Year 2082

I’m 14 years old, and my name is Scarlet Hope Baddy, and this is not just another Hogwarts story. It’s the one and only true story about Harry Potter and everything that happened him and his friends.

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP SCARLET!’’ my dad was screaming at me. Enthusiastically.

"Omg dad why you’re waking me up so early? What happened this time?’’ I said, used to his sudden happiness moments.

"It’s not like all the times Scarlet, this is real! I made it! I finally did!’’ dad said, looking extremely happy as he leaving my room to go back to his lab.

I yawned and thought that he maybe he had finally made his Time Machine. An experiment that he was working from 2065 till now. My dad was a physicist and worked for NASA about 3 years and I think he is a great scientist but, he has had a lot of difficult times.

"Coming dad! And hope this is the last time I wake up this way!’’ I said, trying to hide my happiness and not make him suffer, if this is just nothing different than the other times.

I walked into his lab and saw my dad staring with awe, I saw a sparkle in his eyes that he didn’t have the rest of the times, at the weird looking capsule that kind of scared me. His clothes were full of dirt and he seemed tired. Guess he stayed up all night.

"Don’t you think that we have to eat breakfast, and wear something good before the channels come here?’’ I mocked him but my dad looked serious he rolled his eyes and looked me with a look* I finally made it and you thing this is time for jokes?*

‘’Kay’’ I said trying to be serious ‘’Show me your big invention.”

My dad moved from his desk and went to a funny looking controlling desk full of buttons that he never let me go close to. He pushed one big red button that opened the door of the capsule and put an apple inside then closed it again. He put the date 23 July 2082 (today), "What exactly is the time right now?!” he asked.

I looked at my phone ‘’08:32, dad,” then he  added to the date, the time 08:35 and he pressed the green button. The capsule disappeared and made no noise at all.  There was an awkward silence.

08:34. Soon we’ll see… 08:35… I took a big breath and closed my eyes waiting for my dad to start swearing. But he didn’t. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at the capsule with the door open and the apple inside it.

"Oh my, Dad! You did it! You truly did it!!’’ I start crying from happiness but my dad wasn’t doing anything he wasn’t crying, he wasn’t jumping, I couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

‘’Are you okay?’’ I murmured. No response. I looked down trying to concentrate. An idea! When I looked up I saw my dad crying and smiling and then he started laughing. I left in the side the idea. I guess that’s how he shows his big happiness. He hugged me and we cried together.

‘’When are we going? Today? ” I said when as we both calmed down.

"Umm... I know!” he said looking me in the eyes.

‘’ To London 1993”

 "Sounds interesting but, why? ’’ I asked, confused.

“Because that’s when Harry Potter went his fourth year at Hogwarts when he was 14. You are a witch! You could attend Hogwarts!”  

Say wha?? I thought. I was shocked. No more than shocked I was going out of my mind. I was like what the f? Why I didn’t know anything about it? I couldn’t say anything and my father just waited for my response. I was muggle-born or half-blood? Was my dad a wizard too? So many questions that I wouldn’t dare to ask. I was scared of the answers. I was scared of the following change that our lives will have. I was scared of the unknown. But I was also so happy and I couldn’t wait to attend Hogwarts, but these feelings come up waaay after the bad ones.

"Would you like me to explain everything to you?’’ my dad said in not a very confident tone.. I nodded.

"Well now, The big daddy will tell you his story…. It will be better if you recorded it so the interviewers could buy it too’’ my dad said like he was the king of England.

"When did you get that attitude, dad?” I said but did as he said.

“It all started when I was a little kid. Born 11 September 2042 my mother was from Greece, my father from Ireland and lived his childhood at Trikala, Greece. From the start I was a different kid , I wasn’t playing with the other kids , the only thing i was doing was reading science books that I wasn’t pretty much understanding but, I liked to discover new things. My only dream was to study science! I loved trying to explain things and I was spending my spare time staring at the stars and daydreaming about being in that age when big physicists lived and learn from them . I had a lot of scholarships awaiting me to pick when I finished school year 2060. I picked the hardest but my favourite, Mathematics! Not simple mathematics of course, the hardest and undiscovered mathematics. Went to America at one of the most well-known colleges and tried my best to finish college with the best mark.   When i finished, year 2065,i started studying the General Relativity theory and had a brilliant idea to make a time machine based in it. I always fancied time travel and studied it a lot. Then I applied my idea to NASA  because I needed the proper things to make it happen. NASA loved my  idea and make me start right that moment.  I was so happy my dream was coming true. But a terrible accident happened during the research and NASA cut my team at 30 September 2068. I was devastated but that day I met your mother Love(love was her name… her mother loved unique names) Malfoy and fall in love with her. Later that day your mom got pregnant. Yeah weird I know but it was kind of a one night stand between two people who were in love. We stayed together and got married at 6 April 2071. Your mother disappeared mysteriously the next day from their marriage and after a year I found her dead body outside his door with a note, I will find and kill your daughter. You can imagine how I was. But I had to stay strong stay strong and be here for you. We moved to London then . You were almost 3years old when she died. you haven’t seen a lot of pictures from her because I burned everything that made me remember her. Thanks to your aunt, Truth (she is your mum’s sister) we’ve got some pictures of her. "my dad said, like he wasn’t talking about himself.

“Well I knew the most of them but what about my mother?’’ I asked.

‘"Your mother was a half-blood. Daughter of Scorpius, Hyperion Malfoy (son of Draco Malfoy) and Rose Weasley (daughter of Ron Weasley). She went on Hogwarts and I met her when she was at research about muggles. Oh! Now that I mentioned muggles, I’m not full muggle! I have wizard blood running throw my veins! From my mother but I’m not a wizard who was also a slytherin.” my dad said with a smile on his face that lightened every single inch of his face. His eyes was sparkling with this power and full of emotion look that was very familiar his eyes was what I got from him and what he got from his wizard mother Vivian, big almond shaped eyes with a warm, loving dark brown colour and huge eyelashes. Oh I loved our eyes.

‘’ WHAT? HOW LONG DID YOU KNOW THAT?” I screamed.     

“Your mother said it to me the day that we met. We truly loved, trusted and opened up to each other from the first moment. When-haha that’s a funny story, when your mother said she was pregnant I thought 'oh we are going to have little wizard babies'” my dad said with a look of happiness and sadness.

"But if it wasn’t your mother I wouldn’t have you!” he said and a tear ran from his eye. He was ready to fall apart.

‘’Ok daddy, that is enough, I think you need sleep”  I said “ We’ll talk about the rest later”.

"Sure but, you’ll have to make lunch or dinner or whatever, it depends on what time of the day I’ll wake up little lady,” it is clear that I took my dad’s sarcastic mood pops out the wrong times.

"Yes daddy, now take a nap like the little sleepy kitty you are,” I answered in the same tone. I can understand my dad and he can understand me. If I lose him I’ll lose everything.

Hello! So I hope you will love my book as much as I love it!

It's a new start for Scarlet so as a proud Gleek I posted Don't Stop Believing because it was the start of the Glee club and always gives me hope to go on.
