As The World Caves In // D. Malfoy

Chapter 1

      The Taylor house was unusually quiet as Harper Lee Taylor rolled out of bed. The last few mornings were very hectic as they had just started moving into their new house. But it was odd today was quiet, normally the first days of school was the loudest day of the year. Lee looked around her room, she hadn't had a lot of time to unpack everything so their were still boxes everywhere. Her mother would have a fit if she saw her room.

      The only really organized item in the room was her school trunk. It was neatly packed and ready to loaded into the car. By her trunk was her barn owl, Remy. She had recieved Remy as a gift her first year of school. "How you doing buddy? I would let you out but you really don't know the area well enough yet. Just wait till we get to school, ok?" Lee said while petting Remy. She then got dressed into a crewneck and leggings.

      She decided that it was finally time to face the rest of her family. She made her way down the steps stopping at the bottom. Right to the left of her was the big grand piano she had inherited when her grandpa Glenn passed away. She walked over to it and started playing a little bit. This must of finally woken the rest of her family up because Gianna started screaming for her to stop. "SHUT THE FUCK UP HARP, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU PLAY ANOTHER NOTE!" To mess with her sister she played a c minor chord. Gianna came barreling down the stairs with hate in her eyes.

      The two sisters started chasing themselves around the house. Occasionally stopping and looking around as they discovered new rooms of them house. As they ran passed their house elf Binks, he threw himself out of the way and he hid. "Sorry Binks, I didn't mean to scare you," Lee apologized to him while still trying to get away from her older sister. As they ran into the kitchen, Tom and Vanessa Taylor stepped into the kitchen to see what all the noise was.

      "What the bloody hell are you doing?" Their father said while the girls came to a stop. They looked at each other before Gianna let go of Lee, and looked back at their parents.

      "Dad, we get you originally come from England. But no one uses 'bloody' anymore," Gianna told her father trying to get out of the trouble their in and start him on a rant about the fact he is cool and "hip" as he says.

      "Gianna, you aren't getting out of this one. You girls need to start getting along, you guys can't be fighting when their is a literal war beginning," Vanessa scolded the two girls. "Anyways, now that everyone is up. Are you two ready for school?"

     Gianna sighed, while Lee turned to see Ozzie, the family owl, fly in with two letters. "Why are we getting another Hogwarts letter?" Lee asked as Ozzie dropped the letters onto the kitchen counter. "Haven't we already been accepted?" The two Taylor girls took their letters and started opening them.

"Dear Harper Lee Taylor,

      As the following school year starts today, here are some things you will need to know. The Hogwarts Express leaves at 11 at King's Cross Station, and it does not wait for anyone. Ask your fellow classmates Harry and Ron if you would like to know more about that. I think they know plenty.

      As for your Hogwarts house, you will be sorted upon arrival. Since you and your sisters are transfers, you will be sorted with the first years. Though, you will not be traveling with the first years. Just kindly stand in the back of the Great Hall and wait for the first years to waddle their way in.

      I have made it my duty to make sure you and your sisters transfer to Hogwarts is as smooth as a chocolate frog. If you have any problems or concerns, please do contact me.

Sincerely,

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"

      "Stand in the back??" Gianna almost yelled. "THAT DOES NOT MAKE THIS SITUATION FEEL ANY BETTER?"

      "Gianna, please do not yell," Vanessa scolded the girl. Though Lee didn't say anything, she felt the same way G did. Standing awkwardly in the back of the great hall didn't sound any better then being known as 'Hurling Harper'. At least she had her sister though.

Right???
