Chapter 1

Arriving at Hogwarts

As I entered Hogwarts, I knew it was going to be different. Well, for starters, everyone seemed happier. I followed the stream of people walking into the Great Hall. When the sorting began, I was nervous. I was in my 4th year, transfering in from from Durmstrang.
It seemed like forever until finally, my name was called, "Krum, Andromeda" As I walked towards the stool, I could feel all the eyes of Hogwarts on me. I took my place and the Sorting Hat was placed upon my head.
"Hmmmm" the Sorting Hat was thinking exceptionally hard. "A very tough decision. A very tough one indeed." Finally after what seemed like hours, it finally said "Gryffindor!"
I got off the stool and took and walked to the Gryffindor table. I sat down next to a girl with curly hair, and 2 boys both with red hair. I wondered if they were twins.
Because I had transferred, I had been the last one to be sorted. When I sat down, the hall had erupted in conversation, but then the man in the middle of the high table stood up and raised his hands.
"Teachers and students. I hope that you will find this year at Hogwarts enjoyable and productive. We won't be having Quidditch this year, instead we will be having the Tri-Wizard Championship. More information to follow. With that said, lets eat." And with that he waved his wand and the tables filled with food. The hall was suddenly filled with chatter and clanging of silverware.
I was starved so I start putting some food on my plate when the red-headed boy closest to me talked to me, "Is it true you transferred in from Durmstrang?"
"Yes."
"Did you know Viktor Krum?"
"He's my brother. Andromeda Krum. Nice to meet you."
"George Weasley. This is my brother Fred."
"Are you two twins?"
"Yes."
"I thought so."
"Hi. I'm Hermione."
I turned to look at the curly-haired girl next to me. "Andromeda, but my friends all call me Annie."
"Nice to meet you... Ron! Stop gawking!!"
I looked across the table to see who she called Ron. "Hi." he said.
"Um... Hi?"
"That's our little brother." now it was Fred talking. I turned to look at him. "Hi, I'm Fred."
"Andromeda, but you guys can call me Annie."

Now supper was over, the man in the middle stood up. During supper, I found out that his name was Professor Dumbledore and he was the headmaster of Hogwarts. "If you could follow the prefects to your respective houses now."
I stood up when the rest of the table stood and followed Ron and Hermione out of the Hall.

We walked up several staircases, one of them started to move and I lost my balance. I tried to catch my balance but couldn't and then George Weasley caught me. "You have to be careful of the staircases," he said. "They're tricky. If you like, tomorrow I could give you a tour of the place."
"That would be nice," I heard myself saying. "Thanks."
We got to the top of the stairs and stood in front of a portrait of "The Fat Lady." Fred had told me about her at supper. "Password?" she asked.
"Fairy lights," Hermione replied.
When we entered the common room, there was a lot of difference than the Atticus Common Room in Durmstrang that I was used to.
When I awoke the next morning, I had a moment of amnesia, and then it all came crashing back. Hogwarts, the Sorting, Gryffindor, all of it.
I got out of bed, got dressed, and went to go sit in the Common Room. A boy with messy brown hair and glasses was sitting there. he looked up when I walked in. "Oh, sorry," I said. " I didn't think anyone else was in here."
"That's okay," he said. "By the way, I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
"Nice to meet you, Harry. I'm Andromeda but my friends call me Annie."
"You transferred here from Durmstrang?"
"I did."
"And you're Viktor Krum's sister?"
"I am."
"Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't here an accent."
"I'm Viktor's half-sister. We have the same father, and he's English, can trace his lines back to Slytherin.
"But Viktor's mum was Bulgarian. She was murdered by," I leaned in and whispered "Voldemort." I returned to normal volume.
"So then our father remarried, to my mother, and she's English too, can trace her lines back to Gryffindor."
"What happen to them?"
"They were murdered too. Now we live with my uncle on my mum's side. I went to Durmstrang for a while, but my uncle didn't like what/how they were teaching. So that's why I ended up here. You?:
"Voldemort killed my parents too. He tried to kill me, and failed. That's how I got this," he said pointing to his scar.
At this time, the house was coming alive. Most people wanted to ask me a ton of questions, but my new friends wouldn't let them.
I found George and he said, "We'll eat breakfast and then I'll give you a tour."
"What about classes?" I asked.
"None today," was the reply.
After breakfast, George took my arm and gave me a tour.
"Who's that?" I asked pointing to one of the ghosts.
"That's Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor tower."
"Nice to meet you," I said.
"Likewise. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find the Bloody Baron. Peeves is at it again!!" and with that he rushed off.
We were done with the tour. I had seen the classrooms, dungeons, entrance to the Headmaster's office, entrance to Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin common rooms, and the owelry.
Now, we stood in an empty hallway, talking. George leaned in for a kiss and then... TBC? You decide.
