Chapter 1: Through the Portal

AN: So I had a very similar story up here before but I hadn´t updated it in ages and I didn´t like how I had written it so I rewrote it and now I hope it is a little better than before.

I´m not a native English speaker so please have that in mind when you read, and I would greatly appreciate if you could give me tips on how to better my writing. But please be kind.

Hope you enjoy the first chapter

An eleven years old girl held the hand of her two years younger sister as they hurried through the crowd at King´s Cross station. Her golden blond hair was as usual pulled up in a braid that reached just below her shoulder blades and her sapphire blue eyes shined with excitement.

As the girl hurried through the crowd she pushed and bumped into people and hastily had to apologise when they gave her annoyed looks.

"Jennifer MacAvity slow down, respectable girls don't knock people over," the girl's mother, Anne MacAvity, said irritably.

The girl grimaced. It was only her mother that called her by her full name, Jennifer, her father, Henry MacAvity, called her Jenny but everyone else called her Jen.

"But, mother," Jen said excitedly as she slowed down and turned towards her mother. "The train is nearly here, and I want to see when they come out from the platform."

The words were barely out of her mouth before she turned and started to drag her little sister, Olivia, even faster through the crowd. Their parents followed them in a much more respectable pace, her mother with a scowl on her face.

When they came to the wall between platform 9 and 10, they stopped and waited next to a family of red-haired people.

After five minutes of waiting something happened, out of the wall came two young boys each with a trolley with a trunk and an owl on. After the two boys came more young boys and girls, always in pairs of twos and threes and all with trolleys and trunks.

It didn´t take long until a blond and blue-eyed boy of fifteen came out of the portal laughing together with two other boys. The boy, like everyone else, was pushing a trolley with a trunk and on the trunk was a cage with a brown barn owl.

"Peter!" Jen called when she saw the boy and rushed over to him throwing her arms around his middle in a tight hug. "I missed you!"

"I missed you too, little sister," Peter said hugging her back.

After he let Jen go, he turned and gave Olivia a hug too but when he had let her go and turned towards their parents, he only said a polite hello and gave a strict nod. They then turned and started to walk back to their car. As they walked away from the wall between platform 9 and 10 Jen saw Peter look back once with longing in his eyes.

Peter had just finished his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Jen could still remember how the strange man, that they later discovered was a wizard, had barged into their house and told them that Peter was a wizard. None of them had believed him until he had turned one of their flowerpots into a turtle and then back to a flowerpot again.

Jen, Peter and Olivia had all been excited and overjoyed about the fact that magic existed but their parent's hadn´t been nearly as excited. Both Mr and Mrs MacAvity were very successful lawyers and didn´t want anything ruining their reputation, and in their minds one of their children being a wizard could definitely do just that.

They had nearly forbidden Peter to go to Hogwarts, but he had begged them until they finally relented. But they also said that they didn´t want anything to do with anything magic.

So, they had given Peter a bit of money and then he had followed the wizard to a place that the wizard had called Diagon Alley.

Jen and Olivia had also wanted to go but their parents had forbidden it. Jen, who had only been seven at the time, had been very angry and stomped her foot and screamed before running up the stairs to her room and cried.

The following years neither Jen nor Olivia had been allowed to follow Peter to Diagon Alley when he had gone there before each school year. Their parents said that they didn´t want Jen or Olivia to become like Peter. They believed that if the sisters were allowed to go to Diagon Alley it was more likely that they would take after Peter.

They reached the car and soon the whole family had packed themselves into it and Mr MacAvity was driving away from King´s Cross station.

"Peter, you have to tell us about your year!" Olivia said excitedly.

"I´ll do it when we get home," he laughed as he ruffled her brown hair.

Jen and Peter had both taken after their father with golden blond hair and sapphire blue eyes. In fact, people always used to say that Jen looked like a younger girl version of Peter. Olivia, though, had taken after their mother with her forest green eyes and chocolate brown hair.

"But while we are waiting till we come home you can tell me about your year," Peter said and looked at Olivia expectantly.

Olivia immediately through herself into a long story about everything that had happened to her while Peter had been away, she told him about her friends, what she had been up to and how well she was doing in school.

Olivia had always been good in school; getting really good grades and she had it easy making friends. On top of that neither their parents nor any of the siblings had seen her do any accidental magic. It was no surprise that Olivia was Mr and Mrs MacAvity´s favourite child.

Before they knew that Peter was a wizard, he had been their parents' favourite. He had always been good in school and gotten the highest grades in his class, he was polite, and he had had a lot of friends and because they hadn´t known about magic no one had thought that the strange things that happened around him were magic.

Jen had always been the odd one out of the three siblings. She got okay grades but she didn´t have many friends, she actually didn't have any friends at school at all. She had also shown many signs of accidental magic, to her parent's great disappointment. Jen, though, was glad that she was showing signs of magic because she really wanted to go to Hogwarts.

