Chapter 1 My Acceptance Letter
Have you ever wondered what it would be like growing up, and not knowing where your life was going.
Well that's me I didn't know where, my life was going till that one unexpected day when a letter came through the post, it was addressed to me, I never received mail before this not once.
Hermione came knocking on my bedroom door.
" Lexi you have got a letter from Hogwarts, I think you will be joining me this year, it's going to be so much fun the guys will love you"
I woke up went to my bedroom door, I could see the smile on Hermione's face, as she already attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and she was going to be starting her second year there this year, where else me I would be starting my first year at the school, I was both nervous and excited at the same time.
I opened the letter and here is what it said.
Dear Miss Granger
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, enclosed in this letter you will find a list of things you will need for your first year at Hogwarts. I will look forward to seeing you on the 1st of September.
Yours Faithfully
Professor McGonagall
I suddenly started to feel excited in just 2 days' time, I would be on the Hogwarts Express on my way to the school. But first we needed to get to a place called Diagon Alley to get the equipment I needed for school.
Hermione if you haven't guessed already is my family, she is my cousin I loved her like a sister, her mother and father took me in when my parents died at the hands of a Dark Wizard named Voldemort, I was only 2 years old at the time, so I didn't really understand until my aunt and uncle explained it on my 12th birthday.
I was upset at first because I never got to know my parents, but I realised that my life was only just starting or was going to be.
When I finally got dressed and went downstairs to get breakfast Hermione was on her Blackberry, she was messaging Harry, Ron, Ginny and Draco telling them that I would be starting at Hogwarts this year.
I had only meet Harry and Ron a few times at the Burrow when me and Hermione went there for Christmas, I never met Ginny as of yet, but Hermione said I would lover as well as Ron's twin brothers Fred and George. As the day went on Hermione was talking and asking me what I needed for school.
" Lexi we will be going to Diagon Alley soon are you ready to get everything you need for school"
" Yes I am ready let's get this show on the road".
So Hermione took me to Diagon Alley to purchase all the equipment I needed for school, we travelled by something called Flo Powder, Hermione had travelled by Flo powder before so she took me with her so I knew were to go, when we got to Diagon Alley, Harry, Ron and his family where there already.
Hermione went over to Ron and kissed him on the lips, Ron and Hermione had been dating since the end of their last term at Hogwarts, and also Harry was with Ginny.
" Hey Babe how are you, was your summer okay I missed you" said Hermione.
" Yeah was okay, missed you too, Hey Lexi are you okay" asked Ron
" Hey Ron yeah I'm good thanks can't wait to start Hogwarts, I'm excited to go now" I replied.
Ron smiled then we were joined by the rest of his family, Hermione introduced me to them.
" Lexi this is Ginny, Fred, George and Molly their mother"
" Hi Lexi it's so nice to finally meet you, I've been so excited to meet you" said Ginny
" Same here Ginny it's nice to meet you too" I replied
Ginny gave me a hug and then went to Harry.
" So you're the famous Lexi then, we've heard so much about you from Hermione, I'm Fred and he's George nice to meet you at last"
" Nice to meet you both, and I never realised Hermione spoke about me" I replied shocked
" Oh yeah all the time all the time apart from when her and Ron are shagging of course" Said George
"Oh shut up George, only because you can't get any" Ron shouted
We all laughed and was about to leave to go to Flourish and Blotts somebody called out to us and we turned to see who it was.
" Draco how are you doing mate, we was just about to go to the book store, care to join us" asked Harry
" Yeah sure was just heading there myself, hi you must be Lexi Hermione's cousin she talks very highly of you" Draco said with a sweet smile
" Yeah it's very nice too meet you Draco" I said as I smiled
Me and Draco were talking the whole way to the bookstore, we got on so well, I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous he was and that smile made me weak at the knees.
I saw Fred at the corner of my eye staring at us, so I smiled at him, he smiled back
as we entered Flourish and Blotts, and Hermione stopped me and took me aside.
" I think Draco likes you Lexi, you both get on so well why don't you ask him out see what he says"
" I hardly know him Hermione maybe when I get to know him a bit more" I smiled
Fred heard this and looked mad, he came over and asked " What are you two girls talking about"
" Oh just girl's stuff you wouldn't understand it" Hermione said
Then we left Fred as she dragged me to get my books for my first year.
After we had finished shopping for my school stuff, Hermione took me to get my wand at a shop called Ollivanders.
" This is where you get your wand from Lexi, why don't you go in and get your wand while we finish up with our shopping". said Hermione
" Okay see you soon guys" I replied
So has everyone else went to finish their shopping, I turned to open the door to the shop when Draco grabbed my arm and smiled at me with a response off.
