-Flashback-

"H-Hi there, I'm Laurie Oliver, and I-I'm only..e-erm, 8" I had said to a man who was standing next to my parents, talking to them while I hugged my hippogriff plushie. He had gotten closer to me, and had kneeled down to my small height as soon as he noticed I had said that to him. "Hello, I am Dexter Fortescue, nice to meet you." He had spoken to me gently, as if I wouldn't understand anything he said.I just hugged my plushie a bit tighter, and nodded.He then talked to my parents for a second while I wandered off into my room, slightly wobbling. 

After about an hour or two, I heard a yell of," Laurie doll, mind going downstairs to say bye to Mr Fortescue?" As soon as I could, I walked downstairs, wobbling slightly more than usual.When I had went down, I had said a goodbye to the man, and soon enough, he was gone."M-Mum, do you mind i-if I go out to the garden?" I had asked shakily."Of course you can doll, just be careful, alright?Don't want you to lose you on me, do I?"She told me.I nodded, then wobbled off into our awfully large garden. We weren't wealthy, but we did have a larger than normal house.Our garden has a large forest in it, and I happen to find different creatures there. I even met a hippogriff who saw my plushie and played with it and me. But that day, there was a red headed, freckled boy there, talking to Tommy, the hippogriff I played with and who I named."W-Who a-are you, a-and what are you doing w-with Tommy?"I had asked the boy."T-Tommy?"he had asked in return, then suddenly screamed as Tommy galloped towards me as he saw me, and threw me onto his back.I was giggling the whole time, and landed perfectly on Tommy's back."Yes,T-Tommy.M-My hippogriff fri-"I got cut off, as I had seen the freckled boy faint at the sight of Tommy galloping towards me."T-Tommy!Can y-you pick him u-up?I-I can't reach him." I had stuttered at Tommy, who had nodded, then gently put him on his back, and I held onto Tommy and the boy, so I wouldn't fall, and so Tommy flew us back. Once we reached my home, I had wobbled as fast as I could up the stairs with him in my arms, and got a cup of water, because of all that screaming, he would probably have a dry throat. I shook him gently."W-Wake up, I-I got you some water..y-you hit your head p-pretty hard, y-you know?"I had said quietly, almost in a whisper.He had woken up after I said the words "y-you know". "A-Ah, you're awake. I never l-learn't your n-name."I had said to the freckled boy. "N-Newton Scamander, b-but you can c-call me Newt. What a-about you?W-What's your name?"He replied."Laurel Oliver, but you can call me Laurie."After that day, we became best of friends.

-Flashback end to 1st year-

"Laurie?La-urie?"You could hear down the Forbidden Forest. I raised my head from Tommy, only to see Leta. By Merlin's beard I dislike her. She keeps asking me for everything; to do her homework, to take her into here just to get to the unicorns. The worst thing of all, She uses Newt. Newt has fallen head over heels for her, and I hate it so much.I turn my head towards her and snap at her sharply,"What."Her eyes widened."That isn't how you should speak to me, Laurie.."She told me."Don't.Call.Me.Laurie. Only friends can call me that. You, on the other hand, should call me Laurel."I had said. I was so furious at her, because I had realised of that she uses me and Newt."But aren't we friends?"She had sing-songed to me while batting her eyelashes. I could hear a loud yelp from another tree."We aren't. You just use me for everything Leta."I had told her."including for getting close to Newt.."I had mumbled.All of a sudden, I heard running.I can recognise that running easily. It's Newt."L-Laurie, what are you doing here?Sh-shouldn't you be in class?"He had asked me.I turned my head back to Tommy, but I felt a hand on my shoulder, along with nails digging into it hard."Oh, she was just here with me."Leta told Newt, while I blinked back my tears.Tommy on the other hand, had noticed what had happened, and growled at Leta.I held onto the ground when I felt being pushed down, nearly bashing into Tommy.Leta yelped at Tommy."Get that horrid creature away from me!"She yelped while I got closer to Tommy."M-Mum's fine, T-Tommy dear, M-Mum's fine, no need to attack L-Leta," I had wavered to Tommy.Tommy looked at me to make sure, and I nodded. I looked back at the both of them, and I realised I had called myself Mum to Tommy. There was red all over my face, and I soon heard giggling from my left, which mean't Leta was giggling.I turned away,and I soon heard full on laughter from Leta. I quickly jumped onto Tommy's back, and nodded at him, tears striking my face. He then flew away, and I ignored the shouts of Newt and the laughing of Leta.Merlin's beard I had made a fool of myself, I thought as I weeped onto Tommy's shoulder.

After about an hour of flying, I wobbled back into my common room, and took Tommy in with my, not caring if Professor  Dumbledore saw me or anything like that. All I needed was comfort. To my surprise, No one had noticed me. It was like that one kid, something Potter I think, who had that Cloak of Invisibility, was me. I wobbled over to my bed and saw Tommy about to lay on the floor when I said,"T-Tommy, can you sleep w-with me for tonight..?" Tommy nodded and slowly went into the bed, and I hugged the creature, going to sleep.

I have had enough today, I think.
