Disclaimer: I wouldnt be writing this now if it was all mine.
Summary: What happens when Harry dreams become reality? Terrible summary I know. But, I'm here to write this for you not explain it.
Author's Note: Okay, I've written other things before but I always end up removing them because I get stuck and/or people won't review. I know my writing isn't perfect but its just for fun so don't wear me down on every gramatical error k? I might not be able to update for a while cuz I have tryouts for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever coming up at the Project Challenge Playhouse. (Any of you from Anderson, South Carolina may know what I'm talking about. Well I talk to much so on with the story!
Pairs: Its gonna flip back and forth on whether Charlotte goes out with Harry or Draco. Im sure of Ron and Hermione though. I mean everyone knows that one is bound to happen sooner or later.
Dedication: I dedicate this to my very good friend Natalie. You are great! Thanks for your support on my other story and I miss you so much! I also dedicate this to my very wonderful sisters Jillian and Tara who are suffering terrible soreness from the wreck they were in today. Dont worry though, it wasnt serious. Just some complaining about having a totaled car and thanking God that Jillian didnt break her nose (She is kind of vain).
Hope you like:
Chapter One: What A Strange One
Harry jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs. "MUM" he screamed jumping over the railing halfway down the stairs.
"What are you yelling at me for? And how many times have I told you not to jump over the stair rail! You're going to break your neck one of these days!" Lily scolded her son over her shoulder, trying to clean his sister's face and hands.
Harry picked up his little sister from behind and started swinging her around her making her squeal and laugh. "You've gotten into the chocolate again?!" he exclaimed seeing the brown on her face and hands. "You really need to start hiding it better." He muttered to his mother setting the little girl down and watching her run away giggling.
"I can't help it. Lorelei is just to... all over the place. I can't control her anymore than I can control you or your father." Lily turned her back to her son and started getting things ready to cook breakfast. "Now what were you yelling about?"
"Do you know what today is?" He asked her grinning as he started setting the table to eat.
"How could I forget? Today you go shopping for a new broom with your dad and Uncle Sirius. Its not like it hasn't been the only thing you've been talking about for the past three weeks."
They both concentrated on their own tasks until breakfast was ready. Harry helped his mother set it on the table and before he could announce it was time to eat his dad burst through the door with Lorelei on his back.
"Ready to go to Diagon Alley?" James asked his son grinning just as broadly as Harry.
"I get to go too. Right daddy?" Lorelei asked her father starring up at him with wide green eyes.
"Oh, don't give me the innocent wide eyed look! That one gets me every time!" He exclaimed shoveling food into his mouth at the same time. "Here's the deal. You stop getting into the chocolate and you can go to some of the stores with Charlotte."
Lorelei brightened with this and started chugging down milk. Harry, however, did a double take at this news and tried to calm his stomach. "Charlotte's coming?" he asked trying to sound as cool as he could.
"She got back from Italy yesterday and I think she's going to get some things for school." His father answered, not noticing Harry's awkwardness. Lily however gave her son a knowing smile.
Harry turned around and scanned the crowded street after hearing someone call his name.
"Oy! Harry over hear!" He finally saw his best friends Ron and Draco heading towards him.
"How are you mate?"
"Good summer?"
"Great and the best." Harry answered both of them "And you two?" he asked them.
"Awesome", they answered at the same time.
They began in a deep conversation about the latest Quiditch match they had seen until Harry's father called him over to go into the Quiditch supply store.
"Hello boys" he started to greet Harry's friends until something caught his eye over their heads.
"Sirius! How are you? Had a good vacation I gather?" James shouted over the noise of the crowd.
It was all Harry could do to keep from laughing at seeing his uncles scowling face. He was red everywhere you could see and was in obvious pain. But then Harry stilled when he saw who was trailing along beside him.
"Wow" Draco said when he saw her too. Ron showed his appreciation be emitting a low whistle only the three of them could here.
It was the most beautiful girl either of them had ever seen. Harry knew because she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. And it scared him to death when he realized who she was.
