Chapter 1
Every year there is a gathering where the people in my family get together and decide who is going to have me when. Nobody wants to keep me so they trade me off.
You see my mother got pregnant with me at 15. She thought it was so cool to be dating someone that was 5 years older than her until she got pregnant with me. After she had me she gave me to her parents and disappeared.
They taught me all about magic without sending me to the Witchcraft and Wizardry school called Hogwarts. I want to go there and always have. My grandfather was a retired teacher at Hogwarts so he could freely teach me magic. Grandpa never wanted me to go to Hogwarts because my father is a teacher there. My father was working to become a teacher there and was some sort of intern when he got my mother pregnant.
I permanently lived with my grandparents until about 4 years ago when my grandpa was diagnosed with some strange disease he got while on a trip. Afterwards my grandma had to take care of grandpa and not me so she asked my aunts and uncles to help her.
Last week my grandpa died. Today is the funeral and the once a year gathering. Kind of Ironic, huh? We have it at the end of every summer.
As of right now I am descending the stairs at the reception after the funeral. We had the funeral and now I have to listening to people telling stories about my grandpa. My Aunt Josie was starting on one of her many stories, just as I noticed my grandma go outside. I followed behind her until I noticed that she was going to talk to someone.
"Why Albus Dumbledore, I didn't think that you were going to come." said grandma hugging the man. He was probably my grandmas age.
"I wasn't. But I realized that now that Michael is dead there is no one to teach the girl." he said hugging grandma back.
"One of my sons could teach her." grandma said.
"I would allow it but the Ministry of Magic would not be so understanding." he stared at grandma for a while and neither of them said anything. "She has to go to Hogwarts, Carol, and you know it."
Grandma closed her eyes and nodded. "Yes, I guess she does. When do you need her by?"
"Before the start of school so I can take her to get the supplies she needs. Tomorrow morning will be the best time."
"Okay I'll drop her off at Diagon Alley. Does her father know?" grandma looked very worried.
"No I'm going to have to go back to the school and talk to all the teachers. I need to get going but I will see you tomorrow." In a second he was gone and my grandma was yelling for me.
I ran behind the house so she wouldn't know that I was listening in and waited for her to find me. She told me everything that I had already overheard. I had to be ready by tomorrow and believe me I was already ready.
Please Please Review. I'm not so sure about this story and I need all the opinions I can get. If I continue this the chapters will get longer I just wanted to write the idea down.
