YAY!!! I finished the second chapter... :) I really did my best on this chapter...sorry if i get some of the facts wrong...like the age limit for the triwizard tournament...
hehe Mia reunites with Harry...and meets a little someone...:D can you guess?
:P well okay here you go enjoy,
thank you to everyone who reviewed, this chapter is dedicated to you. :)
"Are you sure you MUST leave?"Emily asked waving her arms exasperatingly as she paced about the dormitory.
"Yes." Mia chuckled at her friends antics.
"But how will I survive without you? Who will protect me from 'HER'?Oh, Mia Please reconsider." Emily begged shuddering at the thought of having to spend the whole year alone to deal with her worst nightmare...Audry Degroote, who also happened to be one of her roommates.
Mia took a break from packing her belongings and plopped down on her bed.
"I don't want to leave you or Danielle..."She began her well memorized speech.
"Oh god! Danielle doesn't know, what will she say?What will she do?" Emily interrupted Mia's melodramatic speech about how she really didn't want to go but had to.
Emily suddenly giggled at the thought of seeing her blond friend faint from horror at the thought of Mia not being here for a whole year.
Mia twirled her french braid in her hand, her mind drifting away from her friends ranting.
Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived and the boy who had been her friend all those years ago. Did he still remember her? Mia had discovered an article about a boy names Harry Potter in her first year. She soon after connected the famous prodigy with her old friend from kindergarten. She had been too scared to write to him by owl, thinking it would be too strange and awkward. Well now, she would get the chance to meet him again!
"WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE? I'M GOING TO TEAR HER LIMB FROM LIMB!" Shrieks came from the commonroom down below them, snapping Mia out of her thoughts.
"Ah, that must be Danielle." Emily said steadily.
"How can you say that so calm, did you hear what she was saying.." Mia said aghast, silently hoping that the angry Danielle wouldn't think of looking in her dorm for her.
To Mia's horror the dorm door burst open, to reveal a disgruntled Danielle.
"THERE YOU ARE!" She yelled, pointing a finger at her accusingly.
"Hey." Squeaked Mia, in a high-pitched tone.
"Your leaving?" Danielle asked as if she was checking that she had in fact received the death penalty for a crime she had committed.
"Yes..." Mia started.
Before she could continue Danielle had pulled her into a hug.
"So, you really, do have to go?Me threatening you won't change your mind?" She asked sniffing back her tears.
Mia shook her head 'no'.
Her friends could get very dramatic at times.
"Fine, but just so you know I'm not happy about it!" Danielle sniffed.
"Thanks, for understanding."
"But don't think your off the hook. You'll be writing me letters everyday!" Danielle ordered.
"Yes, sir." Mia, responded back giving her friend a salute.
"Hey! What about me? Do I get letters very day?" Emily asked, not wanting to get left out as she pounced onto Mia's bed.
"Sure, but only if you guys promise to write me back too."
Both nodded and they spent the rest of the morning chatting...
"How could be so brave as to come out in public looking like that?"
Danielle and Mia burst into fits of laughter as Emily was doing an impersonation of Audrey, she could copy her pompous accent perfectly.
"What are you laughing at?" Emily continued trying to hold her serious expression that seemed to be glued on to Audrey's own face.
At that very moment, Audrey choose to make her entrance.
"What are you doing?" She questioned, the girls burst into laughter, she was so hilarious.
"I don't see what is so funny!" She huffed angrily in her trademark snobbish voice.
When Audrey noticed Mia, she grinned. "Aren't you supposed to be in the carriage now? Your leaving for Hogwarts aren't you?"
Mia, stopped laughing and off the on the floor. She glanced at the clock 11:59.
"Oh no, we're leaving in ONE MINUTE!." She grabbed her suitcase and bursted out through the door, before doubling back and saying goodbye to her friends.
She rushed down the stairway knocking down a few students as she made her way to the entrance of the Beauxbaxton castle.
When she reached the entrance, she spotted Madame Maxime waiting , she looked slightly annoyed.
"I'm so sorry it won't happen again, I lost track of time." Mia managed to gasp.
"I will let it go this time but make sure it doesn't happen again, yes?"
Mia nodded, making a mental note to herself to buy a pocket-watch.
Mia, stepped into the carriage, followed by Madame Maxime who closed the carriage door behind her.
She, quickly found a seat in the enlarged carriage beside one of the other 15 girls. Only five out of the ten had come that couldn't participate in the tournament. They had been chosen randomly.
"Okay, girls say goodbye to the Beauxbaxtons, we're off to Hogwarts." Madame Maxime's voice echoed through the carriage proving that this was in fact no ordinary carriage, but a magically enhance one.
Mia, looked out the window quietly bidding farewell to the white glowing castle that enclosed inside it four years of wonderful memories.
-Hogwarts-
"This year Hogwarts will be playing host to a legendary event." Dumbledore paused for dramatic effect. "THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!"
