1Chapter 1
"Rachel!" Lindsey waved to Rachel from down the hall. She carried in her arms a
pile of books and was having some difficulty holding them with out them falling
on the floor. Rachel watched as she struggled to weave in and out of the many
people and carry the load of books at the same time. The fifth year was the
year that everyone dreaded. It was the year that you took O.W.L.S Plus all the
homework,activties, and with Quidditch, it gets you really stressed. She caught
Lindsey's falling books as a bunch of seven years tripped her. They laughed
harshly as Rachel helped her to her feet. "Lindsey are you ok?" She tugged her
rob over the line of her skirt. Rachel never wore a skirt and since the
headmaster was her great grandfather, he had allowed her to wear pants. Lindsey
dusted off her skirt and fixed her ponytail. "Headmaster Newman would like to
see you in his office. Right away." Lindsey said as she started off to the
first morning class with Rachel on her heels. Rachel quirked an eyebrow,"Why?"
She asked. Lindsey shrugged, "I don't know. Professor Greenleaf came to me and
told me, to tell you Professor Newman would like to see you." They soon entered
Defense against the dark arts class and took their usual seat in the second
row. Professor Salyers greeted them "Hello class. Today we will learn a jinx
that can kill spiders."Lindsey shivered and rubbed her shoulders. Lindsey never
did like spiders, she had arachniphobia, poor sighed. She knew
the jinx cause in her second year a shipment of giant spiders that were the
size of dogs, had escape and were causing alot of havoc around the city of
Salem, Oregon. Rachel raised her hand. professer Salyers stopped her lecture
and asked "Yes miss Harris?" Rachel put her hand down. "The headmaster wants to
see me in his office." Professer Salyers nodded her head "You are escused."
Rachel shut the door as she smirked. It was never easy getting out of her class
without the headmaster summoning you to his snuck up behind her
and covered her eyes with his hands. "Guess who?" She stopped then grined.
'Liv?" The boy smircked 'Nope." She thought for a moment. She knew the person,
but she was playing a little joke on him. "Hunter!" She shouted. He pulled back
his hands and smiled. She turned around and threw her arms around him. "I've
missed you." She said. "Ditto." He answered. He was a tall person who was in
her year. He had dirty blonde hair and beatiful green eyes. He had just come
back from a trip to the qudditch world cup. "So, which class did you just come
from?" She sighed "DADA. Professer Salyers is the most annoying person." She
giggled."Tell me about it. Did I tell you that one year she took away my broom.
Liv got so mad with me that she had to get a new seeker." Rachel nodded "Yep.
That new seeker was me and th year I played our year got the cup." He nodded
"So where ya headed?" She frowned "My grandfather wants me." His smile faded
too. "I wonder what for?" They were silent the rest of the way until they
rounded a corner and came face to face with dragon statue the was the entrance
to the headmaster's office. They stopped and sighed at the same time. "Well,
I'll tell you everything when I get back to the common room. Bye" She kissed
him on the cheek and walked up to the statue. He whispered good bye and walked
down the corridor smircking to himself. She stared at his retreating form until
he rounded a corner and disappeared. She sighed and faced the statue. "Chigaco
Whitesox." She called. The dragon sprang to life and a staircase wond it's way
up. She started her way up to her great grandfather's office.
Chapter2
Rachel poked her head in her grandfather's office. "Grandpa?" She called "Are
you here?" She walked in and stared at all the pictures of the old headmasters.
She stopped at the desk that was full of telescopes,maps,books,and candy. She
turned her head towards a perch that sat behind his desk. There sat her
grandpa's phionex Tess. She was a beatiful golden phionex. Rachel rubbed her
under belly and she chirpped in pleasure. It was sorta like a pur. "I didn't
know she liked you so much." Rachel jumped as her grandpa stood on the
stairway. He started down towards her. "Did you want to talk to me grandpa?" He
finally sat down in his chair and frowned."Yes. I do." She also frowned "It
doesn't sound good." He put his hands on his desk and asked "How do you feel
about moving away form Mac Anu?" Rachel started coughing. "You mean away
freinds, family, my life!" She yelled. "Please don't yell. I know you don't
want to, but you have learned all the things that have to do with magic here.
