Part 1

Panting you frantically ran away from the most horrible thing you just saw. How could this happen here. The Dark Lord was in America. What went wrong? With blood around the rims of your shoes you ran into the house and told your worried looking parents what you just saw. "It was him" you said in a nervous voice"...he killed the man, I was standing right there, he just...KILLED HIM! (you let out a powerful sob)And then he started to chase me. I lost him but it's only a matter of time before he finds me. It was horrible, he tortured that guy until (sob) until...(you began crying your eyes out)" your parents hug you and exchange worried looks. "Bill" your mom says to your father"We have to get out of here. She's right, its only a matter of time before he finds her and we all die." you cry even harder. " "Right" your dad replies with a grim look on his face"Both of you, pack your belongings, I'll call the Ministry of Magic and tell them you just witnessed a murder but won't say who committed it. You know how these days, the ministry is in denial about You-know-who's return. I'll see what they say." your father walks out of the room and sends your small owl, (Marzipan) to the ministry with a note. A few hours later, after you have packed your bags and calmed your crying, you pull your two large luggage bags into the living room where you are greeted by a mid aged, red haired man. "Well hello there" he says to you with a bright smile"You must be Alex? (you nod) My name is Arthur Weasley. I'm sadly the only one in the ministry who can accommodate you at the time." "Alex" your dad finishes"Were going to England. Since you-know-who's been sighted, you will need to be questioned by a secret group called the Order of the Phoenix. You must keep this quiet at all costs." "Ahhhhh, yes, and I haven't told you the good news" pipes up the man called Arthur"You will be meeting my children and their friends and they will be helping you back to Hogwarts. I've just gotten out of the hospital and they left school to come see me." "Wait" you finally pipe up"What's a Hog-warts" "Oh, its a wonderful school for people like us, Witches and Wizards. You will be attending there while your in the Wizard Protection Program." "Oh" you nod your head. Suddenly your mom comes down the stairs with a floating box of her things following her. "Well" she says gloomily, "I think that's everything. (she snivels a bit) We better get going." "Right then" says the man"If you would all just hold this with me." He pulls a tea kettle out of his pocket. "But before you go, (he continues as he points at you) Your name is Tina now...ok." you simply nod and grab hold of the tea kettle wondering why you'd do something that stupid when suddenly you feel a jerk around you naval and your feet lift off the ground. After a few minutes, of which you were spinning wildly and feeling as if you were going to vomit, your feet land firmly on the ground and buckle beneath you causing you to fall on your butt. "Now then, that wasn't so bad" says Mr. Weasley cheerfully looking at your dazed and dizzy family. Suddenly without warning your things all fall from a hole in the ceiling and it repairs itself. "Everybody, they're here" called the man to the ceiling that had magically repaired itself. You heard footsteps coming from the floor above and two loud CRAKS as two twin, red haired boys appeared and walked behind Mr. Weasley, their father apparently. A few seconds later three kids came down who looked your age, a brown frizzy haired girl, a boy with messy black hair and another boy with fiery red hair (he was kinda cute). They were followed by a younger looking girl with straight red hair and a grim looking man wearing old raggedy clothes that you recognized to be Sirius black that you saw in Wanted posters all over your town (but you didn't panic seeing that he was with all these people without killing them). "Who are they" says one of the twins"Yeah, they dress funny" said the other. You stand up (looking down on your normal muggle clothes as you did go to a muggle school until now and gave him a stiff look and gazed around the room. You were in a dimly lit room with not much color and lifeless walls. Who in their right mind would want to stay here you thought...

