Another Harry Potter Love story *Gracie Style*

Chapter 3

I walk out of the doorway, and the one person I wanted to see was right there and he walk fast walking towards me. When he gets to me I wrap my arms around his neck and I start to cry again. He kind of just holds me until I stop crying. "Gracie, Gracie, What's Wrong?" He asks me. We walk back to the common room and once we get there we sit on the couch. I begin to tell him exactly what happened.

*Flashback*

He's standing outside the door to say the password for me to go up there. It's sugar sticks. I follow him all the way up that huge staircase, and embarrassingly I am slightly winded at the top. I sit down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. He looks very serious about this conversation. "So Ms. Gracie, how was your first day of Hogwarts?" He asks me with a slight smile. "It was very nice; I have been looking forward to this day since I knew what Hogwarts was." I tell him. "Ok so the reason I ask you to come up here is about your parents." I felt my heart drop to my stomach. My parents? "Like, My biological parents?" I ask him. He nods his head. "What are their name, where are they, why did they leave me on the Weasleys doorstep?" I stream off a line of question I had been asking myself since I was five. "Ms. Gracie, I do not know of your mother and she just gave you to your father and left. But your father loves you very much he also never wanted to give you up but his situation required." All that was going through my head right now was, my father actually wanted me and he didn't want to give me up. I don't know when I started crying all I knew though was that I couldn't stop. He came over and patted me on my back until I stopped crying. I couldn't believe it. "Can I talk to him?" I sniffled. " Is he here now?" I ask looking around. "No Gracie, He is not here, but he does want to talk to you. He suggested that you two can write back and forth." He tells me. Write back and forth? With my dad, I'm so excited. "Ok so what do I do? Like write a letter then give it to you, so you can send it?" I ask him. "Yes, Gracie I think that will work quite well. You may leave now if you wish." I thank him then begin a slow decent down the stairs, doubting everything I've known my whole life, I thought my parents were dead.

*Flashback over*

Harry gave me another hug. But I felt much better. Soon Ron, Hermione, and Ginny came up along with Fred and George. They asked why I was crying and I told them the same story I had just told Harry. "That's awesome Gracie, you'll finally get to know your biological dad." Ginny told me, while walking over to give me a hug. "That's great, little sister." Fred and George chorused and this time Ron joined in. "Thanks guys but right now I really just want to go write my dad a letter." I tell them. They nod and Ginny and Hermione follow me up the stairs. I grab a piece of parchment, and a quill out of the trunk on the bottom of my bed. I sit down on my bed and I begin to write.

Dear Dad,

It's me your daughter Gracie, Dumbledore said that I could write you a letter so here I go, I'll start by telling you a bit about myself. My hair is a light brown, I have blue eyes and some tiny freckles around my nose. I am 5'6, yes I know that's tall, my shoes are a size 8 and sometimes I wear makeup, but only the slightest bit. MY best friends in the entire world is Harry, and Hermione. Basically my Weasley siblings are Percy, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, and my baby sister Ginny. She goes to school here already even though she's only 10, because she wanted to go with me and Ron, so the whole summer she was doing extra work so that she could prove she was already ready to go. Ron, my slightly older brother is a tad overprotective and is also very best mates with Harry. Harry, maybe you know him better as Harry Potter, he is very nice and we were basically already friends the first time we talked. Also since nobody else is going to read this but you, I kind of maybe fancy him a little bit, but you're not allowed to tell anyone.

P.S. When you write me back can you maybe tell me my middle or last name because I've always wanted to know.

Lots and lots of love,

Gracie

I looked back at the letter and was very pleased with myself. I'll drop it by Dumbledore's office in the morning. I put up my quill and ink and head down to the common room, to go meet the boys, because Ginny and Hermione had already gone back down. When I reach the bottom of the stair s I realize the only seat left is the one beside Harry so I blush, but quickly gain my composure as I skip over and plop down beside him. He turns over towards me. "How did writing a letter to your dad go." He asks. "It was really nice I told him what I looked like and about all the people in my life. And then I asked him to please tell me my middle or last name." He chuckles at that last part. "That is something you would definitely say Gracie." He says. "We should probably start heading to bed," Hermione suggests, "we have school again tomorrow and I don't want to be too groggy for classes." She states. "Ok, Mione we'll go to bed soon but this fire is really warm and I'm comfortable." I tell her, she giggles and the whole common rooms goes quiet eventually I feel myself drifting off to sleep.

*Dream*

"Is that Gracie? James, James, do you see her?" Who are these people? Why do they know my name? "Gracie it's me do you remember me? It's Lily, Lily Potter, I'm Harry's mum." She tells me. Lily? She's dead, I know she's dead. "Of course she doesn't remember you darling she was 2 last time we saw her." The man beside her, James say's. "Gracie don't be freaked out, we are alive, don't tell anyone we contacted you or we could be in real danger, it's better for the wizarding world to think that we are dead and gone. At least for now." She adds quickly. "Honey, do us a favor and stay near Harry, and don't let him get himself hurt." She tells me. I nod my head because I cannot speak in this dream reality. Lily comes over and kissed my cheek and James gives me a hug. "Stay safe Gracie and protect our boy, we love you darling." They chorus and with that I jolt awake.

I am not I'm my bed but, wait where am I? I look around and see that I am laying across somebody's lap. I look up and, oh its Harry my cheeks immediately turn tomato red. He has his arm around me and he is also asleep. I carefully and ever so gently lift his arm up and lay it on the couch beside me. Then I slowly raise myself up and slowly get onto the floor. Once I'm safely on the floor I stand up and walk up to my dormitory. Ginny and Hermione are already in their beds and the empty bed is still on the other side of the room. I head over to my bed which is in between Mione's and Ginny's I lay down and I go right back to sleep. This time I don't dream at all.
