*Accidental Magic*
"Albus Severus Potter, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was the bravest man, I´ve ever known."
That scene, including the causes for this scene alone were wrong. Everything, beginning with the boy´s name seemed so wrong to Kataleya. Albus. Who names their child after a freaking manipulating fool? Apparently, Harry Potter does. But that shouldn't be. Albus Dumbledore was the reason for almost everything bad that happened. He was the reason for Harry living with the Dursley's and so for all the neglect and abuse Harry had to experience. But then again, Harry could have lived elsewhere. Sure, Lily Potter put the protection on Harry, but that one only worked, if Harry lived somewhere with love and where he felt at home. And that place was everywhere else, just not with the Dursley's. Dumbledore cast the Fidelius Charm, so he'd known that Peter Pettigrew was the Potters secret keeper, and not Sirius. He might not have known that Sirius didn't kill the muggles or that Peter was indeed alive the whole time, but still. He could have gotten Sirius a trial and then that would've come out as well. But his 'Greater Good' was apparently so important that Sirius had to break out of Azkaban and be on the run until he died by the hands of his own cousin, Bellatrix Letrange. That was also Dumbledore's fault. Had he hold Harry that Voldemort was able to control Harry's visions, Harry wouldn't have gone to the Ministry and Sirius wouldn't have died.
But that's not all. Ronald Weasley also played a big part In everything. Who marries that stupid git? Hermione Granger? Sadly. That arse was only friends with Harry because he was Harry Potter. The boy-who-lived. And his sister. Ginny also only married Harry because she was in love with the boy that made Voldemort vanish at the age of 15 months and again at the age of 17 years. And Molly. She shouted the platform number and all those things about muggles on the muggle train station, so that Harry could be friends with her youngest son. Ron was the reason that Harry was sorted into the house he doesn't even fit in. And that rivalry with Draco Malfoy wouldn't have been, if Ron wouldn't have told Harry those bad things about Slytherin. He would've made a great Slytherin, and great friends with Draco Malfoy and later with Hermione. Ron only saved he because Harry told him it was right. That git would've let Hermione there to die. Hermione deserved someone better. Draco, for example. And only him.
Kataleya would do everything to change that. But she couldn't. Magic wasn't real and so wasn't time travel. And even if magic was real, she most certainly wasn't a witch. Or was she? She didn't realize she was hyperventilating until her mother's favorite vase crashed against the wall and only a few minutes later everything was flying around the room under Kataleya's anger towards Albus Dumbledore, Ron, Ginny and Molly Weasley and fear of the room decorations. That wasn't possible. What was happening? Magic? No, magic wasn't real. Or was it? Kataleya suddenly remembered three situations of things that were only possible through magic.
*FLASHBACK*
"Mummy! Up!", the little two-year-old whined to her mother, but she was currently reading a book and shook her head. So the girl went to her father and asked for him to pick her up. But he also declined. So little Kataleya sat herself in the floor, pouting, and thought of a way to get into the arms of her mother. But she was reading a book. She looked at the book with absolut hatred and wished for it to vanish, and in the next moment, it was gone. It seemed to have vanished into thin air. Her mother Louise looked at her hands confused until her eyes fell into her only daughter. That girl still wanted to get onto her mother's lap, so she looked at her mother's legs and wished herself there. And there she was. She vanished from the place she was pouting earlier and appeared back on her mother's lap, who was still shocked by the sudden disappearance of her daughter and book, that she didn't realize what just happened. The young girl, in the meantime, was clapping enthusiastically and giggled happily. That got the attention of her father, who looked at her in confusion. "How did she get onto your lap so fast, Lou?" But the woman only shrugged. "She sat on the floor and suddenly my book vanished and the next second she sat on my lap." Marc, Kataleya's father, looked at his wife in shock, before shaking his head and turning back to the television.
The next scene showed a five-year-old Kataleya on her first day of pre school. She was really excited to finally learn to read, write and all that, she didn't realize she was being lifted up and put into her seat in the back of the car.
At the school she was brought to her classroom and the teacher explained all the rules. One of them was, not to talk without raising their hands. But after 10 minutes, the girl had to go to the toilet so badly, she just spoke up.
"Ms. Miller? MayI go to the toilet?" The teacher looked at her with disapproval and said, "No, Kataleya, you may not. You spoke up without raising your hand." And with that, the lesson continued. But Kataleya didn't let that get to her. She wanted to go to the toilet. Now. So she stood up and walked to the door, not caring that the teacher looked at her with an angry expression. Just before Kataleya could open the door, she heard a voice. "Kataleya. Sit down. You will not go to the toilet now. You spoke without raising your hand and you will not go without my permission." The little girl looked at the teacher with fury. She needed to go to the toilet now, or she would pee in her pants. She didn't care what her teacher thought of her. She just wanted to get out. She hated that teacher. She caught sight of and Miller's hair and suddenly, it started changing colors. First red, then orange, yellow, green, blue and lastly, purple. It changed the colors of the rainbow rapidly and the class laughed at their teacher. The teacher turned to her class but instead looked into the mirror that hang in the back right corner of the classroom, right above the sink. She saw her colored hair and screamed. Kataleya took that moment to leave the classroom as fast as she could to finally get to the toilet.
