Harry Potter and the American TeenagerChapter one- the news and away we go.
I listened to my young but plain headmistress, Mrs. Lafarge go on about the beginning of the year feast. It was the same every year, nothing ever changed. Then I caught something that stunned me.
"This year students we will be having some exchange students from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now it will be only for the 6th year students and Mr. Dumbledore and I planned this over the summer, so I have already picked out who will be going and the rest of you will stay." Mrs. Lafarge said in a proud voice. "If I call your name step outside the cafeteria and sit down in the chair that says your name. It will be Chelsea Allen, Kelsey Andriot, David Baxter, Alicia Breitfeilder, Will Brooks, Blake Coleman, Trudy Estes, Paige Gillum, Jack Hogue, Clayton Payne, Jonathan Reid, McKenzie Short, Brad Smith, Hayley Smith, Abby Thompson, and Dylan Zoffuto."
"Now please step through the cafeteria doors and I will give you your instructions."
Oh my lord, I had been picked, me Abby Meredith Thompson had been picked!!
My best friend had also been picked Chelsea Jessica Allen. She and I have been best friends ever since the first time we arrived to BlackCat. I had long brunette hair, with blue eyes, everyone always said her blue eyes were amazing and that anybody could just swim in her eyes forever. Her friend on the other hand was much prettier and knew how to flirt more. She had blonde hair, and brown eyes. She also could have any guy she wanted in the whole school but she picked Clayton Payne. Now don't get me wrong Claytons a nice guy, not to mention really hot, but he was boring. He had brown hair that went to his shoulders, blue eyes; everyone said they weren't like mine though.
As Chelsea and I walked outside we stood as far away as possible from Alicia Breitfeilder and McKenzie Short, they were evil and jealous of Chelsea but since I was her best friend they were jealous of me too. There is no way to please them.
Mrs. Lafarge came out after Dylan Zoffuto and I. "Now that your all out here we can begin. You all know how today is the first of August, well Hogwarts doesn't start until September 1st. So, you have a month to go home tell your parents get packed, and come back to school on the 15th. We will be taking a plain over to London and getting the school supplies for school together in a shopping center called Diagon Alley. You may go home right now. Write to your parents and tell them to pick you up at the train station. You are dismissed."
"Chelsea!! Can you believe it? We got chose to go over to London for a couple of days!"
"I know and think about all those hot English boys. To bad Claytons coming, I could sure use a break."
"Why not dump him?"
"I love him, I can't do that! Besides if I do meet a hotter guy than I will but don't you dare tell him that."
"Of course I wont, but you better be quiet because here Clayton comes."
"Hey Chels." Said a very dull Clayton."
"Hey carebear." That was Claytons nickname and he made her promise to only do it around Clayton and I if she was going to say it.
"Hey Abby. Are you all excited?"
"Absolutely. The education is going to be great. Listen, I'm going to go right my mom that I'm coming home and that I'm going somewhere as an exchange student. I'll see you later."
Dear mom (A/N: see my parents are separated so I live with my mom.)
Today at school we got exhilarating news, some 6th year students with be going to London for an exchange trip to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I got accepted to go so I will be coming home today to pack. There school starts in a month but we will leave on the 15th. See you tonight.
Love,
Abby Meredith Thompson!
On the return trip home I sat with Chelsea, Clayton, Hayley Smith, and Brad Smith. Hayley and Brad are fraternal twins. All we could talk about was Hogwarts. This was going to be one exciting year.
"Guess what I heard?" came the overjoyed Hayley.
"What!" came three unknowing voices.
"I already know. Ha-"but before Brad could finish Hayley covered her hand over Brad's mouth and cast a silencing charm.
"Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts."
"Are you serious? I heard Harry Potter is a skimpy little boy with glasses, my resources said he was cute but not hot." Chelsea thinks she knows everything.
"Well your resources are wrong. I saw him in the Daily Prophet the other day and he has muscles. The paper said he plays Quidditch and that all the drills toned his muscles. I bet that's where they come from." Came my defensive side.
"Well, whatever anyways its time to go. The train just stopped." Came Clayton's know-it-all face.
As I looked out the window I saw my short mother wearing turquoise robes, with silver flowers. She makes robes as a hobby; her real job is an auror. I want to be an auror some day. She could help me with training. I fear for her every day that nothing bad happens. She's all I have.
"Honey Bunny, you're here! I hope it wasn't a long ride. Are you sure you want to leave? I mean I'm going to miss you and you can change your mind if you want." My mother added hopefully.
"Mom, I know you'll miss me, but I do want to go."
"Well then here is a picture of you and me on the sandy beach of Hollywood, California."
The picture was taken over the summer. We went to Hollywood for a vacation. We hadn't taken one in three years. I was wearing a red bikini. It was rather revealing but fit me in all my curves. I'm not exactly flat chested, but I'm not Godzilla either. Chelsea was always jealous since she had a little cup. The bikini was showing off my thin body and trim legs although I'm not tall at all. My mom was wearing a fuchsia one piece that showed off her tall skinny legs. She and I were both blessed with skinny legs.
The ride home was boring. The only talk that went on was small talk. I guess my mom was sad that I was leaving. We'd never really been apart except for boarding school. But now I would be on a totally different continent.
As soon as I got home I ran up the spiral staircases to my room. My bedroom had a queen-sized bed that was the color of sky blue. My walls were lime green; I also had a wooden desk set up for over the summer school work, next to that was my closet, by that was my book shelves with every book I've ever owned, and right beside that was my dresser. It was white whicker. It looked babyish but I was planning to redo my room in the near future.
