LYDIA DEETZ AND THE MYSTERY OF AZKABAN
Chapter 1: From Hawaii to Hogwarts
Dumbledore meditated after reading the letter sent to him, and he was notified of the death of his friend. A powerful shaman who lived on the Hawaiian Islands. The letter was sent by a young girl named Lydia Deetz, in which she conveyed her deepest condolences, along with the letter came a note from his friend explaining the exact situation of how he had met the girl and her friend named Percy.
The director smiled and began to write a letter.
In the city of San Francisco at the prestigious American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, an owl tried to enter the place.
“Lydia, look, I found a very rare bird," said Percy, who was very happy, but not the poor owl that was being shaken by the boy.
“Percy, put your tail and your ears away, and stop shaking that owl," Lydia said, looking sideways to see if anyone was around.
The girl saw the owl carrying a letter on one of her legs and carefully removed it and began to read it.
Hogwarts College of Magic and Sorcery, United Kingdom, Scotland....

In the surroundings of Hogwarts, the sky was cloudy and the dark clouds darkened the landscape giving the appearance that it was too late even if it was only half a day, the figure of a girl covered with black robes was seen in the distance, the girl was riding on what appeared to be a panther.
“Fu, late and on my first day," said Lydia as she looked at the entrance to the Hogwarts grounds with a nervous smile.
“You must be Miss Lydia Deetz," said a small man holding a wand.
“That's right sir...”
“I am Professor Filius Flitwick and I teach incantations, could you tell me where Mr. Percy is?”
“Oh excuse me.” Lydia excused herself and stepped down from her saddle, which turned into a Cat Boy, albeit unclothed, but after Percy got up there appeared clothes that covered his body. Professor Flitwick was impressed.
“What was that?”
“It was Gran felino and Vestuario," Lydia said with a gentle smile.
“Well... we'd better get in; I don't want to have to repel the dementors," said Flitwick with what the professor raised the protections to the castle so that the three of them could pass.

It was already lunchtime in the large dining room, so this was crowded with students. Harry felt very bad because he was the talk of Slyterin's and of course the other houses including his own, because of his fainting on the train. Hermione and Ron argued because of Professor Trelawney's classes, which in Hermione's opinion were a complete waste of time.
“Hey, why Filch is running so fast to the teachers' table," said Ginny.
“To know what is going on in the mind of a squib," Ron replied as he stuffed his mouth with food.
“¡Ron! Don’t say that," Hermione reprimanded him, and Ginny showed her tongue to her brother.
The warden approached Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear, so the director instructed the man and he hurried out of the dining room again.
Dumbledore rose and asked for silence from all present.
“Dear students, I am pleased to tell you that we will have two new students at Hogwarts, both from North America and were pupils of my best friend who unfortunately passed away recently. I would ask that everyone here -at that time the director gave Snape and Slyterin's table a brief glance- treat them with the utmost consideration and respect, Filch send them in.”
At that moment Lydia and Percy entered the dining room.
“What the hell does that girl wear, she looks like a clown," Ron said, but at the time her sister punched him in the back of the head, while Hermione and Harry reproached him with their eyes.
The two young kids polite presented themselves with Dumbledore and gave him their condolences again, and then presented themselves to the school's teaching staff. Flitwick arrived at that moment and was wearing a stool and the coach's hat.
Lydia sat on the stool and Flitwick placed the hat on the girl's head with his wand.
“Oh, exact, precise, but also creative, courage yes, and much... but also goodness, loyalty, a strong sense of justice and effort, and oh yes, the value of piety... what a wonderful heart and intellect... HUFFLEPUFF!” Shouted the hat with what Lydia sat at the table of her house, but she received no applause or hugs from her house because of her rare dress, only the emotional applause of Dumbledore and the not-so-warm applause of the other teachers. Griffindor and Ravenclaw members stretched their necks trying to get a better look at Lydia, after hearing the words the hat said about the girl, while Slyterin's mocked.
“I knew that freak would go to Hufflepuff, There go the leftovers.”
“Shut up Ron, look what Dumbledore is watching us” whispered underneath Harry, and his friend fell silent and looked down at the stern look the director was giving him.
“Damn, not even with the twins, Dumbledore gives that look," Ginny spat.
“I don't know this guy, I don't know this guy," Hermione repeated, alluding to Ron and looking down with shame.
Then it was Percy's turn, who didn't hide his ears and tail.
"Well, what we've got here," said the hat. “Courage, ambition, cunning when it is due, the mind not very willing, but cunning yes... I think you would go well in Slyterin.”
“No, don't send me there, send me with Lydia!” Percy shouted, without concealing and without caring that the others listened to him.
“Young man, Hogwarts is a place where mind and magic are cultivated; you should not set your priorities in the wrong way....”
“NO, NO and NO!” Percy shouted, taking the hat off and throwing it too high.
“The things to be seen, a thousand years ago the students had more respect for me.”
“Well, well..." said funny Dumbledore, trying to put order in the place. "If young Percy so desires, he can go to Hufflepuff with Miss Lydia.”

