The other Potter

Chapter 1: The letter

The dark haired girl sat on her bed, looking at the only thing left on her parents, an old necklace of her mothers. All the other girls though she was wierd. With her jet black hair and green eyes, her skinny body and pale face. They bullied her, the other girls in the orphanage, thats why she was rarely back on time for supper, along with the fact she was never treated equally to the other girls.

She had her own room. But hat was only because there were no spare beds when she was left on the doorstep 13 years before. So got given the basement. Her only possession sat in the small shoebox under her bed.

Many children come and go from the orphanage. But most possible parents take one look at her and move quickly on. On one hot summers day, a week before school went back she arrived home in time for supper.

The postman arrived at the orphanage delivering the usual post, and Hope collected it, traveled around the orphanage, delivering it to the people they were addressed to when she came across a letter with her own name addressed on the front.

She quickly ripped it open only to get it yanked out of her grasp
"Opening others post now are you?" Miss Tip said bitterly
"No. It was addressed to me, give it back" Hope responded angrily
"Ooohhhh the little insect got a letter from a school" Miss Tip said making the other girls laugh
"Give it back!" Hope shouted angrily across the kitchen

Water in the pots and pans began to bubble bright blues, greens and oranges.
"Give me the letter." Hope said clenching her fists.
Miss Tip walked briskly across the kitchen, passed her the letter then stormed out and the water died down almost instantly.

She opened the letter and read slowly

She closed the letter, feeling excited, but confused all the same. Who was Hagrid. A school for witches and wizards? Why her?

All these thoughts ran through her head when there were three loud knocks at he door.
