CHAPTER 1

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was looking good. I am quite normal looking. I am 5 feet and 6 inches with a round face and waist long brown hair. I again checked myself in the mirror .ok. I was looking god for a party. I live in Ottawa, Canada. I am 15 and study in the Ottawa high school. I am to reach my friends party in 15 minutes and I knew that I am going to be late.

I took my car keys and went out. It happened again. I again had that same feeling of being followed. I don't know why but from the past week I had the strange feeling that somebody was following me. I knew that it was impossible because that somebody had to be invisible to follow me everywhere but still I had that nasty feeling that somebody was following me.

Now again I could feel the stare of somebody on my back. I sped up and took my thoughts to another topic as I raced to Andy's house.

"Hi everyone!!" I said as I entered Andy's house.

Andy is my best friend. He is really tall with curly black hair and very pale skin that stand out in contrast to his hair. He just my best friend, everything about him is everything that I like and we really have same choice and the same attitude (sometimes it is really irritating but mostly I like him). Today is his 16 birthday and it is a grand celebration.

"Hi! Anna "he said as he came to greet me inside. All my friends were there and I was the last one to come. Well, I generally don't go to parties late but this time it took me a long time to get him a present.

"Happy birthday!!" I said as I handed him his present. Everyone was hungry so we decided to have dinner. The cake was cut and we had our dinner.

After dinner it was time of fun so we decided to play hide and seek. I know it sounds childish when you are 16 but it was Andy's favorite game.

So the game started. As I was searching for the best place to hide, Andy came and said "hey Anna I have a perfect place for you to hide so no one will be able to find you till you yourself decide to show up" and then he led me to a door and pushed me inside and then went away closing the door behind me. I was left feeling perplexed at what had happened when a voice from behind me spoke

"Hey Anna! Thank god you came. I was dying to meet you"

A chill ran through my spine as I heard a man speak. The voice was oddly familiar, yet I couldn't figure out whose voice it was.

"Who are you?" I asked

"You know me very well but I know you very little and wanna know you more. I know it is hard for you to believe but if you switch on the light you will at once recognize me" the man replied.

I was as much as startled by the reply as much I was scared. I reached for the light button and switched on the light and as I saw the man standing in front of me my mouth fell open.

Standing in front of me was a man I never expected to meet my whole life. It was Harry potter.

"Hi "he said again

It took me full 2 minutes to realize that it was not a dream and he really was standing before me. My first instinct was to yell and run to him and hug him to death but then I thought better and instead asked him "how do you know me?"

He grinned and said" well I know you since last 6 months and wanted to talk to you but I just couldn't sum the courage"

"You who defeated lord Voldemort couldn't sum up courage to talk to a girl?" I asked bewildered

"Hang on girl!! You are taking it too far. I am Daniel Redcliff, remember? There is no Harry potter and no Voldemort and no magical world. Ok?' he said quite rudely but I could sense guilt in it.

"Oh yeah, I kind of forgot that. But still why would you need strength to talk to me?" I asked very agog to know the truth. Slowly he came near me, took both my hands in is and said in his magical voice "to tell you that I really like you and can't imagine my life without you"

"WHAT?" I asked shocked by the news. One part of me wanted to believe him but I knew that this could not be true. It just couldn't be. Maybe it was one of Andy's jokes. But then he wouldn't waste so much of money on getting a duplicate.

"I know it is hard for you to believe this but it is the truth. I have known you for years and your grandfather was in touch with me so he always told me about you and showed me your pics and then I got all interested in you and then I kept a watch on you and then I kind of started liking you. I always wanted to meet you but your grandfather had so far prevented this then today I got my chance and I took it"

"You were following me?" I asked. He nodded. So someone was following me. I was right.

"But his cant is true. I mean my grandfather never told me and in fact he knew how much I fancied you. He is way too old to have direct contacts with you and as far as I know he dint have foreign contacts." I enquired further. I wanted to everything from the beginning and I wasn't going to miss out the loop holes.

"I know it was on my request that he never told you about me. Then 6 months ago he gave me the permission to talk to you and finally introduce myself to you. After figuring out my plan carefully today I finally met you" he said felling very proud as if he had achieved something impassible.

It was all sounding really fake to me but I just couldn't figure out the main loop hole. Then it clicked me.

"Hang on!" I said" you told me my grandfather gave you the permission 6 months ago but his cant be possible because he died an n year ago which proves that you are lying." I was really hurt. My idol was lying straight to me. Anger overpowered me and I started shouting" I don't believe this!! Actually I can because you are not Harry potter. You are Daniel Redcliff. I always thought that you would be the same like him but it seems like you are totally different from him. I HATE YOU!!' I turned to go out when he caught me ad held me back.

"Listen, Mr. Redcliff. I am not at all interested in talking to you so let me go" I shouted at him

"Please Anna!! Listen to me first ok! I confess I was lying but not about the part including your grandfather. I lied about me being Daniel" he confessed. He looked really ashamed." I knew that you won't believe me even if I told you the truth about his so I wanted to keep this a secret from you but now it seems that you need to know the truth. Very well, here it goes and please don't interrupt while I am speaking ok?"

"Yeah fine but you have to tell me everything ok?" I said because I really was dying to know that how can he talk to my grandfather when he was already dead and what did he mean by saying that he was not Daniel? If he was not Daniel then who was he, an imposter??