Everyone was silent in the great hall. Some gasped in surprised and amazement while others were too stunned to react and others were baffled having never heard of a triwizard tournament.
"During which time one student from every school will be chosen to represent their school magical talent in a series of three tasks. Eternal glory awaits the student who wins the tournament. But be warned the tournament is not to be taken lightly, the tasks are highly dangerous and life-threatening. Thus, the ministry of magic have deemed a new law no students under the age of 17." Dumbledore's voice boomed loudly filling every nook and cranny of the silent great hall.
"Now let us welcome, the girls from beauxbaxtons academy, and their headmistress Madame Maxime." He continued, and beckoned the doors to be open.
Harry watched as the Beauxbaxtons girls paraded in, with a little display of magical talents, although most of the boys were not staring at the magic but at the tight little blue outfits that they wore, showing off their trim figures. Especially Ron beside him, who was staring at them with his mouth wide open, earning him an elbow in the stomach from Hermione.
A blush crept to Harry's cheeks as one of them, a brunette with honey colored eyes smiled and winked at him.
Soon after the boys from Drumstrang made their entrance, but Harry wasn't paying much attention he was watching the girl who was now seated at the Ravenclaw table. Harry had the feeling that he should know who she is.
Mia, had gotten a glimpse of Harry as she made her entrance, she had winked at him! She didn't know what possessed her to do that. She smoothed her blue uniform trying to fix the invisible wrinkles in it. She took off her hat. Mia thought it was one of the most silly looking things she had ever seen. Mia listened as the headmaster of Hogwarts droned on. Her thoughts were occupied with ways she could catch Harry alone to get a chance to speak with him.
From the back of her mind she heard the headmaster say. "Now let the feast begin."
It startled her when food immediately appeared in front of her making her jump back slightly. A ravenclaw girl in front of her explained that it was just magic. Mia forced back the urge to roll her eyes, obviously it was magic.
"So, what do you think of Hogwarts?" A girl beside her asked, Gabriella or something was her name.
"It's very welcoming and grand. Kind of like Beauxbaxtons."Mia doted on the magnificent castle especially the ceiling that was probably magiced to look like the night sky..
Gabriella agreed. The rest of the evening was silent for Mia.
She was too preoccupied with her thoughts to care about the conversation going on around her.
Mia watched as Harry, got up and left the great hall. Now was her chance.
She excused herself, saying she had to use the washroom and followed Harry out of the great hall.
Mia followed behind him for a while, he seemed immersed in his thoughts. She was trying to work up the courage to say something. Finding her mouth uncooperative she tapped his shoulder instead. Unfortunately she had miscalculated, the distance between them. So when he spun around his hand/arm came crashing into her nose.
"OWw."She screamed, grasping her now bleeding nose with her hand. The stinging pain caused her eyes to water.
"I"M SO SORRY." Harry cried, noticing it was the girl from before he stood there, unsure of what to do.
"Are you okay?" He asked awkwardly he cringed as he noticed the amount of blood flowing out of her nose. Why was he did he have to act like a complete dork in front of girls, especially the pretty ones.
"Its okay, nothing a nose job couldn't fix." Mia joked, wincing as the movement caused the pain to increase a thousandfold.
Harry chuckled nervously.
"Umm, I'll take you to the hospital wing." Harry offered.
"No that's okay..." Mia started her hand was now covered in blood. She hadn't realized she was hurt this bad.
"Actually I think that would be...great." She whispered horsely.
Harry nodded, trying to help her up the steps. Seeing as she was wobbling, he placed his hand around her waist.
"What are you doing?" She mumbled still holding on to her nose.
"Helping you stay balanced. Don't want you falling."
There was an awkward pause but she didn't say anything else.
Eventually they had made it to the hosiptal wing, neither of them had said a word to each other.
Madame Pomfrey quickly fixed up her nose and got rid of the stains that the blood had left on her uniform.
"Tsktsk, you have to be more careful dear." Madame Pomfrey scolded Mia.
She nodded. "Thanks for fixing me up."
"Think nothing of it dear, now you two run along, before your missed."
Once outside the hospital wing, harry offered to escort her back to the great hall so she wouldn't get lost.
"Thank you. Umm, Harry do you remember...well...see I once..." Mia blushed, she had to blurt it out once and for all, she now had Harry's full attention."Iknewuouoncesince preschoolactuallybutImovedawayandweusedtobebestfriendsandmynameisMiaRivers."
Mia,took a deep breath, judging by his confused experession he had no idea what she had just said.
"Sorry." She said apoglically."But I don't know if your remember but I knew you when you went to preschool and then elementary school. My names Mia Rivers."
Mia watched as Harry blinked once and then again.
"Mia?" He looked at her as if he had seen a ghost. "The Mia, that..."
"You played make-believe with, read drew dragons, and escaped your rude cousin Dudley. Then moved away and continuously sent you letters." Mia finished for him.
He stared at her stunned.