Suddenly it felt like everyone was staring at you. It was making you feel very uncomfortable. "Right" says Arthur looking at you and your family"These two right here are Fred and George (points from one to the other) or was it George and Fred (points again)Well either way, that's who they are." He then walks behind the four younger looking kids (who looked your age) and pointed to the first one. "This is Hermione Granger, my son's female friend, (then he walks over to the dark haired boy and points at him) This is my son's other good friend Harry Potter. (ah yes, you knew exactly who he was) (then he walked over to the cute boy with red hair) This is my youngest son Ron (Ron smiled and nodded to you causing you to smile back for several seconds in which you were smiling at each other and you got lost in his deep blue eyes although you were in no mood for smiling) And finally, this is my daughter Ginny (he pointed to the straight, red haired girl who smiled and said hello) Everyone" he said loudly to the group"This is Alex, but you will need to call her Tina around other people besides those in the order" just then he was cut off by the opening of a door in the front of the room and a tall, lean old man with a long silvery beard staggered in to the room with an extremely straight face. Everyone turned to look at him "Dumbledore" said Sirius suddenly"Our guest of honor just arrived from America." Everyone but Mr. Weasley, the man known as Dumbledore, and Sirius exchanges exited looks. You were sure that they were all curious about America. "Yes" said Dumbledore"I know. And I ask that you all don't badger this girl as she has just witnessed a grave situation concerning Voldemort. (everyone winced) I hope that you all keep this to yourselves and only ask her about it if she feels like discussing it... Now" he said turning his head to you"If you would like, you can talk this out with me as I must know, but you can choose to tell me after you get something to eat, and wait till you come to Hogwarts in the morning." "Ummm..."you thought for a moment and decided"I'd like to wait till morning if that is fair to you." "Very well." said Dumbledore in a wispy voice, then he walked out the door and vanished. "Well now where is she" came a woman's voice from behind another door"Ahhhhh" she said barging in and looking at you. "Dear, you must have been through a lot, are you hungry? (you shook your head no) Tired? (you shrugged) Oh very well (she looked at Ron) Ronald, will you help her get her stuff into the living room? No need to take it upstairs, you'll be returning to school in the morning. "Alright mum." He said and he walked over to you and your things. "Here" he said "I'll grab this end and you get that end, we'll carry it in to the other room over there." He nodded his head over to a shabby door next to the front one. "Thanks." you say and you smile. The two of you heave your large luggage into the other room and sit it down. "So" said Ron panting"I guess you'll be sorted into your house at school tomorrow all by yourself" "Erm, house" you said back. "You don't know" he replied, and you shook your head no. "Well" he continued"Everyone gets sorted into a house, There's Griffindor (that's me and everyone else here), Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slitherine (he gave a hateful look)."Oh" you say "Well, at least I know you, I hope I get into Griffindor then. I'd hate to be stuck with complete strangers. "Yeah" he continued, especially the Slitherine, every Death eater and follower of you-know-who has come from Slitherine." "You shuddered at the thought of being stuck with them...

Part 2

You and Ron both walked out of the room and saw that Hermione and Harry were headed upstairs to get some rest. "Dears" said Mrs. Weasley to you and Ron"I think you two should be getting to bed now, its very late and...well...you've had a long day haven't you Alex" You nod your head and begin to walk up the stairs behind Ron who points you out to your room. "There" he says"You'll be bunking with Hermione and Ginny." You smile at him and say "Good night Ron." in such a flirtish way that you don't even realize that you flirted. Ron's cheeks turned red as he stumbled backwards into his room and you turn slowly and enter yours. When you get in there Hermione and Ginny were setting up an extra bunk just for you. "There" says Hermione"That should do. (looks over at you) Oh, there you are. We set up a bunk that you can sleep in tonight." "Yeah, bet you can't wait to see Hogwarts tomorrow, eh? Ginny interrupted. "Sure." you said grimly as you collapsed onto the bed and closed your eyes. It was late but you still couldn't sleep. You were sure that you were the only one awake in the whole house, minus a shrieking ghoul that was up in the attic apparently. You felt your eye lids drooping as the gentle pitter patter of rain on the clouded windows lulled you to sleep.

Suddenly you were running down your old street again. Your shoes were covered with blood. You looked back at a ghostly white man with red eyes was torturing a man lying on the ground oozing blood all over the pavement. At this sight, you began to cry insanely. Tears tore down you cheeks as you looked back again and the hooded man began to chase you. You sobs echoed into the distance as you tripped over a stick and bent your leg. The ghostly man was now hovering over top of you. You could see all the blood on his cape. He points his want at your forehead and you beg him to stop. You beg him to let you go. Your tears are running on full blast now. The man opens his mouth to talk and...

The ghostly man then said"Alex, wake up" His voice sounded like Ron's. Then the man bent over and began to shake you violently and said again"Alex, come on now, wake up." You closed you eyes...this was getting too weird. You opened them again but you were now back at 13 Grimauld place but instead of on the bed, you were hunched in the corner of the room with everyone staring at you. "Alex" Ron said with a worried tone in his voice, are you ok" "You were freaking out in your bed and started crying." Hermione continued. "It woke us all up." said George. "Yeah, scared the bloody hell out of us." continued Fred. You stared at everybody for a moment before several sobs burst out of you like an alien. "It was horrible" you shouted and cried at the same time"He chased me! He killed that man! He-he-he wants to kill me! He saw me there. He knows who I am. I-I-." your talking was replaced by sorrowful crying. Ron sat down next to you and pat you on the back. You then cried louder as you wrapped one arm around him and put your head on his shoulder. You could feel his face get hot on your ear. Everyone in the room exchanges quick worried glances. After Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Mrs. Weasley all got you calmed down, you looked out the window to see that dawn was rising. "Well" said Mr. Weasley"It's time to get going. We'll grab a bite to eat and then Tonks (a woman who looked like an old tall lady today) and Moody (a man with an ugly bowler hat and a large chunk of his nose missing) will escort you all to Hogwarts."

