Transfer From Durmstrang; A Harry Potter Fanfic

3. Arrival

The train slowed to a halt, Anna stood from her seat. Still in her Durmstrang uniform. It was a crimson double breathed trench coat  with the symbol of the Atticus house on the left side of her chest. Under the trench coat she wore a white button up shirt and a black silk tie, with a corset around her waist. She had a rabbit fur lined coat that hung off her right shoulder. Brown fitted pants. A darker red skirt. Her black combat boots went up to her knees right below where her skirt ended. Black leather gloves and a rabbit fur cap.

She brushed her long hair over her left shoulder, allowing the house symbol to fully be seen. She grabbed her rabbit fur cap and put it securely on her head. 

Her diagonal bangs curtained her right eye. She was a small figure yet easily lifted her trunk from the floor and grabbed Blasen's cage.

"Wir sind hier, Blasen." She spoke quietly a she stepped off the train.

"Erm.. what?" Said a boy.

Anna looked at him, he was a bleached blond with brown eyes and a light tan complexion.

"Sorry?" Anna eyed him judgementally.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"Oh, I told my owl that we are here. Who might you be?" Anna spoke nonchalantly.

"Oh.. Liam Jordanson. The Hogwarts transfer." He spoke his voice laced with pride.

Anna paused then started laughing. "They're gonna eat you alive!"

Liam froze then blinked and said, "Are you the Durmstrang transfer? You look.. younger than I expected."

"I am Anna Fehlter, third year, Atticus house am transfer student from Durmstrang." She placed down her trunk and held out a hand for a handshake.

"Uhm.. sixth year, you know who I am, Gryffindor, Hogwarts transfer." He said as he awkwardly shook her hand.

Anna took her and back and said, "Ah, you'll probably be in Concinne house or Atticus, Atticus is my house, we are much like the combination of Gryffindor and Slytherin,  Concinne is well, special. Hope you aren't in  Concinne, you'll be ostracized."

Liam simply blinked.

"Well you'll be ostracized either way. But it'll be worse in Concinne." She finished.

"Noted.." Liam mumbled. "Well, Uhm," he cleared his throat. "I'd better be on my way then!"

"Yes, they've been waiting for you for nearly 5 hours now." She nodded.

"Bloody hell! I need to go!" He exclaimed as he rushed onto the train.

Anna chuckled and shook her head. "Try not to die." She called over her shoulder as the train door shut.

She seemed to enjoy causing panic in the blond. Anna picked up her trunk and walked along the path to the school.

About halfway to the school, she was met by the Gryffindor head of house, Professor McGonagall.

"Miss Fehlter." The professor spoke mildly surprised. "We weren't expecting you for another 20 minutes."

"Yes well, as headmaster Karkaroff always said, to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be dead." Anna gave a respectable bow of the head then looked at the professor.

"Right, well I was going to see Mr Jordanson off." McGonagall replied.

"Oh, he's already left upon hearing that Durmstrang has been waiting since I left 5 and a half hours ago." Anna shrugged as she shifted her hold on the trunk.

"I see, do you need help with your belongings?" McGonagall replied slowly.

"Nein, I have them just fine." Anna replied indifferently.

"Alright then, make your way to the school, I'll go make sure the train has left and then come find you. The elves will take your belongings to your dormitory after you have been sorted." McGonagall spoke quickly as she walked away.

Anna simply nodded and walked up to the school's front gates.

She stepped through the gate and was met by a man, he had long thin gray hair and a recessing hairline, his nose was crooked and his pale eyes pierced into the young girl.

"Let me see your bags, I need to inspect for any prohibited items." He spoke cruelly.

Anna hummed in acknowledgement and placed her trunk down to her side. "I thought house elves were to do that?"

At that moment an elf appeared by the trunk. "We are, Mis Fehlter, don't be bothered by Mr. Filch." The elf spoke softly then disappeared with the trunk.

The man Anna now knew as 'Mr. Filch' grimaced then walked away with a cat at his heel.

Anna hummed again and before she could leave another elf appeared.

"Let us take your owl to the owlery." Before Anna could respond Blasen and the elf disappeared.

Anna paused and then sighed inwardly. "I guess I'll have to find the owlery."

She headed for the front door and pushed it open, she was met by loud chatter of students echoing from the great hall. She took a deep breath then walked into the castle.

Anna looked around and then slowly walked up to te great Hall's Doors. She regained her composure, dusted off her clothes and straightened any parts of her uniform that were off, then pushed open the doors.

The doors opened and all eyes were on her. Anna held her head high and walked through the hall with a false look of confidence.

She walked to the front of the hall, and stopped right in front of the steps. She held her hands in front of her and watched as Professor Dumbledore walked before her.

"Welcome Anna Fehlter!" He spoke warmly and placed a hand on her shoulder. The whole school burst into cheers and applause.

Anna felt her face almost turning red with embarrassment.  She gave a respectable bow of the head to the school and then turned to Dumbledore as he raised his hand for silence.

"Tell me Anna, which Durmstrang house are you in?" Dumbledore asked as he stepped him the Sorting Hat.

"Atticus." She answered swiftly.

"Then that must mean you will be either a Gryffindor," he motioned to the Gryffindor table and they clapped and cheered.

"Or," Dumbledore continued and the Gryffindors stopped as he spoke and lowered his arm. "A Slytherin!"

He motioned to the Slytherin table and they had the same response. Soon stopping as Dumbledore motioned to the girl to sit on the stool.

Anna stepped up to the stool, she turned to face the crowd of students. And sat on the stool to be sorted.
