the plot.
Ashleigh Cox wasnt your normal witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardy. She was part sorcerss too. And Sorceress had their own kind. They were powerful and veryt rare. Her mom was an American Sorcess and her father was a Welsh Wizard who attended Hogwarts himself. He was a famous alchemist, who helped create the Philosophers stone. He also worked with Dumbledore, his great great Uncle, on the 12 uses of dragons blood. He had always wanted his one and only daughter to go to Hogwarts. He spent most of his life taking care of her. Her mom had left them when Ashleigh was small. She found someone else and then they moved to England.
She didnt have the accent like most of her class mates and being a sorceress she had to limit her powers in class. Her Uncle knew about this and was more than happy to let her have private lessons with one of the local Sorceress' about their history and such. SHe learned some pretty complicated spells but she was always being verbally abused or sometimes physically. "You nit with you dont do it that way..." It was always constant, pretty soon she learned to block it out.
Other than that she was your normal teenage girl, she had crushes and wanted to make the right kind of friends. She cared about her appearance and tried to blend in or be invisible. She had a crush on a certian Marauder, he was tall and very built with Jet black hair and gorgeous blue eyes. He was Sirius Black. Ashleigh liked him since she met him. She knew he was a very powerful and intelligent wizard. Those were just a few qualities that she liked. But sometimes she dispised him because of his attitude and his pranks. She usually got caught up in the middle of them on accident. He didnt intentionally look for her cause she was invisible to him. Although as much as she wanted to be beautiful to him she wasnt. She was scared she hated the fact that she was because it just gave her sorceress tutor something more to critisize her about.
She wished that she was invisible to another guy. A guy in Slytherin, he had a crooked, hooked nose and greasy black hair. His name was Severus Snape. And he would not take the hint that she didnt like him. He was mean to some of her only friends and always tried to get Sirius expelled.
She walked into the Great Hall after yet another midnight session with her Sorceress tutor, Isabella. Her back ached and her head was drozy because she had to stay an extra two hours for not completing her task right the first time. She missed out on a lot of sleep and couldnt keep her eyes open enough. She sat near the end of the table toward Dumbledore. He loved his Great great great neice but it was unbeknownst to every one that they were related. He wouldnt dare tell anyone. Besides she would hate it if people knew that she had a special tie with the headmaster. She grabbed a peice of toast and wished at that moment that she was back in America with her father doing something Muggle-like. Her father raised her on Muggle inventions she knew all about them and used them often. SHe went to a muggle school until she was 11 and then they moved here. Sirius, James, Peter, and Remus sat near her. They must be planning another prank. Ashleigh thought. They never ususally sat near her unless that was the reason. She just continued to munch on her toast absentmindedly not taking in anything anyone was saying. She seemed to be in a daze. She was dreaming about her and Sirius with kids in a house, They would both be Aurors and have two kids, twins of course.
She inhaled deeply and left the table. At that moment Sirius glanced at her and gave one of his killer smiles. She lost all control over her knees and felt herself falling. Luckily though someone grabbed ehr from behind before she fell to the ground. She smiled because she was so embarrassed. She closed her eys and got back to her feet to see that Snape had caught her. She sighed and decided that she was deal with him. "Are you ok?" He asked her. She nodded and muttered a thanks before leaving quickly.
"Oy! Snape you going out with her?" Sirius asked. Snape turned a crimson color and decided to nod. Sirius looked taken aback. Snape smiled and left their table. "Is she really going out with him?" Sirius asked before cramming more food into his mouth. "I dont know, what does it matter?" Remus asked reading a book. Peter was trying to eat and read at the same time but couldnt accomplish such a huge complicated task. Sirius looked to James. James shrugged. "just wondering." He said sighing. He had liked her from the time he saw her but there was something about her that made him afraid. She was so shy and pretended to be invisible most of the time. He remembered when they first met, it was at Ollivanders.
they were getting a wand and she was ahead of him. Her dad was beaming proud and she seemed bored and sad. He didnt know why but waited until it was his turn to get his wand. He was alone since his parents were off appeasing his little brother. He never liked his family they were too darka nd close minded. He watched this girl with facination as she did hand movements with her wand and each one was not for her. "Why dotn you try this." Mr. Ollivander said. She tried that one too but it still didnt work. Her dad looked at her face. "Sweetheart, please be at least a little happy, this is the chance for you to claim your heritage." He said. "I know. I just, i dont wanna go. I'm scared. I want to go back to America." She said. Her dad sounded like he was Welsh and she was obviously American by her accent. "This is where we live now. He will have a great time, Your Uncle is estatic that you are going." He siad. "Which brings me to another point, not only will i be away from you but i dont even know him." SHe said. She was trying another wand but it didnt work either. " You will get to know him, and have tons of new friends too. Please, go for me. YOu can come and visit on the holidays." The man said. Ashleigh finally nodded and turned to see Sirius standing there. He was rooted and couldnt help but stare into her eyes. They were green with specks of light brown, he was so close to her that he saw this. Her hair was blonde with natural brown highlights and she was realatively tall compared to him. He felt his stomach disappear as he stared into her eyes. He finally managed to turn away before she turned back to Mr. Ollivander. She tried one last wand and it was perfect. "Ahhhh, i see that you have sorceress blood within you. You will move on to do great things." He said while her dad was paying for the wand. Sirius was next as he stepped up and they left the shop.
