The Magic Within

Chapter 4: A Fluffy Encounter

Abbie was sitting at the Gryffindor table with Harry and Ron. As Abbie paid the owl for the Daily Prophet and Pharaoh then landed in front of her. Abbie took the letter from him and Abbie said, "So what do you guys have today?"

Harry replied, "Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and flying. What about you?" "Charms, History of Magic, and Potions. But I love potions." Ron looked over at Abbie and said, "How do you love potions with Snape teaching?" Abbie said, "I don't like Snape teaching but I love the concept of it."

Abbie opened the letter from her mother and read:

Dear Abbie:

I'm so glad to hear that everything is going well at Hogwarts. I'll admit that I was about my only daughter leaving for boarding school. But in your letter you sounded so excited about at Hogwarts I knew that this was going to be the best for you to be there and learn. I'm so happy that you have already made friends. I've been reading about Hogwarts in Hogwarts a History that your friend Dana's family send me and it seems amazing. I'm so happy that the house that you are in seems like one of the best. Your brother misses you so much already as do Grandma and Grandpa and your Uncle Mason, Uncle Lucas, and Uncle Tommy. Your Aunts also miss you. Send a letter back soon Abs.

Love you lots,

Mum and Mikey

Abbie rolled up the newspaper and put it in her school bag and said, "Ready to get to class boys?" Harry said, "Yeah. We have potions first and Snape will poison us if we are late." They then headed towards the doors for the Great Hall Doors and Harry said, "What are you going to do after your classes end for today?"

Abbie looked over at Harry and said, "Wait for you guys so we can hang out like always. I got to go this way. Bye guys." Abbie walked up to the third floor and into the Charm's class room and pulled out the newspaper from that morning.

Break in at Gringotts

As Abbie started reading her friends Amy, Parker, Kristen, Steven, Emily, and Dana walked in. Dana said, "Morning Ab. Have fun with Harry and Ron this morning?" "Yeah. We're going to hang out after classes also." Dana nodded and said, "Anything interesting?" She nodded towards the Daily Prophet and Abbie replied, "Yeah. Gringotts has been broken into but the goblins insist that nothing that nothing was taken the vault had been emptied the same day. But the weird thing is that it was the day Harry went to Gringotts and Diagon Alley."

Kristen then replied, "That is weird. What day did you go to Diagon Alley?" "August 19th. The same day I found out that I was a witch."

After classes that day Abbie was sitting on the bench waiting for Harry and Ron. Ron and Harry then walked over and Ron said, "You'll never guess what happened." "What? Come on tell me I hate guessing games." Harry then said, "I'm on the Gryffindor Quidditch team as a Seeker. Professor McGonagall brought to the see the Captain and told him that she found him a secret."

They started walking into the Hogwarts and Abbie said, "Tell me exactly what happened." Harry said, "Alright you know Neville Longbottom right?" "Yeah." "Well he fell off his broom and as Madame Hooch brought him to the Hospital Wing Draco Malfoy took his remembrall and flew into the air with it. I chased him and he threw it and I caught it after a fifty foot dive and was brought to Oliver Wood."

"That's awesome Harry." Hermione Granger then walked behind them as Harry said, "How do I know I won't make a fool of myself? I mean I'm the youngest seeker in a century." Hermione then said, "You won't make a fool of yourself. It's in your blood." The three of them then turned around and looked at Hermione and she said, "Follow me."

The three of them looked at each other and followed Hermione. They saw the trophies and Hermione said, "Right there." The three of them looked and saw a shield that said James Potter Seeker. Ron then said, "Harry you told me that your father was a seeker to." "I never knew."

The four of them left and Abbie said, "Come on guys it's almost time for dinner." As they started heading towards the stairs as they started walking onto the stairs Ron said, "It's freaky she knows more about you then you do." "Who doesn't?" Abbie and Hermione then looked behind them and saw the staircase unlatch form the landing and Abbie walked up to near Harry and Ron.

As the stairs started moving Harry and Ron grabbed onto the railing and Harry said, "What's happening?" Hermione said, "The staircases change remember." As the stairs stopped moving there was a single door at the end and Harry said, "Come on." As Harry and Abbie walked towards the door Ron said, "Before the stairs case moves again."

"Maybe we just have bad luck," Abbie said as her Irish accent came out stronger than normal. As they walked through the door Ron said, "Does anybody else feel like that we aren't supposed to be here?" Abbie said, "What gave you that idea Ron? The darkness, the dust, or the general feeling of uneasiness?" Hermione then said, "Were not supposed to be here. This is the third floor it's forbidden." "Come on let's get out of here."

As the four of them turned back to the door the caretaker Argus Filtch's cat Mrs. Norris came on and Abbie said, "Come on guys run." They ran over to the door and Ron tried to open it and said, "It's locked." Abbie pulled out her wand and said, "Ron move over! Alohomora!"

The door then unlocked and the four of them walked in and Abbie shut the door behind her and Ron said, "Alohomora?" Hermione answered instead of Abbie and said, "Standard book of spells chapter 7. I've read about but never tried it before." "Me either. I'm just glad it worked." Ron said, "So this door was locked." Harry then said, "It was locked and for a good reason."

The three of them stood next to Harry and saw what he was talking about. A great big black dog with three heads that started opening their eyes looked at them. Harry, Ron, Abbie, and Hermione all screamed and left the room.

