A/N: Sorry for the bit of a wait... finals. Anyways...

Disclaimer: Doesn't that word say it all...

"Yes wow, but that's not all, because he assumed you dead, you never got your letter, which would have rescued you from at least the last 4 years of your life" She said.

"So now what, do I go to school with the other wizards, and wait… once you figured this out why didn't you just come and get me?" I said slightly angry again.

"Because we couldn't, it seems that the group home they sent you too, was a private one, they send children away to other places"

"They didn't send me to another place, I moved in with a family-"

"A family that moved to Spain correct?"

"Oh… yeah, but still"

"Well by the time, he managed to find you, which wasn't long he's a very accomplished wizard, school had been already in session 4 months. To bring you in didn't seem like a good idea."

"Ok but what about the next school year?"

"He tried, but you didn't want to go"

"What, I- I… wait, my parents asked if I wanted to go to boarding school once, but I said no, they said it seemed I had been accepted to a school"

"Yes Hogwarts"

"Hogwarts?"

"Hogwarts, headed by the same wizard who thought you dead and then helped find you"

"How did he know to find me?"

"I told him, and let me tell you Dumbledore was not pleased when he found out"

"Dumbledore, that's the guys' name?"

"Yes and like I said before he's probably the greatest wizard living. So I told him, and then he invited you, but said that you had declined"

"I didn't know, they just said 'boarding school' and I said no"

"Didn't you see your Hogwarts letter?"

"No, they waved it at me, but I really wasn't interested"

"So you only have yourself to blame."

"I guess, but why didn't this Dumbledore person come get me himself, I was a… well this type of thing doesn't happen often does it?"

"No I don't think so"

"Then I had to be an exceptional case, he should've come to get me"

"Yes I would have to agree, in act, I'm surprised he didn't, unless he did"

"But you just said"

"Well this was 2 years ago now, I sent him an owl, to find out what happened, but he said you declined, I'm just now hearing the fact that he didn't do it from you. I assumed he did. Are you sure he didn't attempt to visit and you just didn't see him."

"Well they didn't tell me anyone visited"

"I don't know, but that's why you didn't get you're letter, and that's why all those things happened to you, and you declining Hogwarts is why you're not there"

"Ok so you said you know something about my parents, or at least one of them?"

"Yes, but now that I've found you and learned all this I think it might be better if you saw Dumbledore yourself"

"Why?"

"Because he should be the one to tell you, and I'm not entirely sure my assumption is correct"

"So then when can I see him?"

"As soon as he can see you I would assume"

"So let's get a stamp and-"

"We need an owl"

"Yeah I heard you say something about an owl earlier I thought it was just another phrase for mail"

"Oh no, in the wizarding world we send owls to deliver our mail"

"I can see there's a lot I'll have to learn."

"Yes, so where are you supposed to be staying so I can come get you, when-"

"Oh no, now that I know about this new world, I never want to step foot in this world again if I can help it, I'm staying with you"

"Easy, just calm down, was someone supposed to meet you here?"

"Oops, they were, I wonder if they're worried?"

"Let's find them, I can't just take you away people will be looking for you"

"Can't you just make them forget?"

"No, no abusing your gift"

"Yeah, Yeah"

We got up and started to look around, after 5 minutes or so of searching we found a woman who looked a little relieved to see me.

"Oh thank goodness, I got here terribly late, and didn't know whether you'd decided to leave off on your own, they told me that you… well that you're an independent type"

"Independent is it what they're calling me now is it?"

"Hi, yes my name is Ashley, and I just happened to run into Siriusly here, I met her back when she was 11, and was delighted to see her, I was just wondering, because she wasn't sure herself you see, where she would be staying, so that I might be able to visit?"

"Oh, well we don't usually allow visitors at this center"

"Why?"

"Well it's just… it's a place where kids learn to start acting right"

"What do you mean, aren't I going to, The Delaney Group Home?"

"Actually, well…"

"Well what?"

"I'll explain on the way, just come along, and don't make things difficult"

"No, where are you taking me?"

"I'd like to know that myself"

"Well seeing as you're not this child's guardian, I don't have to tell you anything, Good Day to you"

The lady tried to grab my arm, and pull me away. What I wouldn't have given for a wand. Ash tried t stop her, but she started trying to make a scene. Well I thought two can play that game. I started acting like she was a kidnapper. The train station security came and asked what the problem was. I tried to spin a story of kidnapping, but she had papers on me with my name and everything. But by now Ash was furious, she told them to call the police then, just to be sure, because she was going to get the papers she had for me out her car. I was confused. So were the security guards. They took me and the lady to a holding cell. Ash comes back 5 minutes later with papers, and I saw that out of focus look in the security guards face as soon as he started reading. He said that Ash's papers were official and I was free to go with her. The crazy lady went off, she demanded to see the papers, and Ash showed her and her eyes did the same. She consented and said then maybe I have the wrong person, and left without another word.

We laughed the whole way to her car, she told me that she really shouldn't have done that, but Dumbledore would fix it. As we drove off, I just relaxed and thought about my new found past. 'Magic' is all I could say to myself. When we arrived at her house I remembered that I was about to see one of my old homes.

"Do the Perkins still live next door?"

"Yes, but hopefully they won't be paying attention"

"And what about Daniel is he still around?"

"Actually I wasn't here when it happened, but I heard he got sent to jail"

"For what?"

"For trying to assault a minor… or that's what it got pulled down too."

"What do you mean pulled down?"

"Mrs. Smalls, who lives up the way said he really got caught trying to rape a girl"

"I'm not surprised"

"I'm sure your not"

We pulled up to the house, she checked to make sure it seemed no one was looking, and I headed inside her house. It was just the way I remembered. And that's where I am now. As soon as she got me situated, she wrote this guy Dumbledore a letter and, get this, went and retrieved her owl to send the letter. She wasn't playing. It was my turn to laugh when I saw it actually take flight.

"You still have that same bark like laugh, hun?"

"Yeah, and I don't think it's going anywhere either"

So I'm awaiting the response, awaiting to find out what lies ahead, and awaiting a chance at a life that can't be worse than my previous one. I fall asleep thinking better dreams for tomorrow.
