The Search
Disclaimer:The basis of this story is based on the works by
Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Thank you for writing the Harry Potter
series. The story and all it's ideas with the most of the chracters
are mine and my brains. NO! You may not have my brain!!
A/N: What if you found out your whole life was a lie? Your
heritage, your parents, your world. A lie.
The computer was something that was part of Sheena Berry's life. She
used it at school and at home. The search engine was her favourite. It
gave you so much infomation at a click of a button. The search engine
changed her life forever one day she would never forget.
Sheena couldn't believe her luck. An Mesoptamia project due in a week,
exams, plus her dog dying of cancer. She had to search up
tiches or a circular shape. Her finger hit the key wrong and hit witches.
Sheena strugged at her mistake and let the computer load. Something funny
funny happened as the computer loaded. Sheena felt a tingle in her fingers
and a zap fly out her tips. The screen showed up in a green script,
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster
Dear Miss Berry,
Welcome to the online Website of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. You have been accepted to
Hogwarts for the next year. We await your email as soon
as possible. Your fingers will know how to do it.

Deputy Headmistress
Sheena stared at the screen in disbelief. She was a witch? Sheena
looked at the screen one more time.
"MOM! Come here for a second!" she called.
Sheena laughed. This was all a joke. Her mum always loved to joke.
Mrs. Berry came downstairs and looked at her daughter curiously.
"What is it dear?" asked Mrs. Berry.
"I love the joke about the school on the computer!"
Mrs. Berry's eye lingered to the computer screen and looked at her
daughter. She sat down next to Sheena.
"Sheena, you were adopted."
"I was what?!"
"Adopted from a couple who was killed by an evil wizard."
Sheena looked into her mum's eyes. She thought her mum was crazy.
"An evil wizard? Are you feeling alright?" she asked her mum.
"Sheena, your father and I were friends with an owner of an adoption
agency. When he finally told us he was a wizard and had a baby girl who
was a witch who had lost her parents by the most feared wizard,
we couldn't question it. We took you in. Then when you got scared or
angry, we saw you for what you were. We also knew that you would be
attending a wizard school when you came of the right age. I guess
11 is the age."
"Why didn't you even tell me?"
"You wouldn't understand. I mean, you would have gone to tell all your
friends that you were a witch. That wouldn't have been good. Tommorrow,
we will be picking up your school things in London. Now you have to email
the school."
Sheena simply typed in, I am coming. without even an email address, it was
sent to the Hogwarts Email line. Sheena ran to bed and sat there the
whole night thinking. She thought of her parents, her heritage, and her
real name. What was her real name? Why was she sent to the non-magic
world? Why didn't she stay her parents' world? She hoped those questions
would be answered when she went to London that next day.
Sheena and her mum went to London that day. Mrs. Berry read the
printout of the letter and followed the direction through underground
London until they reached a grubby little pub which read the
Leaky Cauldron
in a grubby yellow print. Mrs. Berry stepped in and smiled to the bartender.
They seemed to know each other and talked a bit.
"Tom, this is Sheena, Angelina and Jack's daughter."
The toothy bartender smiled at Sheena. He had a kind face which was
something Sheena was good at noticing. He handed both Mrs. Berry and
Sheena a cold glass of pop.
"Sheena, you look like you mother. Her blond hair shined just like yours
plus you have her eyes. You have your father's build though."
Sheena thought of something.
"Tom, did you know me when I was a baby when my parents came here?"
Tom nodded.
"Well, what was my real name?"
Tom looked rather uncomfertable at the question. Mrs. Berry nodded ok
to Tom.
"Your name was Lydia. Lydia Lorston."
Sheena smiled and Mrs. Berry pulled her to the brick wall. She counted bricks
and touch the one on left. The wall formed an archway and the two of them
walked it before the wall closed behind them.
As they walked in the archway, Sheena looked at the cobblestine street to see many stores stealing the weirdest things. Owls, livers of a snail, beeted eyes. Sheena was fascinated by this wonders. She kept quiet as her mum exchnaged their money for wizarding money at the bank which looked like a place. The shape was unlike anything Sheena had ever seen.m They first went to Madam Makin's Robes. A short little witch came over to them and looked at Sheena and smiled.
"You are Jack and Angelina's daughter! Same size as your father. Though you look like your mother. And you must be Carolyn Berry!*she was talking to Mrs. Berry* You are the kind muggle who took Lydia in. G-d bless you!"