"Your a witch!?!" He stated amazed. "Wow, this is incredible and you knew about me all along, why didn't you owl me?"
Mia blushed. "I was umm...well I didn't know what to say."
"This is surreal."
"Yeah, I know." Mia smiled.
Harry suddenly pulled her into a tight hug, choking the air out of her lungs.
"Umm, Harry...Your choking me."
"Oh sorry." Harry let her go, and Mia gasped for breath, but managed a smile.
"Now, mister lets get a crackin, we have lots to catch up on." Mia joked.
"We sure do. Sorry about your nose. What a way to meet an old friend." Harry said embarressed.
Mia had to agree with him there.
The two made their way back to the great hall, talking the whole way. The awkwardness from before disappeared and they were talking like old chaps.
-A few days later-
" So how did you and Harry meet again?" Ron asked for the umpteenth time that same day.
Mia glared. "I'm not retelling you the story. My tongues been at it for the past three days, it needs its rest. I know Harry told me that you were a bit thick headed but this is too much even for me to handle."
Ron faked a hurt expression. "Aww, Mia that hurt."
Mia smiled. "Good."
Ron waved goodbye as he made his way out of the commonroom, murmuring something about getting food.
"Hey, Hermione I was wondering would where is Harry?" Mia asked, turning her attention to the bushy haired girl that was one of Harry's best friends. Harry had introduced them, and they all soon became friends. Now they were sitting in the gryffindor commonroom together, looking for ways to pass the time.
"Don't know, I think he went down to see hows putting their names in the cup." Hermione responded not looking up from the current book she was engrossed in.
"Thanks, you want to come with me?"
"Umm..not right now sorry its just I have to catch up on my charms homework." Hermione looked up giving her a "I'm sorry" look.
"Its okay, I'll go look for him myself."
She walked out of the common room, and walked through the corridors. Soon, Mia forgot how to get...well anywhere.
Just great she thought to herself. I'll probably be walking around the castle for ages and still never find my way back.Why aren't there any people walking around the hallways?
Just then, She came to another corridor, she could keep going on straight or follow take a left. As she stood there contemplating her decision, she heard whispers coming from the hallway on her left. Deciding to find the people talking so they could tell her how to get to the great hall. Unless of course they were poor lost souls like herself.
As she walked she began to make out two people at the end of the corridor. One had unmistakable red hair.
'It has to be Ron'. Mia thought.
As she got closer she called out to him. "Hey Ron, can you help me? I'm lost."
Mia watched mortified as the red head turned around. That was most definately not Ron.
She eeped.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were..someone else." Mia explained, she felt her face grow bright red from embaressment.
"Never heard that one before." The red head said jokingly to his friend beside him.
"My name is, George, George Weasly master of Mischief and Pranks." He introduced himself taking a sweeping bow. "And how can I can I help you my lady?"
Mia grinned. " Oh so I see I'm also hard of hearing as well as hopelessly lost, for I didn't hear chivirlious knight as you introduced yourself. My name is Mia Rivers. Umm...and if you could be so kind as to show me where the great hall is, I'd appreciate it."
George smiled back. "Ahh the lady has a sense of humour. Very well, I shall show you to the Great hall, I was heading there myself."
Mia nodded in thanks.
"I'll give you the payment later, okay Lee." He murmured to Lee, before turning around and offering his hand to Mia, which she took happily he led her away.
As they walked down the hallway, Mia's curiousity grew.
"So what exactly is the payment for if you don't mind me asking?" Mia probed.
"This." George held out two small vials filled with a potion.
"Its an aging potion."He read her mind.
"Oh."
Before Mia could question him further, he turned the conversation away from the potions and to her.
"So your from Beauxbaxtons?" He eyed her uniform appraisingly.
Mia never felt so uncomfortable in her uniform but under George's intense gaze she would've loved it if the uniform wasn't so tight!
"Yep."
"Interesting, so what brings you to Hogwarts. You don't look old enough to be enrolling in the tournament."
"Spectator." Mia explained.
"Ah so, how is it that you knew my brother?"George questioned her.
"Ron is your brother?I mean i do see the similarities, I didn't know he had siblings."
And so the conversation carried on, until they reached the great hall.
"FRED! OVER HERE." George waved over at an identical version of himself.
"That's my twin, Fred." He explained grinning at Mia's baffled expression.
"Oh there's Harry. Umm..I'll see you later. Bye and thanks." Mia waved at George as she spotted Harry in the distance.
Finally, she had found him. Suddenly she bumped into something hard.
"Watch it!" came a growling voice, that didn't sound the least bit friendly.
Mia looked up and saw...
haha...I left a little cliffy...can anyone guess who it is?
So...how do you like it? was George okay and same with Harry...i'm trying to keep them in character as best as I can. please remember to review... it would mean a lot to me to know what you think of it...and if you do I'll give you a virtual COOKIE!!! lol so okay hope you enjoyed...
