So… IT'S CHAPTER THREE! I have writers block for my other stories, and this one is screaming my name. Also… School starts this week *Runs around random potted plant* I am excited, and not excited. I'm excited because I'll have something to do. (Hey, I'm ADD I get really bored really fast) And not excited because after a while I'll be sick of it. So. That means less updates, unless I can get my hands on a computer in study hall, then probably the same.
Disclaimer I still don't own the Sisters Grimm, or Harry Potter.
"I didn't mean to!" I held my head in my hands, embarrassed at my attempt at Wigardium Leviosa. Hermione tried to teach me it, and I tried, but I ended up levitating the whole building.
"It's ok Sabrina that just means you're powerful. Now, just put all of your focus on one object when you do the spell. For example, try to lift that waste basket. Swish and flick." She pointed to a trash can right next to the fire place. I pulled my wand back out, and pointed it at the basket.
"Wigardium Leviosa." I made the motions, and focused on the trash can. I watched as it shakily entered the air. I smiled. This time I didn't do anything too drastic. "Good job Sabrina. If you want it to go higher, lift your wand a little, and to set it on the ground, lower your wand, and stop concentrating on the object." I nodded, and lifted my wand a little. I only expected it to go a little higher, but the bin shot through the air, crashing through the ceiling, making a round hole.
"Um, stop concentrating on the spell." Hermione took my wand away from me, and set it on the night stand. "Sabrina! It's coming down!" Daphne yelled at me, grabbing Bobby and dragging themselves away from the fire place. "Sabrina, do the spell again when it comes back down." Hermione handed me my wand, and I gripped the handle. The bin came crashing down, and I just had enough time to do the spell. "Now what do I do?" I asked Hermione, not taking my eyes off of the bin. "Just take your concentration off of the spell." I did as she said, and the basket fell to the ground. "Good. I'll continue with you tomorrow, and by then Harry might be here." Hermione waved at us, and left the room.
"Who in the world is Harry?" Daphne asked me, petting her cat with one hand, her other on her wand. "I don't know, but I guess we'll find out." I told her, looking out the window admiring the dark sky. "I can't believe the train leaves in three days! I wonder where I'll stay? Will puck go? I wonder if I'll go to classes?" I ended her rant by covering her mouth with my hand. "We will find out Daphne." I said, looking in her eyes. "unkey!" She said, and I looked at her in confusion. I took my hand off of her mouth. "I said Ok" She explained, picking up Bobby. "Im going to go to bed."
"Hello, you must be Sabrina Grimm." A black haired guy shook my hand, and I stared at him. "Oh, I'm Harry, Harry Potter." I guess I still looked confused. "The boy who defeated Voldemort?" He asked me, wanting to know if I knew anything about him. "Sorry. I don't really read much." Harry smirked, and shook his head. "I'm in about every book. When I was little I so called defeated Voldemort, and sent him into hiding." I shook my head again, and sighed. "I just got introduced to this whole magic thing, so bear with me."
Three days later… 0-0/* (Harry potter holding a wand)
"So you just run through the brick wall?" I gawked at Fred when he told me to run head first at a brick wall. "Yep, Here, George, you go first." He motioned for his brother to run through the wall. "Ok." He lined up with the wall, and ran, pushing his cart in front of him, into the brick wall. He disappeared. "How about you go with Daphne and Puck?" He suggested to me, gesturing at them. "Fine, but don't laugh when I crack my head open." He nodded, and lined me up with the wall. Daphne and Puck lined up behind me, and Fred nodded. "Here goes nothing." I murmured, and ran straight at the wall.
I was surprised when I passed right through the wall. It felt like I ran through Jell-O for a few seconds, but then I was running normally again. "Sabrina, Look at that train!" Daphne bit her palm, and with the other hand pointed at a long, red, black, and gold train. "That is so cool! I wonder if the engine can go above three hundred miles an hour…" Puck murmured to himself. "I doubt it. We should be getting on anyway. It leaves in ten minutes." I grabbed Daphne's hand, and pulled her onto the train. "Excuse me misses, would you like to have your pets with you in your compartments?" A man in long black robes asked us, hauling our bags onto the train. "We would like them with us." The man nodded, handed us the cages, and advised us. "Make sure they don't get loose on the train." I nodded my thanks, and stepped onto the train.
"Excuse me, can me and Daphne sit with you?" I poked my head into Ginny's compartment. "Sure, Its only me and Luna." (Yes, I brought Luna into this story, she comes into the books in the fith one, but she is still in the same year as Ginny, and I love her character.) "Thanks." I stepped into the compartment, Daphne right behind me. "Oh, your Sabrina Grimm, aren't you?" The girl, who by process of elimination is Luna, asked me, her head tilted to the side. "Yes. And this is my sister, Daphne." I pointed at Daphne, and she smiled at Luna. "Sabrina, have you ever been, Taken over? I believe you have at least twice." Luna looked me in the eyes. "Um, yes I have. Once by a ghost and once by… Something you will never believe." Luna smiled at me, and patted my hand. "Oh, I might just believe what you will say." So I told Luna and Ginny our whole life story.
"Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, You'll be going to the castle with Professor Lupin." Percy stuck his head in our compartment. "Who is that?" Daphne got her palm ready to bite, just in case it was nessecary. "I am Professor Lupin. Dumbledore wants you to go to the castle early for some tests." A man stepped next to Percy, smiling at us. "I see you're in your robes, so come along with me." He gestured for us to follow him. "As you know, You both need to be sorted into your houses. You will both do it privately, as neither of you are in first year. Daphne, you will be attending some classes with first years, but most will be private. Sabrina, you will be with second year," He ranted the whole way off of the train. "Professor, what are the houses?" Daphne asked him.
"There are four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw is for the smartest people, Hufflepuff is for the kind people, Slytherin is for the cunning people, and Gryffindor is for the brave." We stepped into a carriage, and I sat down next to my sister on one side of the room. We were silent for the whole ride down. The dirt road made the carriage bounce every second, and there were no seat belts. Not even the type of seat belts in Granny's car. And those were just pieces of rope. "Ah, we are almost here." He looked out the small window. "Have a look." He moved away from the window, letting us see the school. Then, I let my jaw drop open.
IT was not a school, it was a castle. There were towers, and bridges, and courtyards. There were millions of torches lighting up the school so we could see it. Daphne bit her palm, and I was afraid she would break skin. "That is Pucktastic!" She screamed, falling back into the seat. I had to agree. "I'm glad you like it." He gave us a dry smile. "You will be given a map of the castle that you can use to find your way around in the beginning." I thanked God in my head. It never occurred to me how big the castle is, and how much of a chance we would get lost. The carriage suddenly hit smooth ground, and I supposed it was a bridge leading to the castle. We rode on the bridge for a few minutes, and we slowed to a stop. "This is it. I will lead you to Dumbledore's' office, and there you will be sorted into your houses." He said, opening a wooden door. I gripped Daphne's hand, and led her inside.
"Ah, Professor, what took you so long?" A lady in a green dress approached us, a stern look on her face. "Sorry, it took me a while to find them in the train." He looked down at the floor, bowing his head in shame. "Fine. Girls, come along with me." The woman gestured for us to follow her, and started walking down the hallway. "C'mon Daphne." I felt Daphne tighten her grip on my hand. We followed the lady down two hallways, when we finally reached a statue of a griffon. "Carmel Taffy." I looked at the woman out of the corner of my eye. Was she… Talking to the statue? "Just a moment." She held up her finger, and we waited. Then the ground shifted under my feet. I looked at the statue, only to realize it was now rising, revealing a flight of stairs. The woman stepped onto a step, and we did the same. It was like a magical escalator, the stairs kept moving, and moving. I heard a thud, then the stairs stopped.
The woman pulled out her wand, and set it against the door. The door was wooden, like all of the others, but it had golden swirls on it that slid into place when she put her wand against the door. It opened with a thud, and we stepped inside.
"Professor McGonagall, I trust you brought the girls with you?" A man with a long white beard sat behind a desk, looking at us with half-moon glasses. "Yes Albus, they are right behind me." McGonagall stepped to the side, showing Daphne and Me to the man. "You must be Sabrina, and you must be Daphne." He pointed at us with a long finger, and I nodded. "Ah, I am Professor Dumbledore, your headmaster. It is really nice to meet you at last." He stood up, and walked over to shake our hands. "You came here to be sorted into your houses am I correct?" I nodded again, unable to speak at the moment. "Well Sabrina, come up and sit on this stool." Dumbledore patted a stool, and I walked up to it. I lifted myself up, and sat on it. "Now, this hat talks so don't be alarmed." He said, and I felt a hat on my head.
'Ah, the Merlin Child. You can fit in all four houses, but we need to find which one. You are very smart, maybe in Ravenclaw. No, how about Slytherin, you are quite cunning, or even better Hufflepuff. There is a big pool of kindness down in your heart, all you need to do is open it up, and let people in. There is always Gryffindor. Gryffindor.' The hat thought in my mind. I prayed it wasn't Slytherin, I met someone from that house and they were what Daphne would call, 'mega olive'. "Gryffindor!" The hat yelled out, and I gave a weak smile to my sister. "Your turn." I hopped off the stool, and let my sister get on.
I waited for what seemed like days until the hat shouted out "Gryffindor!" I smiled at my sister, and she bit her palm. Maybe this was going to be a fun year.
DON'T YELL AT ME! Please? Pweety pwease? With a mountain of sprinkles on top? (Cherries and I are like Daphne and olives.) Anyway, I can't promise My update will be soon, but maybe in a week. Blame it on school. At least I can type during study hall. SO. If you read, you better review, or I will send a sugar crazed Daphne, Puck, and me on you! You don't want that… Do this symbol if you read my AN… (0_0)
