[y/n pov]

I walked into the leaky cauldron and someone called Hagrid's name, asking him if he wanted the usual. I was still getting used to everyone's accents.

"No thanks tom i'm just here to get y/n her school supplies!"

"Y/n as in y/n l/n?"

"The y/n l/n?"

"It had been a while since you'd gone out in public and forgot many people had a distaste for you, it was understandable but still hurtful.

We walked up to a large white bank with the words GRINGOTTS BANK carved into the titling structure. I walked into the intricately designed bank and noticed goblins working at tall desks.
"Miss l/n here would like to make a withdrawal." Hagrid stated, looking the goblin in the eye.

"Does miss l/n have her key?" He went from looking at Hagrid to staring me down.

"I got it righ' 'ere" Hagrid said ending the glare down between the goblin and I.

Hagrid, the goblin, and I went to a little cart that lead to my vault. It was like a broken roller coaster, flying up, down, and to the side ripping around. I thought I got whiplash. Once we were at vault 697 the goblin took the key and inserted it into the door. Gears shifted and the door clicked before slowly opening to reveal what my mother had left me.

We walked into Flourish and Blotts and bought my textbooks. Then we bought the rest of my supplies and I only needed a wand. For some reason 1st and 2nd years didn't have their own wands but basic school wands at Beauxbatons.

We walked into ollivanders, it's smelled of wood and cardboard. An old man on a rolling ladder came up to the front desk.

"Ah miss l/n I was wondering when i'd be seeing you." mr. ollivander stated while he looked around for a wand.

"Here try this one it's holly wood and dragon heart string." mr. ollivander said as he passed me a wand.

I grabbed the wand and gave a flick, a vase shattered and wands and papers flew off the shelves.

"The same thing happens to mr potter a few years ago! I wonder..." mr ollivander whispered as he paced to the back.

I waited patiently for mr. ollivander to return, and when he did he had a brown wand with leaf shaped detailing on the handle part.

"Give this a wave now dear." Ollivander ushered.

I flicked the wand and a beautiful gold light and wind swished around me.

"Ah I new it would be you destined for this wand. you will do great things dear." The old man said turning around.

"Sir what do you mean great things?" I inquired, curious about his thoughts.

"Well this wand is blackthorn wood and phoenix feather. And the pheonix that gave this feather gave only two others. It just so happens that mr potter whom you share that scar with and the man that gave you two the scar are the ones destined for these wands." he said pointing towards the scar on my neck.

*******

I asked Hagrid many questions, and to my surprise he answered anything I wanted to know.
"Your mother and lily; harry's mother, ran to your room where you and harry were playing in a crib. They sacrificed themselves for you two. And when you know who fired the killing curse, the sacrifice your mothers made saved you. You know who hasn't been seen since.  That's how you got yer scar. You two are the children who lived."

"And does Harry know any of this?"

"Course he does."

________________

I had gotten there during the sorting ceremony and Hagrid said he'd get my stuff brought up and my schedule would be put in my new dorm once I was sorted. I was anxious to walk in, everyone's groups bear my age had already been solidified years ago. And I don't exactly have an amazing reputation.  I swallowed my fear and opened the doors to the hall as quietly as possible thankfully the sorting had already been done and many were too caught up in their own conversations to look my way.

I sat down on the stool after being instructed to my a nice looking older woman and a hat was placed on my head. I begged the bay to be quiet in my head and seemingly reading my thoughts, it sorted me quickly into gryffinidor, which surprised me slightly. I was expecting more or a racenclaw, but im not disappointed.
[third person pov]

Y/n contemplated just going right up and sitting next to a raven haired boy with bright green eyes, very well know to be Harry potter. She knew who she was sitting by, if anyone was going to be accepting of her she thought it would be him that would understand.

Caught off guard by someone walking up to him in the middle of the feast, he and his friends turned to the girl.

"Is it ok if I sit here?" She asked, pointing to an open seat by a girl with bushier hair. The trio had known the girl was coming this year, but still took a while to respond. Just before she could leave though, the girl with bushy hair spoke up, "Of course," she spoke, "I'm Hermione and this is Ron and Harry." The two boys awkwardly smiled at her as they were introduced.

[2nd person pov]

You thanked them for being kind and introduced yourself, it was quite tense at first. They had let you know their Headmaster thankfully had filled them in about the situation as Hagrid had done for you. Over the next thirty minutes though you got to know them as they did  you. Hermione seemed very kind and you quickly grew fond of her.

Everyone finished the feast and dumbledore said something about dementors and sirius black though you weren't really paying attention, you just kept playing with her robes hoping to find a bit of comfort in this new place. You noticed harry shift in his seat when he said dementors but didn't say anything. After the headmaster speech Hermione kindly offered to show you around and to the dorms. You gratefully accepted hoping to acclimate to the new place quickly. But where you went whispers followed.

"Is that really her?"

"I wonder what her scar looks like"

"A lightening bolt you idiot"

"Do you think she really has it, ya know the curse?"
