BEHIND THE SCENES | 01

"What are you doing and why did it take you so long to pick up your phone?" was the first thing Andre asked after his girlfriend picked up her phone after sending him to voicemail for the past hour.

Andre just pulled up in front of the Vega residence and wanted to make sure his girlfriend of 5 years was okay, before going to help Trina with her big showcase.

"Sorry, Dre I went to sleep without putting my phone on the charger," Kehlani's soft voice mumbled out from over the phone.

You could tell she wasn't fully awake yet since she didn't give him any attitude for 'questioning her'.

"Alright baby girl, I'll bring you something to eat when I finish helping Trina with her showcase, so you can take a small nap before I get there."

"Okay, love you boo,"

"Love you princess."

The couple cheesed before hanging up.

"No, Grandma listen. There's no way you can drown at my school! You're not gonna fall in a to- Look, I gotta- I- I'll call you later!" Andre yells before hanging up, turning around to see Tori, Trina's little sister with the cheekbones.

"Your grandmother's gonna go to the Big Showcase?" Tori questions crossing her arms.

"Yeah, it's gonna be the first time she left the house in six years."

"'Cuz the woman's afraid of everything! people, umbrellas, Rabbits, bikinis, breakfast foods." Andre listed seriously.

"So if she saw a Rabbit in a bikini eating pancakes..."

"The woman would burst into flames." Andre jokes laughing along with Tori.

"I-" Tori starts getting cut off by Andre's ringtone of Just Say You won't Let Go.

Tori watched as Andre talked with the other person on the line with a big goofy smile.

"I know what to get Lani I've been getting you it for the past 5 years,"

"...."

"Girl- doesn't get cute- matter fact wait till I get there imma show you watch." Andre feigned an angry expression that almost immediately melted

Tori rose an eyebrow as Andre hung up jumping back like he didn't realize she was standing there.

"What the hell Tori-"

"Was that your girlfriend?"

"Yes, she will also be backstage helping out with Trina's showcase tomorrow, now I have to go. Tell Trina to try auto-tune." Andre shrugged before going inside and collecting his things before making his way outside and into his truck.

"Princess?"

Andre called walking into her room after her dad let him in, her father knows that both of his daughters, Kehlani, and Melanin, are no longer virgins.

Their father didn't make a big deal out of it because they came to him as soon as it happened and didn't keep anything from him. In other words, he trusted them.

Though that doesn't mean he didn't give both Beck and Andre a hard time.

"Dre!" Kehlani cheered, launching into Andre's arms and wrapping her legs around his waist, causing the McDonalds bags to drop to the floor.

Andre grins as Kehlani starts to press kisses all over his face; closing the door behind him with his foot before going to sit down.

"How are you feeling princess, tired?" Andre mumbles looking into Kehlani's eyes, watching as she squirmed in his lap.

"Dreee.. stop looking at me like that. I'm fine," Lani mumbles picking at Andre's shirt.

Andre laughed running his knuckles down Lani's spine before sliding his hands down her shorts rubbing on her booty, making the girl shiver.

"Aht aht- Let me eat boo," Lani says swatting at Dre's hands.

"C'mon princess just one kiss, I promise," Andre mumbles pressing his lips against the poor girl's neck.

Lani opens her mouth about to deny when Andre grasps her neck before giving her a long kiss slyly recording with the mirror in front of them.

Lani leans onto Andre's shoulder pushing her shorts/ panties to the side before spreading herself open already knowing the routine and completely forgetting about the food as Andre slips in without warning.

"Keep it, open princess" Andre mumbles turning the flash on, "You're so pretty."

Lani watches with a dazed look in her eyes as Andre snaps a couple of pictures; some with Andre's hand around her throat and some with Lani's tiddie in Dre's mouth.

"Dre-" lani started to whine to which Andre immediately pushes her all the way down on his piece causing the poor girl to drop her form.

After taking a couple more videos and pictures Andre hurriedly sends them to the private story group on both Snapchat and Instagram named, "Behind The Scenes" courtesy of Melanin.

The group only has Beck, Andre, Mel, and Lani in it only because they are all freaks and because they lost a bet in freshman year and just kept it going for years on end.

They even have an anniversary on the date they created the groups in which they both spam very mature videos or photos of each other couple.

No one else knows about the group and they'd like to keep it that way until anymore of their friends get into a very permanent relationship.

" hmmm Marcella Jamila Jean-Pierre I like it " smiling he gave his wife peck on the lips before they both made there way back inside.

She brought the cot with her to the water to bath after the long day she had. When she came back after an good hour of washing.

Making her way toward her bed with her baby in her arms she lightly lay her down on a pillow next to her.

She blew all the candle out and just lay in the somewhat dark room only having the moon coming through the balcony.

Arm secure around her baby she slowly starts to draft off to sleep not before hearing the sounds howling in the distance.

She smiles.

“ mon compagnon”

The sun was peaking through Aisha and Magnus's bedroom. The light hit Aisha's face waking her up from her slumber, she groans and turns around facing her husband.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," he says smiling with his eyes close, Aisha grunts putting her head in the crook in Magnus's neck.

"We need to get up." Aisha groans and put her hand over Magnus's mouth, " least talking, more sleeping"

Magnus chuckled moving Aisha to the side, he got up and went to Avery and Cairo room. He opens the door to the boy's room to find one of the beds empty.

He walked to the right bed and shook Avery awake, " hey....hey...Avery wakes up!" Avery joint awake looking around the room until he's eyes landed on his father, "What papa?" He says groggily rubbing his eyes and turning to the side, " where's your brother?" Magnus looks at the empty bed then back at him.

Avery mumbled something that Magnus couldn't catch, "What?" He says loud in Avery's ear well leaning his whole body over Avery to hear him clearly, " urg papa get off your way like a torn....." the young man says getting crushed by his father, "I get off when you tell me where your brother is" he says messing with his child's hair, " If it gets you to stop shouting in my ear. His probably at Salina's house" he says moving his head away from his father's touch.

Magnus got off his son and grunted at the new knowledge he just learns about his son whereabouts, " thanks....you can go back to sleep now..." he says almost walking out of the room, " Oh I almost forgot" he did a 360 and walk back to his son bed and punch him in the arm really hard, " OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" Avery yelled sitting up on his bed looking at his father well rubbing his hand over his probably bruised arm.

Magnus smiled down at his son, " Oh I just thought you just needed a little something to wake you up..." he then wrapped his arm around Avery giving a bear hug, which caught Avery by surprise. He gave his son a kiss near his hairline, " Happy Birthday Avery" letting go of his son and looking at him.

"Thanks, Papa," he says smiling shyly, Magnus got and patted Avery on his shoulder, "Now that's said and done. Go get your brother before your mother wakes up and wreak havoc on all of us" making his way out the door, "But you said I can go back to sleep"

"I LIED" Avery rolled his eyes and got up to get ready for the day and find his twin brother.

Magnus made his way to Marienna’s bedroom to check in on her, he walks in and sat on the edge of the bed, "Are you up?"

Marienna groans and buries her head in her pillow, "Like mother, like daughter" he whispered smiling, "Come on darling. It time to get up" he says pulling the cover off of her body, " what time is it?" Flipping over her whole body facing the ceiling.

"It's time to get up," he says patting her stomach and getting off the bed, making his way out of the room. She closes her eyes, "I MEAN IT MARCIE, NOW!!!" her eye flung open and she groans really loudly so her dad can hear her distaste.

Magnus walked in the kitchen to find Aisha cooking well the twins Yasmine and Luka sat near the fireplace drawing. He gave both children kisses on the forehead, " Hello my love" she says when he walked towards the kitchen giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hello lovely"

Aisha starts fixing everybody's plate, she placed the plates at her children usually spots. Magnus came behind her and started to kiss her neck.

"Magnus!" she squeals turning around facing him, "The kids are like five steps away from us." they both look back at the young twins who weren't paying no mind to there parents.

"Yasmine!Luka! Go wash up..." Magnus says watching his wife who was watching the children leave, "...See problem solved" he smiled and went back to attacking her neck with his kisses and bites.

Moaning, "Come on, Magnus the children will be back any minute." Magnus lifts up Aisha onto the table and leans back onto the cold surface. He grunts and moved his mouth towards her lips and his hand went up to her dress well her hands went up to his brown hair.

Neither of them heard the door open or the sound of feet coming towards them.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF—" Cairo turned around with disgust on his face.

"OH GODS MY EYES! MY EYES!" Avery put his hand over his eyes rubbing them hoping to get the image of his parent out of them.

"EWWWWW" Yasmine and Luka made a scrunch up face with Marienna hand covering their eyes well she shakes her head with a look of disdain.

"You do know we eat here right?" Marienna says watching as her mother pushes away her father well adjusting her dress and getting off the table, " That's wasn't a rhetorical question." Her mother looked down embarrassed well her father looked highly annoyed taking a chair to sit down at the head of the table waiting for his food.

"Yes we know..." she says getting the plate of food and putting it on their plates, " We're sorry it won't happen again," she says sitting to her husband well there children took there sits, "Speak for yourself" Magnus mumbled digging in well his wife glare at him and kicked his leg under the table.

"Ow," he smiled towards her when she rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Mommy why was daddy up the top of you making weird noises," Luka says both twins looking at their mother with curiously.

Aisha stopped chewing her food and look towards them, "oh...umm....well....uhh...oh what's that I think the baby crying I'm just gonna go get...honey" she says looking toward her husband who chocked on his scrambled eggs well she getting up and going to her and Magnus's room.

Cairo and Marienna  looked the way their mother left with an amused expression, well Avery and the twins looked at their father confused, "We have another sibling" Avery lean forward his twin brother and his young sister whispering looking at them confused.

Cairo looked at his brother with an eye roll going back to eating well Marienna closed her eyes putting her pointing finger and middle finger together to rubbing her temple, and Magnus sigh closing his eyes, " No Avery we don't have another child....unless.....your mother is pregnant" he says smiling at the last part.

"I'M NOT SO GET THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE," she says in the bedroom, Avery looked shook at his mother responded.

Magnus deadpanned grumble going back to his breakfast, soon enough Aisha emerges from the bedroom going back to her seat next to her husband, "Sorry I must have been the neighbors baby" she says smiling and going back to her food.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dasley don't have a baby," Marienna says looking at her mother with her eyebrow raised, "shut up and eat your breakfast," she says looking at her daughter with a blank expression.

Marienna rolling her eyes went back to eating, "You still didn't answer our question mama" Luka says looking at his mother with strawberry jam in the corner of his mouth. Aisha grabs a cloth from her pocket and wipes the corner of his mouth.

