New Story This one has absolutely nothing to do with Elvin. It is a separate story. I'm bored and feel like starting a new story

..................... . . . . . . . .

As she appeared in a dark corner on Platform 9 ¾ in Kings Cross, a subtle breeze blew into her hood. The black cloak covered her lithe body entirely, and the large hood hid her face from passersby. Reluctantly she stepped from the shadow she so desperately wanted to stay in. She mentally cursed her cousin for sheltering her. It was not that she did not want to go, she was just slightly apprehensive about how the students would react to her. She was older than most of the students (Well all of them really) that would start this year. They started at 11, and she was 16. Considering her situation, she would start in her sixth-year and take classes with students who had been in the school for five years already. The tall girl sighed. She pulled her mahogany trunk behind her and made her way to the train. She put the trunk in the luggage compartment and followed the train back to the last compartment, which was thankfully empty. She left her hood on and looked to the animal that had followed her in. It was a large male wolf the color of a moonless night. He jumped swiftly onto one of the seats and stretched out. She had just sat down opposite her animal companion when the train started.

She heard footsteps and silently hoped that they would not approach her compartment. Sure enough, the compartment door opened. A girl of about the same age as herself poked her head in. She had flaming red hair and sparkling emerald eyes.

"Oh, sorry! Do you mind if I sit here? I can't find anywhere that's quiet, and I'm getting a headache." The girl asked politely.

She shook her head, her hood swaying back and forth in an obvious 'no'.

"Oh good." The girl walked in, closing the door behind her. She went to sit down on the seat opposite her silent companion when she saw that something was on it. "Can I move your . . . . coat?"

"My coat?" the cloaked figure spoke for the first time since she arrived in King's Cross. Her voice was pleasant, slightly accented with a dialect the red-head had never heard before. "Does Bade need a bath so much?"

"Bade?" The wolf raised its head. "BADE!? There's a WOLF on the train!"

The hooded girl chuckled. "He will not harm you." She moved over on the seat so that the other girl could sit down.

After she had done so, she held out a hand and said, "I'm Lily Evans. It's nice to meet you." Lily wasn't altogether sure if the strange girl would take her hand or not.

She did, saying, "Please call me Fynn."

"If you don't mind me asking, how old are you Fynn? You seem too old to be a new first-year, and I don't remember you."

"I am going to be seventeen this winter. I will be starting Sixth year."

"Really!? That's great! I'm going to be in Sixth year too! I hope you're in Gryffindor, though I don't know how it works when you start after fifth year. Most of the girls are too busy fawning over-"She stopped and they both looked at the compartment door as it opened.

"LILY! There you are! We've been looking all over for you!" A semi-tall boy with black hair that looked like it had been mussed up on purpose (And indeed it had) exclaimed.

"Potter." Lily said blankly.

"Yes, he's had us looking all over the train for you Evans." A tall boy with longish hair that casually fell in front of his blue eyes said from behind the first boy.

The two walked into the compartment followed by a third boy who was the least remarkable of the three. He had sandy blond hair and troubled yet kind eyes. Bade lifted a head at this last boy. The large wolf sat up and made room for this last boy on the other seat. The boy seem nervous, but sat down anyway. The first boy sat in-between Lily and Fynn, pushing the taller girl into the wall.

"Now, now Prongs! Look what you've done to this poor damsel! You've even scared her with that horrible face of yours! She has to wear a cloak to protect her vision." The second boy said. He was the most handsome of the three, with a charming smile and devious eyes. To Fynn he said, "There's no need to hide your face when Sirius Black is here to protect you."

Lily sighed and muttered, "There goes my quiet." Louder, she said, "Fynn, this is James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. Potter, Black, Remus, this is Fynn."

The boys greeted Fynn, who stayed silent.

"Oy, Sirius, I think you've killed her." James said laughing.

"I'm quite fine." Fynn stood up. Fynn stood up fully to just under six feet. Sirius, who was still standing let his mouth drop. The tall girl moved over next to Remus so that she was not against the wall. Sirius finally shrugged and sat down on the other side of Lily.

