Not a Real Potter

Chapter II

After Hagrid showed up they left the broken-down shack and headed to Diagon Alley. They entered a shop called The Leaky Cauldron. As they walked in Hagrid was greeted by most of the people there. Hagrid started to tell the people who Y/N and Harry were. The people all got excited that they got to finally meet the siblings who lived. They made their way to Diagon Alley to go get the supplies they needed for their first year at Hogwarts. They went and got their cauldron and their books and then went to a shop called Ollivanders Wand Shop. Hagrid had left them at the store and went off and said he had a surprise for them he had to get it. They went in and looked around confused. A guy Y/N assumed was named Ollivander popped up from behind the counter.

"Well, well look who it is. It's like yesterday your parents were here getting their first wands," he said as he was scanning his wand collection.

They both tried a couple of different wands, none of them was right. Harry finally got a wand. It was 11" long, made of holly, and possessed a phoenix feather core. Then Y/N got hers. It was an Aspen wood with a Unicorn hair core, 9½" and unbending flexibility. (you can have any wand I just put my own lol). As they walked out they saw Hagrid with two cages. One is a birdcage with a snowy owl in it and the other is a cat cage with a light toasty brown cat.

"Here are your pets. The owl is for Harry and the cat is for Y/N." Hagrid handed them their new pets. Harry named his owl Hedwig. Y/N thought it was a cool name but she couldn't think of what to name hers that would match it. She finally thought of Toast. Weird name right but she thought it was the best choice to match her new cat.

As they got to the train station Hagrid told them he had to go and Y/N and Harry had to find the platform on their own. Hagrid gave the tickets to them and left. They looked down at their tickets to see where to go then realized that it said 9¾.

"Um, harry I think our tickets are wrong." Harry agreed but then they heard a lady.

"Alright kids, let's get you to platform 9¾." Y/N perked up and went to ask the woman where 9 ¾ was. She led them to the platform and guided them on starting with the older children from the ginger-headed family.

"Alright, now Ron it's your turn just run straight towards the wall. Y/N and Harry, why don't you run with him?" They all ran full force towards the wall. Y/N braced herself for impact but she went through the wall.

"How did I do that?!" She looked around and saw the train that would bring them to Hogwarts.

They made their way onto the train with Ron following behind them.

"So you two are the siblings who lived! That must be so cool to be famous and only 11 years old!" Y/N looked at Harry still confused on why they are so famous when they just now found out about Hogwarts and that there is such a thing as witches and wizards.

Ron looked concerned, "why do you look confused?"

"We are just confused about how we are so famous and how we are magical and what actually happened to our parents"

"Well, your parents were against dark magic which is what He Who Shall Not Be Named used. Your mom was a muggle-born and your dad was a pureblood meaning your dad came from a family of witches and wizards and your mom was the only witch/wizard in her family. Voldemort didn't like that your parents were against him so he used dark magic to kill them. You got your scars because your mom tried to protect you and essentially the spell bounced off of you." Y/N looked at him so confused this was a lot of new information to process.

"Wow that was a lot," Harry said looking equally as flabbergasted.

Then you all heard the snack trolley making its way down the aisle. Y/N had bought a lot of different things and Ron explained all that it was.

"Ooh Speaking of animals! This is Scabbers, he is my pet rat. My brother Fred showed me a spell to turn him yellow!"

"Oo, I wanna see it" just then a girl with long brown poofy hair walked in.

"Looks like you're about to do a spell well let's see it." Ron looked nervous

"Ok well. Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"

Nothing.

"Are you sure that's even a real spell? Well, it's not very good, is it? Of course, I've only tried a few spells myself, and they've all worked for me." the girl goes over to harry and points her wand at his face, "for example... Oculus Reparo!"

Harry's glasses were fixed! Y/N was amazed.

"I'm Hermione Granger by the way. And you are?"

"I'm Y/N potter and this is my brother, Harry"

"My goodness, you're the potter siblings!" She looked at them like they were the most famous people in the world.

"Well, I'm Ron Weasley." Ron broke the silence

"Ok well, you three better get your robes on we are almost to the school." Hermione said as she was leaving, "oh and Ron you have dirt on your nose"

Ron looked embarrassed as he tried to wipe it off. They all went to change their robes then made it back just in time to gather their things and exit the train.

They got off the train and heard Hagrid yelling for the first year. Ron, Harry, and Y/N all made their way to Hagrid.

"Well hello, potters. How was the train?"

"The train was fine. We met Ron here at the train station when you left us on our own. We had no clue where to go. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Mrs. Weasley.

"Well hello Ron I am Rubeus Hagrid" he took Ron's hand and shook it.

Once all the first years were gathered Hagrid led them to the school. They all rode boats to get to the school. Once they got to the steps at the front of the School they saw an older lady who they assumed to be a professor.

She spoke "All right first years when we enter the room you will each be sorted into one of the four houses. They are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Griffindor. Let us go in and assign you to your houses."

They all went into the school and were led to the front of the room. They all gathered around the sorting hat. They waited for their names to be called. One by one each of the first years got their houses. One first-year particularly stood out to Y/N.

Draco Malfoy.

She had never met him before but his name just caught her attention. Then he got sorted into Slytherin. On the train ride over to Hogwarts Ron had taught them about the different houses and what the traits were of the people in them. Ravenclaw is wisdom and wit, Hufflepuff is Loyalty and patience, Gryffindors is Courage and bravery and Slytherins is cunning and ambitious. Ron had said that not many Slytherins end up being good. Most of them only wanna learn dark magic which she learned is not good because it's what killed her parents.

"Y/N Potter!" she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard her name. She walked up the stairs and sat on the stool. McGonagall put the hat on her head.

"Not a real potter I see." Y/N thought that was quite rude of it to say. She may not be Potter blood but she grew up as a potter well kind of.

It Continued "I shall put you in..."

*** A/n

I know this probably sucks but it will get better i just don't particularly like writing intro stuff but once we actually get into the good part of the story it should get better.
