Gotta Be Somebody

Chapter 1:

I am sorry I have to refuse

"Meow"

"Ugh five more minutes," I groaned pulling my duvet over my head.

"Meow" I felt one of Carden's Grey fluffy paw hit the top of my head.

"Fine" I grumbled, rolling literally off the bed, falling with a loud thump on the floor. "You win"

After pulling on my school uniform and packed, (more like flung ever thing and everything in and had to jump on it to close it) my trunk, I went down stairs to get something to eat.

Sitting down at the square table I cautiously began to eat while watching the woman standing with her back to me at the sink. I watched he like a dingo watches a baby, terrified she would pull a knife out and try to stab me. Bit watching her I did not see what was coming from behind me. A hard smack hit the back of my head, pushing my head forward nearly causing me to choke on my Weetabix.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to stare?" barked my dad smacking my head again for good measure.

I did not answer him I just glared at the fat, sweaty, balding man that sat down across from me. The poor plastic chair creaking begging for mercy under his weight

"Now listen to me brat! I swear any trouble from you this year, I give you my word, I will drag you out of that school and get the whip at you," he snarled at me spitting everywhere.

"You're just an ungrateful child" then I blew up, to me there was nothing worse than being called a child. I stood up, fuming with anger, with an expression that would make a dementor cry.

"I hate you! I hate you both with all my body, my soul! I hope you both die and be tormented for the rest of your after life!"

I ran out the door with my bag in one hand and master Yoda in the other mutter to myself, as Carden walked beside me while Pikachu flew above.

Walking up along the parade, I weaved in and out of the flocks of tourists, earning a few strange looks along the way. What? Never seen a girl walking her fish and cat? I tried to ignore the stares and keep focus on the magnificent building in front of me. Known to the muggles as Kilkenny castle built by the Normans and bought by the Butler family. However, we know the truth. It was built by the Butlers the most powerful wizard family in all of Ireland. The school is Know as Dame Alice Kyteler School for Troubled Witches and Wizards, named after the infamous witch of Kilkenny that even the muggles know about.

Sitting on the section that strictly said "NO WALKING ON THE GRASS", I know I am a rebel; I sat and watched all the tourists go by. I sighed contently knowing once six o'clock strikes all of those people will be ushered off the premises and DAK will come to life. Of course no flying until dark but still

Because the school is a tourist attraction during the day, we are supposed to either blend in with the tourist during the day or sleep down stairs in our dormitories. Yes class at night time, sleep during the day, Hence why the school gets the nickname of the Vampire School. But with daily contact with muggles out of most wizards we are probably the best at blending in. so well that one day a man from the ministry visited, a nice man but very strange, a ginger, and was fascinated by everything, especially the automatic doors and all the muggle gadgets.

"Well Aurora, What's the story!" screamed Thomas, my best friend, into my ear, jolting me out of my little world. I looked to my left an there sat Thomas, with his bright purple spiky hair

"Nothing much and yourself...?" I asked pulling a few strands of grass.

"Ah sure, can't complain, oh did you do anything during the summer?"

"On lock down, only seen the four walls of my room"

Thomas gave me a sympathetic knowing look. "Oh me cousin, Shamus was down over the summer!"

"Really, how is he?" I asked petting Carden who jumped into my lap. Taking a quick glance back at Master Yoda to make sure he was okay before Thomas continued.

"Ah sure he is grand. He was tellin' me all about Hogwarts. Jaysus he really hates that Snape guy"

"Who…?

"Professor Snape" he said in a pompous accent "he is the potions master, with a nasty grudge towards Gryffindor" he added shrugging.

"What are the rest of the professors like?" I asked trying to be interested.

"Well the Head Master is a few bananas short of a full bunch, but apparently the rest are alright I guess"

I just shrugged not interested in Hogwarts, people are always on about it, and to me it is a school like any other, except its full of rich spoilt brats.

Sitting in the airy dark classroom with Thomas beside me drooling all over his book, muttering about a monkey stealing his banana, me on the other hand was daydreaming about my teacher exploding and his guts splattering all over the blackboard.

I dragged out of my daydream by my name "Aurora O'Hara" I turned around to see Professor Glyn standing there, her hands on hips, beckoning me forward "come with me"

Practically running behind Professor Glyn, you know for a short woman she can walk fast! Coming to dead stop she pushed me onto a large stone chair, which started to spin as soon as I sat on it. Spinning and spinning I was getting dizzy. When it stopped, I came stumbling off the stone chair. When the world stopped spinning, I was standing in the middle of Professor O' Neill's office, the head master of DAK.

"Miss O' Hare would you please take a seat" he gestured to the wooden chair in front of him.

"Is it going to start spinning around?" I asked looking sceptical at the chair.

"No," he said smiling. I sat down and when I did, I finally noticed it was not just me in here. Umbridge and some old dude that was clearly from the Ministry.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked, "Look is this about Lily White's rat turning violet? That was a pure accident, I sneezed and my wand…" I tried to explain but Professor O' Neill interrupted me.

"Aurora…I have some terrible news to tell you," O' Neill said sounding sad looking at me with pity. I went silent as he continued, "Today at 8 pm, your parents…I mean your adoptive parents were killed"

I sat there for a moment as it sunk in. "sorry?" was all I could say.

"Two death eaters' murdered them. No one knows why…." I Tuned out, the only thought in my head was the last thing I said to them. I HATE YOU! Unbearable guilt washed over me.

"..And so you have been transferred to Hogwarts…" wait, what? That dragged me out of my world. So that why Umbridge is here.

"No" I said firmly not leaving my home.

All the adults looked at me confused. "Excuse me?" Umbridge said looking confused.

"I am not leaving" I said with convection.

"I'm sorry my dear you have no choice in the matter" Umbrich slightly chuckled.

"And if I refuse?" I stood up and started to walk away and as soon as I had my back turned I was no longer in DAK, but of course, I didn't notice and continued "I am not going to go to a snobby school, full of rich brats…"

"Welcome to Hogwarts Miss O' Hara" an old man's voice that sounded extremely amused came from behind me.

I whirled around and my first was thought, Shit.
