Alya Black
Chapter 1
Harry woke in the morning to his Aunt Petunia banging on his bedroom door.
"Get up! Now!"
Harry heard her storm off and groaned as he slowly got out of bed.
Harry didn't want to get out of bed but he knew that he had to get ready to go to the train station to catch the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts.
He couldn't wait to get far away from the Dursleys.
Harry was in his fifth year at Hogwarts.
From his room he heard the doorbell ringing downstairs.
"Harry get down here and answer the door!" Bellowed his Uncle Vernon.
'Who would be visiting this house so early in the morning?' Harry thought.
Harry slowly walked down the stairs and walked to the door.
When he opened the door he found a young girl waiting outside.
The first thing that he noticed was that she was wearing black robes that a Hogwarts student was meant to wear.
Harry looked the girl over.
The girl had pale white skin, emerald-green eyes and shoulder length raven black hair that ran over her left eye.
She looked at him nervously. "H…. hello."
"Hi."
"Are you Harry Potter?"
He nodded.
The girl sighed with relief. "I finally found you. I'm Alya Black. I'm your cousin Harry."
Harry's eyes widened. "You're my cousin."
Alya nodded.
"Harry who is it?!" Vernon asked from the kitchen.
"No one." He called behind him.
He turned back to Alya and grabbed her hand. "Come to my room."
Alya nodded and dragged her suitcase in with her.
Alya followed Harry into his room and sat on his bed as Harry closed the door.
"I'm glad that I finally found you Harry."
"Can I ask how you knew where I lived?" Harry asked.
"Uncle Sirius told me where you lived so I came straight here. I live with him since I have no other family members."
"How is Sirius?"
"He's fine." Alya replied. "He said as soon as I arrived at your house he'll send me my owl. He wants me to stay by your side before we arrive at Hogwarts."
"Is this your first year?"
Alya nodded as she walked to Hedwig's cage and patted her feathers.
"I'm very excited about going to Hogwarts." She turned to the window when something began tapping against it. "Arlandria is finally here."
"Arlandria?"
Alya nodded and went to the window and opened it and in hopped a caramel coloured barn owl with four dark brown spots on its back.
"This is my pet owl Arlandria. I sometimes like to call her Arla for short. She'll be coming to Hogwarts with me."
"Does that mean that you have everything then?" Harry asked.
Alya nodded. "Everything except my wand and broom."
"I'll take you to get them before we catch the train."
"Thank you."
"No problem. We need to get you out of here before the Dursleys see you. They'll have a heart attack for sure if they see you in my room."
Alya smiled. "That won't be a problem." She turned and opened the window wide.
Harry grabbed her before she could climb out. "What are you doing?"
"You said that I can't be seen by the Dursleys right? So this is the only way to not get seen by the Dursleys." She winked. "Don't worry I do this all the time. I'll meet you downstairs."
She threw her suitcase out the window where you heard it make a loud thump noise when it hit the ground.
She slipped out the window and jumped down.
Arlandria followed her out the window.
Harry grabbed his suitcase and Hedwig's birdcage and walked out the door.
"Where are you going boy?" Uncle Vernon said as he reached the door.
Harry turned to face him. "To Hogwarts."
"Oh really? How are you getting there without someone taking you?"
"I'll catch the bus to the train station since I'm guessing that you're not going to take me."
Vernon nodded. "You guessed right boy. I'm not taking someone of your sort to the station." He turned away from him. "See you later boy."
Harry opened the door and walked out.
