Adelaide ran to her daughter and hugged her so tightly and so long, but to Enya- none of that mattered. Harry sat on a bench getting a bit impatient. He started tapping his foot and making funny faces to entertain himself untill Adelaide noticed it. She broke apart from their hug and took a good look at her daughter. Enya reminded Adelaide so much of herself, she couldn't help but smile.
Enya told her mother all about the orphanage, Jaden, the Malfoy kid, and, well, her entire life without Adelaide. Her mother listen with such care in her eyes, it was as if she had been their with Enya the whole time. To them (and Harry) it seeme as though it had been hours and hours of talking…. But it had only been 15 min.
"Well, we best be hurringing up if you are going to be getting your wands." Ollivander started. "Enya, try this. It is made out of the exact same as your mother." He handed her a willow wand with unicorn hair, for the pure of heart. Enya gave it a whirl and a window shattered. Ollivander took it backand Adelaide was pretty dissapoin, but quickly got over it. Next was a yew wand with Demiguise Hair for transfguration. Another whirl another window. Two more wands went by, and two more glass objects busted. On the 5th try (5 is my fav number! Go 5!) it was finally right. It was a maple wand with pheonix feathers: very magical. (I've also got a thing for pheonix feather-ed wands. Adelaide felt extremly excited or her daughter and her wand and ran upstairs to her bedroom to jot it down in a journal (mothers).
"Harry! I believe you are next!) Harry bolted right up, getting the enthusiasm that he has been waiting for. "This is the same type as your mother; a nice willow wand with Hair from the Mane of a Kelpie. Best for all spells if you ask me." Harry picked up the wand and there goes the chair. "Nope! Try this one. Just like your father's; Mahogany with Dragon Heartstring, and this one is best for hexes (go figure)." Again, Harry picked up the wand and- it just didn't work ok? Another few wands went by, and many laughs from Enya were heard, until a wand went wrong and muted her. Harry had the last laugh there. "Alright. This one, maybe." Ollivander said with very worried eyes, Harry carefully picked this other wand up and a shock went through him, and the muting curse on Enya was lifted. "That's the one!" Ollivander said. "Though it is very awkward."
"What is, father?" Adelaide inquired.
"This is a holly, phoenix feather wand. The dark lord's wand gave one other feather, and this is the wand that contains it. That is why it is weird." He turned to Harry and Enya. "Phoenix feathers are very rare and very- very powerful. I'm sure we can expect something great from both of you." Enya and Harry looked at each other and smiled. Great things, oh yes indeed, but will these 11 year olds know how to control their powers to make these great things happen?
-----------------------------------------
Ollivander insisted that they stayed for a little while longer for a snack, and Enya and Harry had been walking all day it seemed like, so they couldn't resist. Ollivander told Harry a bit about you-know-who and his evil life, and Adelaide talked to Enya asking her about her life. Have no doubt that Enya had questions too! Oh my…. Some were just silly questions, but some meant a lot to her.
"Okay! First question, mum…. what is my middle name? So many people asked me that question and I didn't know what to say! It would help if you told me! I do have a middle name right?! Because if I don't, I swear my world will be upside down… not that it isn't already but- you get what I mean."
Adelaide gave a tiny laugh. "My dear, you father didn't tell you (Enya shook her head). Well! I guess I will have to tell you before your world, as you said, goes upside down! Your middle name is Alexandria. Protector of mankind. Little trivia for you." Enya smiled at her middle name. She said it in her head so many times; it was like speaking a different language to her.
"Mum, I'm changing my first name!" Enya said with a stomp of her foot and a cross of her arms.
"Oh are you?!" Her mother said giggling.
"Yes I am! From this time on (now and forever more. You'll be in my heart… sry…. Back to the story shall we?) my name will be Alexandria… Alex will be a fine nickname… but… yeah! Do you like it?"
"Darling! I love it!" They talked a bit more and the subject of their ancestors came up. Adelaide told 'Alex' about them and ran upstairs to get a photo album of their family and a little box that was wrapped up in red and gold. "Here you go, Alex!" Adelaide said. Alex took the gifts and looked through photo album first. On the front cover was a picture of a little 2-month baby wrapped in a white blanket.
"Who is that?" Alex asked.