" I'll see you on the train Lexi maybe we could sit together and get to know each other"
I smiled and replied "Yeah that would be nice Draco".
Then he turned and went to join the others while I went into the shop to buy my wand.
As I entered the shop the man behind the counter spoke.
" Ah I take it your Lexi Granger, Hermione told me you would be starting this term and I have just the wand for you, it's a dragon heart string and a phoenix feather, 12 inches.
" Thank you Mr Ollivander" I said as I paid for my wand as I left the shop Hermione was outside waiting for me she had a cage in her hands with a cloth over it.
" Lexi I got you a present hope you like it"
As I took the cloth off the cage I saw a snowy white owl with black stripes down its back.
" Oh My God thanks Hermione it's perfect just what I would have picked "
She smiled and gave me a hug, I wondered where Draco was and if he had finished his shopping yet and was waiting for me on the train at all.
" Hermione where's Draco as he left for the train yet"
" Yeah why Lexi what has he said to you did you ask him about what we talked about in the bookstore"
" No he said that he wanted me to sit with him on the train so we could get to know each other a bit better and I said that I would love too" I smiled
" See I told you he liked you, I think you and him would make a nice couple"
I smiled and we started walking out of Diagon Alley and up to the train station, when we arrived at the station we all stopped in-between platforms 9 and 10.
" Why are we stopping between platforms 9 and 10"
" The Hogwarts Express is in between the platforms that's why we call it platform 9 and three quarters you'll see when you get through the gate"
Ron, Fred and George went thorough first, followed by Ginny, Harry and then Hermione grabbed my hand and led me through the gate, when we got through the gate I was gobsmacked, there stood the Hogwarts Express ready and waiting to take me to Hogwarts, I was excited I looked around for Draco but I couldn't see him I wondered where he was or if he was already on the train.
" Come on Lexi I'll help you get your trunk onto the carriage" Said Fred
" Thanks Fred" I said as he helped me onto the train with my trunk.
When everything was loaded we found an empty compartment and went to sit down, there was me, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Fred and George and of course Hermione, we were the joined by a few more people.
" Lexi this is Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood they are really good friends of ours"
" Nice to meet you Lexi" said Luna
" It's very nice to meet you too Luna and of course you too Neville" I smiled
as the train started moving, all I could think about was Draco and if he was thinking about me.
When we were all settled in the compartment the food trolley came round to see if anybody wanted anything from it.
" Lexi would you like anything from the trolley" asked Hermione
" Erm no I'm fine thank you Hermione"
Hermione knew I was thinking about Draco see could see the look in my eyes, she came to sit next to me.
" Lexi are you okay you seem a bit distant are you thinking about Draco"
" Yeah he said he would see me on the train and I haven't seen him at all and just wondered if he meant any of what he said to me that's all"
" I'm sure he did he probably just caught up in the Slytherin compartment I'll message him for you and find out"
" No don't Hermione I'm sure I'll see him at school"
Just then I heard voices one that sounded like Draco and the other I didn't recognize.
" Draco why are you going this way come and sit with us please" said the girl
" No I promised I would meet someone on the train and speak to them so no I won't come sit when I have plans"
I smiled and laughed at myself maybe Draco did mean what he said after all.
The compartment door opened and he came and sat next to me the girl stood at the door of our compartment.
" Is there a problem Pansy" asked Harry
" No I was just seeing what had gotten Draco in such a twist and now I see what that is a filthy stupid mudblood"
" Don't you dare call my cousin a mudblood she is not one and if Draco is interested in her what is it to you"
" Well he is supposed to be interested in me but no he isn't I just wanted to know why"
" Yeah well now you know so why don't leave us all alone Pansy or whatever your name is because Draco is here to speak to me"
I was quite shocked I had never spoken to anybody like that before but it made her leave and she slammed our compartment door shut and left with a huge grin on her face.
" Wow Lexi that was some temper you have there, you sure do take after Hermione for that" said Ron
Hermione looked at him and glared at him I laughed and started talking to Draco.
" So Lexi I'm sorry about that she thinks she is with me and I absolutely hate her but she doesn't give in I really like you and I hope that didn't put you off me"
" No of course it doesn't I really like you too I thought you had forgotten me and didn't mean what you said in diagon alley"
" No never Lexi I meant it if I didn't I wouldn't be here now with you"
I smiled and we got talking about everything and we realised we had a lot in common and I actually could see us dating in the near future.
The train suddenly stopped and I realised I hadn't changed into my uniform for the sorting ceremony.
" Lexi quick put your uniform on we are here, and I will show you to where you have to go now, but then I will have to go so I will see you at the castle"
" Okay thanks Hermione I'll see you soon Draco" I said as I kissed him on the cheek and blushed and left with Hermione so she could show me where to go.
