Me: Hey…guys…um yea, sorry for the really delayed chapter but I have a really good reason!
I have a couple things that happen but the major one is that my USB drive that had all my stories finally died on me. I had to get back all of my old chapters and retype what I could remember from my dead USB drive.
The other reason is the joints in hands for some odd reason started to hurt. I was limited to typing and writing for right now until I know the reason which there is one that is I'm not getting enough sleep – insomnia! And I might I have some Asthma problems cause of my acid reflux…yay – not!
Also, I was sick as well…so yea…sorry for the delay guys. Sorry, I normally reply your reviews but I have other fanfics to update and I don't want my hands to hurt by the time I'm half way to updating the other chapters.
Well, all side and done, onward to the story!

I don't own any of the Harry Potter books/movies or any animes but the OC's and the classes of Salem Academy. Enjoy!
-Salem Academy, Sept. 1, 1988-
Seven years ago, Lestrange arrived in Salem, Massachusetts with Harry Potter. Bellatrix decided to change Harry's name to Regulus Harrison Rodolphus Lestrange. She re-named him after her favorite cousin, Regulus Black but kept the name Harrison for the sake of Lily Evans.
The Lestrange brothers meet their squib aunt, Mary Wilson nee Lestrange and their uncle, John Wilson. The small Lestrange family stayed at the Wilson's cottage for a short time before getting their own place not too far from them. Surprisingly, Rodolphus and Rabastan became Aurors while Bellatrix worked as a mistress of a well-known clothing store for magical and non-magical.
While working at the American Ministry, the Lestrange brothers found out that the magical Aurors and non-magical police officers work together. The Aurors would stun any runaway criminals while the officers deal with them, magical or non-magical.
That's where Rabastan met Hilda Johnson, a secretary in the Auror department. The two hit it off pretty well and within ten months, they were married. On May 1985, Hilda gave birth to Ashley Jennie Lestrange.
Later, Bellatrix received an owl from her sister saying that she was pregnant again. On July 1987, Serenity Cissa Malfoy was born and surprisingly, on August 1987, Bellatrix gave birth to Lillian Bella Lestrange.
Now walking with a bunch of other first years, young Regulus was getting nervous. The walk to the Mess Hall was slow for the young Lestrange but upon entering the room, he was in awe. Upon up on the ceiling, there were different signs of the elements, floating with glittering bright stars. The round tables were separated everywhere with silverware and glass cups.
On the sides of the walls were stain glass windows with different kinds of magical beings that stand for the houses of Salem.
There were different types: mundanes, magical creatures, sages/mages, sorcerers/sorceresses, magi/magus, druid/druidess, enchanter/enchantress and seers. It was no wonder it is hard to get accepted in the academy so the ones that couldn't enter, the students would go to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry instead.
There standing at the Head table was a woman with long brown braided hair with lavender eyes. She smiled, "Welcome to another year in Salem Academy where you will truly learn the true mysterious about magic and life. I'm your Headmistress, Alexis Fudo. First years, your tables are the front row for the first month until you are familiar with the school – well, what are you waiting for? Dig in!"
A man with black silk hair and purple eyes snapped his fingers where the food appeared.
Regulus sat next to a boy with curly dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. On his right was a young girl with long black hair in a ponytail and light brown eyes. Across from him was a girl with short light brown hair and brown eyes. Seating next to the light brunette was another girl with long blond two-braided hair and blue eyes.
"Well, let's start with introduction, right? I'll go! Names Irving Valdis, the greatest Necromancer in all of Salem," said the dark curly brunette.
"I'm Kylee Alesea, pleasure to meet you all. I'm a Light sage and I hope I can become a Healer for magical and non-magical," greeted the dark hair girl.
"…Nadia Uzumaki, I'm a Water/Ice sage. I hope I can make a great change for both magical and non-magical beings," said the light brunette.
"I'm...Nyla Aviur, nice to meet you all," said the blond two-braided hair girl, softly.
"I'm Regulus Lestrange and I'm a Life mage. I was sort of surprised to find out that I was an elemental user. I thought I was going to attend Ilvermorny instead."
"My older cousin, Mana goes there," said Irving, pigging out some meat. "She was sorted into the house of Thunderbird. Make sense as I lost count the times we would go out to look for an adventure."
Nyla bit her lip, "…I…I have an older brother attending here. He's in his last year and the Head Commander for the House of Magi/Magus. He's a powerful water element user."
"Oh! Cool, what's your element? Do you have a familiar?" asked Kylee. She smiled, "Mine is a black cat name Moonlight."
