Chapter Three: Autumn

My mother, step father, little brother, and I has just arrived to England from out home country of Japan. I was receiving death threats back there so they are making me run. When we gotten in out ghost carriage all was quiet.

"Oh, Autumn, you're just going to love Hogwarts!" my step gather decided to break the silence.

"Is that so? How Would you know if I would like it there? Have you ever been there?" I demanded, glaring at him with my cold violet cat eyes.

"Why no, kitten, but they are known for their top notch security. Oh, it won't be so bad!" he purred patting my head with his nasty claws. I did nothing, but glare at him.

"Stop frowning, dear, it really won't be that bad. After all your uncle will be there and Bast will always be with you," mother tired t reassure me. Bast was my beautiful black cat. She had beautiful golden yes and orange was mixed into parts of her fur.

"I've never even met my uncle..." I mumbled pouting.

Mother smiled at me kindly. "Stop whining!" she said playfully hitting me on the head. "I'm really worried about you. I don't want my dearest daughter murdered!"

"Worried? It doesn't look like it to me! If you were so 'worried about me' then why would you send me off to some boarding school! You have no idea about what would happen to me there and I bet you don't even care! I bet you all would be happy that a freak like me would be gone!" I yelled. Just because I'm a child, it doesn't mean I don't know what's going on...

"Don't say that, sis..." my brother spoke up.

"Don't say what? The truth! Can't you see! Everyone hates me back home!"

"I don't hate you..."

"I'm sure you don't," I said sarcastically.

"It's not a boarding school dear," my step father said nonchalantly. I looked at him then my mother. She was looking at the floor and staying quiet not even trying to stand up for me.

"Shut up! You're the reason why my dad's dead!"

"He did not! Apologize to him, Autumn!" mother yelled furiously. My eyes widened. How could she choose him over me? I felt my eyes pool with tears.

"Well," he looked at me with a smirk on his face showing one ofl his yellow fangs.

"Platform 9 3/4!" our ghost driver siad.

"I hate you..." I mumbled clenching my fists.

"What?" my mother and step-dayd chimed.

"I said, I hate you! All of you! I'm going to move in wiht my uncle and never come back so you all can have your stupid perfect Naiko family with no half-breed to taint you family portrait!" I hollered, running our of the carriage and through the portal, Bast at my heels.

I had sunglasses a hat and a long jacket on to cover my cat like parts so no one would think I'm anything special. Once I got into an empty room of the train I looked in a mirror. I have stopped crying a long time ago, but my eyes were still red. My long deep violet hair was messy from running in a crowd I saw one of my cat ears peak through my hat, if I opened my mouth even slightly my fangs would show, and m tail curled around my waist. I ran out so quickly that I couldn't use my transfiguration spell.

"Vereto," I said swinging my wand. Almost instantly, all of my cat-like features seem to disappear.

I was all alone in my little room. No doubt people will invade it soon. I looked outside my window. Children hugging their parents goodbye. One mother and daughter even resulted to crying as if they would be separated forever. I wonder how it would be like to be a loving family. My family all hates me. Well, I hate them too!. If I ever see them again, it would be too soon.

"Koneko, dear, we must think about the future. Autumn is old enough to be in school now. You should send her to Hogwarts. The school where her dad's brother teaches at. I'm sure they will do all they can to protect her, you know with all these recent threats..." He's doing it again... My dreaded step-dad is trying to pursued my mother. I bet he's the one who wrote this so-called "threats." Mother will never agree to his tricks.

"You're right..." What! I can't believe mother wants me to go!

"Yes. And since you're always so busy there isn't much you can do for her. It'd be best if she was sent there."

"You're right. I'm going to sign her up for Hogwarts. But what of her... um uniqueness...?" mother questioned talking about my eyes, ears, and tail.

"She's really good at changing her look. After all her father did teach her everything," he assured my mother.

"Autumn, sweetie, you're going to go to Hogwarts, isn't it exciting!" mother said to me.

"No," I said plainly.

"Weather you want to or not, you're still going," mom said sternly.

"lo... Hello!" a female voice screamed. I snapped out of my daze and looked at her. She had short brown hair and green eyes. She seemed to be about my height with a dark complexion.

"What?" I asked distinctively.

"Can I sit with you?" she asked. I nodded in reply. "Great! I'm Spring Blossom, by the way," she introduced settling her things.

"Autumn Snow," I siad my name. I saw that she was looking at my cat. "She's Ast," I pointed.

"Cool!" she smiled.

"I suppose so..." It was quiet after that. I took out a book and started to read A History of Magic by Adalbert Waffling.

"A history book? Speaking of history, I hear the legendary Harry Potter is joining Hogwarts this year! I hope I get classes with him. Rumor has it that he's quite the eye candy..."

I raised an eyebrow, "Harry who?"

"You know! Harry Potter! The boy who lived!"

"We all live. What's so special about him?"

"He's special because he-who-must-not-be-named couldn't kill him!" I gave her an I-have-no-idea-on-what-you're-talking-about look.

"Are you stupid!" she screamed with her hands on her cheeks.

"No...? I'm quite smart..." I replied. She's an odd one. Maybe it was my mistake to let her in my room...
