Incantation

- Chapter One -

"Are you sure about this, Eyra?" My cousin Haela asks. I look down at the wand I got from Ollivanders- Unicorn's Tail. I nodded and she patted my back. My Owl Screeched for joy as ran though Platform 9 3/4. I suddenly had this feeling that what if this was all fake? what if I would just run into a wall and possible hurt myself? I wanted to stop but I Couldn't! Hae was pushing me forward! So I closed my eyes and hoped for the l best. Here goes nothing..

I ran straight through the wall and here I was, Hogwarts Express... My eyes gleaned in joy and laughed. I can believe I regretted myself.

She laughs too as she pants for more air. "See, it wasn't that bad." I just smile. She had her own cart too, she is going into her third year here in Hogwarts.

I walked into the train seeing corridors leading into a new room where other wizards and witches sat at. I was nervous, I never had friends in the muggle world. I was known as a freak there. Not because they knew I was a witch, but just the sake labeling people. I opened a door where I see two people talking. but they stop as they saw me standing there.

"May I come in?" They first looked at each other and nodded. I sigh, and sat beside the girl.

"I'm Luna, Luna Lovegood and this is my friend Neville Longbottom" I smile and shake their hands. Luna was pretty, hair as blond as it can be, and as long as mine. "And you are?"

I hesitate for a while. "Uh- Eyra, Eyra Lililuck" I say.

"Lililuck. You must be new, What's your parents?" Neville asks.

"Oh, My parents are Muggles." I say, I look down and frown as twiddle with my fingers.

"There, there Eyra, There's nothing to be ashamed about having muggle born parents. It just means your inner magic blood got through to you. Not all humans do." She smiles and I smile back.

We arrived at Hogwarts where we were put at the great hall where the other witches and wizards were. I saw my cousin sitting at the Ravenclaw table along with Luna. I smile, and she waved at me. I waved back. Professor McGonagall made her introduction speech for the sorting hat and people were place by order. Until I heard my name.

"Eyra Lililuck" Nervous, I step into the chair where the hat was place upon my head.

"Interesting, Very Interesting.. Courage, lots of courage. Hmm, Definitely got Talent and Bravery.." All eyes were on me, it look really long for the hat to choose.. it was pressuring me. But that wasn't all.. I felt a certain someone stare right through my skin. I felt exposed. Then I see him.. Harry Potter. Our eyes locked each other as the sorting hat chooses, I couldn't stop looking at him. I knew it was him just once he started staring at me.. The scar, the eyes, the glasses, it was him alright. He smiles a little and I feel my cheeks turn red. But I still kept lock on his eyes and he was locked into mine.

"Harry Potter!" The sorting hat shouts which frightened me and him and broke contact. "Is who you were staring at.." The hat continues softer. "He is a brave young man Harry, Who knows maybe I'll put you in Gryffindor with him." My eyes gleam widely. "Or maybe, your better off. He could be a bad influence.. Maybe good.. All up to me.." I didn't want Gryffindor to be honest.. I scared of what will happen when I come in contact with Harry.

"Afraid.. Very Afraid.." The hat continues "I think I know where just to put you"

The suspense was killing me.. I started to sweat, as he took is precious precious time! "HUFFLEPUFF" The hat finally says. I smile and ran to the Hufflepuff table where people shook hands and greet me. I felt like a weight was just lifted upon me.

I still felt his stare burrowing my skin, It's probably because he was still staring, and I stared back through the other wizards. He raised his cup and I raised mine and we both drank for our cups. He chuckles and I smile. We haven't spoken a word and I feel like we already knew each other.
