I was walking home from school with Hermione,my best friend.She was two years younger then me.Oh,but look at me,I'm so rude.My name is Valeire,Valerie Evans.I'm from London and I have an extreamly normal life.I am the top of my grade in school I go to.Hermione and I have been best friends ever since I can remember and have always been spending more time with the Grangers then with my own family,seeing as they aren't the most loving family ever.My mom died when she gave birth to me and my dad died a few months later in a car crash,so my aunt and uncle,Mildred and August were taking care of me.They had a daughter,Elizabeth who was my age.She was one of the most annoying people in the world.I was never alowed to family gatherings or even out of my room when aunt and uncle had quests over.I did most of the house work along with my school work.I rearly ate or slept well which resloulted in me being extreamly tiny built and very skinny.I was 5,3 and stick thin,wih long dark red hair that went almost all the way down my back.I had deep emerald eyes and porculan skin.My lips were pinkish and always seemed to roll into a small smile.I was twelve years old,turning thirteen today,June 15.Hermione and I walked down the street towards my house,enjoying small talk.We were both taking extra credit courses over the summer.Our laughter and talk were stopped by yelling that came from my house.

"Looks like I will be in truble."I said looking from the house to my best friend.

"Good luck,see you tomorrow."she said hugging my lightly.

"Thanks."I said hugging back before I walked over the street towards my house.

I unlocked the door and walked inside,my eyes emidiatly searching for the sourse of the yelling.

"WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO PUT AN END TO THIS NONSENCE!"uncle August yelled at a tall man with a long snow white beard who was wearing long robes and standing in our living room,totally unfased by my uncles yelling.

He turned around,along with everyone else,when they heard me leave my keys by the door and walk inside.My cousin looked at me with discust as she hid behind her mother.

"You freak!"she yelled and I just rolled my eyes stepping further into the living room.

I stood tall and proud,not wanting to let anyone know that I was acually really scared.

"Miss Potter,pleasure to meet you.I am Albus Dumbledore,headmaster of Hogwarts school of-"he started introducing himself when my uncle started yelling again,cutting him of.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!"he said pushing his wife and daughter behind him as Dumbledore and looked at them weirdly.

"She has the right to know her story and the story of her parents and the wizarding world,seeing as you have never told her."Dumbledore said,standing beside me,eyeing my uncle and aunt with a tad bit of discust.

"The wizarding world?My parents?Sir,what are you talking about?"I asked,curiously.

"Well,my dearest Valerie,you are a witch,just like your parents were before you.Your real name is Valerie Lily Potter,not Evans.I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry,where you have been exepted as a student,a few years to late but if you are a tad bit bright like your mother you will do just fine.You also have a brother whos name is Harry Potter,who is ten,turning eleven in a few days acually.As I have been informed,you were told that your mother died when she gave birth to you and your father died in a car crash,right?"he asked and I nodded my head yes."Well,that couldn't be further from the truth.Your parents were members of the Order of Phonix,in a dark time for the wizarding world when a dark wizard by the name of Lord Voldemort was at large.You and your brother were the only ones who could stop him,so naturally he tried to kill you two as soon as he found out.He was unsuccessful but he managed to,unfotunatly,kill your parents,Lily and James Potter.You and Harry lived with a scar each,you have one on the right side of your forehead and he gas one on the left side of his forehead.Seeing as the both of you were exepted to Hogwarts,your letter had to be delivered,so here it is.You should acually pack right away,seeing as I'm going to be taking you to your temperary home,from where you will be able to get all you suplies for school,which starts September 1."he finished and my mouth was hanging open slightly.

"How does Hogwarts even work?"I asked,curiously.

"We can talk on our trip to the Burrow."he smiled at me and I nodded jolting up the stairs to pack everything I owned in a suticase I jad under my bed.

I was done quickly,seeing as I didn't own many things,all of which were old thing that didn't fit Elizabeth anymore.I trew them all into the suitcase and looked around the room searching for anything I might have left behind.Looking around I saw the picture of Hermione and me on the wall.I took it of,placing it gentally into my suitcase.It would be the only thing I would miss about this place.I walked down the staircase,suitcase in hand.

"Are you ready?"professor Dumbledore asked.

"Yes,but professor?"I asked.

"Yes,miss Potter."he said.

"Can we stop by my friend Hermione Granger's house?I would like to say goodbye."I said as we walked to the front door.

"I don't think that will be necissary seeing as miss Granger is also atemding our school this year."he said stepping into the garden.

"Really?"I asked in disbelife,my eyes the size of gumballs.

"Yes,she will be going in for her first year,just like your brother,and you will go in for your third year."he said as I followed him into the street.

"How many years are there?"I asked,my curiosity showing trough again.

"There are seven,but the fifth and seventh are the most important,as there are big exams placed in those years."he said as he stopped on the street.

"What are we waiting for,sir?"I asked,not seeing the point in standing in the street for seamingly nothing.

All of a suden,before professor Dumbledore could answer my question a loud car engine was heard from the sky.I looked up to see nothing else then a blue,flying Ford Anglia.I watched in disbelife as the car landed in front of us.

"This is what we were waiting for."professor Dumbeldore said,smiling as he looked at me over his half-moon shaped glasses.

Inside the car sat a man with fiery red hair and sea blue eyes.I smiled kindly at him as professor Dumbledore opened the back door for me.

"Thank you,sir."I said getting into the back.

The man with red hait turned around to look at me and introduce himself.

"Pleasure to meet you,Valerie.My name is Arthur,Arthur Weasley.You will be staying with me and my family until Hogwarts starts.Oh and as a matter of fact,happy birthday."he said smiling at me.

"The pleasure is mine,mr.Weasley."I smiled kindly as professor Dumbledore got into the front seat.

"Shall we,Arthur?"he asked mr.Weasley.

"As you say,professor."mr.Weasley said and started the car.

We started going and soon rose to the sky,over looking London that was now under us.The night was gorgeus and very warm,thankfully.Mr.Weasley and professor Dumbledore ingaged in a conversation about the Ministry of Magic and I drifted of into a deep slumber.