Walking on the stairs Ron said, "What do they think they're doing keeping a thing like that locked up in a school? If any dog needs exercise it's that one." Hermione then said, "You don't use your eyes do you? It was standing on a trap door so it's guarding something?" Harry and Abbie then said, "Guarding something?" Abbie then looked over at Harry and she started to laugh.

Hermione said, "That's right. Now if you three don't mind I'm going to be bed before any of come up with another clever idea that will get us killed or worse expelled!" She then marched away and started towards the Gryffindor Common Room. Ron then said, "She needs to sort out her priorities." Harry nodded and Abbie's accent came out again as she said, "You said it not me. I'm going to head back to the Hufflepuff Common Room. Try to get my nerves back form off the ceiling. See you in the morning."

Abbie then waved and walked back to the Hufflepuff Common Room and sat down on her bed and ran her hands through her hair that was left down from her braids. She then grabbed a spare piece of parchment and sat down at her desk.

Dear Mum and Mikey,

I hope that everything is okay back home tell everybody that I miss them so much and I will see them during the winter break. Even though Hogwarts has become like a 3rd home to me because the first will always be the home that we shared with Dad, but it also has danger in it but it's nothing to bad I promise. I have the best friends that I could ask for. Some from Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff but none from Slytherin. I don't think I want to be friends with people from Slytherin though. If you're a Hufflepuff they look down on you like you don't belong in this school but don't worry I won't let it get to me. It's just like Dad always said What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and I can deal with their snide comments about be. I may be a Muggleborn but I'm proud of who I am. If they were saying anything about Mikey or you they would probably get punched. I miss you so much Mum and Mikey of course. But when I'm here it's like I'm finally with the people I belong with. Maybe I'm being weird but being here changes you. Well it's getting late and I better go to bed because I had enough excitement for one day. Love you Mum.

Love Always,

Abigail Paige Carson

Abbie reread the letter a couple of times before nodding and putting it in and envelope. She then looked at her family's crest that was on the outside of her photo album and then spoke in Irish. Her father had made her learn as many languages as he could teach her before he passed away and even after he died she continued to learn the languages he taught her.

Dana then walked in and said, "That was so pretty. What language was that?" "Irish but I can speak of lot of languages but my accent always comes through." Dana laughed and said, "That's what makes you Abbie. Hey I was wondering why is your name Abigail is your Irish?" Abbie said, "Oh it's because my Great-Great-Great Grandmother her name was Abigail but she went by Gail so my Dad wanted to bring that name back into the family but my mother loved the name Abigail and always said that if she had a daughter she would name her Abigail and well you see that they did have a girl." Dana said, "That's really cool Abbie. So what were you up to today and why weren't you at dinner? I think Parker has a crush on you."

"I was with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. We accidentally went in the forbidden corridor and Filch almost caught us but he didn't. I highly doubt that about Parker we are just friends and he knows that besides 11 is to young for me to have a boyfriend. Dad would be rolling around in his grave if he thought I was interested in boys already."

Dana said, "You were a total Daddy's girl weren't you." "Yup and I'm proud of it. My father and I had a special relationship. It wasn't like a normal father and daughter relationship. We had Daddy and daughter days whenever he was home. He thought me everything that he knew about being an adventurer and gave me his love for animals. He was the one who got us our dog Aladdin. He wanted a dog to be able to protect us when he wasn't home so he found Aladdin at the pound and brought him home."

Dana then said, "Wow Abbie. You two really did have a close relationship. What about your brother are you close to him?" Abbie nodded and said, "Yeah we are a year apart be it's like we are twins considering the close relationship that we have. My brother wants to be a wizard so that he can come to Hogwarts also. Nut I would love it if he came so that we could spend even more time together."

Dana shook her head and said, "Are you going to stay her for Christmas or go home?" "I'm going to go home for Christmas and I promised that I would bring him some candy home from the Hogwarts express. What about you?" Dana replied, "I'm staying here. My parents are going to Alaska to visit my Great Aunt and I told them that I don't want to be frozen solid before second year even begins."

Abbie laughed and said, "I'm going to go get ready for bed so that because I've had a crazy day and I'm ready to just close my eyes and go to sleep." Abbie walked over to her trunk and but her books in for tomorrow and then grabbed her pajamas.

Abbie quickly got changed and then walked back into the dorm and put her wand on the table next to her bed. Pharaoh then came in and she said, "Hey there boy. Want to make a delivery for me?" Pharaoh hooted softly and Abbie said, "I knew you would." Abbie quickly tied it to his leg and said, "Have a safe trip and please wait for my mother or Mikey to reply alright?" Pharaoh hooted and then took off out of the dorm window.

Abbie then took her braids out and got into bed and closed herself off from the others and then closed her eyes and tried to fall sleep. But every time she closed her eyes she saw the giant three headed dog and heard Hermione's voice saying that the dog was guarding something. She then distinctly remembered Harry telling her and Ron about Hagrid taking something out of the vault's the day that they went to Diagon Alley.

Abbie sat straight up and thought, I bet that's were that package went. That's what the dog is guarding the package that Hagrid took out of the vault and I bet the person who tried to steal it is going to try again.

Abbie then laid her head down again and played with the charm bracelet her father got her from Egypt and slowly fell asleep.
