Chapter Six: Entering Hogwarts
When we finally landed I feel so sleepy I don't know if I can make it into the Leaky Cauldron to go to sleep in one of there rooms. Hagrid helped me off the motorcycle and then turns to Harry and picks him and his trunk up. I drag my trunk as we enter the bar. (My trunk is a plain muggle one that I bought for storage for when I go back to the Muggles. While I'm in Diagon Alley I'll get a wizard one and hide all my wizard stuff in there so that the muggles wont find it.) Tom comes to us with a knowing smile and shows us to our rooms.
"Hagrid... If you don't I would like to share a room with Harry. I'm so used to it now and he might wake up and freak out because I'm not there." I say as we make our way up the steps.
"'lright Ms. Snow." Hagrid says as he puts Harry down.
"Please call me Myeisha. You don't have to sound so formal when its just us." I say as I sat down on my bed and soon after that Hagrid leaves to go to his own room
Harry starts to mutter in his sleep and soon I realize that he is having another nightmare. I walk over to his bed and start rubbing his back gently while singing softly. After a minute he calms down and he goes into a deeper sleep. I move away from him but he grabs my arm and pulls me close to him. He starts to whimper quietly and I knew then that I would not be leaving his side anytime soon. I get down on my knees and put my head on the bed and watched him sleep. He pulls my arm closer still. I don't know when but I feel asleep in that awful position.
The next morning I woke up to bright green eyes staring into mine. I realize that he has finally released my arm. I blush slightly as I try to move away and then I realize (I'm very slow this morning.) That my muscles cramped and that I can barely move any part of my body without it hurting.
"Oh man! This is soo not fair!" I grumble as I start to stretch.
"I'm sorry Myeisha. I just had this very bad dream and your arm felt really comforting." I just nod my head at him as get the rest of the cramps out.
"Lets go see what's for breakfast." I say as we head towards the door with Harry at my heel.
"Good morning sir. We would like some breakfast please." I say to Tom. (Because I had read the Harry Potter books in my world so I know who he is.)
"Good morning Miss. My name is Tom. What would you like?" He asks us as we sat down at a table.
"Eggs, sausage and pancakes please. Oh and some orange juice sounds good too." I say for the both of us.
"Very well then. It should be ready in a moment." Tom says as he turns away.
"Harry there is something I have been meaning to ask you... Harry do you think of me as your friend?" I ask quietly as we want for our food.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" He looks at me confusedly.
"Do you trust me and my judgement?" I ask just as Tom came back with our orders.
"Thank you Tom."
"Why are you asking me these questions?" Harry replies after he takes a bite of his sausage.
"I need to know." Was my only reply.
"Then yes I do trust you and your judgement. Now what's this all about?" He looks at me.
"When we go back to our room after we go to Diagon Alley I'll tell you okay Harry?" I continue to eat my food.
"Okay then."
After we finished eating we went back up stairs. I took out two bandanas and handed the black one to Harry and kept the dark purple for myself. I covered my forehead with the bandana before I went digging in my trunk again.
"I never got the chance to give your present Harry, Happy Birthday!" I handed him several bags of clothes and a smaller bag with an unknown present in it.
"You didn't have to get me anything!"He exclaims but takes them anyway.
"I know I didn't. You're my best friend and anyway's you really needed new clothes!" I say as I saw him go through them.
He disappeared into the bathroom to change. When he finally came out he wore a black long sleeved T-shirt with no writing on it and it fit him perfectly as did everything I chose for him. (I know his style you see and I guessed on his sizes and it looks like I did a good job.) He also wore straight blue jeans and black trainers. I smile at him as he looks in the mirror as he puts the bandana over his forehead to hide his lightning shaped scar.
He then opens the other present and gasps. In the bag in one of those jewelry cases sat a beautiful ring. The stone is a ruby and the ring is made out of gold. On the inside of the ring reads the following, "best friends forever." Followed by our initials HP and MS. It's a basic ring but it also has magic in it. Using wandless magic I cast spells and charms on it like a protecting spell and an unbreakable charm and whatever else I can think of. He put it on his middle finger on his left hand.
I went into the bathroom next and took a short shower. I then dressed myself in black high-heeled boots that stop just bellow my knee. I also have on a black skort with a flower design on the bottom and the design is of a small metallic purple rose that shimmer on its own. I also have on a dark purple shirt on with a metallic light purple rose in the middle just like the skort. To finish it off I also have a black jean jacket on to cover all my scars that I have on my arms.
