Life At Hogwarts

Introduction

Today is the day where Olivia Potter's life is going to change forever. Olivia is Harry's little sister and he would do anything to make sure she stays safe, looks out for her 24/7 and would do anything for her just to be happy. Olivia was only 12 years old when she became apart of Harry's life, as their mother, Lily Potter, did not want them meeting or having any contact with each other because He - Who - Shall - Not - Be - Named was gunning for Harry and wanted to kill him as a baby, but was unsuccessful at his attempt to kill him. So Lily sent Olivia away so she was safe as her mother didn't want the same thing happening to daughter; let alone her son. But eventually, Harry and Olivia were reunited and they became very close very fast.
Harry had been living with the Weasley's for quite some time, so Olivia had also moved in with them. She became really close with Fred and George (Fred and George were twins and she could never really tell them apart), but Ron wasn't 100% about her and didn't trust her as he or Harry for that matter, had never even met her until she just showed up one day at the Weasley house. Olivia shared a room with a girl called Hermione Granger and they became best friends instantly. Hermione would always read to Olivia when she found something interesting or just because she wanted too and Olivia listened in with pricked up ears and a huge smile splashed across her face. She loved listening to Hermione read to her.

Olivia had been living with the Weasleys for a few months now, and she became very comfortable with living in this new setting and was actually happy for the first time in her life. She hadn't really experienced much as she was sent away by her mother when she was really young, so Olivia had to work everything out on her own and do everything by herself. But now she felt like she could just let go, just let herself be free and just be happy. It was just a casual day at the Weasley house until Errol (the Weasleys owl) had came to deliver mail to the house. There was a letter for Harry, Ron, Fred & George, Hermione and finally , Harry handed me a letter with my name written right across it in big bold letters. I was too scared to open it, but ripped it open anyway within seconds. As i scanned the words written on the letter, it read as follows:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards).

I scanned the letter a few more times before looking up at the others to see their reactions. Ron looked as if he was dreading the day he got this awful letter, Fred and George brushed the letter aside as if it was nothing and went on to continue whatever mischief it was they were up to now, Hermione had a huge smile wiped straight across her face as she stared down at her letter and Harry looked unsure of what to feel about his, until he glanced up and looked straight at me. I swallowed the lump that had been created in my throat and just smiled at him, scared of what he was about to say, but before he could say anything, i spoke first.

'Harry, are you alright? i asked, as he glanced back at his letter then brought his eyes back to me.

'Yes, i'm fine, i just - i'm not sure how to feel about you joining us at Hogwarts. So many things happen there Olivia, and i just don't want you getting hurt'.

For a minute, i just stared at him as i waited for a couple seconds to see if he would say anything else, but he didn't.

'Listen, i'll be fine, i have all of you right there with me, i promise you nothing will happen to me, i will stick by the rules and it'll be like i'm not even there' i replied to him with a little smile.

He smiled back at me like he had found comfort in the words i had just spoken to him, but inside i felt a little scared as to what might come when i enter those doors at Hogwarts.
It was getting late so everyone was getting ready for bed, as i was grabbing a nice cold drink of water from the fridge, Fred came up from behind me, making me jump fresh out of my skin.

'Sorry love, i was just coming down for a drink as i couldn't sleep. I didn't mean to scare you' he said, with a little fear in his eyes as he noticed i had jumped at his presence.

'It's alright Fred, this whole Hogwarts thing just has me a little on edge, I don't think Harry's taking it very well, he's scared for me incase something happens to me while i'm there'.

'Trust me, Harry's always like that, he knows you'll be fine and you're a strong girl who can stand up for herself, you'd be able to take on anything! Fred gives me a huge smile that gives me comfort and makes me feel just that tiny bit better.

'Right, i'm off to bed then, big day tomorrow, goodnight Fred'.

'Goodnight Olivia' he says as i trail away up the stairs to my room, where Hermione is already fast asleep with a book laying just below her hand facing downwards so only the front cover and back cover are visible to see.

I lay back in my bed and just stare at the ceiling thinking about how my life is about to completely change. Forever. After a few minutes, i finally drift off into the world of sleep and dream of what my life will be like now that i'm going to be at Hogwarts School.
