The Other Harry Potter
(A Harry Potter Fanfiction)
Chapter 1: The Stubborn Owl
...Black water... I'm drowning in liquid darkness. I don't know why, I don't even know if I'm actually drowning. I can breathe, but I'm floating in black liquid. I can't see what's in here, but I can see a light up above. Every time I try swimming up to that light, I only get pulled back down into the darkness.
More of all, I still can't tell what these whispers are saying. They're always talking, always trying to say something to me but it's not english. I don't know what language it's saying but I sure know it's not spanish. Hell it doesn't even sound Greek, if only I could understand, maybe I'll won't have this dream every night.
Finally I heard two words of english. It was a familiar voice of a girl. She said, "Wake up!" Next thing that happened. I was hit so hard in the head I woke up from my dream.
"OW! DAMMIT!" I shouted as I place my hands over the painful spot on my head. I look at my cousin as I said, "Must you always do that when I'm trying to sleep, Eon?!"
"You sleep like a rock when I even try to shake you." she said, "So hitting you was the only way."
"You know one day I will still be asleep because you'll hit me so hard I'll end up in a coma!"
"EON?! IS TRINITY AWAKE?!" shouted her mother.
"Yeah she's finally awake!" Eon called down, "Come on, Trinity we gotta get ready for school."
"Yeah yeah, I'm dressing I'm dressing."
She went out of my room and I got dress into my private school uniform. Yup, I'm attending at the Spenser Academy, I'm 11 years old and pretty much this is the last of my first year attending. So I can't wait to get school over with and start off my summer vacation. As you can tell already, I'm a late sleeper, but only because I'm always writing so late at night. So everyday I go to school with dark circles underneath my eyes, at times my cousin say I look like a vampire.
Finally once I was done getting my uniform on. I walk down the stairs with my backpack on and sat at the kitchen table. "Staying up late again huh?" said my aunt.
"You know I can't help it." I said as I started eating the pancakes she made for us.
"Seriously? Grey pants again? Why can't you wear a skirt like every girl at the academy?"
"I hate skirts. They provide drafts, it's easy access, and I just not all that comfortable to me. Would you like me to say more why I don't like skirts?"
"Alright alright, you be you."
...
Eon practically had to drag me out of the house so we can get to school. Since it's so near we can walk it. I perfer to ride my skates but she's against it because it's not lady like. "Come on, Trinity! Quit lagging!"
"Alright, geez give me a break it's the last day of school."
Before I could even get onto the sidewalk all of a sudden I got hit in the face by an envelope! "What the hell?!" I said as I peeled it off and see an owl flew right past me and land on one of our tree's branches. "Weird but hey owls always appear around Salem." I said, "What the hell is this?"
I looked at the front of the envelope and I see that it's addressed to me. I turn it over and I see that it's sealed by a red wax with an H in the middle. "Who's it from?" asked Eon.
"No idea."
"Well come on you can open it on the way to school. We're gonna be late."
"Oh my gosh Eon it's the last day of school! Just chill!"
Since we pretty much had to get going I open it and read it on the way. Honestly the more I read the more I laughed as I said, "Okay either someone has gone mad or has a pretty good imagination."
"Why?" said Eon, "What does it say?"
"You're invited to attend at Hogwarts of witchcraft and wizardry, tch what a joke."
The moment we got to school I threw it in the trash. Whoever sent that knows me, I think I have some ideas who might've sent that for a little laugh. After all, I'm considered as a strange and odd person at this school.
...
During lunch I sat with the only person I know here, which is my cousin Eon. "You look terrible." she said to me.
"Oh really? Is it because I work on my stories late at night? Or is it just the fact you punched me extra hard this morning?"
"Like I said, you're like a rock when you sleep."
"Tch, whatever."
Before I could even open my lunch all of a sudden something hit me in the face again! When I caught it in my hands it was another letter from that so called magic school. Everybody started talking and freaking out that there's an owl in here flying around. Then it finally landed right in front of me. "What the hell, owl?" I said, "Why are you bothering me?"
It looked down at the envelope to get me to read it.
"I know what it says and there's no such thing as magic."
"Are you really arguing to an owl?" said Eon.
"This owl thrown a letter at my face twice today! So no I'm not going to read it because Hogwarts don't exists!"
I tore it up and throw it in the trash. When I came back the owl was gone. "Tch, good ridance."
...
Math was god awfully boring. Instead of paying attention to the teacher's lecture I decided to close my eyes to get at least some shut eye. Until all of a sudden I've felt that familiar smack of the letter from Hogwarts. Everyone gasp or some of the girls here screamed because of this owl that's sitting on top of my desk. I looked at it such displeasure as I said, "Seriously? Are you really going to bother me at the last day of school by giving me a letter that I'm invited to go to magic school?"
It nodded. I sighed as I open the letter and see where's the address to this magic school. I saw on the bottom that it said that its location is at Scottland. "Okay ha ha!" I said as I stand, "Alright class! Fess up and tell me who's idea was this?"
They all looked at me as if I was crazy. "Ms. Graves please take your owl out of this school." said my math teacher.
"Are you serious? This isn't my owl!"
It flew up to land on my shoulder. "... Alright owl, prove to me that this school exists and I might just consider it. But be forwarn, I'm very hard to convince."
It squak at me as if it said, I accept the challenge.
... (Day One)
This light brown and white owl still kept on sending me letters from hogwarts. But it always gives it to me by throwing it at my face. I swear I thought the last letter was going to give me a nose bleed. "Okay you dumb bird!" I said, "Sending me letters doesn't prove that magic exists! TRY AGAIN!"
"Trinity?" said my uncle who peered into my room, "You alright?"
"Uh-," I look at the open window where the owl was supposed to be sitting but isn't there anymore, "Yeah, back from work?"
"Yeah, I brought you another stuff animal."
He took out of his bag a stuffed plushie animal that's a owl. How ironic that it looks like the owl that's been throwing letters at my face. "Gee, Uncle Ven. Thank you so much I love it."
... (Day Two)
I decided to take a break from writing for a little bit and skate at the park for a while. When I've performed a grind on the metal rail all of a sudden I've gotten hit by a sudden gust of wind and was knocked off. Luckily I'm wearing protective gear but MAN THAT STILL HURT LIKE HELL!
I sat up to see that stupid owl sitting on the metal rail. "THAT DIDN"T PROVE ANYTHING! THAT WAS ALL NATURE'S DOING PAL!"
It facepalm itself with its own wing.
... (Day 3)
While trying to get some sleep, I've felt an something hit my head and split open. when I got up to see what I've realized it was an egg and I got yolk all over me. "You got to be kidding me." I said. I heard that familiar squak of the owl who's sitting on top of my dresser.
"I don't know how you got in here, but seriously?! An egg?! That's not magic you stupid bird! Now get out!"
I pointed at the window and all of a sudden it opened by itself. "...Did I?..." I looked back at the owl as it nod at me to answer my question. "...Oh I get it, you've been trying to piss me off until I've done something magical on my own. So you're not a stupid bird after all."
My door opened up as Eon came in. She looked at me so freaked out as she said, "Whoa, you're awake? Has the apocalyspe started?!"
"Oh ha ha, and don't get your hopes up that I'm starting to wake up on my own. This owl here just drop an egg on my head."
She looked at the owl sitting on the dresser, "You do realize my parents aren't going to let you keep the owl."
"I know that! This thing just kept on pissing me off until I've done something magical. By the way bird this letter says that this school is in the Scottland. There's no way I can move there, for one I don't have the money. Also I'm already attending at Spenser Academy."
It squak as it flew out the window. "Wow, I've should've told that to the owl long time ago."
