1. the birthday
---------------

I Thought My Life Was Normal…

Haley Prickford was at home with her parents on the day that changed her life forever. She was
10 years old. Unlike her either parents she had busy black hair and brown eyes. Her mother had
brown eyes and blonde straight hair. Her father had messy reddish hair and green eyes. They lived
on the outskirts of London. Her grandparents, Uncle Ricky, Aunt Lara, Aunt Grace and Uncle Devon
were coming today for her father’s birthday (29). She always looked forward to it. It was a day
that even though it was her father’s birthday, she got presents from everyone. Actually when she
thought about it everyone got presents. It might have just been her but it seemed that almost
everyone was happy today, people she met on the street, and people she knew. But this one birthday
was different then any of his other birthdays, but no one was expecting it to be.

At precisely 10:00 in the morning every one began to arrive. On and off people they knew dropped
by. Fred and George would show up and make everyone laugh. Mr. Moody would come with his bowler’s
hat covering his one eye as always and he would make all the adults jump. She thought his name was
just the nickname people gave him for being really moody- which was at times. Ms. T would come with
her clumsiness and everyone knew when she got there because the coat hanger would make a loud
crash. She wasn’t sure what the “T” stood for. Uncle Ricky once told her that it stood for
“Trouble”. Most of them stopped by a lot of other days too. They came through with smiling faces
all happy to be there. It was always a joyous time. The first thing that Uncle Ricky said as he got
in the door was “Where’s the food? Helena! Where are you with the food??? Or is it HAVEN that has
the food?? If you don’t hurry up I’m going to have to eat this munchkin by the door!!!” he said as
he gestured toward Haley as she ran laughing and giggling away and he tried to catch up to her in
at a slower pace. Haven was her father’s name and Helena was her mother’s name.

“Hey!!! How are you guys doing?” Haley’s father said as he came down the steps quickly followed
by her mother.

“Fine!! As I’m sure you heard their off!!” Aunt Lara said giving Helena and Haven a quick hug.
“Where should I put this?”

“Oh, we told you, you didn’t need to bring anything, but since you did you can just put it in
the fridge!” said Helena. “Is mom coming with Charlie??” She asked referring to Haley’s cousin who
was the same age as she was.

“Yea, they’ll be here in a couple minutes. They are bringing his luggage and theirs.” It was a
tradition that everyone slept over at the Prickford’s house that night. “Ours is in the room
already as usual.” Just then Haley and Uncle Ricky came back into the room, Haley ran to her mom
and called base. Moments after, the air was filled with a short *ding dong Grace and Devon.*
It was their doorbell but it called the people’s names and rhymed them with a ring or ding or some
ring.

“Merlin, I hate that thing!! You never can surprise anybody in this bloody house!” Uncle Devon’s
cold voice called out before a ice cold hello.

“And how exactly were you going to surprise us?? You do know who you’re talking to???” Her
father said half laughing but with a smirk. Supposedly, it was an inside joke that she didn’t get.
There always was this sarcasm between her father and Uncle Ricky, and Uncle Devon.

“Hey, everybody!!! Sorry were late. We got…side tracked!” called Aunt Grace from the foyer into
the living room where they all were currently everyone in the room besides Haley who ran towards
her aunt and uncle, rolled their eyes. “Where is mom and dad and Helena’s parents?” asked Grace
looking around.

“Oh, they said they were going to be late.” Helena replied as the door bell rang again, *ding
dong G-----.* But then the adults started speaking loudly over the door bell. That meant one
thing. It meant that her grandparents had arrived.

“Hello darling, How are you? How was summer so far? Do you want some candy? Here take this don’t
tell your mom-mom or mom, ok?” Were all the questions she asked and things she was told. But after
a while all the grown ups began to catch up with each other, and play chess. So she went over and
sat on her fathers match, and cheered him on in chess as he versed Uncle Ricky. “Well she is
definitely Helena’s and your child!!” He would say after she started to fight with him with her
vocabulary. Which, was quite advanced for a 10 year old. But then Aunt Grace closed her eyes and
‘looked like a zombie’ as Haley put it. Everyone became quiet.

