Chapter two—Holy crap
Shani Hotchkiss awoke to sunlight streaming down on her, the day's earlier events coming back to her. She sat up slowly, astonished that they were really in Hogwarts. 'Not in a million years!' She thought to herself.
Seeing her two best friends talking animatedly on a similar bed, a few rows away from her, she decided that she would join the conversation.
Instead of getting up like she planned, she struggled for a moment, her legs still tangled in the infirmary's sheets, and succeeded n falling on her face. As her head collided with the stone floor, she flipped herself over onto her back and began struggling to remove herself from the cursed sheets. It wasn't long before a dark haired stranger bent over to help her. Giving her a hand to help her up, Shani couldn't help but notice how great his smile was.
"Are you quite all right?" The man said quietly, staring into her eyes. "O yea, that was nothing, i'm the biggest klutz. Thanks by the way, um, I don't have your name!" Shani said trying to stop the unavoidable blush from creeping up to her cheeks.
"Chris, Chris Hartwell." He said extending a hand to her, never losing the enchanting smile on his face. "I'm Shani Hotchkiss. Pleasure to meet you Chris." She said in a composed tone.
"Well, I am extremely sorry to cut this meeting short, but I have classes to attend to. Goodbye Shani." He said as he brought her hand up to his lips in a polite gesture.
'My god these English men! Woo!' Shani thought in exasperation.
She eyed him carefully, thinking out her next move. She lurched herself forward and tripped. This time her landing area was the rear end of a certain Chris Hartwell. She stammered her quick apologies to the flustered man, and quickly made her way to where her friends now sat dumbfounded.
"Shani!" LouAnne exclaimed. "We have been here- well you have been awake for the last ten minutes, and you're already making moves on guys?" She said in false anger, before a sad smile spread on her face.
"You know now that you have to teach me that fake tripping thing!" Sarah said with a laugh.
Lou Anne opened her mouth to say something, but could only let her jaw drop as she stared contently behind Shani's head.
Her two friends looked at her in confusion, but all LouAnne could do was point behind them as a gesture for them to turn around.
Shani turned around only to be met with periwinkle robes. Her eyes slowly made her way up to the face of the person in the robes, only to be stared at by twinkling blue eyes.
"Dumbledore!" The three girls said in unison. The man nodded softly. "And you are?" He asked in a polite tone.
After a brief introductioin, Dumbledore moved in for the more serious conversation.
"You are aware that you are in Hogwarts, am I correct?" He mused, watching the three girls nod in awe.
"Well, may I ask as to how you wound up in our Charms corridor?" He asked slowly.
Lou Anne looked to her friends for support only to be met by shoulder shrugging. She rolled her eyes and decided to take action. "No sir. Well not exactly sir. Well you see sir, we are from America, and I didn't think we had any magic or power or anything sir. But we loved the stories about your school. And we all dreamed of coming here. So we did a spell of sorts sir, and we didn't think it would work, but then we woke up here." She said breathing deeply, looking at the mans face, waiting for a response.
He nodded, obviously going over this in his head. "I believe I am correct in assuming that you have no way of returning home?" He asked indirectly.
The girls nodded, trying to figure out his point as he continued speaking. "Well, it seems as though you have underestimated your selves. It appears as if you do have some sort of magical blood in your bodies."
The girls nodded again, not yet grasping his point.
"I am going to suggest that you remain here as students. You should be in your fifth year, but if you struggle you can catch up with people your own age." He paused for a moment. "that is if you want to stay." Dumbledore said smiling at the young girls in front of them.
They all nodded, bright smiles on their faces. I will do my best to contact your parents. You may wander the grounds if you like, meet me back here in a few hours. Things should be sorted out by then." He said before turning to leave. "I also suggest that you change your clothes, there is a closet in the corner that will produce the clothing and anything else you will need for the day." He said closing the door behind him.
The girls stood still for a moment before rushing over to the closet.
All three girls had fit, curvaceous bodies, and could look good in anything and everything, so it wasn't hard for them to find something they liked.
As they left the room, Sarah wore tight low-rider jeans, and a button up black shirt, that showed off just enough skin, while her short red hair was straightened and hung to about her shoulders. The makeup perfectly accenting what she wore.
Shani was dawned in a denim skirt that went down to her news with a slit up to mid thigh, with a pink camisole. She flipped her hair around and put on some lip gloss and she was ready for the exploration.
LouAnne wore a red and black plaid mini-skirt with a black tank top that said "Caliente" in bold red letters. She twisted her hair on the top of her hair, lined her eyes with dark liner, and was headed out to find a certain platinum blonde she had an obsession of.
They walked through the halls as if they owned the place, not caring that they weren't technically part of the school. Yet.
They strolled around a few corridors, finally coming to a stop in front of what must have been the great hall. It was around lunch time. They took a deep breath and a quick glance at each other and pushed open the large oak doors.
They stood there side by side, instantly gaining all attention. The stalked up between the four tables and headed directly for Dumbledore. LouAnne wore her trademark scowl, Shani had the "I could care less look" and Sarah dawned a playful smile as they stepped in front of the headmaster.
"Where do we sit?" Sarah asked quietly to the old man. Dumbledore stood to his feet and cleared his throat, casting silence over the large hall.
"Attention is appreiciated. We have new soon- to- be students in our midst. This" he said motioning at Sarah, "is sarah Arrigo." Sarah Smiled and waved unconsciously. "This" he said motioning at Shani "Is Dehshandria Hotchkiss." He said pausing for a moment. "The name is SHANI!" Shani clarified. "And last but not least, this" he said motioning towards Lou Anne "Is LouAnne Randolph." LouAnne looked around the room, nodding in acknowledgement.
"Our new students to be have not yet been sorted, so they will sit at the house of their choosing. That is all." He said sitting down.
The three girls looked at the four tables lining the hall. They made a quick circle and decided to sit at the Slytherin table, for LouAnne's sake.
They stalked down and plopped down at a random seat at the table. They began a conversation about houses and people, hoping not to cause trouble, but LouAnne and Shani were ready if someone else was.
After a few minutes they stood to leave, stalking yet again out of the hall. They found their way out side and were lounging around by the lake when two groups of people surrounded them.
"Shove off, Malfoy!" A boy with untidy black hair stated.
"Like you could make me, Potter." Draco Malfoy stated coolly.
"If you fine people wouldn't mind telling me, I would like to know what you want." LouAnne said rising from her position on the ground, Shani and Sarah soon following her.
"Me and my friends, Ron and Hermione, came to meet you and give you a little company." Harry said calmly motioning at his friends.
"Well we came to save you from the mudblood, weasel and pothead." Draco snorted.
"Well we don't need saving, or company. But we wouldn't mind a tour." Shani said smoothly.
"Well who is going with who?" Sarah asked impatiently.
Shani looked annoyed. "Let's split up, one person go with the Gryffindors, two go with the Slytherins, or vice versa." She stated.
LouAnne moved next to Draco, shani soon following while Sarah happily moved next to Harry. "Sarah, meet us here in an hour!" LouAnne said as they stalked off, the scowl on her face only being matched by that of Draco's.
The three friends separated for the first time on this journey, and it would not be the last.
