Hi, this is my first time, and probably my last time adding something to fan fiction. I just saw the last Harry Potter movie and came up with this idea. Hopefully, you in joy it; ha hopefully someone reads this. I hope people review, I would really appreciate it. However, if you are like me and you don't like to review then I can live with that. I just hope someone out there will find joy in my writing. Oh, if someone would like to be my beta I would really appreciate it because my grammar is not that good.
"Jenni Christy Cole, What do you think you are doing?" Jenni's mother screamed at her, "Open, you door now. Jenni!"
Jenni sighed as she heard her mom slam her fists on the door. She rushed to hide the suitcase that held enough cloths for three days, her laptop, along with her favorite books and movies and ipod. Once she was certain that her mom would not find the suitcase, Jenni opened the door.
Jenni's mom, Elizabeth, stood still with tears filling her eyes, "I'm sorry that I never told you. But Jenni that doesn't change anything.
Jenni looked at her mom, no the women who claimed to be her mom. Elizabeth was 5'8 with her ½ inch heels on. She wore a black dress that just came past her knees. Her midnight black hair draped down her back in curls.
Jenni felt like laughing, she should have known. She looked nothing like her mother, what with her 5'1 inch height, flat red hair, mid-night black eyes. There where many other differences, for she looked nothing like Elizabeth. She just always assumed that she looked like her dad; the one that she never known, the one that didn't really exist.
"You lied; you told me that my father ran away. That he was bad for us and all this time you're not even my real mom. You're a fake!" Jenni cried out.
"Jenni, I may not be your biological mom, but the moment that you where at my door you became my daughter."
"Your door?" Jenni already knew that she was adopted, that much she got out from the paperwork, but hearing what Elizabeth just said she wondered if there was more that Elizabeth never told her.
"Jenni, I was 25 years old I was not ready for a child. I wanted to wait, but things changed…"
Jenni cut her off, "Please tell me that you had a change of heart and decided to adopt me." Jenni's eyes began to tear up.
Elizabeth shook her head, "Jenni, I was living in a shack of a house by that time. I just got out of college and I had just gotten my first job. I was not ready for a child," By this time Elizabeth was leaning on the wall behind her for support, "I was eating leftovers when I heard someone knock on the door. When I opened the door I didn't see anyone. I was going to close it but then I heard a cry. I looked down and saw you lying down on the cement; you had something around your neck. At first, I decided that I was going to give you to a family that would be able to support you. However, the next day when I was going to talk to someone about you, you looked at me with these eyes. I don't know, I just couldn't give you up. So I decided to keep you."
"Even though I was never yours to keep, right?"
"Jenni, I am sorry that I never told you, I am sorry about a lot of things. But I will never regret keeping you," Elizabeth went to hold Jenni's cheek, only for Jenni to turn her head away from her hand, "I know you may not believe it, but I love you."
"I just…I need sometime to think about this, Okay?"
"Okay, sweetie, I understand," Elizabeth turned to go to the living room as Jenni watched her. Just as she was at the end of the hallway she quickly turned around, "Wait, I have something that I think you might want."
Jenni watched her mom, for even though she was not her real mom and she was angry at her, Jenni knew deep down that Elizabeth would always be her mom. When she came back she was holding a shoe box. Without saying anything she shoved the box into Jenni's hand.
Jenni looked at the box in confusion, "Thanks?" She whispered before shutting her bedroom door. Jenni sat on the end of her bed and opened the box. She pulled out a baby's onesie. Looking at it Jenni noticed that it was a light purple color, but on the front in white was written, Jenni Christy Lupin.
"Lupin?" Jenni whispered out loud. She could not believe it. Her mind, like every other Harry Potter fan, went straight to thinking about Remus Lupin. 'This is crazy Jenni, there's no such thing as a wizarding world, I bet there are a million people with the last name Lupin.' Jenni thought to herself. Yet in her gut she couldn't resist the thought that the fake world of Harry Potter existed.
"You're psyching yourself out, Jenni," She told herself while she reached for the last object inside the box. She started to pull out a silver chain; however before she could see what the chain held Jennie was completely surrounded by the sound of the song "Work" by Jars of Clay. Dropping the chain back into the box, Jenni rushed to reach her phone.