Your at the fifth grade level. But you need to go to a school where you can
learn a more higher level of magic and we have found a school for you." She was
angry now. She had to move away from all her friends, her teachers, her family,
and move away from Hunter. She could never move away from him. She could never
do that, unless it was for a really good reason. "Why?" She asked. "Because I
just told you. So your magic level advances." She glared at him "Why are you
doing this to me?" He was silent for a moment. "Howarts has a new defense
against the dark arts teacher, Umbridge." Rachel stared at him in horror.
Umbridge was wanted in America for crimes, including the spider rampage. She
was a real hated person in the U.S. "So, we want you to go as a student
and..." But Rachel cut him off "To spy on her and make sure she dosen't do
anything to screw up England or the minstry of magic." Professer Newman nodded
"Correct. Your plane leaves at noon tommorow. You have enough time for the rest
of morning classes and lunch." He smiled when Rachel britened up. "Go and
continue. We'll send you an owl and tell you when it's time to leave." She
nodded and stood up. She really liked being a spy and work for the government
and CIA, but this mission would be her harddest mission in her entire life.
"Your leaving!" Rachel and all her friends were huddle in a small group in the
study hall. "But that's not fair!" Her friend Kaila shouted. "I agree." Leila
retorted. "But it's only for a whole school year." Rachel dipped her quill in
her ink jar. "A year! That's like forever!" Blake and Tori yelled together.
Hunter just sat there, staring at his paper."Earth to Hunter, Hunter to earth.
Come in Hunter." Blake was tapping him on the head. But he got nothing but a
mumble. "Hunter!" He yelled in his ear. He screamed and fell off his seat
Leila, Kaila, Blake, and Tori laughed at him. He finally made it to sit back in
his seat. He looked extremly depressed. Rachel knew why. She stared at him. She
sighed. She knew how he felt about her leaving Mac Anu and going to Hogwarts.
All of her missions and adventures were all here or her friends shared the
adventure with her. But now, no more Leila to complain about mud or her hair.
No more Blake and Tori making out during the journey. Not even Kaila giving
three hour lectures on Johnny Depp's arm, eye, or ass. But the one that she
would miss most would be Hunter. He was always the one who encourage her and
conviced her to never give up even in the most dangerous or scariest of times.
She shut her journal and put away her quil. "I'm going to the library so I
could look up some stuff on Hogwarts." As she stood and while the others were
occupied, she winked at Hunter. That was usually the sign to meet would
take secret passage and she would meet him at the library. He percked up and
winked back as she left the study hall. She grasped the doorknob of
a huge oak door. She pulled it open and rushed outside as she heard the door of
the study room open and close. She ran down the steps to the second floor.
Suddenly she hit into something. She looked up to see professer Strider,the
charms teacher. "Are you ok?" He took her hand and pulled her up on her feet.
She rubbed her elbow. "I'm fine..." She stared up at him. He was only 17 years
old and she had the most major crush on him. She felt a blush creep up her
cheeks. "I heard about you, that your going to spy on Umbridge. Your disguising
yourself as a student. Man, the headmaster is so clever, Umbridge would'nt even
know what hit her." She blushed even deeper at his first name was
Aragon and he-secretly-liked her too, even though she was 2 years younger then
him. 'Well, i best be off. Good luck on your mission. I'll wright to you. Bye."
He suddenly unexpectly kissed her on the cheek. Her whole face turned red and
her legs felt like lead. She watched a little daized as he headed down the
corridor to the third floor. She layed her hand on her cheek and she lumbered
off to a big oak door with a book carved into it: the library.
Chapter3
Rachel sighed as she shut the door of the library closed. "Ahem." The librarian
was standing behind the desk and she was reading a book on something about how
to get rid of ghost that like to eat books. "Yes." Rachel said walking up to
the desk. "I was looking for something on the history of Hogwarts?" Mrs.
Hardtig pulled her glasses off her face and sat them down on the counter.
Sunddenly, Rachel saw a wall slide open from behind . Hunter
creeped out and shut the passage again. He glaced at her and then winked. He
took off behind a bookcase. Rachel smircked. She knew where he was going. Mrs.
