Author's note: Still don't own Harry Potter, still haven't read Cursed Child. The next two chapters are flashbacks to before the two girls met. If you ever have trouble pronouncing something, like a name, drop me a note and I'll make sure to let you know.

Pre-Hogwarts

Chapter 2

October, 1985

Leilani was 7-years-old and her dad was supposed to pick her up from school today. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and she was sitting on the steps in front of her school and her dad was late. He was never late, and it made her nervous. What if something had happened? Kanani was sick today, what if she'd gotten worse? Or what if her dad had been in an accident? She should call him, but she didn't have any money for a payphone. Suddenly, she spotted a boy on the bleachers, probably about her sister's age playing with a coin. Leilani stood and walked over to him and his friend. "Do you have money for a payphone?" she asked.

The boy tucked his hand into his coat pocket and said, "No."

"I need to call my dad, he's supposed to come get me, but he's late. I saw the coin you were playing with, can I use it to call my dad?"

"I don't have anything," the boy said. Leilani had a temper, a temper that was made worse when she was nervous. That temper flared and out of frustration and annoyance Leilani took the heavy hardback book in her arms and smacked the boy, hitting him in the head- a feat made possible by the fact that he was sitting down, thus bringing him down to her level. Leilani stomped back over to her book-bag and sat down with a huff. Twenty minutes later, her parents pulled up in the car and Leilani ran to it, throwing her things in the trunk and climbing in beside her sister-Kanani was evidently feeling better-in the back seat.

"Sorry we're late, Sweets," her dad apologized.

"Your dad had a fight with his car, it wouldn't start and he tried to fix it. With Magic," her mom explained with a wry grin. Leilani laughed, her nerves and temper calming. Of course her dad had tried to fix the car, and had probably broken it in the process. Leilani's dad was a technology challenged, pure blood wizard named Aloiki Akina. He had met her mom, Jessica-a muggle-, when he'd moved to England from Hawaii thirteen years ago.
