Hellooooooooo. Some how you have stumbled across my fanfiction! Please Read and Review, whatever you say, I don't really care. Also, all that 'I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters' stuff. I DO own Jade and Mina though. So yeah, onward!
Mina was about to turn 16 when her parents died. They were flying back from Finland when the plane crashed. Her parents named Mina's older sister Jade as her guardian. There was only one problem, Jade was five years older and lived in England. Jade had been non existent to Mina when she went away foreleven years. No one knew where she went. Only your parents knew. "Don't ask questions!" they would say. That was the only thing that Mina's parents were testy about, her sister.
Three days before her sixteenth birthday, Mina was sitting in an airport waiting for her sister to come and get her. Mina doubted that her sister would recognize her. The last time that she saw her sister was a very long time ago. It was when Mina still had her blond hair. Now her hair was dark brown. It went better with her amber eyes than blond hair ever did. Mina also had a small stud on her nose, which also looked good on her. She was wearing ratty old jeans with a red and black t-shirt.
People passed her by, while she was there. Not too many people really looked at her. They wrote her off as some punk, as most people did. Mina had overhears a mother sooth her daughter who cried at the sight of her by, "It's alright, she not here anymore." It made Mina sick that people do that. They write people off without getting to know them. However, there was nothing that she could do about the entire population.
A young, red haired man approached Mina. He was tall and lanky with gray eyes. This man looked to be about twenty. "Are you Mina?" he asked you in his British accent. Mina nodded. "Well, come on then, I'm here to take you to your sister."
Reluctantly, Mina grabs her stuff and follows this man. "I'm Charlie, by the way," he says to Mina. "I'm your sister's fiancé." Charlie blushes at this. Mina says nothing. Charlie seems nice, but as you know, appearances can be deceiving. He leads Mina to he car. It's an old one, beat up and looks like it's about to fall apart. "Whatever you do," he says to Mina, "Don't tell my dad. He's absolutely crazy about mug- I mean cars."
Mina raised an eyebrow in suspicion. What exactly was Charlie about to say? Mug something. These thoughts kept running though her mind all through the car ride to her sister's house. Mina sat in the back of the car along with her suitcase. Charlie's car smelled really bad. It smelled like birds of some kind. Mina noticed a tawny, brown feather on the ground. She picked it up and decided to play with it for the rest of the way. At least, when her mind wasn't on whatever a mug was.
Charlie didn't seem too familiar driving a car. He was okay, but not the best driver on the road. He often ran through red lights and stop signs. Mina had never horns blaring at a car that she was in at once. It was almost scary. Charlie turned off the main road into a subdivision, very crudely.
It was one of those subdivisions where every street name had a common theme. All the houses looked liked they were cut out and photocopied numerous times and placed on these neat patches of grass. Mina saw some people look at her oddly as she looked at them. She didn't blame them for it though. Charlie turned his car onto Privet Drive. There was a family unloading the trunk of a car. Three of members of the family were on their way into their home. A boy, who looked to be Mina's age, was unloading the trunk. As the car passed by slowly, Mina saw that he had black hair and beautiful almond shaped, green eyes. He was scrawny and wore clothes that had been let out to make him look even thinner.
Charlie waved to the boy. He seemed slightly confused when Charlie waved to him. "Who's that?" Mina asked. "That's Harry Potter. He lives a couple of houses down from us," Charlie replies as he pulls the car into the driveway. He manages to ram the car straight into the closed garage door.
Mina, very shook up, grabs her stuff out of the car and runs to the house. She turns around to see Harry Potter staring at her. He waves at Mina. Mina gives a weak smile back and goes into the house shortly followed by Charlie.
