Chapter One

Warnings: Swearing?

Note: So, a little backstory, this series is based after my DR, but I failed to shift, so I thought I'd just turn it into a fic lol. Also, I wrote Hogwarts as if it's a highschool/university as opposed to a middle school/high school. So, 1st year is age 16, 2nd is 17, 6th is 21, etc. This combines multiple timelines and makes no sense canonically so don't fact check me lol

The constant rumble of the tracks shakes a train car, bouncing a young woman in her seat on a particularly cold September morning. Her head taps against the glass window, as she tries her best to ignore it and the constant chatter around her. She adjusts her bag, so her temple knocks into that instead, leaning into it with a tired grumble as she slips back into a just barely more comfortable sleep.

"How could you possibly be sleeping now? Have you not been thinking about this moment for years?"

With a groan, she leans up to face her friend, Jewel, who looks at her with a confused look. "Maybe because we've been up for the past 3 days talking about it."

Celia buds in. "Let her sleep. She'll need it." She says with a particularly knowing giggle,

"Especially if the first person you're introducing her to is him." Penelope giggles as well, nudging Jewel on the arm, who guiltily smiles in return.

Jewel had told the young girl lots about her Hogwarts friends, but she had yet to meet most of them. She was introduced to Penelope and Celia only a few days back, when she first arrived in London. Jewel's father was kind enough to let her stay at their manor for the few days leading up to their 7th year.

While the trio pester and tease each other, the girl sneaks back into her dream world, slipping as peacefully back into sleep as the train tracks will allow her to.

"We're here, Twila! Get up!"

Damn. That was quick. She thinks to herself.

Her bag drops from being against the window to sitting in her lap as Penelope yanks her arm. Twila quickly slings the bag over her shoulder just before it's out of her grasp as she rises out of her seat. "Penelope, hold on." She says with a chuckle. Jewel's long, light brown hair bounces not too far in front of them, as she leads the four of them off the car. Their suitcases are piled up on the sidewalk just outside the locomotive, steam still hissing and rolling above the train cars, filling the air with its industrial scent.

"Welcome, students. Everyone follow this way please."

The four of them, amongst the many other students, walk through a dark, luscious green forest until they finally see 'it' emerge from the trees in all of its glory.

Twila stands in amazement. The school is ginormous, just how she imagined it to be. It's already so magical and she hadn't seen anything but the bricks that hold everything together. Ilvermorny had been big, but this is on a completely different scale. She didn't even know how much time passed or what direction she was walking, for she was too busy admiring the view.

She watches the first years get sorted into their houses. Unfortunately, Twila had met some of her professors before the start of school and was sorted in private. However, seeing how all eyes were on the first years now as the hat speaks to them, she's somewhat relieved for that. Afterwards, the students gather in the Great Hall to mingle after the start of term banquet, which was just as grand as the rest of the school.

"Come, Twila. I want to introduce you to someone!" Jewel says right before her shriek erupts through the room, causing a certain blond boy to turn around. "Ah! I've missed you, Malfoy!"
