Don't ask where it came from, but it came and I haven't been able to stop it...er...

Enjoy

"So…your telling us, that Hogwarts you told us about is real, and not only that but, you want Virginia and I to attend" Alaska said from he seat in Arthur's office.

"Yes." Arthur said, "I want you two, Aleksandra Madeline Braginsky-Williams and Virginia Alice Kirkland-Jones to attend Hogwarts."

"We're not eleven…" Virginia said

"But I can tutor you until you've reached the fifth year level, Dumbledore has also seen fit to give the job of Professor of History of Magic to a…uh…living being, and asked me." Arthur said, "So I will be there to keep an eye on you."

"But then I'll see Papa and Maman even less." Aleksandra argued adjusting the scarf that was around her neck, a present form her Papa.

"I…will inform Russia and…Canada of when Hogsmead trips are and they can visit you then." Arthur said

"And Alfred won't have to know of this?" Aleksandra asked.

"He'll know of the trips so he can see Virginia." Arthur said, "But if he has issues with Russia being there, I will tell him he has no say over who goes where on my land."

"Fair deal." Aleksandra nodded, "I'm in."

Virginia laughed, "I bet you'll be put in Slytherin."

"and I doubt you'll be placed in Gryffindor." Aleksandra shot back.

~0o0~

And so, we end up in Diagon Ally, with Arthur, the two states and one talking Alaskan Malamute pup.

"Why are we here again?" Kolov asked

"Because we need to get supplies for our year at Hogwarts." Aleksandra said.

"Fun…" Kolov's voice was heavy with sarcasm, "I didn't know they allowed dogs at Hogwarts too now."

"It's not regulation, but…" Arthur said, "The headmaster is making an exception just like he did for…Matthew before."

"Oh, look, Olivander's." Aleksandra said before walking off to the shop.

Virginia shook her head and followed her cousin into the shop.

"Oh!" Olivander said, "Mister Kirkland, how nice to see you. And who might these two young ladies be?"

"My daughter and niece." Arthur said gesturing to Virginia and Alaska respectively.

"Ah…so who's going first?" Olivander asked.

"I will…" Aleksandra said before stepping forward.

"Hold out your wand hand." Olivander said. Aleksandra held out her right hand and Olivander started taking measurements. He pulled out a seemingly random box and handed it to Aleksandra, but took it away almost as soon as she opened the box. "No, no…" He pulled out another box and this time let Aleksandra flick it, causing boxes to fly off the shelves. "No." Olivander took the wand from Aleksandra quickly. The process repeated a few times before Olivander stopped for a moment, clearly thinking, before he went into the back. He came back carrying a lavender box. He handed it to Aleksandra, who opened it. She picked it up and flicked the wand, this time, instead of destruction there was a shower of blue and gold sparks.

"Interesting…" Olivander said. "ten inches, Maple, with a dragon heart string. Good for curses" He stroked his beard, "The interesting thing is the dragon the string came from…"

"Really?" Aleksandra asked, truly just glad he had a wand for her.

"Yes, it was a rare breed, the locals called it Zimniĭ Drakona." Olivander said, "I've never been able to get this wand to agree with anyone though…"

Aleksandra just nodded, internally laughing at how uncreative her Papa's people could be. Winter Dragon…really Papa? You'd think the people who made the Kremlin would be more creative. Aleksandra looked at Kolov, who was laughing.

"It could just be a little joke they played." Kolov said in Russian. Aleksandra shrugged and let Virginia get in front of her.

The process was similar to the one Aleksandra went through, though…it took less than thirty tries…

"Nine inches, Yew, with a phoenix tail feather. Good for charms." Olivander said.

"Thank you, Mr. Olivander." Arthur said, "Now we have to get their books."

"And robes." Aleksandra sighed.

"And me an owl." Virginia stated.

"Yes…" Arthur sighed.

~0o0~

They got their books and robes quickly, even though Aleksandra had tricked Arthur out of extra books.

"And I'm the nerd?" Virginia scoffed.

"Yes, you are." Aleksandra

"I'm not the one buying books about something I was there to see." Virginia said.

"No Virginia, you're not." Arthur said, "and you won't be getting an owl if you start a fight."

With that, Virginia shut up.

Aleksandra decided to split up with the other two when they went to get Virginia's owl. Instead she choose to wander into another bookshop with some money she got from Arthur. While looking around, she ran into a platinum blonde boy holding a book that appeared to be in Cyrillic.

"Sorry, but may I see that book." She said nicely, a smile forming on her face. The boy looked at her oddly.

"Sure, doubt you'll be able to read it though." He scoffed.

"Oh?" she said taking the book from him. "It's only modern Cyrillic." She glanced over the pages, "In Russian even…" She turned to Kolov, "What do you think Kolov? Will I be able to read it in Papa's tongue?"

"The boy doesn't know who you are…" Kolov said in Russian

"No…he does not." Aleksandra smiled at the dog.

"It talks." The boy said.

"Da, he does. His name is Kolov, mine is Aleksandra." Aleksandra said, "You're what…fifteen? Do you go to Hogwarts?"