Nyla paled, "Um…well…I don't know what my element is which surprised me when I was accepted into the academy. And I don't have a familiar just yet."
Nadia titled her head before grabbing hold onto Nyla's hand. She closed her eyes before smiling, "It's there, no need to worry. You just need to unlock it."
"How…How do you know?" asked Nyla, softly.
"I can foresee visions through feeling or the atmosphere. I can also see someone's magical aura and yours…it's locked but it will awaken when you fulfill the locks," replied Nadia.
Nyla sighed before looking worried, "That may have calmed me about being accepted here but, what about the others? What if they tease me for being the only one without any element magic?"
Kylee smiled, "Well, if that happens, give me a shout and I'll help you out."
"Me too!" said Irving.
Regulus and Nadia simply nodded.
Nyla smiled as a small tear ran down her cheek. She rubbed her eyes before looking over at the others, "What of your familiars?"
"I have two kittens," said Nadia, happily. "A Norwegian Forest name Tia and a Maine Coon name Kuppuru."
"Mines are the undead familiars," said Irving, proudly. "I can control any that passed away. What about you Reg?"
Regulus scratched his cheek, "It's a baby Phoenix name Halo."
The girls awed before they headed off to their dorms. They were luck to be sorted into the same house minus Irving since he was a Necromancer. In the morning, they headed to the Mess Hall where they sat in the same table last night and got hold of their timetable.
"Looks like we have History first," said Regulus before noticing their third class. He looked over at Nyla, "What are you going to do during Third period?"
"The Headmaster told me it's going to be my study period until further notice," replied Nyla.
"Right, shall we get going then," said Kylee.
-Hogwarts, Sept. 1, 1992-
"Welcome everyone, yes another wonderful year in Hogwarts. Now before we begin, I would like to introduce you Miss Nyla Aviur," said Albus Dumbledore, warmly. "She's a transfer student from Salem Academy."
Nyla came into the Great hall with Hagrid before walking over to where Minerva was standing at. She took a deep breath before taking a seat at the stool, ignoring the whispers among the students. That's when she felt the worn out hat being placed on her head.
"Let me see…what do we have here? An oversea student? That's something new…well then, shall we see where you'll be sorted at?"
Nyla bit her lip before nodding her head.
"Right, now let's see…ah yes, yes…you're quite loyal to your friends and protective as well but you don't have the right Hufflepuff and Gryffindor traits…mm yes, yes quite an intelligent child and such ambition as well…what do you think child?"
"That would mean you are suck between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, correct?" thought Nyla before glancing over to Regulus' cousin, Draco Malfoy. She had met him at Diagon Alley when she was getting her supplies with her aunt and uncle.
"Ah! I see so you have become friends with young Malfoy…yes, yes the more I see in your head, the more I can see your ambition and cunning, child. Good luck – Better be Slytherin!"
Nyla smiled as the hat was removed from her head before walking over to where Draco was sitting at. She sat next to him, "I'm so happy to be sort in the same house as you, Dray. By the way, Reggie says hello and hope to see you in his horseback riding tournament."
"Can't wait," said Draco. "By the way, welcome to Hogwarts. It might not be awesome like Salem Academy but its home, right guys?"
"If you say so mate and young little lady, the name's Blaise Zabini. The pig face girl next to me is Pansy Parkinson, the blond girl is Daphne Greengrass, the girl next to her is Tracey Davis and the boy on my left is Theodore Nott."
"Pig face?!" snapped Pansy, angrily. "I'll show you who the pig around here is!"
"So this Reggie person…is he Draco's mysterious oversea cousin?" asked Daphne.
"That's right but why are you asking?" said Nyla. She eyed Draco, "What are you trying to hide?"
"Nothing Nyla!" said Draco. He leaned over to her, "I'll explain to you when we are at the common room but not here. Their surnames…are not well liked here in Britain."
Nyla frowned but nodded her head. She waited until the welcoming feast was over before she followed her housemates to the dungeons where the Slytherin common is located.
When their Head House, Severus Snape finished his opening speech, Draco and his friends took her to a dark corner. Draco looked around to make sure no one was listening to them.
"Okay, what I am going to tell yea is something really important and must be kept secret, understood?" said Draco, seriously.
Nyla and the others nodded.
"Right, about eleven years ago, there was this Dark Lord that was killing muggles and muggleborns," started Draco. It took about an hour for his friends and Nyla to know the truth of his cousin's identity.
Nyla was in complete shock upon hearing that Regulus survived the Death curse and destroyed a full trained wizard when he was a baby.
"So he's the missing Harry Potter?" said Pansy. She shook her head, "But he can't be! He doesn't look like James Potter at all! You showed us a picture of him last year!"