The girl beside Sirius was absolutely breathtaking. She had black hair like her father, which was long and nearly always tied back loosely with a black ribbon. She had pale skin, a very hem, hem, womanly figure, and her features were all delicate which that alone made her stunning, but what was making all the guys who walked past her get whiplash was her eyes. They were such an icy, light blue color they could sometimes be called white. It might have looked odd on some girls but on someone like her it made her just as beautiful. There was no denying it. Charlotte Black was as close to an angel as any of them were going to get.
"Hi Harry" She said, smiling when she stopped in front of them. She paused and looked at Ron and Draco, clearly sizing them up. "Who are you?" She asked Draco smiling flirtatiously at him.
"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." He answered smiling just as charmingly at her.
Harry, who was used to his friends' techniques of chasing after women, sighed and rolled his eyes. "Charlotte these are my friends Draco and Ron. Guys this is Sirius's daughter Charlotte."
"If your Sirius's daughter how come we've never met you?" Draco asked inching closer and closer to Charlotte.
"I've been in Italy with my grandmother the last five years. I'm going to go to Hogwarts this year though. You don't think you could help me catch up do you?" She asked Draco, staring up at him with her big blue eyes.
Wait, that wasn't good. Anyone who stayed alone in somewhere like the library for a long time with someone like Draco was bound to end up in some type of snogging fest with him.
Harry quickly intercepted for Draco. "You know I think it would probably make the most sense if our friend Hermione helped you. I mean she's the smartest witch in our class and that way it wouldn't interfere with Draco's quiditch practice or his homework."
"Okay, whatever."
Harry sighed in relief. Wait why did I just do that. Charlotte's like a sister to me. What does it matter if she starts going out with Draco? I mean, I'd rather her go out with one of my friends than some slimeball like Snape (A/N: Not Snape the teacher. Snape the teacher's son.) I mean, it's not like I like her or anything.
Charlotte picked up Lorelei who had been tugging on her tank top endlessly for the last minute. "What do you think about hittin' the shops squirt?" Lorelei laughed and wrapped her arms around Charlotte's neck. "To the shops we go then."
Lorelei started down the street. "You don't want to shop for brooms with us?" Harry called after her. "I want to do that as much as I'd want to spend my time in a room full of muggles!", she yelled back to him.
The boys followed Sirius and James into the Quiditch supply store and the moment they were away from the adults Ron elbowed Harry in the stomach. "Why didn't you ever tell us you had a goddess as a cousin?" Ron asked furiously. "And why did you tell her that Hermione could help her?" Draco asked just as furiously.
"She's not a goddess, I'm not related to her, and I thought I was helping you out.", Harry answered, lying about the last part.
Draco scowled and walked away, browsing the shelves. Ron, however, held back. "Listen, mate, I might have picked up on it but our friend isn't always as smart."
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked looking up at him incredulously. Ron just shook his head and followed Draco around the shop, leaving Harry by himself to wonder what in the world his friend was talking about.
Harry sat up in bed sweating and burning up. He ripped the curtains away from his bed and ran to Ron's side. He was about to shake him when Ron sat up.
"Harry I just had the most unreal dream! It was so cool!" Ron said swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
"I did too! It seemed so real but I know it couldn't have been. Mom and dad were alive and we were friends with Draco of all people."
"It was the same in my dream. Except we were bloody rich!"
Just then the door to their room burst open and Hermione ran into the room, slamming the door behind her. She flicked out her wand and made the candles all come on, causing a few grunts from the still sleeping dorm rooms. "Harry! Ron! You wouldn't believe it. I just had the most realistic dream, but it was totally backwards!" She exclaimed. She had just sat down at the foot of Ron's bed when they heard a scream from the common room, causing her to jump back up.
They glanced at each other before running out of the room, leaving their very confused fellow students behind them. It took a few minutes for Hermione to produce an illuminating fire from the worn out flames. They noticed the girl at once she was standing in the middle of the room, staring straight back at them, her blue eyes wide. Harry knew those eyes, he had seen them before. In a dream.