Sighing, "Well when two people love each other dearly they....hmmm they show each other affection with.....touch?" looking at her husband with an eyebrow raised.

"Yea...Like mommy said now eat your breakfast" Aisha deadpanned look at her husband response, "On a different note are you guys excited for the blue moon festival" she looks toward her boys with a big smile, "Since it's also your 18th birthday I hope to talk to you discuss somethings with you"  Magnus says looking at  Avery pointedly.

Before Avery could say a word, "What about me? It's my birthday to father." Cairo looked at his father with an eyebrow raised, "I know my son it just Avery, and I have important things to talk about." Giving him small smile.

Cairo looked between his twin and his father, he places down his fork and scratches the side of his face, " Of course..." folding his arms and nodding his head slowly, " take the noble brother to discuss how to lead a pack well your firstborn do nothing" Avery mumbles picking up his fork and moving his food around.

"Cairo that's not how it—" Avery starts, "Kai that's not nice apologies to your brother now" Magnus nods agreeing well Cairo looks at his mother disapproving face waiting for him to apologize, " Mama he doesn't have to apologize-" he tried to talk.

"No, your mother right. What Cairo said was unnecessary. Apologize. " he says looking at his oldest son pointedly, " He just said I didn't need to apologize..." looking at his parents with a sarcastic smile.

Both parents glared at their oldest, Magnus was going to say something before there was a knock, " I get it" Avery got up quickly and went to the door, Aisha and Magnus looked at their son.

"I don't care what he says you gonna apologize to him," Magnus whispered

"That's no way to treat family Kai. You know you hurt his feelings-" she starts, "His feelings? No disrespect "mom" but what do you know about me or my brother...." Cairo laugh at that, Aisha took back well Magnus glares at his son, "That's enough Cairo. You apologize right now!"

Cairo stares at his father with anger, he nods his head, "I'm sorry...." he looked down at his plate, " that you think that fool you called a son who is too stupid and too sensitive is worthy to lead a pack...." looking at his dad, he turns his attention to Aisha, "I'm sorry....that you think just because you raise us since we're 10 means that you our birth mother...Your not!" he shouts standing up looking at Aisha with hatred.

Magnus got up from his seat almost knocking it over about to wring his son neck until Aisha put a hand on his arm bringing him back down to his seat.

She got up off her seat with her head high and her eyes teary. Before she can say anything Avery tackled his brother the ground, both throwing punches at each other.

Aisha told Marcella to take the twins to their rooms, before trying to help her husband get Avery off Cairo. After a while Magnus pulled Avery off of him putting distance between Cairo and Avery, standing in the middle of them, "You are so childish Kai how dare you! Say something like that to our mother! The only women who could ever love us!"

Cairo only glared breathing heavily at his brother, " Such a mommy's boy and father think your fit to lead. Pathetic!" blood dripping down his nose from his brother's right hook. Avery with a busted lip begins to speak again, "You such arrogant ass...".

Glaring at his brother Cairo ran around his mother just to be thrown onto the table by her. Sliding off he moved to do it again until he saw her "Don't even think about it" look with her hand raise.

"Just for the record BIG brother. Father and I weren't going to discuss we were going to collect the dagger I got you for your birthday..." Avery says grabbing the dagger from his pouch and slamming it on the table near his brother.

Cairo looked at his parents then at Avery before picking up the dagger and looking at it closely, the design on the front was unique when he flips it to the back it was an engraved "afdal 'asdiqayiyun , 'akhia almuntasir" (My best friend, my victorious brother).

He looked at it for a while eyes watering sniffing, "Father said ever leader needs a dagger to show their sacrifice and accomplishment" Cairo looked at his brother who walked out of the house to get some air, Magnus followed after his son to comfort him.

"Come on my dear let's clean up those cuts..." Aisha says leading her oldest towards her and Magnus's room, she sat him on the bed before going to the bucket full of water next to the fireplace to clean his wounds.

Well, Aisha dab the wet cloth on her son wounds focusing, Kai sat his knife beside him and started looking at his mother closely, "I'm sorry mother" he said ashamed his eyes full of tears ready to fall, " I know bebè I know you didn't mean what you said. It hurt but I know you didn't mean it." She says dabbing the wet cloth on his dry blood under his nose.

"But I shouldn't have said it. I was being unreasonable like always" he whispered the last part looking down, Aisha grabs his chin gently pulling it up to look her in the eye, "Yeah you were kinda a dick sweetie," she nods looking at him with a serious face before they both laugh at each other.

"Thanks, mom. You always know what to say" he says smiling at his mom, " I do what I can," she says rubbing little mud on his left cheek was a cut was.

She patted his legged, " Now keep that on for there about four hours." Cairo nodded and got up going towards the door, "What do you think your going young man?" Aisha says looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I was going to find Avery and papa to apologize, " he says stopping in his track looking at his mother with a confused look, "You almost forgot your dagger," she says walking towards him with his dagger, she kissed his right cheek and ruffled his hair, " Be safe my son"

"I'm always am" he gave his mom that same goofy smile that his father has, she shook her head walking him toward the door seeing him off. He turns around waving goodbye before running toward the woods to find his father and brother.

She smiled at him and until she felt uneasiness, she looked around and didn't see anyone looking at her or paying her mind so closed the door to her house. Not notice the man from the woods watching her.

Prologue:

IT WAS an unusually warm summer afternoon in London, causing the Jackson's to leave their windows ajar, hoping to catch any scarce summer breeze they could.

"Morning mum," Adina said, placing a firm kiss on her mother's temple then doing the same to her father's.

Her mother grinned at Adina as she bounced from the dining table to the kitchen, scavenging for a bite to eat.

"How are you feeling this morning, lovebug?" Her mother asked.

"Erm suns out, plus Katie and I plan on rollerblading this afternoon, so I'd say excellent," Adina said, grinning at her mother.

Her mother Athena was a beautiful woman, she had jet black curls with hints of grey that complimented her brown skin. Athena was an intelligent woman, She taught at the primary school that their youngest; Adina's only younger brother, Jonathan attended.

"What about the pair of you?" Adina asked, pouring her cereal.

"Just fine, your father and I were running to the grocery mart this afternoon, maybe I could make you and Katie lunch after your rollerblade," Athena said.

"Yeah, I'd love that," Adina said.

Adina tilted her head, watching her father who was in deep thought. "Daddy, what's got you so quiet?" She asked.

Not that her father was the loquacious type, but he was never this quiet, especially with her. Liam was different from the rest of the Jackson's, he had farrier skin, a stern face that was paired with generous grey eyes.

Liam sighed, placing his morning newspaper down. "Sorry love just thinking this morning, that's all," Liam said. "And I do hope you and Katie have fun today, responsible fun that is."

"We will dad, always do," Adina said.

Adina stopped, listening to her eerily quiet home hoping to hear the rattle of her younger brother Johnathan's footsteps.

"Not that I care much, but where is Johnny?" Adina asked.

"He's staying at your Aunt and Uncles this weekend," Athena said.

Adina's eyes flicked between her parents."Why's that?" She asked, stuffing a spoon full of cereal in her mouth.

As she looked at her parents she couldn't help but feel the tension between the pair. She watched as her mother frowned at her father with a look of guilt spread on her face. While her father's eyes told another story, his story was hiding something. Adina could tell by the way his lips were pursed together and his nose flared, all while glaring at Athena.

"Something I should know?" Adina said.

"No, he's with your Aunt and Uncle, now it's almost noon shouldn't you be getting ready?" Liam said sternly.

Adina nodded her head slowly. "Right." She said.

Adina walked up the winding stairs that led to her bedroom, she still couldn't fathom why her parents would ship Johnathan off to stay with their Aunt and Uncle with who they had a horrible relationship with. She tried not to let it bother her, but the thought was still lingering in the back of her mind. But she trusted her parent's because one thing stood, her parents weren't liars.

••••

That afternoon all was well, and Adina felt more alive than ever. She and Katie raced down their favorite looped path that led to a beautiful lake and greenery space not far from their homes. They found this place together but separate years ago, Adina had helped Katie when she witnessed the blonde girl practically take flight off her pink retro bike, slamming onto the concrete sidewalk. And ever since that spring afternoon, they'd been inseparable.

"Katie, slow down we don't need you taking flight again," Adina said, teasing her taller best friend.

"Oh shut it, at least I can fly," Katie said, spreading her arms wide like an eagle rolling down the winding path.

Adina rolled her brown eyes skating faster, catching up with Katie she grabbed her waist pulling them both down. The girls hit the soft green grass and burst into fits of laughter.

"I hate you," Katie said, ripping pieces of grass tossing them at Adina.

"Oh, you love me," Adina said, tossing some grass back.

"I know," Katie said, slipping out of her socks and skates. "Join me?"

Adina smirked, taking Katie's extended hand. "Depends on what it is." She said.

"How about this!" Katie shouted, splashing a fair amount of the lake's cool water right onto Adina's face.

"Oh my goodness, Katie Olsen I am going to destroy you," Adina shouted, rushing to toss water back at Katie.

The girls let out screams of joy as they splashed water back and forth eventually soaking each other.

"Alright, I reckon that's enough I look like a wet dog." Katie gasped, catching her breath.

"Yeah, excellent idea," Adina said, tossing herself onto a nearby bench that overlooked the lake.

Katie eventually did the same, ringing the water out of her long blonde hair. "So, what's this sketchy news you wanted to tell me about?"

"Right.' Adina said, sucking in a deep breath. "My parents, well mostly dad, were acting strange at breakfast. I asked them where Johnny was and they insisted he was with my Aunt and Uncle, but their interaction was weird."

"Wait, don't your parents not get along with your Aunt and Uncle?" Katie asked, still playing with her hair.

"Yes, exactly! So why send Johnny to be tortured by those stuck up brutes," Adina said.

"Maybe they've made up and you don't know about it," Katie said, shrugging her shoulders.

"That still doesn't explain them sending Johnny away, it's not like they are going anywhere this weekend, and even if they were I usually babysit him," Adina said.

Katie sucked her teeth, truthfully she was just as confused as Adina. For as long as she had known the Jackson's they vocalized their distaste for their 'fancier' Aunt and Uncle.

"Maybe they just wanted a weekend alone with you," Katie said.

"Maybe, but not likely," Adina muttered.

Adina felt warmth in her hand, she looked down and saw Katie's hand was tangled into hers. Adina took in a deep breath leaning on her best friend's shoulder, thinking maybe Katie was right, what if it was truly nothing.

