A/N: Hello! Here's chapter 3 of Into Another World! Well, I got nothing to say other than enjoy :) Right then, I forgot to add something here so I will now do it. I will do sometimes following the book and sometimes will follow the movies while also adding my twists and turns to make the story more interesting. So, here we go!
Chapter 3: To Hogwarts, we go!
"Lumos!"
A bright light filled the room, lighting up the place. The moment it began, it faded away.
"Lumos!"
The bright light shone intensely once more before it vanished yet again.
"Lumos!" the voice said, a bit loud. It took this chance to read over a text that was written in the book. And like so many times before, the light disappeared leaving the person to be in the dark again.
I gave out an exaggerated sigh, glaring at the tip of my wand as if it was its own fault for not having the light to be brighter. And well, to stay long too.
"Meow."
My cat purred as I scratched it behind the ears. I decided to call her Astra.
I sighed once again then closed Hogwarts, A History as I was done with it today. Once the book was away, I plopped myself on the bed (spread out) and just simply gazed at the ceiling of the bed.
Whenever I go to bed, I actually don't go to sleep right away. I would always just lay there…just to think about everything. But now since I'm here…this time, it's different. Millions of questions started to swarm around my head. Most of them were around the base of:
"Why am I here? What is my purpose?"
But the one that struck me the most was…
"Will I ever get home?"
The minute my head thought about that question, a lump was in my throat and I was unable to wash it away. My parents…my annoying brother…Do they even know that I have gone missing?
I turned to the side while using one of my arms as a pillow and pulled my legs close to my chest. The more I thought about these things, the more depressed I get and that was why, a small tear ran down my cheek.
I'm in Harry Potter World now. I know what happened in these books/movies. But what is my purpose is still unknown but if anything, I have a feeling that Voldemort might come after me…
I groaned, trying to ignore the sunlight that was entering through my room.
"Ugh, can you just go away please?" I mumbled, trying to flash out the light.
Why, yes I'm a vampire. How did you now know?
A sudden loud noise rang throughout my room, causing me to push myself up rather quickly. It was so fast that I had managed to grab my bed sheets then rolled off my bed which eventually made me to fall off my bed.
I groaned, rubbing my sore behind. Groggily, my hand started to touch almost every item that was in its path before I had finally reached the alarm clock.
All of a sudden, there was a very loud shriek that made my cat to hiss.
"I'm gonna be late!" I shrieked, frantically trying to get my stuff together in my trunk.
Once the trunk was done, I hurriedly tugged on my jeans while at the same time, I was brushing my teeth. If you must know, I was hopping across the room.
"No thanks Tom. I'm in a hurry!" I said to Tom who was about ask me something…
The moment I flung the door that belonged to the Leaky Cauldron, I paused as I had finally realized that I had no transportation to reach Kings Cross. Turning around, I asked Tom who was looking at me.
"Hey um…you don't have any other way of going to Kings Cross…do you?"
A vomit was heard followed by a cough.
Never ever go on the Knight Bus. That driver drives horrible.
Once the last puking sound was done, I wiped my mouth with my sleeve before I continued my way through the Kings Cross. Since I knew I where to go (after watching Harry Potter movies millions of times), I automatically went to the path that would lead me to platform 9 3/4. Honestly, I was actually excited.
Nervous? Yes. But excited? Hell yeah!
However, this also made me to wonder what House I will be in. Slytherin? Gryffindor?
To be honest, I wouldn't mind about being in—
"Oh look what we have here! It's the girl that has no sense of direction." a voice said rather cheerfully though it made me to growl.
"You know I'm surprised that you didn't got yourself lost in Kings Cross, Ekstom."
"Shut it, Malfoy." I grunted, pushing my trolley forward so I get away from him.
However, that didn't seem to work…
The damn brat had to follow me around.
"So…which House do you think you will be in?" Malfoy asked, unaware (or maybe he was aware but he was just doing this for fun) that he was annoying me.
"I don't know." I said through gritted teeth as I tried to not to punch him.
If anything, that would be in Hermione's department.
"Well I'm going to be in Slytherin. You see, my whole family has been in Slytherin."
"Well then…you would fit right in." I stated.
We handed our stuff to the person who was responsible to take the things and stuff it in the train.
