First start
As Rae steps up to the great gates of Hogwarts after walking from hogsmeade the realization settles into her. “Am I really going to a school. In a book from before I was even born.” The girl whispered to herself before shrugging. “No chance of turning back now.” The girl idiotically remarks.
The wonderful Headmaster Dumbledore walks towards Rae with Professor Snape and Professor Mcgonagall at his sides. ‘Do I be formal about this? I guess I'll just greet them like normal adults.’ Rae wonders to herself before deciding.
Rae takes a step forward to shake Dumbledore's outstretched hand and kiss his left cheek lightly. She then greets the other adult the same way individually before turning back to her headmaster.
“It's an honor to be here at this school learning under your care sir.” Rae slightly bows down her head as she speaks.
“We’re so happy to have you as a student here” Dumbledore remarks with a jolly good smile.
Snape looks at Rae with his usual annoyed face.
“If you don't mind, why are you so Late I mean school has already been in session for the past year.” Mcgonagall speaks up, her eyes piercing the young girl's soul it seemed.
“I do mind actually, now, i was already sorted by the weird singing hat and im in green snake? Which one of you is the head of that house?΅ Rae remarks rather rudely and snappy.
“I am, now if you will follow me then i shall get you settled in your shared accommodations.” Snape speaks as if everything is a hassle. “Ah yes or course.” Rae picks up her trunk, owl and puts on a fake smile to follow the professor.
Around 2 hours later in the dungeons after the professor left her to her dorm Rae lies on her back on the only unclaimed bed.
“As I was walking around the students seemed to stare… I wonder why that is. Maybe because I'm the only second year that did not attend last year? That's most likely it… Or maybe my piercings. I guess it is pretty bizarre to see a 2nd year with four lip piercings and three nose piercings. Why did that system say I only had 2 ? i wonder” Questioning the system like a fool.
Rae then got back up to her feet and left the room to head for the slytherin common rooms. It's so dark and cold all the way at the bottom of the school so the slytherin robes have a little extra fabric. “That grease ball said that lunch is at 13:15 so I have about ten minutes until I have to get to the mess hall.” The girl just sighs and starts to head for lunch a little early.
As Rae walks through the halls she sees the golden trio walking out of transfiguration. “Wouldn't hurt to ask where the mess hall is, I guess.” She speeds up to them “Hey excuse me! Do you know where the mess hall is?” Rae addresses Hermione granger.
“Mess hall?! You mean the Great hall! Why would you ever disrespect this wonderful haven of learning like tha-” Hermione starts to go on a rant before being cut off by Ronald Weasly “Where are you from? You don't sound like you're from around here? Thinking of i've never seen you. Are you new?”
Rae just starts to shrink away and speed walks farther down the hall. ‘That was very pointless’ Rae sighs before seeing a group of Slytherins not far away so she just decides to follow them in a way to make it look like they're just going the same direction.The great hall starts to become visible and the Slytherins walk in and sit at the Slytherin table.
A few moments later Rae walks into the Great hall and so many eyes turn to her it's like she was growing feathers.
Without much thought she walks into the hall and sits at her house's table. Rae grabs the bread bowl near her and grabs two pieces. “Can you pass the bread ?” A girl speaks at Rae. She just sighs and passes the bowl towards her.
Before Rae takes a bite of her bread she clasps her hands together “Bondye Bon.” She then lifts her head and grabs the bread to eat it. “Excuse me, are you the new student?” a voice interjects her eating so she just puts it back on her plate.
Rae looks up to see where the voice came from. ‘Blaise Zabini, hm’ Rae thinks before responding “You could say that, but why does that matter to a person with no manners?”
The boy looks slightly taken aback “Apologies for no proper greeting, im Blaise Zabini may i ask your name?” He corrects himself and offers an outstretched hand. “Valentine Rae Auguste. I am pleased to meet you, Zabini.”
Rae takes his hand and gives a friendly but firm shake. “Now, I have heard that your mother is famously beautiful, you must inherit her looks.” The girl remarks before she hears a snort from a pale blonde boy, Draco malfoy.
“And you must be a Malfoy, that pale hair is recognizable anywhere, I'm sure of it.” Rae smiles at the boy stupidly, ‘I have to get close to these people to accomplish my mission.’ “Of course and I have to say I’ve never heard of your family so where are you from? It sounds french.” Malfoys kind of annoying voice to Rae says matter of factly.
“Haiti, it's part of an island in the Caribbean. I'm from the most influential family there. I thought that you know your father makes trades and deals with us quite often.” Rae speaks quite firmly with a condescending tone as the blonde boy's face grows half mad and half amused.
“Ha! She sure got you Draco.” A black haired girl with a bob spoke up from right beside Rae, Pansy Parkinson. “I'm Pansy Parkinson, You can just call me Pansy though. Everyone does.” Pansy grabs Raes hand. “You can hang with me, i'll show you the ropes, Okay auguste?”
Rae just smiles and nods her head before noticing something. “You can just call me Rae, I prefer my middle name.”
Pansy smiles before turning to her friends “She's gonna hang with us ‘kay? I just need another girl to talk to. There's also two other boys in our group but they're doing some work for Mr Filch, the caretaker of the school, as punishment. So you can see why I'm so desperate.” “No complaints from me.” Zabini speaks up. “I guess she can hang with us.”
For lunch Rae just nods and goes along with every conversation that Zabini Malfoy and Parkinson had that period. Once lunch starts to end Pansy get up and pulls Rae along with her, Both Malfoy and Zabini behind but following steadily.
“So you can walk us to our next class before you go on your way right?” Rae just nods. “Okay so first off we don't like that Harry potter guy or his little lackeys. You can talk to them if you want but just so you know you shouldn't hang out with them.” The four eventually encounter Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle on their way to divination so their group becomes six.
“Here it is , Thanks for walking us. Meet us at the courtyard in 1 hour. That's when school ends, Okay?” Pansy remarks before going up to the classroom. “Bye guys see ya.” Rae speaks to the group before going to explore the school.
Rae goes through the winding halls of the school seeing talking paintings and ghosts. About 30 minutes pass before Rae starts to head towards a hut near the forbidden forest. “This should be Hagrid's hut, right?” She speaks to herself staring at the hut and making a mental note of where it is for later.
30 more minutes pass and Rae is sitting reading a book on ‘potions and how to make them’ in the courtyard. “Aren't I supposed to be a natural at this? According to the system at least. Can I even trust the system?” The foolish question lingers in the air as she sees five figures moving towards her and she shuts the book, setting it on her lap.
When will Rae realize not to question the System? What an idiotic girl.
