"No! No! Take.. NO! Kill me instead! No! Please!" She screamed.
There was evil cackles and a flash of green filled the room.
I woke screaming, sweat covering my brow. My bushy hair falling everywhere. Mum came in, pale and scared as she normally is when this happens. Oh well. I looked at the clock. 6:30AM. I sighed. Might as well get up now i guess. I stood up and walked down to the kitchen, turning the bright light on and running some water for tea. I sat down at the dining room table and turned on the t.v. to the news of course, nowadays there were very few educational channels on at this time in the morning.
I jumped when the kettle screached, letting me know that the water was boiled. After fixing my tea i decided to make some eggs. Might as well, I thought someone should enjoy the morning. I ran my fingeres over my scar lightly. Mum and Dad never would tell me how i had gotten it, just that it was a vedry sad and scary story that they would tell me when i was older. They'd been telling me for almost eleven years now, you'd think that that is old enough.
Wierd things have been happening lately with me at school. Earlier in the week Sheldon Murray pushed me in gym class and ended up tangled in the ropes we climb in gym. Also yesterday i was in the garden, planting more flowers when i saw that my favourite one had died. I started crying and it grew greener and prettier and more beautiful then before. When i told mum about this she said it was utter rubbish and that i should take no notice to it. So i tried not to.
One day, when the post was arriving a man in a pointy purple hat just appeared at the door. I squealed and he chuckled. His white hair and half-moon spectackles made him less scary than he had first appeared.
"Not to fear not to fear Miss Granger! I am here to talk to your parents about letting you go to Hogwarts School of Wichcraft and Wizardry. I'm Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of the school." He smiled and his blue eyes sparkeled.
I gaped. " But Mum and Dad have always said that magic is complete and utter rubbish. There's no such thing!" But deep inside i knew that what i said was wrong and that he was telling the truth. " So when do i get to go." I asked.
"Well september the first you will need to be on platform Nine and Three Quarters. But it is the first of August right now. On the fourteenth Rubeus Hagrid will come and pick you up, to take you to Daigon Alley to get all your school supplies. You'll sleep in the leakey cauldron and on the first you'll go to the platform and ride the trasin all the way to Hogwarts!"
I smiled. I think I'm goin to like this man. He started talking to mum and dad about what i would do there but i ignored them. I knew all i needed to know. Witch. I am a witch! No wonder strange things have been happening to me! It's my magical powers!
The days after Professor's visit were dull, after the excitement of that day but i was prepared to wait as long as i had to to be with my own people. I never had really fit in at the elementary school. The girls would tease me about my clothes or pull my hair and the boys would make fun of my intelligence. I hope they're smart too. Being an eleven year old mathmeticien in the making wasn't all peaches and cream. It was bloody well time for things to change!
The day of Hagrids visit was finally upon us and by the time it had become dark i was beggining to lose hope.
" Don't worry darling even if he doesn't show up you're still the smartest girl in your grade." My father piped.
I glared at him and his smile fell. " You may not think this is that important but this means the world to me. If you can't understand that then fine but at least sup[port me!" I snapped.
Suddenly, i heard a bang. The door was knocked down and i saw the biggest man in the living world that i had ever seen. His face was bloody and his hair was mussed.
" Hermoine lets get in the motercycle an' get out o' 'ere!" He bellowed and i clomplied. I nodded to my mum and dad, not wasteing the time to hug them and got into the cubby attached to the cycle. He revved the engine and we set off.
Tell me how you liked it! I dunno if i should stop this or not so ya! =) I know this chapter was short but then next one will be much much longer!
