~~~~~~~~~

1st Person's POV

Thanks to Hermione, My precious sleep was broken exactly at 6 AM at morning. I had no idea why she was awake this early because our classes starts at 8 AM.

"Why are you up early???no--- why are you waking me up???" I yawned wearing my color of light's hair clip, fixing my hair without throwing a glance at mirror...

What??? I have 17 years of practice! I turned 17 this year..but that doesn't matter because I practically turned 11..I saw Hermione fixing her robes for the tenth time, It was blur..maybe because my eyes were half opened.

"we have to be early for the first classes of the year..We have to be on every one of them before it starts" She replied pushing her books in her bag. I almost believed what she said but it hit me on time

"Wait....That's not what this is about....Its because of Gilderoy Lockhart, isn't it?" I asked wide awake now and Hermione blushed

"Don't even answer....I got it from your face" I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room

"Why??you don't like him???He's a powerful Wizard and...handsome too" She blushed by her own words

"If you like A Powerful 'Handsome' Wizard, then like my uncle who actually is popular Wizard" I said walking down the stairs

"Your Uncle is popular..I read about him in Daily Prophet..alot of times..but his face was never shown..why is that?" Hermione asked me and I signed

Actually I don't know myself...Uncle never socializes alot.. he just does his job..nothing else, but gotta say something to this girl here

"Its because..he doesn't want everyone to know who he is and what he does and all.....unlike Lockhart" I mumble the last part but Hermione heard it

"Don't say that!!" Hermione said offended and when we entered the Common Room, we were greeted by none other than Jake

"Good Morning, Honey!!!" He beamed, I could see the energetic vibes coming from him.

"Why are you awake??? You sleep till noon back at home"I said looking away from the bright light coming from him...it was blinding me

"Because it was Holidays!!! Now we have to study!! I have to be ready for the day that awaits for me!! I'll be the first to be in the class if that's possible" Jake said cheerfully like he was planning a trip to Disney Land.

Hermione made a face like she waiting for someone to say that "I agree!!!! I want to be the first one in the class too...You're the only one who understands what I mean" Hermione said walking towards him

"If your brother won't understand you than who will?" Jake patted her head.

I don't know if its possible but..the aura around them was brighter.. I was standing there in the corner with obviously dark aura around me....they are making me feel like a outsider

I hate morning persons

3rd Person's POV

Y/n's mood was changed the second she saw food. They ate their breakfast. Harry and Ron joined them a little later.

"Here's your schedules, second years!" Percy yelled passing them.

"What's the first class?" Ron asked without bothering to look at his timetable

"Herbology, Astrology and History of magic before lunch." Y/n told him sipping her coffee and Ron groaned not looking forward to class

After their breakfast, they were now in Greenhouse wearing all sort of robes to cover their uniforms.Y/n was standing between Hermione and Draco. She was her best to ignore his laughter which she definitely wanted to hear one day.

They heard a tap "Good Morning Everyone!!!" Professor Sprout said

"Good Morning, Professor Sprout" The class greeted her back

"Welcome to Green house, three, Second years...Gather around everyone.." She said happily and everyone stepped in front of the table, closer this time

"Today, We're going to re-pot Mandrakes..who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake roots?" Professor Sprout asked and to no one's surprise Hermione's hand shot up but this time there was a another hand up right Beside her. Everyone was visibly surprised to see Y/n answering the question by her own will, without any teacher particularly asking her.

Harry and Ron grinned thinking that Hermione got competition. Last year both Hermione and Y/n tied with the first place, but this time everyone thought that she might suppress Hermione.

"Yes, Ms. Granger, You go first" Professor said and Hermione smiled that she has to answer first

"Mandrake, or Mandragora...is used to return those who have been petrified to their original state" Hermione replied confidently

"Excellent! 10 points to Gryffindor!!!" As professor said The Gryffindors in the room smiled. "The Mandrake forms an essential part of most antidotes,It is also, however, dangerous. who can tell me why?" Professor asked. again Hermione and Y/n's hand were up. "You answer this time, Ms. Kim"

"The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to anyone who hears it" Y/n said in strong confident voice

"Precisely, Another 10 points to Gryffindor...Now, as our Mandrakes are still only seedlings..their cries won't kill you..yet.......But they could knock you out for several hours, which is why I have given you a pair of earmuffs for auditory protection..So could you please put them on, right away? Quickly..Flaps tight down and watch me closely" She told them . everyone wore their earmuffs.

Harry and Y/n shared a stare and smiled awkwardly knowing they don't look good currently. Draco caught their stare and was irritated by it.

