A/N: Hey guys! This will be my second Harry Potter fic. This is a little bit different from my last one, but as you'll see I like Draco romances, so again my original character will be paired with him eventually. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a Mary Sue, but if it does, I apologize. I'll try my best!! ^_^ Anyways, this is just the summary part to tell you about the story. Hope you like it! Please don't forget to R&R!!!!! Thanks!

GOING THE DISTANCE

Story Summary:

Muggle, Elle Carter, grew up in a small Canadian town with her parents. She was adopted when she was just a baby and looking at the family's physical traits, it was very obvious. Both her parents had light coloured hair with dark eyes, while she had raven coloured hair and shocking violet eyes. However, if you were to ask anyone about it, they would just shrug and say that Elle was their daughter. Her parents had always treated her as their own and for that, Elle was very grateful. They were true to the word of family.

But things were very different for Elle at school. She was treated as an outsider by almost everyone and had no real friends. The only friends that she had at all, weren't really even friends. They were just what you would call 'acquaintances'.

But Elle never complained. She just went day to day trying to be invisible knowing that she would have all the freedom she needed after school on her skateboard. She loved to skateboard more than anything. She was what you would call the typical 'skater chick'. She looked the part anyways. But her personality isn't what you would expect. She has a quiet demeanour and shy personality for the most part - but that doesn't mean that she would let anyone trod all over her.

One day, after receiving a phone call from the school principal about Elle, her parents decide to send her to live with her Nana (grandmother) in England to see if this new start would make things better for her.

Elle isn't exactly thrilled with the idea of leaving her parents and living with her blind Nana, but decides to do it since her parents seem to think it might be good for her.

Once arriving in England, she is enrolled at a local school where things don't exactly go over for her all that well.

One day while on the way home from school, she is chased by a gang of young thugs into the train station where she is knocked unconscious by a fall, only to find herself waking up in a place called Hogwarts. At Hogwarts she learns that wizards and witches aren't just from fairy tales, and that magic really does exist. She also learns some shocking revelations of her importance to an age old prophecy that could make or break the future of all human kind. She becomes frightened and wants nothing more than to return to the world she once knew. When she gets that chance, will she take it? Or will she choose to fulfill the destiny that has been laid out for her?

This is a story that explores the life of one young girl. We will witness her accomplishments, defeats, and first love. We will be with her while she discovers her importance in this life and who she was in a past life. But most importantly, we will learn how one ordinary girl can rise above those who doubt her and prove to all others, as well as herself, that she is worthwhile.
