"Dani, where were you!" Samantha questioned as she walked into the room. She had the worried look on her face as she looked at her best friend and soon enough Stephen walked in behind her and smiled.

"Sorry…" Danielle said as she nonchalantly shoved the letter under her pillow. She got up and stretched.

"What was that?" Samantha asked, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms, her own tank top and shorts standing out against her tan skin, it wasn't hard to tell that she spent time outside.

"Nothing, lets go." Danielle said as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail she put an arm around both her friends and walked out of the room. She smiled as she walked down the hall and in to the fairly large dining hall, she hugged her other friends and chatted, getting many happy birthdays. She noticed one of the care takers, Emily looking at her, almost staring. Danielle looked away and back to a conversation she was having.

Danielle couldn't keep her mind off that letter, she excused herself and walked out.

"So you got it.." Emily asked walking after her.

Danielle looked over, "Uhm…" she asked, a bit confused, "By 'it' you mean..?"

"Oh no! Not that! Your letter." Emily asked, a smile on her face.

"How do you…" Danielle started.

Emily looked around before leading her into a room and closing the door behind them. Danielle went and sat on a bed and Emily sat across from her on another bed, "Your Hogwarts letter." Emily stated.

"How do you know-" Danielle asked but was interrupted by Emily.

"I'm a witch. Listen, I can't tell you much because Dumbledore will explain more, but I was hired here to watch after you." Emily said taking Danielle's hands in hers .

"Wait…did you know my parents?" Danielle asked, a shimmer of hope in her eyes as she looked at the older woman.

Emily nodded, "Very well. But more of that when the time comes. I just want you to know that you should be very excited for this, Hogwarts is way better than this place."

Danielle smiled, "Thanks Miss. Emily." She said and hugged her.

"Don't be worried, everything will be alright." Emily said and let go.

Danielle nodded and got up and walked out and back to her friends.

The next couple months went by as slow as could be for Danielle. It was about 8:00 the morning of when someone shook her awake. "Huh?" she asked, still drunk with sleep. Danielle looked up and saw Emily, "Come on Dani, I want to introduce you to someone." She said. Danielle got out and slipped on some jeans over her boy shorts and followed Emily outside with a yawn and a light jacket that has been used to many times there were holes in the sleeves , she rubbed her eyes.

"Danielle, This is Hagrid." Emily introduced.

Danielle looked up but only met with a fairly large stomach, then looked up more and her eyes widened, "Wow." she whispered, awe struck.

"Nice to meet yah." Hagrid said, "We best be goin' time's a' wastin." Hagrid smiled.

"I'm not even dressed." Danielle said looking down at herself and moving a lock of hair out of her face. Emily rolled her eyes and looked around before taking out her wand and saying something incoherent and soon, Danielle looked ready to go.

Danielle shivered when the magic died down and looked at herself, "I could get used to this…" she said. She heard a low chuckle from Hagrid and saw the twinkle in his eyes.

"You look jus' like yer mother." He said.

"I know right!" Emily said with a smile, "I said that when I first saw her."

Danielle looked between them awkwardly.

"Good bye Miss. Emily," Hagrid said.

"Bye guys, have fun-oh wait!" Emily said and ran inside and came out a few minutes later with a shrunken down suitcase. And the letter in her hand

Danielle put it in her pocket awkwardly and looked at Hagrid.

"Come on now, I'll explain ev'rything on ter way." Hagrid said and started to walk.

"So.. Mr. Hagrid-" Danielle started after a few minutes of awkward silence, but she was cut off.

"Jus' call me Hagrid, none of this mister stuff, that was me father's name." Hagrid said.

"Okay..Hagrid…uhm, what do you do at Hogwarts?" she asked, holding the letter.

"Keeper of Keys…seems like only yesterday I was explaining all of this to yer-nevermind." Hagrid said.

"My…what?" Danielle asked.

"Nothing." Hagrid said, "Ah here we are!" he exclaimed, walking into some shabby bar that made Danielle cough with the smoke.

"Where are we?" Danielle asked, waving her hand in front of her nose.

"Ter Leaky Cauldron, ter only way to get to Diagon Alley." Hagrid said.

Danielle followed Hagrid out. He brought out a pink umbrella and tapped the brick wall. She bit her lip and looked around, kind of relieved that she was away from the smoke. Soon she heard noise and looked at the brick wall and her eyes widened again, she was soon looking at a bustling shopping center. She looked around just from the brick wall.

"Come on Danielle." Hagrid said and started to walk. Danielle followed closely, feeling out of place.

"Gringotts firs'." Hagrid said and started leading Danielle to a big white building.

Danielle ran a hand through her hair, and she thought that when she got the letter she had a head ache.

"Miss. Potter would like to make a withdrawl." Hagrid said to a goblin. Danielle watched carefully as the goblin looked over at her. She looked down and away, bashful. Hagrid handed her a key, "Follow Griphook, I can't take another ride down there." Hagrid said and Danielle took the key.

Danielle slowly followed the small goblin and got into the boat. She looked around at the doors going by. Soon enough, they ended at a door, "Vault 687." The goblin said and got out and Danielle handed him the key after holding the lamp. The door opened and Danielle gasped piles and piles of gold were all around with some bronze coins along with silver. She walked in and allowed the goblin to help her choose what she needed, after putting them in a small bag given to her by the goblin she attached it to her belt loop and walked to the boat, there they went back up.

Danielle went looking around for Hagrid, she saw him talking to a boy with messy jet black hair and circular glasses and the brightest green eyes she has ever seen. Danielle walked over.

"Ah, Danielle, this 'ere is Harry! Harry, this is Danielle, this will be her first year at Hogwarts!" Hagrid said.

"Nice to meet you Harry." Danielle said holding out her hand. Harry took it and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too." Harry said.

Suddenly, a girl with crazy brown hair walked up. "Harry! I just ran into the Weasleys, thank merlin we found you. Mrs. Weasley is dead worried…oh Hello. I'm Hermione Granger." The girl said.

"Danielle…Danielle Sanders." Danielle replied.

"Nice to meet you Danielle." Hermione said with a huge grin on her face.

"I need to finish up taking Danielle here aroun' and getting her school supplies, you are in good hands now Harry." Hagrid said with a nod.

"Bye Hagrid! See you later!" Harry said and ran off with Hermione into a book shop. "Actually, we need to go there, I wonder what the crowd is about." Hagrid said walking over. Danielle poked her head in and jumped up in order to attempt to see over the crowd. She started to walk theough and found a tall blonde man with handsome features boasting about his latest book. Danielle rolled her eyes, so there were airheads in the wizarding world. Danielle climbed up the stairs as she looked down. Harry was pulled as she looked closer at him, Harry Potter, why did that name seem to familiar to her.

Danielle sighed and closed her eyes and had the same vision that occurred over and over again, a flash of black light, a male cry of "Dani" and that was it. She opened her eyes as she gasped for air, she held her breath when that happened. Danielle pulled out her course book list as she nonchalantly looked back at him. It was normal for her to have that vision then get back to doing something, she recently started that habit.

Danielle looked back over and the crowd dispersed so she walked down the stairs and started to walk around, making her the scar was hidden, if Harry was famous for the same type of scar, then she better keep it hidden. Danielle moved her hair over her right shoulder and kept it there, hoping no one will notice her.
