I was stood in Diagon alley. I was going by the name Lara Valencia. I had been informed by Dumbledore it would be my first year at Hogwarts, Dumbledore got me some money as I couldn't go to my own bank without giving myself away. I then headed to Olivanders to get my first wand. I tried a few out with no luck and the pile of wands was getting bigger

"Hmm tricky one aren't you Miss Valencia" Olivander muttered "Try this one Holly and phoenix tail feather 11 inches" A flick of the wand assured Olivander it was the wand for me and I set off to get my robes. I had them fitted I then headed to get all my other things. I already had an owl I named Lily. I walked around the shops spending most of my time in the apothecary and the book shop and quality quidditch supplies. I went somewhere I wouldn't be seen by anyone, changed into a black Labrador and headed to privet drive, hidden in the bushes, I was watching Harry getting tormented by Dudley yet again, I wanted to do something but I knew it would just cause more trouble for Harry and freak Patunia and Vernon out so I stayed watching over him until it got Dark. I then headed to Grimmund place. It used to be the base for the order of the Phoenix before Voldermort was defeated, Now it was abandoned other than Kreacher, oh and the painting of Walburga Black if you counted her which I didn't. I made myself some tea changed into some block joggers and a marauder shirt

(enter picture) and headed to bed in one of the rooms. I had been living here since I was 4 and pretty much been looking after myself well except for a few years. Severus Snape often Comes down him and the other teachers except the defence against the Dark arts teachers who never last long. I didn't mind living alone, maybe it was because I was used to it by now. I woke early the next morning and changed ( cgi/set?id=46629709) I grabbed some breakfast, argued with Walburga, I headed into London and walked around. I was looking in all the shops, When I finished looking around I grabbed a bite to eat at a café then headed to Privet drive, like last time I changed into a dog and hid in the bushes and watched Dudley torment Harry. When I went back to Grimmund Place which I will call home I was greeted with verbal abuse from Walburga's painting again, I just pulled the cord closing the curtains and made myself something to eat. The next few days went by pretty much the same.

I woke one morning and got all my things ready, I made sure Lily my owl was in her cage, got some breakfast I then went to get changed. (

cgi/set?id=46630576) and headed off to Kings Cross station. I headed to the barrier, where a red haired woman was arguing with what looked like twin boys. I walked straight through the barrier and found a compartment. I sat by the window. I had closed my eyes when the compartment door opened.

"Mind if we sit here?" a red haired boy asked

"Not at all" I smiled and the boy and the girl with him sat down

"Hi I'm Penelope Clearwater" The girl smiled

"I'm Percy, Percy Weasley" the boy said holding out his hand

"Lara, Lara Valencia" I said shaking his hand.

"So are you a first year Lara?" Penelope asked

"Yes"

"So what house do you want to be in?" Percy asked

"Gryffindor, just like my parents" I smiled

"Oh wait didn't you pass us earlier?" Percy asked

"Oh yes you were with the women yelling at the young twin boys" I smiled

"Yes my brothers Fred and George, I didn't see your parents with you" Percy said

"You wouldn't their dead" I replied

"Oh I'm sorry when did they die? If you don't mind talking about it" Penelope asked

"I was 4 when they died" I said simply

We sat talking the rest of the journey and we got along really well. Eventually Percy and Penelope, who were already in their school robes, said I should get changed so I headed to the bathroom, changed into my robes and headed back to Percy and Penelope. The train stopped and we got off. I headed over to Hagrid and went with the first years in the boats. When we got there McGonagall told us what would happen then led us in. I stood there while everyone was sorted, why did I have to go by a last name that started with one of the last letters.

"Valencia, Lara" McGonagall yelled I walked up and sat on the stool the hat placed on my head

"Ahh you are not who you claim to be are you?"

"No so shh" I hissed

"Indeed you are very wise, very protective and brave, you like to do the right thing like your mum but you also have a love of trouble like your dad, you are friendly and you're also ambitious, hmmm difficult" The hat mumbled

"GRYFFINDOR" The hat yelled I smiled and sat by Percy.

"Welcome to Gryffindor" Percy smiled and I laughed

"Thanks Percy" I chuckled. We listened to Dumbledore and then tucked into the feast. When it was over, we headed to the common room I made my way to the dormitories when McGonagall came into my dorm.

"I remember when Lily was her she had the same bed you did" McGonagall said and I smiled

"Really?" I asked and she nodded "I still feel weird going by Valencia"

"I know but it's only until it's safe for you both" McGonagall told me

"I know your right Professor don't worry I'll be fine" I said and sat on the bed, She nodded and left. I laid down on the bed, this was the same bed as my mum, It was a strange feeling I felt so close to her but so far away, in a different time mum would of be occupying the same space I was now. I know I was only four when she and dad died but I remember them still, I remember how they laughed with my uncles I remember how happy they us to be. I wished I could go back to those times. I fell asleep dreaming of those days.

AN... I would like to say I don't own any characters you recognise from the Harry Potter Series and I would like to thank J.K. Rowling for her stories and her characters as she's awesome
