Chapter two: Tara Potter

((Eleven years later))



Tara Potter was a thin girl with pitch black hair that never stood in place, extraordinarily green eyes and glasses. She lived with some people that adopted her. Their names were Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Tara had no idea why they had adopted her. They positively hated her.

She was going down to breakfast when an snowy owl swooped in and dropped a letter at her feet. She picked it up and read it. This was so cool. She was accepted to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. At the end of the letter it said:

Please keep the owl. Her name is Hedwig.

She didn't get much reaction when she showed the letters to the Dursleys. But they still brought her to the Leaky Cauldron where she met Hagrid. He was supposed to see her around Diagon Alley and King Cross. When he saw her he was taken aback.

"You look exactly like him except you're a girl."

"Who?"

"Oh, I've said to much."

"Come on, who?"

"And you act like him too."

"Hagrid, who are you talking about?"

"Harry Potter."

"Who's he?"

"I'll show you later."

They went to Gringotts and got some money. After that they went to Flourish and Blotts. After she had gotten all her books, Hagrid showed her a book entitled: Harry Potter, saviour and dark wizard.

She gasped, the picture on the front of the book looked exactly like her but it was a boy with short hair and he had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

She bought the rest of her school supplies except for her wand. When she got to Mr. Ollivander's he took one look at her and gave her a wand.

"Dumbledore asked me to prepare this for you. Holly and Phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple."

She took the wand and felt warmth spread through her body. She knew this was the right one.

She bought it and spent the night at the Leaky Cauldron.

The next morning, she took a taxi to Platform nine and three quarters and got on the Hogwarts Express. She was in a cubicle that was empty at the end of the train. Every time someone came in, they took one look at her and turned back until two friends came and sat beside her.

"You're Tara Potter aren't you?" asked a girl with red hair and freckles."I'm Sara Weasley and this is Tom Granger."

She was pointing to the boy beside her that had frizzy brown hair and oversized front teeth.

"Would you know why every one is keeping away from me?"

"Well, you're related to Harry Potter."said Tom.

"Who's he? I saw a book talking about him but it just said he was saviour and dark wizard."

"Our parents were his best friends before he turned to the dark side."

Tara wanted to ask more but she held her tongue.

For the rest of the way they talked about normal stuff. And soon they were there.