*“He will rise out of the shadows like a bird into the air. His symbol shall show. He cannot
hide any more. It is time to return!!*

*It is time save again, time to be in public eye. They will be back and even as powerful as
before. **His** son shall wreck the veil of peace currently resting over us.*

*He might be more or he might be less. Prepare! The third shall begin soon!*

*They must fight again if there is a chance of succeeding.*

*Yet there is another that shall rise to help. She will be of great importance for the next
generation.*

*She will have to choose sides and that will decide all. She might just fall for wrong. Youth
is just a number, don’t judge by that!*

*Important, powerful and dangerous she lies in the dark about all… He will rise… out of the
shadows…”*

She ‘awoke’ with that only to fall back into Uncle Devon’s arms, exhausted. Everyone stared in
wonder and confusion. Until a small voice asked the question that she was left of the answer. “What
just happened?? What did she do?”

“Now it doesn’t have to mean what you think it means, honey…It could be anyone…” said her father
unsurely trying to comfort Helena, who looked like she was on the brink of tears.

“Daddy, why is mummy crying?”

“Grown up stuff honey.”

“Oh…”

“Was it real?” was the question that the adults were all asking through their eyes to one
another. Some of the faces in the room showed sorrow others pure raw pain, over come with memories.
Some of them were wonder and others were in combination with all three. “Who?” was the low murmured
that escaped barely audible from uncle Devon. “Who’s son? Who is she?”

“You forgot one-who will rise and cannot hide anymore?” murmured Uncle Ricky, though by the tone
of his voice, he already knew but didn’t want to admit it.

“Well, *Prickford*, you’re up!!” Uncle Devon said emphasizing the word Prickford for an
unknown reason to Haley. She wasn’t sure what anything meant but she knew it was dead serious and
so she kept her unanswered questions to herself.

“Well, I’ll go put on a pot of tea!” said Haley’s grandmother, just trying to escape the room
with out a tear falling from her face.

“Let me help!” cried Helena and Grace. They were shortly followed by a nod from Lara and her
other grandmother, as all the women escaped the eerie silence of the room.

Many hours had past since then and it was nightfall Charlie and Haley were playing a game, Lara,
Grace, and Helena were talking in the corner, and the grandmothers in another and the men were in a
huddle in the opposite of the girls. Then Haley’s father cleared his throat, “Umm… We’re going out
to play *football*. Don’t worry, will be careful.” He said as they ran out the door. The girls
rolled their eyes.

“They will always be the same won’t they? It is kind if of sad, but that is one reason we love
them, isn’t it?” Lara said as the rest of them nodded their heads.

“Charlie do want to with me?” and them Haley whisper the last part. “I’m going watch dads play
football!! It is always so like, secret!! It’s not like we haven’t seen a person play football,
right?”

“Err…”

“Or no maybe we shouldn’t. They get to play together for only a couple times a year…”

“Err…”

“No, we should it would be fun and then we can do something other than play cards…”

“Err…”

“No, its “interudding their time” mommy says it…what do you think?”

“I think you need to make up your mind!! You’re going to drive me nutters!!!”

“Ok, ok!! Come on!! We’re going to watch!!! Or no—“ she said stopping right in front of the door
but she was quickly cut off by her cousin.

“Let’s JUST GO!!!” said Charlie rolling his eyes and pushing her out the door.

“I don’t see them, do you??”

“No, I see them you just weren’t looking *high* enough!”

“Now what on earth does that mean? I looked everywhere!! It’s not like they are *flying*—“
Haley said as her cousin turned her head upward to see the sky. “OH!!! Oo—kkk? Well… I guess they
can…” Her eyes were wide with amazement. When Haley looked up she saw something that she only
imagined was possible. Her family members were flying!! “Well, I think we now know why
*football* is sooooo special!!” Dazzled the children sat sown on the grass at their feet to
watch what would happen. They watch for what felt like hours. But neither one was complaining! It
was the most interesting thing they had seen. Suddenly, Haven clutched his head began to fall. But
as he fell he…changed. It started at the top of his head and worked its way down. His reddish hair
turned ashen black and his eyes became even more brilliant green and a lightening bolt scare drew
itself onto his forehead. By the time he landed even some his facial features had changed. The
children failed to realize that at that same time. Her uncles Devon and Ricky changed as well but
theirs weren’t so drastic and they didn’t fall to the ground. Her Uncle Ricky’s hair became even
more straw red then he normally and he grew centimeters taller. Her Uncle Devon lost his silk black
hair to a similar silky white blonde and his chocolate eyes changed to icy silver. Moments later
all of those left in the house came out. Or at least the children thought it was them. Helena’s
skin had tanned and her short straight blonde hair grew to bushy golden brown hair. Her eyes stayed
their milky brown. Lara’s hair became dirty blonde waist long hair opposed to her old white blonde
shoulder length hair. Grace’s hair became a wine red and her eyes became chocolate brown. Also
every one who changed except for Haven had a lightening bolt scar on their hands.

