Andromeda's POV
I was sitting on my daybed with a book in my hands, it was two weeks before school started. I looked up at my clock, it was 4:30 am. I couldn't sleep last night so I grabbed a couple books and went over to my daybed. I have been over here since 10 last night. I sighed, picked up my books, went over to my book shelf, and put the books back where they belong. I walked over to my bed, got under the covers, and Midnight hopped on my bed. She snuggled into my chest before falling asleep. I fell asleep soon after.
(I should've put this in the last chapter, but oh well. You have a schedule for the dogs to follow. Each day they switch out which dog sleeps with you.
Mon-Tyson
Tues-Midnight
Wends- Fenris
Thurs-Jethro
Fri-Akio
Sat-Siku
Sun-all)
I woke up on my back with Midnight's paws on my chest and him licking my face. I pushed him off of me and he just nuzzled into my neck. I laughed before looking at the time, it was 10 am. I looked at Midnight before clapping my hands. My chandelier illuminated my room and all of the dogs let out a soft bark in annoyance. I shook my head, got out of bed, walked over to my bathroom, and turned to them, "Your fine, it's day time anyway." They let out another bark. I walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth before heading over to my closet. I opened the door and walked over to the side with my skirts. I picked out a leather skirt, a studded crop top, a pair of my snake heels, a dragon cross necklace, a choker w/ chains, Harley Davidson jacket, and my black parasol. After I was done I walked out of my closet and out of my door. As soon as I walked downstairs I noticed my parents were talking. I slowed down my steps as I neared the living room, so I wouldn't make so much notice, "David we have to ask her about Hogwarts, I mean she literally just got a letter from the headmaster." I heard my father sigh, "I know, but come on we knew this would happen if we forced her to move with us. Plus Hogwarts is the best wizarding school, and she might make some real friends as she is finishing her last two years." I made a viewing portal threw the wall, I saw my mother nod, "That is true but we still have to ask her." My father nodded as well and I made the viewing portal disappear. I walked around the wall and my parents turned to face me before handing me the letter.
Dear Ms. A. Cassiel,
I am pleased to inform you that because of you and your parents moving to England from America, that you are accepted to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I hope to see you at start of term August 1st, but I already know your coming since you already told me. Behind this page is and enclosed list of everything you will need to start your 6th year.
Sincerely,
Professor Albus Dumbledore
I smiled, he does ramble a lot. I turned the page and there was a list of materials that I will need. Then I remembered something, and looked up, "Why aren't you guys at work?" They looked at each other, "We knew you were getting your letter this week so we took the next few days off." I raised my eyebrow, then shrugged my shoulders, "So are we going to head to Diagon Alley or not?" My father nodded, stood up, and walked in front of me, "Go make an easy to read list." I nodded, walked upstairs, and went into my room. I grabbed one of the journals, that Magnus gave me, and sat down at my desk with the letter in my other hand. I grabbed one of my pens, and started copying down the list that Dumbledore sent me. I was done in about five minutes.

