[pic]Hey everyone here I am again for another installment of my fanfic! I'm so incredibly happy that people have reviewed my story and people like it ~does a quick happy dance~. Some quick notes before I begin, I have had some people wondering what the title of my story means or how it's connected to the story. Unfortunately I can't tell you why because it's connected to the main plot of the story if I can ever get my slow ass moving and get there! Now if you know me you realize how incredibly slow I am but if you don't know me then you now know that I'm slow. Ummmmm, I think that's it for my notes and stuff like that so now on to the Disclaimer (I don't know if I need one in every chapter but I just want to be safe because I'm BROKE!)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything and blah, blah, blah. You get the picture



Family Matters

Chapter 5- Strange Occurrences

"Morning sunshine!" Mackenzie cried out as she saw Lauren start to move. "God Mackenzie, what are you doing up? Usually you're dead to the world until at least 10:30 and here it is at 6:45 and you're all happy and chipper. What's going on?" Lauren asked crawling out of bed to go sit with Mackenzie at the little table in their room. "Oh well the usual, got woken up by another weirdo dream and took a shower and now I'm sitting here staring off into space." Mackenzie said looking very serious the whole time. "Another one!?" Lauren said plunking down across from Mackenzie. "Yeppers, except this time the boy Harry was older, maybe a few years younger than us. He had a fight with this other guy who was wearing a turban- his name was Professor Quirrell- and he had a man on the back of his head." "A WHAT??" "Yeah, you heard me right he had a man on the back of his head, well not the entire man just a face and it was the face of the guy from my first dream that killed Lilly and James!" Mackenzie finished by pounding her hand on the table with such force that Lauren jumped. Lauren had the strangest expression on her face: like a mix of fear, astonishment and worry. "Whoa. I don't know where these dreams are coming from Mackenzie but I hope they stop because they're weirding me out." Lauren said looking at Mackenzie. At that moment there came a knock at the door, "Girls are you up yet?" A female voice called out. "Yeah Mrs. Smith, we're up." Mackenzie answered. "Well we're leaving at 8:30 so be ready." Lauren and Mackenzie heard footsteps going down the hall while they both moved to get ready for the day.

After a few hours sightseeing the group of teenagers stopped to get lunch. Mackenzie and Lauren talked about Mackenzie's dream over a lunch of sandwiches and granola bars (AN~ I don't know about you but I LOVE granola bars. Especially those Chewy ones! ~). "So you're saying that these people-" "Lilly and James." "Right, Lilly and James were murdered by this dude and now the dudes after their son?" Lauren said looking at Mackenzie "His names Harry and yes I think that's what happened. So this guy- whoever he is- is hell-bent on killing Harry cause he didn't finish the job the first time. Also it seems to me that the dude is a pretty powerful guy with that stick thingy." Mackenzie said gathering up her trash. "Well Mackenzie I don't know how the hell this is happening but I help however I can." Lauren said copying Mackenzie's movements. "Thanks Lauren I really appreciate it."

Little did the girls know that three wizards whose mouths were agape in wonder and amazement were listening to them. All three men were thinking along the same line though: Oh my God. We need Dumbledore.





So peoples you know the deal by now, review with your predictions or comments on the books and of course what you think of my story. Another note though, I believe this would be an AU because the Harry Potter books don't exist in Lauren and Mackenzie's world. Well until I write again.

Jessica- I agree about the Dumbledore/Hagrid thing. It says somewhere in the books that Dumbledore looked really old at one point and him being the only one Voldemort is afraid of I think that maybe Dumbledore will take him on to save Harry and he might end up dead. On the Hagrid thing I was thinking along the same lines- him trying to save Harry. I just hope that she doesn't kill Harry off. If she does my friend (Doone) and I are going to start a mourning day. You don't need to tell me I'm strange, I already know.

Tessa- I know! Just because you're a Slytherin doesn't mean you have to be mean!
