Hey all!
So, I have been working on this for a while and finally got it up! So remember to comment so I can keep on going! Everything belongs to JK Rowling and Warner Brothers, except any Original Characters, they belong to me :D

Beep Beep Beep
The red head rolled over in her bed and just pulled the pillow over her head, trying to block out the noise of the buzzing.
Beep Beep Beep
She sat up and turned off the alarm. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. To the right was 3 beds to the other the same. There was one on either side of her, but they were all empty. The girl looked around as she yawned and got up, a tank top with shorts was on her body, she hissed as her feet landed on the cool wood of the floor. She got up and looked around while walking over to the door.
"DANI!" A girl cried and crashed into her with a hug as she clung to her.
Danielle laughed and hugged her back, "Sami!" she said.
"Happy Birthday!" Samantha said.
"Thanks." Danielle replied with a grin.
Samantha pulled her up and her other friend Stephen walked up and hugged her.
"Happy Birthday Danielle." Stephen said.
"Thanks." Danielle said, letting go, "I better go get dressed." She said with a nervous smile and walked back into the room. Danielle scratched her head while walking over to her bed and digging in her trunk and found a fitting tank top and shorts with a jacket. She slipped them on along with tennis shoes and walked out of the room. Danielle looked around and walked down the hall. She hissed as a pain in her neck started and she pressed her fingers against it. She moved her reddish-brown hair over it and hazel eyes scanned the place. No one was in sight. Danielle moved her head from side to side before walking back over to her friends.
"Sanders!"
"Uh-oh, I would hurry." Sami replied as the orphanage supervisor called.
Danielle sighed and got up and hurried over, "Miss. Gardner?" she asked.
"Come in," Miss. Gardner said.
Miss. Caroline Gardner was a plump woman with narrow eyes and hardly any neck. Everyone was afraid to look in her eyes because everyone thought she was a descendant of Medusa. They often made small jokes of what was underneath the cap she always wore.
" This came for you." Gardner said, throwing the thick letter on the table, her eyes narrowed even more if it was possible, "Who would be writing to you? You have no family members." She spat, spit flying from her mouth.
"I-I have no idea Miss. Gardner." Danielle spoke softly. She looked at the letter and who it was addressed to.
'Miss. Danielle Potter
The London Orphanage
Upstairs, Second Room on the right, Bed against the Far Wall
London, England'
"Potter?" Danielle whispered, her nose scrunched, she never even heard of that last name.
Gardner walked over and took Danielle's chin and cheeks in her hand and squeezed, "Take this letter and go, and show no one."
Danielle nodded and whimpered as Gardner whipped her head away and she felt her neck pop. Danielle grabbed the letter and ran out of the room and up the stairs back to the room. She sat down on her bed and took out everything that was inside. There was a letter and a supplies list plus an additional letter. She decided to read them in order that she pulled them out.

Danielle looked at the letter. "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" She asked while rereading the letter again, "Owl?" she asked. She didn't have no owl, she didn't even know where this school was! Carter placed that letter to the side and then started reading the second piece of parchment.

Danielle raised an eyebrow as she looked over at the list more questions running through her mind. Finally she made it to the last letter and red through that one.

Miss. Potter,
I understand you may have some questions, and that will all be answered. Hagrid, our games keeper, will come and retrieve you to bring you to Diagon Alley and then Platform 9 and 3/4, you should find your ticket enclosed.

Danielle saw the ticket and held it up, she decided not to question it and instead put all of it inside the envelope and placed it beside her bed. Danielle looked over at the small candle on the side of her table and placed her hand in front of the wick and made a semi circle over the candle when her hand got to the other side there was a flame on the wick. Danielle stared at it with concentration. She learned she could do something like this a few months ago but she mainly kept it to herself. The girl closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, this was too much to take in all at once, she just thought she was a freak of nature. But she knew that this letter would change her life, whether or was for the best or worst, she was ready to take it on.