“Harry!!!” Helena called out into the night, and went rushing over to Haven with a stick
clutched in her hand. When Haley looked around everyone had one except for her mother’s parents.
But her father’s parents did. The next thing they heard was an “Oh. MY. GOSH!!!” from one of the
girls. The kids rushed over not able to control it themselves.

“Is daddy ok? Why did he fall? Why is everyone so different?” Haley asked nervously in one
breath.

“Ron- go alert the You-Know-What, Ginny- you must have been right!!! Come on we have to go
*the* Hospital I can heal him quite a bit but I’m not sure what else we have to deal with and
we haven’t been there since well… Haley!!”

“Mommy, who is Ron, Harry, and Ginny? What is going on?” she said as she followed her mother and
her aunts, carrying who was her father into the house. But once they got in they started to carry
him towards the fireplace. “Mommy what are you doing?? I’m only 10 but I know not to play with fire
and to throw someone into it is worse!!”

“Honey, grab the flower pot and give it to me! I’ll explain later!!”

“Ok, but you promise right?”

“Yes, Pinky Promise, just give me the flower pot!!”

“Ok well you have a lot of explaining to do and I have no idea what a flower pot has to do with
anything or throwing daddy into the fire while you’re carrying him.” With that her mother took a
handful from the flower pot. And walked over into the fire and yelled St. Mungo’s and stepped in to
the green flame. Haley yelled she thought her mother had just killed herself along with her
father.

“It’s ok Honey!! Come with me and we’ll be with her soon and then everything will be explained!”
Devon and Grace took her hand and lead into the fire as well. After a rush of colors and flashes
they came to a stop and stepped out of another fireplace. Terrified, Haley looked around cautiously
wondering what else in her supposedly ‘normal’ life was going to happen next. People were rushing
around in a hurried fashion and although her current state no one else seemed fazed by the fact
that she had just come through a fireplace. “Ok we’ll find where the put your dad and then we’ll
start explaining!!” Grace went over and asked the desk clerk. The only surprising that happened was
when Grace asked for the information the clerk gasped at first and then said that she could not
relay information to anyone. Then, Grace showed her the scar on her hand and the clerk looked
shocked and then began to blurt out everything she knew about where he was.

A little while little while later Haley was sitting next to Charlie and they were both totally
shocked and had yet to have anything explained to them. “Well, I used to think my life was simple!
Look at me now! I came through a fireplace, my parents and relatives have changed appearances, I’ve
seen people flying on brooms, and I had no idea my life could be so confusing!” said Haley turning
to her cousin who was still in shock, not that she wasn’t, but he had yet to say anything besides
“Err…”since it had happened. “Well? Say something!!”

“Err…”

“Well???”

“Well, at least they’re not Martians?? Right??” Charlie said turning towards her. She rolled her
eyes and flipped her head back against the chair shaking it back and forth.

“Martians? Charlie, really, THEY FLY ON BROOMS, AND TRAVEL THROUGH FIREPLACES!!!” Haley
practically screamed closing her eyes.

“Ok, I know you have questions we’ll answer them I did promise ok?” said Haley’s mother as the
adults came over and sat down.

“But first we have to tell you who you and we are…” Haley’s dad said but was interrupted by
Haley.

“‘Who we and you are’ What does that mean?”

“Well that’s what I was saying. I’m not Haven Prickford, you are not Haley Prickford, she’s not
Helena Prickford, they are not my biological parents, He is not Rick Prickford, and I think you are
getting the point.”

“So who are *we*?”

“Well, This is your mother as you thought but she is Hermione Potter, This is Ronald Weasley,
Molly Weasley, Ginny Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, Luna Weasley, and Draco Malfoy. I’m Harry Potter, and
you are Charlie Weasley and you are Haley Potter.” Her father said in breath explaining everyone.
But before anything else happened or any more explaining, in front of their eyes the youngest
Potter-Granger fainted.

2. Explantions and Considerations
---------------------------------

I used to think my life ch2

"Haley?? Wake up please!!?? Come on!!!" Hermione was shaking Haley trying to wake her
up. But when she opened her eyes she practically screamed.

"So--you---you guys---are---really---them?? Are you sure?” asked Haley still nervous.

“We are positive! But when two years after we graduated and defeated Voldemort, we went in to
hiding so we could have a normal life.”

