FALLING IN A DIFFERENT WORLD 2

By: 4NIC8

I turned around and felt my jaw drop.

Annie next to me wasn't much better.

"You have been brought here to help us defeat Voldemort. I am afraid Harry will need all the help he can get. I have already spoken to your parents, your luggage are in the hall, waiting for you to be sorted into your houses."

The old guy, looking like Professor Dumbledore said, mentioning us towards the castle.

"I think you made a mistake…we have never…"

He ignored our comments. "I will see you tomorrow. Have a nice evening."

Night was falling and Annie and me looked at each other, shocked.

"You're in…robes!"

I looked down and sure enough…SHIT! What the hell happened!

"It must have been the stone!" I exclaimed, quickly shushing into a whisper as other robed students started to come in.

"Where is it? Take me back right now!" Annie fumed, looking around.

"I can't! It's not in my pocket anymore!"

We looked around. "This isn't too bad." Annie said slowly after a while.

I nodded uncertainly. "Let's stay a while."

We both grinned.

"Hey, it's Potty and weasel. What a surprise."

Our eyes widened and we turned around to find ourselves quite close to Malfoy and his gang, annoying Harry, Ron and Hermionee.

"Don't forget that filthy little mudblood." A girl I guess was Pansy seethed.

I started seeing red. I always hated how none of my three favorite actors ever stood up to this jerk.

"Leave us alone Malfoy." Hermionee said angrily.

Professor Macgonagal appeared and Malfoy smirked before getting in line.

Annie and me both looked at each other nervously.

"Misses Mason and Brown, please step forward."

We looked at each other one last time before going to Macgonagal.

"You will follow that line of students and be sorted into your houses. The rest of you, in the Dining Hall."

They al filed in, sending queer looks at us.

I stared right back, not blinking and pretty soon they all looked down. My black eyes help me with this, whenever someone stared at me or something, I'd look at him or her unwaveringly until they lower their gaze.

Cool hunh?

We walked to the sorting hat and I nervously tugged at my robes, biting my lip while Annie, in front of me was trying to act bored. It probably worked for those who didn't know her but to me it was as noticeable as the nose on her face.

"Annie Brown."

She looked back at me and I lamely give her a thumbs up. She snorted and proudly walked to the hat.

I grimaced. She was damn nervous. I was a bit better at hiding my nervousness. I hoped.

"Hmm…Griffindor!"

I smiled and Annie walked to the cheering Gryffindor table, sending me an encouraging wave.

"Abigail Mason."

I grunted. It's Gaelle Mason, not Abigail Mason. Morons.

I sat and she placed the hat on my head.

"oh my…a temper that could rival that of Salazar slytherin, courage that could outwit Griffindor's, knowledge that could beat Hufulpuff and loyalty that could outgrow Ravenclaws. This is a difficult decision."

I raised an eyebrow. What the hell had he just said?

Put me in Griffindor already. Annie's in Griffindor.

The hat staid silent for a couple more minutes.

"GRIFFINDOR."

I sighted in relief and ran to the Griffindor's table, unaware that the teachers had heard all the hat had said.

Annie made space for me and I sat down with a big sight.

"That was close. What did the hat tell you?"

Annie asked excitedly. "um…stupid stuff. You?"

She shook her head. "Nothing interesting either."

Dumbledore made his speech and at the very end, he said:

"Oh, and miss brown and miss Mason will be helping Hagrid for the next couple weeks to take care of the magical horse we have received."

"Ron you are messing up your shirt."

I looked to my left and saw Hermionee scolding a blank faced Ron while Harry was day dreamingly looking out the window.

"Hi. My name's Abi." I extended my hand and Hermionee shook it, a bit surprised.

"Hermionee Granger."

Ron nodded his mouth full. "That big dirty boy is Ron and that is Harry."

I smiled at them.

For the next couple days I became very good friends with the trio but much to my sadness, Annie seemed to go farther and farther away from me.

I battled to stay in time for all my papers, tests and things to do but it was so hard!

Who would have thought? Not to mention that my now arch-enemy, Draco Malfoy was taking pleasure in beating me whenever he can. Which was to say all the time.

Oh, wait a minute, I beat him in Care of Magical creatures because he got bitten by on of the little Gleemurs, little goat-looking things that blow ice.

Tonight however, I left everyone in the common room and went for a walk.

I had taken to midnight strolls these days, sorely missing my best friend.

One of the reasons she had been avoiding me was because she was now officially Draco's new shag.

I would have stayed friends with her even with that but yesterday she sneered along with Malfoy when I got my potion dumped on my lap and I had to go to see Madame Pomfrey.

And that was it. She was no longer a friend. She was a traitor and someone I now ignored.

As I think these meagre thoughts, the candle Hermionee gave me a couple days back, following me around, shined upon a dark area and a flicker of something shiny caught my eyes.

I turned and saw nothing. I was in an unknown corridor I hadn't even visited yet and I was lost.

I looked at my watch and grimace. 2 am. I was so dead if someone found me here.

The glittering thing appeared again on my left and this time when I turned around I gasped.

The most beautiful shining door I had ever seen seemed to have just materialized next to me.

I hesitantly got closer and, holding my breath, I twisted the handle.

Nothing. It was locked. Stomping my foot, I took out the wand Dumbledore gave me and, pointing it to the lock, I muttered: "Alohamora."

Still nothing.

Sighting, I put my wand away and squinted hard at it as I always did at things that bothered me.

I placed my hand on the lock and said the first phrase that came to my mouth.

"Emo Te Hrena."

I gasped as the door opened and revealed…
