Chapter 2
"Hey!" I said hugging Wanda.
"Are you ready?" She asked me.
"Yep," I said pulling out my letter from my pocket.
"How are we getting there?" I asked as we stepped out of my house.
"Loki will teleport us to and from Diagon Alley but will leave us to shop." She replied. I spotted Loki in the driveway wearing his Asgardian attire. We walked over to him. He put his hands on our shoulders and I closed my eyes as I was teleported to Diagon Alley. I had teleported a couple of times before so I am now used to the weird feeling. As I opened my eyes, I saw a street filled with people who wore different coloured robes.
"Wow." I gasped. It was really cool.
"If you pass me your list, you can go explore." I hand her my list but before I could go, I remembered something.
"Wanda," I said
"Yeah?"
"I-I don't have any money," I said. She chuckled slightly.
"I forgot to give you this." She said as she handed me a small bag filled with galleons.
"Thank you," I said as I ran off to one of the stores. I entered a store and it was filled with pranks and tricks. I silently cheered. I could finally get back at Loki and prank the rest of the Avengers while I'm at it. There were already 3 other kids in the store. They came over to me just after I purchased bags full of pranks.
"You like pranks?" A boy with black messy hair asked me.
"Well obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be buying pranks, would I?" I answered.
"You any good?" Another boy with longer hair asked me.
"Well I don't know, everyone says I'm as good as, if not better then my friend," I replied.
"Who's your friend?" The messy-haired boy asked.
"Loki," I stated. They stared at me shell-shocked, then after 2 minutes of silence, they broke it.
"You're friends with LOKI!?!?!?"
"Y-Yeah?" I didn't know if they were taking this well or not.
"COOL!!!!"
"Anyway... My name is (Y/N) Sparrow." I introduced.
"My name is Remus Lupin." said the third boy who had golden-brown hair. He also had a couple of scars but other then that, he looked perfectly healthy.
"I'm Sirius." Said the second boy.
"And I'm James Potter." Said the messy-haired boy. He reminded me of Tony but a bit less egotistical. Just a small bit. I saw Sirius open his mouth to say something but I didn't hear anything as I heard someone call out my name. I whipped around and saw Wanda at the door with thin red mist and bags of shopping trailing behind her.
"COMING!" I yelled back. "Bye boys. See you on the train." I ran out the door with my pranks and my cousin and I walked into Ollivander's to buy a wand.
After what seemed like ages, which in reality was probably 15 minutes, I finally found the perfect wand. ( Well, the wand chose me but...Same thing right?) It was a Birch Wand with a Pheonix Feather core. (AN: The picture at the top)
When we got back to my house, I waved Wanda and Loki goodbye and entered my house. I stealthily made my way to my room, trying not to wake anyone in the house on my way. When I sat on my bed, I looked back at my bags filled with all the stuff I bought today. As I closed my eyes, the only thing that went through my mind was:
Hogwarts is gonna be cool AF!
A month passed and I was officially running low on the prank supplies I got from Diagon Alley. I had pranked Loki so that all his furniture and stuff was invisible, I made Tony's suits start dancing like drunk hobos every time Tony walked passed them. I also made Clint into a Hawk for a day and I placed Nose-Biting Teacups, Toe-Biting Kettles, Dungbombs and Stink Pellets everywhere. All I have left are Jumbo Dungbombs and a couple of Biting Doorknobs. Today I am going to the train station. I jumped up, grabbed my suitcase and ran downstairs.
"When do you need to be at the station?" Eli asked. She got back yesterday from her successful mission.
"8:30" I replied. I checked the time. 8:00.
"Well then, we better get going." My mum said. We got into the car and drove Lola to the station in London. I ran out of the car and came face to face with the Avengers.
"Wha-what are y-you guys d-d-doing here?" I stuttered
"We wanted to wish you luck," Wanda replied. I went up to them and hugged each of them in turn tightly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw James staring wide-eyed at me then back at the Avengers.
"BYE!!!" I called out as I rushed over to James.
"So you weren't lying when you said you were friends with Loki." He said as he tried to smoothly recover from the possibility that I was friends with Loki. Keyword TRIED.
"Why would I have lied?" I asked truthfully.
"Nevermind. Should we get on the train?" He asked changing the subject.
"Er, I can't seem to find the platform," I said. It was true. There was platform 9 and platform 10 but I saw no 9¾. He just chuckled at my confusion.
"You see that wall over there?" He asked pointing to the large brick wall in the middle of both platforms.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Run through that and you get to the platform." He replied. I stared at him like he was mad. Which he is if he expects me to run through a wall. What does he take me for? An idiot? I am friends with the GOD of Mischief and LIES, do you really think I would fall for a puny trick like that???
"No joke. Watch me." He said as he ran full speed in the direction of the wall. I was about to yell out to him but before he could hit the wall, he disappeared. I blinked but when I still didn't see him, I decided to follow him. As I was running to the wall, I muttered:
"If I get a concussion James, it is ALL your fault," I muttered under my breath as I started running toward the wall. When I saw the wall nearing, I braced for impact but none came. I opened my eyes and gasped.
"Told you. Not joking." James said a big grin was plastered on his face.
"Whatever. THIS IS SOOO COOL!!!" I nearly yelled.
"Calm down! Now, let's just get onto the train, shall we?" He said leading me to the train carriage. We both got on the large scarlet steam train. I followed James as he found an empty compartment. We sat down and not long after, Sirius and Remus popped their heads into our compartment.