Hardtiig glanced behind her and then raised an eyebrow at Rachel. Rachel
shrugged. "Well, we do have a section on it's history. It's in section 23,
aisle 5." Rachel nodded, "Thank you." She turned around and agasted her bag on
her shoulder. She started off tworads the 23rd section. Perfect. It goes right
to the thought as she turned a corner. She soon came upon a huge
golden door. She opened it up and it lead to a huge room with little booths:
the reading room. She walked tworads another golden door on the other side of
the room. She entered a very large room crowded with many potraits. At the
other side of the room was potrait of a women in a beatiful blue dress with
snowflakes floating around approached it. She shouted "Monopoly!"
There was a low rumble, the picture scooted aside and it revealed a hole in the
wall. She crawled in and the potrait closed behind her. She pulled out her wand
and shouted "Lumos!" The tip of her wand burst into a bright green light, that
brightened up the whole corridor that she was walking in. She turned a corner
and faced a oak door. She smirked. In her second year, she and Hunter found
this secret room. It was where she and Hunter went when they wanted to be
alone. She twisted the door knob and entered the room. Hunter was sitting there
reading a comic book. She shut the door and Hunter looked up. He smiled at her.
She smiled back. He stood up as she threw down her bag. There was a small bed
in the room along with a desk, a bookcase,a table, and some chairs. They walked
up to each other until their noses were touching. "Why do you have to go?" He
asked. Rachel felt tears well up in her eye. Hunter's face changed into worry.
He wrapped his arms around her. She buried her face into his shoulder. They
were locked in this position for awhile. Hunter lifted Rachel's head and their
eyes locked. He wiped away her tears from her cheeks. She smiled up at him. She
whispered in his ear "I know you'll miss me but I'll return to you and I'll
write you everyday." She placed her hand on the side of his face. She sunddenly
kissed him on his lips. She took her hands from the side his face. He stared at
her in shock. He sunddenly pulled her in closer and they locked lips. Their
toungues went into eachothers mouths. He ran his hand through her hair and down
to her neck. To his surprise she was pushing him towards the bed. He flipped
her over and pinned her to the bed. He layed beside her as she ran her hands
under his shirt, unbuttoning it. He ran his hand down her body to her belt. He
gently unbuckled it as he ran his other hand through her hair. He left her
mouth and trailed his toungue to her neck. She wrapped her legs around his legs
and ran her hands down his back down to his , an owl burst into
the room. It swooped down and landed on the desk sending paper,ink and books
into the air. Rachel screamed and Hunter rolled out of the bed. He got to his
feet breathing really hard and sweating. Rachel sat up and pulled on her belt
as Hunter took the letter from the huge barn owl. He ripped it open and opened
the parchment. He sighed and then handed it to Rachel. She scanned it and then
folded it as she grabbed her bag. "I got to go. I need to go to bed." She
started off to the passage. Hunter frowned "Why?" I leave tomorrow at 7:00 so I
can catch my plane that's flying to England." Hunter grabbed her arm "Can't you
stay just a bit?" She faced him and smirked. She dropped her bag "I was hoping
you would say that." She crashed her lips into his and they starggered towards
the bed. She landed on top of him and his hands ran down her back. He unbuckled
her belt again and it landed on the floor. She trailed her hands down to his
belt and also took it off. Both their pants fell to the floor. Hunter flipped
her over and ripped off her shirt. She ran her hands through his hair. Their
toungues twined together inside their mouths. Soon they were completly naked.
He trailed his toungue down to her neck. She curled her right leg under his
right leg and her left under he was back to her lips."Hunter." They
pulled apart away for air. "What?" He asked gasping for air. "I'm flying to
England tomorrow and I'm only fifteen. Promise me that you won't get me
pregnant." She stared at him. "Fine I promise." He grabbed her and trailed hot,
passionate kisses all over her body. Rachel was in total ecstasy. She wrapped
her legs around his waist. Hunter caught her lips in his once more before
Rachel felt his hips start to move. She gasped when she felt him enter. It was
painful at first, but the mix of him touching her and being in her soon brought
nothing but pleasure over her. Soon Hunter began moving in and out faster,
making both of them break out in sweat. Their bodies tightened against each
other until their dams broke at once. They collapsed into each other. They
gasped for breath as they held each other. When they were able to breath
normally again, they gazed at each other."I love you so much Rachel. Would you
go out with me." Hunter said before locking lips with her passionately again.
