A/N: My first Harry Potter fanfic, even though Harry Potter was my first fandom. I hope you like it, please read and review!
Macyn lay in bed, full of anticipation. Tomorrow she would be 11, and she couldn't be more excited. She always loved birthdays, but she had been looking forward to this day her whole life. She would no longer be a little girl, but a young woman. Unable to wait awake, she drifted off into sleep.
...
"Macyn!"
"Mum?"
"Happy Birthday, dear!"
And then she remembered. She leaped out of bed, hugged her mother, and ran down the stairs. "Thank you, mum", she said.
"You're welcome, Macyn."
She sat down and began eating her breakfast, when suddenly an owl flew into the window. Macyn shrieked when it dropped a letter on her head, but she picked it up.
Macyn Iylles, you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...
Macyn was confused. Hogwarts? Witches? Huh? She kept reading, and by the end, she was no longer confused, but excited.
"Mum, I'm a witch!"
"Macyn..."
But it was too late. Nothing would change the girl's mind.
...
"Wow", said Macyn, seeing Diagon Alley. The Hogwarts representative who had been assigned to escort her smiled at her reaction. Macyn had been given just enough money to buy all her supplies and a pet if she wanted. She quickly went through the list, then thought about what pet to get. She though about the owl that had delivered her letter, and decided to get one. She got a beautiful snowy owl. Then it was time for her wand.
...
"Maple and unicorn hair, 11 inches, flexible."
Macyn waved the wand, and sparks flew out of it. The man looked shocked.
"No one... no one ever gets it on the first try."
Macyn smiled and bought the wand.
...
On September 1st, Macyn's parents, sister, and brother waved goodbye to her at King's Cross, and she went to try and find Platform 9... and 3/4? Did such a thing exist?Confused, she walked around, hoping to find another witch or wizard.
"Harry, relax. She'll be fine. She's the daughter of Harry Potter, the most famous wizard of all time."
Macyn stopped and looked at where the voice had come from. Harry Potter. She'd read all about him. Macyn was one of the brightest girls in her school, and had already memorized all her textbooks. Next to who she assumed was Harry was a redheaded woman, the one who had spoken.
"Excuse me?", Macyn said politely.
"Yes?", asked the woman.
"Are you... witches and wizards?"
The woman smiled. "We are. Are you as well?"
Macyn smiled. "Yes."
"Where are your parents?", she asked.
"They dropped me off. They don't want to meet any witches or wizards. I'm a muggleborn", Macyn explained.
"What's your name?"
"Macyn."
"Well, Macyn, I'm Ginny, and this is Harry. These are our children, James, Albus, and Lily. Lily is starting this year."
"Me too."
"Are you looking for the platform?", Ginny asked.
"Yes", Macyn replied.
"Well, the platform is right over there", she said, pointing. "Just go straight into the brick wall between platforms 9 and 10."
Macyn frowned. That seemed unwise. Then again, there was magic here. She ran right at the brick wall and broke through onto the platform. The bustling was crazy. There were so many people. Ginny, Harry, and the rest came right behind her. James walked right up and said, "Need some help with your trunk?"
"Yes, thank you", said Macyn. He helped her put her trunk and owl on the train, and then smiled and went to find his friends. Macyn sat down in the empty compartment, and Lily sat down next to her.
"Hi", she said. "I'm Macyn Iylles."
"I'm Lily Potter."