"Haven't you been listening," hissed Daphne. She crossed her arms, "He was blood adopted by the Lestrange's so it would make sense that he wouldn't look like his biological parents."
"Oh right," murmured Pansy.
Draco smiled before taking out a moving picture with Regulus and his family.
Rodolphus had his dark brown hair in a shoulder length and his dark brown eyes. On top of his head was his little cousin, Lillian with long curly black hair and violet eyes who was smiling with joy. Next to his uncle was Bellatrix who surprisingly changed her black curly hair to blond and dark violet eyes. Standing in front of her was his cousin, Regulus who had long curly black hair with brown highlights and dark green-violet eyes.
His second uncle, Rabastan looked like his older brother except his dark brown hair was long and in a ponytail. In his arms was another cousin, Ashley with dark auburn hair and light blue eyes. Standing next to Rabastan was his wife, Hilda with auburn long hair and dark blue eyes.
"I'm going to miss them," murmured Nyla, sadly.
"You can come with me when I visit them during winter break," offered Draco.
"Oh thank you Dray," said Nyla, happily.
"So tell us about your friends in Salem Academy?" asked Tracey.
Nyla smiled before telling them about her friends that were starting in their fourth year while Astrid Thorstenson will be going to her third year. She explained why the year system was completely different than Hogwarts.
Within a month, Nyla settled down pretty well. She is second best in almost all of her classes minus Transfiguration and having problems with Charms like always. It was a good thing that Daphne was great in Transfiguration while Tracey was pretty good in Charms. Potions, History of Magic and Astronomy were absolutely her favorite subjects.
Nyla was dorm with Pansy, Daphne, Tracey and a girl named Millicent.
After two months, Nyla was currently at the library, trying to find a decent book for her homework when she ran into two redhead twins. "Oh, forgive me. I didn't see you guys there."
"It's quite alright…hey – you're that new transfer student! Nice to meet yea, the name's Fred and this is my twin brother George."
Nyla giggled, "You two are funny. So you're in the house of…Gryffindor, correct? Then can you explain to me why there is this big rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin?"
"Well, most dark wizards and witches came from that house," started Fred.
"And that house only allows purebloods as Slytherins don't like muggleborns," said George. He frowned, "I take it that you heard some of the older Slytherins say another name for the muggleborns, yes?"
Nyla nodded, "That's correct. Draco told me that it's a foul name for the muggleborns. But why do the Slytherins hate them so? I mean my old school accepts anyone…well if they have any elemental magic that is.'
The twins were about to reply when another redhead came up to Nyla and pushed her away.
"I'll tell you why you slimy Slytherins hate the muggleborns! It's because you guys think that you're better than them! That the muggleborns don't deserve to have magic!"
Nyla frowned, "I don't think that. Heck, some of my friends back in Salem were squibs and muggles. My own uncle is a squib and I love him."
"Yea right," sneered the redhead. "There is no Slytherin that is good. I saw you hanging out with Malfoy! Is he training you to be a future dark witch or…a whore?"
Nyla widened her eyes before taking out her wand, aiming towards the redhead's stomach. As tears ran down her eyes, she shout out, "Sectumsempra!"
The twins watched as the spell hit their younger brother where multiple cuts appear. Some cuts looked deep while a few were small. George ran over to his brother before picking him up as Fred looked over to see Nyla running away from them.
"Go, I'll deal with her," said Fred.
George nodded before going to the infirmary.
Fred searched and found Nyla nearby the Great Lake, crying her eyes out. He walked over to her and sat next to her, "I'm sorry for what my brother said to you. It was uncalled for. Don't listen to him, alright?"
Nyla sobbed, "I came here to escape my horrible time in the academy but instead I get bullied just the same and now being called a whore! Why? Why?"
Fred felt sorry for the young girl so he did what he normally do when his little sister felt sad, he gave Nyla a deep warming hug. He rubbed her back, "Hey come on now. Don't cry. If you like…we can prank Ronniekins for yea? How about it? I mean sure you hit him with a pretty good curse…a dark one but he did sort of deserve it."
Nyla sniffed before smiling, "No, I think the curse will do but thanks. You guys do pranks?"
Fred smiled, "But of course. My twin and I are quite famous here in Hogwarts on pranking any students or professors. We test our own products before dishing them out or selling them."
"You make your own pranks? May I help?" offered Nyla.
"Sure, the more the merrier," said Fred.
'…yes, it was worth coming here,' thought Nyla, following Fred back inside. She smiled, 'I think I made two new friends…I just have to be careful around people like Ron.'
