OMG!1!111!11one
It's a Ewe-Sue!
Disclamer: I do not own any of these characters. J. K. Rowling is responsible for those out of the Harry Potter books, and I refuse to assume responsibility for Guadalupe, she just appeared out of the Ether. Also- the concept of Animals is taken from Gregory Maguire's Wicked. I do not intend this to be a crossover, it's just that this story would make no discernable sense without it.
A/N: I'm sorry.
Guadalupe sat on the Hogwarts express. Even though it was her first year going to Hogwarts, she was entering her fifth year. The reason for this was her transfer student status. She would have been happy to stay in Oz at Shiz, but the persecution of Animals had finally become too oppressive to handle. She knew that most Hogwarts students had never seen an Animal before. She knew that she would have to break many social barriers, but she was ready.
Suddenly, a tallish red head banged into her compartment, followed by a bushy brunette. "Bloody hell- it's a sheep!" the red head exclaimed.
"Actually," Guadalupe corrected, "I'm a Sheep, an Animal that can speak and think for myself."
"Oh, I've heard of Animals!" The brunette exclaimed. "I've read a lot about people- excuse me- Animals like you."
The red head was still staring at me with a funny expression. "We'd best be going then." He noted, "We were just looking for Harry."
"You're all alone," Said the girl, "why don't you come with us?"
I agreed, and set off with them. As we looked for him, the girl explained that her name was Hermione and that the red head's name was Ron. They were both prefects, and were just coming back from their carriage to find their friend Harry when they found her.
Finally, we reached Harry's compartment. Harry greeted Hermione and Ron before he noticed me. His expression was one of pure shock. He was unable to make a coherent noise. I spoke for him. "Yes, I am a Sheep. Yes, I have curly wite wool where you have pink skin. Yes I have four hooves where you have hands and feet. Yes, I have beady black eyes while yours are colored, and yes, I can talk." He just stared.
"Snap out of it!" Hermione admonished, "She's just like everyone else, sort of."
"I'm sorry." Harry apologized, and we all sat down and talked for the rest of the train ride.
When we arrived at Hogwarts, I went with the first years to be sorted. They were all sorted first, and then Dumbledore called me to the front. "Everyone, this is Guadalupe Fuzzy." He announced. "She's a transfer student from the land of Oz. She looks like a regular sheep, but her physical appearance is the only thing that separates her and the rest of you."
I sat down and placed the sorting hat on my head. "Hmm…" The hat thought, "I can see how brave you must've been to defy those who would oppress you. I really have no choice but to put you in GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table cheered as I went to sit down next to Harry. Barring his initial reaction to seeing me, he was a very attractive person. Ignoring my newfound emotions, I sat down and joined the discussion.