••••

The next morning Adina stirred out of bed and began to her family's shared bathroom until she heard indistinctive whispers coming from downstairs. Quietly, she walked halfway down the stairs taking a seat on the steps.

"Are you sure Albus, is it safe? Is he gone?" Liam asked, holding Athena in his arms.

Albus?

"I am certain, she's strong like you, I can assure you, Liam, you and Athena have nothing to fear. It's time, has she received the letter?" The unfamiliar hoarse voice asked.

Letter?

"No, no not yet," Athena croaked.

Was mum crying?

"What the hell was going on." Adina thought.

"She needs to know, it's in her best interest and we can't keep Hogwarts from her forever," Liam said.

Hogwarts?

"That's it," Adina whispered to herself.

Toothbrush in hand and still in her sleep robes, she quietly walked down the remaining stairs peeking her head into the family room. To her surprise when she quietly whipped her head around the family room entrance but she only saw her parents. No unfamiliar voice, just Liam and Athena.

"Albus, we'll talk to her tonight and she will be there this year," Liam said sternly, pulling Athena into him.

Either Adina's parents had gone mad or they were talking to a block of wood inside the furnace. She wanted a closer look but couldn't risk getting caught, her mind was racing, and she knew she hadn't gone mad. Her parents were hiding something from her and she wanted to know what it was. The impatient side of Adina wanted to bust them right now and confront them, but she'd hold her tongue and wait until they told her, and hopefully, it was soon. Quickly, Adina snuck back up to the bathroom closing the door behind her. She looked at herself in the mirror slipping her bonnet off, all she could do was dread whatever it was her parents had to tell her.

••••

It was later, and Adina had begun to grow increasingly impatient and irritable with her parents. Instead of telling her the moment she woke up they decided to spend the whole day shopping, spend quality time, and finally ordering takeaway for dinner. Adina couldn't take it any longer, she practically felt she would explode from how angry and impatient she'd grown.

"Aw, your turn lovebug." Athena chuckled, as they played the second round of monopoly.

Adina rolled her eyes as a rather large vein began to bulge out her forehead. She was in no mood to play any more board games, the only game she wanted to play was her parents telling her the truth game.

"Dina, everything alright?" Liam asked, placing his large hand on her shoulder.

"That's it." She thought

"No,' Adina said. "No I am not okay, who were you speaking with this morning, and why is Johnny not here? And what is Hogwarts?" She asked, panting and almost out of breath.

Her parents stared at her in complete dismay. Not because she had just shouted at them but because she knew, she knew now, and she had witnessed magic.

"Adina, honey—." Athena began.

"No mum, just the truth, what's going on?" Adina sniffled, crossing her arms over her chest.

Liam and Athena hated having to lie and even more than that, they hated seeing Adina cry.

"Okay," Liam sighed. "Look at me Adina, everything I am about to say is true and you need to believe me," Liam said.

"Okay," Adina said.

•••

"I'm a witch, and dad... dad you're a wizard?"Adina stammered. "How is that possible?"

"It just is," Athena said, reaching across the coffee table taking hold of Adina's hand.

"And Hogwarts is a school full of kids like me?" Adina asked, still in disbelief.

"Yes and the wizard you heard us talking too.—"

"Albus," Adina said, cutting her father off.

"Yes, he wants you to attend and so do mum and me, we've kept you away long enough," Liam said.

"What, how long?" Adina asked.

"Two years," Liam admitted.

Adina scoffed. "Two years!" She said. "I still don't understand why," Adina questioned, tearing up once more.

Liam sighed deeply, taking hold of his Adina's shoulders."There are beautiful things about the wizarding world and Hogwarts, but just like every beautiful thing there is an ugly side, and Hogwarts isn't exempt I've seen it myself. I just wanted you to be ready, and now I feel as if you are." Liam said.

Adina nods, turning to her mother. "And mum, are you a witch like me?" She asked.

"No, I'm a muggle," Athen said with a half-smile.

"A what?" Adina asked.

"She is no witch or wizard that's the meaning of a muggle," Liam explained

"So, me up until thirty minutes ago, go it," Adina said.

"Adina, you've always been a witch," Athena said.

Adina scoffed, shaking her head lightly. "No apparently not since I'm not just finding out!" She shouted.

"Adina Ellie Jackson keep raising your tone and God so help me!" Athena threatened.

Adina knew not to walk into that battle so she calmed her tone immediately.

"So when do I go to Hogwarts?" Adina asked nonchalantly.

"Next week, and ideally five years," Liam said.

"Next week, five years!" Adina said in disbelief. "No I don't want to, I won't go!"

"It's already been confirmed and discussed, your mum and I have bought your books and robes. You'll be leaving September 1st." Liam said.

"I can't just leave, what about Katie, Johnny, and school, I'll be alone there," Adina said. "Don't make me." She croaked.

Liam pulled her into a warm hug, stroking her thick coily hair. "You won't, You're an amazing bright girl and you'll make lots of friends at Hogwarts ." He reassured her.

"Just give it a shot, this one year, and if you hate it as much as you do know you don't ever have to go back," Athena said.

"You...you promise." Adina stammered, crying into Liam's chest.

"I promise, but I think you'll love it as I once did," Liam said.

"I certainly hope so." Adina whimpered.

IT HAD been exactly a week since Adina had found out about Her wizarding abilities and ancestry. It had also been a week since she had visited a rather strange place called Diagon Alley.

Needless to say, the whole week had been a headache. Adina hardly knew anything about being a wizard and now she was to attend a school two years behind and learn more foreign material.

Adina should be the one excited about the new journey she was about to embark on but, she was anything but excited. Unlike her father Liam, who was seemingly bouncing through the train station in glee, remembering his days at Hogwarts.

"Liam, please slow down, you know these heels are killing me!" Athena called after her husband, who seemed to be miles ahead of her.

"Well hurry along darling!" Liam teased. "Oh, Merlin, how I remember these days when we used to run through the station or the treats from Honeydukes cart, Godric I could go for some chocolate frogs right now," Liam said with a bright smile on his face.

"We?" Adina said, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes, me and Ja—, nevermind. I just remember the great times I had at Hogwarts, and I only wish the same for you." Liam said, giving Adina a small hug.

Adina chuckled, she wasn't sure that was possible. Outside of Katie in the muggle world, Adina didn't really have friends so what if she suffered the same misfortune at Hogwarts.

"Dina," Liam said.

Adina looked up at her father. "Yes."

"You will be fine, just be yourself that's all you can ever give anyone," Liam said, patting her shoulders lightly. "Here it is." He said, pointing to a brick wall.

"Adina, be as brave as I know you are, sweetheart," Athena said, tucking a curl behind Adina's ear.

Adina raised a brow looking around at the trains that surrounded her. "Thanks, mum, but dad, I think you've forgotten how to get to the station." She said, crossing her arms.

"No, he hasn't!" A voice chirped.

"It's right this way!" Followed by another.

Adina watched as two tall redheads zip past her, suddenly disappearing into the brick wall ahead of her. Her jaw dropped, and she couldn't believe what she was witnessing.

Magic.

"I told you, I'd never forgotten where this place is," Liam stated.

"I can't do this," Adina shook her head backing away from the wall.

"Yes you can Adina, and you will." Liam encouraged, holding on to her shoulders.

"Look." Liam continued, he pointed at two young wizards who sped through the brick wall with the brightest smiles on their little faces, "If they can do it, so can you."

Adina sighed, taking in a deep breath. "Okay, let's do this."

"We can do it as a family if you'd like?" Athena added.

"Yes please," Adina said.

So together Athena, Liam, and Adina grabbed a hold of her cart and sprinted toward the brick wall shooting to the other side. Adina gasped, she had never seen such a sight. Hundreds of what she assumed to be witches and wizards were all around her. She even got a glimpse of the two red-headed twins from earlier, except they were surrounded by even more redheads; they were a rather large family Adina thought. She watched as more mothers and fathers cried as they shipped their young boys and girls off to the same school she'd be attending. She had five minutes, just five short minutes until she had to leave her family and home behind.

"Dina, It's time," Liam said.

Adina took in a shaky breath, pursing her lips trying not to cry. "Do you really think I will be a great witch?" She sniffled, a single tear dropping from her eye.

"More than great, In fact, I think you'll be one of the strongest witches of your year. You excel in London, you'll excel at Hogwarts." Her father complimented

"Oh, father!" Adina said, jumping into her father Liam's arms, not wanting to let go.

Athena joined them, rocking Adina back and forth, she would miss her daughter, but she knew it was time. She just prayed that she and Liam kept her away long enough to protect her, to ensure that he was really gone.

"I love you, my sweet girl," Athena said, placing a tender kiss on Adina's temple.

"I love you too, so much," Adina said, She turned towards the train making small strides to it, 'Wait! Please, please remember to write to me, I'd like a letter every week." She said.

"We promise!" Liam said, waving her off with Athena by his side.

Sucking in a deep breath, Adina got into the jam-packed line of students eager to enter the train toward Hogwarts. Their energy was rubbing off on her because her anxiety began to subside giving way to what she hoped was excitement and not nausea.

••••

Adina entered the train looking around for an empty cart to sit in, to be alone and gather her thoughts. To her dismay, they were all full and busy. Each car was packed with friends laughing with each other, discussing what had happened over their summer, how they'd gotten taller. And seeing that quickly made her anxiety return. Eventually, Adina stumbled upon an empty car, or at one least she thought was empty. There was an older looking gentleman slumped inside, wearing dingy brown clothing, and was snoring so loud it was as if he could derail the train.

"Geez," Adina whispered, slipping inside, It was better than sitting in the hallway if that was even allowed.

Adina heard the train's last horn. Five minutes before they took off to Hogwarts. She stood on the balls of her feet thrusting her heavy carryon up top, but not before grabbing a book to keep her company. The least she could do was entertain herself on the commute, while the peculiar man in front of her slept. Adina sat back, opening her book and falling into quite the trance by the words on the pages, so much so she hadn't noticed that three more students had joined her in the cabin.

"Hermione just keep your bloody cat away from my Scabbers!" One of them croaked.

Could they see her? Maybe if she used the book as a shield they'd miss her. Adina thought

"Crookshanks wants nothing to do with your rat, he is gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly!" A girl said.

"He's a carnivorous monster, just keep him in li—." the voice croaked again.

"Guys." One of them whispered, interrupting the others bickering.

Adina hadn't moved a muscle, so maybe they had noticed the snoring man and not Adina. And Adina only hoped they noticed the snoring man.

"Erm, excuse me." A soft voice said.

