Harry Potter's Little Sister
Chapter 1: The Letter From No One
Juliet Patterson had always known being a Patterson. Just a Patterson. Nothing else. Juliet was always happy about her last name. She liked it, that was it, she didn't praise it, she didn't love it. She simply liked it. Because that was all she knew.
"Juliet! Get down here! You need to get the post!" yelled Serena Patterson at her loudest. "Alright Mum! Give me a moment to collect my things!" Screamed Juliet replying to her mum. As Juliet walked down the stairs she swore she saw an owl holding a letter outside the window. She shook her head in disbelief telling herself it was just her imagination. She walked through the door to the kitchen looking through the post as she went. She gave her Godmother Serena her letters, her Godfather Samuel his letters and her Godsister Soeka her letters. She noticed one letter that wasn't addressed to any of her family, so she checked it out. She put her glasses on and read the messy handwriting on the front of the letter. It was yellowish and wrinkled, like parchment. And it was addressed in emerald-green ink. Juliet snuck away from her kitchen, and walked up the stairs making sure there wasn't a mistake on the address. It read:
Ms. J. Patterson
The Third door on the right
43 Libel Lane
Little Whinging
Surrey
The letter seemed so professional, Juliet was afraid to open it. She took the butter knife she forgot to put in the sink when she left the kitchen in her hand. She took it to the paste that was on the end of the flap and stopped. It was so strange to her. It looked, well, like it had an "H" on it, but she couldn't be sure. It was so hard to read. She continued sitting on her bed with the knife so close to the letter and then decided to open it. She pulled off the paste and set it aside. She pulled the piece of parchment out of the envelope and read every word soaking them in. She read the words several times over and over until she heard a loud bang downstairs. She rushed to the front door where she found a rather large man putting the door back in its place. The man had a small cake in his hand. Then Juliet remembered that today was her birthday. She had zoned out due to the "Hogwarts" letter that she thought was just the neighborhood cronies putting stuff in their mail box. But this made her change her mind. "'Ello there! I'm Rubeus Hagrid, but you can just call me Hagrid. All the small ones do, yes they do. I'm Gamekeeper at Hogwarts but you know all 'bout that don't cha?" said Hagrid the Gamekeeper. "Well, um, I'm sorry but I don't." Juliet in a small voice. Her Godparents were very shaken at the moment, but Juliet wasn't really scared, in fact she was overjoyed! "WHAT! YOU NEVER KNEW 'BOUT HOGWARTS? YOU NEVER TOLD HER THE STORY! YOU NEVER EXPLAINED 'BOUT HER OWN BROTHER!" screamed Hagrid at the top of his very large lungs. He grabbed Juliet by the arm and took her out of the house swearing under his breath.
