The next day you woke up to Angela packing up her stuff, you sat up and rubbed your eyes as the light was bright. You felt Angela Chuck your clothes onto your bed.

"At midday we're heading to a shop slightly out of the village" she said

"Why?"

"Changing our names"

"What!?"

"Changing our names in order to be in a safer environment for you, we're going to Illvermorny"

"Oh, ok...how do we change our names?"

"I know a guy" she said

"Where do you know all of these random people from!?"

"Family, anyway, this guy will make fake ones using our old ones"

"How did you... Dumbledore! He gave you my old one!" You yelled

"Yes, he couldn't hold off the aurors so he called me up right before the ball and gave both of birth certificates"

She smiled at you and you smiled back. After having breakfast you went on an hour walk to the little shop in the middle of nowhere. Once you got there an old man took the certificates and went into the back. After about 10 minutes he came back out. He gave you both your new and old ones before Angela gave him 6 gallions and 5 sickles.

"The port key will be leaving in three minutes, make sure your quick" he said in a raspy Irish voice.

Angela nodded and you both headed up a hill, at the top there was a wooden plank sitting alone in the grass. You and Angela lay on the ground touching it for about a minute before you started to move and you felt your stomach start churning. All of a sudden you smacked onto the concrete pavement of the Illvermorny gates.

"Shit!" Angela said with her hands bloodied by grazes

"Are you ok?" You said getting up

"Yeah, I'm fine. Dumbledore's already told the headmistress here what's going on"

"Ok, so why did we change our certificates?"

"Only the head mistress knows. Teachers and students don't know"

"Oh...what changed on the certificates?"

"My name is now Abigale Norman and yours is Mila Smith. I kept the first letter of my first name and just made up yours." Angela said before being interupted by the headmistress

"Hello girls, the names miss Nash. Now let's get you inside and we will sort you at 7am, lucky for you other new students are coming too"

You both nodded and were told to get changed and relax for the next hour before being sorted.

After an hour in a half of students piling in you were retrieved at lead into a back room. The defense against the dark arts teacher pulled out a list and read out the names.

"Abigale Norman" she said loudly

Angela stepped forward and went down stairs into a room. You and the other students watched as she stood in their waiting. Four carvings appeared of the Horned Serpent, Thunderbird, Wampus and Pukwudgie. All of a sudden the Wampus carving roared and you knew straight away that it had chosen her. She was lead out of the room and out of sight.

"Mila Smith" the teacher called

You took a deep breath and followed another teacher to the room where Angela just stood. Apart of you wished to be in the same house as Angela but another part didn't as to not be to suspicious.

The door shut behind you, you looked up and saw the kids staring down at you which made you feel uneasy. The carvings appeared and you stared at them all, they were beautiful you thought. As you at the carving of Horned Serpent a gem on its head started to glow and you were chosen into the Horned Serpent.

After that you went into the common room greeted by the other students. It was so different however it reminded you of Hogwarts for some reason.

"The names Peter" a boy your age said, his American accent slapping you in the face

"Mila" (fake name) you said

"Where did you come from" he said leaning against the wall

"I'm gonna tell you this now just incase, I'm taken"

"Oh of course, no I've got someone who I like"

"Right, who is she"

"Um...it's...he actually" he hesitated

"Oh! Your...gay?" You whispered

"No...yes"

"Fun, which one?" You asked

He pointed at dark skinned boy, he looked fit, he had blue eyes that struck you like lightning, his hair was black, thick and combed back. He was at least a year older than you and Peter. This boy was very attractive and seen crowded by girls and boys.

"What's his name?" You asked

"His name's Raymond Foreman"

"I can see why you like him"

"Yeah...as if he'd ever like me though, look at me!" He almost yelled in frustration

You decided to analyse his face and body. He was about the same height and build however he hand dirty blonde hair, grey eyes and a scar on his eyebrow. The two boys were very handsome and you decided to get closer to both in order to distract you, hide your cover and possibly make two people very happy.

"You look quite handsome actually"

"Thanks!" He exclaimed

"Let's be friends Mila" he said

"Alright, first question. Does he like guys?" You asked

"I don't know, but enough about my failed love life what about you?"

"Oh um...I came from Hogwarts with my friend as my parents have had some money issues and her sister has taken us in, she lives here" you said hoping he'd believe you

"Right, and your lover"

"His name's Tom and he's a Slytherin like I a- was"

"Fun! Ok let me fill you in on the tea here"

He told you that three girls Rose, Daphine and Cheryl were the girls who ran the show in your year, Raymond was popular and so was Peter but not as popular and nervous around Raymond. The popular boys in your year as are Tristin, Philip and Magnus who hung out with the girls.

"My one warning is that if you want to go up against those girls watch out, they're basically celebrities" he warned

"I think I'll be fine"

That night you ended up sharing a room with those girls but nothing happened as they were asleep before you had even put your head on the pillow. You really missed Angela, your cousins, your friends and especially Tom, but you felt your eyes starting to fall and ended up going to sleep dreaming about your home at Hogwarts.
