Mary sat on her bed as she waited for a brand new day in the summer. She was excited that today her father decided to spend the whole time with his two daughters. Carolyn bounced right into Mary's room and flopped right on the mattress.

"I can't wait!" Carolyn yelled.

"Yeah, this is exciting," Mary said. "Daddy doesn't always do this."

"I know! What do you think we're going to do today?"

"I don't know. But I hope that it's going to be an exciting adventure!" Suddenly, the door squeaked opened. The two girls' father peered inside. "Are you two ready?" he asked them. The two girls smiled at each other and jumped right off the bed.

"What are we going to do today, Daddy?" Carolyn asked.

"Well, today I thought, why not go over to a few places that my daughters want to go to? So then I told myself, wow, that's a really great idea. So, where do you girls want to go?"

"Uh, I got nothing."

"Well, don't look at me!" Mary said. "Maybe we should go to Diagon Alley, you know, just to get our supplies."

"That's not a bad idea," Snape said. "All right, let's go." The two girls raced out of the room and into the car. Their father walked towards the car with a smile on his face and drove away.

"Come on, Harry!" Ron said to Harry as they waited for Hermione and Ginny in Diagon Alley. "This is going to be fun!"

"Right," Harry said sarcastically to his friend. "Like destroying the pub going to be fun. Do you have any idea what will happen if your mum catches us?"

"Oh, whatever you say, mate. Hey, you want to go to Fred and George's joke shop?"

"And waste my money on just a few jokes? Sorry, I'll be too busy not doing that."

"Suit yourself." Suddenly, Hermione and Ginny ran right into the pub. "Sorry we're late," Hermione said out of breath. "We caught up with an old friend."

"Who?" Ron asked.

"Malfoy," Ginny said to her brother.

"Not that rascal. We try to have a relaxing summer without him, and he comes along! I mean, he's a stupid, little..."

"What does he want this time?" Harry asked, interrupting Ron.

"He was just calling us names, that's all," Ginny said. Harry smiled and wrapped his arm around Ginny. After the Weasleys officially adopted Harry from the Dursleys, Harry realized that he was in love with Ginny. And Ginny fell right back. The two have been going out since.

Ron smiled and held Hermione's hand. For when Hermione's parents decided to stay at the Weasley's for a little while, the two realized their love for each other. They have been together since. "What should we do now?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know," Harry said. "Let's go. Maybe we'll find something." So the four walked out of the pub.

When the two sisters and their father walked into Diagon Alley, their father looked down at his pocket watch. "Sorry girls, but I have to leave right now," their father said. "But I promise to spend the rest of the day with you two, okay?"

"All right, Daddy," Carolyn said.

"Good then. I'll see you two in The Three Broomsticks in an hour, okay?"

"All right," Mary said. "Bye Daddy!" Their father smiled and waved goodbye to his daughters. When he was gone, the two girls looked around. "Let's see, we first have to get new text books," Mary said to her sister. "Let's go to Florish and Blots."

"Okay," Carolyn said. Carolyn grabbed her sister's hand to make sure they would stay together. As the two girls went into the book store to find their books, their nightmare had become. "Uh, Marry," Carolyn said while tapping on Mary's shoulder.

"Oh no," Mary said when she turned around. Malfoy was walking right towards them. "Hello, Mary," Malfloy said with a big grin on his face. "How are you doing on this evening?"

"Stop trying to sweet talk me," Mary said. "Get away from me, you idiot!"

"Ooh, a little back sassing, huh? I will get you, Mary."

"Leave her alone, Malfoy!" Carolyn said, standing in front of her sister.

"Cute, Mary. Your younger sister is standing up for you."

"Leave her out of this, Malfoy," Mary said.
"Why should I?" Malfoy raised his hand and slapped Carolyn right across the face. She fell right into a bookcase then on the floor with several books falling on her. "Carolyn!" Mary yelled running over to comfort her sister.

"Leave her alone, jerk!" Mary helped her sister up and hit Malfoy right in the face. He fell right to the floor and knocked his head on a wall. "Watch it, Louge!" Malfoy called. That's when the word haunted right back into Mary's head.

Louge. She hated that word more than anything else in the world, including Malfoy. She turned away and grabbed Carolyn's hand. "Come on, Carolyn," she said. "We can get our books later." The two girls left the store, leaving Malfoy on the ground.

The two girls sat in a table waiting for their father in The Three Broomsticks. Mary couldn't stop starring at the big red mark that Malfoy gave Carolyn across her cheek. "Hello, I don't think we've met," Mary heard a voice behind her.

Once she heard it, she recognized it. Harry's friend, Hermione. Mary turned around to see Harry, his two friends, and a girl who Mary recognized as Ron's sister (by the freckles and the red hair). "I'm Hermione Granger," Hermione said to Mary.

"Hello," Mary said. "My name is Mary." she couldn't decide about her last name. She was originally a Snape, but she was told to be a Louge. But her father said she could be Snape. She just didn't know. "This is my sister, Carolyn."

"Hello."

"Hi," Carolyn said quietly.

"I'm Ron Weasley," Ron said.

"I'm Harry Potter," Harry told Mary.

"And I'm Ron's sister, Ginny," Ginny said.

"Hi," Mary said. "My sister and I are waiting for our father."

"Really? Who is he?"

"Well..." Suddenly, Mary heard a voice. Her father was calling his two daughters. She was so relieved that he finally came. She was afraid that she would tell who her father was before it was too late. Mary and Carolyn jumped up from their seats.

"We'll see you in school," Carolyn said.
"All right," Harry said. "We'll see you later." Mary and Carolyn smiled at the four and ran over to their father. Snape smiled and wrapped his arms around both of his daughters. "My children," he said.

"Dad," the two girls complained. They looked back at Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. Ginny stared at the girls, Hermione gasped, Ron had a look of confusion on his face, and Harry was looking down on the floor.

Perfect, I meet new friends and they already hate me. Why does this always have to happen to me?
