Hailey Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
Chapter 1 Hogwarts Letter
"Not Hailey! Not Hailey, please not Hailey!""Stand aside, you silly girl...stand aside now..."
"Not Hailey, please no, take me, kill me instead—."
"Avadra Kedavra."
There was a flash of green light, then blackness.
Hailey woke up from another one of her nightmares. She always dreamt about the night her mother was murdered or about some kid named Tom Riddle. One thing that always puzzled Hailey about the night her mother was murdered by Voldomort was why he didn't just kill her, but instead told her to move.
These dreams always disturbed her, but she didn't have anyone to go to about them. Sure she lived with her father, but he acted like she didn't exist. Padfoot wasn't serious enough, and Moony had his own problems to deal with because he was a werewolf. But this year Hailey hoped to make friends she could confide in because she was going to Hogwarts. Her acceptance letter was going to arrive today. That's when Hailey remembered it was her 11th birthday.
Every birthday Hailey wished that her dad would just treat her normally. She never once told her that he loved her, which hurt a lot. Hailey slowly got out of bed and when to the closet. She picked out some cute low-waisted jeans that she got from Sirius as an early birthday present a week ago. She also got out her white ruffled blouse and a pair of white flip-flops. Hailey quickly changed into her clothes and went into the bathroom to do her hair. She pulled her long wavy red hair into a loose ponytail and observed her face.
Hailey had big green eye and a natural blush to her cheeks. She also had a slim frame, which added to her Barbie Doll cute look. Hailey had to admit she looked quite cute.
Hailey slowly made her way down the Grand Staircase and into the Dining Hall. She lived in practically a small mansion with just her father. Of course Padfoot and Moony were over constantly. On the Main Floor there was a huge kitchen, the Dining Hall, the Library, a Dueling Room, a Living Room, and a Parlor. On the Second Floor are James' Master Bedroom, Hailey's bedroom, and 5 other guest rooms. On the Third Floor is a Drawing Room (where Hailey works on all of her art, a Music room (where Hailey practices the guitar, drums, and her singing), and a huge patio used for looking at the stars because Hailey loves astronomy. There is also a big swimming pool in the backyard.
Hailey walked into the Dining Hall to see her father already there and eating.
"Good Morning Dad," said Hailey as cheerfully as she could muster up.
Unfortunately her father chose to ignore her. Hailey guessed that her probably forgot it was her birthday. She knew that one of the days she would have a break down because of her father. She just prayed that it wouldn't be today. Hailey decided to try and converse with her father for once because she didn't want anything ruining her special day.
"So, dad, what are you going to do today," she asked casually.
Her father looked at Hailey like she had grown an extra head.
"Probably do some research in the library," James said through gritted teeth.
"So you didn't have anything special planned for today?" Hailey persisted.
"No," he said as he scowled.
This hurt Hailey even more because she knew for sure that her father had forgotten her birthday...again. Suddenly the flames in the fire turned green and Padfoot and Moony walked through the fireplace. For the first time in a while a true smile showed up on James Potter's face. That made Hailey smile too because she like seeing her father happy from time to time.
"Padfoot, Moony," James exclaimed, "what are you doing here, we didn't have anything planned for today, did we?"
"You didn't think we would miss our goddaughters birthday, know did you, Prongs," said Sirius.
"Oh, no of course not," said James rather quickly.
They were interrupted from their conversation by an owl swooping in and dropping a letter in front of Hailey. She knew that this was her Hogwarts letter. It was addressed