When they got to the school, Fynn was instructed to follow one of the teachers. She bade farewell to Lily and the three boys and did as she was told. The teacher led her to a pair of doors and she walked through into the Great Hall. The ceiling was enchanted to reflect the sky outside and candles floated above five tables, one raised slightly above the others. The students were all seated at the four lower labels now, the first-year sorting was done. She could hear their whispers as she passed. She suddenly felt exposed, but the teacher behind her led her up to the front of the hall before the higher staff table.

An old wizard with a long white beard and tall, pointed hat stood up and looked at her over his spectacles. His eye twinkled as he announced. "This year, we have a new 6th-year student. Her name is, Tynan I believe?"

Fynn nodded, "Tynan Fynnea Faye Vrein Delaime ud Vaelth."

"She will be sorted by the hat."

The professor that had led her up to the table brought over a ratty-looking hat. Fynn cursed. She would have to let her hood down. She brought up lithe hands to pull the black hood down. When she did so, long raven hair came cascading down. Her face was slightly tan, as if from prolonged exposure to the sun. Her nose was slightly angular, as were the rest of her features. Dark eyebrows framed her pale green eyes. Overall, she was graced with a natural beauty that was anything but soft. The sorting hat was placed on her head.

'Well, I've never encountered the likes of you before. There's only one place where you can go, GRYFFINDOR!'

Fynn walked to the Gryffindor table, where Lily was beckoning wildly. She was followed by the previously overlooked Bade. Most of the students were openly pointing by this time. As she sat down, Dumbledore began to speak. Fynn did not listen. Her attention was being taken by Sirius, who was staring at her. The tall girl shifted uncomfortably. She was unable to look anywhere but him until James elbows Sirius in the ribs, causing him to look away with a red face.

"Fynn? FYNN???" Lily was trying to get her attention.

"Hai? I mean yes?"

Lily shook her head, "I wonder if all that hair is causing sound to have a hard time reaching your ears." She moved a hand to lift up the hair that was covering Fynn's ear. Fynn quickly grabbed her wrist.

"There is nothing wrong with my hearing. I was not listening."

"Oh-kay . . ." Lily seemed a little confused. She let her hand drop. "I was just saying that I'm glad you're in Gryffindor." She stole a glance to Sirius and James, who were in the middle of the table. "And it looks as if Sirius is too."

Fynn raised an eyebrow at Lily. "Somehow I missed the humor in that."

Lily giggled. "I'm so glad I have some more intelligent conversation now. Almost all the Gryffindor girls fawn over Sirius and James half the time. I swear those two have dated every girl in Hogwarts by now."

"Except you." Fynn observed. "You seem slightly bitter about that."

Lily's cheeks turned red, "I am NOT. Besides, they haven't dated you, or Allison. She's the blond over there sitting next to Remus. And that is Peter Pettigrew." She pointed to a chubby boy with lifeless blond hair. Fynn's eyes narrowed as she looked at him.

All through the feast, Fynn caught Sirius's eyes on her. She would look over at him, and blue would meet green. He subconsciously smiled at her as the left the Great Hall, and waited behind to talk with her.

He flashed a charming smile at her and said, "You look different without the hood."

She blinked at him. 'STUPID Sirius! That was SO lame, Of COURSE she looks different without the hood. Why does she make me nervous?'

"I mean- . . . . .well." He couldn't seem to find anything to say.

She began to laugh. She ACTUALLY laughed at HIM. A girl was laughing at SIRIUS BLACK.

"Are you always this eloquent?" She asked him.

He grinned back, "Oh yes, I'm in the habit of making a fool out of myself when I meet a person."

"I can tell."

"So where are you from?"

She thought for a moment. Trying to find something he would understand. "Wales."

"What's his name?" Sirius was referring to Bane, who was walking silently next to Fynn.

"Bade."

"And you're sure he won't bite me?"

"Positive."

"Good."

By this time they had reached the common room, and Fynn went upstairs to the 6th-year girl's dorms with Lily. She found that her trunk was already there, as were a few other chests that had been sent by her cousin. She bade Lily goodnight, got into her bed and closed the curtains. Once she was certain everyone was in bed, she got out silently and went to the window. She scratched behind Bade's ears as she sighed. She pushed her hair behind her ear, revealing the pointy ear of an elf. As she watched the night sky, a shooting star lit across the night sky.
