Lara Bentley had just received her letters from Hogwarts. She
was excepted! Of course, she already knew she was a witch because her
parents were a witch and a wizard, but she wasn't that good at magic so she
never thought that she would get in.
"Mum, I got my letter! I'm excepted! The headmaster's name is
Professor Potter! I guess It's probably like Harry Potter Grandson or Great
Grandson or something!"
"That's brilliant, Lara. When I was at school the headmaster
was Professor Tipon. This should be really interesting for you!" Said her
mum, Jessica Bentley.
"I know! So, when are we going to go to Diagon Ally for my
stuff?"
"How about tomorrow. You did get your letter late so you only
have about a week and a half to get it."
"Okay."
Lara was so excited. She was sure she would never get into
Hogwarts. Of course she wasn't forgetful or anything, its just she never
really shown magic or anything except for one time when she made a glass
break with her brain but that just might have been the timing. It was an
old glass.
She went into the kitchen for some lunch and saw her father,
James Bentley. He was named after Harry Potter's dad by his mother. "Dad,
I'm excepted!"
"That's great Honey! Whose the headmaster now?"
"Professor Potter. Mum and I think hes Harry's Grandoson or
Great Grandson or something!"
Her father stared. "What's the first name?"
Lara looked at the letter. "Tom. Why?"
"I knew him in my days at Hogwarts. He is brilliant. All the
professors said hes just like his Grandfather. Except for the whole
Voldemort and scar thing."
Nobody was really afraid to say the name any more. Voldemort
was defeated but nobody knew how or by who. Lara guessed that Harry
defeated him because he was found dead by a graveyard about 60 years ago
right after Voldemort was found dead.
"Wow." Was all Sara could say.
"Well, sweetie, are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"How about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"
"Okay." With that she found a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
on the table right in front of her. "You're great at magic, Dad."
"You will be just as good. All you need is a little training.
That's why you're going to Hogwarts."
After Lara was done eating she went upstairs and layed on her
bed thinking about Harry Potter. She didn't know why but he seemed more
interesting to her than ever and she really wished she knew a lot more
about him. Who were his friends at Hogwarts? How did he survive the Killing
Curse? Who did he live with after his parents died? How did he get there?
There were about a million questions. If only she could figure them out.
She sat there for hours until she was called down for dinner.
She sat at the dinner table hardly eating her chicken and mashed potatoes.
After they were done eating she heard her mum's voice.
"Lara, what's wrong? You've hardly touched your food."
"Nothing. I've just been thinking about whats going to happen
at Hogwarts when I get there and what Diagon Ally is going to be like," she
lied. For some reason, she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to tell
her parents that she had been thinking about Harry. She went to sleep that
night and had a dream that she was living in Harry's days. Of course she
had no idea what it was like but she just some how made it up as she went
along. Harry (in her dream) had one best friend named Jeff and was always
good in class. He was top student. She was just beginning to see him go
into history of magic class when she was being shaken awake by her mum.
"Time to get up, honey. We're leaving for Diagon Ally in 30 minutes."
"Okay mum." Lara got dressed and ate breakfast and soon she
found herself in the back of her mum's car on the way to The Leaky
Cauldron. "Mum, why are we going here? I thought we are going to Diagon
Ally."
"We are but we have to go through here to get there."
"Okay." She said wondering how this could be.
When they got in the old pub they went to a room towards the
back. Lara saw her mom pull out her wand and touch 3 bricks. Lara watched
in amazement as the bricks moved apart slowly to make an arched opening.
Behind it was hundreds of witches and wizards and a whole bunch of stores
and there was one big building called Gringott's Wizarding Bank. "Whoa."
Was all Lara could say."
"Well, Lara lets go to Gringott's for your money, then. They
walked to the huge building and stepped inside. Lara let out a small cry as
she saw goblin-like creatures.
"Mum, what are those?"
"They're goblins. Don't worry they will just help you get your
money from your vault. I have your key right here." She held up a small key
and gave it to a goblin behind one of the desks.
"Vault 367, please."
"Okay." The goblin grunted. "Follow me."
They followed him into the cart that ran along a track down a
long hall. Vault 367 showed up as they went down the long hall and they
stopped there. The goblin took out the key and out it in the lock and
twisted it. The door slowly opened to reveal a small pile of gold. It
wasn't extremely small but it wasn't extremely big. "Is that all mine?"
"No, not all of it. You're not that spoiled." She laughed. They
gathered some gold from the vault and went back out into the Ally. (A/N:
That's it! Is it long??? LOL)