Slowly, Adina removed the book from her face revealing an interesting sight. Her eyes panned from a red-headed boy who carried a large brown garden rat, then to a raven-haired boy with circular glasses, intense blue eyes, and a strange scar. Next was the girl who spoke to Adina, she was beautiful with bushy brown hair and bangs.

"Hi," Adina mumbled.

"Ello." The redhead said.

"Not to be rude, but you are?" The girl asked, eyeing Adina up and down.

Adina took in a deep breath, closing her book placing it beside herself. "I'm Adina." She said.

"Well, I'm Hermione Granger," Hermione said, extending her hand for a shake.

Hesitantly Adina latched on, shaking Hermione's warm hand with a timid smile.

"This is Ron and Harry." The two boys grinned standing behind Hermione.

"Are you a first-year? I mean you look nothing like one, but are you?" Hermione asked, taking a seat next to Adina.

"Erm, yes, and no I suppose," Adina stuttered.

Ron and Harry took a seat across from Adina, staring intently as Hermione questioned her. Their stares made her feel as though she was under a bright spotlight.

"What does that mean? How can you not be a first year, we've never seen you before." Ron said.

"Just a bit behind I guess, but I'm actually a third-year," Adina said, beginning to sweat.

"More than a bit, that's two bloody years," Ron said.

Adina nodded, truthfully she knew this would happen, her new classmates would interrogate her about 'where she had been for the past two years.' And to be quite frank, she didn't have a good excuse.

"That's all right, nothing wrong with a late start." Harry chimed in, sending Adina a short smile.

"Yeah," Adina chuckled lightly.

"Well, welcome to Hogwarts," Ron said while petting Scabbers.

••••

Adina hadn't noticed but she'd fallen asleep, she woke up shivering but noticed she wasn't the only one. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all up and seemed to be feeling the same way.

Every inch of Ron was trembling, and every breath he took came out frosty. "Bloody hell it's freezing," He said.

"The trains stopped," Hermione said, with a frown forming on her face "Why has it stopped?"

Suddenly, the whole cabin went silent, and Adina's heart rate slowed as her face saddened, tears at the cusps of her eyes. She felt like all the happiness in her life was rapidly seeping out of her, and her cabin mates were feeling identical. Ron looked terrified curling up to Scabbers, while Hermione sniffled, and Harry stared off wide-eyed to the space next to Adina. The next thing Adina knew a large grey hooded creature pried open their cabin door, slipping inside. The creature glanced around at all their petrified faces, but it then focused its sights on Harry. Leaning down It began attacking him, seemingly sucking his face off with a vigorous force. Quickly, Harry's face began to almost fade away as the creature growled, feeding on Harry's defenseless body.

"Harry." Hermione whimpered.

The rest of the cabin watched horrified as the hooded figure sucked the life away from Harry. Suddenly the snoring man shot up from his slumber holding his wand to the creature. A wispy grey light seeped from the tip of his wand causing the figure to release Harry, and with a bitter screech, it floated out of the cabin. Harry dropped to the floor with a groan, as the man leaned down to aid him. Adina felt the life come back to her instantly, she shook off the horrid feelings that she felt only moments before.

"What...What was that!" Ron stammered.

"A dementor." The man told the frazzled students.

"Professor Lupin, will Harry be alright?" Hermione asked, crouching down beside them both.

Professor? Adina thought.

"He'll be fine, he just needs this." Professor Lupin said, pulling out a piece of chocolate. Breaking apart a small piece, he fed it to a weak Harry.

"What's a dementor?" Adina said, staring down at Professor Lupin.

"A dementor is a dark creature that feeds on human happiness. Nasty they are," He explained.

As he spoke to Adina she could finally take in his features, Professor Lupin had shaggy light brown hair and a face covered in scars.

"He will be fine, Ms. Granger, you all just tend to him, I believe we've arrived anyway. I'm going to check on the other students." Professor Lupin said, before swiftly exiting the cabin.

What a great start to the year.

•••

It seemed like it took almost an eternity to get settled into Hogwarts. The halls were buzzing with commotion as witches and wizards headed to the great hall for the first night's feast.

"Ms.Jackson." A raspy voice called from behind Adina.

Adina turned around to find herself facing a rather tall older woman, who donned the most formal gown she'd ever seen, complemented by an interesting black hat. Almost identical to all the wizard hats she had seen before on television.

"Yes?"Adina said, still uncertain about how the woman knew her name. She thought no one knew her here except the students she briefly met on the train.

"Lovely to meet you, I'm Professor McGonagall and I'll be taking you to see Professor Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall said,  taking hold of Adina's elbow pulling her through the thick crowd of students.

"Why am I going to see Professor Dumbledore?" Adina asked, struggling to keep up with Professor McGonagall's quick pace.

"To be sorted." Professor McGonagall said quickly.

"Sorted?" Adina said.

"You will see, Jackson." Professor McGonagall asserted in a stern tone.

The pair reached a lonely hallway, they stood side by side in front of an odd statue before Professor McGonagall uttered a phrase.

"Sherbert Lemon." She said.

And with that, the statue moved aside revealing a winding passage of stairs.

"If you will." Professor McGonagall gestured.

Adina took in a deep breath before climbing the winding passage. When she reached the top, she noticed a tall man with long white hair and a beard just as long to match.

"Hello, Ms.Jackson, it is so wonderful to have you this year, please, take a seat." He said, as a chair suddenly appeared beside Adina. She took a seat facing Professor Dumbledore as he sat on the edge of his desk.

"You... I recognize you, you're the voice from last week." Adina said.

"Well, I hate to be reduced to something as inadequate as 'the voice'," Dumbledore chuckled. "But yes, I am the voice from last week, and I suppose you know why you're here now."

"Yes, I'm a witch," Adina said with uncertainty.

"Exactly!' Dumbledore said, clapping his rather large hands together," and so you must be sorted into your house."

"My house?" Adina said, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes, at Hogwarts there are four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each student must be selected into one, now I believe the sorting hat is ready to decide Adina."

"Oh, I am." A saggy brown hat uttered from the shelf above. "And I believe we've got a hard worker here, Dumbledore."

Adina jumped, as the hat continued to speak while Dumbledore carried it towards her "Maybe Hufflepuff could fit, I sense that she’s patient." The hat continued.

"Now, let us get you sorted," Dumbledore said, placing the hat on top of her head.

She could hear it thinking, and it was anything but subtle with its comments.

"Mmm...right, this perfect dumbledore, not as difficult as I thought. Hm, she’s brave, hard-working as I mentioned, loyal how very loyal." The hat continued, reading Adina like an open book.

“But there’s something about her bravery, it’s not of the typical kind, but it’ll do.” The sorting hat frowned.

"Does it usually take this long, am I doing something wrong?" Adina asked Dumbledore, who stood watching the process.

"There is no time length with the sorting hat, only accuracy," Dumbledore replied.

"But where to put you, it was very courageous for you to show up here at a time like this. So it better be, Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

Dumbledore swiftly removed the hat from Adina's head placing it on his desk. He then moved swiftly toward a wardrobe that sat in the corner of his study. He pulled out a long black robe with red on its inside.

"Put these on, and you ought to head down to the great hall you don't want to miss the feast," He said. "Oh and Ms. Jackson make sure to sit with your house, you will meet wonderful people in Gryffindor."

"Thank you," Adina mumbled, slipping on the robe he gave her.

She looked down at the small patch that decorated the barren black and red robe releasing a small chuckle.

"Congratulations Ms.Jackson," Dumbledore smirked.

....

Eventually, Adina made it to the great hall that was filled with all of Hogwarts students. Looking up and down the aisle she tried to find her house's table.

Yellow, blue, green...red! She thought to herself panning up and down the rows.

The Gryffindor table was filled, as more students were sorted into the house. Adina made her way to an empty seat sliding in hoping to not be noticed.

....

"Blimey, there's a lot of first years for Gryffindor," Ron said.

"Well, I believe that's a good thing, rather here than Slytherin," Hermione said, mugging the Slytherin table before returning to her book.

"Pottah, Pottah!" Draco nagged, causing Harry to turn around.

"Is it true you fainted?' Draco teased. "Like actually fainted?"

"Shove off Malfoy," Ron said, before whipping himself and Harry back around.

"Just forget it," Hermione whispered to Harry while scowling at Draco.

Draco Malfoy was a bully and an insufferable one at that, he jabbed at Harry whenever he could, all because Harry rejected him their first year. Not too far down the table, Harry noticed the girl from the train again. He had wondered where she went after she got off the train, but he figured she had gotten lost or was placed in another house.

"Hey.' Harry nudged Ron's shoulder while tapping Hermione. "Isn't that the girl from earlier?"

Hermione leaned forward looking past the heads of her fellow housemates. "Yes I suppose it is, I wasn't aware she was in Gryffindor,"  Hermione said.

Ron scoffed. "I don't think she was either." He paused watching her. "I mean look at the girl, she looks like a bloody lost chicken."

Hermione sighed, "We should invite her over."

"What?' Ron said. "We hardly know her."

Hermione scoffed, rolling her eyes at her stubborn friend.

"Well let's get to know her, she could at least use a few tour guides," Harry said.

"Pretty sure that's Percy's job," Ron grumbled.

"Pss," Hermione called in Adina's direction.

Immediately, Adina looked up locking eyes with Hermione. Hermione waved her over, Adina, who was in disbelief pointed at herself, prompting Hermione to shake her head 'yes.' They watched as Adina slowly walked over, Hermione pushed aside her things making room for Adina next to her.

"Well, hello again," Hermione said as Adina took a seat beside her.

"Hi," Adina said.

"Erm, we didn't know you were a Gryffindor," Harry said.

"Oh yeah, I just got sorted upstairs with Dumbledore," Adina said.

"Oh." The trio said.

"I still don't get how you missed the first two years, and now you're here," Ron said.

Adina shrugged."I'm not sure of it myself. My parents felt I wasn't ready for Hogwarts, I suppose." She said.

"And now you are? That's just bloody strange." Ron mumbled.

"Ron I think you've asked enough questions, don't overwhelm her," Harry said, looking at Adina.

"Thanks," Adina mumbled, looking down and away from Harry.

"Yeah," Harry said, clearing his throat.

The four students watched as the last first year was sorted into their house, Ravenclaw.

"Thank Godric that's over." Ron groaned, 'Now we can eat." he smiled.

Harry and Hermione chuckled at Ron's eagerness to eat, and eat they did. The entire Gryffindor table had plates stacked high with all the delicious food Hogwarts had to offer. And they all definitely had to unbutton their pants afterward.

....

