Chapter 1
(GUYS! I AM SO SORRY! I have kept you waiting for so long and it kills me, but here is this chapter. Love you guys)
My mom insists that I keep my body bending contortion a secret while at the new school. It's one of the reasons I was removed from my former school, Beauxbatons. It's not my fault that they can't handle seeing a girl running down the hallway in a backbend. I mean seriously, I didn't know that that one girl was going to fall down and break her arm. Or the other time when that girl broke her leg and lost her voice after seeing me unfold and jump out of a box I was in. I mean, come on. And it definitely wasn't my fault when Reese, the ultimate mean girl, blamed me for putting her in the infirmary after she fell down the stairs.
I didn't push her that hard.
So now I'm not supposed to do one of my favorite things because some girls got hurt. Where's the fairness in that.
As long as I don't get into any serious trouble I should still be able to do it. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go to Hogwarts. Mom, Dad and I are just waiting for the letter. It's July 25th so it should come soon otherwise there isn't a chance that I'll get in.
I hear a knock on the window.
Our owl, Satis, is sitting on the window sill.
She is a gorgeous red-pinkish color from her neck down. From her neck up she is a tannish brown. She has gorgeous blue eyes. (A/N: Owl above) I named her Satis because it is Latin for pretty.
Satis is always getting in fights with my cat, Regina.
Regina is a total brat to people that she doesn't know. However, she is also really sweet to people she trusts. Regina has long fluffy white fur and light green eyes. We named her Regina because it is Latin for queen.
I notice Satis has a letter in her beak when I open the window. I grab a treat and give it to her. I stroke her head before looking at the letter.
The letter has my name and address on the front of the letter. On the back, it has the Hogwarts seal.
I yell out, "Mom! Dad! The Hogwarts letter came! I'm opening it!"
Mom and Dad come into the room as I crack the seal.
"What does it say?" My mom asks.
I read the letter aloud.
"Dear Selena Wilde, we regret to inform you that you..." I trail off.
My mom and dad's faces fall.
"Will be forced to spend the next three years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" I finish with a huge smile
My mom practically tackles me in a hug.
My dad says, "Good job. Try not to kill anyone while you're there."
I roll my eyes and promise I will try my hardest not to.
"I'm gonna go start packing," I tell them as I turn and go upstairs.
===============================================
I am standing on the platform of the Hogwarts Express. My mom is crying and my dad is awkwardly trying to comfort her.
I smile and suggest, "I should go ahead and look around inside. Find a seat."
Mom nodded and started crying harder.
"Goodbye, princess," She sobs as I hug her.
When I hug my dad he whispers, "Good luck, Selena. Be careful."
I nod as I wave goodbye one last time and grab my luggage before getting on the train.
I stalked down the walkway between the compartments, looking into each one. Most of them are empty but I don't want to sit down in a compartment that someone has claimed and make an enemy before I even got to Hogwarts. Normally, I wouldn't care but I promised Dad and Mom that I would try to not get in trouble the first day.
I stop and look around, extremely confused. I absolutely hate not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, I feel a tug on my arm and am pulled into a compartment.
(A/N: Very tempted to cut off here, but I've made you guys wait so long I feel that that would be evil of me)
I yelp and look at the four boys in the compartment.
One has very messy dark hair and round glasses. He is sitting, curious and smirking, on the chair closest to me on my left. The second guy is sort of pudgy and has blonde hair and buck teeth. He is sitting in the corner seat farthest from me on the left and is glancing between the glasses guy, me, and the guy in front of me. The guy in front of me, who pulled me into the compartment, has shoulder-length black hair and a strong jawline. He has a similar smirk on his face like the glasses guy. The last guy has sandy brown hair and scars on his face, but they didn't take away from his features. He was sitting in the corner on the right, leaning against the window, with a book in his lap as he looks at me with curiosity but an apologetic look on his face.
The guy in front of me and just says, "You're new."
The book guy rolls his eyes and tells him, "Don't be so rude."
The guy replies, "You know that it is useless telling me that, right?"
The book guy shrugs before standing up and says to me, "I'm Remus Lupin and I'm very sorry for this pinhead, Sirius Black," He gestures to the guy with the shoulder-length hair, "He has very little manners."
Black? Aren't they that prejudice rich family? This guy doesn't seem like them.
"I resent that," Sirius interrupts, "I pride myself on my complete lack of manners."
Yep. Definitely not like them.
Remus once again rolls his eyes before continuing, "Peter Pettigrew is the blonde and James Potter is the one with the glasses. He and Sirius are the gits in this group."
Sirius and James both complain when he says that as Peter waves at me.
"We just have never seen you before and you looked very confused in the walkway so we decided to say something," James says.
Peter speaks for the first time since I was pulled in and asks, "What is your name?"
I smile and say, "My name is Selena Wilde. Is there any chance I can sit here on the way there. I don't really want to make any enemies until tomorrow and you guys seem cool. I can explain why I'm here on the way."
Everyone looks at each other before nodding. I drop my luggage and sit down and getting ready to tell my hectic story.
