flash forward to seventh year

Heart-wrenching screams fill my ears. I want to run and help, but I can't. My eyes water and tears fall from my face.

"We didn't take anything!" She sobs. Her screams echo around the room again and he takes my hand. My pain is mirrored in his eyes. I dig my nails into his soft hand to stop myself  from running forward. 

"Please!" She shrieks again. I meet solemn eyes and the women shakes her head in a warning.

"Mum! Really, I'll be fine," I say as my mother hugs me tight. My father stands nearby with a tight smile.

"I know Nila, I just- wizards! And witches, it's all so... odd." My mother quickly brushes her blonde hair out of her eyes and my father comes and hugs me.

"But, we are so proud of you, I know you will do great, Nila." My father tells me smiling. I grin back and hug them both as the whistle of the great scarlett train sounds loudly.

"Bye mum, bye dad!" I say as I grab my thank and cat, Luna, and hurry towards the train. I bustle through the bodies of old friends talking and hugging to try to find an open compartment. I spot a compartment with a round-faced boy clutching a toad and a bushy-haired girl trying to console him.

I clear my throat, "Is anybody sitting here?" I ask the pair. The girl turns to me and beckons to the seat beside her.

"Go ahead and sit, I'm Hermione Granger," the girl, Hermione, tells me as I put my trunk on the rack, "and this is Neville." The boy gives a timid wave in my direction and Hermione beams.

"Nice to meet you Hermione and Neville, I'm Nila Prewett." I say as I shake both Hermione and Nevilles hands. We exchange pleasantries and as it turns out Hermione is a muggle-born too. Both Hermione and Neville have lots to say about the sorting and I listen in, eager to hear more about the houses.

"I pray I'm not in Slytherin, I don't think I could handle that," Neville is saying, "Hufflepuff though, thats the house I'm hoping for."

Hermione looks at me curiously, "Well, I'm hoping for Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, what about you, Nila?"

"I mean, they all sound pretty cool, Gryfindor seems that it would suit me," I smile. Suddenly a crash and two boys come bustling into the compartment, coughing.

"Someone set off a dung-bomb in the corridor!" The red-haired boy exclaims, "I bet anything it was my brothers." Hermione, the black haired boy, and I stare curiously at him while Neville just looks sympathetic.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Hermione asks tilting her head, "I'm Hermione Granger."

"Ron Weasly and this is-"

Hermione interrupts, "Harry Potter, correct?" The boy, Harry, nods. Both boys shake her hand and turn to Neville and I.

"I'm Nila Prewett." I step forward to shake Harry's hand, then I beckon to shake Rons.

"P-Prewett?" Ron stutters, I tilt my head, confused.

"Yes, that's what I said, Nila Prewett." I wiggle my hand at Ron but he just stares at me.

"Who are your parents?" Ron asks me, I glance at Hermione and she scowls at Ron. Harry and Neville share a confused glance as I respond.

"I highly doubt you know them, I'm muggle-born." Ron raises his eyebrows and hesitantly shakes my hand.

"Sorry, I thought I may have known them from somewhere." The rest of the train-ride is spent discussing houses and classes until the train finally pulls up to the looming castle that is Hogwarts.

Thank you for reading! That was just the first chapter, chapter one through four will just cover the beginning of Nila's time at Hogwarts and will be more like summaries so the chapters will be a bit short. Starting at the fifth chapter they will become longer and hopefully much more interesting, so please be patient!

I have also included a few songs at the start of almost every chapter that remind me of that chapter. Feel free to listen to the while you read :) 

ENJOY!