More than an hour had passed since Adina's 'house perfect,' whom she later discovered was Ron's older brother Percy, had brought them to the Gryffindor Dormitories. There were four girls she would be sharing her dorm with, Parvati and Padma Patil, Lavender Brown, and Hermione Granger. They all had left for the common room immediately after dropping their trunks off. Although Hermione was gracious enough to stay with her, showing her around their well-sized dorm, she eventually left to enjoy the common room with the rest of Gryffindor house. But Adina decided to stay right on her bed. Every part of her wanted to go down the steps and introduce herself, even make a friend. But she couldn't, she was scared. She was in a new school with different faces and a whole new atmosphere. And new always made her skin crawl.

"Hey," Hermione said, snapping Adina from her thoughts.

"Hello," Adina said

Hermione walked over, now stripped from her formal robes and wearing a grey wool sweater paired with blue jeans, her hair pulled back and out of her face, Hermione was certainly a beautiful girl. She plopped down next to Adina, pursing her lips, seemingly holding back a comment.

"What if we went down together," Hermione said abruptly.

"Hm?" Adina said.

"I know you're nervous, scared even. So it helps to have someone by your side,"  Hermione said.

Adina took a deep breath, shooting Hermione a small smile. "I suppose." She said.

"Then let's go, I'm sure everyone is excited to meet you. As they've already been talking about you." Hermione admitted, grabbing Adina's hand and pulling her out of the dorm room.

"They have?" Adina quipped.

The pair made their way down the steps, once out in the open Adina took a look around. There was so much commotion; The redheaded twins She had encountered earlier were laughing, along with Harry and Ron playing with what seemed like miniature fireworks. Lavender and the Patil twins were giggling by the fire, while other students were either studying or chatting with the friends they hadn't seen all summer long.

"Everyone!" Hermione boomed, causing the common room to go quiet with only a few audible whispers left.

"This is Adina, she's new here and sort of nervous, let's make her feel at home," Hermione said.

Adina looked up as she watched all eyes on her, until Lavender spoke up, breaking the silence. "Adina come sit with us." She waved her over, patting a seat right next to her.

"Okay," Adina said, letting out the breath she had been holding in.

Adina sat next to Lavender as Hermione quickly joined them. She gave the Patil twins a small smile, who gave her small waves in return.

"So what do you think of the school so far," Lavender asked.

"Erm, I like it, It is definitely magical," Adina said.

The girls all let out small laughs. "That's for certain, just wait for defense against the dark arts," Parvati said.

"Or transfiguration," Padma added with a chuckle.

"You will love it here, I'll make it my mission," Hermione said, with a hand on Adina's shoulder

And so far she had. The girls were going on about the different classes and who was the cutest boy to attend Hogwarts was. Adina couldn't help but laugh at how Padma went on and on about a fifth-year named Cedric.

"He is the hottest guy at Hogwarts, I swear," Padma said.

Hermione leans in, whispering to Adina. "We should go over to them, so you can meet the twins and get to know Harry and Ron better," She said.

"Okay." Adina agreed

Hermione and Adina both said their goodbyes to the girls, making their way over to the corner where the twins, Harry, and Ron sat. "Good evening Granger, who's your friend," Fred said looking past Hermione eyeing Adina.

"This is Adina, Adina—," Hermione stammered, realizing she never got her last name.

"Jackson. My name is Adina Jackson." She said.

"Sorry," Hermione chuckled, shaking her head.

"it's alright," Adian said with a small smile.

"Adina, that's a pretty name for a pretty girl." George flirts sending her a wink

Adina looked down and away from him feeling her dark cheeks warm up.

"George leave the bloody girl alone, she just got here," Ron said, shoving his brother's knee.

"Here pull up a seat," Fred said.

"Right here." George followed.

Adina chuckled looking at both twins as she sat between them. "Do all twins do that here?" Adina asked.

"Do what." George leaned in.

"Finish one another's sentences, I just notice Padma and Pavarti do it as well," Adina said.

"Well, when you have an 'other half'." Fred started

"Yes!" They both beamed.

Adina couldn't help but crack a smile, as the twins were so lively. She quickly found herself enjoying their company.

"I have a strange question," Adina said.

"Okay, out with it," Ron said, leaning in.

"I overheard some girls talking about something called quidditch, Is it a sport? I played football back at home, so I was just curious." Adina explained.

All their mouths seemed to hang open forever, especially Harry's. "You've never heard of quidditch where have you been," Harry said.

Adina shrugged, facing him, "Not at Hogwarts." She snickered.

"Well quidditch is the best game ever, I'm a seeker for the Gryffindor team. You should watch us play one day or at least come to a practice, get a feel for it." Harry said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Sure. I'd be honored to.." Adiana said smiling.

"Brilliant!" Harry said.

"Alright, everyone!' Percy shouted. 'Off to bed curfew is in exactly ten minutes. No lollygagging." He said, looking directly at his brothers.

"Whatever, Perc," Ron said, slinging his robe over his shoulder.

Pushing in her chair and cleaning up, Adina decided to say something to the small group left downstairs. "Thanks for hanging out with me," She murmured.

"Yeah, you're pretty cool," Ron said, patting her on the shoulder heading towards the boy's dormitory.

"Our pleasure Ms. Jackson," Fred smirked, slipping past her.

"Good night ladies." George sang walking behind Fred.

"I should probably go up too," Harry said walking past Hermione and Adina.

"Goodnight Harry." Hermione Chirped

"Goodnight Hermione, it was nice meeting you, Adina," Harry said, smiling.

"Nice meeting you too." Adina waved to him.

"We should probably head upstairs before Percy throws one of his head boy fits," Hermione said.

"What?" Adina said.

Hermione giggled. "Oh nothing, hopefully, you don't find out." She said.

"Okay," Adina said, following Hermione upstairs.

Hermione and Adina finally made their way to bed, Tucking themselves under the thick bedspreads.

"See.' Hermione yawned. "Nothing to be afraid of."

"Thank you, Hermione, and goodnight," Adina whispered.

"You're welcome and goodnight as well." said Hermione.

That night Adina went to bed with a smile plastered on her face. She was no longer afraid of Hogwarts or the people inside. And She was ready to embark on her journey.

Until next time

HERMIONE WATCHED as Adina fidgets with her uniform, pacing back and forth. It was a rather strange scene to see. But Adina was a nervous wreck, It was officially her first day of classes and she felt she knew nothing. She knew she'd be learning but the other students around her knew more, and that made her incredibly anxious.

"Adina you will do fine, we just follow Hagrid's instructions and there is nothing that could go wrong," Hermione said, placing a comforting hand on Adina's shoulder.

"Thanks," Adina mumbled.

"We should probably head to the great hall for breakfast." Hermione said, "First days are always the longest and we can't go hungry, can we?"

Adina gave Hermione a nod, following her out of their dormitory and all the way to the great hall. She was still finding her way around and Hermione had offered to help Adina whenever she needed.

"Look, there are Harry and Ron," Hermione said, waving at them.

Only Harry smiled back in their direction while Ron just rolled his eyes going back to his massive plate of food.

"Morning," Harry said, scooting over so Adina could have a place to sit.

"Good morning Harry, Ron." Adina greeted, before taking a plate and stacking a mile high of pancakes on top.

"Merlin's beard, are you going to eat all that," Ron said.

"Ronald, please, either chew your food or close your mouth," Hermione said, her face completely scrunched up.

Ron rolled his eyes at Hermione who always had a problem with his love for food. He was just glad he'd met someone with a similar passion.

"Yes, I guess I just like food." Adina chuckled and so did the rest of the group.

"Love this girl." Ron laughed, shoving another sausage in his mouth.

••••

"Exactly how many classes are you taking term?" Ron said as they marched on to Hagrid's.

"A fair few," Hermione confirmed, now catching up with Harry, Ron, and Adina.

"Hang on." Ron paused. "That's not possible ancient runes at the same time as divination, you'd have to be in two classes at once," Ron said.

"Don't be silly Ronald, how can anyone be in two classes at once?" Hermione said as they continued walking down the large hill towards the Forbidden Forest.

Adina stole a glance from Harry not knowing if she should laugh or stay silent when it came to Ron and Hermione's banter.

"I've learned it's best to just stay out of it and let them have a go," Harry whispered, not wanting Ron and Hermione to hear him.

Adina nodded her head slowly. "I figured that much." She said.

••••

"That's it come on now, less talkin' if yer' don't mind," Hagrid instructed, waving the students over.

Adina was in awe of Hagrid's sheer size; he had to be at least eight feet tall, easily towering over all his students.

"I had no idea anyone could be this huge," Adina whispered to Harry, feeling her book of monsters fuss in her grasp.

"Yeah, he is, but don't worry Hagrid wouldn't hurt a fly," Harry said.

Adina nodded understandingly, still fumbling with her fussy book. "Geez," Adina grumbled under her breath, causing Harry to chuckle.

"I got a real treat for yer' all today,'' Hagrid exclaimed. "A great lesson, so follow me."

And the giant Professor Hagrid took off with his class right on his tail. He walked them into the forbidden forest as it gleamed in the morning light. The forest reminded Adina of her and Katie's spot back in London.

Adina couldn't help but smile. "Wow," She said to herself.

"Right you lot, less chattering." Hagrid said, "And open yer' books to page forty-nine."

"Exactly how do we do that!" Draco snarled at Hagrid.

Adina noticed he had different colored robes from her, he was a Slytherin.

"Just stroke the spin of course," Hagrid said in Draco's direction.

The rest of the class moved over to a shaded area shielding themselves from the sun, placing their books down, some students even stripped from their robes due to the heat in the forest.

"Ahh ahh!" Neville shrieked, fighting with his book of monsters who seemed to have a particular distaste for him.

The Slytherins and a few Gryffindors began to laugh at Neville pointing fingers at him as he struggled, rolling on the ground with his book that was viciously attacking him.

"Oh, Merlin," Adina said, dropping her books and rushing over to him. "Neville, here let me help," she said, wrestling to get the nasty book under her control.

Once, Adina, had it shut and settled as Hagrid instructed she flipped the book on its side and stroked the spine, the book released a low 'purring' noise. "See, not so bad," Adina told Neville, handing his book back, getting up, and dusting herself off.

"Thank...thank you," Neville said, waving at Adina.

Adina smiled at him, she understood Neville because Adina knew what it was like to be bullied, and one thing she didn't fancy was bullies. And oddly enough the lion crest she wore on her chest gave her the courage to stand and up and do something about it.

"That was nice of you," Hermione said, patting Adina's back.

"I know what it's like, that's all," Adina said.

"Oh yeah, terribly nice, really witty." Draco spat.

