AN: Hi this is my first Fanfic I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter the genius named J.K. Rowling does. But I do own my characters.

Chapter 1

I woke up with faint streams of light coming through my bedroom window. My dad was beside my bed. "Rosie, Rosie sweetie wake up you don't want to be late on your first day," He said "and you definitely don't want to be late for the Hogwarts Express."

"Like you and Uncle Harry?" I say in my sweetest voice recalling the memory Uncle Harry and dad like to tell on the eve of September 1st. When Uncle Harry and dad missed the Hogwarts express in their second year. Dad smiled and left me still lying in bed.

"Unnhhh" I groan as I get out of bed. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"Nevvveeeeeeer!" My little brother comes running out of the bathroom semi-nude. I stepped out of the way just in time.

"HUGO RONALD WEASLY! GET BACK IN HERE NOW! WE WILL NOT LET YOU MAKE US LATE FOR YOUR SISTERS FIRST DAY!" Mum's voice came out of the bathroom like a tornado on a sunny day. She turns and sees me and said, "Oh hello darling." After a mumbled good morning I brush my teeth and go to my room.

As soon as I step in I see my little brother playing with his bug bites. "You know, "I say startling him. "First if you don't stop scratching those bug bites you'll get horrid scabs and second if you don't go and apologize, mum will use the summoning charm."

"She wouldn't."

"Do you want to test that theory?" I asked.

"ACCIO—"

"Coming mum!" Hugo yelled. I snickered under my breath. I wonder what Hogwarts is going to be like. I hear that Professor McGonagall is going to be a good headmistress. I
know Professor Longbottom would be so much fun he came every Christmas with his wife, Hannah Longbottom and their son Vincent and daughter Jac which is short for Jacqueline.

"AHHHHH" I screamed as I slipped on of the stairs.

Luckily dad was at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Wingardium Leviosa" instantly I felt a tickling sensation but not before I felt my head hit one of the stairs. "Sorry sweetie." I told him it was fine it was just my klutziness kicking in. I went down stairs and put an ice pack on my head and made myself some breakfast. Hugo came barging into the room. He accidently hit the table and spilled all my cereal on me.

"Hugo look what you did these are my favorite pajamas you little prat!"

"Now, now Hugo say you're sorry and you do the same Rosie." Mum said as she walked into the room just hearing the end of our conversation.

"Sorry Rosie." said Hugo in his meek attempt at trying to sound sincere.

"Why do I have to say I'm sorry he's the one who spilled cereal on me?!" I say angrily. He is the one who made the mistake not me. I can't believe mum is making me apologize.

"Still you do not call each other names."

"UGH! Fine I am sorry Hugo." At that I stomped back to my room. Mumbling under my breathe. "For you being such a little prat" I walk into my room and get dressed in a simple t-shirt and jeans. Cute but sophisticated. I think to myself. "Hello my sweet Red Lily" I chuckle at the joke that lies underneath her name. When I first got her I was having trouble thinking of a name for her. It was on my eleventh birthday and I asked Mum and Dad for an owl but instead I was surprised when they got me the most beautiful Phoenix ever. We walked into the pet store on Diagon Ally looking for an owl. While Mum and Dad were talking to the store owner I walked off to look at the owls.

All of a sudden I see a marvelous Phoenix landed on my shoulder and started nuzzling my hair and neck. I giggled slightly because it tickled. "OH MY!" Said the store owner unexpectedly. "She has the gift."

"What gift?" said me, Mum, and Dad at the same time.

"You see when a phoenix fist sees a person it has a gift to see into its past. Now a phoenix has a very amazing and complex personality almost exactly like a person. When a phoenix chooses a person it tries to find a person that has a perfect balance of some of its personality so that they can balance each other out. When the phoenix is born it has a dark side to it what its companion does is stops that dark side from growing in turn , considering how wise a phoenix is, it gives the human advice and brings a lifelong friend that no matter what will never turn on them," she said to our stunned faces. "And your daughter has been chosen."

"Wait how can a phoenix give me advice, it can't talk." I said confused.

"Well, a phoenix gifts its companion with two gift one is they can talk to each other and the second is, well let's hope you never find out the second." Said the shop owner.

"Wait, wait, wait let me get this straight so now I can talk to this phoenix?" I say incredulous. "So your telling me I can now talk to an animal."

"Pretty much although I would not consider a phoenix as just a simple 'animal' it is a very amazing creature." After that my parents figured a phoenix has chosen me so why wasn't that as good as an owl. They talked to professor McGonagall about me being able to bring her. It took some convincing but eventually she agreed.

That is when I was starting to have a problem finding a name for her. When my little cousin Lilly said I could name her Lilly Mum told me there was a flower named Red Lilly.
"Ya, ya name her Red Lilly, Rose." Said Lilly enthusiastically.

I very much like that name Rosie. HOLY COW! Are you my phoenix? I asked timidly. Yes I am. Now I very much like the name Red Lilly I think that is going to be my name. Now you can call me Red Lilly.

"Okay. I think her name will be Red Lilly." I said and a look of pure appreciation and honor spread across Lilly's face.

Returning to the future I looked back at her. "ROSIE HURRY UP WE'RE LEAVING!" Shouted mum. I quickly told Red (Red Lilly's nickname) to get on my shoulder grabbed my trunk and Reds cage and went downstairs. In my mind I sang. And to Hogwarts we go to the tune of Wizards of Oz's yellow brick road.