“But… I thought that they-you were just fiction!!!! I’ve read all of the books- you know that-
and well everything- *everything* is real???” asked Haley still very cautiously.

“Everything- Hogwarts, shrieking shack, I must say J. K. Rowling did quite a good job. Or should
I say Tonks and Hermione did quite a good job.” Harry said from behind Hermione.

“What!?!?!?!”

“Well, Tonks appeared in the papers as J. K. Rowling and I wrote the books.” Hermione replied a
little embarrassed by what Harry had said.

“Please explain everything!!! I’m so confused!!” Haley said leaning back against the chair.

“Well, you’re not alone!! And to think that thing with Martians is beginning to sound as
something that could happen!! Even believable!! Next, they’ll tell us that The Rookie is real and
we live in the 5th dimension!!!” Charlie said from besides her speaking up for the first
time since the beginning of the discussion. Haley rolled her eyes. <He's still the same>
she thought to herself and sighed.

“Honestly Char, the Rookie is real!!! It is based on a real person!!! Don’t you read??” she said
to who-she-formally-thought-was-her-cousin.

“No!! That’s what you’re for!!!” Charlie answered in response. Harry, Hermione and Ron exchanged
humorous glances. Those statements sounded all too familiar.

“Ok, well let’s start from 12 years ago. On graduation day, Harry asked me to marry him which I
accepted of course. A couple months later we got married, and a few months later we- all 6 of us
went into hiding. One year after that we had you. Once you were 5 you went off to kindergarten
everyday so I began to write Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And after that I continued to
write. But they wanted someone to go to conferences and pictures for papers. I knew if I showed up
some people from the Wizarding world would remember my eyes and face. So I asked Tonks to do it for
me she was happy too.”

“Why did you change your names to what I thought they were your names?”

“Well, the name **Prick**ford is courtesy, yours truly. It seemed to fit most of them quite
nicely as far as I’m concerned!!” said Draco as he showed what Haley could only guess was the
trademark smirk of his Hogwart’s days. “And we all kept our initials.”

“So for my ENTIRE life I was not who I thought I was?!?!?!?!”

“Yea,” said Harry and Hermione at the same time. “We meant to tell you when you turned 11, but
we didn’t make it that far, did us? It wasn’t just you. It was everyone in the Wizarding world.
They would all be looking for you and us.” Harry continued. Haley finally getting over the initial
shock of finding everything about the Wizarding World she could think of- Where is Diagon Alley?
Where’s Hogwarts? What happened to Sirius’s house? What happened to Dumbledore? Where is everyone
else from the books and Hogwarts?

Most of them were answered. When it came to Sirius’s house most of them went silent. “What? What
happened?”

“In seventh year, someone from the well You-Know-What betrayed everyone in the You-Know-What and
it was found. Voldemort burnt it to the ground. With it he took 12 people’s lives.” Harry said with
a grieved expression. “Some of them you would recognize from the other books others came into the
picture in 6th year and so on. A few you would know were- Kingsley Shacklebolt, Dedalus
Diggle, and Remus Lupin.”

“Oh… sorry…” said Haley got up and gave her father a hug.

“Its ok it was years ago…” he replied returning her hug. “Well are all you out of questions or
what?”

“I think the rest can wait till later… But wait what happened to Dumbledore?”

“Dumbledore…is now blind because of a duel he had in six year with Voldemort.”

“Wow… I did not see that one coming…” Haley muttered under breath.

“That’s ok no one did.” Ginny said for the first time.

“So now what is going on now? Why did you guys all go back to how you used to be?” Haley asked
only she and Charlie weren’t the only ones left out on this question. Ginny, Luna, Draco, and Ron
exchanged confused glance between each other before turning to Hermione and Harry.

“Well the best we can consider is this has to do with the *cough* Ginny made during lunch.
*“His symbol shall show. He cannot hide any more. It is time to return!!*

*…Time to be in public eye. They will be back and even as powerful as before.”* I have no
ideas about the rest. I’m going to write it down.” She said as she got a piece of paper.

“I wonder whose son is it... It couldn’t be… well no…it’s impossible…it couldn’t be *his*
son…” Ginny mumbled under breath and looked up at Draco reassure herself.

“Why all of a sudden though are we supposed to ‘save again’ or something like that?” Ron asked
though knowing he would get no response beside a shrug of shoulders.

