August 1, (11 years old) :
"Rebecca! Come downstairs please!"
I hear my dad calling for me, i got up from where I was laying on my bed reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard and went to see what he wanted.
"Yes dad?" I asked him. He had a huge but worried smile on his face, he was holding up a letter that was clearly written for me.
"Guess what this is." Still smiling waving the letter around. He looked proud? Proud of what, What did I do? I run these thoughts in my head trying to think of something, but I just couldn't think of anything I did to make him proud of me. Then it hit me... My Hogwarts letter! ITS FINALLY HERE! I felt my eyes widen in shock, I run up to my dad and took the letter and ripped it open as fast as I could. I starred at it with the biggest grin ever.
"So.......What does it say?" Asked my father but I already knew that he knew.
"I was accepted!" I yelled running into the awaiting arms of my father.
"Well, tomorrow we can go to Diagon Alley so you can buy your school supplies." I was jumping for joy, I was a witch, half breed like my father but he was wizard. I have a feeling that Hogwarts is going to be a great adventure for me for the next few years.

(2 years later, age 13, year 3)
It's been 2 years since I started Hogwarts. Best years of my life, but it hurts knowing that dad has to go through the change by himself. But so do I and let me tell you turning into a huge dog hurts like HELL. Anyone who told you that it won't hurt is lying. I'v been a werewolf since I was 4 years old, I have dirty blond or in some lights brown hair, bright green eyes like my mom (but I don't know who she is. Dad doesn't talk about her and when he does, he's usually half a bottle into some Firewhisky) and I have nice pale skin.
My best friends in the whole world would be Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley ( but he will get mad if you don't call him Ron). We all met each other when we started our first year and we just stuck. All four of us are in the best house (not trying to be cocky or trying to brag) Gryffindor!!! The last two years has been filled with adventures and all kinds of dangers.
In our First Year he-who-must-not-be-named possessed our DADA professor, he was trying to get the Philosopher's stone so he could become immortal and get his body back after Harry destroyed it when he was a baby. At first we thought if was Professor Snape who was trying to get the stone- though I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out it was actually Professor Quirrell the previously mentioned DADA professor. Long story short, we all almost died, Quirrell did die after Harry and I burned him with our touch for some reason (?), Voldemort flew away, and Harry and I landed ourselves in the Hospital wing (a soon to be common occurrence).
Second Year was just as action packed as the first. Slytherins' chamber of secrets was opened by his heir, and muggleborns were being petrified by the beast that lived in the chamber. It wasn't until after Hermione was petrified and Hagrid (the grounds keeper) was arrested for 'allegedly' being the heir, that was found out what the monster was. It was a Basilisk! The real heir turned out to be Ginny Weasley (Ron's first year sister) who was being possessed (possession seems to happen a lot in Hogwarts) by her diary who turned out to be baby Vodemort. Harry, Ron and I went after Ginny who was taken by baby Voldy into the Chamber which for some reason the entrance was located in the first level girls washroom. Lockheart (our useless DADA prof) was taken with us as a potential sacrifice (unofficially, Harry doesn't want to admit it but Ron was ready to give him over to the over grown snake) and he tried to obliviate us. Harry and I was separated from Ron and Useless, we found baby V (who honestly had no reason to look so good, but fate was cruel I guess), Harry fought and killed the Basilisk, I yelled abuse at both Tom and the snake, Harry killed the diary, saved Ginny, freed an elf and we all went home.
Since then Ron developed a bit of a crush on me, it was mostly harmless, I don't really think of him that way because of Hermione, so I just ignore it. Besides, it feels like someone else, someone magnificent is waiting for me some were. But if anyone asks, I just say that I'm too amazing to be tied down by any mortal man (for some reason when I told dad this, he looked like he was both going to die from laughter and cry his eyes out. I never mentioned it again).
Anyways, Hermione Granger is the smartest person I have ever met, we all wonder why she wasn't put into Ravenclaw since she is the smartest person I know (aside from my dad), but thankfully she wasn't because I don't believe I would have known her otherwise. Now Harry James Potter is my best friend out of all three of them (Sorry Mione), no I don't like him I would feel wrong if I did, It would feel gross. We grew up together, we understand each other perfectly, when he needs someone I'm there for him and he'll do the same for me. I always felt protective over him for some reason, but I just ignore it and continue watching his back.
At the moment we're on the train heading to Hogwarts so we can start our Third Year and I can't believe that my dad will be the new DADA (Defense against the dark arts) teacher. I feel better knowing that my dad wasn't going to send the entire year alone waiting for me to come home, and it will make it easier on us so we can change together.
"REBECCA!" I hear some one yell in my ear, I open my eyes only to see green eyes similar to my own.
"What Harry?" I asked, a little annoyed that he woke me up.
"The train stopped and but I don't think we're at Hogwarts yet." Said Harry with worry in his eyes. I peered out the window and saw ice surrounding the window where the rain use to be. The lights start to flick on and off until it went completely dark. The compartment door was opening, slowly anticipation was growing inside of me. Waiting for whatever it is to come in. All four of us watched the door creep open, my dad asleep in the corner trying to regain energy lost from the full moon two days ago. The reason that i'm not tired like him is because i'm younger and get my strength back faster.
In through the door came a dementor, I got shivers going down my back because I knew that they are looking for, James Potter (Harry's dad) and Sirius Black (Harry's godfather). I know this because dad told me that they escaped Azkaban and are on the hunt for Harry. Apparently, the night Voldemort came for Harry only his mom was there, Black and his dad was out somewhere 'celebrating' Halloween. The next day, they were found surrounded by dead muggle, rubble and the index finger that belonged to their supposed best friend Peter Petingrew. They were immediately arrested for murder and conspiring with Voldemort, since Black was their secret keeper and only the two of them knew of the location to the Potters Cottage. They were sent to Askaban and Harry was left with us, since he didn't have anyone else. The weird thing is that no one knows what happen to Harry's mom. Her body was never found after that night.
We watch the dementor get closer to me and Harry.
"Potter and Black are not here." I say in a loud voice to make sure the monster heard me. Then the dementor turned to Harry and started to fead off of him, I took out my wand to cast my patronus at it but then it turned to me. I felt all the happiness leave my body only leaving a cold, sad feeling behind. I heard my dad cast the patronus at the dementor as I fell to my knees next to Harry's unconscious body. The last thing I heard was a woman scream my name the everything turned black.