Draco's presence caused the trio to snap their heads around instantly, as Adina follows shortly behind.

"God this place has gone to the dogs, wait until my father hears Dumbledore's got this oath teaching classes!" Draco said bitterly.

Crabe and Goyle let out howls of laughter at Draco's weak insults.

"That's not very nice," Adina mumbled, slightly folding her arms.

"What's that," Draco said, with a small smirk.

Adina closed her eyes biting the inside of her lips, wishing she'd just held her tongue. Adina hated confrontation, desperately. "Nothing." She mumbled.

"Who are you anyway? Never seen you here before." Draco teased circling Adina.

"Shut up, Malfoy," Harry said, walking towards Draco with a frown.

"Oooh." Draco and Slytherin house sang.

Draco strutted past Adina walking straight up to Harry's face. "Defending your girlfriend Pottah?" Draco spat. Draco was slightly taller than Harry, so it was an intimidating sight.

"I'm not his girlfriend," Adina said sternly. "I've just met him."

Draco threw Adina a smug smile before continuing on with Harry. Suddenly he doubled back fear written on his face. "Dementor...dementor," He whined, pointing behind the audience that was watching their showdown.

With gasps and small screams, the class turned around, terrified they'd be face to face with a howling dementor. But instead, all they saw was the vastness of the forest. Adina was agitated now, rolling her eyes and walking away from Draco and his band of ghouls. In triumph, Draco and his friends threw their hoods over their heads, making ghost noises and wiggling their fingers at Harry. Adina shook her head at their childish behavior. Why did they choose to be so harsh to everyone, especially Harry? Clearly, she was late to the game and was still trying to piece the pictures together.

"Hey!" Draco called to Adina. "If you ever want to switch houses you've got a seat next to me," Draco smirked, sending Adina a wink.

"Come on Adina," Hermione said, turning her and Harry away from Draco, not before shooting him a dirty glare of her own.

"Who was that?" Adina whispered, hearing Hagrid start the lesson.

"Draco Malfoy, spoiled little git," Ron said.

"He's more than that, I could punch his face-off," Harry growled.

"Why is he so mean to you?" Adina asked.

"Because I didn't want to be his friend our first year, he was incredibly rude to Hermione and Ron as well," Harry said. "Now I'm thinking you'll be next."

Adina shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing I'm not used to, I use to get bullied a lot at my old school, mostly for these." She said, pointing to the wide gap between her two front teeth.

Harry narrowed his eyes, taking a look. "Not bad," He chuckled. "I promise we won't bother you." He said, pointing to himself, Ron, and Hermione.

"Thanks." Adina smiled brightly.

Hagrid coughed grabbing their attention. "Duh duh duh!" He bellowed, revealing a terrifying sight.

It seemed to be a large eagle but with the body of a horse. It was a terrifying sight, with its long sharp beak and dagger-like talons. It could certainly end a life it wanted to.

"Isn't he beautiful?" Hagrid said, throwing the creature a piece of meat as it rose up to catch it in its beak. "Say hello to Buckbeak."

"Hagrid, exactly what is that?" Ron asked, marveling at the creature along with the rest of the class.

"That Ron is a Hippogriff," Hagrid said. "First thing you want to know about Hippogriffs is that they're very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult the Hippogriff, it might just be the last thing you ever do." Hagrid explained.

"Now." Hagrid clapped his hands. "Who'd like to come and say hello?"

Instantly the class stammered ten feet back leaving Adina and Harry in the front, giving the illusion they'd stepped ahead.

"Harry, Adina, well done, very well done," Hagrid said cheering.

Adina looked around herself, seeing her classmates were no longer surrounded her, leaving her and Harry isolated up at the front. Slowly, Adina tried backing away but failed as Hagrid caught her instantly.

"Uh uh, lassie where do you think you're going," Hagrid said, catching Adina back away.

"Let's go the lot of you." Hagrid motioned to Harry and Adina. "Now, you have to let him make the first move. It's only polite, so step up." He instructed and the pair complied, walking slowly toward Hagrid and the creature behind him.

"Give em' a nice bow. And if he bows back yer can pet em'." Hagrid explained

Harry and Adina continued forward. "Make your bow," Hagrid whispered.

Simultaneously, Harry and Adina gave buckbeak their bows, unsure if they'd done it correctly.

"Back off you two, back off!" Hagrid instructed.

The class gasped behind them as they saw buckbeak began to get agitated by their presence.

As Harry and Adina backed away Harry accidentally steps on a branch causing buckbeak to screech at us. "Keep still. Keep still." Hagrid says

They watched as buckbeak let out a final snarl, flaring his top feathers before kneeling bowing back at them. "Oh! Well done, you two. Well done." Hagrid said, congratulating Harry and Adina.

"Here you big brute," Hagrid said, throwing the hungry Buckbeak another large piece of meat.

Harry and Adina stood straight releasing sighs of relief. "Thank Godric." Harry chuckled staring at Adina.

"Yeah." She grinned. "Close one."

"Well, now you two can go and touch em', don't be shy," Hagrid said.

"Nice and slow, nice and slow," Hagrid whispers as we approach buckbeak

Harry reaches out ahead of me causing buckbeak to snap at him. "Not so fast Harry, Adina make your way."

I gasp unsure if I should. "It's okay," Harry reassured, pulling Adina along.

"Now let him come to you," Hagrid said.

And Buckbeak did, he came right to Harry and Adina placing his large head in their smaller hands cuddling them.

Adina and Harry glanced at each other chuckling, thanking Godric they didn't die.

"Well done!" Hagrid said, as the class claps for Harry and Adina. "Well done you two, very well done!"

"He may let you ride him now," Hagrid said, approaching the pair.

"What?" Adina said, shooting a glare at Hagrid.

Hagrid hoisted Adina and Harry up in his arms, She tried wiggling out of his grip whimpering in fear, while Harry squirmed around. "Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey.Hagrid!" Harry protested

Hagrid plopped them on Buckbeak's back, placing Adina in front of Harry. "Don't pull out any of his feathers. Because he won't thank you for that." Hagrid said, smacking Buckbeak's arse causing him to rear up.

"Ahh!" both Adina and Harry screamed, as Buckbeak sped off through the forest.

Sprinting, he suddenly took off with Adina and Harry on his back holding on for dear life.

"Whoa!" Harry shouts as Buckbeak flapped his wings taking them higher, higher, and higher!

As the pair soared over Hogwarts and passed the quidditch pitch Adina noticed Harry began to slip, fumbling to find something to hold on to.

"Harry hold onto me!" Adina said, not wanting him to fall off.

Quickly, Harry wrapped his arms around her waist causing Adina to flinch at his touch.

"Sorry." He said, quickly pulling back, moving his hands to her shoulders.

Adina smiled at Harry shrugging it off. "That's alright, but look!" She exclaimed, pointing at the black lake as buckbeak lowered touching his talons on the surface of the water.

"He's gliding." Adina smiled at the beautiful sight.

Slowly letting go of his neck Adina straightened out, opening her arms wide mimicking buckbeak's wings as he glided across the water.

"Wooooo!" Adina's shrieked. "Harry try it!" She said, feeling the cool breeze flow through every inch of her.

She could feel Harry reluctantly remove his hands from her shoulders which he'd been squeezing only moments before. Adina was a free-spirit and had no problem encouraging others to let go and just, be."

"You can do it, Just let go!" Adina said to Harry, her arms still spread, feeling the wind hit her body.

Finally, Harry listened to Adina. He let go, spreading his arms wide feeling a freedom he'd been missing his whole life. And for a moment it was just him and the boundless landscape in front of him.

"Wooooooo!" Harry fired up even louder than Adina had, he wore a huge ear to ear smile on his face.

Adina turned around laughing at his excitement, "Yes, Harry!" She said

Harry and Adina got back into position as Buckbeak took to the sky again. The trio hovered over the forbidden forest trees as Hagrid whistled commanding Buckbeak back. The class was astounded when we landed. "Well done." a Gryffindor girl chirped.

"Whoa, wicked." Seamus and Dean exclaimed, watching Buckbeak trot past them.

"Well done you two," Hagrid said, helping Harry and Adina off of Buckbeak's back.

Once down, Adina began dusting off her uniform, grinning. She couldn't help but let her mind wander back to the breeze she just felt against my body moments ago.

"That was amazing, right," Harry said, nudging Adina as they walked back to the rest of the class.

"Yeah," Adina said with a small laugh.

"You know you're pretty cool, how free you looked out there," Harry said.

Adina scoffed, playfully pushing him. "Harry did you see yourself, I'm starting to think you secretly knew how to fly Buckbeak all along." She teased.

"That was all you." Harry laughed.

"Oh please." Draco blurted, pushing past them interrupting their conversation.

"Yeah, you're not dangerous at all, are you," Draco remarked strutting over to Buckbeak confidently. "You great ugly brute."

Draco laughed at the creature as it began rilling up bellowing at him.

"Malfoy, Malfoy!" Hagrid warned.

Before Hagrid could take control of the situation all hell had broken loose. Buckbeak had risen to his hind legs then angrily scratching Draco with his sharp talons causing Draco to double over in pain. The class erupted into screams gathering their supplies and running away from the scene.

"Oh my goodness." Adina gasped, backing away from Buckbeak along with Harry and Ron.

"Ah, it's killed me, it's killed me," Draco whined, cradling his arm on the forest floor.

"Don't you worry it's just a scratch," Hagrid told him.

"Hagrid," Hermione interrupts "He has to be taken to the hospital." She said.

"Oh, erm, I'm the teacher I'll do it," Hagrid said, effortlessly picking up a whimpering Draco, carrying him bridal style toward the infirmary at Hogwarts.

"At least you two had fun." Ron chuckled, watching Hagrid carry Draco away.

"Honestly, Ronald!" Hermione said.

"What? It's his own fault." Ron defended himself.

....

It had been a week since Hagrid's class and the Buckbeak situation that almost ended Draco Malfoy's life. But within that week, there was an abundance of other classes Adina had grown to love. She thought charms with Flitwick was impressive. She loved herbology and caring for her shrivel fig. Divination with Trelawney also interested her, to say the least, Hermione didn't like that class, as she felt insulted by it and avoided it like the plague. And today she attends her first defense against the dark art class with Professor Lupin, the man from the train.

"I heard Professor Lupin was brilliant, and his class is a hoot," Ron said as He, Harry, and Adina walked to his class.

"Sounds fun." Adina said, "Where is Hermione, shouldn't she be here?"

Harry shrugged nonchalantly. "Who knows."