He came back to reality as his friends nudged him to follow them out of the great hall. They headed toward their first class, Charms with Professor Flitwick. For thier assignment they had to practice Disappearing and appearing charms, and he paired them up himself. He want to make sure that they actually did thier work this time. He paired Remus and Peter together, james and Lily together and Ashleigh and Sirius together.
Ashleigh felt her knees go weak again but decided that she better get her work done, she was already embarrassed by earlier and tired on top of that.
"Hi." He said coming up to her towards the corner of the room. "Hey." She said. "So how are you doing?" He asked. Her heart beat as his gorgeous face with his perfect voice said that. SHe loved his accent and the way he said things. "I'm ok and you?" She asked reading up on the charm again. "Pretty good. By the way i am Sirius." He said. "I know." She smiled at him, didnt he know? every knew about him.
"Really?" He said smiling back. "Everyone knows you, and your pranks." She said. "Well, i dont like to brag but..." He said. "Then dont... lets get started." She said cutting him off. He felt a surge of anger and humiliation flow threw him. How dare she! he thought. The tried to do it and he got it sucessfully but she was still working on it. "No...no...no." He said coming up behind her. He put his arms over her arms and tried to get her to relax. "The spell wont work if you arent relaxed... Just relax." He said trying again. She finally started to relax in his arms. She loved the way he smelled and the way he held her. "Ok... now its Swish... and flick." He said going over the movement with her. She finally succeded in doing it. "Thanks." SHe said when he returned to his postion opposite her. He had on a nice smile and she was savoring the moments they just had.
Snape was across the room paired up with Narcissa Black, she was worse than he thought. She was doing it all wrong and he coudlnt help her anyway. He kept glancing toward Ashleigh and Sirius. Sirius had his arms on her and they seemed to be getting close. Anger surged through his veins and all he wanted to do was kill Sirius for putting his filthy hands on her. "Your cousin better back off." Snape said absent mindedly. He didnt mean to say it out loud. "You like that little mudblood over there?" Narcissa said still concentrating on her wand handling. "She is not a mudblood." He said. Except he knew better her mom was part muggle and Ashleigh had muggle stuff with her when she came here. Like her CD player. She somehow bewitched it to work without power, just magic and he liked that idea. He knew everything about her. They used to be friends but when he asked her out she turned her attention elsewhere. "Her mom is a mudblood." Narcissa said. "Her mom is part sorceress." He said back. "So. Do you really think that anyone would smile upon the two of you?" She said. Snape thought about it and sighed a sad sigh before decided to help Narcissa.
Ashleigh and Sirius had finiahed first so they had free time on their hands to talk. "So i hear you and Snape are goign out." Sirius said casually trying not to let her see that it bugged him. She laughed. "Me and Snape? No, we were friends in the 2nd year and he wanted more and i didnt." Ashleigh said playing with her wand. Sirius gaped at her. "So you guys arent going out?" He said confirming what he heard. She shook her head. "Nope, never." SHe said still twilling it around. "Wait why were you even friends with him?" Sirius asked curiously. She inhaled deeply. "I felt sorry for the guy, he wasnt very popular and you guys kept hexing him all the time. I thought if he had a friend he would be nicer. He was until he found out that i was part muggle." Ashleigh said. "So you just decided to go and hang with him? Because we were hexing him?" Sirius said. Ashleigh couldnt beleive her own ears this guys was so dense.
"That was not the only reason, God the whole world does not revolve around you Sirius Black." SHe said. She knew she was treading on thin ice by insulting him and she knew that there wasnt a chance is she continued to be mean to him. "I'm sorry." He muttered. This caught her by surprise. "Your right, it doesnt revolve around me." He said looking down as if he was ashamed. She felt sorry thats she snapped at him with that comment. "No, i am sorry i'm jsut a little tired." She said yawning. That wasnt the excuse, it was her time of the month and she isnt getting any sleep lately. She felt horrible. But she wasnt going to tell him that. "So if your not with Snape then why would he say that you guys were a couple?" Sirius said looking up once more. Ashleigh's head whipped around to look at him. "What?!?!" She almost yelled. She couldnt beleive snape, how many times had she turned him down? How many times would she have to turn him down in order for him to get the picture? She thought. She shot snape a mad look and he knew immediately that she found out what he did earlier. Sirius looked from her face to Snape and knew that it wasnt true. The Snape had said that on purpose because he liked Ashleigh. So in order to get Snape mad Sirius grabbed Ashleigh's arma dn whirled her around to face him and then he kissed ehr right there in front of Snape and everyone. He didnt know why he was doing this but he just did. Ashleigh finally pulled away, tears in her eyes as she slapped him and ran out of the classroom.
