So this is my attempt of an introduction. Hello, I don't know how people write lines of this, I am going to stop trying. 

Annabeth

Earlier that morning

I had no idea where she came from. She just was sitting on my bed when I woke up, I know that I shouldn't keep her, but I couldn't resist. I cuddle her in a bundle of sheets than carefully carry her. I place her in a cardboard box (as an architect I find that I always have a card board box with me.) I close the lid and poke holes in the sides so that she can breathe, then push her under my bed. I stand there and think for a second about a name, I decide on Bella. It was kind of a rushed choice because I saw Hazel starting to wake up and didn't want to be seen staring at a carboard box under my bed. I notice that Thalia and Hermione were already awake and probably down stairs, so a couple of minutes later, I walk down with Hazel and a few other members of my dormitory.

Present time

I know I shouldn't keep a secret but I am worried that if I tell someone they will take her away from me and even though I have only had her for a short period of time I can't help but already feel attached.

Breakfast finishes and I head to my first class, potions with Professor Slughorn. Even though I have been at Hogwarts for two weeks this is the first time I have had potions because care of magical creatures was on during potions and since we recently dropped care of magical creatures for a number of reasons most to do with Percy, we can finally do potions.

I enter the classroom and see three potions lined up on a table.

"Gather around everyone," A, no offence, fat man said who I presumed was the teacher.

"Hello, who may you be?" He asks us.

"I am Hermione, this is Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Jason, Hazel, Ron, Thalia and..."

"Harry Potter," he says for Hermione. "Well welcome to the class, there are some books over in that cupboard." We all go to collect our books. There is a stack of new ones, then an old torn one in the bottom. Knowing there is going to be a fight I quickly grab one and get out of there. Yep as I thought, there is a fight, Harry and Ron are wrestling for the last book. Harry loses and take the dusty book from the cupboard looking mad, while Ron looks like he just won a gold medal at the Olympics.

We walk towards the table with the thee potions. "Can anyone tell me what these three potions are?" Hazel sticks her hand up in the air.

"Very well Miss..."

"Levesque," she answers for him.

"Well go ahead," I walk towards the table. I smell each one. (I am not sure what potion is the first one so it may be wrong)

"The first one is Polyjuice potion." Professor Slughorn nods at her indicating that she is am correct. "In this one is Amortentia," she lingers there for a second than continues, she struggles with the third one," and lastly this one is Felix Felicis, or luck potion."

"Correct," He says with a smile, "Now can anyone tell me what a Polyjuice potion does." I put my hand up along with surprisingly Harry and Ron. The professor points at Harry.

"It allows you to disguise as someone else by changing your skin."
"Correct. Amortentia is a love potion, can I please have a volunteer to smell it and describe what they smell to the rest of the class." I put my hand up, again.

"Ah yes, Miss..."

"Chase" I say.

"Well go on then," I walk up to the middle potion and lean in. The smell is beautiful.
