This is unbeta'd

May 15th 1991

"Gaia!" yelled Keely. She had just given her cat a bath and was now chasing a wet cat around her room in her nightgown.

Keely had turned into a beautiful little girl. She had bright red hair that fell in loose, natural waves down to her waist, deep green, almond-shaped eyes with long dark eyelashes and beautiful porcelain skin with naturally rosy cheeks. She was slender and slightly short for her age at 4'5 ft (121cm).

"Get back here Gaia!" she continued to chase her cat around the room, nearly hitting her head as Gaia jumped on the dresser.

"Oh, come on Gaia! Please come down!" Just as Gaia was jumping down from the dresser in another attempt at escaping, Keely jumped up and caught the wet feline in mid flight.

Keely laughed as Gaia struggled in her arms and made her way to the bed where she picked up a towel and began to dry her off.

"See, that wasnt so bad" she said after thoroughly drying Gaia off. It might have only been her imagination but she could have sworn that Gaia glared at her.

She set the cat down on the bed and went over to her walk in closet. The closet was probably her favourite feature of her room. Her room was right next to Dudley and was a reasonable size. It was decorated mainly with pastel green with lilac accents.

She got dressed in a white button up blouse, a light blue plaid and pleated skirt, white stocking and black leather mary janes. She did her wavy red hair in loose pig-tails tied with thin light blue ribbons. She quickly put on some silver studs and the silver locket her parents had sent her for her birthday last year.

She had never met her parents. She had only ever gotten a few letters a year. All she knew about them was that their names were Lily and James Potter, they lived with her twin brother, were well off and were teachers at some boarding school in Scotland. They sent her auntie and uncle monthly checks for her care (most of which went into a trust fund her auntie and uncle had set up for her) and they always sent gifts for her birthday and Christmas (usually expensive ones).

Keely looked at herself in the mirror and did a little twirl.

"Done" she said to herself before picking up Gaia and heading downstairs to the kitchen.

"Good morning everyone" She said. He uncle looked up from his newspaper.

"Morning pumpkin"

"Morning Kiki" said her cousin Dudley. At 14 years of age Dudley wasn't as chubby as he used to be. During his second year at Smelting he had taken up boxing and it had really helped him to slim up and even buff up a bit. he wasn't classically handsome but his blue eyes and blonde hair gave his some points in the looks department.

Her auntie Petunia walked in and set down a plate of bacon.

"Good morning sweetheart" she greeted. "Could you get the mail for me?"

"Sure auntie" She got up from where she had sat down at the table and headed over to the front door. She picked up the mail from the floor mat and looked through it finding a heavy looking letter with curly green handwriting.

Keely Potter

The Second Bedroom on the Left

4th Privet Drive

Little Winging

Surrey

She looked at the letter as she walked back into the kitchen handing her auntie the mail all except for the letter with green handwriting.

"here's the mail Auntie" she said.

"What have you got there pumpkin?" asked her auntie Petunia, noticing the letter in her hands.

"A Letter"

"From who" she asked.

"I don't know, but the send to address is written in this weird bright green ink and has a weird wax seal with an H on it." upon hearing this She noticed that both her auntie and uncle had gone very pale.

"Let me see" demanded her Auntie Petunia, extending her hand out for the letter. Keely obeyed and handed over the letter to her auntie who stared at it wide eyed and seemed to pale even more if that was even possible. A few moments passed before she sighed.

"Sit down Keely, there are a few things you need to know."

Keely sat down and looked at her auntie and uncle with a confused stare.

"There are a few things you need to know about yourself and your parents before you read that letter" started her auntie Petunia.

"Are you sure Petunia?" her uncle Vernon interrupted. "Does she really need to know?"

"She deserves to know where she's from Vernon!"

"But-"

"No buts Vernon!" said her auntie, effectively shutting her uncle up. Dudley watched on half amused at his father and half curious as to what this had to do to his little cousin.

