AN: This is my first story so I hope you'll enjoy it!

In the middle of Los Angeles on nr.14 South Maple Drive, 13 year old Sofie Winter lay sound asleep in her bed. She woke with a start by someone shaking her shoulder.

"What the mmfff…"she started to say but a hand covered her mouth.

"Shhh. You must be quiet if we are to get you out of this house safely." a male voice said.

Sofie nodded and examined her mysterious quest. An old man with a long white beard, some funny looking clothes and half moon spectacles stood in front of her. "What the hell is he doing in my room and what does he want?"she thought.

"Let me introduce myself." He said. "I am Professor Albus Dumbledore. I am the headmaster of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm sure you've heard of me." He said pointing at the Harry Potter books in her bookshelf.

"But…but I thought that it was all only made up!" I said.

"If it only were so…" Dumbledore shook his head sadly. "I don't want a life like that for Harry Potter. I am changing a few things so that there may not even be one. You are a very special and talented girl Sofie." he said. "I am sending you back in time to live with a certain family with hope that it will change the future. Until you have finished your task and you no longer are in danger you can not see your family. But once everything is fine you can see them again. Do you think you do this for me, Sofie?" he asked. (AN: I know that it is different in the books but let's just pretend that the past is now.)

Sofie thought for a moment. Then she answered. "Prove it. Prove to me that you are a wizard and that you're not lying."

"You are a very bright girl, Sofie." he said. "Of course I'll prove it. Accio suitcase!" he said. Sofie's bright green suitcase came flying in through the door.

"Wow!" Sofie said. "I believe you now, but why did you summon my suitcase?"

"Well, you will need it to place your belongings in." he answered. "I'm putting an expanding charm on it so that you can fit all of your stuff."

Sofie nodded and started running around packing all of her things.

"Now you will need to write a letter to your family telling them about what has happened." Dumbledore said.

She took a piece of paper and a pen and started to write.

Dear Mom, Dad and Melanie,

Due to certain circumstances I must leave you. I can not tell you where I'm going but I will try to send you a letter once a year. We may not ever meet again so I just want to thank you for every thing that we have done together and all the memories I have. You have been the best family ever! Melanie, I know we have been fighting a lot lately but I just wanted to say sorry and I still love you no matter what.

I love you all!

Sofie

With that she placed the letter on her bed.She was determined that she would finish her task and see her family again.

"I'm ready." Sofie said.

"Take my arm and lets go." Dumbledore answered.

Sofie took a hold of her suitcase and grabbed Dumbledore arm. Suddenly she felt a tug in her stomach and everything started to spin. She squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath. Suddenly she felt solid ground under her feet again and she opened her eyes. In front of her there was a huge manor.

"Wow…"Sofie said.

"Now hurry along and ring the doorbell."Dumbledore said "They are expecting you."

Sofie started walking up to the house when she came to the door she turned around to say thank you to Dumbledore but he was gone.

"Oh well." she thought.

She pressed the doorbell and a bell rung through the house.

She heard someone walking up to the door and then it opened. In the doorway there was a woman with auburn hair and hazel eyes. She looked to be about 40 years old and was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a dark green blouse.

"Hello." She said shaking Sofies hand. "You must be Sofie. Let me introduce myself. I am Emily Potter and this is my husband Daniel Potter." She said pointing to the man walking up behind her.

The man had dark brown messy black hair and dark blue eyes. He looked like he was in his forties too. He was wearing a pair of black pants, a white shirt and a red tie.

"We also have a son about your age." Emily said. "Wait a sec and I'll go get him."

Emily walked over to the massive staircase behind her. "JAMES!" she called "GET DOWN HERE AND GREET OUR GUEST!"

"COMING MOM!" was the answer.

Down the stairs came a boy dressed in a pair of black jeans and a tight blue shirt. He looked just like his father only that he had his mother's eyes.

"Hello" he said holding out his hand to shake. Sofie shook his hand cautiously. "I'm James. James Potter."
