Once in a Lifetime (Hogwarts Harry potter)
This is my harry Potter but not harry Potter Love story.
Your character: Miranda Charles.
About you: Right now you're ten. A witch, pure blood actually. You have purple eyes and straight dark brown hair. Very special witch even in wizard standards. Powerful, animagus, metamorphagus, parslemouth, and trained in Occulemcy.
"I'm going to play in the meadow Grandma," I hollered.
"Okay sweetie, but bring Axel. Be careful and come back before sunset," she answered.
I was visiting my grandma over the summer. Grandpa died a couple of years ago. She was well over 60 but as energetic as can be. She doesn't worry about me as much because I know every spell in the book. I was a definite shoe in for Hogwarts.
Until next year I thought.
"Axel, let's go," i yelled.
He came bouncing downstairs. Axel was my pet...tiger. He was special though, even though he's two he stays the shape as a cub. If someone even gave me a death stare he would pounce on them before the next time they blinked full on tiger mode.He ran around me with his little tiger paws. I giggled ad picked him up. he wriggled in my arms as he tried to lick my face. I ran outside shutting the door behind me. I put Axel down and he stayed at my heels. I was an only child. I had no one to play with, no one to talk to, and no one to keep me company.I finally reached the meadow, I came to the meadow every time I visited my grandma.
I sat down against the tree in the shade and sighed. I dozed off. i woke up to see a cute white boy who looked about eleven. he had spiky brown hair, hazel eyes, and a white dazzling smile.
"Is he yours, I found him in the meadow," he asked sweetly.
"Axel," I exclaimed.
Axel jumped from the boy's arms and ran to me.He jumped in my lap and purred contently.
"I was wondering what a tiger was doing in the meadow. My name's Terence Smith, yours?"
"Miranda Charles," I answered eying him.
"May I sit down," he gestured towards the spot next to me.
I nodded and he quickly sat down.
"Are you a witch?"
I nodded," are you a wizard?'
"Yep, I'm going to Hogwarts this year, I hope I don't get in Slytherin," he puffed.
"Why?"
"Because Slytherin are stuck up, good for nothing gits!"
"Language! Ten year old present."
He laughed and hugged me. We talked until the sun started to set.
"This Mr.Smith is the start to a beautiful friendship," I joked around.
" I agree Ms.Charles," he smiled.
I got up and asked," same time tomorrow?"
"Of course, I'd like that," he hugged me again. 'Whoa I'm only ten,'I shrugged and hugged him back.
"Yeah bye.....um......Terence?"He was still hugging me.
"Yes?"
"You can let go now,you know that right?"
"Oh right of course," he let go blushing.
Axel started pawing his shoes.
"I'll see you tomorrow too,"Terence picked him up and nuzzled his nose.
'That's sweet,' I thought
We spent every day together since that day. We were best friends ,I had to admit he was really over protective.
Flashback
"Hey let's go to Daigon Alley," I suggested.
"Yeah that's a great idea," Terence said happily.
With my Grandma we used floo powder and appeared at Daigon Alley. We went into Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and got ice-cream. As we exited, a boy with pale hair and blue eyes tripped me.
Axel turned all giant tiger while Terence got really mad. In a couple of strides Terence was at his throat.
"What'd you do that for! She did nothing to you," he yelled in his face.
"Terence dear put him down," my Grandma said frantically.
"No he tripped her for no reason,"he spat. "Apologize now!"
"I- I'm sorry!" the boy yelped.
"Terence, please put him down. I"m alright see," I said smoothly getting up and dusting myself off.
Axel growled but turned back into a cub. Terence slowly put surely let him down.
The boy ran away screaming," wait till my father hears about this."
"Yeah, I"ll be waiting till he does," Terence screamed after him.
I laughed and looked down. My ice cream lay overturned. I used the puppy-dog face on both of them until they got me another one. I yipped and kissed them both on the cheek. Terence looked away blushing. For some reason my Grandma beamed looking at Terence then me then back at Terence. I cocked my head to the side.
"Thanks Terence, but you don't have to be so protective over me," I whispered to him.
During the whole time, Terence stayed closer to me.'So sweet,' I thought to myself.
End of Flashback
I was leaving from the summer and Terence was leaving for Hogwarts.
"Tell me what house you get in and owl me once a week," I hugged him.
"Of course and I"ll write you two times a week," he replied.
"A whole year without you, DAM!"
"Miranda," my mother exclaimed. Terence simply laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll visit you over the winter," he reassured.
"Really.. yay," I hugged him again.
"And you too Axel,"He picked up Axel and hugged him.
Hogwarts Train Ride (1 year later)
I put my stuff on a trolley and got aboard the train. I found a empty compartment. Axel jumped on the seat. I took out the letter Terence gave me a few days ago. I would be seeing him for the first time since winter break. I couldn't go to Grandma's this time for some reason. I opened the letter and it read:
Dear Miranda,
I was sad you couldn't come to your Grandma's this summer. It was pretty lonely without you. I'm glad you're going to Hogwarts this year. Most likely you would be in Gryffindor, too bad I got placed in Slytherin. Oh and I'm the new beater for the Slytherin. I'm pumped. If you want, you can sit with me but only if you want. Well see you on the train.
Love,
Terence
"Uh... may I sit here," I looked up to see The Harry Potter.
"Yeah sure," I answered sweetly.
He sat across from me. Axel ran to him.
"This is Axel my pet tiger. Don't worry though he'll always look like that. My name's Miranda Charles."
