A/N: Sorry for the long update. I didn't get a chance to go on my computer and actually start working on the third chapter. Oh yeah, I know it is getting depressing (trust me I feel it too), but don't worry this fanfic isn't straight up depressing. Okay I'll shut up now.
Chapter 3 – Back to HogwartsIt was the day of the year again, the day that all Hogwarts students go back to school. Marty packed her trunk with clothes, books, robes, and everything else she needed.
"Hey you going to King's Cross now?" Kyra asked on the phone.
"Um, yeah." Marty said while leaning the cordless phone on her shoulder. "Look, Kyra I gotta go now. I'll see you there."
"Alright bye." They hung up.
"Come on Marty we have to get going!" Her mother yelled downstairs.
"Just a second mum!" Marty tried to pull her filled trunk, but it didn't move. "Aw come on." She tried to pull it again but it still didn't move. "You suck!"
"Marty?!" His mother called.
"Not you mum!" Marty yelled. She tried to push the trunk but it still didn't move. "Grrr…"
"Marty!" Her mother was at your door.
"The bloody trunk won't move!" Marty sat on the side of her bed.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Her mother conjured the spell with her wand. "Come on let's go."
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Marty's little brother Jonathan ran into the levitated trunk.
"You little punk get out of the way!" Marty yelled.
"Marty he's only eight!" Her mother scolded.
"Seven year-olds are aware of things why isn't he?!" Marty rolled her eyes.
"You keep rolling your eyes like that they'll be stuck that way." Said Marty's older brother William as he laughed while eating cereal.
"You know what…" Marty saw a snowball and threw it in his direction.
"WHOA!" William ducked and the snowball burst as it broke the glass cabinet. "Oh you are so dead!" William laughed.
"Mommy's going to get mad!!!" Jonathan laughed.
"SHUT UP!" Their mother yelled. Suddenly, everyone just stopped. "Reparo!" The glass cabinet and snowball were immediately fixed. "Will…eat your food! Jonathan…go to your room!" Jonathan runs up the stairs crying.
"Baby…" Marty smirked.
"And as for you Marty…" she eyed her. "You behave like this at school you're coming straight home and I mean it!"
"Yes mum…" Marty replied.
"Adrian!" Their mother yelled.
"Coming dear!" he ran down the stairs. "Why is Jonathan crying?"
"Don't ask." Said Marty.
"We better get a move on now dear." She said as Marty and her father went out the door carrying their trunk just in case Muggles pop out of nowhere. "Oh and Will dear,"
"Yes mum?" he looked up at her.
"Tell your brother to do shut up before the neighbors get mad." She closed the door behind her.
Mr. Hanberg drove Marty and her mother to King's Cross, where they saw other Hogwarts students.
"Alright Marty you better get going and onto the platform." Said her mother. "Do you have your ticket?"
"Yes mum. I love you both and I'll be fine." Marty hugged and kissed her mother.
"Don't forget to write." Her father kissed her on the forehead. Marty waved back at them as she went through the barrier. As usual, platform 9 3/4 was full of Hogwarts students everywhere. Marty tried to carry her trunk but of course, it didn't get off the cart.
"Need help?" a boy that looked her age offered. She then noticed he wasn't using a house uniform.
"Are you a first year?" Marty wondered.
"Oh no, I'm a transfer. Now, I'm offering help. Do you need it?" he asked.
"Oh yes please. It's quite heavy." Said Marty.
"Alright carry the other end." They both carried the trunk into the train and it was taken to the luggage area.
"Thanks." Marty gave a little smile.
"No problem." He walked away and into a full cabin. Marty began looking for Kyra through the crowded walkway.
"Oh how inconvenient…" Marty said as she pushed through the crowd and got stuck in the corner. Suddenly, she sees Draco pushing through the crowd too.
"Hey." Draco got stuck in front of her.
"Pleasant moment…in the crowd." Marty said sarcastically.
"I'll try to get out." They both tried moving but everyone else was pushing in. "Walkways should be much bigger."
"Yeah." Marty chuckled. At one point, their eyes met and all they had were butterflies in their bellies. Suddenly, the power had turned off for about two seconds. When the power was on again, it was as if they had finished a kiss.
They both stared blankly at each other. "Um…I should try getting out of here." Draco avoided her eyes.
"Yeah…it's um…getting harder to breathe." Marty stuttered. Eventually the crowd had lessened and they had parted, but there was one question in Marty's head. Did he kiss me or did I kiss him?
"Marty! In here!" Kyra called. Marty got to the cabin and saw that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in there.
"I'm guessing I'm late." Marty sat next to Kyra.
"Yeah…just a bit." Hermione smiled.
"Did you hear about those new kids?" Ron asked.
