Chapter 4: A whole new beginning:
I was walking in the middle of some kind of a street that I had never seen in my life. All the houses around me looked the same. On my right there is large sign writing on it 'Welcome to Privet Drive'. I must be in a muggle place, because I have never heard of a magical street with that name. I kept on walking until I stopped at house number 4. Strange, why the hell did I specifically stop at this house? And why do I feel so strange? Just to think of it, what the BLOODY HELL am I doing at a muggle street? Subconsciously, I started walking towards the house and knocked on the front door.
The door was answered by a boy with a messy jet-black hair. He had the same green eyes and the lightning shaped scar on his forehead as I did. He, also, looked the same age as me. I felt some kind of connection between me and this strange boy, it feels like I have met him before… weird…
I opened my mouth to say something to him, but I heard voices shouting 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' in my ears.
I opened my eyes, startled, and sat up fast and straight on my bed. I heard laughter next to me and looked to find two boys laughing their butts off at me. One of them was pale with blond hair and grey eyes while the other was tall and had blackish spiked hair and brown eyes. They were none other than my two best friends; Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini.
Oh… I'm Hillary Potter by the way, but my friends call me Hil or Hilly. I live at a famous school called 'Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry' Albus Dumbledore is its headmaster. He was kind enough to take care of me after Lord Voldemort Murdered my parents.
Anyway, I'm staying here at my best friend's house Draco for the summer. Then at the last week before school, I'm going back to Hogwarts.
"It's not funny", I screamed at them.
"It's hilarious', laughed Blaise.
"Stop laughing you bloody jerks", I yelled.
Finally, Draco managed to control his laughter and gave me his goofy grin, "happy 11th birthday Hillary". I smiled at him, "thanks, Draco"
Blaise on the other hand was on the floor laughing like a mad man with tears falling from his eyes. I shook my head at him in pity.
"Sorry 'bout the scare," Draco said, "I really didn't mean to scare you like that".
"Don't worry about t, Fred and George always do that to me", I said.
Blaise finally stopped laughing and stood, "man that was so funny", I gave him one of my famous evil glares, "I mean um, happy birthday"
"Aw, thank you Blaise", I smiled innocently at him before punching him in the arm.
"OW, that hurt", he said rubbing his arm.
"Get ready, breakfast in fifteen minutes", Draco said as he left my room dragging Blaise with him.
I stretch my arms, got up, and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower. Then I brushed my straight blood red hair and went down to eat breakfast.
As I entered the dining room, I found that Blaise and Draco were already seated, but there was no sign of Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy anywhere.
"Mum and dad went to the Ministry early to finish some kind of business", said Draco seeing the confusion on my face.
I nodded before sitting down next to him and across from Blaise who kept annoying me with his giggles.
I just rolled my eyes at him. What a jerk! I thought. Soon his giggles turned into crazy laughter.
"I swear to god, Blaise, if you don't stop laughing I'm going to hex you", I threaten him, angrily. He pretty much ignored me and kept laughing.
"That's it", I narrowed my eyes at him quickly thinking of a spell, "you asked for it, moron"
Next thing you knew, Blaise was hanging in the air upside down.
"Put me down you crazy witch", he shouted.
"Not if you said please", I taunted him.
"Please put me down", he begged close to tears, "you're beautiful, brilliant, and the best witch ever known in the history just pleeaaasssee put me down"
"As you wish", I smiled innocently. I released him from my spell and he fell hard on the floor. Oops!
Blaise got off of the floor and went back to his seat acting as if nothing happened.
"Now that was hilarious", said Draco wiping tears of laughter earning a glare from me.
There was a POPing noise and Dobby the house elf wished me a 'happy birthday' and asked what I'd like to eat.
"Just some pancakes and pumpkin juice please", I replied. Dobby bowed then disappeared with another POP.
While eating our food, three owls came in through the window dropping a letter in front of each one of us. We all stared at the letters for a couple of seconds before exchanging glances.
"Let's open them on the count of three, okay?" I said. They nodded, "okay, one, two, THREE!"
The three of us opened the letters at the same time.
I started reading with an unnaturally fast speed.
"OH YEAH! I'm accepted at Hogwarts. WOAH!" Blaise shouted.
"Me too, ALL RIGHT!" Draco high fived him.
I groaned slamming my head a couple of times on the table.
Draco stopped me, "what's strong with you?"
"Apparently, I've been accepted at Beauxbatons academy and not Hogwarts", I gave them a pouty face.
"Dude! That's like the second most famous school after Hogwarts" Blaise said, "You should be happy"
"But I don't wanna be somewhere else", I whined, "I want to go to Hogwarts with you guys and my other friends"
"Aw, Ginger. I feel so touched", Draco said wiping an imaginary tear.
I hit him playfully on the head, "shut up, Blondie".
"Wait, isn't Beauxbatons academy like all the way in France", asked Blaise.
"Actually, no one really knows the real location of the school just like Durmstrang", Draco said giving us all a shock that he actually knows all that information, "but it does have a high percent of French veelas"
"Wow, I didn't know blondes knew all that", I joked.
Draco rolled his eyes at me. "Seriously Hillary, don't worry about it. I'm sure Dumbledore would send you a letter soon".
Just then an owl flew through the window dropping a letter on my lap.
"I swear to god, Draco. If I didn't know you any better, I would would've thought that you were a psychic", I hastily opened the letter.
"So, what does it say", they asked anxious.
I screamed and started jumping around happily.
"Does that mean that she got accepted at Hogwarts?" asked Blaise.
"Seems like it," Draco said laughing at my crazy excitement.
After I cooled down, I sat down calmly in my chair with a wide grin blasted on my face.
"So, when are we going to buy our school supplies?" I asked.
"I have to ask my parents first", said Draco.
"What are you waiting for then? Go tell them", Blaise said.
I rolled my eyes at him, "they're at work you idiot"
"Oh yeah, I kinda forgot", muttered Blaise.
Draco let out a bored sigh, "I guess we'll have to wait until they come back"
*joy! I thought.
"Man! That's going to take forever!" exclaimed Blaise complaining the whole time.
Draco and I ignored him as best as we could.
He's such a baby sometime! I thought.