“Why do all of you-“pointing to the adults all but her grand parents and Molly Weasley and
Arthur Weasley-“have the lightening bolt on your hands?” asked Haley suddenly remembering the mark
that she forgot to ask about.

“Oh this well first it means that we were in the most inner circle of the Order, fought in the
final battle, and it is probably the warning that was mentioned in the *cough* Ginny made. We are
the only once who have it. It can’t be forged or on any one else unless they use a certain spell
Hermione made, which no one knows but her. She won’t even tell Harry!” Ron explained to Haley. “It
also gives us a tingle if something is happening with Voldemort or Harry.”

“Oh,” then softly she added “I thought I felt a tingle when he began to fall but that was just
being scared I guess…” Haley whispered to herself, but Harry heard her.

“You felt what!!?!!” He asked turning her around and bending down to look her in the eye. “This
is very important repeat exactly what you just said. Louder!”

“She just said ‘Oh’ Harry calm down-” Hermione said but was interrupted by Harry.

“No after that she said something else and I think it could be vital now go on.” He told her
gesturing for her to continue.

“I said ‘I said I felt a tingle in the back of my neck but it must have just been cause of
fear.”

“How did the tingle feel like pen writing and then a slight shock or a shiver?”

“The first one I guess?” Haley said quietly as Harry turned her around to look at her neck. When
he lifted up her hair and saw what was in the center of her neck he gasped, widened his eyes and
looked at Hermione. He silently told her to come and look. She too gasped at what she saw on the
back of her daughter’s neck. There was a smaller Lightening bolt scar identical to Hermione’s and
all of the others.

“But… how?? How could she have it?” Hermione pondered out loud. They were all sitting at home.
Charlie and Haley were sleeping upstairs without a care, while the adults were seriously discussing
the previous events of the day.

“I don’t know maybe because we both have it? But Charlie doesn’t so that is not it… But right
now my main concern is this prophecy. The first is figured out but as far as *His* son and the
*she*, what third?” Draco asked. “If the first part was true, the rest as to be too!!”

Ron’s voice spoke up. “I could tell you what I think but I don’t think that would make anyone
less worried. It’ll everyone more worried if anything.” Everyone turned to look at him to see if he
really knew something. “I think,” he said clearing his voice, “That it’s the *third* war. But
Hermione already figured that out If I’m correct, the he is going to be the next Voldemort, and the
she is the next Harry Potter of the world or the worse than the other kid Voldemort which ever she
chooses. We just have to get to her before *he* does.”

“Or in other words she decides the end of war? Well you were right Ron, it makes everything
worse!! The future of the world relies on this girl and we have not a clue to who she is!!!” Draco
yelled.

“Yep that is it. Does any one have anything else to say??” Ron asked a little calmer than
Draco.

“Err… Whose son is it???” Molly Weasley asked speaking up at last having a chance to speak. At
that point some of them could swear the loudest noise they could hear were crickets. Although most
were thinking along the same lines no one would voice the possibility or the seeming impossible
possibility of Voldemort. Most were thinking that he would be the only person who could have the
son that was either worse or better than him. If not him than who?

**Hey!!! I know the chapter is not finished, but this was done from before. I decided I should
post just to have some more information up!! Pleaz review!! I know this one isn’t as good as The
Reason-The Voice but well I thought it would be good it get this part out of the way!!!**



3. The Train
------------

I used to think my life was normal-III

Hogwarts Train

After that night when they couldn’t find any longer, they had to return to the Wizarding World
and face the publicity. Years past, and nothing had yet to happen- of great significance. Years
pass and now Haley Potter is about to board the Hogwarts Express for the first time. She was as
usual, accompanied be her best friend Charlie Weasley. They were a double that would do anything.
Haley had her mothers mind for rules, and yet her fathers sense for adventure. Charlie was- well,
Charlie was a little Ron Weasley- or maybe worse.

“Now, you have everything you’ll need right?” Hermione asked her daughter on the famous platform
of 9¾.

“Yes!! I already answered that question, Mom!! Please can I go find Charlie already!! Who knows
where he is!! Well, wait he is probably at the food cart, but still…” Haley answers in a frustrated
tone, looking to her father for some help out of the situation.

“Let her go, Hermione. She’ll be fine!!” He whispered into his wife’s ear with a quick wink to
his daughter.

“Ok, well if you say so. Good luck honey!!” She called after Haley as she tore down toward the
train entrance. Looking in every compartment she searched for her friend. As she went along she
realized almost every compartment was filled. Near the end of all of the rows she finally found her
friend- and as she suspected, he was eating.

