"Are you Tressa?" said a voice I didn't recognize. Standing in front of me was boy with dark brown hair and bright green eyes, the color of emeralds. Beside the boy was a squirming little girl with light auburn hair with multitones of red, pulled back into pigtails.
"Um... Yeah... Who are you?" I asked completely freaked of how he knew my name.
"I'm Albus and this is my little sister Lily. My cousins Rose, Kaitlin, Karen and my brother James were talking about you so I thought I'd introduce myself before they had a change to tell you embarrassing things that are totally not true. I heard that you were part of their first prank of the year... It gets worse, just saying. They get in trouble very often so I'd be careful of whenever you help them with a prank..."
So they did pull a lot of pranks...Oh My Wizard God! These were Harry Potter's and Ginny Weasley's children. Play it cool Tressa, play it cool...
"Thanks for the advice." I simply said. Albus seemed nice enough.
"No problem. Another thing, stay away from my cousin Fred. He's an even worse trouble maker than his namesake. Guess it's in the blood."
"Got it, thanks." I said before saying a good bye and finally making my way into the great hall. I just met a boatload of Weasleys, and it took a while to sink in...goodness! It takes me over 4 years just to go see Marianas Trench, and now I’ve met an entire family of celebrities! I never would have expected to meet practically all the children of the most famous people in the wizarding world. I shake my head, as the thought of food is brought to the forefront of my mind. Food>Social Life, anyday.
"Yes! Food!" I thought to myself as I excitedly ran to the tables in the great hall. I took a seat next to Karen and dug into my pasta, trying my best not to smear it all over my face.
"TRESSA TRESSA TRESSA!" Rose shouted as she ran towards me. Noooooooooo I thought as I looked away from my food and put down my fork.
"Yeah?" I asked wearily, peeking over longingly to a plate of bread covered with cheese near her direction.
"I was in the library studying-"
"Of course you were at the library. You're always at the library!" A tall, lank boy with the trademark Weasley hair exclaimed as he sat down in front of Karen. Judging from the cheeky grin, and ginger hair, I could only presume that this was- "I'm Fred by the way. Named after one of the greatest pranksters of life," Fred says, making a short bow.
"Oh shush! We all know Uncle Fred, and I like to study. Anyway, as I was saying, I was at the library and I saw an old newspaper clipping. It was an article about a man and a woman with the last name Bae! You're last name is Bae right??"
My heart skipped a beat. I knew I should have kept my fake name. But Tressa Lee technically never existed. As soon as my 'parent's explained to me how I wasn't biologically theirs, I demanded them to tell me my real last name. Maybe this is my chance to find out what happened to my parents. But then, there are many people named Bae right? In the world... That newspaper clipping could be very helpful. I nodded hoping the look on my face didn't give me away.
"Tressa... Is there something you're not telling us?" Kaitlin asked concerned. Great, it's the first day and already people are asking me questions.
"No nothing, I'm fine..."
"Okay..." Karen turned to Kaitlin and whispered something to her. The two of them left with Fred, who gave me a wink and a salute. It was now only me, Rose and some other students sitting at the Ravenclaw table.
"You want to take a look at that article?" Rose asked
"Hm... Maybe tomorrow... I'm really hungry... and it's getting late..." I sucked in a breath hoping it was a good enough excuse.