"You grasp your Mandrake firmly..you pull it sharply up out of the pot." She pulled out a crying mandrake. Most of the students grasped their earmuffs. Y/n and Draco stood still.

"Got it? And..now dunk it down into the other pot...and pour a little sprinkle of soil to keep him warm."

There was a thud on the ground. Neville Longbottom fainted. Everyone looked at him, rarely worried and Professor signed

"Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs" Professor said disappointingly

"NO, Ma'am..he's just fainted" Seamus said beside him

"Yes,well, let's leave him there...Right! on we go, Plenty of pots to go around" Everyone grabbed the root of Mandrakes in front of them.

"Grasp your Mandrake and Pull it up!" Everyone pulled the Mandrakes with all of their strength. Their cries broke the silence of the class.  Hermione and Ron shared a disgust look. Draco was playing with the Mandrakes which bit his finger. Y/n chuckled beside him. Draco noticed that and he angrily pulled his finger out and slammed the Mandrake into the pot.

After the class The second years were going to the Astrology Class everyone's face was covered with mud and pieces of leaves. They were  looking extremely mess but luckily no one made fun of them since they the seniors went through that too.

Y/n pulled out her handkerchief and cleaned her face with a tap. She cleaned Hermione's face, she was surprised by the object. Y/n cleaned Ron's face by tapped his nose. The students who saw these were amazed, Draco was too impressed until Y/n walked beside Harry and tapped his cheek to clean his face which made him blush like it was the first time she did that.

"What is that??" Hermione asked her best friend

"This is--" Y/n was going to explain to her but she was interrupted by their other two best friends.

"That is Witch's Handkerchief.." Said Harry and Ron together

"It is used to clean the faces with just a tap" Harry explained

"She uses that alot of times" Ron told Hermione and Y/n slapped his arms

"Don't forget that It save you from embarrassing yourself alot of times" Y/n said replied savagely

"I have never heard of that..it must be rare" Hermione said trying to remember if she read it somewhere.

"It is rare..I think its the last cloth ever" Y/n said while they entered the Astrology class.

Time skip to lunch

Ron was fixing his wand with Cello-tape which looked like it definitely won't work. He looked at his wand.

"Say it, I'm doomed" Ron told Harry

"You're doomed" Harry and Y/n replied together. Ron looked at Y/n with a sad face which made her chuckle.

"Hi, Harry and Y/n" said a excited voice

Before Both of them looked who called for them. A flash blinded them, catching everyone's attention

"I'm Collin Creevey. I'm in Gryffindor too!!!" He introduced himself excitedly

"Hi Collin, Nice to meet you" Harry replied

"Yeah" That's all Y/n replied

'did he say my name too??? Wait don't tell me that he is my fan too!' Y/n thought staring at Collin. Hermione elbowed Y/n telling her to stop staring

"Say..do you think your friend take a photo of you two and me standing together..?" Collin asked Harry looked at Ron while Y/n looked at Hermione clearly surprised by the offer.

"You know..to prove that I met you too..Its for my dad..he's a milkman, you know, a muggle..like all my family has been..until me.." Collin said and Four of them smiled at him.

"No one knew all the odd things I could do was magic, so we got letter from Hogwarts...Everyone thought I was mental" Collin beamed. Y/n and her friends stopped smiling after hearing the last part

"Imagine that" Ron said smiling but realized what he said. He looked at his girl bestfriends who were laughing  until

"Ron, is that your owl???" Dean asked looking at owl entering the hall. Everyone looked at the flying owl until it crashed on the Gryffindor table in front of Ron.

"Bloody bird's a menace" Ron said taking the red envelope from him and started reading it. Errol flew away while giving Y/n and Hermione's hair a blow with his wings

"Oh no!" Ron gasped

"Look, everyone..Weasley's got himself a Howler!!" Seamus chuckled along with many students but Draco and his friends were louder than everyone.

"Go on, Ron. I ignored one from my gran once. It was horrible" Neville whimpered

"What's a howler?" Hermione whispered-asked Y/n

"You'll see now" Y/n whispered back and Ron opened the letter with shaky hands.

"RONALD WEASLEY!!!" a angry voice came from the envelope, it took shape of a mouth

"HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!!!!!I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!! YOUR FATHER'S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK....AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASSED I WAS WHEN I MET Y/N'S UNCLE, ERIC!!! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME!!" The envelope turned to Ginny making everyone follow it

"And Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. your father and I are so proud" letter said a lovingly tone. Ginny looked embarrassed by the attention. The envelope turned to Ron and blew its tongue at him and ripped itself.