Rachel's heart fluttered and she felt like life couldn't be better. "I meant to
ask you for a long time, but I thought you would turn me down." She layed her
head on his chest and sighed, "Of coarse I'll go out with you." He smiled. She
never wanted this night to end. Wait it didn't have to end. "You know what
would be cool?" He stared down at her. "If we could do that all over again." He
smircked, could things get any better?
Chapter4
Hunter woke up feeling the cold of the castle seep into his bones. He slowly
opened his eyes to see the burnt out candle on the desk next to the bed, the
only witness of what had happened last night. The thought of just plain being
happy made him think of the previous night. He had wondered many times what it
would have been like making love to Rachel, and it had been better than
anything he had ever expected. He turned his head to look down at the bundle in
his arms. Rachel's hair fell over her shoulders as she slept on Hunter's chest.
He gently kissed the top of her head and stroked her hair. She stirred "What
time is it?" She said in a grooggy voice. "6:00." She slipped out of bed and
started collecting her close. "Damn I'm going to be late." Hunter turned to
look at her. "You could always appart." She pulled her shirt over her head and
smiled at him. "Great idea see ya when I get back from England." She blew a
kiss and then, Crack! and she dissapeared in a cloud of smoke.
8 hours later
Rachel stared at the train station. "I'm going to ride a train?" Mad eye Moody
came up behind her and nodded. "Yes. Dumbledore would love it if we would make
it on time for the sorting ceremony." Rachel looked at him and quirked an
eyebrow in confusion "Sorting?" Moody sighed in frustrarion. So far he had to
explain everything to this 15 year old American wizard. He heard that she was
very powerful and she was an animagus. He wondered what animal form she could
change into? "There is a ceremony for all new students and they are sorted into
four diffrent houses. Ravenclaw, Hufflpuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor." She
shrugged "We were just seperated into our age group." As they entered the
station she heard a large group of people talking and walking behind her and
Moody. "Are we going to meet Harry here?" She had heard alot about Harry from
her grandfather and Moody. He nodded "Yes. We are also going to meet his friend
Ron Weasley, his family, Hermione Granger, Tonks an Auror, and Sirius Black
Harry's god father and he is also an Auror." Wow! So many people she thought.
"You'll like Sirius. He can shapeshift just like you." She grinned "Really?!
What can he change into?" Moody smiled at how excited this girl was. "You'll
see soon." They soon made it to plaform 9 and 10. Rachel quirked her eyebrow.
"Hey, the ticket says platform 9 and 3 qaurters. There is only platforms nine
and ten." He smircked and nodded at the brick wall between the platforms. She
shook her head and then asked 'Is it like a portal?" He nodded. All of a
sundden a flock of people came around the corner. It cantained twin red haired
boys, another red haired boy who was younger then the two, a young girl with
red hair, and a woman with same shade of hair as her children and her husband
was with her. There was also a girl with brown hair, a woman with golden blonde
hair, a man with messy dark brown hair, a boy with jet black hair and green
eyes, and a big dog with dark fur. She smiled and knew who they were. They soon
approached and one of the twins with red hair shouted "Moody, don't tell me you
kidnapped that girl of the street and why did you bring her here." Rachel felt
rage rise inside her. Her anger was unleashed as her bones cracked and her skin
started changing into midnight black fur. Her eyes grew an amber color and the
pupils thined to a cat's. She felt her fingers and hand twist into claws. Moody
noticed and put his hand on her shoulder "Stop. Before somone spots you." She
looked up at him and answered him "I can't.I can't control it." He stared at
her in , the big dog stepped forward." Focus your mind on your
human form." His voice echoed in her mind. To her his voice was some how
comfroting. She took a deep breath and everything disappeared. She sunddenly
collasped on her knees. That form really toke alot out of her. She looked up at
all the people staring at her. The man with the dark brown hair walked toward
her and scooped her up in his arms. He said "Ok. Everyone to the train." He
started off to the wall and Rachel shut her eyes waiting for the wall to hit
her, but it didn't come. She opened her eyes and found her self looking at a
huge red engine that was bellowing every person was out on the
platform and they were saying their goodbyes. The man set her down "I'm sorry
for Fred he is troublemaker. By the way I'm Lupin nice to meet you." Rachel
smiled and shook his hand. "I'm Rachel." She replied. "With out him I could
have never learned how to control my Panther form." She smiled up at him. "Well
thank you. It was nice meet you and I would love to talk to you somemore but
your train is about to leave." Sunddenly, the woman with red hair shouted "Ok
kids time to get on the train!" As she neared the door she passed the huge dog.
