Audrey is 11 years old, walking through the great hall of hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry, for the first time ever.

she looked all around her, desperately trying to take it all in. the ceiling is beautiful. perhaps glass, or enchanted, or not there all together.

candles everywhere, four fireplaces lining the walls, four tables, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

all of the first year's nervously wait for they're turn to be sorted, including Audrey.

"Ginerva Weasley," calls out the the women Audrey now knows as professor Mcgonagall.

a shaky red haired girl slowly walks to the professor, and sits on a old looking stool.

a hat was placed onto her shiny red hair, as everyone in the room waited silently.

after a moment, the hat suddenly yells out "Gryffindor!" and the hall erupts with cheers

"Audrey hammond," Mcgonagall says

Audrey sighs, trying to sooth her nerves, as she makes her way to the stool.

she sits down, and plays with her charm bracelet as a quite dusty hat is placed onto her head.

"hmm a hammond, haven't had one of you in years. incredibly smart yes, and very cunning," the hat said suddenly, but only she can hear it.

"better be RAVENCLAW!"

"Audrey! wake up your going to be late!" her cousin isa explains as she burst into Audrey's room.

Audrey opens her eyes and looks at the clock, '9:47'
"relax i've got time," she mutters as she climbs out of bed.

"mums made breakfast once your ready," she says as she shuts the door.

Isabella and Audrey have lived together almost their entire lives. Audrey's dad died when she was young, and she never knew her mother, so she lived with her aunt, and her daughter.

Audrey threw on leggings, and a pink sweatshirt for the train ride.

she straightened her hair, and applied mascara and lip gloss before making her way down the stairs with her trunk.

"good morning, sweetheart" said lacy as Audrey stepped off the last stair. lacy was her fathers sister, and a squibb.

Audrey's grandmother was a pureblood witch, who married her grandfather, who was a muggle, only one of theyre children got the magic gene.

Audrey also got the magical gene, as did Lacy's 10 year old daughter, Isabella.

"hey Lace," Audrey replied as she sat at the table,
lacy then placed down a plate filled with fruits, eggs, and bacon.

Audrey stepped on the familiar train, and immediately set off to look for her best friend, Ginny Weasley.

Ginny was the youngest of the many Weasley siblings, who Audrey who most definitely a fan of.

Fred and George, her only entertainment many days, where incredibly kind to Audrey.

***

"give it back Malfoy," Audrey said as she reached for her now stolen book.

"maybe if you were a bit taller, you could reach it."

Audrey was incredibly short for her age, only 4'5 at 11 years old, she spent many nights praying to have a random growth spurt.

"give it up Malfoy," a ginger boy, who she now knows as George Weasley, scoffed, suddenly appearing behind Audrey.

she flinched, spooked by the sudden presence.

the platinum blondes face burned red as looked up at the Weasley boys as they towered over Audrey, being older, and much taller then her.

Fred put his hand out, hinting to Malfoy to hand him the book.

he obeyed, being scared of the older boys, knowing of they're reputation of being pranksters.

Malfoy stormed off, perhaps to torment another first year.

"cmon, we'll walk you to class.

***

"Ginny!" Audrey said as she stopped the red head gliding down the alley, her head whipped around at the sound of her name, and Audrey flashed her a smile.

Ginny swiftly made her way through the crowd of people with ease, she always seemed so graceful, yet so powerful.

she threw her arms over Audrey, unbracing her in a tight hug.

Audrey stumbled a bit, but quickly hugged her back.
"i've missed you to Ginny," Audrey chuckled.

"good, you have got to come back to the burrow with me this summer!" Ginny exclaimed as she pulled away, "i miss you so much when your gone, i hate being trapped with all of those boys."

Audrey giggled as she thought about Ginny being stuck with all of the Weasley boys.

"i will, promise." she replied as she took Ginny's hand in hers. "cmon, let's go find Luna."
