Hello, my name is Alia Lily Potter. I am turning 11 years old next Tuesday. I have no parents and live with my godfather. His name is Remus J. Lupin and hes a werewolf, but I'm not supposed to tell anyone. Remus tells me everything that I need to know because he thinks that I need to know it. Like the fact that my mother and father were killed by the dark wizard known as Voldemort, or You-Know-Who. He prefers that I say You-Know-Who, so I don't get into any trouble, so I do. Anyway, apparently the only reason why I wasn't killed was because I was with Remus that night. Everyone knows my twin brother, Harry James Potter because hes the Boy Who Lived. I'm not even in any of the stories. Like my father, I have black hair and brown, almost hazel eyes. Unlike my father, my hair is tamable and long, I must get that from my mother. Sadly, I have my fathers eyesight, so I wear glasses as well, but instead of large round ones, I wear rectangular-shaped glasses.

A few days ago, we went to Diagon Alley to get my school supplies, so Remus and I were currently on our way to Platform 9 3/4. I was really excited to be going to Hogwarts this year because I needed to meet some people my age. Where Remus lived, we didn't know very many people, and they didn't have any children my age at all. I looked up at Remus and he looked down at me and smiled. Remus wasn't as old as some people thought. He had light brown hair that was slowly graying and some fuzz on his upper lip. I call it Peach Fuzz. His eyes were golden and beautiful. He had a lot of scars on his face from his transformations. He was the nicest and most caring man, though.

"Hold on tight, Alia. I'm going to get us onto the platform faster." I nodded and held on to Remus. Within a few seconds, we were in the bathroom of the Kings Cross station. Remus looked down at me before leaving with a pop. I walked outside the bathroom and saw Remus walk out as well. He took my hand and said, "Now we need to get you a cart." I nodded and he led me to where the carts were. When no one was looking, he said a spell and all of my things were in the cart. I smiled up at him and he smiled back before we started walking towards Platforms nine and ten. I blinked and looked at him. He smirked and positioned me in front of him behind my cart. He pushed the cart when no one was looking and I began to run towards the barrier before closing my eyes. I thought that we were going to crash, but we didn't.

I opened my eyes and gasped while saying, "Wow Remus." He looked at me and nodded so I would follow him. I did and we arrived at a large red train that read, Hogwarts Express on the front. I smiled and saw children my age running around. I saw a large family of red heads, and apparently so did Remus because we started walking towards them. All of them got onto the train and we walked up to the one woman. She was rather large, but had a very friendly air about her. She saw Remus and smiled.

"Remus, oh my, I haven't seen you in ages." He smiled and said,

"It has been a while, hasn't it Molly?" She nodded and Remus said, "Oh, this is my god daughter, Alia. She's the daughter of Lily and James." Molly looked down at me and smiled.

"Well now, it seems we've got another Potter heading into Hogwarts this year. I'll send you things when I get the chance my dear; you see I just met your brother today. Oh, I'm Molly Weasley, but you can call me Mrs. Weasley." I smiled and nodded to Molly. "Come on, dear; time to get on the train." I nodded and turned to Remus. I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"I'll miss you, Alia." I smiled at him and said,

"I'll miss you too, Dad." Remus looked down at me and smiled bigger then before because I had never called him dad. I could tell that he was very happy, and when I thought about it, he was like a father to me. I grabbed my stuff and headed on the train just as a blonde boy did. I bumped into him and stumbled back. He turned to me with a disgusted look, but it was wiped off his face. Instead he backed up and let me enter the train first. I had to blush because this was the first kind thing that anyone, other then Remus, had done to me. I got on the train and started to wander around. After a while, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw the blonde boy from earlier.

"Hello," he said with a smile. I smiled back and said,

"Hello."

"I was wondering if you had a place to sit. You look a little lost." I nodded and said,

"No, I have no where to sit. I'm new and since I live out in the country with my father, we don't know anyone." He nodded and took my wrist while leading me to a compartment. Inside of it were two large, and I do mean large, boys. I smiled a small smile before hearing the boy say,

"Oh, this is Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle." I shook hands with them before I turned to the boy. "I'm Draco Malfoy. He stuck out his hand and I shook it."

"I'm Alia." I said, not offering my last name. He nodded and sat down. I put my stuff next to theirs on the rack and sat down next to the one known as Goyle. I was really nervous with being stuck in a compartment full of boys I didn't know. After a few minutes of silence, Draco spoke.

"So, what house do you want to be in?"

"Oh, I'm not sure. Gryffindor sounds like a nice house. My father was in that house." Draco looked at me and nodded.

"You look like a Gryffindor. I personally want to be in Slytherin, like my father." I giggled and said,

"At least we have that in common." He looked at me funny and said,

"What in common?"

"We want to be like our fathers." He nodded and smiled kindly at me. The trolley woman came by and Draco bought me all kinds of goodies. He said that I could have anything I wanted, so I did. We sat in the compartment and ate. As we ate, a young girl with puffy, curly, brown hair opened the compartment door. Malfoy immediately glared at her. I smiled up kindly at her.

"Have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." I shook my head and said,

"We haven't seen any toads at all, sorry." She nodded and walked away. Draco looked at me and said,

"How could you do that?" I blinked.

"Do what?"

"Talk to her all nice and stuff." I giggled at his wording.

"My father is a kind and caring man, and I've known only him my entire life. So, I guess, like I said before, I strive to be like my dad." Draco nodded and turned to Crabbe and Goyle.

"C'mon boys, let's leave her alone to get dressed. We'll go to the bathrooms." I smiled and thanked him before they all left. I shut the compartment door and locked it. I pulled out my robes and got undressed. As I was pulling on my skirt, someone knocked on the door. I was silent.

"Are you done yet?"

"N-no, sorry." I heard a chuckle.

"It's alright, Alia. It's only us, no need to be frightened." I was immediately offended.

"I was no frightened! I was just...surprised is all." I pulled on my shirt and the rest of my robes before I packed it all away and opened the door. Draco smirked at me and entered the compartment.
