1) I do not own the characters of the Harry Potter Series. The wonderful JK Rowling does, though. :)
2)Yes, this story will go against the theory of 'not being able to bring back the dead', but this is a fanfiction after all. I hope you have fun reading it!
CHAPTER ONE.
A NEW BEGINNING
"Are you sure it's safe to go back?'
Blaire gave her wand a final wave at her luggage before turning to face the lady outside her bedroom door. She smiled as the fifty-four year old blonde lady sat on her bed. She tugged the ends of her dark olive green t-shirt down and sat next to her.
"Yes Mum. Don't worry too much." Blaire said and gave the lady a reassuring smile as she tucked some loose hair behind her ear.
"Honestly, I would have never thought you would ever go back to your former school to teach. I'm surprised it's still opened. Wasn't it damaged after the war?" Mary Rivers said to Blaire. She took a good look at Blaire. "Are you sure he is dead?" she whispered.
Despite herself, Blaire managed a chuckle. "Yes...Voldemort is dead. Remember Harry Potter, the boy I was telling you about?" Blaire said and Mary nodded. "He killed Voldemort. Anyway, the school is back to normal. Magic does make the rebuilding process faster." She continued and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Mary stiffened a little. "Anyway, you don't have to worry. I've magically enhanced my mobile phone so you can call me." Blaire grinned and waved her mobile phone in front of Mary's face that seemed to relax.
"Good, just take good care of you. You barely made it alive in the war." Mary said grimly.
Blaire gave a weak smile. She decided it was not a good time to explain to Mary that she had died once during the battle of Hogwarts, and was somehow "reborn".
"I cannot go through the pain and worry of having one of my children running off to fight a war again. You have no idea how worried I was." Mary frowned and Blaire quickly gave her a hug.
"Thanks Mum, for everything." Blaire said softly. "Thank you for taking care of me for nineteen years."
Mary sighed. "Blaire, you are like my own daughter. I love you as much as I love Brian."
Truth was Blaire was not Mary's actual daughter. Mary and her husband Jack adopted Blaire when she was two. Mary, Jack and Brian, their son, were her adopted family. Blaire's mother abandoned her when she was two and since the Rivers. She recently heard news that her biological mother had passed away but she had heard no news of her biological father. She barely knew her actual parents, except that her dad was an abusive alcoholic who left her and her mother when she was born and her mother abandoned her at a park. Her mother had abandoned her for two reasons. One, she could not afford to take care of Blaire, and two, she thought Blaire was a freak. Blaire was not a freak. She was in fact, a witch. When Mary took Blaire under her care, she did not know that, and they were kind enough not to throw her out when she started doing strange things. Only when Blaire turned eleven, did she receive a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everybody was shocked but Blaire was excited. Thankfully Jack and Brian were supportive. Mary was too although it was obvious that she was uncomfortable with magic, but Blaire did not take this to heart.
There was a knock on the door and Blaire jumped up. "That must be Hagrid." She said and left her room to answer the door.
A large half- giant with a bushy beard greeted her. "'Ello Blaire!" Hagrid greeted her with a smile.
"Hello Hagrid!" said Blaire as she tip-toed to give Hagrid a hug. "Come in." she took a few steps back to let Hagrid in her house. Hagrid smiled at her family who were behind her, watching. "Oh, Hagrid. Meet my family. This is my mother, Mary. My father, Jack and my brother, Brian." Hagrid greeted them before following her to her room to get her luggage.
"Come on Tigger!" Blaire whispered to her ginger cat that was lying lazily on one of her luggage and carried him off it. "That's pretty much my stuff." She turned to Hagrid. "Are you sure you're not coming to the Weasley's too?" she asked.
"Nope." Said Hagrid as he carried her things with ease. "There are too many things to do at school. I'll see you at school." He winked at her and waved to her family before leaving.
"Who was that?" asked Brian who was watching Hagrid with amazement as she put Tigger into his cage.
"Hagrid. The Care of Magical Creatures Professor." Blaire said as she gave him a hug before giving Jack and Mary a kiss on their cheeks.
"Take care! Don't give the Headmaster too much trouble!" said Jack and Mary made her promise to call them once she had reached the school.
Blaire laughed. "I will and for goodness sake Dad, I'm going back as a professor!" she grinned before giving her family a final wave as she went off to the Weasley's Burrow.