"What does everyone want for breakfast" you asked suddenly. "Oh, no dear I'll cook." said Mrs. Weasley. "You've done enough for me." you said"You took me in till my parents find a place to stay. The least I could do is get breakfast." "No, that's quite alright." Mrs. Weasley argued. "The cooking is up to me. You've had a rough night. You can relax." "No, really. I don't need to cook." you said standing up. "See" You waved your hand through the air and on the third rotation of your wrist an Egg McMuffin appeared in your hand. You took a bite. You love McDonalds breakfast sandwiches. Everybody stared in awe. "Blimey" exclaimed Ron"How'd you do that" "Yeah" said Harry. "Well" you answered. "I am one of three witches and wizards in the world who can do this. Its a special power I posses. I can read minds and make things appear, disappear, and shrink, float...all that stuff. I'm telepathic"

Everybody stood in silence for a moment until...

"Brilliant" yelled Ron out of the blue. "That's wicked" exclaimed Hermione. "Awesome" yelled the twins. "I wish I could do that dear." Said Mrs. Weasley"it'd make living a lot easier...and...Well...if you'd like then you can give us all something to eat." Hmmmm, you think to yourself for a moment. "Mr. Weasley" you say to him"There's a muggle restaurant called McDonalds, would you like to try a muggle food for breakfast" Mr. Weasley grinned in absolute delight and stepped forward. "Well" he said happily"What is it? And yes, I'd be delighted to try a muggle food." "Its called a breakfast burrito. It has ham, egg, sausage, cheese, and green peppers all wrapped in a steamy flour tortilla." you say to him sounding oddly like a TV commercial advertising the food. "Ohhh, that sounds lovely, may I" he says with a grin on his face. You read his mind earlier and found out he was fascinated by muggles. You wave your hand around and on the third rotation a breakfast burrito appeared in your hand. You handed it to Mr. Weasley and everyone watched him curiously as he took a large bite. "Hmmmm" he says. Everyone was itching to hear what he says. "That is damn good" he announced to the group and suddenly cries came from everyone in the room. "I want one" "Can I try one" "Pass one over here" "OOOOH ME! ME" as fast as you could, you magic-ed up some more until everyone was deep in the glorious taste of the burrito. "Wow, muggles migh' haf' no magic bu' they still haf' good tast'" said Ron with a mouthful of burrito. You giggled a bit and after everyone had finished their breakfast, their bags were packed and you were all on your way. "Mum" said Ginny"How will we be getting back to school" "The Knight Bus." answered a man who you thought was named Lupin. "I've always wanted to see what its like on the knight bus." said Ron excitedly. "No, trust me" said Harry at once"You don't." Lupin held out his arm...BANG! a purple, triple Decker bus appeared out of nowhere and a young pimply boy came out. "Welcome to the knight bus" he said but was interrupted rudely by Tonks. "Yes, yes, welcome, EVERYONE ON" she said. They obeyed. You sat down in a plain chair on the first floor. Ron soon after took the seat next to you but nervously looked away after he noticed you looking at him. His ears started to turn red. You actually thought it was flattering. Mrs. Weasley told the driver where you were going and CRACK! You were off. The bus jerked wildly as it turned and narrowly missed a lamppost. CRACK! The bus stopped and you were thrown off your seat violently. You sat up and before you knew it CRACK! the bus took off again and you were thrown into the back of the bus. You were just recovering when CRACK! The bus took off again and something very large landed on top of you. You opened your eyes and saw two blue ones staring deeply into yours. After finally taken in what just happened, you realized that Ron was laying directly on top of you. You were inches away from each other when CRACK! the bus took off again and you were thrown foreword and you landed on top of Ron who was blushing furiously. You smiled, tapping his cheek with you hand and giggling. You got up and CRACK! the bus stopped throwing you backward onto a poll that jammed itself into your back. "Well" said Mrs. Weasley"Here we are...Hogwarts"