"Potter. Harry Potter."
"Cool, first year she says hopefully?"
"Ha-ha, yeah," he smiled that million dollar smile.
"I have to look for someone, can you watch him," I asked.
"Yeah sure," he answered.
I checked every compartment until I found him.
"Miranda," he jumped up when he saw me.
"Terence," I rushed over and hugged him.
I looked around to see three rough looking boys. I looked around nervously.
"Dudes this is Miranda Charles, Miranda this is Marcus Flint, Blaise Zabini, and Adrian Pucey. They're in the Slytherin team,"he leaned in closer and whispered in my ear," which is the only reason I hang out with them."
I laughed ad sat next Terence.
"In a few years and you'll get yourself a hottie," Marcus whispered to Terence.
That was the stupidest thing to say in front of Terence because in the next second, Terence pinned him up to the window.
"Don't . You. Ever! Talk about her like that. DO. YOU. HEAR. ME," Terence yelled.
"Terence, Terence! Listen to me, put him down. Okay, Terence don't worry, I'm here, but when I'm mad then worry, okay? Terence, listen," I slid my arms around his waist and pulled him backwards.
He listened and sat back down.
"Humph,"he crossed his arms and shot daggers at Marcus.
"Terence, I better get back to my compartment, I'll see you later but until then," I kissed his cheek to calm him down. "Don't kill anyone."
"Yeah listen to your mommy Terry baby,"Marcus mimicked.
Oh that's it. My hair turned red and it looked like it was on fire.My eyes grew into red catlike slits. I was about to launch at him until Terence caught me in midair.
"Woah control your $lut will you," Marcus yelled.
"Oh ow that hurts," I slipped from Terence's grasp and punched Marcus as hard as I can. I did it 5 more times until Blaise and Terence pulled me off. I was spitting fire and my hair on fire did not help. Marcus's face looked smashed in.
"Let go of me," I yelled. "See you later Terence."
I walked down the aisle. Harry approached me.
"Umm....I think Axel is crying,"He said.
"What," I said worried.
"Your hair's on fire you know that right,"he said.
I blushed and it turned back to my normal hair. "Did you leave him alone?'
"No of course not, he's with Ron,"he explained.
"Who's Ron," i asked.
"A person I met, he's sitting with us."
I nodded.
Ron's Pov
A girl exited a compartment. I watched as she entered another one down the aisle. I walked in and saw a boy with black untidy hair and round glasses.
"May I sit here," I asked.
"Yeah sure," he answered.
"Did you know that girl- what is this?" I yelled as a little tiger cub started scratching my shoes. I kicked it off.
It tumbled and started crying.
"Yeah her name's Miranda Charles and that's her pet. Look what you did. No no stop crying Axel. My name's Harry Potter by the way."
"The Harry Potter, my name's Ron Weasley."
"Okay, stop crying Axel,"he said again.
"Cool a baby tiger as a pet all I have is this old rat named Scabbers,"
"Cool, Axel stop, Axel." Axel started to cry louder.
"Where's Miranda?"
"You need to apologize till I get her," Harry explained.
"Apologize to a animal no-huh,"Axel started to cry louder.
"Hurry just do it, I'll go get her,"and with that he ran out.
Axel started to roll around crying like a three year old throwing a tantrum.
"I'm sorry Axel stop crying."
Miranda's Pov
I walked i to see a red head boy apologizing to Axel throwing a tantrum.
"My baby are you okay," I walked over to Axel.
"Yeah I'm fine -,"he stopped talking and smacked his forehead.
Harry was laughing and Ron was blushing. I picked up Axel and put him over my shoulder like a baby while patting his back.
"Oh um I was talking to Axel actually but if you wanted to be called baby be my guest," I said trying not to laugh.
"No Ron is fine,"he said blushing even more.
Sorting hat
"Charles, Miranda," Professor Mcgonagall called my name.
I rushed over and sat on the three legged stool. I looked around and spotted Terence on the Slytherin table. He gave me a thumbs up. The old black dusty hat was placed on my head.
'Smart, gorgeous, funny, cunning, brave and loyal all the perfect qualities for Gryffindor but also Slytherin can get you to the height of your abilities. Nonetheless do not fear girl because you will be placed in... GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted.
I rushed over to the Gryffindor table. I looked to see Terence with a sad look on his face. I gave him a reassuring smile and gestured that I would write him later.He nodded.. Harry and Ron got sorted in Gryffindor also. I sat next to a pair of twins.They had flaming red hair and a mischievous look in their eyes.
"I'm Fred Weasley and this is George Weasley," a twin introduced.
"And you are darling," the other one flirted.
"Miranda Charles," I flipped my hair and looked towards the Slytherin table.
It was him, the boy who tripped me a year ago.He gave me a death stare. Speaking of death stares, Terence was now giving him one. I jumped. George (I think) had his hand on my lap. He blushed and quickly took it off. Harry was now giving him a death stare and so was Terence.I gave him a 'forget about' look. He nodded. The feast ended as fast as it had begun. I walked with Harry and Ron to the common room.
In my room i grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill saying:
Dear Terence,
Don't worry about that one. I would never do anything like that. Don't kill him(I mean it) If he did do anything he would end up like Marcus there. You were right I did get into Gryffindor. Don't worry though we'll still be best friends. The sorting hats never wrong but i hope your better than the rest of the slytherin.
Love,
Miranda
I turned it into a nightingale and it flew away.
