A NEW LIFE

Cassandra (cassy) Potter was sitting under the old tree outside the school yard, she was supose to have gone home houres ago. Ever since she was five she had lived with the dursleys on Private drive. Cassy looked up from the book she had been reading and pushed a black curl behinde her ear, Aunt Patunia was always telling her how she needed to keep her hair off her face. Cassy closed her emerald eyes and sighed, she barley remembered her father. She did remember his warm smiles, the way he laughed, the way he looked when he was angry, the time he tried to brush her hair and broke the brush, and a woman ,who she knew was not her mother, was there to sing her to sleep when he was gone. She tried so hard to remember more but it always came up as a blank.

A cold drop on her nose pulled he out of her thoughts, it was raining. Cassy stood up and packed her stuff into her second hand bag. Cassy walked the normal path to her "home" with the rain pouring hard down on her. Seeing the house in the distance she pushed the soaked strand of black hair out of her eyes, suddenly feeling very dizy. The rain was so cold she felt as is she might turn to ice. When her hand closed around the doorknob she could barley feel the cold metel. The dry warmth covered her like a blanket the minute she opened the door.

Slowly closing the door behind her she walked up to the room she shared with her cousin. Elizibeth Dursley looked up as she entered the room, Cassy's bed was the small cot in the corner, the rest of the room was liz's. Cassy pulled on some dry clothes, and headed to the bathroom to brush out her soaked hair.

Cassy went back into the room and sat down on her cot, trying to wil away the growing headache. Soon she fell into a restless sleep. When she woke up the headache had completley gone, and cassy stood up to leave. When she went to pick up her school bag she noticed that anoying creaking sound. Bending down she realized the floorboard was loose and pried it up a little. Under the board was a book, a photo album. Cassy sat on the floor and opened it to the front page, but it was empty. The next thing under the board was a journal, on the cover it read Harry Potter. Dad? Before Cassy could read it her aunt came in, upon seeing the journal and album Petunia snached it from the girl and ran down stairs calling to her husband. Petunia had hid the only thing she had of her father's, and cassy was determined to get it back!

The next day when she left for school, cassy hid behind the hedges until the dursleys had all left. Using liz's key she opened the door and headed to her aunt and uncle's room. After about an hour of searching Cassy found a small box in the closet with a gold locket and a letter. Cassy picked up the letter, there was somthing vey familiar about this. The letter was adressed to her! Cassy carefuly opened the envolope and took out the thick peice of paper. She almost dropped it when Bright blue letters began appearing on the paper. Shaking slightly she read:

Cassy, I Hope you have not lost faith in me, I had no other choice. I hope you understand what i'm about to tell you. I knew Voldemort was coming after us so i prepaired a spell to ensure your safty. When , as i'm sure you know, voldemort killed your grandparents he failed to kill me. Since he was unable to kill me i became amune to the killing curse, but since i am not effected by the curse i could not do the same for you as my mother did for me. the spell i used gave you my amunity through the locket i left with this letter. You must never take off the locket.

Love, Dad

Cassy tried to open the locket but it was stuck. Cassy jumped when she heard the door downstairs open, the dursleys were back! Quickly she put the locket around her neck and pocketed the note. carefuly she opened the door to their room and snuck into hers. After the note was hidden she checked the clock and opened her window. Cassy saw somthing comming twards her, at first she thought it was just her imagination until it took a form. An owl swooped into the window and landed on her cot. The owl was a beautiful white bird. Cassy noticed the owl had droped a letter on her floor and she picked it up. She opened the letter and read:

Dear Cassandra,

My name is Hermione granger, you may not remember me but I was a good friend of your fathers. Ronald, Luna and I are going to be there tomorrow to take you to diagon ally. see you then

Hermione

Cassy reread the letter, but it still made no sense.It was tjen that she heard a loud crash and her aunt scream. Cassy ran downstairs and saw three people in long robes coming out of the fireplace. the first person to exit the fireplace was a man with Fire red hair, that was covered with soot.

"I'm getting to old for this" was all he said. the second person emerged from the fireplace, this was a woman with long curly brown hair.

"Oh honestly ron, your only twenty nine, you've got a lot of floo days left in you" she smiled and helped the third person out of the fireplace, this person she knew. Before the third person could say a thing Cassy ran over to her and throw her arm's around her.

"Luna, your real" Luna Lovegood smiled and hugged her back

"of course i'm real Cassandra, didn't the dursleys tell you about us, about your father?"

"no tell me"

okay that's good for today, hope you like.