Today I am going to leave my hair down instead of braiding it or putting it up in a ponytail. I look at myself once more in the mirror before I am satisfied with my appearance. If anything Harry and I could be twins. You see we both have a lightning bolt scar on our foreheads that make us legendary. How I got mine? I was with Harry when Voldemort attacked and my mother gave her life for me in the same fashion as Harry's did for him. Voldemort sent off two killing curses at the same time.
"You look great Harry! Now lets go!" I exclaim excitedly.
"Good morning Hagrid!" Harry and I say at the same time as we meet him down at the bar.
"Good morning Ms. Myeisha. Good Morning 'arry." He said as he led us to the secret entrance to Diagon Alley.
"This place is amazing Hagrid! Who knew that you could hide a place as grand as this?" I say as the entrance opens for us.
(A/N I'm to lazy to describe how the entrance opens. If you have read the book then you know how it does!)
"Welcome to 'iagon 'lley." Hagrid says warmly.
"Where are we going first Hagrid?" Harry asks politely.
"'et's go to Gringotts first." Hagrid led the way.
We passed Ollivander's Wand Shop, Eeylops Owl Emporium, The Cauldron Shop, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Flourish and Blotts and Apothecary before we finally reached Gringotts. The huge building sat at the far end of Diagon Alley. After entering I felt my jaw drop open. There sitting behind tall desks sat Goblins. I can feel my heart racing in excitement.
"This is soo cool!"I exclaim as we walk to the nearest free teller.
"Ay it is." Agrees Hagrid.
"What can I do for you?" Says the Goblin as he looks at me, realizing who I am.
"We 'ave come to withdraw 'ome 'oney." Hagrid tells him.
"Do you have your keys?" He asks politely while continuing to stare at me.
"Ay I do. Now where did I 'ut it? 'here they are!" Hagrid says.
"I also have 'Ogwarts business. I am to 'ring you know what to you know where by you know 'ho. It's 'll in this here letter." Hagrid continues as the Goblin nods his head in understanding.
"My name is Griphook. Follow me please." The Goblin says as we follow him to the tunnels.
After getting in the cart I knew what was going to happen so I braced myself. Harry and I sat on one side and Hagrid and Griphook sat on the other. So we were sped down the tunnels. I found myself laughing the whole time. It was a lot more fun then what the books had said. After we came to Harry's vault he quickly got out of the cart. They exchanged some words when Harry saw how rich he is.
"Didn't t'ink your parents would leave you nothin? Did ya?" Hagrid asked as they got back into the cart.
(A/N I can't remember the vault number for Harry and I don't feel like looking it up. I don't think its very important right now anyway's.)
"Vault number one! Lantern please! Thank you." Griphook said as I got out of the cart and looked around.
"My family has the first vault? They must be the oldest family ever!" I look at the ancient door before me.
"You are correct Ms. Snow. Both of your parents came from very old lines. Now key please!" I hand him my key.
"Please prick your finger and put a drop of blood in the middle of the circle." Griphook says after nothing happens.
"Alright." Was all I said.
After pricking my finger and putting some blood on the only circle on the door. The door is a massive piece of art. On the top says 'Only the line of Snow and Fire may enter here.' In the middle of the door there is a phoenix made out of gold with silver eyes and an onyx beak. (A/N Is it a beak?) The phoenix has its wings open and has this glow to it that seems to be magic. In the talons of the phoenix is the circle. All around the circle as different animals. If I remember correctly they are the same as the Hogwarts symbols for the different houses. They are each in the different colors of Hogwarts too. Like the lion is in red and gold, and the snake is in green and silver and so on and so forth.
I gaze at the door for a long time before I realize it is beginning to open on its own. Once open you can see a huge chamber. 'This must be the family vault. It has pictures and stuff in it.' I think to myself as I enter. I look at the different paintings and artifacts that are there. I find a few interesting books and slip them into my backpack. I then go over to the mountain of money and take plenty of it. I knew I would be buying a lot of stuff today.
"Griphook how much money do I have in this vault?" I ask politely as only he enters.
"Over one billion galleon's." He says with a smile.
From my knowledge about Goblins I know that they don't go around smiling at people. My family must have done something for the Goblins to gain there trust. I look around the vault again before I exit with him at my heels.
"And my vault has how many galleons in it?" I ask.
"A million. And now your wondering why I let you into your family vault. Your parents said in there will that you are to have immediate access to it. Also if your Godfather dies or is imprisoned wrongly you are to be emancipated at the age of fourteen. This means you will be a full adult unless your guardian is returned to you before you are emancipated. You can even learn and take the test to apparate at the age of fifteen." Griphook said cheerfully.