"So I guess this is where we depart. Don't get lost, lost girl." Malfoy responded as he had finally went away from me.
I mentally cheered when he walked away. After the little talk I had with Malfoy, I continued to walk down the hallway to search for an empty compartment only to find that there was none except for the fact that there was a compartment that contained two boys. One of them was holding something in its hand.
I flung the door open, slightly startling the boys. I took this moment to gaze the compartment. It was full of candies of which Harry had brought but they stopped munching on them the second I opened the door.
"Do you mind? Everywhere else is full." I explained.
The two shook their heads.
"Oh I know you. We met at Diagon Alley." the jet black haired boy said.
I smiled. "Hello Harry." I turned to face the red-head though I pretended that I didn't know him since I asked:
"And you are?"
"Ron Weasley."
I smiled a bit. "Pleasure."
"By the way," Harry began. "You know my name but I never got yours."
I froze a bit while cursing in my head of what to say next. Should I stick to my lie of which I had told to Malfoy?
"I—"
The door flung open again, only to reveal a very bushy haired girl who seemed to be annoyed at something.
"Have you seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost one." the girl said.
"No." Harry and I answered while Ron shook his head.
"Oh? Are you doing magic? Well let's see then." The brown haired said.
Ron cleared his throat. "Sunshine, daises, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"
I heard a small zap which only knocked the box out of Scabber's muzzle. The rat squeaked with surprise when the box was knocked away.
Ron only shrugged.
"Are you sure that's a real spell?" said the girl.
I just merely closed my eyes and started to recall every line of what Hermione had said.
"Well, it's not very good, is it? I've tried a few simple spells just for practice and they all worked for me. For example…" Hermione goes over and sits across from Harry. She points her hand at his glasses, making Harry to go tense. "Oculus Reparo."
There was a noise that sounded like a snap though the noseband (that got battered from before) was now fixed. Harry, who was amazed, took them off to examine them.
"That's better, isn't it? Holy Cricket, you're Harry Potter!" she exclaimed. "I'm Hermione Granger…and you are…?"
Ron, who had his mouth full of candies, answered. "Ron Weasley."
I mentally slapped myself at his…introductions.
"Pleasure." though Hermione's voice did not held any "pleasure".
"And you are?"
I finally realized that all eyes were on me as if they were waiting for my name.
"Um…Alex." I said, causing Hermione to nod.
"Nice to meet you. Anyways, you three better change into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." she got up to leave the compartment only to come back to look at Ron.
"You've got dirt, on your nose, by the way. Did you know? Just there." she pointed at one of the sides of her nose to show Ron who scratched his nose with embarrassment.
By the time we had reached our final destination, I was being jittery all the way which made the two boys to be worried. It was dark, of course and the train blew its whistle as it pulled into an outdoor station.
''Are you alright?" Harry asked, worried.
"Why of course, I am! Why wouldn't I be?" I squealed though it only increased Harry's worries.
"Right, then! First years! This way, please! Come on, now don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!"
The loud booming voice filled through the place. Harry, Ron and I walked towards the voice though the more we got closer to it, we could see the figure clearer. However, it is not even hard to miss a giant…
"Hello, Harry."
"Hey Hagrid."
"Whoa!" Ron exclaimed, gaping at the giant.
Once everyone joined us, we walked towards a lake that held the boats. But, the moment Hogwarts was in sight, everyone went in awe. Heck, even I was. The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake. Sitting on a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.
"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called out. Harry, Ron, Hermione and I all followed into a boat.
When everyone got settled, Hagrid shouted.
"Right then—FORWARD!"
The many boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake which was smooth. I was still in awe at the shining castle.
It was hard to believe that this castle was nearly destroyed in the final battle.
You know, whenever I get the chance to see or meet Voldemort, I would have to thank him for that…
"Wicked." Ron said, gazing at the humongous castle. I only grinned, silently agreeing with him.
After the boat ride was over, I started to shiver due to the cold that lingered in the air.
"Even if that was fun, it was cold." I shivered, making Harry to smirk.
We continued to walk up the many flight of stone steps until we reached our destination. We stopped to see a tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes that stood at the entrance. She had a very stern face, causing some people to think that she was a person to not be crossed.
After a short silence, the witch replied.
"Welcome to Hogwarts."
