Year1: A New Beginning
Author's Note: Hey back again this chapter is really short but you can still review...please?! I'm dying over here.
CH.3: The First Month
The first few weeks passed quickly for Annie as she learned about her new world. Aside from meeting Peeves and most of the castle ghost's it was quite uneventful too. Not many of the teachers were there save Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and some crack pot named Trelawney; so the castle was virtually empty. The game keeper Hagrid was also there. He was fairly large but also very gentle in manner. He'd seen her brother and herself as babies, and he was the one who was going to pick up Harry.
She spent a lot of time in the library by herself researching and learning the history f magic which she discovered was quite lengthy (and yes she read Hogwarts a History.) She also had many discussions with Dumbledore about her brother and Voldemort learning the reason Harry survived the attack by the man who killed he parents was because of their mothers sacrifice for him. Harry was living with their Aunt Petunia and Uncle Dursey, who had a son called Dudley. She would go with Hagrid to pick him up, go shopping in Diagon Alley for their school supplies, and the, stay with the Dursley's for the remaining month of summer. Dumbledore had then told her that her real birthday was July 31st, and that was day upon which Hagrid and she would pick up Harry. She was slightly disappointed that she wasn't really already eleven but soon forgot to care as the excitement of celebrating her real birthday for the first time, and as a twin approached.
The days turned into weeks and eventually the end of the month rolled around. Annie repacked her things early in the morning before their departure. She dressed in her best jean mini-skirt, low cu tank top and white corduroy clogs (she still believed that England was too cold for sandals). She said good-bye temporarily to Dumbledore, McGonagall, and even Snape. The two of them had a few semi-pleasant conversations. This was surprising enough because McGonagall had told her that most people hated him, including the staff and students; except of coarse the Slytherin house. She found this very unusual because, while he was yes very much an asshole, he wasn't all that bad. Most of the time he was just a little rude and sarcastic. But, then, she supposed that she hadn't seen him at his worst. With all this out of the way she prepared for her shot journey to wherever Harry was by portkey at quarter to the mid-night of her real eleventh birthday.
Annie and Hagrid dragged all of her trunks down to the front gate where Dumbledore as waiting to see them off.
"Remember to give him this letter Hagrid when you get there." Dumbledore said handing a letter over then turning to Annie. "Oh and Annie remember to be patient with your Aunt and Uncle." He continued dragging out the portkey (a tin can). It was very dark out but the moon shone against the metal illuminating it. Both Hagrid and she held out a hand. "Alright good luck you two and one..." she felt another tug at her navel, then the sensation of traveling at the speed of light, and finally the slam as she landed on the ground. They were on either a very large rock or a very small island that was very slick with the down pour. The were drenched within ten seconds and very miserable. A short distance ahead there was a small gloomy looking shack. It wasn't very sturdy looking either.
"Is that where they're staying?" Annie yelled at Hagrid straining to be heard over the rain and waves. They slipped and skidded a few feet with her luggage.
"Yeah. I dunno why though," he said looking bewildered. "Don't seem very intelligent like ter me!" He laughed gruffly then dropped her bags in front of the door. "Well 'ere we are."
Hagrid looked at a watch on his wrist as it chimed midnight. He lifted a giant hand and pounded on the door once; she heard a muffled yelp come from inside. He knocked on it twice omitting the second large boom. She could hear nothing else through the rain and wind whistling around her. Hagrid knocked on the door for a third and final time and the door came crashing down.
"Sorry 'bout that," Hagrid said kindly and stepped in to the room. Annie looked past him inside. The shack was very dark and small. A tiny fireplace could be seen but was void of flames. Multiple shadows scurried around, three of them crowding in to a corner. The thing that held her attention though was a shocked yet very familiar pair of green eyes.
