Chapter 1

Lisa sat on her lopsided bed, waiting for school to start on September 1st. She was starting her new school, called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had gotten all of her supplies, and was waiting for the next day so her parents could take her to Kings Cross Train Station. She lived in a normal house on a pretty normal street. Number 6 Privet Drive was her address. The only not normal things on her street were the Dursleys. They had a son about Lisa's age, named Dudley. Dudley had gone to Lisa's school, and he was that bully-type of kid. He had a cousin that lived with him named Harry Potter. He was a skinny boy with extremely messy hair. Lisa thought Harry was nice, and unlike others that tried to avoid him, (because Dudley and his gang beat up Harry and all his friends) she actually talked to him a few times. Lisa tried to be friendly with Harry, but he seemed too occupied with running away from Dudley. Lisa wished that Harry had been accepted at Hogwarts too! But if he hadn't there was a good chance they would only see each other during summer vacation.

Lisa looked out the window and saw the usual; Harry running away from Dudley. No wait, it was Dudley running away from Harry. Now that's a rare site. Harry fell to the ground, laughing. Lisa could see the look of horror on Dudley's face as he ran inside with his fat little legs. Lisa decided she would go talk to Harry, now that Dudley was scared of him; she had nothing to be afraid of. She hopped down the steps and out on to the street. Harry had stood up, stopped laughing, and started to go inside.

"Harry!" He turned around.

"Hi, uh, Lisa"

"I can't believe that Dudley was scared of you, now that's a first." She giggled. "I guess you don't want me to tell anyone at sch—"

"Oh, I'm not going to that school anymore. The Dursleys, uh, they, uh, they switched me to a new boarding school. Sorry." So even if Lisa had stayed, she wouldn't be seeing him anymore.

"What school?"

"Uh--you see--uh--they haven't told me yet. It's somewhere near--Teddington, yeah Teddington."

"That's nice."

"Are you going to the same school?"

"Me? Oh, no, no, no, I'm transferring to a school far from here, well, sort of; it's really close to-- Smeltings!"

"That's where Dudley's going."

"Oh, well then, lucky me!"

"So, do you want to take a short walk? The Dursleys will be glad to get rid of me for a while." He smirked. Lisa blushed.

"Sure, I guess."

They walked side by side down to the end of Privet Drive. They didn't talk much; Lisa was too embarrassed. On the way back, Harry finally said something.

"I guess I'll miss you, once I'm gone, I mean" Lisa smiled.

"I'll miss you too" And for the first time ever, Harry blushed.