Mr and Mrs MacAvity, on the other hand, hated the fact that Jen was showing signs of magic. Whenever she had done some form of accidental magic her parents tried to tell her not to do it again and often punished her, even though Jen tried to tell them she didn´t do it knowingly. Her parents never believe her and many nights she had cried herself to sleep after they had scolded her.

Suddenly Jen realised that Olivia had stopped talking so she looked up and out of the window and saw that they were nearly home. They had just drove onto Rose Street with it´s perfect three storey houses, the perfectly cut hedges and lawns and the expensive cars and if you ever were to walk into one of the houses it would be like walking into a furnishing magazine with perfect new furniture and shining surfaces.

Jen had always hated living here, everyone living here was rich and the only thing they cared about was their money and showing off their wealth to others something Jen couldn't care less about.

The house with a number seven on it that belonged to the MacAvity´s were no different than any other at Rose Street. Their cars were expensive, their lawn and hedges perfectly cut, and the house perfectly furnished. The only difference from the other houses was that it was different children in the pictures on the mantel piece in the living room and the children's rooms on the third floor, that they had furnished themselves.

Olivia's room was nearly all pink and was styled like a girl of nine would like, with loads of pictures of princesses and piles of stuffed animals. Peter had styled his room in blue and bronze so he could show that he belonged to Ravenclaw house at Hogwarts. He also had a lot of books that was stuffed in a quiet small bookcase, a large desk where he could do his homework and a place beside the window for his owl Popcorn.

Jen´s room was quite simple she had a big bookcase full of books, a desk for homework, an armchair by the window where she could sit and read and a fluffy red rug on the floor.

They parked in the parking space in front of the hose and everyone jumped out. Their parents and Olivia walked up to the house while Peter took out his trunk and Jen helped him with Popcorn´s cage. They climbed up the stairs to Peter´s room and he dumped his trunk at the foot of his bed while Jen put Popcorns cage on the desk and then let him out.

Just as Jen had let Popcorn out of his cage Olivia came running into the room.

"You know Popcorn isn´t allowed to be out of the cage," she said as fast as she saw him flying around the lamp in the ceiling.

"What mother doesn't know, doesn´t hurt her," Jen said. "Besides he has been locked up in a cage all day, so he deserves to stretch his wings a little bit."

Olivia nodded before she went and sat on Peter's bed; Jen followed her and sat down beside her.

"Can you tell us about your year at Hogwarts now Peter?" Olivia asked excitedly.

"Yeah! Please, Peter!" Jen said just as excitedly as her little sister.

"Okay, Okay!" Peter said laughing. "Well as I told you in my letters, I have been chosen to play Beater at the Ravenclaw Quidditch team."

"It´s you who´s beating at the Bludgers, right?" Jen asked.

Jen and Olivia had each gotten a book about Quidditch from their brother for Christmas in his first year, to their parents' great annoyance, and Jen had read it at least a thousand times since then, fascinated by the game.

"Yes, exactly!" Peter said with a smile. "We on the team trained really hard but we lost against both Gryffindor and Slytherin, but we beat Hufflepuff."

Peter proceeded to tell them about the things he had done with his friends during the year and then he finished his story by telling them about how Ravenclaw had come on third place in the House Cup after Slytherin and Gryffindor.

When he had finished telling them about his year Olivia gave a huge sigh.

"I wish I could go to Hogwarts," she said longingly.

"Yeah, me too," Jen said.

"Well," Peter said. "We can only hope that you get a letter."

It was quiet in a couple of minutes before Olivia said she was going down to help their parents with dinner and left the room while Jen stayed with Peter.

"So how has your year been?" Peter asked Jen as he put Popcorn back in his cage again.

"It has been quite good," Jen said. "Danvers and her gang hasn´t been that bad and my grades are actually better, even math."

Tracy Danvers was a girl in Jen's class that had bullied her since their first day at school. Tracy endlessly teased and made fun of Jen whenever she could. Tracy had a gang that always helped her bully Jen and all of them lived at Rose Street. Worst of all was that Tracy lived next door.

"And have you been showing any more signs of accidental magic?" Peter asked.

"I think I have," Jen said. "But mother and father don't know."

"Okay, what did you do?" Peter said smiling.

"Danvers was teasing me in the cafeteria again and I got a bit angry and suddenly she wasn´t in front of me anymore, she was at the other side of the cafeteria lying in the food trays," Jen said. "The teachers luckily didn't believe her when she said I pushed her, because how could I have pushed her over half of the cafeteria? And I promise that it was an accident, I didn´t do it willingly!"

Peter looked at her for a second before nodding.

"I believe you."

"Thank you!" Jen said and hugged her brother.

Just when Jen ended the hug, they both heard Mrs MacAvity calling that the food was ready and they walked together down the stairs to the bottom floor, where the dining room where, to eat with the family.