"That girls bloody up to something." Ron said, "She always just appears!"

Harry and Adina snickered at Ron's ridiculous claims.

"What do you think we will learn today?" Adina asks, holding her books tightly to her chest. She was beginning to become engrossed in learning magic so any opportunity she got, she took it.

"Probably about the dark arts." Ron sassed smirking, causing Harry to giggle.

Adina sucked in a sharp breath. "Painfully obvious Ron."

She was beginning to learn that with Harry and Ron, she'd likely get a sassy remark at least once a day. Pushing open the doors to Professor Lupin's class they piled in with Harry and Ron waving at some of their other friends and Adina found a spot to place her bag.

"Mind if I sit my bag here?" Harry asks, standing next to Adina who was shuffling through her own bag searching for her wand.

"Oh, of course, Harry," She said, tucking a curly hair strand behind her ear.

"Thanks." He half-smiled placing his bag down next to hers.

Still shuffling inside her bag Adina felt Harry's presence still lingering.

"Harry, what are you doing?" Adina asked, now standing having found her wand.

"Waiting for you." He said.

"Oh, thanks I guess, but I've got it now," Adina said, flashing Harry her wand.

"Brilliant." He smiled.

....

"Intriguing isn't it?" Professor Lupin began, as the mirrored wardrobe ahead of them shook. "Who would like to guess as to what is inside?"

"That's a boggart it is," Dean said confidently.

With each shake of the wardrobe, the students gasped, fearful that whatever was inside would escape.

"Now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?" Professor Lupin said.

"No one knows—," Hermione began.

"When did she get here," Ron asked in disbelief.

Adina hadn't opened her mouth to speak, but she was thinking the same thing as Ron because Hermione certainly wasn't standing next to her moments ago. Hermione sighed at Ron's claim. "Boggarts are shapeshifters, they take the shape of whatever a particular person fears the most. That's what makes them so—," Hermione continues.

"Terrifying, yes, yes, yes." Professor Lupin interjects. "Luckily a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart."

The wardrobe rumbles with more force this time making Adina uneasy to see what her boggart was.

"Let's practice it now, without wands please." Lupin instructed, "After me, riddikulus."

"Riddikulus." the class chimed back.

"Very good, a little louder, clearer." Professor Lupin said.

"Riddikulus!" The class chorused together once more.

"This class is ridiculous," Draco said, from the corner of the class his arm sitting in a sling.

Adina rolled her eyes at his remark. Suddenly she felt his burning eyes on her. "Only thing not ridiculous about this class is you, Jackson," Draco smirked, winking at Adina.

She scrunched her face up at his sly remarks and failed attempt to flirt with her. Adina couldn't possibly flirt back with someone who bullied the people who were so kind to her.

"Shut up, Malfoy," Harry said, frowning at Draco.

"Stay in your place Pottah!" Draco spat, scowling at Harry.

"Thanks," Adina said. "Is he always like that?"

"No problem, and unfortunately, yes," Harry said.

"Geez," Adina said, facepalming herself.

"Alright.' Professor Lupin said, snapping his fingers "Enough bickering eyes up here, eyes up here."

"Let's talk about what really finishes a boggart, laughter." He informed. "Let me explain, Neville, why don't you join me, come on now don't be shy."

Neville walks forward with his head hung low.

"Alright, Neville what frightens you the very most?" Professor Lupin asked him.

"Professor...professor Snape," Neville mumbled.

"Sorry." Professor Lupin's eyebrow raises leaning in.

"Professor Snape." Neville projects, causing the class to erupt with laughter.

"Professor Snape." Lupin laughs. "Well, he frightens us all."

"Now Neville, I need you to picture something very funny, and very clearly for this to work." Professor Lupin explained to Neville.

"My grandmothers clo—,"

"We don't need to hear it, as long as you see it we will see it." Professor Lupin said. "Wand at the ready."

"One...two...three." Professor Lupin counted down and unlocked the wardrobe.

A shaken Neville waits for his boggart to step out revealing itself. He stood uncertain, with his wand pointed in front of himself.

"You got this Neville," Adina whispered to herself.

The wardrobe opened and a mischievous version of Professor Snape crawled out, strutting towards Neville and Professor Lupin.

"Think Neville, think." Professor Lupin whispered.

"Riddikulus!" Neville shouted, waving his wand toward Professor Snape who's clothes transformed into that of Neville's grandmother.

The class burst into fits of laughter as they watched the boggart Snape dance around embarrassed in his new clothes.

"Wonderful Neville, okay to the back." He instructed. "Everyone form a line."

And so they did. Adina watched Draco shove, Neville, with his un-bandaged arm before she was shoved into the condensed line that was being formed.

"Hey, ouch," Adina said. "I'm sorry." She apologized to Harry whose foot she'd just stepped on.

"No worries, we don't want to be first like last time." Harry nudged her.

"Yeah, definitely not." Adina chuckled.

"Ladies first." Harry grinned allowing Adina to go ahead of him in the line.

"Wow how kind of you, but I'm not falling for it," Adina said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh come one, don't you want to see what your boggart looks like," Harry said.

"Yes, of course, I do," Adina said.

"Well, here's your opportunity," Harry said, gesturing to her in front of him.

"Someone sounds scared." Adina teased.

"Maybe, just a little, but you didn't hear me say that." Harry laughed.

Adina shut her lips with her imaginary zipper, throwing away the key. "Secrets safe with me."

....

"Next, Adina, show us what you fear the very most, then make us laugh." Professor Lupin said, turning up the stereo.

Eagerly, Adina stepped up to Pavati's boggart; which was a large clown with a scary grin. And suddenly the boggart shapeshifted before their eyes into a massive honeybee. Adina's eyes widened like saucers and her breathing was labored as the huge bee hovered above her.

"It's alright Adina, remember the spell, wand at the ready, and—," Professor Lupin said.

"Riddikulus!" Adina shouts, causing the honeybee to fall out of the air flopping onto the ground losing its wings

Along with the rest of the class, Adina shook with laughter watching the massive honeybee flop around trying to roll on its stomach.

"Outstanding Adina, absolutely ridiculous." Lupin snorted. "And next, Harry, step up, "Professor Lupin said.

Adina watched as Harry walked up with an ear-to-ear grin plastered on his face, ready to turn his worst nightmare into a good laugh. But instead, Harry just stood there frozen watching Adina's boggart flop on the ground. He almost looked as if he was zoning out, with his stiffened body and widen eyes. Soon enough the laughter in the class faded and in horror, they all watched as Adina's boggart transformed into Harry's worst fear: a dementor.

Professor Lupin rushes over shielding Harry from his boggart. "Here!" Professor Lupin shouts, causing the boggart to alter into his worst fear instead.

A full moon? Adina thought.

"Riddikulus!" Professor Lupin said. And with the flick of his wand, he turned the moon into a cream-colored balloon that soared, deflating around the classroom before he shot it back into the wardrobe, locking it inside. Professor Lupin took a deep breath, running his hands through his hair. "Alright, that's enough for the day. If you'd all like to collect your books."

The class groaned at Professor Lupins' order. Many students were upset that they didn't get to use the spell, others because they couldn't see their boggart. Backing away and grabbing her bag, Adina watched as Harry stood gawking at the wardrobe that carried his worst fear. Adina did feel bad for Harry, she hadn't the slightest clue that the dementor scared him this much and she felt for Harry, because he, Hemione, and Ron had been exceptionally kind to her. The least she could do was wait for him and make sure he was alright. Eventually, Adina stepped outside of the classroom leaving Harry and Professor Lupin inside. She sat her bag down near the door and took a seat beside it, watching Ron and Hermione walk off.

"Adina, what are you doing, Divinations in ten minutes," Ron asked, watching Adina take a seat beside Professor Lupin's door.

"I'm going to wait for Harry, he seemed a bit down," Adina said, pulling a book from her tote.

Ron shrugged. "Right, and why didn't they put you in Hufflepuff." He said.

"I'm not sure what that means," Adina said, furrowing her eyebrows.

Hermione scoffed, lightly pushing Ronald. "He's just teasing, you're just nice that's all." She said.

"Well I guess I should head to Trelawney's, but I'm not covering for you! I would suggest asking Hermione but she wouldn't be there anyway." Ron teased.

Hermione scowled at Ron turning on her heels to walk the other way. "And exactly why would I? Trelawney is a fraud who lied about her prediction of your best friend's death."

"Not that you were on time to class anyway," Ron said, holding his hands up in defense.

The further they walked away from Adina the harder it was for her to hear their banter, Adina would be lying if she said their bickering wasn't the slightest bit entertaining. Then Professor Lupin's classroom doors opened startling Adina, who jumped back at the sudden motion. She saw Harry walk out his lips curled into a frown and his eyes narrowed, focused intently on the hallway in front of him. Adina quickly tossed her book into her tote standing up and jogging after Harry.

"Harry," Adina called after him.

"Adina?" Harry said. "What are you doing here, you'll be late for Trelawney's."

Adina sighed, finally catching up with Harry. "I know, I just wanted to make sure you were okay, you seemed a bit shaken up back there."

"I thought of Voldemort at first," Harry said.

Adina tilted her head at the name she just heard. "Who?" She said.

"Voldemort, you don't—, Godric Adina you really are new here," Harry said. "But Voldemort he....he's a monster. And at first, I thought of him, but then I remembered that night on the train and the cold feeling of my...my soul emptying, and that scared me more than he ever could."

"I'm sorry Harry, that must have been horrible," Adina said.

Harry shrugged, "Nothing I can't handle." He said.

"Harry, I know we've only just met, but if you ever need to talk to someone I'm here also I'm an excellent listener," Adina said.

"Thanks," Harry said with a grin.

....

Adina had just finished up her letter, she put away her quill folding the envelope, whistling, and handing it off to a rather large and feathery barn owl. Adina hadn't gotten an owl of her own but her parents had promised her one for the next school year. She gathered all of her things and headed out of the Owlery, Adina didn't want to be late for Hogsmeade as she had heard from Fred and George that Hogsmeade was a sight to see. Adina almost made it through the doorway of Owlery before a figure appeared.

"Oh hello, Harry." Adina smiled.

"Hi, Adina." Harry smiled, stepping around her and into the owlery.

Adina narrowed her eyes at Harry's actions. "Um, Harry I think Hogsmeade is this way, aren't you coming?" She asked him.

"No, Didn't have my permission slip signed." Harry groaned.

"I'm sorry, Harry," Adina said. "Maybe I could snag you a few things."

"No that's alright, Ron and Hermione said they'd get me some treats already, but you enjoy," Harry said.