"Why! It's you, Alex. And on the next page (Adeline turned the page) is your father, you, and me."
Alex's father that agreed to send her to the orphanage had old white hair and was fairly old himself. He was about in his 60's, but Alex's mother was 38. In this picture her father has deep black hair and chocolate brown eyes and very handsome.
"Alex, I am about to tell you something that you shouldn't repeat to anyone you can't trust. Only people that you can trust with your life! This is your father."
"Whoa! He got old fast!"
"No, Alex, Chromien (who Alex believes is her father) isn't your dad. This man in the picture is you actual dad, Sirius Black. He is in Azkaban." The last sentence sounded really hard on Adelaide.
"Mum, what is Azkaban?"
"It is like a wizard jail… not a very nice place at all. There are dementors at every door. Dementors are very foul creatures. But you need shouldn't worry about that just yet."
"So my name is actually Enya Alexandria Black!"
"Yeah! I guess so." Said Adelaide with a smile.
"Cool! But I think that I'll just go with Alex Black!"
"No! You can't go by Black… he is known by everybody by being very evil and vile. Stick with Alex Mona."
"Is he evil, my dad?"
"No, he isn't evil one bit. I think that it would be best if you go finish your shopping. I'll let you go now. I love you, honey." And Adeline kissed Alex on her forehead. Then Alex and Harry left Ollivanders and stepped out into the bright sunlight.
"I hate the sun! Nighttime is my favorite. The moon, stars, darkness- it is all so beautiful! Don't you think Harry?" Alex turned around and couldn't find Harry anywhere. She repeated his name again looking for him everywhere.
"Enya!" A boy said putting a hand on her shoulder, turning her around.
"Draco! Have you seen Harry?"
"Harry? Who is he?"
"The boy who was with me when we were getting our robes. Have you seen him or not?! And by the way, my name is now Alex."
"I like the name, and no…. I haven't seen him."
"Alex! Over here!" She spun back around, said good-bye to Draco (who was looking rather jealous of Harry), and ran to see what Harry wanted.
"Look at what Hagrid got me!" and Harry pulled out a cage with a snow-white owl inside. "Her name is Hedwig! Isn't she beautiful!"
"Yeah. She sure is." Alex mumbled.
Hagrid came out of the "pet shop" (dunno what to call it) holding another snow-white owl with reddish color feathers in her wings. "Ye didn't think ye don't get anythin' did ya now?"
"Is she for me!? (Hagrid nodded, handing her the owl) Thanks! What is her name?"
"Lotti. It means free. German, if ya wanted ter know."
"Lotti! I love it! Thank you so, so much!"
Harry, Alex, and Hagrid went through the rest of the day shopping around and looking at different wizardry stuff. Alex got back to the orphanage late that night and like wise for Harry. (Will I really have to introduce Harry's so-called "family"? I mean… ur reading a Harry Potter fanfic, u should know about his family, and if you don't- ur weird and go down to Barnes and Noble and pick up a Harry Potter book- preferably the first one… hint hint) Vernon was very angry at Harry for the time he got back, mainly because he was already asleep, and scolded him yet again. Harry just took the screaming, like he does every single time, and went into his little, little, tiny bitty, bedroom under the stairs.
When Alex got back she received a hug from Jaden and many questions such as: 'how was the park?' and 'where'd you go?' 'Who'd you meet? TELL ME!!!' Alex laughed at him and shook her head no. She also told him how tired she was and went to bed. Though, when she walked in her room something felt different, but she ignored it and went to bed.
"Good bye, Jaden."
"Tell me again why you have to leave. I can stand this place without you!"
"I'm flattered, but I can't tell you. I'm so sorry. I really wish I could."
"Please don't leave! (He was on the edge of crying; Alex's weakness, and he knew it) I really n-need you here. Don't go!"
"Jaden, Jaden stop it! Trust me, I'll be okay."
"Hmp! Are you sure?! Because I think that if you tell me where you are going, then if anything goes wrong, I can be there to help out."
"Jaden, I don't think that you can come or help me in this type of situation." Alex replied.
"Alex, it's time for you to go." Livlia said.
"Thank you. Bye Jaden. I'll see you in the summer." She gave him a quick hug and left with her cart out the front door, and so did Livlia.
