Hi well uhh...this is my story...and yeah...It's a bit short, but the next chapter will be longer I promise.

The young girl swung her long black hair over her shoulder as she trudged up the walk of number 4 Private Drive. She carried a small bag, containing what she called "all of her worldly treasures." She reached up and pressed the doorknob, and she heard odd noises coming from inside. Then the door swung open to reveal a tall (well to her he was) boy, with jet black hair, and emerald green eyes. "Hi." she said brightly "My name's Tessa, I just arrived from the orphanage." she held out her hand and the boy shook it.

"HEY AUNT PETUNIA! THAT GIRL'S HERE!" he called over his shoulder, and then turned back to her" Come on in. " he said, stepping aside to let her by. Suddenly she were caught in a VERY boney hug " Ooooh! Look at you! You're so cute!" she squealed, pinching one of her cheeks. how come I get all the weirdos... She thought and forced a smile." Harry!" the lady barked."Take Tessa up to the spare room! " she took your bag, and forced it into his arms.

He sighed, and walked up the stairs "Here, your room's this way. " he said, and she followed him. He took her to a room at the end of the hall. "Here ya go." he said swinging the door open." This, is your room." She gasped, not from amazement, but from horror. The room was a sickly white, with drab yellow curtains, and a bed set to match(It was ALMOST as bad as the orphanage. (All it was missing was a huge hole in the floor)

She grimaced, and the boy laughed as he saw it."At least it's a room. They made me sleep in the cupboard under the stairs for years." he said, and she giggled."That's where they used to put me at the orphanage. They called it the time-out center, but I called it my room" she laughed.

"Now why would you be in there?" he asked, sincerely interested."Well let's just say I am ahem WAS a little bugger." He chuckled at this."So what's your full name?" she asked flopping down on the bed."Harry James Potter." he answered, and she smiled" Tessa Rose Black. It's a pleasure to meet you" she said with a small bow. She saw him freeze when she said her last name, but he shook it of and smiled."Well I'll leave you to get settled in. My rooms just 3 doors down from here on the opposite side, Come visit anytime." He said as he turned and walked out of the room.

Well that's it for now. Read the next one to see what happens.
