A/N: Hello all! I meant to post this over a weekend but I got invited to go bowling with friends, which but the way I am terrible at bowling. Thank you for those who reviewed the first chapter (cc4s), and please read and review! Also, you may have noticed that the first chapter was in third person and this is in first that was on purpose. I did it that way to kind of get an overview at first but now you get inside Melanie's head. I apologize for Hagrid if he seems kind of OOC. I'm having a harder time writing him than I thought. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything to do with it. I a merely a humble subject to our magnificent queen J.K. Rowling.

Chapter 2

I briskly walked back to my house every couple of steps glancing back over my shoulder to see Hagrid stubbing behind me. Maybe this is all just a crazy dream I thought and I a couple of minutes I will just wake up. I arrived at my house and just stared at the door till Hagrid nudged me to go in.

"Dad?" I hesitantly called out.

"Yes sweetie," a voice drifted from somewhere in the house.

"Can you come here for a minute? There this guy, I think he's a guy, that says his name is Ha-" I started.

"Oh no. It's time." My dad gasped walking into the room.

"I'm afraid so." Hagrid replied solemnly.

"Wait, you two know each other?" I questioned.

"Sweetie, there is something I need to talk to you about," my dad started. "You see I have not been that honest with you. I meet Hagrid years ago about the same time you were born. Your mother and I met when she was 16 and we were both on family vacations. She was truly special and went on to become on of my best friends. She shared all of her secrets with me, even ones she had never told anyone else. The most shocking one came when we were 20. She called me up one night to meet her at her flat in London where she was living at the time. This was the night that she first told me she was pregnant with you-" I gasp " but that wasn't the biggest secret. She also told me that she was a witch." I gasp again " She told me about her family and how one of her two sisters was also a witch and they went to the same school while her other sister shunned and detested them. She told me about her sister that was also a witch, that had just found out she was pregnant too. She told me about the war happening in the wizarding world and how it was not safe for her or for you. That night she called me there to ask if anything would happen to her or her husband that I would take care of you-" I gasp " Will you quit gasping! Now back to the story, of course I told her that everything would be ok and that she needn't worry. However, she was relentless and I agreed. A little over a year later I woke up one morning with you on my doorstep. Immediately I knew what had happened and so I took you in and raised you as my own." He concluded.

"So what you are telling me is that my mom was a witch, she had one sister who was a witch and one that was not, I have a cousin somewhere, both my mom and her husband died, you are not really my father, and that I am a witch?" I asked in disbelief.

" Yes."

"Well this is quite a shock. Why then haven't I ever met my mom's family?"

" Lily, the sister who was a witch, and her husband James were both killed Voldemort, only their son Harry survived," I noticed Hagrid cringed at the strange name, "as for her other sister, Petunia, I was told never to bring you to her. She is a nasty, prejudice, and vial woman. You wouldn't to meet her." At this Hagrid was nodding in agreement, obviously they had meet.

"Who is my real dad then?"

"Can't say," my 'dad 'replied, "never met him and your mother never told me his name. I assumed he had died to when you were sent to me."

"So I lost both parents, my aunt, and uncle to this 'Voldemort' thingy. Well then where is this cousin of mine?"

"Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry," this time Hagrid spoke up.

"Is that one of the reasons you want me to go there?" I asked.

"Yes and no," my 'dad' replied. "A few weeks after you were sent to me Hagrid brought me this letter partially explaining what happened. Your mother had been murdered shortly before her sister. The letter also explained that this so called Dark Lord had perished that night. My instructions were to get you as far away from London as I could, that is why we moved to the U.S. Also, you would not know about any of this unless there was another major threat in the wizarding world. That is as much as I know."

"What he says is true, I knew you mother, aunt, and uncle quite well. We suffered such a terrible loss that day. I personally came to take Harry to school, just the same as I am doing now. " Hagrid said.

"I guess since that I really don't have any say in the matter," my 'dad' and Hagrid both shook their heads 'no', " I'm going to Hogwarts."
