Hello all Fanfiction people! My name is DreamerofDreams56 and this is my third Fanfic! Yeeeeeeek!

I am way excited for this one, because Olivia Bell is Cedric Diggory's only cousin and is Harry Potter and the gang's newest member. Olivia will be a part of the DA, in later parts possibly even a sequel. But not only that, but she apparently is a magnet for boys! Possibly even Draco... Mwahahahahaha! But what happens whenever Ced goes all over protective big brother on her? Hmmmmm... Much to discuss, but for now, let's take a look at the world of magic through Olivia's eyes...

XO, Dreamer

I heard a screech outside my window and looked up from my book just in time to see a barn owl swoop into our window.

"Mum!" I yelled into the kitchen where she was fixing lunch. Julia, my little sister, banged her tiny fists against the table, turning it different colors. I laughed quietly at her.

"Yes, Livi?" she called back peering around the doorway.

"Number one, Jules is changing the color of the table," I said to her pointing at Julia who was smiling wickedly.

"Julia Nancy!" my mother shrieked as Julia turned the table from purple to green and back again. My mother ran into the kitchen and picked her up.

"Number two, an owl just came into the living room. Do you think Dad could've gotten there already?" I asked and walked to the brown owl, who was flapping its wings impatiently.

The owl stuck out its leg and I saw a letter attached to it. I read the green ink address.

Miss O. Bell

The Second Biggest Bedroom

32 Violet Way

Cotswolds

My breath caught as I looked at the seal with a badger, a snake, a lion, and a raven all surrounding a large 'H'.

I quickly tore open the envelope and read.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL

of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,

Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss Bell,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31.

Yours Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

I sucked in a huge breath. I was going to Hogwarts. I, Olivia Rose Bell, was going to Hogwarts.

"MUM!" I yelled running for the kitchen, letter in hand.

"What is it, Liv?" My mother sighed turning towards me, with Julia on her hip.

"I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!" I yelled and jumped up and down.

"YES! I KNEW IT!" My mum screamed, jumping up and down. Julia shrieked with delight, clapping her little hands. My mum set Julia down and swung me around, something she hasn't done since I was six. My strawberry blonde hair whipped around my face.

"I'm going to Hogwarts! I'm going to Hogwarts!" I sang, dancing around the kitchen, a wide smile on my face.

My mum flicked her wand around and small, rainbow fireworks exploded making Julia laugh. I continued dancing around and picked up Julia in the process.

"You hear that, Jules?" I said to her, kissing her chubby cheek, "Sissy's going to Hogwarts!"

She laughed again and grabbed at the air, wanting the fireworks.

I smiled. "I'll do that for you soon, Jules."

I really would, eventually. Because I was going to Hogwarts

…..

After our little freak out, my mum gave up on lunch, so we walked down to the pub on the corner. The sun was shining and seemed to reflect my mood. I danced along the road, humming a wordless song, just enjoying how great things had just become.

My mum held the door open for me and the pub was almost empty.

"Emily? Emily Bell?" The owner, John, said as we walked in the door.

"Hello, John," she said and gave him a one-armed hug since Julia was in her other arms.

"Little Livi!" he boomed and hugged me.

"Hey John," I said smiling. John was a wizard and was a very good friend of my parents.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked, his green eyes twinkling.

"Livi just got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts," my mum said, positively bursting with pride. Julia cooed at John.

"Congratulations, kiddo!" he said and hugged me again, "But I always knew you would be accepted." He added with a wink.

I blushed and smiled at him.

"What can I get you?" he asked, leading us to our usual booth in the back.

"Fish and chips for me," my mum said and then looked at me, "What would you like, sweetheart?"

"Same and a cup of tea would be wonderful," I said, smiling at John as he jotted down the order.

"Be right back," he said and walked to the kitchen.

"I can't believe I'm going to Hogwarts in less than a few weeks," I murmured to myself, still in a daze.

"Oh, honey," my mum said, her eyes brimming with tears, "I'm so proud of you,"

"Don't cry, Mum!" I said to her and kissed her cheek, "I'll only be an owl away."

"Speaking of which," she said, composing herself, "Daddy must hear about this!"

Shoot. I completely forgot to send him an owl.

"D'you think he's in Belgium yet?" I asked. Dad was in Belgium due to a call about some Death Eaters acting up. Dad was an auror for the Ministry of Magic and was frequently traveling. It saddened me sometimes but he was fighting You-Know-Who and it was great. I wanted to be just like him one day.

"Probably," my mum said and brushed my hair back and looked into my blue-green eyes. The exact color of hers.

"I'll send him an owl as soon as I get home," I promised right as John came back with our food. I smiled. John's fish and chips were the best.

"Thank you!" I called as he went back to the kitchen.

The food was delicious, of course, and I loved every minute of it. By the time I was done, the sun was sinking and my stomach was full.

I stretched and headed for the door as my mum paid. The London air swirled around me and I shivered.

My feet echoed on the cobblestone as my lilac colored house came into view. I walked up to the door and pushed it open. Walter, the family owl, looked up sleepily from his perch.

"C'mon, Walter," I told him, "I have a job for you to do,"

I wrote out my letter to Dad telling him about my acceptance and how I missed him already. My fingers sealed the letter and I tied it to Walter's leg. He gave me a friendly hoot and flew out the window, into the night.