I closed my book and went out of my room. I walked downstairs, and I was about to walk into the living room when I heard voices, "David, what are we suppose to do, I mean she is getting private letters from Albus Dumbledore. Is she seeing him?" I walked into the room, "I am not seeing Dumbledore, he showed up to request that I join Hogwarts. He is also the one that told me about your job offer. Now if either of you assume I am dating an older man again I will slap you all the way to next week." They had scared looks on their faces before my dad noticed my journal in my hand, "So, your ready then? Lets go before it becomes to late." I nodded and we walked to the door. I grabbed my parasol and we walked out the door. We started walking down the street, and after a while we reached the street we were heading to and walked up to a building with a blank sign. When we got to the door the sign changed and said The Leaky Cauldron. Because my hair covers most of my face it hid my smirk. We walked inside and everyone turned to us and started whispering a bunch. I heard someone clear their throat, I turned towards the bar tender, and raised my eyebrow. He looked between me and my father, "Who 're ye? 'nd what 're ye doin' in my bar?" I looked at the rest of the people, then my dad, then back at the bar tender, "My name is Andromeda Cassiel, me and my father..." I pointed toward my father, "Have just moved here from America, I am actually here to buy my school supplies." He nodded and pointed towards the back door. I nodded and walked to the door with my father following. As soon as we got through the door all I saw was a brick wall. I sighed and held up my hand, trying to imagine what the door would look like. As soon as I had the image in my head the bricks started moving to the side and form the doorway. After about thirty seconds the bricks were all to the sides and we walked through. As soon as we were on the other side I lowered my hand and the doorway closed itself. We were walking down the street and I noticed a guy with his head down. He had black hair, he was accompanied by a girl with brown hair and a guy with red hair. The two boys had their heads down as if not to draw attention to themselves and the girl had her head raised high. I turned to my father, "Wait by the entrance I will get what I need, then we will go. But first I need to talk to some people." He nodded and walked away. I walked toward the teens that I saw before, but they stopped in front of the robe store. I walked up to them and smiled, "Hi." They looked at me, and the girl spoke, "Hi." I smiled at all of them, "My name is Andromeda, I'm a transfer student. I just moved to England from America." I saw the guy with red hair look up, "I'm Ron, Ron Weasley. I heard you were coming, my dad works in the Ministry." I smiled, "My parents do too." I looked between the girl with light brown hair and the boy with black hair, "Now who are you two?" The boy with black hair looked up, "My name is Harry Potter." He held out his hand, "It's nice to meet you Harry." He smiled at me and I smiled back, we let go of each others hands and I turned to the girl, "Now who are you?" She smiled at me, "Hermione Granger." I smiled at Hermione before turning to face all three of them, "I have to grab my stuff, I will see you three at school." They nodded and I walked into the robe shop. There was a boy with blonde hair standing on one of the pedestals and a girl with short brown hair standing beside him looking bored out of her mind. I rolled my eyes and hit the bell on the counter. The woman who was fitting the blonde boy turned her head to me before going back to what she was doing, "Go stand on the other pedestal I will be over as soon as I am done with Mr. Malfoy." I walked over to the pedestal, before the name Malfoy hit me, and I turned to him, "Malfoy? Your Lucius Malfoy's son aren't you?" He turned his head towards me, "Yes I am, now who are you and how do you know my name?" I smiled, "Andromeda Cassiel, my parents work with your father in the Ministry. Their aurors too." He smirked at me and I smirked back but my hair covered it, "So your a pureblood, yes?" I nodded, "Yes I am, but I don't recall getting your first name?" His smirk grew wider, "My apologies Andromeda, my name is Draco, Draco Malfoy. Most people call me Malfoy, but you can call me Draco." I heard the girl beside him growl, "Dracyyy, stop talking to the half blood." I glared at her then stepped down off the pedestal and stood in front of her, "Half-blood? Half-blood!? I am no half-blood! If you knew any better, witch obviously you don't, I am in a year higher than you. I am going into my 6th year, you are going into your 5th. Now tell me, do you know that your grandfather is actually a muggle?" She went to slap me but I grabbed her arm, "Shut up!" I laughed, "Next time you try and fight me, make sure you know how to use hand magic." I smirked and walked back to the pedestal. I stood on top and turned to the mirror. I saw Draco look at me and smirk, I smirked back and the girl stormed out. I heard Draco breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Andromeda." I tuned my head to him, "Your welcome, but please call me Andy." He smiled at me instead of smirking, "Thank you, Andy." I smiled and turned toward the woman, "Do you need any help, I do know my way around fabric." She looked up at me in shock and then turned back to Draco, "Sure." I smiled and snapped my fingers and the fabric pinned it self before going to the sewing machine. The woman turned to me shocked, "How? How did you do that? Who taught you?" I chuckled a little, "My parents were never around so I went to stay with my godfather, Magnus Bane. He taught me hand magic." The woman gasped, "Next time you see your godfather, tell him Madame Maxwell said hello." I nodded and Draco hopped off the pedestal, and walked over to me and grabbed my hand, "I will see you at school, Andy." He kissed my fingers then walked out of the door. I turned to Maxwell and she was about to walk over to me before I held up my hand, "Just measure me I will put the pins in it." She nodded and started measuring me.