"Awesome! That is so cool! I won't tell anyone though. I think they might get jealous or something. I do think I will tell Harry though." I say as we join Harry and Hagrid in the cart.
He just nods at me and then we take off again. This time we go to a vault that doesn't have a number. Hagrid got out and did his business getting whatever for Dumbledore. After we left Gringotts we began our shopping. The first shop we go to is one that sells trunks. I buy one that has eight different compartments and one of them being an apartment. The other compartments have different rooms.
The first compartment is just a regular trunk where you can put possessions and know they will be safe.
The second is a wardrobe.
The third one is a training room for both magical and muggle type training.
The fourth compartment is an open space that has a small forest, a river, and a large meadow.
The fifth compartment is a potions lab which already has a few potions and that sort of thing.
The sixth compartment is the kitchen and the livingroom which is joined together.
The seventh is a large library with tons of books in it already. (It has books in it already because this used to be owned by the Snow family until my parents died and it was bought by the trunk maker and is now resold to the Snow family heir.)
The final compartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All of the compartments are joined together through portals.
Like in order to get to the library from one of the bedrooms all you have to do is walk through the portal that's there and think of the place you want to go. The last compartment has a hallway which is where the portal is. You can get to the bedrooms using the doors and each bedroom has a bathroom of its own. Also the trunk is weightless and can shrink by telling it to. It is black with silver linings and it has the family crest on its lid. Also no one can enter without the owners permission.
Then after the trunks shop we went to the Cauldron Shop and each got a pewter cauldron which we put into my new trunk. Then we made our way to Flourish and Blotts where we got our school books and then some. After stowing that away we went to the Apothecary and then we stopped for some ice cream and some lunch.
After that we went Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions where we bought our school clothes at. Again I bought some extra stuff including muggle clothing. We met a very interesting boy there. He said that he is going to be going to Hogwarts too. I know already who he is and decided it might be smart to be friends with him. I maybe able to turn him to the light side. Anyway's Harry and I had our first encounter with Draco Malfoy.
After all that was done and over with we headed for Ollivander's Wand Shop. Harry entered first. After Ollivander appeared I told Harry that I wanted to go get my pet while he got his wand. That way we can get done with our shopping faster. I walked with Hagrid to the pet store. As soon as I entered I felt a slight pull towards the back of the shop. I headed for where the pull was coming from. There sitting on a shelf sat a lone cage with a coverlet on it. I peeked under the coverlet to discover a beautiful phoenix sitting there in all its glory.
"Excuse me miss? Why is this phoenix all alone and in the back?" I ask one of the workers.
"No one wants her. It's a shame really. Such a beautiful creature." She said as she walked over to me.
"I'll take her. I don't care what the price is." So I bought her and named her Eclipse because she has black feathers with silver ones surrounding the others making her look like an eclipse and she has bright blue eyes with just a touch of silver.
After returning to Harry and showing him what I got and Hagrid's present which is a Snow Owl which Harry named Hedwig. I stand in front of Mr. Ollivander. After an hour of trying different wands it finally comes down to one wand.
"Your wand is the most powerful wand ever to be made Ms. Snow. It's thirteen and half inches, Yew. The only difference to Harry's wand is the Phoenix feather that resides in this wand. The phoenix you bought gave one tail feather and that one tail feather is in your wand. I will be expecting great things from you too miss Snow..." And with that we left heading back to the Leaky Cauldron for the rest of our stay here before school starts.
(A/N I don't care what order the stores go in, in the book! I am going to go where I want them to go and in the order I want them to go!)
Harry and I grew closer together in those last few weeks of summer. I told him all about the Wizarding world and about what I knew of Dumbledore and Voldemort. I reminded him everyday that Dumbledore would try manipulate him and that he should guard his mind. I read a book on occlumency and I started teaching myself and Harry in our free time. Otherwise we were reading through all our school books and memorizing it all so that we would have a head start.
Finally September first came. Harry and I were up before dawn and doing our exercises and doing some last minute packing even though almost everything was already in our trunks. After doing our morning exercise we shrunk our trunks (Harry got a new trunk too and it shrinks.) with Hedwig and Eclipse in them so they wouldn't be hurt. After taking a quick shower each we went down for breakfast. After using the Floo network to get to the station we bid Hagrid goodbye and got on the train knowing we would be seeing our friend soon. We soon found an empty compartment and sat down and stared out the window sadly.
"Harry are you nervous?" I ask as I sit there staring out the window at all the other families saying goodbye to there family member who was going to Hogwarts this year...
"A little... I'm hoping I wont be pointed at to much. I really don't like the attention." Harry replies.
