"and that's all your there for. You understand?" He said, in a stern, strict voice.  The person nodded.

 "You ain't there for nothing else. Are you sure you understand? The man said in an even more serious voice. 

At first, they nodded but then paused before shaking their head as the man groaned and responded "What?!" "Nothing, sir, you just haven't explained why I'm going there yet." They said with the most confidence they could.

"What do I always tell you and the other kids?" the cold man said as he turned. "Don't ask why your doing it, just do it." They repeated back, they knew that he was probably going to say that, but they were still hoping even for the slightest different answer.

"Well come on now, time's ticking, you better go get your stuff." He said, turning around, they scrambled away, it was time for their mission to officially start.

Nat spent most of the time at Malfoy Manor playing with her cousin, Draco. However, when she was 5, a distant relative offered to take care of her and Nat moved there even though she was very sad to say goodbye to her cousin, who she had spent the first 5 years of her life with him. 

As Natalia grew, the hate for the place she had moved grew more, her relative was very strict and abused her verbally a lot, Nat also begged her to let her go to Hogwarts when she turned 11, but she kept saying no. So at the age of only 11, she escaped and made the next 5 years on her own, constantly taking any jobs she could.

When she was 16, she could finally afford a place to live, though it was small, it was better than nothing. After that, Natalia bought books from Diagon Alley still trying to keep up with her studies hoping one day she would be able to go to Hogwarts, even if it were only for a short amount of time, and recently, that long-awaiting dream became true.

She walked to King's Cross, clenching the ticket in her hands, not wanting to lose it, she went threw the famous brick wall, and after she made it threw fully. The first thing she saw was the hundreds of people crowding the all-famous golden trio who had practically just saved the entire Wizarding World. You could see they were trying their best to ignore the eager reporters, but it looked a bit hard, so Nat decided to step in and introduce herself.

"Hello my name is Natalia- er- Valentine, but you can call me Nat." She said with the most confident she could, and she flashed a smile, she couldn't have a bad reputation already. Everybody suddenly turned to her, including the reporters, who were watching the golden trio's every move. Hermione was the one to speak first, introducing herself as Hermione Granger who took a hand which Nat shook.

Harry and Ron went almost at the same time, and Natalia shook their hands too. Suddenly, they were reminded that they better get on the train by what looked like a second-year know-it-all nearby them, so they all quickly rushed into the train and closed the doors on the reporter's face. They fit in a compartment as Nat looked at the window, it felt like the new part of her life was finally beginning.