Already in the common room of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout, the head of her house, told the kids the basic rules of Hufflepuff and Hogwarts, she was pleased with the fact that Lydia had already read History of Hogwarts and all the other books corresponding to the same year of Harry and his friends.
The other boys didn't speak to Lydia, only the girls, who apparently did it just to find out more about the Cat Boy.
By eveningfall the students were already on their way to care for magical creatures with those of Ravenclaw, but they learned that the classes were suspended and all of them went to their common room except Lydia and Percy who went to the library because Lydia had read that the school library was one of the largest in the magical world.
The next morning, the Hufflepuffs held double classes of potions with those of Ravenclaw. And to the ravenclaws surprise, Lydia was the only one to win ten points for her house, a record with Snape for the first day of school.
She found it odd that the ravenclaws didn't help each other in the potions, but Lydia assumed that it was because Snape didn't like them helping each other, but when they left the classroom, the ravenclaws went out on their own without talking to each other, at least their housemates talked to each other about how their potions went.
Then they'd have defense classes against the dark arts with Professor Lupin. He gave Lydia five points for knowing what a boggart was.
“Professor, those creatures look a lot like boggins," Percy said.
“Percy could tell us what the boggins are, "the professor asked.
“Boggins are creatures that are invisible even to magicians, attack muggles and magicians alike whether in real life or in their dreams, stick to their victim and cause discomfort such as depression, laziness, resentment and others, it is the cats who defend humans from this plague and if necessary enter dreams to combat these creatures.”
“Excellent, ten points for Hufflepuff, for illustrating this subject so little seen in the world of magic.”
“Do boggins really exist?” asked a boy.
“Yes, not even the healers in San Mungo can rid a magician of these creatures, once someone has been attacked by a boggin, you need to resort to a cat for that work," said happily Lupin.
Then Lupin had the students lined up to face the boggart, and at first everything was fine, but when it was Percy's turn, the boggart turned into a No World worm, and everyone came out of the classroom panicked except the two kids, Percy defeated the boggart with the riddikulo spell. Lupin calmed down and brought the students back. And he awarded Percy ten points.
Then the class went normally, but when it was Lydia's turn, the boggart became Beetlejuice transformed into his form of Juicifer. The previous scene was repeated and Lupin gave Lydia another ten points for beating boggart.
Both the points obtained in potions and defense against the dark arts, caused the ice to break and everyone addressed the two newcomers.
Now it was the two newcomers who were the talk of the whole school, something that made Harry happy, as he was no longer part of everyone else's jokes.
“Seriously, all those points with Snape," Ron told a surprised Neville, "my brother Percy told me that Snape never awarded anyone so many points in first class.
“Wow, she’s smart, I even heard from Hufflepuff's people that all the books were read before she came to Hogwarts, even the story of magic," Harry reported.
“I spoke to Lupin, who conceded both kids twenty points, and they both showed confidence when facing boggart," Hermione said.
“Is it true that their boggarts turned into horrible monsters?” Ginny asked.
“Yes, it's true," Hermione corroborated, "apparently both boys faced these creatures and other horrifying monsters long ago. Lupin told me so himself, since he interrogated the kidss after school.”
“Well, Professor Dumbledore said they were his friend's pupils, I'm sure those two know very advanced magic," said Ron's brother Percy.
“Yes, your namesake is serious, not like other Percy I know," George said.
Percy Weasley turned around to reprimand him, but Fred took his hat off and the three redheads were lost in the corridor.
“I wish I could talk to her," said Hermione.
“Why don't you go to her?” Harry asked.
“No, all of Hufflepuff's people are surrounding her.”
“Yes, because she's hot," Ron said.
“She is also being surrounded by the girls in from her house," Hermione said angrily.
"Well, I’ll go, "Ginny said, "I want to talk to that cat boy..."
“Shut your mouth Ginny, you're drooling," Ron said.
“Look who's talking, you stupid hypocrite. Doesn't she look like a clown to you anymore? Piece of asshole.” And Ginny walked away to Hufflepuff's table.
“Do you think she still wears those Gothic clothes under her school clothes?” Harry asked.
“If she keeps doing it, it's not our problem, I'm not the kind of people who go around judging people.” Hermione looked at him severely.
“Of course, since you are a mugleborn (born of mugles), you are always judged," Ron said with no tact.
“You know," Hermione said, "I think I'll go to Hufflepuff's table, too. It stinks here like a first-class cretin, you piece of immature animal.” the girl say him and headed for Hufflepuff's table in haste.
“Oh, brother, you talk too much," said sorry Harry.
“I don't understand why she gets angry, after all it's true isn’t it?, besides the one who calls animal, just looks at that weirdo with ears and tail," said Ron lifting his shoulders and continuing to stuff himself with food.
Harry was sometimes surprised at how stupid his friend could be but preferred to remain silent, he too would have liked to go to the girl and his friend.