Adina smiled softly. "Oh, alright, well I suppose I'll see you later."

"Yeah, of...of course." Harry stammered. "Have fun."

Adina nodded. "You too," She said, rushing down the west tower's stairs.

....

"Adina!" Hermione said, dragging Ron's arm and walking over to her.

"Yes," Adina said slowly

"And where have you been?" Hermione said, folding her arms.

"Sorry, I was in the owlery reading and writing letters all morning," Said Adina, pointing to her tote full of parchment and quill ink.

"Sorry, I was just worried about you, with Sirius Black on the loose I thought you might have been dead," Hermione said. "A few more minutes and I would have reported you missing."

Adina's eyes widened. "What, why would you think I was dead."

"Uh, because Sirius Black is a mad serial killer and he's escaped from Azkaban," Ron said.

"A serial killer? Why would he be at Hogwarts?"

Hermione took a deep breath, pulling Adina close. "Rumor is, he's after Harry." She said.

Adina's jaw dropped. "Why would he be after Harry."

"I reckon to finish off what he started," Ron said.

"Ronald!" Hermione scoffed.

"What are you getting at, Ron," Adina said.

"Children, please stay close to a professor at all times, and no wandering off!" Professor McGonagall said, ushering the crowd of students towards Hogsmeade.

"Look mate, Sirius Black is a wizard gone dark. He killed twelve muggles and sold Harry's parents out to, 'you-know-who," Ron said.

Adina frowned, tilting her head, as she didn't understand what he was saying. "I don't understand, and who is 'you-know-who," She said.

Hermione looked around them, making sure no one was lurking close enough to hear her words. "You've probably heard his name before in the halls, you just didn't recognize it. His name starts with a 'V,' that's all I'm saying."

Just thinking about the horrific dead Voldemort had done was enough to make Hermione shiver.

"Wait, is it Volde—," Adina said.

With a gasp, Hermione covered Adina's mouth with her hand. "Don't do not say his name, ever." She said. "It's so much you don't know, Adina, and there are even more unsettling things you'll find out about. It's all enough to make you not want to even think of his name."

Adina shook her head understandingly, all this talk of Voldemort was beginning to worry her. But she was still curious of Harry's role in it all.

"Well, what does Harry have to do with 'you-know-who,' and Sirius Black?" Adina asked.

Hermione sighed. "You-know-who killed Harry's parents and Sirius, well he's the one who gave up the Potters whereabouts, he's the reason they're dead."

"What?" Adina breathed.

"I know, crazy right? Harry's had it rough." Ron said.

"Yeah, and I had no idea," Adina said, her heartbreaking a little for Harry.

"He usually doesn't talk about it, and maybe that's for the best," Hermione said.

"Maybe," Adina said.

....

"I think I may have gone overboard on the chocolate frogs, dad didn't mention they were that good." Adina groaned holding her stomach. "Ron, how are you still going?"

"What, I'm still hungry," Ron said, as he smacked with his mouth full of fudge flies. "I'm surprised your mouth isn't full.

"I would be, I'm just afraid I'll burst!" Adina chuckled.

Hermione sighed, linking her arm with Harry's. "Harry you have loved it, and I wish you were there," Hermione said.

"You truly would have." Adina agreed.

"What's going on?" Harry said as he watched students hover around the fat lady's frame.

"Probably Neville's forgot the password again," Ron said.

"Hey!" Said Neville from behind.

"Oh, hey there," Ron said with a smile.

"Let me through," Percy said. "Excuse me I'm head boy!" He fussed, pushing through the thick weed of students.

"Get back, all of you! No one is to enter this dormitory until it's been fully searched!" Percy ordered.

"Ginny," Hermione said as Ron's younger sister appeared from the crowd.

"The fat lady, she's gone," Ginny said.

"How is that possible?" Adina said, profusely shaking her head.

Harry and Hermione stood astonished staring at her blank canvas, it looked like it'd been attacked by a dog.

"Serves her right, she was a terrible singer," Ron said.

"It's not funny Ronald." Hermione snapped.

The commotion stopped straight away as Professor Dumbledore and Mr.Filch marched through the crowd of children still troubled by the painting.

"Mr. Filch, round up the ghost to search every painting in the castle to find the fat lady," Dumbledore said.

"No need for ghost professor." Mr. Filch's aged finger shook as he pointed to a painting further up the stairs.

Everyone took off after Professor Dumbledore to get a better look at the fat lady, who was crouching down behind a hippo in tears.

"Who did this to you?" Dumbledore asked the shuddering woman.

"Eyes like the devil, and a soul dark as his name!" She explained sniffling. "It's him headmaster, the one they all talk about, He's here somewhere in the castle, Sirius Black!" The fat lady shouts before ducking behind the hippo once more.

"Secure the castle Mr. Filch," Dumbledore ordered. "The rest of you to the great hall, now!"

....

It was officially night time, and the news of Sirius Black roaming the halls of Hogwarts had spread like wildfire, and all students were forced to spend the night in the great hall.

"I've searched the astronomy tower and the owlery, sir, he can't be here." Mr. Filch said entering the great hall.

Now, Professor Flitwick approached the pair. "The third floor is clear as well," He said.

"I've cleared the dungeons as well headmaster," Snape added, "No sign of Black there or anywhere in the castle."

"I didn't really expect him to linger," Dumbledore said.

"Should we warn Potter?" Professor Snape asked, standing over Harry's sleeping body.

"No, for now, let him sleep," Dumbledore said, walking past Harry.

Adina heard everything the professors said, as she couldn't sleep. She didn't know if it was from the concrete floors and the lack of cushion from the sleeping bags, or because she was worried about the potential of a serial killer walking school grounds. She heard Professor Snape mention Harry and she only hoped they would warn him. Adina rolled over, pulling her sleeping bag further up her arm.

"Guess I'm not the only one awake," Harry said startling Adina.

"And I thought I was the only one who was awake," Adina whispered.

"Hard to sleep when everyone's talking about you," Harry said.

Adina sighed. "I know about 'you-know-who,' now and I—,"

"Voldemort, that's his name," Harry said.

"I'm sorry about what he did to your parents, Harry." Adina breathed.

"I reckon Hermione told you, didn't she?" Harry said glaring at Hermione who was sound asleep across from them.

"Yeah, she did," Adina said.

Harry chuckled lightly. "Yeah, and now the man who sold them out is after me, but that's just another year at Hogwarts, right?" Harry said facing the ceiling.

"Harry I—,"

" Potter and Jackson," Professor Snape whisper shouted, whacking them with the tail of his robe. "Fifty Points will be taken from Gryffindor house since you two are incapable of not chattering past curfew."

Adina and Harry watched in dismay as Professor Snape strutted away from them. All for talking and now their house would lose points.

"Well, I reckon that's goodnight," Adina said. "Oh and Harry don't freight, I'm sure all the professors will protect you." She said.

Harry scoffed, "Yeah all except grandmother Snape."

Adina snickered, envisioning Neville's boggart once more. "Goodnight, Harry."

"Goodnight, Adina," Harry said with a small laugh.

Until next time

Chapter 3 ↓

confession. I have this whole story I’ve been writing and working on featuring Bucky barnes and a fleshed out O/c; my opinion of course. Nevertheless, I’ve been uploading on wattpad and I’m not getting the response that’s motivating me to keep going. Should I post on here? It’s Bucky barnes x black o/c.

Their ship dynamic is to the right btw.

Date out . I'm a black woman and I strictly date korean men . Black women are way happier with other races. I have never been attracted to my own race so that's why I date out

You’re totally right. I’ve never been that attracted to my own race either, I mean of course if you’re attractive, you’re attractive but as far as dating, I’ve always been hesitant because of the way they act towards us and the negative interactions I’ve had with black men in my life. I’ve definitely noticed that black women are wayyyy happier when they date out and I always encourage them to. ❤️

ur lips my lips.

kisses 💋

“Miss me?”.

“Miserably”.

pairing: tony x black!reader

summary: tony’s really beat up after a mission and your left to clean his wounds.

“what crawled up your ass” tony asks as i waddle into the infirmary.

“i don’t know maybe that i was woken up by jarvis at three in the morning asking me to clean you up” i waddle over to the cabinet and grab the first aid kit before walking back over to tony.

i grab his face gently and look at all of his cuts, “you really got your ass beat” i mumble as i grab an alcohol wipe. i look at tony as i open up the wipe and he gives me a look and i giggle before wiping the cut on his eyebrow.

after at least twenty minutes of tony being dramatic i get to his last cut, “i swear you’re trying to hurt me on purpose” he states and i chuckle.

“tony you’re just being a baby” he looks at me offended before swatting my ass harshly “ow that hurt” i whine and he chuckles “you ass” i roll my eyes before cleaning up the mess i made.

“thank you sweetheart” tony comes up from behind me a circles his hands around stomach and rubs my bump, he leaves a sloppy wet kiss on my cheek making me groan.

“oh tony come on” i try to get away from him but his grip is too tight “tony please” i beg but he doesn’t let go of me “tony!” i giggle as he leaves a another wet kiss on my cheek.

i turn around and face him, i caress his cheek and smile “i love you anthony” i coo and he smiles.

“i love you too”

pairing: loki x black!reader

summary: loki tells you that he is db cooper

warnings: none

a/n: this has to be my favorite scene in the whole entire episode.

it’s not everyday that you date a god but, it’s also not everyday that you find out that the god you are dating was technically is d.b. cooper.

“YOU’RE D.B. COOPER” i look at loki in complete disbelief and he nods. i get out of bed and start pacing around the room trying to wrap my head around the fact that i was dating d.b. cooper.

“darling you are in fact dating d.b. cooper” i stop pacing to look at him, he looks amused by all of this and it makes me want to punch him in his beautiful face. “i’m glad you find my face beautiful” he says and i huff in annoyance.

“stop reading my mind loki” i pout and he chuckles “you are one of the greatest unsolved mysteries, how did you escape with no trace” i ask and he smiles.

“the bifrost” he states and i nod, it makes since but why did he even do that, “i lost a bet with thor” he answers and i roll my eyes.

“loki” i whine as i get back into bed and he pulls me into him, i rest my head on his chest and listen to the beat of his heart.

“i’m sorry love but your thoughts are loud, it’s kind of hard to miss” i look up at him and playfully glare at him.

“does anyone else know about this?” i ask and he shakes his head.

“other than thor, heimdall, and now you i don’t think so” he rests his chin on the top of my head.

“do you still have any of the money?” i ask curiously and he laughs.

“no darling”

“dammit”

“i love you”

“i love you too mr.cooper”
