Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter nor are we making money off of
this. But the plot and the OC are completely of our own design.
Chapter 1
Yellowing leaves on the tree were the first signs of fall, but it was
also a sign that school would soon go back in session. The summer was
gone and now it was time for the return of the students. The grounds
and interior of Hogwarts felt empty and dull without the students rushing
throughout it. But it would once be filled to the busting point with
young witches and wizards. For Hogwarts is not an ordinary boarding
school, but a school where everyday subjects such as math and science were
traded for potions and charms. Hogwarts was a school of magic.
Legends were known to have once been taught here. This is the place
where the greats learned and grew in ways that made them great. Of
course there were the great war heros such as The Golden Trio and Draco
Malfoy. The Golden Trio consisted of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and
the great Harry Potter. In fact all the above mentioned all graduated
the same year. Hermione Granger was the great strategist that planned
all the methods of attack the assured the light victory. Ron Weasley
fought, killed, and caught some of the most notorious Death Eaters of all
time. Harry Potter, savior of the wizarding world, killed Voldermort
in the final battle. Last but not least Draco Malfoy was a spy for the
light, our eyes into the Death Eater's ranks.
All this information stood out in the minds of first years as the
stepped onto platform 9 3/4. The greatness the would have to live up to.
The Burden weighed on their shoulders and put fear in their stomachs.
This was the first year that Hogwarts had been open since the war.
Parents were awed by the lack of students as they sent their children on
the train. In their minds they remembered when they were students, how
crowded the platform was. But now with only one year instead of seven,
it looked empty.
In one cabin near the end of the train sat four nervous students. Two
girls and two boys. They stared at each other waiting for one to say
something. Finally a rather handsome boy spoke up. "Well I guess we
should get to know one another. My name is Riley. Riley Levay." He had
blue eyes and messy blonde hair.
The girl across from him looked up. "Hi. My name is Nadia Lions."
She gave a little wave. She had short black hair and dark blue eyes.
Her short stature, upturned nose, and pointed ears gave her the
appearance a pixy like quality.
The girl next to Nadia smiled, showing perfect white teeth. She had
long curly red hair pulled up into a bun with tendrils falling and
framing her face. She had warm brown eyes and a dusting of freckles across
the bridge of her nose. "Trinity. Trinity Mathews." Then all three
turned smiling to the second boy in the room who was crouched over a book.
He had dark brown hair and green eyes, which now were scanning the page
in front of him, unknowing of the gazes he was receiving. Riley
cleared his throat and the boy looked up.
He looked startled for a second and then asked in a soft voice. "Is
there something I can help you with?"
Riley just smiled. "Your name mate. What is your name?"
"Oh, my name is Blair Borrows." He laughed nervously.
Nadia looked around in awe. "Its amazing isn't it? We are actually
going to Hogwarts!"
"So many of the students are gone, why is Hogwarts even open?" Trinity
sighed.
"Snape and Dumbledore are gone, then there's Defense against the dark
arts..." Riley groaned.
"The Headmistress is McGonagal, Dark arts, potions, and transfiguration
will be taught by old seventh year students from right before they
closed last time. And you know Hogwarts teachers never give up, all the
rest is there. I think it will be a splendid first year" Blair said trying
to rise their spirits.
"Exactly like Blair is trying to say, Don't worry about it and have a
good time!" Nadia spoke up trying to cheer the gloomy atmosphere. It was
raining and icy cold. The sky was deep gray with a chilly fall. Nadia
looked around. Blair was reading and Trinity and Riley were both sound
asleep. "Psst. Blair..." He looked up. "What houses do you think we will
be in? What about if were all separated and we don't know anybody." She
looked at Trinity. "I only have one friend."
"So your actually worried yourself?" Blair said with a grin. Nadia
nodded. "Well, you don't have to worry about that. All dorms have been
changed due to the lack of students. There are only two dorms boys and
girls. We will still be sorted but, we will all see each other everyday."
Blair said sitting down his book. Nadia smiled and fell to sleep along
with Trinity. Blair on the other hand couldn't sleep. He was barley able
to. Not from excitement or worry. Nightmares of Voldermort. Still
haunted him.
The others might have made sacrifices for the war but he would bet that
none as great as his. In his mind he could still hear the screams of
his parents as they died. Blood curdling screams, which played in his
head like a broken record. He had hidden under his bed. Like a bloody
coward and listened to his parents die. 'Won't be sorted in to
Gryffindor thats for sure, they wouldn't want a coward like me. Maybe
Slytherin because he cared for his own safety more than his parents'.' Blair
thought. Anyway it didn't matter he was here to learn. That was what
was important. He didn't need friends. They would all run away as soon
as they learned about his past. He felt the train jerk to a stop and
it awoke him from his thoughts and the others from their sleep.
"Come on! Best hurry and get changed into our school robes." Riley
said as he scrambled to his trunk and started digging around. Everyone
followed his example and while the girls went to find a bathroom both
boys hurried and changed in the cabin. Once the girls returned the all
exited the train together. There was what looked like a giant yelling
orders over the roar of voices.
"Students! Go to the carriages! This way! Hurry up and find a seat!"
Nadia, Trinity, Riley, and Blair all scrambled into an almost empty
carriage. There was a bushy haired women sitting in there. She was
looking out the window. She huffed under her breath. But not quietly
enough as to not be heard.
"Where could they be? I told them just to come to the carriage with
me. Could they not follow even that simple of directions?" She crossed
her arms across her chest.
"Excuse me Miss?" Trinity ventured. "If you were waiting on someone
we could just go find another carriage."
"What?" She turned to look at us and blushed. "No! You don't have to
do that. Harry and Draco were supposed to be here and if they can't do
that then they have to lose their seats. Not you lot." She looked out
the window. "Besides as a professor I can condone running around in
the rain without reason. Its nasty out there."
"Professor?" Nadia questioned.
"Yes. Professor Granger. I'll be teaching Transfiguration." She
smiled.
"Granger? As in Hermione Granger?" Riley asked. "As in bloody part
of The Golden Trio?"
"No cursing Mr..." She stopped as she realized she didn't know his
name.
"Levay. Riley Levay." He said flustered that cursed in front of a
professor the first time he met her.
"Well Mr. Levay no cursing. And yes to answer your question. I'm
part of the 'The Golden Trio'." She said forming the quotation marks with
her hands as she spoke. She rolled her eyes. "So what are the rest of
your names?" They all duly said their names in turn. Pity fogged her
eyes when Blair told her his name. When he saw this he straighten his
expression grew stony. He didn't need anyone's pity. As the carriage
rocked to a stop, Blair shot out of it.
"What was wrong with him?" Riley asked.
"I don't know." Professor Granger said although it was easy to tell
she was lying through her teeth. She got up and stepped through the door
of the carriage. The others all just sat still for a second staring at
each other. Professor Granger poked her head through the door once
again. "So are you guys going to sit there all day or are you going to
come to the Welcoming Feast?" The thought of food stirred Riley in to
action. The girls just rolled their eyes and followed him. Once they
were out the all stared awestruck up at the castle. Professor Granger
swung around and look up at the great castle with affection in her eyes.
"Welcome to Hogwarts."
