Where the heck am I? All I remember is my name is Mary Kater. I am 11. I have a younger sibling named C...C...C. I don't know their name or gender. Great. OUCH! What the fudge was that. It was a...human? "Watch it, kid."
"Sorry, sir."
"Oi. Your that Kater kid who is on the run."
Now I remember. I am running from the cops cause apparently I killed my grandparents. I WAS BLOODY SLEEPING WHEN THEY GOT KILLED! Lord Britians. They think gossip is always right. It wasn't me. That pub looks nice. The Leaky Cauldron. I can stay here...I guess.
"Hello."
"Oi. I have never seen you before and I'd say from the looks of you, you be a muggle."
"A what?"
"Um...a non-magical person."
"Is this like a magical person pub?"
"Yes. You must be a muggle born."
"Oooookay."
"Come on kid. Let's get you a room."
"Okay."
He seems ok. Not the best but it will work I haven't slept in a normal bed for about 3 weeks. My birthday was yesterday. Lucky me I am on the run and it just happened to be my birthday. Hey, look a cute barn owl. It has a letter attached to its foot. That is so weird. Like whaaaaaat. The letter says:

"Miss Kater. That language is not allowed at Hogwarts."
"Sorry..."
"Professor McGonagall."
"Ok. Professor"
"Let us go to Diagon Alley"
"Okay, where is Diagun Alley."
"DiagON Alley not Diagun."
"Sorry professor."
"Follow me."
Damn, she is strict like really stricter and uptight. Wait why the fuck did she stop? Why is she hitting the wall with a stick? Wait the wall is moving, THE FUCK! HOLY FUCK.
10 MINUTE TIME LAPSE
"That is everything, Ms. Kater. Good day." *POP*
"I still need a wand," Me and another kid say at the same time. He spins around. "Hello, I am Harry, Harry Potter."
"HI, I am Mary, Mary Kater well my full name is Marenea Michelle Kater. But you can call me Double M or Mary."
"Nice to meet you Double M. My cousin Dudley had a friend with the same name." DUDLEY!
"Dudley Dursley?"
"Yeah, How'd you know?"
"He bullied me into being his friend."
"That sucks, let's go get out wands."
"Ok." He is super cute he has this dimple when he furrows his brow.
"Ah...Ms. Kater and Mr. Potter."
"AHHHHHH! Holy shit you can't just scare people like that Dude."
"Mary...Your face." Harry just bursts out laughing.
"Oh. Shut it, Harry."
10 Minute Time Lapse
"Harry, I love your wand." Harry got an 11 inch Holly wand with a Phoenix feather core. I got a 12 inch Pine wand with a unicorn hair core.
"Thanks, Mar."
"Mar?"
"Can I call you that?"
" Sure, Harry. Now come on we got to get to Kings Cross in 30 minutes."
"Okay." We bumped into about 50 million people. We made it with 10 minutes left and me and Harry accidentally found the magical entrance by running into a wall and coming out to see the Hogwarts Express.
"Let's get on Mar."
"Ok. Harry."
We were sitting in our compartment when this red-headed boy with freckles comes in.
"Can I sit here everywhere else is full." the red-headed boy askes. I am about to say nope sorry when Harry says.
"Yeah sure." HARRY POTTER! "I Ron, by the way, Ron Weasley." So the kid has a name. "I am Marenea. This is Harry."
"You can call her Mary though."
"Harry Potter!"
"Yes, Harry Potter." I replied rolling my eyes.
"Anything from the trolley Dears?" This lady looks really old. "No thanks I am all set." Ron says not looking too happy. "We'll take the lot." Harry replies pulling a bunch of what McGonagall said where galleons out of his pocket and handing them over. We totally pig out. A few minutes later Ron is about to show us a spell when this brown bushy haired girl comes. Looking rather annoyed.
"Have you seen a toad a boy named Neville has lost one. Oh, you doing magic go on then." she is really a chatbox.
"Sunshine, Daises, Butter Mellow, Turn this stupid fat rat yellow." Poor rat.
"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it isn't a very good one now, is it? Of course, i've only tried a few simple ones myself but they've all worked for me." she walks up to Harry. "For example Oculus Reparo. That's better, isn't it? Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter! I am Hermione Granger and they are."
"Um...Ron Weasley."
"Pleasure and you?" Poor Ron.
"Marenea, but please call me Mary." she just nods and walks out well I should just... "Mar, sit down."
"Sorry Harry."
"Mar?"
"Harry calls me that but if you do I will break your neck." I say it in my sweetest voice with my best smile.