I walked back downstairs to the garage and seized my trunk. I raced back upstairs eager to leave and get a superior education. I turned right as I got upstairs and went to the last room on the right. Right across my bedroom was my bath. The whole upstairs was mine since my mom took the downstairs. I didn't have nearly enough stuff to fill the two other rooms so they were left empty.
I went to my dresser and pulled out undergarments, and socks. I then went to my closet and packed a lot of my robes, mainly the robes that fit me best. Then I went to my desk and got out the galleons I could. I would need to go to the Gringotts in the states to get more money for the trip. I'll probably get my mom to take me tomorrow. Anyway I grabbed all the essentials too like my black and white owl, ambrosia; my cauldron, wand, quills, and parchment.
I slipped into my solid bright yellow nightgown, and fell asleep almost immediately.
I was standing in a dark room scared out my wits; I must get out of there or something bad would happen. I was hiding under a desk that had a chair in front. I rolled it up so I was invisible. The door opened I held my breath. "Its me." It was Chelsea, but not five seconds after she had gone in had the door opened again to reveal someone with a black mask on. Chelsea then threw a fire spell. It hit the mask of the unknown man, and burnt it straight off to reveal some of what looked to be a face of a man. The figure had long blonde hair tied back into a harsh looking low ponytail. He saw Chelsea and threw the killing curse at her. Before she could get out the way, it hit her, square in the chest.
"NOOOO!" I yelled. Too late he saw me. Then someone behind him came in with messy black hair and glasses. The mystery figure shouted, "Stupefy." Then the mysterious body turned into a phoenix and flew to me and we whisked out the window with my friends body next to me. Next-.
"AHH!" I woke up perspiring all over my head, neck, and back. That was the realest dream I had ever had. The lights came on. She had to squint her eyes to see who it was.
"Honey! Are you ok? I heard you yelling in your sleep and then you yelled again. What was the dream?"
My mom and I had always had a close relationship since she only had me. So I opened up my feelings toward her. She loved me so much, I couldn't tell her to leave me alone.
"Oh mom, I had the worst dream. I was standing in a dark room, but something was wrong I was in danger. The next thing I know is Chelsea is entering the room scared as if she knew I was in there and she was in trouble. I was just about to come out when another figure came in and killed her and I yelled. They spotted me, then a figure, a boy I think, came in and saved me and he turned into a phoenix and we left. I woke up. But mom it was so real." I spoke getting ready to cry.
"Oh honey I'm sorry you had that awful dream, but it was just a nightmare. It couldn't have been real even if it felt that way."
"But mom it was, I think I just saw the future. It was so real I know what I saw. This boy seemed powerful, he had an aurora that was gold with power and courage."
"Sweetheart I think its time to go back to bed. In the morning I'll spend the whole day to make it up to you but I just cant now. I'm so tired."
"Ok mom." I knew exactly what we would do and with that I lay down but didn't go back to sleep. I stayed up the whole rest of the night.
In the morning my alarm clock went off at 9:00. I wanted to start the day early. I took a shower in my bathroom, and then I pulled over to my closet and got out my black robes. Today I was going plain. After that I blow-dried my hair and brushed it down, I also put on my make-up. I wasn't going that plain.
I went downstairs and got out some eggs, and bread. I was going to make scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast this morning. As soon as I put the eggs on the stove my mom came in and put the toast on a pan in the oven.
"What did you want to do today?"
"I want to go to Gringotts and get some galleons for the trip. I also want to get a new hairstyle. I think mine is too original."
"Ok, today is your day."
We set off for the fireplace we would be flooing to Gringotts.
I went first. "Gringotts in Dallas,
Texas." It was like being sucked down a giant
drain. I was spinning really fast- their was roaring in my ears, it
was raucous- I tried to keep my eyes open but the whirl of green
flames made me feel sick-something hard knocked my elbow and I tucked
it in tightly, still spinning and spinning- now it felt as though
cold hands were slapping my face- squinting I saw a blurred stream of
fireplaces and snatched glimpses of the rooms beyond- I closed my
eyes wishing it would stop and suddenly is did, I was on the ground
in a tall room that was all white and had little goblins behind
elevated stools behind long counters.
Next I could feel my mom fell beside me, and then all of a sudden she
started giggling. It was her way of saying she was in a good mood. If
she doesn't giggle you know she's in a bad mood. She looked over
at me and we stood up. I looked towards the goblins next; some were
giving us a horrendous look.
Then mom and I went to the nearest goblin that was open and gave him
our key. He took us to our vault and we went inside and grabbed some
galleons. As soon as we got out of there we went over to Salons in
the Park (A place to get a haircut).
I headed over to the usual spot where I usually got my haircut but as
soon as I got to the cubicle where Kinddy, my usual haircutter was,
my mom stopped me.
"Where are you going? I got you into November. The hairstylist that
barely anybody can get a hold of. She had an opening today."
"Oh thank
you so much mom! I've been wanting to try her out for a
while."
I ran
into the room next door and saw November with her European cut that
was layered short and lots of bangs. She was one of my role models.
"Hi
sweetie, you must be Abby Thompson. What did you want to do with your
hair?"
"I want to cut my hair off a little bit like three inches, and
layer it like yours, and add some texture by adding side bangs to my
left side, and that's about it."
"Ok easy enough. Your going to look like a whole new person when I
get finished with you."
An hour
later
"Well I'm finished, take a look at the new you."
"I love it!" I exclaimed.
When I looked into the mirror I saw a little below the shoulder cut
that was tapered from my nose down, and some side bangs on my left
side that ended at my eyes. I looked better than Chelsea even and she
was the flirt of the school.
As my mom paid and we flooed back home I felt like a whole new
person. In a couple of days I would be off for a new adventure at
Hogwarts.
PLEASE R&R!
This is my favorite fic.