"I know what you mean. I am rather famous myself. Just walking on the platform people started to point and stare." After that we both fell silent.
A few minutes later at exactly eleven o'clock the train started to move. It was only a matter of time before someone else would be joining us. After the platform disappeared I look at Harry and start thinking over the events that would be happening from the time we stepped into Hogwarts, until the time we would be going back to the Dursley's. Just then the door opened and there stood Draco in all his glory. He stood alone and a bit unsure of himself.
"Please come in Mr. Malfoy." I say with a bright smile.
"Thank you... What's your name again?" He asks a little bashful at forgetting my name.
"My name is Myeisha Snow and this here is Harry Potter. Remember?" I say with an even brighter smile.
"Oh yes now I remember." He says with a smile as he shakes our hands.
"What house do you think you will be put in?" Draco asks the both of us.
"I don't know. I think I can be put in any of them." I reply and then I turn to Harry.
"I think Gryffindor. What do you think Draco?" Harry and I turn to the young Malfoy.
"I would have to say Slytherin because if I don't my father will be angry with me." Was Draco's reply.
"I see. I'm sorry that your father seems to control your life." I say at last after thinking of a good response.
Soon five more people joined us. Hermione Granger came in with a boy named Neville Longbottom claiming he had lost his pet frog, Trevor. I found him under the seat and they decided to stay with us. Hermione said that she would probably be put in Ravenclaw while Neville said something about being put in Hufflepuff. Susan Bones, Terry Boot and a girl named Luna Lovegood came in five minutes later. After asking the same question they answered saying that Susan would probably be in Hufflepuff, Terry in Ravenclaw and Luna in Ravenclaw.
After that we all got better acquainted. Finally we arrived at Hogwarts. After we got off the train in our uniforms which consisted of, a simple black robe, any kind of shoe you wanted to wear, for the girls a black school skirt that went down to our knees and the boys wore black slacks. We also have on a white button down shirt and a tie which is black for now.
What I wear is a little different then the dress code. I knew I wouldn't get in trouble for wearing something a little different because no one can see it. My black skirt is really a long skort which is shorts and skirts as one. The more noticeable change is not exactly against the rules so I knew I wouldn't get in trouble. The robe is sleeveless and only goes down to able my knees and it also looked more like a trench-coat then a wizard robe and my white shirt under the robe is silver rather then white and it has long sleeves that flare out at the end. I also wear high heeled black boots that reach to just bellow my knees.
(A/N I changed the dress code a bit! So deal with it! Also I will be drawing a picture of Myeisha in her school robes and putting it on the site so please check my profile!)
I follow Hagrid as he led us to some boats that would carry us across the lake to Hogwarts. I sit with Harry and Draco as we ride along to Hogwarts. Everyone in the boats are speechless as we see the magnificent castle come onto view. As we enter the castle a stern looking woman greets us.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall. The sorting will begin shortly. I ask that you stay here and don't wonder off. I will come back for you in a few minutes. When you enter you will go up to the staff's table and turn to face the house tables. There you will wait until farther instruction." The Professor told us.
After she left an old man cam to greet us. I knew in and instant who it was. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Welcome to Hogwarts Ms. Snow. After the Sorting I would like a word with you..." He said before turning around and entering the Great Hall as we waited in the Entrance Hall.
Every first year student, including Harry, looked at me with pity, thinking that I had done something wrong or it was because of how I am dressed. I sigh as the doors to the great hall open as if by there own free will. May God help me be brave in what I am about to do...
(A/N I hope you guys like this chapter! It is the longest one yet! Yippy! Lol.
Harry: You made Draco nice again! Why?
Karone-sakura: Because I like him nice! And guess who is gonna be the meanie?
Myeisha: Who?
Karone-sakura: I'm not going to tell you! Ha! You have to wait and find out in the next chapter! Muh hahaha! Oh and its an existing character too!
Both: You such a meanie!
Harry: Well at least she was nice to us this chapter. Look at all the friends we have made already!
Myeisha: Yeah I guess so... but she left everyone at a mild cliffy.
Harry: I'm sure everyone will survive! That is if miss Karone-sakura gets enough reviews...
Karone-sakura: Speaking of reviews! I would like to again thank Lilmaniac and Ril for there reviews. It means a lot to me that I have two constant reviewers!
Karone-sakura: Talk to guys next time! Don't forget to R&R!)
Spoilers: "I am telling you Professor! Its none of your business of where I was for ten years. If you were my guardian then I might have told you."
"I don't need protecting. I am very capable of defending myself."
"Hi my name is Professor Gabriel Vincent Shepherd. I am your Head of House."
"I told you to leave it alone!"
