Incantata

Chapter 1

I didn't want to leave at first , saying goodbye to my father whom I had never been away from my whole life. Saying goodbye to the house that I grew up in knowing that it was the last place my mother said " I love you " . I didn't want to leave , but I had to. My father told me I was a wizard ever since I was born. Being born into a powerful bloodline does have it's perks but it also takes away from your life. My relatives hated my father , they thought he disgraced our bloodline by marrying my mom. And i'm sure that he thinks the same thing now that she's gone.My mother was everything to me , she was always there for me when i didn't have anyone, so losing her was like losing a part of me. But it was worse for my father, My father losing my mom was like him losing life itself. My father doesn't think anymore now that she is gone, it's somewhat like he doesnt live. So my father shipped me away , To the exact place that his family shipped him off when he was 11. He didn't want me to meet the same fate as my mother, Though he sent me to the exact place he met her.My father never wanted me to go to Hogwarts despite being a wizard. He was full in the head thinking that he could teach me everything himself but after my mother passed me and my father were never the same, We were distant, it seems that losing a loved one would bring us closer together but with my mom being gone it drove us apart . So I went.
I was scared, sitting on the train knowing that I'd probably be the only American there. I'd probably be the only 16yr old there coming from a public high school where the most dangerous thing you can do is get hit with a ball in PE. I was scared , but I was also relieved. The train was moving fast , I could barely recognize the tree's flying by but it was also calm. It was quiet and quite cozy. The lady was walking down the aisle with a trolley full of candy and drinks , I wanted some but my stomach was too nervous for me to keep anything down. She walked up to the door
"Anything from the trolley dear?" She said calmly, she looked sweet as she smiled at me waiting for me to respond
"No , No thank you " I responded smiling back at her.
"Don't be nervous dear, i promise you'll be alright " she whispered to me as she was about to walk away
"Thank you " I responded. She could tell I was distraught. I turned my head and titled it onto the window, I closed my eyes and slowly dozed off hearing the clam noise of the wind gustling outside. It was calm , it was peaceful.
Next thing I know I woke up to a hard jolt of the train stopping into the station. A loud gust of wind released as they stopped onto the track. I grabbed my bag and stepped out onto the hallway walking towards the doors. As I stepped up to the door and I saw a man , He was almost as tall as the train itself and he greeted his hand out to help me step out of the door.
"Careful Dear" the man says and i take his hand and step onto the platform
"I'm Hagrid" He says smiling at me
" I'm y/n " i responded
" Oh i know ! Your family is quite a legacy " he says excitedly.
"Oh" I responded "Uh yeah they are I suppose " I said awkwardly
"My bad sorry i don't mean too" i cut him off before he could finish
" No , no don't worry about it , i'm used to it it's fine" i said with a smile to comfort him.
" Well y/n let's get going shall we? Don't want to make dumbledore angry now do we?"
We walked down the platform and into the dusk.
This place was huge, I had never seen anything like it. It just seemed magically. The birds were flying and the air was refreshing, the trees were tall and the grass was green. From the first step onto the green grass I could just tell that this would soon be my home.
"Here dear let me take that" Hagrid grabbed the bag out of my hand "Dumbledoor is waiting in the hall for you i can put this away" He says as we walked through the tall halls. The halls were huge, and beautiful. They looked like they had little drawings on them and the smell was so clean and kind of like an old library at the same time.
"Just go down that hall right there" he pointed to my right " at the end there not too far" he says while looking down the hallway.
"Thank you Hagrid" i said
"No probably dear " I started walking as the mourning wind was gustling my face and I started at the top of the walls looking at the designs written onto the ceiling. I looked down and realized I had arrived at the doors to the great hall. I could hear the chatter of kids laughing inside. I was nervous but I stuck my hand out to open the door. I slowly pulled the door open and the chatter started to go silent at the same time. I soon realized I was the only one dressed in a white tank top and high waisted blue jeans. My blue eyes hit the light from the windows and blinded me so I put my hand above my face as I saw into the distance rows and rows of students at the end, Dumbledoor was standing on the stage
I started to make my way down the rows to walk up to the end of the stage. My brown hair was swishing back and forth as I was stepping down the rows. I was so nervous with every single person staring at me , I kept hearing comments such as " who is she?" "does she go here?" ect. I just tried to keep my eyesight on dumbledore as he saw me walking up and towards him
"Welcome, y/n " He said putting his hands together in front of him. He started at me so I just responded " Thank you " . I look behind him and I see Hagrid standing off in the distance.
He gave me a nod and Dumbledore handed me a uniform and stated" It's a pleasure having a y/n family wizard here at Hogwarts, Here sit " he said guiding his hand onto a chair in front of everyone. I slowly followed his hand and sat down onto the chair. I looked out into the crowd of students watching me, I could hear them murmuring quiet little sentences. Quickly soon after he placed a large hat on top of my head. I could hear short sentences coming from the hat , like little words but then soon before I could process anything he was saying I heard a loud "Gryffindor!" Dumbledoor took the hat from my head as a certain section of kids sitting at a table cheered while the rest of them started." Gryffindor... just like your father" Dumbledoor said' as he handed me a tie with the colors red and yellow striped onto it. " Let me introduce you ".
Everyone was staring at me already and all I heard was a loudspeaker like tone coming from Dumbledoor as he pressed his wand onto his neck.''Students! I would be proud to Introduce a new student here today" I was startled but i just looked off into the distant " This is y/n she is an American transfer placed into the Gryffindor" Right after he said that the chatter just intensified. A girl from the table wearing the same tie as the one he handed me got up and walked up onto the podium
" y/n this is Hermione Granger "Dumbledoor stated as he took his wand from his neck.
"Hello!" She said " I'm Hermione Granger, ". i stood quietly
"Don't be startled , the nerves go away with time" She says " Come on you are just in time for the first class which you do not want to be late for" She emphasized walking up onto the table she was just sitting at and I just followed. We walked up onto the table as I made eye contact with everyone sitting in her section. She quickly grabbed her book and was about to walk away as i heard
"Leaving already?" One of the boys said to Hermione
"Well Ron i have to show y/n around , and it doesn't seem like i'm welcome anyway with the way that you're chewing" She snapped back and looked at me
Ron slowly lowered his head and quickly looked at me with an awkward smile
"I'm Ron by the way and this is Harry" As he pointed across the table to a young boy with Brown hair and bright blue eyes like mine
" Nice to meet you i'm y/n " i responded smiling at them both
The boys sitting next to Ron kick him and Ron let out a big cherp
"This is Fred and George " He said unenthusiastically
They both smiled at me , i smiled back
"Anyways we should go" Hermione said, staring at Ron and we slowly walked away.
As I was passing down the rows with Hermione I saw a boy staring at me with white like hair wearing a green robe and white and green tie. He looked cute , but cold . I looked back at him and as we made eye contact for a few seconds he looked down and i just continued on walking with Hermione
