Adalyn Black - A Harry Potter Love Story

Chapter 1

*****Addie's POV*****

"Adalyn! Are you coming. We're going to get your cousin now!" Uncle Remus shouts up the stairs.

"Coming," I call back. I roll my eyes. He always calls me by my real name. I wish he would call me Addie like all the Weasley's.

I bound down the stairs to Uncle Remus. "You know that you can call me Addie like all of the Weasley's."

"I know," he responds. "I just love your name, so why put such a beautiful name into a nickname?"

"I guess it's because I like it better."

I smile and he takes my hand as we walk to the car. Uncle Remus is a wizard, but I don't have a broom, and I'm too young to apparate, so we go the muggle way.

I get into the front seat of the car, and Uncle Remus programs the GPS to go to:
Andenet House
18, Lysander Grove, Archway
N19 3QY London Archway

I listen to the GPS talk to my uncle as I try to listen to the radio. The Muggle Radio.

"It's ingenious how muggles have learned to get along without magic," I tell Uncle Remus.

He smiles and says, "It really is, but they don't know that there is anything called magic, so, they wouldn't be jealous." He shrugs his shoulders.

"You have arrived at your destination," I hear the GPS say in an American accent.

My heart starts pounding and I bounce in my seat.

"Calm down girlie," he says with a smile. "You're going to give yourself a heart attack before you meet Aurora."

"Aurora?" I ask. "Who's Aurora?"

"Oh. I forgot to tell you. Your cousin's name is Aurora."

"Yayyyyy! I will finally know my real family!" I start jumping in my seat again. Uncle Remus laughs.

"Let's go!"

I throw the car door open, step outside, and smile. I'll finally meet my family!!

I close my door, Uncle Remus locks the car, and we walk hand-in-hand to the orphanage.

"Umm . . . excuse me?" Uncle Remus says. "I called yesterday about Aurora. We are here to pick her up."

I look up at him, and he looks down at me. I smile and he returns it.

"Umm . . . yes. Come this way," the orphanage women says.

She leads us down a hallway to a bunch of rooms. She pushes one open.

Inside there is one person. She is sitting with her back to the door, looking out the window. She has wavy brown hair, to a little bit past her shoulders, just like me! Her legs are off to the left side and her arms are covering her face. She looks like she is upset.

"Aurora . . . you have some visitors. They are here, so you can go live with them."

She picks her head off her hands and turns toward me. She has high cheekbones and long eyelashes. She looks exactly like me, exept for the eyes. Her eyes are brown and mine are blue. Her eyes are also bloodshot, like she just been crying. She is so pretty even though her face is tear stained and her mascara is running. Her hair falls perfectly around her face and there aren't any pieces sticking up in odd directions. She doesn't look like she could be any older than 12.

"Adalyn?" She asks.

Her voice is soft and she sounds calm. Then she shakes her head and is about to turn back around. But before she does, I nod and say, "But you can call me Addie."

"Addie," she says.

I nod.

"Addie."

I nod again.

We stand in silence for a few seconds, and then she starts crying again.

Instinctively, I run over and try to comfort her. "It's okay. I promise. Just tell me what's wrong."

"It's not you. People have been coming to me for years saying that it is you, but it never is. I always get my hopes up, but it turns out to be some kind of freak trying to kidnap me. It always is."

"I'm not a kidnapper. I promise. I'm just Addie. I live with my Uncle Remus," I point at him and he smiles at Aurora. "We are here so you can go to Hogwarts." When I see the look of confusion on her face I explain. "Hogwarts is a school for witches and wizards. I am a witch, just like you, and Uncle Remus is a wizard."

She looks up from her hands and smiles. "I guess I can trust you then!" I smile back at her.

"Aurora, right?" I know Uncle Remus said that this was her name, but I didn't know if she wanted o be called something else like I like to be called Addie, instead of Adalyn.

She nods, wipes her tears off her face and says, "But you can call me Rora. I like that name better. Much better."

"Okay than, Rora!"

I smile.

"Do you want to come with us so you can get your school supplies for Hogwarts?"

She smiles and says, "Of course, but if I find out that you are some creepy kidnapper, you won't live to see your next birthday. Okay?"

I roll my eyes. "Okay."

"Let's go then!"

I take her hand and squeeze gently. She returns it. I look at her and smile. She returns it.

I know I'm going to love my cousin.
