A/N: So, back again, are we? Time fly's when you're playing Nintendogs. Haha! Man, that game is awesome.

Delayed Start: 4. Booger Flavored Beans (and Aileen's other Power) Part One

The week was finally over. Aileen couldn't wait until eight, which is when Dumbledore said that he'd come. She jumped up and down, well, as much as she could jump with a boulder on her neck, anyway.

"Stop it, Ai!" Charlie cried when he saw what she was doing. "You'll break your bed!"

"Since when do you care about my bed?" she replied. But she sat down anyway.

"Fine, you'll break your neck with that thing on!"

"Since when do you care about my neck?"

"Since it was VITAL to your SURVIVAL! That's when!"

"I don't remember you saying to not balance on my head on the trampoline, or not to jump out of that tree, or not to try that back flip on the road, which HURT by the way!"

"Just don't do it, okay?"

"Whatever. Now what am I supposed to do? Oh," said Aileen with an innocent look on her face, "I know!" she reached out for the rope that was hanging on her bedpost.

"No, no, not that!" Charlie slithered backwards, attempting to hide under her pillow. Needless to say, it didn't work, and he found himself on a makeshift leash five minutes later.

"Aile-en," he whined. Why do you always do this?" She currently had him on the leash, wearing a mini sombrero hat and a red and gold belt on his suggested middle while taking pictures of him.

"Be quiet and lift up your tail. A little to the left. Stick out your tongue. Perfect." FLASH! The camera went off. "Okay, now turn your head a little-"

"Aileen!" her mother called up.

"Yeah?"

"It's seven. Shouldn't you take a shower or something?"

"Seven already?"

"Seven-ten, actually."

"Holy shit!" she promptly ran to the bathroom with amazing speed, even if she hadn't had the boulder on.

"Ahhh, saved by the mother." Charlie wiggled out of the ridiculous clothing that Aileen had made him wear.

"Don't think you're getting off this easy!" Aileen called back to him.

"Damn it."

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Aileen was sitting on the couch, brushing her hair with Charlie on her shoulder when someone knocked on the door. Aileen knew who it was and was able to open the door before her mother.

Dumbledore stepped in. "Hello, Professor Dumbledore!" Aileen smiled. "Come in!" she stood out of his way so he could come in.

"I will, but I need to take care of this first." Dumbledore pulled out his wand and flicked it, making the heavy pendant disappear. "Did you wear it the whole time?"

"Yep! Didn't take it off even once."

"Good, good." He stepped through the doorway and sat down in the same spot on the couch that he had before. The family sat across from him.

He explained to them that Aileen still needed to get her books, a wand, robes, and other supplies. He gave her specific directions on how to get to Diagon Alley and what to get there, as well as a list of items and the shops that they would be in.

That's how Aileen found herself the next day telling Tom the barkeep the password to get him to open the brick wall. She decided to go alone, she didn't want her parents to mess up their schedules to do something that she could do herself.

"The Order of the Phoenix has sent me to do their bidding" she whispered to him over the counter.

"So you're Aileen, huh?" Tom said while leading her out back.

"Yes." They stopped in front of the brick wall, and Aileen became a little apprehensive about what would happen next.

Tom pulled out a wand and tapped the bricks in a pattern, making them move to reveal an entrance, just like Dumbledore said it would. "Good luck, and have a good time at Hogwarts, Aileen."

"Thanks," she said, and walked through. She looked back but the wall was already back to normal. "Hmmm, what's first?" She read the list. "Wand - Ollivanders." She looked around, saw the sign to the wand shop, and headed over to it.

Aileen walked into the door to Ollivanders but didn't see anyone there. There was a bell on the counter, so she hit it. An old man came around the corner, and raised an eyebrow at her.

"Did you break your wand? You couldn't be a first year, but I don't remember seeing you before." he leaned over the counter and studied her face. "No facial features I recognize either. Could you be Aileen?"

How does everyone seem to know me? she wondered. "Um, yes. I need a wand."

"Of course you do! You're a witch, you need a wand. Let me see." he disappeared behind a shelf and reappeared with a few boxes. He opened one and handed the wand inside to Aileen.

"Do I flick it or something?"

"Yes. It's how you find the correct wand. Go ahead, now."

She flicked it. Nothing happened. "It doesn't work." She handed it back to him.

"Well," he said, giving her another, "How about this one?"

She flicked it again. "No go."

The process repeated itself again, and again, and again. A half hour, and many wands, later, Aileen felt like giving up. "I don't think that this will work."

"No, there has to be a wand for you!" said Ollivander, carrying out another stack. "These might work. They are much more rare, but the people who've used them have been some of the most amazing witches and wizards of their time." He handed her one. "This one has only had two other owners, wizards who have caused each other much pain and suffering (any ideas, people?)." She held it, and flicked it. Deja vu. Nothing (Haha, got you for a minute, didn't I?). She went through many more wands, without results. He finally handed her one that looked a little different from the rest. It was completely black, but flashed a silvery color in the sunlight. "No one has ever used this wand before. It is actually the only one of its kind, made only once, but nobody alive knows why."

She took it, and didn't even need to flick it before light streamed out and surrounded her in a colorful embrace. "Oh!" she gasped.

"That's the one then. We will have to see what comes from you then, won't we?" he smiled and hustled her out of the store. "You still have quite a list, go out there and get what you need!" She left and began walking while looking at her list. "Books, robe, ink and quills- Oh!" she said, bumping into someone.

"Sorry about that, I really am!" She apologized, looking at who she had bumped into, a boy about her age with glasses, messy hair, and a scar on his forehead.

"Oh, it's okay. Who are you? You must be about my age, but I don't remember seeing you at Hogwarts."

"I'm Aileen Curter," she said sticking out her hand, "The Ministry of Magic made a mistake and this will be my first year at Hogwarts. Who are you?"

"I'm Harry Potter," he said, taking her hand and shaking it, "Nice to meet you."

"You too."

A/N: Yay! Aileen meets Harry! This is part one of a two part chapter. I may update earlier this time, depends on how fast I get this stuff done. Okey dokey then.

Lovebuggy: Thanks for the review! I love Charlie too! He has a pretty important role in the next Chappie, and another VERY important character will make an appearance - tee hee
