I do not own Harry Potter, just having fun with the characters.
Over the coming days there was something great to happen before either start school. Dudley and Nicole would be taking their Judo black belt tests which has been their dream for a long time now. Dudley and Nicole have been studying non stop even though the two 90 them are neck and neck for Sensei Han ' s best students.
on the day of the test, Dudley and Nicole were dropped off in their blue gis. Nicole had her chocolates red hair tied back and wearing her lucky hair ribbon, like she needs it anyways. There is so much material to cover and Nicole knew she was going to have to train by herself in school if she wants to advance in her black belt training. The ultimate goal is to make it to red belt but black belt is a very big deal.
White, yellow, and orange material went by in what seems like memories long ago. This all became second nature. Green and blue belt material was a little bit more challenging but nothing that could not be handled. Brown belt you had to think because both knew if you blow a black belt test with Sensei Han, it is on the brown belt material. Once you get through that you are in the clear for now.
Out of the sixteen, twelve passed. The four who did not pass are the slackers of the class who may have to take the test multiple times. The end of the test resulted in situps and pushups. Petunia and Vernon were watching from the upper deck that you can see in the dojo. The kids were removing their brown belts who passed and were given their black belts to put on. Everyone was cheering for them because they have been working so hard and so long for this day to come.
For Nicole, she had started Judo first as a way to help with confidence and to help with coordination, a problem with her Asperger's. Sensei Han became a mentor and more like an uncle. He worked very hard with her over the years where you barely noticed the coordination problem.
Petunia and Vernon had cameras ready to go. "You two smile, you knew we are going to be taken pictures of today." Nicole and Dudley smiled and soon it was over. Everyone needed to go home because it is so tiring.
Once they were out in the car park, Petunia smiled "If you two are up to it when we get home, clean up and we will go into London to eat at the Hard Rock Café. You earned it." When the faces beamed up, Petunia and Vernon had their answer. At home, the rules are judo bags in the garage because they can smell and you are to bring your gi into the laundry room.
Dinner was all smiles and the last night of true fun before the kids head off to their new schools. What Dudley and Nicole did not know is they did have belt display racks for them. Hopefully they can put the black belt on the rack someday and there'd and white one too. That is something g few do in a lifetime when they do not give up.
Petunia had sent a three month supply of all of Nicole ' s medication to the school nurse with instructions. Nicole was to have medication with her on the train and hand it over to her head of house at night. A note would be there so she would not get into trouble.
For the train ride, Nicole had comfortable clothing on for the long trip and had some books on chemistry with her. Someone was good to her when she found a compartment by herself. Nicole did have the sense of mind to pull her bangs out of her signature purple headband. No one needs to see the scar, she just Nicole.
Life was not so good when a red headed pest sat down " You are Nicole Potter, you and I will be together in Gryffindor, I just know it."
Nicole knew what to expect "No one knows where they are truly going until the sorting hat decides."
Ron wanted to talk to her and make the trip more enjoyable. Severus Snape shunned his family away from her in the alley. "Why do you want to be reading that?"
Nicole flat toned "I find the subject of chemistry fascinating with all that you can do with it, nothing is more exciting as chemistry."
Ron knew what chemistry is and he saw a snake in the making "I was hoping you would not turn into being one of those snakes but you are one in the making. I came here to meet a friend that I was told to make. I found a freak instead of liom.."
The freak part gets old rather fast. Before Ron could cause more problems, Draco found his cousin. Draco had learned about Nicole having asperger's and he knew to keep his bloody mouth shut or risk the wrath of his parents and godfather. He also knew his parents did seek custody of Nicole since the Blacks now had ties with the Potter family. Nicole would have grown up being his sister.
"Weasel, go sit with your others. Like the Gryffindorks,."
Ron had the wind taken out of him and left.
"Nicole, you should not be talking with the likes of the Weaselys, they are bad news. The family of his other, has a blood feud with the Potters that has been around for a century.
Now let me introduce you to my friends. They are Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, Tracey,Goyle and Crabbe."
This did make Nicole nervous but sat back and was nice about it. Little did she know that this is her first shot of making friends outside of the dojo. They would find out about the Asperger's later on, but for right now it is Nicole ' s secret which would be on a need to know basis. Most people do not need to know.
AN/ I do want something that Nicole loves outside of anything academic. Secondly, guess where she is going and it is for her own good. Nicole will soon learn that one house she had been thinking of which is not Gryffindor would be the best place.
Name the House she goes to
The hat will tell Nicole that "You are not right for Gryffindor and you take after your grandmother...You do not belong in...but you do belong in..."
