American Amongst the Brits (Harry Potter)

Chapter One

"Jess I can't wait to get back to school. What about you?" I asked.

"I don't know why you would think that I was excited about this. I suck at the school here." Jess said. I can't believe that she would say that she doesn't do well at the school here. Everyone envied the grades she would receive. I mean an A in most of her classes and some of which were B's.

"Remember the word for the store front is DragonAly." My aunt said. Yeah, yeah whatever. We have done this a few times. Nothing that she says is going to be important. It's not like there is another wizarding school in the world. Right? I mean we haven't heard of another one.

"We will see you on the other side." My aunt said and cast her wand up and was no longer in the room with us. My friend Jess was next to go and then when I cast my wand up, I ended up getting tongue tied. I am not even sure how it sounded when it came out. I felt like I had been punched in the gut and then I was standing inside of a fireplace. What the hell? Where am I?

"Hello? Did I hear someone in here?" I heard someone. Wait. This person didn't sound like me. I couldn't stop coughing.

"Oh dear. Are you okay? What are you doing in here?" A nice red hair woman asked. She is British though.

"I- I think I am okay. Where am I?" I asked her. The shock on her face probably mirrored the shock on mine when I heard her voice.

"My, my dear. Are you American? How did you get all the way over here?" She asked. Oh no.

"Wait, am I?" I started to ask.

"Honey you are not in America. Where were you trying to go? Good heavens get out of the fireplace dear. Here let me help you." She said and held her hand out to me. I grabbed her hand and started to pull myself out of the fireplace.

"Ron dear come help me." She hollered out. I saw a red-haired boy come around the corner and run up to his mom. I assume it is his mother at least.

"Who is this mom?" He asked. Also, British. I can't believe I am not at home anymore.

She looked at me like she was waiting for me to fill that information in for her because I had not said what my name is yet.

"I am y/n) I am from Oregon. I have no idea how I got here. I was just trying to get to school. I think when I said my destination my words became jumbled, and I must have said the wrong thing. I must have said something similar. Might I ask where I am exactly?" I asked, stumbling the words out as I said them because I was speaking too fast.

"You are at Diagon Alley. Where were you supposed to go?" The woman asked me. "Does it sound similar to where you were supposed to go?"

"Yes, I was supposed to go to DragonAly. I don't feel so good." I said and looked down.

"Oh dear. Why don't you come with me. I am Molly Weasley. This is one of my son's Ron. Why don't we get you to a phone and you can call your family. Let them know that you are okay." She said. I smiled at her kindness.

"I really hope I am not putting you out of your way. I am sorry for intruding." I said.

"Oh, hush darling. I am sure your family is worried sick." Mrs. Weasley said. She escorted me back out to a building with her son behind us and she just kept talking.

"Hold on dear. Stay right here. Arthur! Arthur! Darling something has happened!" She hollered. She walked off towards a taller gentleman. Another red-haired person. Wow they must be more common here than where I am from back home.

"Well, hello there, I am Arthur Weasley. I see that you have met my wife. Did you just get here when my wife found you?" He asked. I nodded. I felt my stomach squeeze. I felt a sharp pain in my chest and then I blacked out. I felt my body go limp and then after that I don't know what happened.