They were half way down the road towards Hagrid and Alex asked Livlia, "Livlia, where are you going?"
"Why! To Hogwarts of course!"
"You! But you're not a… a- a witch! Are you?"
"I am! Just like you are!"
"So you knew all about this?!"
"Yes, yes I did. Dumbledor is a great headmaster; you have nothing to worry about! I'm in my 7th year. So- I'll see you at the train station." and with that, she apparated on the spot. Alex looked so stunned, but then again, she is a witch.
"Harry! Great to see you again!"
"Same here!"
"Great welcome, Harry."
"Fine! It is such a great honor to meet your acquaintance again! We must catch up!"
Alex gave a quick laugh and said, "That's more like it!"
"Come on! Don' wanna miss the train now do we!" They left for King's cross train station. Hagrid gave them the tickets and left. 'Platform 9¾', they made their way to platform 9 and 10 but not 9¾.
"Hurry up! Don't want to be late! Oh! Your father would have a cow f he found out!" Alex overheard a stout lady saying on her way with 5 children following her like little ducklings. "7,8-9! Here we are! Platform 9¾!"
Alex gave a quick look to Harry and ran to the family. "Excuse me, but did you say platform 9¾?"
"Yes, darling. Are you new to this?"
"Yeah, could you show us how?"
"Why of course! Ron is new to it also!" An eleven year-old, red-haired boy looked up and smiled. All of them have red hair; there are two twins: Fred and George (they are only one year older than Ron, Harry, Alex, etc.), the oldest one is Percy, and the youngest which is a long hair, redhead girl.
"All you need to do is run right into the wall. Now you will go through it into the station for the Hogwarts express so don't be scared! Percy, you go first, show them how it's done." She said with a quick smile.
The boy ran through the wall and didn't seemed to be hurt, so Alex perked up the courage to go next. She took off right through the wall and entered a very large room, with a very large red and black train and many other children running around hugging family members and boarding the train.
Fred and George came up behind her and dumped a bucket of water on her head. You can probably guess what she did. She chased them around the entire station till she was practically dry. They stood there catching their breathes when she caught up, and so was she. Then they started laughing and introducing themselves.
"I'm Gred Weasley!" Fred said
"And I'm Feorge Weasley!" George said, following the same pattern.
"Right… I if I say that I'm Mlex Aona, then what would you say?"
"Hmm…. Sally Bert!" Fred said in reply, and Alex gave a joking punch on his shoulder.
"Let me take a crack at it… Alex Mona?"
"Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner! Too bad… no prize." She gave another joking gesture, she wiped a tear and ran back to her cart and loaded it onto the train and found a seat with Ron and Harry.
"So? Ron, is it?"
"That's my name! Well- it is actually Ronald, but I go by Ron."
"I would too! Your brothers are hilarious!"
"Percy! If you got him to laugh, I shall bow down to you."
"No! Fred and George."
"Yeah! They are famous for their pranks… most of them end up on Percy and me." Alex broke out in laughter and Harry did too!
"Harry? Are you okay?" She said through laughter.
"Yeah!" Harry replied, hypervenolating. Then the round of laughter continued till some people came over complaining. Okay… I know- that joke wasn't funny, but Harry was laughing at Alex's laugh (just so we're clear).
The train ride seemed to take forever to them. The only thing that kept them excited was the thought of the castle. Alex had just woken up (guess that thought of the castle didn't work very well) from a very long nap. "Hey, I have to go to the bathroom, be back in a minute." Alex said, but it turned out Ron and Harry had fallen asleep too.
On her way back to their cart she bumped into Draco. "Hey! Watch it!"
"Yes sir." Alex responded crossing her arms.
"Oh! Alex, sorry. How are you?"
"Fine. Didn't like the way that you yelled at me."
"Said I was sorry."
"Whatever. How is your ride so far?"
"Boring. I would much rather eat a spider than ride this train for another second!"
"Yuck! I hate spiders. How they're all crawly and have eight legs and small, and creepy, and"
"I get it."
"Sorry. Well, I guess that you were right."
"About what?"
"Seeing me on the train." Alex smiled and walked away.
"I guess so." Draco finished, saying to himself." He walked back to his cart, sat down, and looked out the window to the sunset view across the mountain, and dozed off.
