This story is broken up into three parts: Pre-Hogwarts, at Hogwarts and Post-Hogwarts. It is now complete. There are some scenes in the epilogue that take place in the Cursed-Child world, just to try and address some of the things I saw wrong with it. This is OC heavy so if that's not your scene, don't complain, I warned you. I'd like to point out RandomMuggle (AKA RM) as co-creator, this was her idea to begin with.
Pre-Hogwarts
Chapter 1
Late September 1987
-
Most would say that it all began that day in the room of requirement, with the DA. Others will argue that it started when the girls received their Hogwarts letters. However, the beginning was even before the day they were accepted. The beginning was so quiet most didn't even notice that the story had begun. The story began on a sunny autumn day, with two 9 year-old girls and a swing.
Leilani was sitting on a swing, lonely, but enjoying the quiet, when she met Jo. Her content loneliness wasn't going to last long.
"Want a push?"
Leilani turned her head to see a tall girl with short, uncontrollable hair grinning at her. She gave a tentative nod, and the girl gave a gleeful shout. The girl grabbed the swing and began to twist it, winding it up. Before Leilani knew what had happened, the girl had hauled back and given the swing a mighty shove, and the world became a blur.
When the world stopped spinning and the rollercoaster came to a stop, the grinning girl was still there. Leilani hopped off the swing as fast as she could and opened her mouth to speak, when she realized her voice was sore from screaming. The girl wasn't fazed by her speechlessness. She easily sat on the tall swing and said,
"My turn!"
It was the beginning of a friendship that would rock the world.
It wasn't until that night when Leilani told her parents about her day that she realized she never got the girl's name.
