The Magic Within
Chapter 3: Classes within Hogwarts
As Abbie woke up in the morning it took her a while to realize that she was not in her bedroom at home but was in the Hufflepuff dorms. Changing into her school uniform before looking at the alarm clock and realizing that it was only six in the morning. She then sat down on her bed and grabbed her school bag and packed her wand in her bag before walking down to the common room.
Sitting down on one of the chair's closet to the fire she grabbed a quill, ink, and a piece of parchment and started to write a letter home. Even though she was at Hogwarts it still didn't feel like home. Her home was with her mother Michelle and her little brother Michael.
As the other Hufflepuff student's started piling into the common room Abbie slung her bag over her shoulder and then started walking to the Great Hall. "Hey Abbie! Wait up!" Abbie looked behind her and said, "Hey Harry. Hey Ron. Have a good night?" Ron replied, "Yeah. What about you?" Abbie bit her lip and said, "Good. Not use to Hogwarts yet so I woke up early and wrote a letter for my mother and brother."
Harry then asked, "What about your father?" "My Dad isn't around anymore. He was the kind of person who loved adventure which is why he was a treasure hunter but there was an accident and the whole crew that he was with died." Harry looked sheepish and said, "Sorry about bringing it up."
Abbie looked over at him and said, "Don't worry about it. It was a long time ago and anyway I'm over it." They walked into the Great Hall and as Abbie started heading over to the Hufflepuff table, Ron said, "Hey Abbie let's walk to our classes together." Abbie nodded and then sat down at the table.
Grabbing eggs, bacon, and sausage she started eating as the other's started making their way to the table. The girl looked nervous and Abbie said, "Hey come at sit down next to me." The girl sat down next to Abbie and said, "Thanks I'm Dana." "Hi Dana. I'm Abbie." The two instantly connected and Professor Sprout walked down the table handing out the schedules.
"Looks like we got Herbology first with the Gryffindor's and then we have Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw." Ron and Harry then walked over to the Hufflepuff table and said, "Ready to go Abbie?"
"Yeah I am. Come on Dana. Let's all walk together." They all walked out of the castle together and tried to find the Herbology green house that they were in.

As they got to the Herbology greenhouse and walked to their spot's Professor Sprout said, "Welcome to Greenhouse 1 today first years. In this class we will be learning about the care for magical plants." Abbie stood next to Dana and as they started working on the plants it was completely different from what Abbie thought.
Everything that Abbie seemed to know was different from what they started learning and nobody even those from the wizarding families seemed to be to far ahead of those who like Abbie came from muggle families.
As Abbie and Dana worked together on the first magical plant it was like they matched each other's style perfectly but there were the people like Nathan and Carter Lewis who struggled to learn about the properties. As the bell rang Abbie, Dana, Harry, and Ron ran back to their separate common rooms and to take showers.
As Abbie and Dana tried to find Defense Against the Dark Arts Dana said, "What kind of family are you from?" Abbie said, "Muggle family. Nobody in my family has ever been a witch or a wizard. I'm the first Mum didn't want to believe it at first but she's proud of me no matter what. What about you?"
Dana replied, "I'm a half blood. My mother's a pureblood and my father's a half blood. Here's the classroom." Abbie and Dana found seats and then pulled out the books for the class. Abbie who always had a strong reaction to garlic said, "Good god. Whose bright idea was it to make a classroom smell like garlic?" Dana replied, "Whoever's classroom this is."
The two girls then looked over at each other and laughed. Professor Quirrell then walked in and said, "W-w-w welcome to D-d-d Defense Against the Dark A-a-a Arts. O-o-o open your books to p-p-p page 25 and c-c-c copy the s-s-s section about d-d-d defensive s-s-s spells."
Abbie looked at Dana with raised eyebrows and then started to take the notes down about it

