Ari's POV
Right so where was I in this story? Oh yeah were at the Leaky Cauldron right now! Anyways so after I had slept like the dead (Sorry that was a bad pun) I woke up to a tapping on my window from a tawny owl. So, I got up and for the first time in like 55 years, I tried walking. At least I took one step and my legs wobbled and I fell right over. "Ow." I muttered as I got back up and shakenly made my way to the window. After grabbing the letter and paying the owl, I stepped back into the room and stared at my reflection in the full length mirror that hung on my wall and let out a gasp- I looked exactly like I had when I died at 15 in 1963! I still had my long straight dark brown hair and my sea green eyes, along with my tanned olive skin. After getting over the initial shock that I wasn't in that place downstairs, I looked into the hotel room's closet and saw that there was options of clothes for me to wear. But the problem was these clothes were weird- they weren't like the long skirts and pretty dresses I had worn in 1948, nope these clothes looked like something a man would wear with tight skinny jeans and different kinds of long sleeved shirts. Sighing to myself, I picked out denim blue pair of skinny jeans and a black and white striped long sleeve along with some black converse. So, after getting ready and deciding to leave my straight hair down and brushing my teeth, I read the letter which came from the Albus Dumbledore man. The letter went something like this:
Dear Ms. Ariana,
My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am the headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am aware of the fact that you once went there until you died tragically in your 5th year so I thought that maybe I could harness enough magic and raise you from the dead, so that way you could have a second chance in life. Anyways, the amount of magic that I had summoned had been so powerful that I could actually communicate with the dead, hence the reason why a patronus charm had received you. So, I brought you up here not only for you to have a second try at your life, but also so you can finish Hogwarts and look after Harry Potter, the boy who defeated Voldemort, a dark wizard. I know that you were sorted into Gryffindor before your death so you will still be in Gryffindor and since there is a Ministry worker coming to Hogwarts as a new defense teacher, Harry will be in danger from the constant threat from the ministry, as he is the only one who saw Voldemort return last year. Anyways, that is really the only information you need and that know that the book list for this year is enclosed as well. I know that you will be a little rusty at magic so I will collect you in three days and you can practice magic here at Hogwarts.
Well good luck,
Albus Dumbledore
After reading this letter I felt a little annoyed with the Headmaster because he had been so vague about almost everything. Questions swirled in my head such as "Why is the ministry a threat?" and "Who's this Voldemort guy?" and "Who's Harry Potter and what makes him so special?" I sighed and tried to put these questions out of my head and instead looked at the booklist for the fifth year. I had assumed that I had a schedule made for me already and that hopefully it was based off my past marks because I had always done good in school. After reading over the booklist I decided to head downstairs into the tavern, get some breakfast and head to Diagon Alley if that was still here.
…
"Hey watch it!" A wizard yelled as he shoved past me into Gringotts. I stared open-mouthed at him until I realized that this was 2003 and that the manners here would be different. After going to my Gringotts vault (I had gotten some strange looks from the goblins as I said my name) and handing the Goblins my letter to show that it was the real me, I walked around Diagon Alley which was the same way it had been when I had died. Seeing all the shops, I made sure to get my robes and my supplies that I needed before I got myself something extra like ice cream or a new broom. I smiled to myself- Man, had I missed quidditch. Anyways I was walking around outside and enjoying the sun shine when I caught sight of three people- One was a boy with red hair, another was a boy that was cute in a scruffy sort of way with jet-black hair and green eyes, and the third person was a girl with curly brown hair and tan skin. They all looked about my age so I went up to them and asked "Hey! Do you know where I can get some ice cream? I'm new here and don't really know my way around." I cringed at my lack of manners. The boy with the black hair smiled at me and said "well we were going to get some ice cream too so you can just come with us and join us for it." "Okay cool." I said. Man this lingo from this year is hard. So we all walked to ice cream and I introduced myself saying "Hi, my name is Ariana Chance!" turning towards the boy with the black hair I raised one eyebrow and prompted saying "And you are?" "I'm Harry Potter this is Hermione Granger he said gesturing towards the girl, and this is- ""How are you doing that with your eyebrow?" the red haired boy interrupted. I let out a laugh and said in a serious voice "Pure skill." "And this is Ron Weasly." Came Harry's introduction of Ron. "Well it's nice to meet you guys." I said with a warm smile. "Anyways I'm a fifth year and- ""Hey you're in our year!" this time Harry interrupted me and Hermione just gave him a stern look and said "Sorry about him he has no manners." "It's all good." I said with a laugh. As we neared the Ice cream shop, we all sat together and talked for at least two hours. Turns out, Hermione was just as into school as I was and when we started talking about Arithmacy, both the boys rolled their eyes and groaned saying "Great we have another one memorizes their textbooks." "Looking at the time I said "Oh my I really have to go!" All three of them just gave me a strange look but didn't let me leave until I promised to write. Smiling to myself I said yes and walked to the leaky cauldron and for the first time in a while, I was happy.
