Try to stay as close to the book as possible. Thanks.

Sora watches an envelope land in the empty plate Mrs. Weasley had put in front of her.
Interesting story, how she ended up with the Weasleys. Her father had abandoned her to go into hiding, and her mother had died of what Sora always thought to be a broken heart. Sora happened to be born half a year before the ever-famous Harry Potter, give or take a few days. She was found by a Percy Weasley in a forest, alone and distraught.
She opens the envelope and reads a letter that says she has been accepted to Hogwarts, a well-known Wizarding school in Britian.

Lyra sat in her bedroom, her nose scraping at a volume of fantastic beasts and where to find them. She looked up when she heard the rustling of large wings and lifting her wrist as her eagle owl soared in through the open window on to her outstretched hand. The owl dropped a letter in which the words were written in green ink on her lap. She picked it up and quickly read the contents. Sporting a smile, she watched the owl flying to it's perch, and ran to tell her father Remus J. Lupin, of the news.

Fred reads the letter over her shoulder. Sora writes a note that says "Hi. " Fred smiles as she reads the list of required books and supplies aloud to him. Other people at the table look at her oddly, but she's quite used to it by now. George listens in for no particular reason, and Ginny glares.

Lyra's father, of course, was quite pleased at being excepted into Hogwarts and soon it was off to Diagon Alley to get the required school books and assorted supplies need for lyra's first year attending the magical school for the education of young wizards and witches.

Eventually, they go to Diagon Alley as well. Sora sees a boy with white blonde hair who she automatically knows will be a Slytherin. She has seen him somewhere before.
He's walking into Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions. She figures she'll need robes eventually, so she follows.
When she goes in, she sees a girl with blonde, wavy hair who she's never seen before. There is a stool between her and the boy. She pays Madam Malkin and stands on the stool.

Lyra saw the boy walk in first and immediately got bad vibes from him, she immediately what his house would be when he got to Hogwarts and what his attitude was like. Maybe knowledge like that came from being the last in the Gryffindor line, or maybe it was just obvious, she wasn't quite sure. But she knew that the boy meant trouble, that was one thing that was certain. She also saw the other girl walk in, and the vibes she got from her were much nicer then those of the boy who had walke in mere seconds before.

"My name is Draco Malfoy," the boy says to Sora, almost smiling. His expression is something between a smirk and a smile. "I'm Sora Riddle," she says. "Slytherin, I presume?" "Of course. You?" his smirk grows wider. "I couldn't see myself anywhere else," she replies. "Perfect," he says.

Lyra listened quietly to their conversation, not saying a word as Madam Malkin finished stitching up her robes. Lyra thanked her, and payed for her new robes before exiting the robe shop to continue her school shopping.

When Madam Malkin is done with Sora's robes, she goes to Flourish and Blotts, where she sees the girl again.

In Flourish and Blotts, Lyra saw the same girl from the robe store in the corner of her eye as she looked at assorted quills.

Sora walked over to the quills and wrote on one of the quill testers
"Hello. My name is Sora."

Lyra smiled as she looked down at the tester and wrote back. "Hi. I'm Lyra Lupin."

They end up having quite an interesting conversation, then Fred comes by and asks Sora,
"So, who's the new friend?" "Oh. She's Lyra Lupin. She says she's going to be in Gryffindor," says Sora. "Hello, Lyra," says Fred.

Lyra nodded and looked up at the red-haired boy who apparently was good friends with Sora. "Hi," she replied, smiling.

"My name is Fred Weasley. I come from a long line of Gryffindors. I look forward to seeing you. Maybe we can blow up toilets together."
Sora titters.