“Where have you been!? I’ve been looking for you! Come on we have to find a compartment.” She
demanded of him.

“Wha-Oghve-een-Ore-wha-whal-Ime!!” He said, if you can it speaking. He had so much food in his
mouth; you would be surprised it would all fit.

“What in the world are you saying!! How many people have told you **not** to speak with your
mouth full? I know I have about a thousand times!!”

He corrected himself after swallowing and rolling his eyes. “I said, ‘What? I’ve been here the
whole time!!”

“Well, you certainly could have fooled me!!” Haley flatly put it while she crossed her arms and
walked away to find a compartment. He followed behind sourly, mimicking her waling down the rows.
They in the end decided to join a compartment that had a small boy and 2 girls who looked about the
same age as them. The one girl and boy seemed to be in an argument over Quidditch. The little boy
had soot black hair to match Haley’s and the most piecing black eyes Haley had ever seen. His ears
seemed to point up at the tip and gave him an elfish look. The girl seemed to be extremely angry.
She had forever tan skin and brown hair. Her glasses were brown ovals that rested right on the
bridge of her nose. Her eyes were a dark chocolate color and looked right through you. The other
girl seemed to be an opposite. She had shoulder length reddish brown hair, and pale blue eyes that
floated over everyone and everything. She had this kind of air around her that always contained a
good feeling, a happier side to everything. She seemed almost airy dozing off, completely
uninterested in the bickering. Both of the girls though had the same facial structure; the same
mouth the same nose and so on. “Well you know what? I DON’T CARE, NATE!! If I don’t say anymore
will shut up?” The girl with brown hair questioned.

“I’ll think about it.”

“AAAAARGGG!!!!!!!!” She cried as she ran out of the cabin, but shortly after leaving she
returned to look at Haley. “Oh, My God!! Haley Potter?? You’ve got to be kidding me!!”

“No, I’m Madonna!” Haley replied sarcastically, crossing her arms and a light smile on her
lips.

“Really? I have an aunt named that too!!!” The blonde haired girl spoke up for the first time.
All of them turned to look at her.

“Emily, SHE WAS BEING SARCASTIC.” The brown haired girl said to the other drawling out every
word.

“Oh really that’s too bad. I barely ever meet anyone with the same name as her.”

“Ok, Right. I’m Tara Boot and this is my-well at least that is what my DNA says- sister, Emily
Boot.” The girl with brown hair commented holding her hand out to Charlie and Haley.

“Yea, I’m Nate Diow. And you have beautiful eyes.” He said as he pushed Tara out of the way,
with her hand still held out. Tara rolled her eyes at his flirtatious remark to Haley. Haley turned
a crimson red and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

“That’s nice, but Haley is smarter than to fall for a remark made like that!” Charlie said
before Haley could respond to the remark herself.

“Hmm…right and…you would be- who exactly?” Nate asked turning to him.

“I’m Charlie Weasley, of course! Ron Weasley’s son, best friend of Haley Potter!!”

“Mhmhmm, and if I cared that would be interesting but since I don’t you can stop talking
now.”

“Ohhh!!! That was a good one! You are really funny, Nate!!” Emily said laughing loudly.

“Emily, go get me some candy,” he said to get her to go away.

“Well, the trolley should be around any time now…but if you say so!” she said as she dashed out
the door.

“And I’m supposed to be related to her! Maybe if I’m lucky she’ll be in a different house!” Tara
said before sitting down.

“Didn’t you say you were leaving?” Nate asked.

“Well, would it annoy you?”

“Yea”

“Ok, then, I’m staying!”

“Great!”

“How do you guys know each other?” Haley said trying to stop the soon-to-be argument.

“School” they both said unison. “I grew up in an orphanage. She grew up with her parents.” He
started snickering then. “Her...her parents…thought she was a squib!”

“Oh, shut up!” Tara said in response slapping him on the arm. “It’s not that bad!”


“Mhmhmm…”


“I got some candy for you, Nate!” Emily said coming back into the room.


“Err…Thanks.” Nate said giving her a look that said “I can’t believe you took that
seriously.”


“Anything off the trolley, dears?” the woman at the cart said.


“Oh yea! You can’t have too much candy!” Charlie said before bolting forward.

“Well I’m almost out and you’re almost at Hogwarts. You are at the farthest cabin.” The woman
with the cart said.

**Hey PLEAZ review!! Like it or not!!!**