Last was at the zoo. It was on her seventh birthday and her parents decided to invite Kataleya's mean cousin, Blake, to go with them. He was already 12 and always made fun of his cousin. And now that Kataleya thought about it, it reminded her a bit of her favorite movie scene. They were at the reptile house, where Kataleya's favorite animals, the snakes, where held and she immediately ran to a cage with a green snake that was somehow shimmering blue in the light. She really really wanted to have this snake but she knew she couldn't. Because on the right side of the cage was a sign that clearly said, 'Highly venomous!' It was sad, actually. Such a beautiful snake and no one was allowed to touch or even go near it. So Kataleya took pity in the snake and walked past the barrier towards the snake. She looked over her shoulder. Her parents and cousin were at a cage on the other side of the room and couldn't see her. She turned back to the snake and smiled slightly. The snake looked at Kataleya curiously and blinked a couple of times. Then, as suddenly as it could get, it hissed, 'Hello...' Kataleya almost fell at that sudden sound, but caught herself. She then realized that it was the snake that was talking to her and looked surprised. 'You talk!' Now the snake fully perked up and looked just as surprised as Kataleya did. 'Of courssssse I do, Sssspeaker.' Speaker? As in, a parselmouth? Kataleya asked that to the snake and was actually kind of happy to see it nod. She could talk to her favorite animals. 'What's your name, beautiful snake?' 'My name issss Zzzuki. What's yours?' 'Beautiful ssssnake, beautiful name. Mine'ssss Kataleya, but you can call me Leya.' Kataleya was impressed. She was a parselmouth, just like Harry Potter. Did that mean that magic was real? It had to be, didn't it? Otherwise, how could a seven-year-old girl talk to snakes, if not through magic?
*FLASHBACK END*
Now Kataleya was completely convinced of the fact that magic was real. She only didn't know how to prove it to her parents. They were people that don't really believe in anything weird. They didn't hate it, they just didn't believe it and thought it was a joke. The decorations were still whirling around the room and Kataleya really tried to control it, but it only worked kind of.
'I'M HOME!' She heard her mother walk towards the living room and grew panicked again. When her mother would come in her, she would realize that all her decorations were flying around and her favorite vase was broken. But the panic she was experiencing only caused more chaos in the room and soon, Louise Anderson was standing in the door with wide eyes and an open mouth.
'Kata? What happened in her while you were alone?' The young 10-year-old looked down onto her lap and muttered, 'I think it's called magic...'
Her mother looked at her weird before bursting out laughing. Kataleya couldn't understand why her mother was laughing right now. She broke her favorite vase. But maybe it was just that Kataleya said magic caused the older woman to laugh. She seated herself next to her daughter on the couch and gave her a hug.
'Yes, honey. It's called magic. I was just so surprised that you only figured that out now.' Wait, what? Her mother knew of magic and didn't tell her? Was she a witch? If so, she possibly even went to school with Harry Potter. Why didn't she tell her that magic was real? 'Mum? Are you a witch? Can you fix this mess?' Her mother fortunately nodded and seconds later it was in its old state again. Even her mother's favorite vase was as good as new again.
'Explain!', Kataleya demanded and her mother sighed.
'I am a pure-blooded witch and I went to Hogwarts from 1990 to 1997, so I'm a year older than Harry Potter. But I also was in Hufflepuff, so we didn't really know eachother. The only thing was, I went to the Yule Ball with Dean Thomas and that only because no other girl was available, I guess. That was the only time, I even talked to him. But at the Battle of Hogwarts, my parents died and I was alone with your Aunt Louisa. She's a squib, you must know. I gave up my life as a witch and moved to the muggle world with Louisa. Since then, I didn't have anything to do with magic again. I never used my wand again until now, your father is a muggle and I didn't hear anything about the wizarding world in the last 23 years. Your cousin Blake, he's a muggle. Your Uncle Sean is a muggle and when a squib and a muggle produce a child, that child isn't a squib, but a muggle, since both their parents aren't able to do magic. Any questions?'
That was unexpected. Her mum was only a year above Harry Potter at Hogwarts and she didn't tell her? 'Does dad know?' Her mother shook her head sadly. 'No. As I said, I never had anything to do with magic after that, so I obviously didn't tell him. But I figured, I'd have to tell him soon, when you get your letter at the latest.'
Wow...she was a witch, her mother was one, too and her father didn't even know that his sister-in-law was a squib. What a life. A life that Kataleya was desperate to change. She really wanted to go to Hogwarts, but she also wanted to change the past, give Harry his parents back and save other peoples lives. But the question was, how should she do that? She couldn't just ask her mother, could she?
