THE LONELY GATE HOUSE
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 1
A man and woman in green robes walked in through the front gates carrying their brooms. They escorted a young woman in a matching robe pulling a small bag behind her. Headmistress McGonagall met them with Sasporilla Bucket, dressed in her flying leathers, at her side.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." Headmistress McGonagall smiled. "You must be Lilly O'Donnel."
"Yes mam." Lilly smiled.
"Well we'll have to something about these robes!" Professor McGonagall said and waved her wand changing the young woman's robes to Hogwarts black with yellow trim. "You'll be in Hufflepuff while you're here as you'll be exchanging spots with our Sasporilla.
"Hello." Sasporilla smiled.
"Hi." Lilly smiled back and nodded.
"All right." The Irish man In the green robe said. "I'll get ya t' sign this form missus, showin' we delivered the girl in one piece and picked up the next one."
The man handed a clip board to the Headmistress who waved her wand and had her quill sign the form.
"Ah that's grand." The man said. "Good to see ya have yer broom."
"I like to ride." Sasporilla said.
"I can see dat." The lady in green robes added. "Ya look like a bloody broomer!"
"I'm not," Sasporilla said, "but I do have friends who are."
Penny Lane stepped up her broom in hand, wearing her Seraphim vest with pride.
"Have a good semester in Ireland." Penny said hugging her friend.
"You have a good semester in Baux Batons." Sasporilla hugged back. "Don't take crap from those skinny bitches."
Penny laughed. "I will miss you Sasporilla Bucket."
"Fer fek sakes every one misses everyone already let's get er on the brooms and off!" The man said.
"No need to be rude." Sasporilla said.
"That wasn't rude darlin'." The lady said. "That's just Irish fer time to go." The lady laughed.
Sasporilla walked between the people in green robes and mounted her broom. She turned and waved to penny and the headmistress.
"All set." Sassy said and they pushed off and took of into the skies.
They flew in formation, the woman in the green robes taking the lead, Sasporilla next and the man behind. Sassy cast Ocasum Calor and started up her heat bubble. The cold winter winds bucked against them as they flew but at least she'd be warm.
"The winds got even worse as they flew out over the Sruth na Maoile, the area of ocean between Scotland and Ireland. As they reached the shores of the emerald Isle, the procession turned south west and flew above the country side. There was something beautiful and familiar about the Irish countryside. Her fathers family, the Buckets, had originally come from Ireland. They got out after the Dark wizard Colin Nathair started the war that caused the great famine and killed millions of muggles.
They flew towards the City of Galway but stopped just above it landing on Jordans Island in the river Corrib.
On the empty islands long snow field sat a small dilapidated gate house that sat lonely in the emptiness.
"All right girl." The man said. "When you go into town this is where ya come back to, to get into the school."
"But where is the school?" Sasporilla asked looking past the small house with a hole in its middle which acted as a gated pass through.
"If you walk around da gate house, you keep to ta island." The woman said walking Sasporilla to the "Muggles can't even see the gate house. If you walk through the gate however."
They passed through the gate into a winter wonderland. Snow fell in large fluffy flakes which wafted down around them. Droorlily stood before them. It had a large center stone building and two wings sticking out to the sides.
The schools Headmaster, a funny little man with a bald dome surrounded by thin white hair on the sides, and head girl stood in the schools open doorway.
"You made in one fekin' piece Sheamus!" The Headmaster said.
"It was touch and go there fer a while I'll tell ya." The man in the green robes, Sheamus O'Rourke said. "We exchanged Lily O'Donnel fer this one. T'ink dey got the better a de deal on us."
"Oy!" Sasporilla said. "Rude!"
"What's yer name girl?" The Headmaster asked.
"Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket, sir." Sassy smiled.
"Pleased to meet ya miss Bucket." The Headmaster said shaking her hand and turning it over ta read her palm. "I'm Headmaster O'Carrol and this is our head girl Moirah Dinggle. She will see you to your room and .... oh? Where are your things."
"Still in my Caravan." Sasporilla said. "I'll fetch them."
Sasporilla ran her broom into the court yard and cast Ocasum Sequor. The carvan appeared and Sassy ran inside, changed into her robes and levitated her trunk and carrying a carpet bag out. She placed down the trunk and put her bag on top. She tucked her caravan back into the broom and levitated her trunk to the front door.
"Well." Headmaster O'Carrol said. "You are as well prepared, as yer palm showed. We have to change those robes though."
The Headmaster waved his wand and turned her Hufflepuff robes into the standard greens of Droorlily.
"Now let's all step inside where it's warm." Headmaster O'Carrol smiled. "I went fer a walk this morning and found a dog frozen while peeing. The stream an arkin' yellow icicle. It was so cold I saw a snowman's snow balls freeze off!"
Sasporilla had to laugh. This headmaster had a weird sense of humor.
"What house will I be in sir?" Sasporilla asked.
"We're a small school." The headmaster said. "We have seventy two students so we have no houses. You'll be in the sixth year class about eight students currently. You'll be sharing a room with...?"
"Wendillia Murphy." The head girl smiled politely.
"Jaysus yer kiddin' me?" The headmaster said. "A broomer and Murphy in the same room? We'll have to sound and flame proof the girls dorms again."