"Her name is Sheena miss and we need some black robes."
The small women went rummaging through her closet and kept talking.
"Know what house you will be in Sheena? Your mum was a Ravenclaw while your dad a hufflepuff. He was a quidditch seeker. The best Hufflepuff had in a while. Almost beat James Potter."
"Who?" asked Sheena.
"James Potter. He was the best Gryfinndor seeker ever. His son, Harry who is very famous was defeating the Dark Lord is a 2nd year this year."
"You mean the Dark Lord who killed my mum and dad?"
Mrs. Berry grabbed the bag and Sheena's hand and she waved to the little witch without Sheena hearing the rest of the story. They went into a store for Potion Supplies and saw a man there. He saw Sheena and jumped over the counter.
"Lydia! I know Angelina's eyes anywhere. You have the build of a Lorston! My name is Jimmy*milkman*Horbs. I went to school with your mum and dad. I was friends with your mum's sister. Well, she is my wife auctully."
"My name is Sheena now and my mum's family is alive?"
"Yeah, what you didn't think we wanted you when Angelina and Jack were murdered?"
"It is time to leave Sheena. Goodbye Mr. Horbs."
Mrs. Berry pulled Sheena outside and looked at her. Words seem to have left her and she just walked to the store called Flourish and Botts. It was a bookstore with tons of books. Mrs. Berry went looking for some school books and Sheena walked around a bit. She picked up a book and ran to show her mum when she crashed into a skinny black haired boy with a scar of lightning on his forehead. He stood up and helped Sheena up.
"I am so sorry! This is my first time here and I am kinda hyper." said Sheena with her throat throbbing.
"It's alright. Your first year at Hogwarts?" he said.
"Yes it is. I just found out you are a witch."
"Ah. So you are from a muggle family?"
"Well, my life is messed up. I am from a wizarding family named Jack and Angelina Lorston. Well they were killed by an evil wizard called the Dark Lord or something like that. I was put up for adoption after they were killed and the Berrys adopted me. They knew I was a witch but never told me until I got a weird message on a search engine. That's why I am here. I am Sheena Berry by the way and you are?"
"Harry Potter. Well I was in the same situation as you are."
Sheena knew she was blushing. Harry was HOT!!!
"Really, well my mum needs me. See you."
"Goodbye! See you at Hogwarts!"
Sheena watched as he ran out the door to two kids a boy and a girl. Sheena was in love! Mrs. Berry had one more stop to make with Sheena. This was Ollivander's Wands as the battered sign says. They walked in and a cheery man came over to them and seemed to know Sheena.
"Lydia, you have your mother's face but your father's strength. Your mother was a transfiguration genius. She had the 13 1/2 inches wick with unicorn hair. Your father was on the other hand a master at Potions though well the potions professers never liked him because Jack could teach their class. He liked a supple wand. It was 10 inches willow with dragon horn. Very powerful though."
"My name is Sheena now and I am looking for a wand. Can I choose it?"
Mr. Ollivander started pulling down boxes.
"The wand chooses the witch m'dear."
Sheena was told to wave the wands and wait for something. Sheen kept waving them and nothing happened. It must have been half past an hour before Mr. Ollivander handed her a nice wand. Sheena waved and felt a tingle in her fingers. It shot out rainbow fireworks and he clapped his hands.
"Would you look at that?"
"What is it?"asked Sheena.
"Well, you have the same unicorn hair in your wand as your mum's. Your wand is willow as your dad's. This is a first!! Your new wand is 9 inches willio with unicorn hair."
Sheena sat alone by the fire while Mrs. Berry paid. She felt so outcasted y her family. They didn't understand how much this was where she belonged. Everyone knew why her parents were murdered except her. Why wasn't she kept in the wizarding world with her mother's sister? She began to cry. Mr. Ollivander smiled as Mrs. Berry paid Sheena up. Sheena quickly dried her tears. She smiled at Mr. Olllivander and walked out with her mother. She had more questions then answers. She knew of her mum and dad now and her real name was Lydia Medelyn Lorston. Now her name was Sheena Patricia Berry. As they walked back to downtown London, she though about many things like names. Your name is your idenity. Why was hers changed? Maybe she would find out September 1st.
A/N:If you don't R/R, I won't continue this series which I have had alot of fun with. I was using my school computer when this came into my head. I hope you have enjoyed reading this and please oh please R/R!!
