"Elizabeth, its time to go!!!" my aunt yelled at the top of your lungs.

"Yell louder i don't think the people in china caught all that,"  i responded walking down the stairs with two of my twelve you heard me right twelve suitcases. she told me to pack everything, and i had A LOT of things. 

"Are you sassing me libby?" my aunt asked trying to sound angry but i could see she was holding back a smile.

"Exactly," i said while walking up the stairs to get more of my suitcases.

as we walked out of our penthouse sweet in downtown Chicago (my aunt is very wealthy) i took one last look a the place i grew up knowing i most likely would never come back and closed the door. as we rode in the taxie on the way to O'Hare i thought about what my aunt had said, part of me hoped that she wasn't insane and that hogwarts was real but i kept telling myself it was impossible but the more and more i thought about the more  "strange things" that had happened came to mind like when i was three i wanted a puppy and my aunt bought me a stuffed animal because you cant have real animals in our apartment and i cried about it and when i looked back the stuffed puppy was one replaced with a puppy that look uncannily like it, it didnt seem strange then and i had eventually forgotten about it all together until i started thinking about things or when a girl who bullied me suddenly had a tail. I shook it off i must have just imagined those things i told myself.

when we got to the airport my aunt payed some people to help us get our luggage to baggage claim. she probably didn't need to pay them my aunt was drop dead gorigouas and knew how to use it she could have a guy wrapped around her little finger in 2 seconds flat, but she only used it in "emergencies." Once we got through baggage claim and security we went get something to eat, then we sat and waited for what felt like forever and after two hours got to get on the plain at 9 am. 

"Finally!" i shouted probablly a little to loudly because people shot me weird looks i waved at them laughing. 

all the sudden a though struck through my head

"Today is my birthday Aunt Marry!" i said excitedly, i would finally be turning eleven, my aunt has been tell me "you'll understand when you'r eleven" my entire life and maybe finally i would get to learn what happened to my parents. I didn't even care that I was going to spend 8 hours of it on a plain this meant i would get to learn soon

"It sure is I'm not sure why you got your letter early but i suppose it must have been a mix up," she said mostly to herself. she sure is strange, but then again that's why i love her. I couldn't hide my excitement and practically danced to my seat, people continued to give me strange looks but i was used to it so its not like i cared even one bit. i read a book during take off and eventually dozed of.

I was right outside a house the address read 4 privet drive it didn't sound familiar but i felt the strange urge to go inside when i went to knock on the door my hand went straight through you would think i would panic but i felt totally complete like a part of me had been missing and it had suddenly been filled up i decided to walk though the door until i came across a cupboard under the stairs i don't know why but i was once again drawn to go inside when i got through i saw a boy who looked about a year younger then me sleeping on his bed he had shaggy black hair and a peculiar scar on his forehead he was wearing round glasses and baggy clothes. suddenly his eyes shot open and he looked at me for a moment then he faded away like smoke. 

i woke up to my aunt shaking me saying "lib what do you want for lunch?" i rubbed my eyes was it really already noon wow.

"I don't know let me look through the menu," i said but i couldn't stop thinking about that boy in my dream he seemed so familiar but i couldn't place it. and the dream it felt so real just like the other one, that's the other thing i haven't had a different dream in as long as i can remember so why now? I ordered my food and the waitress came back with it a moment later. I considered telling my aunt about it but something told me not to. 

after a while i settled  in and watched the movie trying to get the dream out of my thoughts for at least a little while.

finally several hours later we landed in london we suprisingly had no layovers.

as we were about to step out of the tunnel thing i thought this is it I'm finally going back to were I'm from, I'm finally going to learn what happened to my family, maybe the dreams will finally stop. Then is stepped onto the ground knowing that I would finally have my questions awnsered