"They're from Far East International School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Said Hermione.
"Where's that?" Kyra asked.
"In Japan." Said Marty.
"How do you know?" Ron asked.
"It's called the Daily Prophet Ron." Marty smiled. Ron shook his head.
"But why are they here?" Harry asked.
"The school is under renovation for a year." Said Hermione.
"A year?! I think that's a bit long. What happened?" Kyra asked as the train began to move.
"I read that some students played around with the charms and muggles began entering the school. It sparked controversy." Hermione replied.
"Their charms must not be that complicated then." Said Ron as he looked out the window.
"Probably, or maybe the charms weren't strong enough." Kyra shrugged.
The ride to Hogwarts didn't feel that long. Eventually, Marty had fallen asleep and so did Ron. Finally, they had arrived at Hogsmeade.
"Ron, wake up." Said Hermione.
"Are we there yet?" Ron asked yawning.
"Yup, already." Said Harry as they left their cabin and got off the train.
"First years and new students follow me!" roared a voice.
"Hagrid." Harry nodded.
"We better get a move on. There's still enough carriages." Said Kyra as they got into a carriage. Once they had arrived at school, they went straight to the Great Hall and put on their hats.
"I can't believe it…our last year." Hermione sighed.
"Aw come on Hermione. It's just started." Ron smiled. They went to their usual place at the Gryffindor table where they met up with Dean, Seamus, and Neville. Marty had taken her seat and caught a glimpse of Draco in the Slytherin table but looked away. After a few minutes, two long lines of students were followed by Professor McGonagall into the Great Hall. Everyone thought it was a little weird because there were also older students that were in the end of the line.
"Great…it's the sorting…ouch!" Ron got nudged by Hermione. The sorting took a long time since there were also new students.
"Looks like we got some of the new students." Said Kyra. At the edge of the table, two new boys and three new girls were chattering away. Ron immediately started making friends.
"So what are your names?" Ron asked. Hermione nudged Ron again. "Sorry…I wasn't paying attention to the sorting." He said quite embarrassed.
"Oh it's alright." Said one of the girls. She had brown hair and large green eyes. "I'm Deanna Martin and I'm a fifth year."
"I'm Christy Fujiwara and I'm a seventh year." The Japanese girl with short orange hair smiled.
"Yes a seventh year!" Kyra smiled.
"Oh, James Richards, and I'm a sixth year." The boy with hazel eyes and blonde hair smiled.
"You look like a halfie." Said Marty. "Sorry just wanted to say that."
"Actually I am. My dad's American and my mother is a Filipina." He replied.
"Cool." Said Harry.
"I'm Jessica de Rossi, a third year." The youngest of all of them smiled. She was petite, had long brown hair, and had almond blue eyes.
"And I'm Kouji Hijikata, a seventh year." The boy smiled. He was tall, with a light complexion, and had dark brown eyes.
"Hey you're the guy that helped me on the train." Said Marty.
"Um, yeah that was me." He said awkwardly.
"Well it was nice meeting all of you. I hope you like it at Hogwarts." Hermione smiled.
"Thank you." They all smiled. A few minutes later, Dumbledore gave his usual beginning of the year speech directed to the first years and in addition, new students as well. He then had the tables magically filled with food.
"This is amazing!" said Christy. "Oh look! Sushi!"
"This Dumbledore…he's really making us feel at home." Smiled Kouji.
"Yup." Ron drank his pumpkin juice. "Dumbledore, good man he is."
"Just wait till you guys go to Gryffindor tower. It's really comfy." Kyra smiled.
"I heard there's a common room. What exactly do you do there?" Christy asked.
"Students can just hang around talk with their friends. Or if they want, do homework." Harry replied.
"Interesting." Kouji nodded.
"So what is this deal with the houses?" Christy asked.
"You're quite inquisitive aren't you?" Hermione smiled.
"I'm just really amazed by this school." Christy replied.
"Well…" said Ron. "You know about the House Cup so I don't have to tell you that. It's just, you might want to stay away from the Slytherins."
"Are they bad or something?" Kouji asked.
"Not all of them." Marty mumbled.
"Sorta…" said Ron. "Just keep an eye out. They hate nearly everyone except those in their house."
"I see…" Christy nodded. "Rivalries."
"Exactly." Harry agreed.
"I'm really amazed that your English are very fluent." Said Hermione.
"The actual Japanese in our school have English as a mandatory subject. It's the only way we could communicate with the other students." Christy replied.
After dinner, Ron and Hermione had Prefect duty. "We'll see you guys later. We have to take the first years and new students for a tour."
"Alright then. See you then." Said Harry as he walked with Kyra and Marty to Gryffindor Tower.