"You must be Sirius." She asked in his mind. He nodded "You must be Rachel the
exchange student from America." She shook her head. "I'm here on an assighment
for the CIA." He smiled at her "Ok. Just remeber to keep yourself under
control." She nodded "I'll keep that in mind." She turned to the train and
started up the steps.
Chapter5
Rachel sighed as she watched the station go by out the window. She really
wished Hunter was here. Sunndenly, she heard talking from outside. She quikly
changed into a golden brown cat and crawled under a seat. "Good it's empty."
The girl from before said. "Lets just hope that Malfoy dosen't show up." They
soon started talking about a fight between Sirius and somone called Snape,
something about Harry's dreams, Ron's dad, Harry's hearing, and something about
a guy named you-know-who, whoever that was. To Rachel he didn't sound
important., the only thing important was keeping an eye on Umbridge.
She had sat there for two hours and she could feel herself losing her cat
form. Sunndenly, she couldn't hold it any longer. Her bones cracked back and
she spread across four seats. She had sat under the seat where Harry and his
friends were sitting in. She bumped their feet. Harry and Ron jumped, and
Hermione screamed. Finally, when she was done changing back her head bumped the
bottom of a seat. "Ow!" She rubbed her head as she crawled out from under the
seat. Harry, Ron, and Hermione was standing in front of her. She looked up at
them and smiled weakly. Harry Pov We stared down at the blonde girl that
had just crawled out from under the seats. We regonized her from the platform.
She was the American shapeshifter. "Uhhhhh...hi." She waved weakly up at Ron,
me, and Hermione. I had to admit she was very beatiful. Wait what am I saying.
I liked Cho. But, she still loves Cedric and she already has a new boyfriend.
So, what the heck. "Who are you?" Ron asked rudly. Hermione hit him and the
blonde girl giggled at the two fighting. I quikly grabbed her hand and hosted
her up on her feet.
Back to Rachel
"My name is Harry Potter." Rachel smiled. "I'm Rachel Harris. Nice to meet
you." She shoke hands with him. He almost looked like Hunter except with
glasses and darker hair. She had to admit he was cute. Ron and Hermione stopped
arguing. Hermione smiled and beamed at Harry who was still holding onto
Rachel's hand and he was staring at her, like when Hunter had first met Rachel.
"Ummm, Harry you can let go now." Hermione said and then giggled as Harry
blushed really deep and let go of Rachel's hand. She shoke hands with Hermione
and then with Ron who glared at her coldly. When they were done with intros
Hermione started throwing alot of questions at her. "Where do you come from?"
"What spells can you cast." "Show us how you shapeshift." and "Are you going
out with someone?" Hermione said all this very quikly.
"Ummmm." Rachel stared at her. "Salem, Oregon, I can cast spells from 1-6 years
magic, I'll show you later, and yes." Harry's heart sank with that one word.
But he could stil flirt with her. Hermione stared at her. She had acutally
followed everything she said and had even answered her. "Can you please show us
you animagus form?" Rachel sighed. "Ok." She focused on the midnight colored
cat,or in other words the panther. She felt a tail grow and fangs sprout. They
all stared at her in awe. Rachel lifted her paw and flexed her fingers. Ron,
Harry, and Hermione gapped at her. She sat her paw down and gazed up towards
them. Are you guys ok? They blinked and shook their heads. Even Harry took
off his glass and rubbed his eyes. "How can we talk to you?" Hermione questoned
as she pulled out a peice of parchment, her quill, and ink. Rachel smircked I
have telekentic powers. "Oh." Hermione scribbled something down onto the
paper. Ron walked up to her and pinched her ear and tugged. Ow! She roared
and swipped at him with her paw he jumped back. Harry just stared at her, each
rippling muscle underneath her midnight fur,her eyes the most deepest amber he
had ever seen, and her tail swaying back and forth as she stalked around the
compartment. Harry? He was shaken out of his dreamland. "What?" He asked.
Stop staring at me. That makes me very uncomfortable "Oh, I'm sorry." He
said, looking down at his feet. A blush creeping up his face. Rachel
shapeshifted and turned back into her human state as the compartment door slid
open.
