A Red Rose at Hogwarts

"Harry get up now!" Harry's aunt yelled from downstairs. Harry moaned, it was after noon and Harry still hadn't woken up. He slumped out of bed and pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt. When he got downstairs, his aunt push a ham and cheese sandwich and a small glass of milk into his hands, "Eat it and get out of my sight!" She said rather rudely, and went into the family room. Harry ate it quickly and slumped back up to his room. Harry had been in a rather bad mood this summer and wanted to leave his Aunt and Uncle's house. He wanted to be with his best friends, Ron and Hermione. When he got into his room he didn't even bother to pick up or turn the lights on. His room was in such a mess because of his bad mood, and he'd been too lazy to pick it up. Harry decided he would go for a walk to get out of the house. He put on his shoes and went outside. It was a perfect, bright, sunny day without a cloud in the sky. Harry jumped over the low fence and saw a girl next door with long, blonde hair that had a slight wave in it. She looked about Harry's age, and was trying to carry a big box into the house that was recently sold. She obviously was moving in. "Hey need any help?" Harry yelled to her. When she looked at him, she dropped the box that she was carrying, and it sounded like something fragile had broken. Her blue eyes became wide, "Oh my gosh! Your Harry Potter!" She yelled at him.

"What? How do you know who I am?" Then it dawned on him that she was a witch too. "Wait so your a-"

"Shut up! We're outside remember? And yes I am. I just moved here from America" She said.

"Oh yeah, well do you need any help?" He asked her walking over to her.

"Sure, just grab a box in the truck right there and follow me." She said picking up the box she had dropped. And walking into the house. Harry picked up a box and followed her. On the outside of the house it looked normal but when he walked inside it looked strangely bigger than it looked outside.

"My names Aria, and obviously your Harry." The girl said holding out a hand to him. "So do you goto Hogwarts?"

"Yeah I do why?" Harry asked when he put the box down.

"Because I'm going to be there this year. So tell me how you get sorted into your house?" She said sitting down on the floor.

"Well you kinda put this hat on and it tells you what house your going to be in." He said sounding stupid. Aria was very pretty, and his stomach did a sorta sumersalt. Harry had this feeling before, it was with his old crush, Cho.

"Okay?" Aria said with a wierd looking face. "That's a little weird."

"Well it's hard to describe." Harry said. And that's when a lady walked into the door, She had short blonde hair and blue eyes just like Aria.

"Hello Aria dear, and oh hello umm... who are you?" She said. She could only the the back of Harry but when he turned around she recognized him right away.

"Harry Potter? Your the wizard that lives here? Well hello I'm Aria's mother" She said shaking his hand. "Well Aria dear can you help me get all the groceries please." And when Harry got up to go help too, Aria's mother stopped him. "Oh no Harry you don't have to help. Just sit down." She said and that's when she looked into his eyes and her face suddenly became depressed. "Your eyes are like your mother's."

"You knew my mum?" He said almost falling to the floor.

"Yes, we went to Hogwarts together. We were really good friends. I miss her alot. But you must get on with life. I'll go get the rest of the groceries." And she walked out. Later that night Aria's mother made hamburgers and Harry ate with them. But Harry still didn't get to find out anymore about Aria's mother and his mother, and about how they knew each other. And when he went to sleep that night he still wondered about it.

The next morning he woke up and picked up his room quickly then wrote a letter to Lupin telling him all about Aria and her mother. Asking him if he knew her when they were all going to school . Then telling him that nothing new had happened. Then he went downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal and went over to Aria's house again. Her mother wasn't home this time but Aria was and she was trying to unpack all her stuff and put it in her room. Her bed was already there and had blue sheets on them. She was putting up her posters when he rang the door bell. He helped her put up some of her other posters and when he had finished putting up a poster of the American quidditch team. A black cat jumped up on the bed. "Hey Star," Aria said petting the cat. "This is Star, she's my cat." Aria said picking up the cat and showing it to Harry it had a white spot between it's eyes and had big blue eyes that looked at Harry happily. Harry pet Star and she purred as he scratched behind her ears. The cat jumped back down and left the room, rubbing on Harry's legs. "Obviously Star likes you, she never acts like that to anyone except me and my mom. So your lucky, she usually tries to scratch anyone else. But she's really harmless." Aria said, looking into her mirror, she put her hair up into a ponytail and Harry saw for a brief second that she had slightly pointy ears, then he blinked and they were normal. Harry decided that he was just seeing things.

Sorry for such a short chapter. I'll try to write more later. Jessica
