Now Chapter 3 will introduce some very familiar characters into the story, if you had read the horror within, you may recognise these characters. Now, onwards with the story, Enjoy!)

The city was broken, the boy who lived died, the muggles were in chains and were dying, Sophie looked crazy and was standing with her parents, watching them kill muggles with glee. Sophie wanted to do it, she sees a young, scared girl, begging for her life to be spared. Sophie just smiles and then shouts out the killing curse.

I woke up with a start, sweat was pouring down my head, my hands were trembling and I was scared. Holy shit, what sort of dreams was that? It was a destroyed city? With a dark person, ruling over it. And me killing an innocent girl. Tears were forming in my eyes, I killed someone. No Sophie, snap out of it, it was just a nightmare, it never happened but why did I dream that. I stabbed out of my thoughts by a black sight. It was just the cat. Aw, it stayed with me. There was a loud grumble that came out of my stomach, no need to tell me that I was hungry.

"Y-you stay with m-me?" I asked the kitty. The cat responds by head butting my arm, by the looks like it said yes.

"Would you like to stay with me?" the cat just sat with me. "Well, if you're going to be with me, you going to need a name." But what do I call it? I pondered for a few moments before I came up with the perfect one.

"How about Little Bell?" I asked. It meowed happily, saying that it like the name.

"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" I freaked out at the sound of the voice and turned around and seen a young man looking down here at me. He didn't looked scary although I'm worried about that gun he was holding.

"Um, I-I-I was kicked out of the Orphanage I was staying at because I was a freak." I said.

"Those son of..." He trailed off, he looked back down at me and I was scared what he was going to say. "Are you Sophie Andrews?" He asked. How did he know my name. "Yes, t-that me." I answered.

"Oh thanks heavens, I've been looking everywhere for you." He said

"You were looking for me?" I squeaked out.

"Don't be scared, your not in trouble, as a matter of fact, we got a call just this morning that someone saw a young girl sleeping in this alleyway." My stomach grumbles again and I winced at the sound again.

"Geez, have you eaten anything?" He asked.

"Not for two days." I said.

"Aw, that sad, do you want to come with me? I know of a place that sells a brilliant breakfast." I wanted to protest but the growl in my stomach goes off. I just merely nodded and took his hand. Little Bell jumped on my shoulder and the man gave a small chuckle. "I see you made a friend." I smiled at his kind words. I couldn't believe what was happening. We walked a few minutes around London, until we reached a place called 'The Leaky Cauldron'. The man opens the door and ushered me inside. When we entered, It was dark and gloomy. A short man spoke up and I went closer to the bushy man. For some reason, I just feel safe around this man.

"Ah, Mr Nitro, usual breakfast I presume?" He asked. So that's his name.

"Actually, make that two please? And also get a glass of juice for the young lady, Tom." Nitro said. "The usual table"

"Of course, right away sir." Tom said

We sat down at the table and I looked the table, and then to the man. He spoke to me.

"I should introduce myself, My name is Thomas Nitro, soldier of the capital army."

"Well. It's nice to meet you but how did you know my name?" But before I get my answer, our breakfast arrived. It was massive. Bacon, eggs, tomato, sausages, chips, toast and a hash brown. I licked my lips and tucked in. Oh god, it tastes so good. It was my first proper meal for a while and man it was delicious. Then in the corner of my eye, I see a chair get lifted up and the plates were floating in the air. WHAT?! They were floating?! I heard a chuckle from Thomas.

"You not seeing things. That is real." He said.

"But it can't be. Magic isn't real." I said back.

"Really? Then tell me, did things happened? Did anything happened when you were angry or scared?" He askes me. I wondered and remembering all those times, I nodded.

"So I'm a witch?" I asked.

"Yes Sophie, you are." He said happily.

"So I can do all that?" I asked him.

"Yes" He said. He pulls out his bag and he looks down and pulls out a gold letter. He then hands it over to me and I look at it. It had a name on it.

Miss Lestrange

Dark alleyway

London, England

"I'm sorry. I think you got the wrong person. It says Lestrange" I said

"No it's not, your real name is Sophie Lestrange." I looked at him with shock. My name, my real name. "Well aren't you going to open it?" He said. I opened the letter and saw the nice handwriting on it.

"Wow. Hang on, where can we find all this stuff in London?"

"Don't worry, we are in the right place. Come with me." Thomas said. We got up and he took me to the back of the Pub and we stepped outside and all I see was a brick wall. I was about to question him but he started tapping certain bricks and they started to move. I was shocked. When they opened up, what I saw was breathe taking.

"Welcome Sophie, to Diagon Alley." He said with a smile.

(Author's Note – Ah yes. Sophie now knows about her actual name but still knows nothing about her family. There will be change between first person and third person. So next chapter, Sophie and Thomas walk through Diagon Alley, we will introduce certain characters into the story. Also, I got a surprise waiting for you all.