"Can we sit here?" Remus asked us, as Sirius just went to sit opposite James and I.
"Sure." We answered simultaneously. Remus then went to sit next to Sirius as I spoke up,
"How have you guys been?"
"Not bad," Remus replied.
"Good," James and Sirius said in unision.
" You?" Remus asked.
"Meh... I ran out of pranks so it got boring near the end of the month but other than that, great." I said making the two black-haired boys look at me wide-eyed in awe. "Don't worry boys, we'll be at Hogwarts soon where we can have as much fun as we want," I said emphasizing the word fun.
"So (Y/N), How are you a witch?" James asked after we changed into our robes.
"My grandmother on my mum's side was a witch and my cousins are the Maximoff twins," I replied while absentmindedly playing with a strand of my (Y/H/C) hair.
"Cool, my whole family are witches and wizards and were all sorted into Gryffindor," James said cockily.
"Same here except my family are stupid Slytherins," Sirius replied.
"My mum's a muggle and my father is a wizard and was sorted into Gryffindor," Remus stated plainly.
After that, we talked about pranks, Hogwarts, pranks and MORE pranks. When we passed the creepy river in small boats, we made our way into the castle and up to the Great Hall, which was massive mind you. Then, we were all given a pep talk by Professor McGonagall about the sorting. Basically, there are 4 houses: Slytherin the cunning (or evil), Gryffindor the brave, Ravenclaw the smart and Hufflepuff the loyal. There is a sorting hat that sorts you into your house. After Bellatrix's turn (She got Slytherin), it was Sirius' turn. The sorting hat was placed on his head and around 2 minutes later, the hat yelled,
"Slytherin!"
Joking, Joking. It yelled 'GRYFFINDOR!'. Sirius walked over to the Gryffindor table as 'Evans, Lily' was called. Gryffindor. Next was Remus. Gryffindor. My heart was racing as my name was nearing.
"Sparrow, (Y/N)"
I slowly walked up, getting a reassuring wink from Sirius and a small smile from Remus. The hat was placed on my head and I suddenly couldn't see anything but I heard a voice in my ear.
There is no need to fear, for I am the humble sorting hat.
I slowly nodded my head as it began to mutter.
Now where to put you? Not Hufflepuff. You have the cunningness of a Slytherin, the smarts of a Ravenclaw and the bravery of a Gryffindor. You will be a troublemaker so not Ravenclaw. Hmmm... Slytherin or Gryffindor?
"Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin..." I chanted under my breath
Not Slytherin huh? You would do great there though. Must be:
"GRYFFINDOR!"
My heart worked normally again and I let off a sigh as I made my way over to Remus and Sirius.
"Potter, James"
I turned my head to watch James. As soon as the Hat touched the top of James' messy hair, it yelled,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table let out a whoop of joy as the sorting finished. When we made our way to the common room, I nearly got lost as the stairs started moving and I was too busy staring at the moving portraits. Once the perfect said the password, the large portrait swung open revealing a red and gold common room.
'Tony would love this' I thought. I went into my room which was shared with 2 other people, Lily Evans and Molly Prewitt. Lily Evans is a muggle-born witch with flaming red hair and emerald green eyes. She reminded me of Natasha but with slightly longer hair and with a mix between Nat's and Loki's eyes. Molly also had red hair though it was slightly duller compared to Lily's. Molly, unlike Lily, was a pureblood. To get to the dorm rooms, you had to walk up a set of stairs. There were two which divided the Boys with the Girls. The Girls are allowed to go up the Boy's stairs but if the Boy's try to get up our stairs, the stairs turn in to a slide.
I quickly and quietly changed into my pyjamas and slipped into bed as both Molly and Lily were already asleep. I turned over and did a double-take, two emerald-green eyes were staring straight at me. They couldn't have been Lily's as she was asleep, so who was it?
"Loki?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" I nearly fell out of my bed. What was he doing here? How did he get here?
"Wha-what are you doing here?" I asked him for the second time today.
"I came to see if you were okay which you are, so goodnight." He said. As soon as he said that, he teleported away, accidentally knocking over a vase filled ironically with lilies and water making Lily wake with a start. Molly seemed unaffected, still snoring softly.
"What was that?" She asked frantically.
"Loki!" I whined. Lily looked at me weirdly.
"L-Loki?" She asked clearly confused.
"Yeah, he was just in here. He broke the vase by the way." I replied making her even more confused.
"How? In Hogwarts A History it says you can't apparate or disapparate on Hogwarts grounds."
"Err, he is a god and he can teleport anywhere. Teleporting and apparating are a bit different I think." I tried to explain but failed miserably.
" B-But how?" As soon as she asked, Loki teleported back.
"How what?" Loki asked.
"Never you mind, now clean up your mess, I can't be bothered," I told him.
"Fine." He grumbled making the shattered glass, flowers and water disappear.
"Cool!" Lily exclaimed.
"Who is she?" Loki asked pointing at Lily.
"My name is Lily Evans and I am (Y/N)'s roommate and friend." She replied making me smile as she called me her friend.
"Goodnight Loki," I said getting comfortable again.
"See you soon (Y/N) and Goodnight," Loki said disappearing once more. I just rolled my eyes and went to sleep. I woke up to the sun hitting my eyes. I slowly got up and changed into my robes, making sure to not wake my dorm mates as they were still asleep. I walked out of the room and down the stairs to the common room. I then stepped out of the portrait hole and continued going down to the great hall for breakfast.
