Disclaimer: It's not mine, It's- Hey look! It's Draco Malfoy, bet he can tell us. Oi! Malfoy come here

Malfoy: Yes? Do you wish to praise my godliness?

GrYfFiNdOrZ GiRl: ummm, no, not exactly. I was wondering whether you could tell these nice people who your creator was.

Malfoy: Listen you filthy muggles, the person who made me and all my greatness-

GrYfFiNdOrZ GiRl: on the other hand, I'll just tell you, this all belongs to J.K. Rowling, not me

Chapter two

Danica heard the front door close and checked her watch to make sure. Yep, she was right, her parents had left for work and her sister was gone for the day. She jumped out of bed, knocking Jack off in the process. He gave her a grumpy look and lay down on the ground but jumped up, as she knew he would, and followed her as she went through the back door. She looked towards the castle and saw nothing moving, so decided to go towards it, hoping that nobody saw her practically sneaking onto the property. Technically, she wasn't supposed to be there, but Danica was never one for following rules. She tried to do her best at sneaking, but considering that a big black dog was following her, it was kind of hard to not be noticed.

She ran across the open ground and reached the front doors, slightly out of breath and opened them. She gasped in amazement. The front entrance was deserted. The ceiling was high, really, really high. Her footsteps echoed and bounced off the walls as she walked as Jack's soft pawsteps sounded through the room. It had a giant staircase leading upwards and another path leading down what looked like a stone path. She walked through a pair of double doors, leading to what looked like a dining area. There were four long tables with benches beside them. . There was a long table with chairs all along it at the front of the room. It was facing the other four tables in the room. The hall however, had a large ceiling, which showed the dreary weather outside. She thought that this all looked familiar, like she had heard or read about it somewhere. Could it be? No, it couldn't. That isn't true; it's just a story.

She headed out of the room and up the stairs. She didn't notice the whispering and moving portraits, because she was too busy thinking. She went up another flight of stairs and stopped in front of a portrait. It was of a fat lady, she was snoozing in her frame. Jack barked at her and she jerked awake.

"What do you want?" She snapped at Danica, sending a glare at her dog. Danica didn't answer, and the fat lady fell back asleep, mumbling about waking her up for no reason. Danica couldn't believe it. There she was, the fat lady. Danica had read about her being the entrance to Gryffindor common room in the books. . As she was standing there, staring like a dork, a redheaded girl came tumbling out through the portrait. Danica fell back as the girl slammed into her.

"Ohmigosh, I'm sooo sorry," said the redheaded girl as she scrambled to get up.

"It's fine," replied Danica absentmindedly. She looked back at the girl, who was still trying to pick her books up and offered her her hand. "Thanks," said the girl as she took Danica's hand. Danica stared at her for a second and then slowly started to recognize her. The red hair, the freckles, and the blush that was turning her face slowly red. She had to be, it couldn't be a coincidence. There was only one way to find out.

"What's your name?" Danica asked suddenly, stopping the girl's hurried apoligies.

"Oh, um Ginny, Ginny Weasley," she replied. Danica gaped, even though she had guessed correctly in thinking that she was Ginny Weasley. She quickly stopped and smiled. "I'm Danica, Danica Correy," she replied. Ginny gave an uneasy look towards Jack, and Danica gave a small laugh.

"He won't hurt you," she said to Ginny. She still looked uneasy.

"You can pet him if you want to," said Danica.

She reached forward and tentively pet him. He nuzzeled up against her hand and licked it. Ginny laughed.

Ginny smiled and said, "Nice to meet you. Um, your not in Gryffindor are you?"

"No, I'm not," replied Danica. She just then realized the oddness of it. She thought that muggles couldn't see Hogwarts, yet here she was, conversing with Ginny.

"Oh, have you eaten?" asked Ginny.

"I'm not hungry," replied Danica.

"Good, neither am I. Hey I haven't seen you before, are you new?" Ginny asked.

"In a way," Replied Danica. Ginny gave her a puzzeled look. "I'm kind of in a confused state right now," Danica said to Ginny's look. Ginny looked at her in an odd way again.

"Hey I gotta go, see ya later Ginny," Danica said. She took off down the stairs, waving goodbye over her shoulder, Jack chasing after her.

Once she got outside, she walked towards the lake and sat down by the edge of it. There was no doubt. This castle was, in fact, Hogwarts. Danica had, like every other kid in the USA, read the Harry Potter series. She sat now, at the edge of the lake she had read about with the giant squid and thought that maybe, this move wouldn't be so bad after all. She looked around and saw the forest with new eyes. It wasn't just any forest, it was the forbidden forest, and the little cottage wasn't just a cottage, but Hagrid's hut. Danica now understood why she had heard voices coming from the castle the day after they had moved there. It had been the students, not just any students, but witches and wizards. Her mind wandered back to how she could see all of this. She's not supposed too. She wasn't magical in any way what-so-ever, just a curious fifteen year old who gets in way too much trouble. She sighed, this really confused her, more than when she had first realized that morning that Hogwarts was real, and not just a fantasy. She walked back to her house and slipped in through her bedroom window. She had locked her bedroom door and left her window open so she could get back in and say that she was just sleeping.

She walked out of her room, pretending to rub sleep from her eyes.

"Have a nice sleep?" Her father joked. She gave a small smile and went to sit down on the couch. Before she could sit down, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," she grumbled. She walked to the door and opened it. On her front door step stood Albus Dumbledore. "Hello Ms. Correy, may I come in?"