I collapsed onto the couch and began mindlessly sketching. An owl flew into the window and I stopped. The reddish brown owl hooted and landed on my couch. I knew that owl.

I eagerly ran to the owl and grabbed the letter.

"Hello Margaret," I said and stroked her feathers lightly. She hooted her greeting and helped herself to Walter's water.

I looked at the address.

Olivia Bell

32 Violet Way

Cotswolds

Cedric had written. I smiled widely and opened the letter.

Dear Liv,

How's your summer holiday so far? Mine's been okay. Kind of slow at the moment. I just can't wait to go to Hogwarts with my favorite cousin this year. Yeah, that's you, Liv.

Mum and Dad have been good. Thing's at the ministry have been slow at the moment, and I need an escape from the house. How about we meet in Diagon Alley at 1:00 next Thursday? Mum is taking me to get my things and I want to see you before the train leaves in September.

I can't believe I'll be a fourth year. It seems like only yesterday I was a first year and writing to you every day about Hogwarts. Remember how excited you were for me? And then you cried when I got on the train. That was a sad day for me, Liv. I didn't want you to cry or for me to leave you behind.

I hope you'll be in Hufflepuff. But since your parents were both in Gryffindor, so you'll most likely be in that house. Well, a boy can dream.

I really miss you and can't wait till term starts so I can see my favorite cousin every day.

Give Aunt Em and Uncle Sam my love.

Love always,

Ced

I wiped away a tear and smiled. Cedric Diggory was my best friend and my favorite cousin. I couldn't wait until I saw him.

I started writing my reply to him.

Dear Ced,

I would love to meet you next week. Mum was going to take me soon as well.

How in the world did you know that I was accepted? I literally got my letter two hours ago. Mum was so excited that she set off fireworks with her wand. Jules is growing so quickly and I'm upset that I'll leave her in September. But, I am so excited to go to school with you.

Yes, I do remember that day when you left. I cried so hard that Mum was afraid I'd dehydrate. But, your owl came that night and all tears were forgotten. You have no idea how happy I was to read about the adventures of Cedric and his new friends. Do you know I still have every letter you ever sent me? That box is going to need a replacement soon.

Unfortunately, Ced, I will most likely be in Gryffindor. But that doesn't mean I still won't see you! I will make sure of that.

I love and miss you too and can't wait till next week. It feels like I haven't seen you in ages!

Love,

Liv

P.S. Dad is in Belgium on a Ministry call and won't be back until late September. I will send him your love as soon as I can.

I sealed the letter and tied it to Margaret's leg. She hooted happily and took off into the night.

"Livi?" my mum called from Julia's room upstairs.

"Yes?" I called back, tearing my eyes away from the retreating owl.

"Can you sing Jules to sleep?" she said as I walked up the stairs and into Julia's baby pink room.

The white wood crib was pushed into the corner with a revolving mobile overtop of it, magically revolving on its own. A matching white dresser was opposite to it and had framed pictures of me and Julia. One, which was my favorite, was me laughing at Julia as she turned my hair different colors. In that picture, my hair was bright pink and Julia was yanking on a strand of it. I smiled.

"Liv, can you help?" my mum sighed and she shifted Julia to the opposite hip.

I smiled. "Sure,"

She handed me Julia and she cooed happily up at me. She shifted her tiny body around in my arms and her eyelid started to droop. I sang to her 'Somewhere Only We Know' by Keane. I had vague memories of Cedric singing that same exact song to me on summer holidays. He was the brother I never had.

I grew up with Cedric. I didn't have any siblings until six months ago when Julia was born, and Cedric was a brother to me. He was kind, supporting, not to mention hilarious. I loved him with all my heart.

Julia was slightly snoring by now and I set her down in her little crib. She moved on her side and smiled slightly. I smiled down at her. She was so innocent and sweet.

I walked across the hall to my bedroom. The walls were light lilac and had white crown molding. I sat down on my twin sized bed that was covered with a purple quilt. My dark espresso colored dresser sat in the corner. I stood up and walked to it, looking at the only framed picture.

It was of me and Cedric at a lake. Since it was a wizard photo, we were both moving. I was laughing as he ruffled my hair, and he was smiling at me, his blue-green eyes that were identical to mine dancing with delight. That gene that ran through my aunt and my mum was so strong. I loved that photo.

I crossed the room back to my bed and laid down on the quilt and looked at our family photo. My dad was smiling wide as my mum kissed his cheek. Julia waved her tiny fists at the camera and I was holding her and laughing. I placed a kiss on the photo before dressing in my nightgown and curling up under the covers.

"Livi?" my mum said from the hallway, a cup of tea in her hands.

"Yes, Mum?" I called back and sat up in my bed.

"Goodnight, my darling," she said and walked to her room.

"Goodnight, Mum," I murmured as my head hit the pillow. It was a great day.

What did you guys think?

More to come: Diagon Alley with Cedric, maybe even meeting Harry himself there, the train ride where Draco sees Livi for the first time, the sorting where Livi is on the stool the longest, Livi becoming fast friends with Hermoine Granger, and many adventures!

Please review it means the world to me! Plus I need to know what you guys think of this new Fanfic...

Luv you guys!