"Hello," She said breathlessly.
"Jennie? Hey, it's Kylie. You still coming over or what?"
"I completely forgot," Jenni shook her head realizing that she promised Kylie she would stay with her for the week.
"Forget? Since when have you forgot anything in you life. Are you okay?"
Running her head through her hair Jenni decided to tell her best friend the truth, "I found out I was adopted today."
"Oh really," Kylie replied in a knowing voice.
"You don't seem shocked, Kylie."
"It's just…I mean…Jennie I kinda figured. You look nothing like your mom and I mean you guy are nothing alike. I thought that you knew you just didn't want to tell anyone. That's beside the point, how did you learn?" Jenni could hear Kylie's sympathizing voice. The voice she used when she found out that Jenni's first boyfriend was cheating on her, the voice she used after Jenni didn't make it onto the pom team, and the voice she used when she told her that their ex-best friend had been spreading rumors about Jenni around school. Even though Jenni found comfort in this voice she couldn't help but slightly hate the fact that she needed to hear it again.
"I found paperwork for my adoption in her closet."
"Ouch, I'm sorry."
"That's not all," After a long pause Jenni continued to say, "Elizabeth, I mean my mom, told me that she found me on her porch. She has no idea how I got there."
"WHAT!" Kylie shrieked in Jenni's ear, "How could she have no idea! Didn't she ever wonder? So she has no clue who your real parents could be?"
"I don't know and no she doesn't. Listen I want to show you something so I should be there in a minute."
"Mm kay, see you in a sec," with that Kylie ended the call.
Jenni got her suit case from the closet, the one that she was using to run away with only 10 minutes ago. Going over to her bed she saw the onsie and deciding to bring it to show Kylie, she placed it in the front pocket in her suit case. Next, she put her jacket on, she was about to leave, forgetting about the last object in the shoe box. However, before leaving her room when she went to shut off her lights she caught a glimpse of the shoebox on her bed. Remember, the silver chain she quickly went back to her bed and pulled out the mystery object out off the shoe box. Jenni realized that it was just a simple necklace with a light blue tear drop gem.
Jenni couldn't help being a little disappointed. She hoped that the last object in the box would give her a clue as to where her real parents were at. Sighing, Jenni decided to place the necklace around her neck. Once she was done she graved her suit case, turned her bedroom light off, then went to shut her bed room door, only to realize that her door was no longer there.
"What the hell," Jenni said, looking at a stone wall that appeared where her bedroom door should have been. Looking around Jenni noticed that instead of her hall way at home, she stood alone in a huge hall way.
"Hey what are you doing here?" A voice said, "This is for hall way is for slytherns only. You don't look like a slythern," Looking around Jenni tried to find where the voice belonged. Obviously the voice grew impatient, "Oi, up here."
Looking up, Jenni gasped. On the wall was a painting that was moving. The painting was of a young boy. The boy was in what would appear to be robes, and was holding a….was that a broomstick?
The boy smirked when he saw Jenni's shocked expression, "What never saw a moving picture before?"
"Um, no," Jenni stuttered still not understand how this picture was moving.
The boys smirk faded, "What are you, a muggle? How'd you get into the grounds? Surely, you didn't sneak into Hogwarts, and then decide to come visit the slythern's house, the one house that despises muggles."
"Muggle? Hogwarts? SLYTHERNS!" Jenni's voice slowly got louder. She didn't know how, but she figured that she had to be Hogwarts, the one place in the world that just couldn't be real without meaning that Harry Potter was real, "Oh dear me. This can not be happening," Jenni looked up at the boy waiting for him to say something only to see that the frame was hanging open, with a young boy climbing out. He was looking at the ground and rushed down the hall, not seeing the young girl gaping at him.
Looking at the boy, Jenni noticed that this boy could only be one person, Severus Snap. What with his long greasy hair, cricked nose and slythern ropes.
"What are you staring at?" The picture asked.
Looking at the boy in the painting with wide eyes, Jenni whispered, "I'm not in Kansas anymore."
