Chapter One - The New Girl

She was sitting in the alley right by a place called the Leaky Cauldron. This is where she lived for the last two years out on the streets. Soon she would be 10 in 4 months and 2 days. Her parents died when she was only 1 years old, so she was sent to an orphanage until this couple came to foster her on her 2nd birthday. They treated her in such cruel ways, but she had to stay with them as they were her only family. On her 7th birthday she just had enough of them and left for good. Since then she had been living in this alley next to the Leaky Cauldron. Whoever walked past her used to say...

"Hey look everyone it's Niks get it because she nicks things and her name is Niks."

But not everyone was like that she did have a friend, though she never said they were, he was Jack Coliandris. Jack lived with his mum, big brother Tom and his dad used to come and visit him sometimes. She had these other friends who were brothers and sister called the Weasley's. There was Ginny her best friend, her older brother Ron, the older twins Fred and George and Percy, but she didn't really like him. She met them when there family came to visit Jack's family. They come at least 3 times every week.

She still remembers that day 2 years ago in front of Jack's house when they all arrived and became friends. She never went inside Jack's house because his dad hated her because she lived on the streets and was different.

She knew that she was different even special. She wasn't like anyone else she knew because she could do things no one else could and everyone hated her, well except for the Weasley's apart from Percy and Jack and his older brother Tom, that's because she tried to control herself around them.

"Hey Nikki."

"Hey Jack."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I just got this weird letter from someone named Dumbledore and I was thinking how it would be like to have a real family where people actually like you for whom you are."

"Trust me that day will come sooner than we think and did you say Dumbledore?"

"I hope so. Thanks for cheering me up like you always do and yeh I said Dumbledore."

"How did you just do that?" She rose 5 feet above the ground.

"I don't know it just happens I've been trying to control it for 2 years now, but it's not working."

"Come with me to my house now."

"NO"

"Yes now come on."

Both of them ran to Jack's house.

"Jack is that you dear." said Mrs Coliandris.

"Mum, Tom come in the living room right now."

"We're coming." said Tom.

"Did Tom ever do really strange things before he was 11 years old and

went to Hogwarts."

"What's Hogwarts? Can someone please tell me what going on?"

"Yes Tom did, but why do you want to know in front of Nikki?" questioned Mrs Coliandris.

"Because Nikki can do things like that as well and she got a letter from Dumbledore."

"Nikki let me see your letter a second?" asked Tom. "Mum Jack's right this is from Dumbledore it's his handwriting."

"Mum that means Nikki is like one of us." said Jack in excitement.

"Can someone please tell me what you're talking about?" exclaimed Nikki.

"Nikki you're a witch just like I'm a witch, Jack and Tom are wizards. This letter is from Dumbledore who's the head teacher of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Tom has been going there since September last year before his 11th birthday. How old are you going to be this year?" explained Jack's mum.

"I'm going to be 10 on December 2nd."

"That's odd. Anyway from now on you're going to live with us and be my daughter because I'm going to adopt you."

"What!"

"Awesome." yelled the boys.

"You can sleep in the guest room and we'll go shopping for your and Tom's things on Sunday."

"Where would you be able to get all this stuff?"

"At a place called Diagon Alley."
