Melanie always knew she was different. There was no denying it. Strange occurrences always seemed to happen around her. They got worse as she got older. Every time she would have one of her "accidents" her father would pack everything up and they would move again. Melanie truly loved her father but knew he was hiding something. Her mother died when she was 1 in a car accident back in England where she was born. Now they travel across America city to city.
One day while walking home from school, Melanie felt a large presence walking be hind her. She whipped around and say the figure of a large man stumbling into an alley. Curiously, Melanie approached the man taking her emergency pepper spray from her bag.
"Who are you?" She yelled, her voice booming off the alley walls.
"Rubius Hagrid," he mumbled, " and you are Melanie Strout."
"How do you know my name,"Melanie asked her voice shaking.
"I was sent her to get you," he replied.
"Who sent you?"
"Professor Dumbledore of course"
"Bumdelore? What kind of name is that?" she snickered.
"You've never heard of Professor Dumbledore. Greatest headmaster Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry has ever had!" he said pridefully.
"Did you say 'witchcraft and wizardry'?"
"Of course I did, why wouldn't I. Best school there is. Your mother went through there. One mighty fine witch she was. Second best in her class only to... Well you know," he glanced up at her confused and alarmed face and realized, "Oh, you don't know."
"Know what?" Melanie now said cautiously.
"You're a witch Melanie." He stated simply.
"No, I can't be," she muttered in shock.
"Your mother was a very powerful witch, her sister too. It was such a shame that your father has kept this from you. I must speak with him at once."
"Yeah I can see that conversation going great, ' hey dad here's this crazy man that says he knew mom. Also he says that I'm a witch, so I thought I would bring him home to you' he would take that very well I think," her sarcasm was lost on the man, if you could call him that.
"Hurry up then, we haven't got time to waste we must get you to Hogwarts as soon as possible. Danger is on its way." he said hobbling down the street towards my house.
