Change Your Mind

Tru woke up to her Aunt's knock on the door, and moaned " I need more sleep." "Hurry up Tru, or you'll be late for you departure!" With that Tru slowly got out of bed and started to pack for school. Every year the students took the nearest portkey to a small town in Japan, and from there they regrouped and rode their broomsticks to the school, hidden deep in the mountains."OI! TRU YOUR GONNA BE LATE IF YOU DON'T HURRY!" Tru sighed and said" I'm going, just give me a second" she finished brushing her long blonde hair into a bun. Tru knew that she was very pretty didn't like be fussed about. Tru rushed into the kitchen " goodbye Aunt Moll I'm really gonna miss you i'll write you lots." Aunt Moll smiled" I know you will dear, have a good year, between me and you I hear something fabulous is taking place." "what is it?" Tru smugly asked " I don't know dear, but it's supposed to be amazing. Now hurry!" Tru smiled and hugged her aunt goodbye.

As Tru walked down the trail that led to the portkey, she stopped to notice what a beautiful day it was, the sun hitting her face she rembered what it was like to relax a little bit. She continud to walk enjoying the weather until she reached her porkey. There was a group of young girls surrounding an old tire swing, and she knew she had found her port key. When she approached two girls, about seventeen, Lindsay, and Taryn, they had been her best friends sice their first years. " hey how was your guy's summer?" Tru asked smiling. "Same old same old, you know, couldn't keep the demons and vampires off me." Lindsay answered smugly. "you mean, you had to call me for backup every other day." Taryn teased. "kiss my ass!" and with that they all broke into laughter.

"hey you three get ready, it's about time!" a watcher yelled. So with that Tru and her two friends grabbed the old tire swing and were transported to a small town in japan, and were suddenly surrounded by about a thousand other slayer students. Tru smiled and said"It's good to be home." "Talkin to yourself again Tru." Tru turned around to see a tall slender red head straing at her, " What are you looking at, you miserable excuse for a slayer?" Than Tru reckonized her, it was none other than Cordelia, her rival since her first year. Cordelia couldn't stand that Tru had been so famous and popular when she came to the Academy because of her mother and grandmother being the best slayers of their times, while Cordelia's family was barely known for a few werewolve slayings. Cordelia loved to shove the fact that Tru's mother and grandmother were dead and she didn't know who her father was in her face. Tru always got back at her though by beating her at every thing they competed against.

"God I barely reckonized you, where have you been, prostitution school?" Tru snapped coldly "mmmm you'd know all about that from what your mom taught you wouldn't you!" Cordelia said smugly.Suddenly Lindsay had ran up and decked Codelia in the face "You need to learn to watch your tone with your future supervisors." Taryn said while looking down at Cordelia, who was on the ground grabbing her nose in pain. "You'll pay for that, just you wait and see!" Codelia spat.

"oi everyone, it's time to get your brooms and fly up to the school, so quit playing around and go!" a watcher yelled. With that Tru, Lindsay, and Taryn jumped on their Firebolts and were off. There school was consealed very deep in the mountains, to keep unwanted guests out. As Tru was flying she felt the same presence again she had felt the night before in the alley, only this time it felt closer. "Hey Tru, what's wrong with you?" Taryn asked concerned "Nothing just thinking about the year ahead." Tru answered. "Hey you guys were here!" Lindsay yelled over the wind. Tru looke down to see the slayer academy in all its glory. It truly was a beautiful place, Large pillars rose around it and made it look like a japanese dojo on the outside, but on the inside it was bigger than any castle could ever be.

As Tru landed she saw all the school teachers and watchers below. " Alright second, third and fourth years go change into your robes and wait in the mess hall for the feast to begin! Fifth and Sixth years go with the first years and show them their rooms, than change and aslo meet in the mess hall! Seventh years stay put I have an announcement to make!" said Lady Mariyama, the schools headmaster, a very famous slayer herself, she was quite old and had been around to teach Tru's mother and grandmother. "What do you think this is all about?" Lindsay asked Tru and Taryn "It must be something really important, to do it out here before the feast." Tru stated quietly so they wouldn't be overheard. As the last of the first years hustled into the school Lady Mariyama waved her hand for silence amongst the seventh years "I know you are all very excited about spending you seventh years finishing up your training, so you can get your liscences and begin working for a ministry. But I am pleased to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" and with those words there was a great stir among all the seventh years standing out there. Lady Meriyama raised her voice "Quiet, if you please! I think you all remember your history lesson on the Triwizard Tournament, and that it was discontinued do to the high cause of death tolls. And that everytime our school agreed to compete the we won. Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrived at Hogwarts today, we will be leaving tonight to all those that wish to go. Those that sre not yet seventeen must stay behind, so go pack your things! We leave within the hour!" Another stir of gasps and omigods went through the crowd and no one moved. Lady Meriyama raised her voice to a yell "I SAID GO AND PREPARE YOURSELVES NOW!"

With that everyone rushed quickly into the school while still talking about the tournament awestruck. Than Tru suddenly realized something "Taryn, your only sixteen, that means we have to spend our last years apart." Lindsay gasped "no way am I going without you man!" taryn smiled breifly "Hey guys you better go, and you better win this damn thing to!" Than suddenly they ehard a watcher yell "Hurry up! Get your flying clothes on were going to fly to a safe point and take a portkey to hogwarts!" Tru and lindsay hugged their friend goodbye and mounted their brooms, as they flew off they both said goodbye to the relaxing year they thought they were gonna have.
