Harry Potter and My Reality

Chapter 1: My Reality

Hi. My name is Belinda Wohlgemuth. I am 14 years old and I attend year 9 at Lake Illawarra High School in Australia, along with my friends Emma Purdy, Matthew Norris and Thomas Doyle.

We were average teenagers who liked Harry Potter. I was the biggest fan of all of us.

One day we were all in geography when we saw the headline of the Lake Times.

"J.K. Rowling Disappears"

"What." We screamed together, disrupting the class and earning ourselves a detention. We didn't mind because it gave us time to read the article on J.K. Rowling's disappearance.

Emma volunteered to read the article out loud.

"Late Yesterday afternoon J.K. Rowling disappeared from Kings Cross Station as she got off the train that inspired the multimillion dollar books, Harry Potter.

Police have been on the case since 5:00pm yesterday. Police say that there were only two witnesses but both stories from the witnesses were the same and most outrageous.

We have been able to get a statement from both witnesses.

"There was a loud crack and a person appeared behind her. They touched her and she disappeared with the same loud crack. It happens so quickly." Says Margaret Chang.

"She was on the train about to get off and with a pop an tall, hooded person with black robes just appeared like magic behind her. The person touched her and they both disappeared with a crack." Reports Nathaniel Dragons.

"Wait disappeared with a loud crack. That sounds exactly like Apparating and Disapparating." I said shocked. "Keep reading Emma."

Police are stumped by these reports and are no closer to finding J.K. Rowling.

"Oh my god." Was all any one could really say.

"There aren't going to find her." I said suddenly.

"What do you mean Belinda?" asked Tom.

"Well if you think about it. A guy just pops up behind her and he was wearing a black cloak and the person was hooded. If you ask me that sounded like a Death Eater. I mean it can't be a coincidence. She writes books on Harry Potter and the wizarding world and she disappears. The people said it was like a crack. J.K. Rowling describes Apparation like that. Maybe it's all really. Maybe she wasn't supposed to write Harry Potter." I explained trying to sound reasonable.

"Well if you are right the only way to find out is to go to Britain." Said Matt.

"I have the money in my bank account. What about you guys?" asked Emma really keen for a new adventure.

"I'm in." Said Tom.

"Me three." Matt said.

"Belinda?" They all asked at the same time.

"Well I could call my dad and ask him for the money." I replied.

"Great." Said Emma. "How soon can you do it"

"I'll call him now." I replied. I dialled my dad's mobile number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello." Said my Dad.

"Hello dad. It's Bindy. Look I'm just going to come out and say it." I said. "Dad could I please have $5000."

"What for?" He asked.

"Well have you seen the front page of the Lake Times?" I asked.

"Yes. The one that says that J.K. Rowling is missing?" he said.

"That's it. Well my friends and I don't thin that the police are going to find her and we have a pretty good idea where she might be. And don't ask because you will just think that we are crazy." I said.

"Well it's for the greater good. I suppose so. You can count this as an early Christmas present for the next 5 years. Ok." Said my dad. "When do you need the money by?"

"Hold on a sec. Guys when do you want to go?" I asked.

"I say in 2 days. That way we have enough time tomorrow to get the money, tickets and pack." Said Emma.

"We agree." Said Tom indicating himself and Matt.

"Good. Dad I need the money tomorrow." I said

"I will bring it around to you tomorrow morning. Bye" he said.

"Bye." I replied. I closed my mobile and put it back in my shirt pocket.

"Guys that's the bell." Said Emma. "I will call you guys this afternoon. Remember no parents."

"K. See you guys." I said and we all parted to go our separate ways.

Two days later, on September 1st, we landed at London Airport. We went and found the hotel that we made reservations at. We had decided to go to Kings Cross Station to begin our search. Little did we know that what we would be doing would effect our lives drastically for the next year.

A/N: Hey guys. I hope you like it. I am basing this story on a dream I had of my friends and I at Hogwarts. Please read and review.
