AN: I don't own anything just Mercy. And hey sorry about the long wait for updating on things. I recently just got a laptop with Microsoft to write so I'm going to be updating every week hopefully.
Chapter 1: Witches and Wizards are Real
I heard a loud scream and bright green flash, then the sound of two babies crying and an older voice of a man wailing in pain.
"Mercy!" shouted a familiar voice. I jolted up sweating and could feel my heart pounding against my chest. It was just a dream. I thought to myself. Nothing more than a dream.
"Mercy! Get up already someone is here to see you," shouted Mrs. Neff. I sighed slightly and then hopped out of bed onto the cool wood floors. I immediately cringed but proceeded to dress into the regular blue dress we all wore when meeting potential parents. I neatly put my dark long locks into a ballet bun and calmly walked down the corridor towards the stairs. Come on Mercy. They could set you free of this god-forsaken place. I thought to myself. As I rounded the corner I caught sight of two people; one a man with half-moon glasses in light blue robes and a long white beard and the other a woman dressed in green and black robes with a long hat as those of witches. I stopped in the archway and waited like normal to be called in to present myself.
"Ah, here she is," Mrs. Neff exclaimed motioning me to come forward, "Mercy, this is Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall." She gently pushed me over to the table where they were sitting. It normally would've been a hard shove but since we had visitors it happened to be a gentle push.
"They're here to talk to you about something rather important. I'll leave you three alone then," Mrs. Neff said while closing the doors that led to the foyer. I turned back to the old couple and cleared my throat slightly not knowing what to say. They both gave me a gently smile and then Albus spoke.
"Good evening Miss Potter. As you already know I am Albus Dumbledore and this," pointing to the Minerva, "is Minerva McGonagall and we are professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." I just stared at him or a moment trying to think this possible.
"Excuse me sir, but did you say witchcraft and wizardry?" I asked. Wizards and witches didn't exist, well as far as I knew.
"Yes, he did Miss. Potter. We are here today because of this. You're a witch Mercy, and you belong at Hogwarts. There you will learn magic and potions along with others like you," explained Minerva. I just stared at the couple in shock and wondered who exactly were my parents now.
"Miss Potter," said Albus distracting myself from my shock, "We are here to ask you if you'd like to come with us to our home. Everyone would be very pleased to welcome you." I thought for a moment. To be free of this place to actually have a place called home, wait what am I thinking these people are just a couple of lunatics that need help.
"I'm sorry Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, you two sound like lovely people but magic doesn't exist," I replied, got up and turned to leave when I heard him again. "Ah, I thought you might say something along those lines Miss Potter. Well I'm sorry to inform you but there are such people as wizards and witches. Tell me now, have you ever done something that you can't explain?" This stopped me right in my tracks. As I remember back to numerous occasions where I've been called a freak. I turned back to look at them with a strange look. I slowly walked back to them and sat back down in the chair
"Please tell me more about Hogwarts," I asked.
"Very well my dear," smiled Albus