"If I may" interrupted Keely "What is going on?" Petunia sighed

"It's a long story sweetheart. When I was a child your mother and I were very close. You couldn't find a pair of sisters closer than us, but when I was thirteen and right before you mother's eleventh birthday she received a letter and that letter tore us apart forever." She looked directly at Keely and tears welled up in her eyes "That letter was from a special school, a school for witches and wizards. your mother and father are both wizards Keely."

Dudley dropped his fork in surprise at what his mother had said while his parents held their breath waiting for her reaction, only it was what they though it would be. She laughed.

"Oh that's brilliant auntie Petunia. Did Dudley put you up to this?" she kept on laughing until she saw the looks on her auntie and uncle's faces. "this is a joke right? It can't be true? you've always, ALWAYS, told me that magic doesn't exist!that witches and wizards were nothing but fairy tales! that they don't exist! Do you honestly expect me to believe this load of nonsense? That my parents are wizards that live in some fairy tale land with other magical people? what would that make me? Their non-magical off spring? Is that why they abandoned me? because I wasn't magical? Why didn't you tell me!" Keely was quickly getting worked up and her eyes were welling up with supressed tears. It broke Petunias heart.

"Keely, sweetheart, please don't be mad, we didn't tell you because-"

"Because what! What reason could you possibly have for not telling me something like this! Why wat until now? Why wait for that letter? Why not before?" the last bit she said no longer shouting but at a whisper as tears started falling. He cousin Dudley quickly got up and put his arm around her trying to console her.

"sweetie, please don't cry" she said, kneeling in front of her niece and wiping the tears off her face. "It's not what you think. We didn't tell you at first because you were to young but once you were old enough we were afraid of loosing you"

"You could never loose me auntie" her auntie shook her head.

"You don't understand, when your mother received that letter we were ripped apart. We hardly spoke properly again"

"But what does that have to do with this?" Keely asked.

"Oh my sweet little girl, don't you understand? The letter your mother received all those years ago is the same one I'm holding in my hands"

Keely was in shock. She looked at the letter still in her aunties grasp before looking at her in shock, realization dawning on her. "you mean..." she started hopefully

"There's only one way to find out"she said handing Keely the letter. Keely looked her auntie in the eyes before turning it over and gently breaking the seal. from inside of the letter she removed heavy, old looking paper. She read aloud:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

(Order of Merlin first class, Gran Sorc, Chf. Worlock, Supreme Mugwump, international confed of wizards)

Dear Miss. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1st. We await your owl no later than July 31st.

Your's Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress.

Keely looked at the second and third pages finding a list of books, equipment and another of subjects and professors.

"Does this mean?" she asked, looking at her auntie.

"Yes" said her auntie Petunia, slightly choked up "You're a witch Keely"

"Does this mean I'll finally meet my parents?" she asked

"Why don't you look at the list of professors" Keely looked a bit confused but complied.

"Astronomy- Professor Sinistra, Divination- Professor Trewaley, Charms- Professor L. Po...tter..." she looked up, shocked "You mean my mother is going to teach me charms?, my MOTHER is going to be my PROFESSOR!"

"If I remember correctly your father should be on there as well" Keely scanned the paper quickly finding him.

"He teaches transfiguration!"

"Looks like you're finally going to meet your parents and your brother"

"Wait! my brother!"

"Well I would assume, you are twins" Keely shook her head.

"Sorry, I'm a bit scattered, of course he's going" Keely kept asking question after question (her cousin Dudley was amused since she was normally so composed) until her auntie finally stopped her.

"Sweetheart, this will be a lot easier to understand once we get your school supplies at Diagon Alley"

Whats Diagon Alley?" she asked

"I believe that it's their shopping center"

"They-"

"No more questions Keely, they'll all be answered once you get you're school supplies"

"When can we go get them?"

"How about on your birthday in a few weeks?"

"But that's so far away!"

"Take it or leave it love"

"Fine" she pouted.

"Now, how about we finally have breakfast"

They all finally started to eat (or eat more in Dudley's case) but Keely wasnt really focused on the bacon and eggs on her plate but instead her mind was immersed in thoughts of witches and wizards. She wondered if she could tell her best friend Annie about this?

Thanks for reading :) feel free to review and feel free to leave any pointers about anything I missed.
