her

first year, she didn't have any friends. All the Slytherins didn't like her

because she was in Griffyndor, and all the Griffyndors didn't like her

because she was in Slytherin, and all of the other houses weren't her

friends because they didn't want to get caught up in the whole mess. Because

of that, everyone just seemed to ignore her. What a grand first year.

**END FLASHBACK**

All of the sudden she heard a tapping noise coming from her window. Sarah

went over to the window to see what it was. She jumped back in surprise when

she saw that it was a huge Tawny owl. Her surprise quickly turned to joy

after that, though when she realized it was her letter to go back to

Hogwarts. *I guess you would like in, then? * She said to the owl. *Yes,

please. * *Ok, come on in then. * She said as she opened her window. (Author

's Note: Sorry, forgot to say that the asterisk-* is when she is talking to

an animal. Their conversations usually go back and forth, depending on where

the asterisks end.) She let the owl in and gave it some water from her

Apollo's, her Bateleur Eagle, (She got this instead of an owl because no- one

else wanted him because he was supposed to be really mean, and had had a

broken wing) dish. Apollo didn't really appreciate it, but he put up with it

because Sarah had been the only person willing to give him a good home and

heal him of his injury, they were practically inseparable. Animals were just

about Sarah's only friends because no-one at the orphanage really liked her

because she got to go to a boarding school (they didn't know what it really

was) and they didn't. So, the animals were really her only friends. The

animals allowed to stay in her room were a gray mouse named Mitchell,

Apollo, and a small, black snake named Midnight.

(Author's Note: Well, that's the first chapter, review if you want me to

continue! By the way, Thanks to HarryzBabe for finally making me write

this.)
