Chapter 1: why didn't you tell me?

Potter house

Ginny woke up screaming for the third time that week. She had been having another nightmare, and these weren't just any nightmares they were horrible replays of events that took place nearly 9 years ago. Flashing green light, the baby sitter dead on the floor and worst of all her little girl rose missing, gone, kidnapped. She had only been two, Ginny had taken James to the doctor just for one night, and someone had broken in and kidnapped the baby.

Soon strong comforting hands were closing around her.

"Its ok, it's ok," Harry soothed her "just a nightmare, its over, its ok" he soothed her until she was again calm enough to speak

" why are they coming back now they were just once in a while for years and now they happen all the time" ginny was shaking with fear of the bad memories why did they have to come now.

"Well it might be because she's 11 and would be starting Hogwarts this year" harry suggested. The nightmares always seemed to come when an important event would have occurred in the little girl's life, like birthdays, Christmas, and the first days of school. Ginny knew this; she knew that if she was alive (and ginny was sure she was) she would be going to Hogwarts this year.

"Do you think we should ask James of cimone…?"

"Maby we should talk with Ron and Hermione later but now there is due to be -"

"MUM, DAD" Harry's statement was cut short by the shouts of nine year old lily.

James and lily were Harry and Ginny's other two kids. James Sirius was 12 he looked just like his father (only he had hazel eyes) and as any weasley/potter that's named after two of the wizarding world's best troublemakers (aka, James potter and Sirius black); he enjoyed pranks and annoying his cousins and little sister. Lily Luna was nine she looked just like her mother (only with Harry's green eyes) and was usually a little princess (except when James was involved.)

Harry sighed and heaved himself out of bed to stop whatever the argument was before lily could resort to magic. Ginny followed him down the hall and wondered to herself what rose was doing right now.

Lee house

"Well, that's the last box what do you think kenna?" Mrs. Lee asked her daughter happily, mackenna was 11 years old and she had moved to great brittin with her mom shortly after her dad had died. He had been a police officer and was shot in a violent shoot out that killed four other. The two women had stayed just long enough for the funeral before escaping to England were Mrs. Lee had grown up and were kenna was born. Kenna had been rather quiet the last few weeks, and with good reason, but it still seamed to worry her mother quite a bit. "Why don't you go to the park and try to make some new friends?" she suggested to her daughter. Kenna nodded once in agreement.

Kenna looked nothing like her parents; her mother had thick blond hair and her dad light brown. Kenna hair on the other hand was flaming red and she had freckles all over her face, another difference was the eyes her eyes were chocolate brown while her parents were light blue.

Kenna walked down the small street to the small park on the corner, she sat down on a bench and looked around. There were a few families here and there but one in particular caught her eye. It was a rather typical family nothing rely to set them apart from the other small families at the park, except, kenna noticed that all but one in the family (the women who was probably the mom) had the same shocking red hair and freckles as her. There eyes though were different the little boy looked a lot like him mom, he had her bushy hair (though hers was brown and his was red) and also her dark brown eyes. The girl though looked more like her father, sleek red hair and hazel eyes, she even his air of mischief (though he hid his better.)

The girl seemed to see kenna starring, came over to her bench, and sat down. After a minute or so, she seemed to get bored of sitting so she started a conversation.

"Hi, I'm Cimone weasley what's your name?" she asked brightly

"My name's Mackenna lee, but I usually go by kenna" she answered

"Well its nice to meet you is you new, cause I thought I knew all the kids in the neighborhood?" cimone asked

"Yeah my mom and I just moved here from America" kenna said remembering the events that brought them to England.

"oh, well maby we can hand out some time you can come to my house and vise versa" cimone seemed delighted that she had made a new friend, most of her friends were her cousins because most people thought she was weird, a freak, as she told kenna these things over the next few weeks. Kenna had just been happy to tell her mom that she had a friend.

About three weeks after the girls had met at the park they sat sprawled out on kenna's bed talking about random things until cimone remembered what she had been waiting to tell kenna about.

"You know that boarding school I have been talking about for a while" cimone asked. How could she forget cimone had been talking about it for weeks?

"You mean Hogwarts academy for exceptional young children" cimone nodded "then yes I know exactly what you're talking about"

Cimone seemed to be bursting with happiness and kenna knew she had been accepted.

Weasley (Ron and Hermione's) house

Tears were streaming down cimone's face as she walked home from Kenna's house. She wasn't sad because of anything they did, Cimone was sad because she had made a best friend (who wasn't related to her) and now she would be leaving for Hogwarts for the whole school year. She thought about these things as she walked to her small house just outside surrey in a small neiborhood called mintville.

Once inside the house her mother saw her crying and rushed over to her.

"Cimone are you ok" Hermione asked worriedly

"Uhuh, it's just that im going to Hogwarts and I wont see kenna all year" she sobbed

"I see, when I went to Hogwarts I had to leave my friends behind to, not that I had many being a know-it-all" just then a quick knock sounded on the door and Hermione rushed to get Hugo to stop making his toy soldiers battle. When she was done with that cimone answered the door surprised to see kenna standing there with a huge smile on her face.

"Why didn't you tell me" she said scoldingly
