Chapter 1 The Arrival

DING DONG!!!! DING DONG!!!!! The doorbell of the Dursley's was ringing as though there was no tomorrow. This was followed by a tremendous hammering that knocked the door off of its hinges. A tall man stepped through the door. "Harry!" Hagrid called. "Are ye reading?" Harry came hurrying downstairs, carrying Hedwig. His trunk was all ready on the hall floor and the Dursleys were cowering in the cellar. Hagrid picked up the trunk with one massive hand and they both went outside to where Hagrid had parked his massive motorbike.

Harry was going to be staying in The Leaky Cauldron with Hagrid until term started. As they flew through the air, Hagrid said to Harry "Dumbledore'll be meetin' us there. He says he's got somethin' important to tell yer." Harry couldn't wait to see Dumbleore again.

They finally landed, inside Diagon Alley. Hagrid sent his motorbike away with a quick tap of his hand, and they entered The Leaky Cauldron. Once inside, Hagrid spoke briefly to the landlord, who lead them up to two rooms right at the top of the building. There seemed to be a lot of muffled thumps coming from one of them. Dumbledore greeted them, his robes filthy and his hat askew. "I'm afraid I've been having some trouble with your sister, Harry." Harry stared at him in shock. "But.but I don't have a sister, sir!" "Actually, Harry, you do." Dumbledore said. "We had to hide her, to protect her. But she doesn't agree that she should come to Hogwarts." He lead the way into the room. Floating in midair was a beautiful maiden, with cropped black hair and eagle eyes. She spat at them as they came closer. "Charmin', ain't ye," Hagrid said. "Now, if we may discuss this calmly," Dumbledore began. The girl seemed about to say something rude, but then she saw Harry. "Fine," she said, and her voice was as soft as the purest silk. "But if you want to discuss anything, you let me down." "But how do we know we can trust her, Dumbledore sir?" Hagrid asked. "Look, as long as there are some cute guys at this place, then I'll behave." With a flick of his wand, Dumbledore lowered her to the ground. "I'm Roberta," she said to Harry, shaking his hand. "Bobby for short."

(To be continued, as soon as I finish the next chapter of my novel and get some free time in which to work on this. I think you'll all love this story. Malfoy gets his come-uppance, but in a very Bobby-like way).
