American Mystery

Chapter 2

The outfit on the right is Olivia's pajamas and on the left is the clothes she wore to Diagon Alley.

I woke up from one of the best night's sleep in my life. I picked out my clothes carefully. I didn't want to look like a hot mess to the people I would be spending most of my schooling with.

When I finally had the right outfit I walked downstairs to breakfast.

"Good morning, Sweetie. How'd you sleep?" Mrs. Potter smiled excitedly.

"I slept great! That bed is so comfortable! Thanks so much!"

"No problem, Hun. It's our new job to be your second home! Are you going with the boys to get your school stuff? They're going soon, so you better eat up if you are."

"Oh yeah! I forgot about that," I replied. I scarfed down my waffles and went to find the boys. "James?! Sirius?!" I yelled softly.

"In here Liv!" I heard one of them reply. I walked toward the voice which sounded like it was coming from the living room. I walked through the hallway to the room and stopped.

I saw a breathtaking boy who looked around my age on the couch with the boys. He had scratches on his face and body.

He turned to me and smiled. "Hey. I'm Remus. Nice to meet you."

I stuck out my right hand, "Olivia. Olivia Stell, but my friends call me Liv."

He stood up and took my hand in his. "Nice to meet you Olivia Stell."

I let go of his hand and sat down on the brown rocking chair in the living room. All four of us just messed around and had fun until Mr. Potter called for us. We all flooed to Diagon Alley.

"I felt like my head was going to explode! That was so cool!" Remus, Sirius, and James all laughed as I went on and on about the sensation of flooing.

"Let's go look at quidditch things!" James said.

"But Olivia doesn't like quidditch 'cause she's a girl," Sirius replied.

"Normally, I would yell at you for being so sexist," I said, looking at Sirius then turning to James, "but I don't like quidditch. It's all good though. I'll be fine by myself."

To this Remus replied, "You sure Liv."

I smiled, "Positive."

I walked around Diagon Alley for an hour before I got completely lost. O had no idea where to go so I decided to ask a group of kids who also looked around my age.

"Hey do you guys know where The Three Broomsticks is?" I asked. (We had set up a plan to meet at The Three Broomsticks).

"You go down this street, take a right, walk down the next street, turn left at Quills and Other School Things, go down that street--." The blonde one started to say but she must've seen my face because she stopped. "How about Regulus takes you? I'm Narcissa by the way."

"Thanks Narcissa, I'm Olivia, but who's Regulus."
A tall, cute, black-haired boy stepped out. He looked kind of familiar.

"That would be me. I'll take her and meet you guys later." Regulus and I parted ways from the group.

"So are you new?" Regulus asked.

"Yeah. I'm from America if you can't tell," I laughed.

"Oh! That's cool! Who are you staying with?"

"I don't know if you know them. Frank, Mary, and James Potter. Also, I think Sirius Black lives with us, too."

"Oh," Regulus looked disappointed. "Sirius is pretty cool but that Potter dude is a tool. Don't tell them I said that by the way."

"Um, okay," I laughed.

Regulus and I really hit it off. By the time we got to The Three Broomsticks my stomach hurt from laughing too much. Regulus seemed like a really great guy, which is why what happened next really surprised me.

"Get away from her Regulus!" Sirius shouted. Regulus' face immediately dropped. He had backed away from me within 10 seconds of Sirius' command.

"What are you doing here Snake?" James snarled. Remus grabbed my hand my hand and pulled me over to there side.

"Back off guys. She got lost, and I was just returning her to you guys," Regulus said calmly.

"What's going on!" I shouted but nobody was paying attention.

"Do you expect us to believe that? You're evil, just like the rest of our family," Sirius said to Regulus.

"You guys are related!? What is going on!? I yelled, still to no avail.

Regulus shoved Sirius. "I said I was sorry, Man!" Before anybody knew it Sirius had punched Regulus so hard he fell. Everybody stood there shocked, including Sirius.

"OH MY GOD!?" I swung my arm out of Remus' grasp and ran over to Regulus. "What did you do that for!?" I asked, shocked and appalled. Nobody said anything. Regulus had a large bruise forming on his right eye.

"I think I'll take Regulus to someone he knows and come home later-- without you guys," I said sternly.

"Olivia, I'm sorr--," Sirius started.

"Don't," I replied coldly. "You should be apologizing to Regulus who is apparently your brother. I don't know who would've known that with the way you treat him." I helped Regulus up and turned away. I took a deep breath and started walking away with him.

"When did my life get so complicated and dramatic?" I thought to myself.
