The Letter And Gifts

Disclaimer: Hell-o. See this word. 'Hello' should be a friendly gesture it sounds like 'Hell, oh!' Anyways I will quickly start the rituals.

'I solemnly swear that I am up to much good and I don't own any of the marvelous characters. They all are made with the skilful hand of Joanne Rowling. Mischief Managed.'

Dear Mum and Dad (It does sound weird!),

I hope all my siblings (James, Albus, and Lily) are reading this too,

I grew up in St. Peter's Orphanage and School for Girls. Its called a orphanage but only the most lucky orphans can go there. It has three wings. The West wing is The Infant Care and Kindergarten. The Middle wing is Junior School and Dormitories and the East wing is Senior School and Mistress Wards. I am in the Middle wing. I suppose it's lucky that I grew up in here, but people don't understand one thing. It is not my 'home'. I am so glad I have parents. It is a word almost unheard here.

I met Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur when Mam'zelle Denamour took us for a daily walk. There was a shop called 'The Golden Phoenix' which looked closed. I asked Mam'zelle 'Which shop is that?' She looked at me like I was saying that the moon fell over me. 'There is no shop here, dear Ria (That's my nickname!) I decided that I would go once she is not looking at me. For all my innocent appearance I do not pride myself as a lioness at heart for nothing.

I didn't see any fear before me. I only saw the mere wooden door between me and my kingdom of dreams.

I gave the door a push and went inside.

Inside was a beautiful inn. But I felt strange there so I turned to go out of the door, but lo and behold, the door was gone!

I felt like crying my heart out when I noticed a family before me. The woman and her older daughter were very beautiful and lady-like while the man and the smaller daughter were laughing and grinning and having fun. The boy was my age and though prim was grinning too.

I went to them and said

'Excuse me Sir, but will you help me? I saw this inn and had to come in. But I don't know how to go back.'

'What's your name?' the woman said kindly.

'Ariana Potter'

'Repeat that again' the woman said with an incredulous look on her face.

'Ariana Potter, daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter'.

'You are our niece' the man said joyfully

'But I thought that I don't have any relative in the world'

'Heck! Your parents are alive too. You have three more siblings, the oldest is the boyfriend of my second daughter Dominique.'- At this the red-haired girl blushed. 'Come on, I will talk to your guardian'.

I was shocked to see something was happening so fast but I had a warm and familiar feeling with them.

They first talked to Mam'zelle and then to Professor McGonagall. I had a tearful goodbye with my pals.

I will see you tomorrow.

Yours truly and lovable,

Ariana 'Bloom' Potter

P.S: I sent you one envelope and five boxes. Be sure to open them.

'Mum, first the envelope' Lily squeaked 'Sister would want to open it first'.

'

'Okay' Ginny laughed 'The whole family, what say?'

Four heads nodded.

Ginny opened the big heart shaped envelope to a picture.

'Uh… Mum' James said after picking up the picture 'You said she was cute –but she is a beauty!'

The whole family crowded together to look at it and gasps of 'ooh' and 'ahh' floated by.

On the picture was a tall girl. Her black curls danced around her face and her crystal bright green eyes twinkled. A dress of soft white satin embroidered with roses covered her perfect figure. Her slender legs seemed perfect for her ballerina flats. Her skin was rose white and her face shown in the sunlight with a mischievous grin on it (which Ginny identified she had seen on Harry's face often).

And to give the picture a perfect ending, she was balancing on a pole! In the corner a brown haired prim lady (which James guessed was Mam'zelle Denamour) was screaming her head off while a few girls were looking in awe.

'She is my sister!' James said 'You understand, she is my sister'

'We know Bighead' Albus said.' See the red box has my name on it!'

Harry handed it to Al who ripped it open only to scream with delight.

Inside was a miniature model of him. Everyone had been gifted a model of himself or herself.

'HEY!' Lily suddenly screamed 'Mum its 12:00 already! They would arrive at any moment now!'

A/N: Liked it? Any questions and I would readily answer them. I was thinking if you enjoy this story I will make a sequel, but that would only be possible after almost 15 more chapters!

Bye! Au Revoir! –Waves a white handkerchief-.
