Potter's
Harry's house was rather small, and standing outside I had know idea how 6 people are meant to fit. But then I remembered, MAGIC! Sometimes I wonder if I'm stupid.
"Welcome to your new home Roxanne Potter." Harry put a hand on my shoulder.
"Potter?" I asked puzzled, pulling away.
"Uh…Well…yes since your starting Hogwarts in a few days well…most people will want to know about your blood. Your answer is this, Your Roxanne potter, you just recently found out that you father is harry potter, me. After thinking yourself an orphan for 10 years."
"Why cant I say, I'm Roxanne Weasley, my dad is George Weasley?"
"Um…it's complicated…" Ginny added opening the front door and unleashing a blinding flash of light into the dark street.
I looked at my uncle plainly. "Complicated?" I asked false Curiously.
"Yes, too complicated, now get yourself inside." He ended the conversation there and nudged me towards the door. I hate it when adults treat me like I cant know stuff because its 'To complicated!' Your talking to the girl who came up with the cure to dragon pox for goodness sake!
The inside of the house was a lot bigger than I expected. Like A LOT bigger. The walls where as far apart as a mansion!
"Your room is upstairs on the 4th floor, Look I'll show you!" Lily beamed, tugging my shirt.
"Where you expecting me or something?" I joked, But Ginny and harry shared a fearful look, which wasn't exactly reassuring.
I followed Lily Up to the 4th floor, and on the second door to the right, was a small room, which on the door said; 'Guest'.
Inside were a bed and a desk, nothing special, just the way I like it. I placed my school trunk on the bed and started unpacking.
"Can I hide in your trunk and come with you?" Lily pleaded.
"Go where? Hogwarts? I'm afraid not lily." I took out my black Hogwarts, 'before sorted' tie and placed it on the desk, with my diary and locket.
"Not Hogwarts silly! The ministry, dad said you and him where leaving tomorrow!" she explained.
"Did he now? Well, I see. Sorry but could I un-pack alone for a while please?" Lily skipped out of the room and left me in silence.
Why was I going to London? Why did I have to pretend I'm a potter? It just doesn't make sense!
Just then, Albus creaked the door open and walked in.
"Ever heard of Knocking?" I whispered.
"Roxy, I know dad and you are up to something! What are you doing?" He shouted confidently.
"I honestly don't know Al-"
"Tell me! I deserve to know too!"
"Yes I know but I don't-"
"Dad is never this worried! Have you done something stupid?"
"NO!" I started losing my temper at my cousin, "NO, I'M NOT UP TO ANYTHING BECAUSE NO ONE WILL TELL ME ANYTHING!" I shouted throwing my herbology book on the floor and staring daggers at Albus. He squirmed a bit and ran out of the room.
I wasn't alone for long though, because soon after, James stuck his head round the door.
"What's going on in here? Sounds like an elephant playing a trumpet…but badly." He said, making a trumpet out of his fingers and blowing hard.
"Erg, what do you want James?" I sneered.
"Uh, Dinners ready…" He quickly exited the room and slammed the door behind him. Finally…silence…
My stomach rumbled, I hadn't eaten since breakfast (I often skip lunch)
I quickly picked up the now bedraggled herbology book and placed it back onto my desk before slipping out of the room.
The Potters all sat at the table, waiting, I guess for me. "So, how's your room?" Ginny asked, starting up a conversation.
"Fine."
"Um…Roxy…" Harry began, "Were taking a 2 day trip into London tomorrow…Just the 2 of us, do you mind packing a few things again?"
"No, I'll do it after dinner." I barely touched the food I had in front of me…I missed the stodgy pasta we used to have on a Friday night back at the shop, and I missed Dads terrible jokes at the table…Here its just too, intense.
"Have you got all of your school stuff?" Ginny asked.
"Yes."
"Well, I thought that when you come back from the min…London, we could go back to diagon ally and say hi to your parents?"
"Ok…" Inside I was really quite happy about that, but I didn't feel like showing it.
After I finished my last mouthful, I ran back up the stairs and into my room, to re-pack.
I wonder why I have to go to the ministry…Probably to get the school records changed to Roxy Potter…Even though I don't see the point.
The Gemstone in the middle of my locket started glowing, Red and bright. I picked it up and inspected it. As soon as I touched the Red jewel, a burning sensation coursed through my fingers, and The Whole thing burst into flames. I panicked and dropped the Locket, sending the carpet up in flames.
What was that water spell! Think Roxy think!
"AQUAMENTI!" Where was my wand? Oh no!
Suddenly water emerged from the carpet soaking up the flames, and extinguishing the fire. Wand less magic? We aren't meant to do that till 4th year!
The door burst open, and Harry came stumbling into the room.
"I SMELL SMOKE!" He shouted, looking frantically around. The carpet had now completely dried, and there was no evidence of fire, or water.
"Must have been James' room." I lied. I wonder why the locket had set on fire. Wait, Where is the locket!
I searched for any sign it had burned but none came, it had vanished.