"Yeah, Draco Malfoy." He said.

"Interesting," Aleksandra said looking closely at the boy, "You…almost look like…" She smirked and laughed, "This will be fun, da?"

Draco just looked at the girl oddly.

"Draco." Another platinum blond called out, walking towards the pair.

"Aleksandra" Arthur yelled as he walked up to the girl.

"Kirkland." The man who Aleksandra assumed to be Draco's father said.

"Malfoy." Arthur greeted.

"Who might this…" The man looked at Aleksandra, "Girl be?"

"Aleksandra Madeline Braginsky-Williams" Aleksandra said, "Please don't direct questions about me to my uncle."

"Aleksandra." Arthur warned.

"Arthur, pay attention to little Virginia." Aleksandra said before walking off.

"She's a…" Malfoy paused, "Pleasant girl."

"She acts like her father too much for my liking…" Virginia scoffed.

"and who are you?" Malfoy asked

"Virginia Alice Kirkland-Jones" Virginia said.

"Are these two joining the school?" Malfoy stated more than asked.

"Yes, they're joining because I think it's about time they learn properly." Arthur said, "Now we must be going."

~0o0~

"It's a week before term…" Virginia said.

"You're going to be sorted privately as to not bring attention to you." Arthur explained.

Aleksandra was just sitting in the corner of the room reading the Cyrillic book she took from Draco.

"That one will be useful, yes?" Kolov pointed to a spell and asked Aleksandra, who nodded.

"Aleksandra, get your trunk." Arthur said. The girl sighed and got up, grabbing the purple trunk. It used to be black, but Aleksandra took the liberty of changing it. Now it was violet with three flags on the top. The Russian, Canadian and the Alaskan flag were painted on in that order. Aleksandra, after being told they were going to floo to Hogwarts, oriented her self so she could grip her trunk, she had given Kolov and her book to Arthur. She threw the powder into the fireplace and said "Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts", sending her into a twirling blur until she stumbled out of the fireplace in the Headmaster's office.

"Hate floo…" She muttered as she landed in a chair and started coughing. Virginia soon came in as well and instead of the ungraceful entrance of Aleksandra, she stepped calmly out of the fireplace.

"You look like you were just ran over." Virginia said with a chuckle.

"The only thing that I've gone through like that was your poor summoning." Aleksandra scoffed before being thrown into a coughing fit, "Let's just say there's less snow and more soot with floo."

Arthur then stepped into the room, and he, instead of addressing the two girls, turned to the headmaster.

"Ah…Mister Kirkland, I believe these are the two girls you wish to have attend this school." The headmaster said with a gestation towards the girls, one of which was currently going through a book with a dog on her lap and the other was trying to read over the first's shoulder. The girl with the dog was just smirking and speaking to the dog in Russian.

"Yes, Aleksandra and Virginia, come here." Arthur said to the girls, who sighed and walked over.

"Well that was an amusing game." Aleksandra said, "Watching an English-speaker try to read Cyrillic, so fun."

"That is considered an alphabet?" Virginia asked, and was ignored in favor of Aleksandra laughing.

"You two, this is Professor Dumbledor." Arthur said, "He is Hogwarts headmaster."

"Privet." Aleksandra said with a wave.

Virginia on the other hand…"It's a pleasure to meet you Professor." Aleksandra scoffed at how…suck upish that sounded.

"Welcome you two," The professor smiled, "Now then, please introduce your selves."

"Aleksandra Madeline Braginsky-Williams" Aleksandra said

"Virginia Alice Kirkland-Jones." Virginia stated.

"Miss Braginsky-Williams first then." Dumbledor said, pulling a hat down from a shelf and placing it on Aleksandra's head.

Interesting mind…clever and determined, and loyal to those you think deserve it. The hat muttered in her ear

Interesting hat, speaks fluent Russian. Was Aleksandra's reply.

I find that many foreign students never start thinking in English. You have a rather bright mind. The hat explained

Studies show that multiple languages increase intelligence. Aleksandra stated That might explain why Al is such a dunce. She added more to herself then the hat.

The hat laughed. I suppose so. Ravenclaw maybe but, you aren't afraid to hurt others to get what you want. Proven by your little 'Plan X'.

So you know?

I knew your…mother. He was put in Hufflepuff…but you…I think…

"Slytherin." The hat said. Dumbledor plucked the hat off her head and she went to her dog and book. It wasn't long before she heard a "Gryffindor." Come from the hat.

"So what did you say last month? How you thought I wouldn't make it into Gryffindor?" Virginia said,

"Just proves how much like Al you are." Aleksandra scoffed

"And there are so many things to prove you're just like Ivan." Virginia shot back.

"To use one of Maman's lines." Aleksandra said, "And just how many languages do you speak?"

"And that relates…how?" Virginia asked

"You two, go to your rooms and unpack." Arthur said.

"Da svedania." Aleksandra said before leaving the room. She quickly walked back in, "Uh…where's the Slytherin common room?"

Dumbledor smiled, "I can call the heads of house to direct you there."

"Please." Aleksandra said. The dog at her side just shook his head.

and so I've started an insane adventure.=]