The hall was silent, no one speaking a word, Ron dropped his on the table shamefully. Everyone went back to what they were doing.

"Cheer up, Ron...Its okay" Harry tried to comfort his friend

"Yeah..No one remember this at all" Hermione said

"Well, except us...I'm never forgetting this" Y/n chuckled and Hermione glared at her making her quiet.

"That is what it is...everyone will remember..this is getting worse than it already was" Ron said with a sad face

"Oh, Ron, let it go~~ okay tell us what will cheer you up?" Y/n asked him

"Well, I'm the only one who got a howler.. if would feel slight better to know someone else got it alongside with me" Ron murmured

"You want us to get Howler too??" Harry asked and Ron made an unreadable face. Y/n chuckled

"Oh I'm so sorry Ron, but that won't happen. Harry, say, do you think the Dursley would mind you coming in flying car to Hogwarts?" Y/n asked him

"As long as I'm not with them..everything is fine" Harry smiled

"And as for me..I don't.....know..if Uncle is..mad at me or..not?.."Y/n said to herself "But the thing is that he probably won't send me howler" Y/n said in slight confidence

"do you really think so?" Jake beside her said smugly looking at Arashi -a black horned owl owned by Eric- who just entered the hall with a envelope. Y/n's jaw dropped, it was fast for everyone to notice another mail, that possibly is a Howler again.

Arashi landed infront Y/n passing her the envelope he was carrying. It was deep blue envelope  with 'From : Eric Kim ,To : Y/n Kim' written on it

"Uncle???" Y/n whispered

"Did the Princess get a Howler too????" Crabbe yelled from the Slytherin table. A lot of people including Draco and few Slytherins, glared at him which he ignored while laughing

"I never knew...he would be..strict?" Y/n whispered

"He is..sometimes...But it is the first time he wrote a howler" Jake said "open up...the faster you get over with it..the better" Jake said in understandable tone. This was the first time Eric did something like this

'maybe..it was a bad idea to join the boys' Y/n thought taking the envelope in her hands. Arashi didn't fly, he stayed with her, he probably knew what he was carrying, call it experience of an Auror's owl. Y/n opened the envelope and instead of angry voice there was a calm tone.

"Y/n Shizen Kim...." Said the Envelope in Eric's voice, it was like a calm greeting but the Kims knew what was coming, he said her full name

"uh-oh" Said the siblings

"I saw today Daily Prophet and guess what??. My niece was mentioned in the front page... Do you any idea of what you have done???" Eric's voice from the letter was clam, a stranger wouldn't ever know that he is about to scold someone. " Do you any idea how..how-"

Y/n gulped and closed her eyes, ready to get scolded

"HOW PROUD I AM!!!!!!" Y/n's eyes shot open in confusion, her brother and her best friends, everyone in the hall had same expression 'confusion'

"My niece made a GRAND entry in Hogwarts while being a SECOND YEAR!!No one in The Kim Family had never once done this type of troublesome act!! I am so proud of you, YOU BROKE THE RECORD!!!! I always told Jake to do something like this but he never listened, he wants to keep maintaining the model student image he has...JAKE!!! learn from your sister!!!! I can tell by this ..if you're going to be like how you are..she is going to my favorite kid in no time!!! Have some fun kid.. don't forget to take care of your sister..and both of you write to me at night...Farewell, Everyone" The envelope crumbled itself flew up to the ceiling and burst a small fireworks over the Gryffindor Table.

The hall was quite again. Professor McGonagall's disappointed sign was heard from the teacher's table. No one was expecting to praise for doing something like they did.

'Kim family sure is strange' they whispered

Y/n looked at her best friends and turned to Jake. They burst into laughter along with many other students from Gryffindor table and some from other tables.

"See??? I got a howler..how do you feel now???huh, Ron?" Y/n said when they stopped laughing

"That was not a Howler..but..yes I do feel good." Ron smiled

"He is one of our inspirations now" Said George smirking

"You have gotten yourself a competition, Kims" Fred continued smirking as well

"I have to say...So far..he is my favorite wizard now" Ron chuckled

"How can he praise you for rule-breaking!!!" Hermione said sounding a little disappointed "He is supposed to be a model Wizard"

"Wizards can have their own fun sometimes, Hermione. for Uncle Eric....I think it was breaking rules." Y/n said and Jake agreed. They couldn't believe they got permission for breaking rules.

'The Best Person I Ever Met!!' Thought Jake and Y/n together