Sitting at the Hufflepuff table Abbie was eating lunch with Dana and they were laughing about a story that Abbie was telling her about when her brother was younger. Dana then said, "That seriously happened?" "Yup my brother is terrified of squirrel's and if see's one he runs like there is no tomorrow." Dana then said, "How old is your brother?" "He's ten. His birthday is on Halloween and that's his favorite holiday so it's perfect for him."
Abbie then got out her schedule and said, "We have Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws. Let's get going." Abbie and Dana slung their bags over their shoulders and started their way to Transfiguration. Abbie then said, "What's your favorite class so far?" Dana replied, "I would have to say Herbology. I thought it would be Defense Against the Dark Arts but what's with Quirrell?"
Abbie nodded and said, "It's like he's afraid of teaching. It's not like we are going to bite. Okay that's not true. A girl I knew in my hometown would bite every person that he met." Dana laughed and Professor McGonagall walked in and said, "Transfiguration is one of the most complex magic you will learn at Hogwarts. But if you act up will be asked to leave and will not be returning."
After transforming her desk Abbie and the other's started taking notes on transfiguration. Halfway through the class they started learning Transfiguration. When the bell rang Abbie and Dana walked to the library and started to work on their homework. Abbie did the Defense Against the Dark Arts while Dana did Herbology.
Abbie then whispered, "You did bring up a good point about Quirrell." Dana then looked at her and said, "What was the point that I brought up?" Abbie rolled her eyes and said, "About Quirrell. I think that there is something about him that fishy. But I think that it's not for the better like some people think. He might be a dark wizard in the making or something else. Oh crap. Dana I'll meet you in the common room. I have to mail this to letter home."
As Abbie packed everything in her school bag Dana said, "Alright see you then."

Walking into the Owlery Abbie saw where Pharaoh was and walked up to him. Gently nudging him he flew onto her shoulder and softly hooted in her ear. Abbie then said, "Hey Pharaoh. I need you to bring this home for me. Love you boy. Wait for Mum and Mikey to right back alright."
Pharaoh gently nipped her ear and then she walked over to the window and watched as him flew out of the Hogwarts Grounds and eventually out of sight. Abbie was blindly walking back to the dorm and was thinking about what her father said to her before he left with the Endurance.
Abigail you are both brave and beautiful. You are so much like your mother and have always been a protector but there is much more to you then meets the eye. Willing to go above and beyond to help those in need. But always wanting to protect your little brave. You're going to do great things my little firebird. And always remember to be brave, be smart, and to always always follow your heart.
When Abbie came back to her senses she was in front of the Hufflepuff common room. She gave the password and then walked to the dorm that she shared and then grabbed her family's photo album and looked at the picture of her father and her and her little brother. Dana then came running in and said, "Hey Abbie. It's time for dinner you ready?"
Abbie replied, "Yeah. Abbie and Dana then walked to the Great Hall and started eating. Abbie didn't even know what she was eating until Dana said, "Are you okay Abbie?" Abbie looked over at her and said, "Yeah. Just thinking about Dad. Wondering if he would be proud of me going to Hogwarts."
Dana nodded and said, "I can understand that." The girls then finished dinner and walked up to the common room and sat down talking about the different classes they had today. When it reached 8 Abbie said, "I'm going to go to bed. And try to not think about Dad so much. Night Dana. See you in the morning."
Dana nodded and Abbie walked up the steps to her dorm and changed into her Pajamas and then packed her school bag for tomorrow. Abbie looked out the window down at the grounds where she could see the greenhouses and Hagrid's hut. She then looked farther in the distance and could see the lake that during the day was glistening and during the night was completely dark like somebody had turned off a switch.
Abbie then climbed into bed and started to read the book that she had brought with her. Abbie then pulled a picture out from the back of the book and looked into her brother's face and said, "I'm trying her Mikey but sometimes it's just overwhelming."
She then put her book on the table and turned out the light and went to bed. Abbie was walking in the darkness unsure of what was happening. She could hear a voice whispering Abigail. And as she turned around she heard it coming from farther ahead of her. Abbie then started running until something grabbed her and hearing somebody saying, "Abigail join me. It is your destiny. Join me and I can bring your father back Abigail. With your power and my brain for evil we will be unstoppable."
As Abbie yelled, "It Isn't My Destiny. I Will Never Join You. You l Can Never Bring My Father Back!" Something then grabbed her and Abbie woke with a start. Abbie looked around and saw that she was still in her dorm and ran a hand through her hair and said, "It was just a dream. Just a dream."
She then ruled over on her side and had a hard time failing back sleep but she eventually did.
A/N Alright done with another chapter. I know that it's shorter than normal but I promise that the next one will be longer. I hope that you liked it. Read and Review. And if you get a chance vote on my poll are through the reviews. The question is should Abbie be a Chaser or Seeker?
