Chapter 3

Petunia Dursleys held the letter in her hand a while longer and her husband looked over to her and raised a quizzical eyebrow. She looked at him with sadness in her eyes and he took the hint. He gently patted Dudley's back and told him to go up to his room while he talked to his niece. Rose looked at her uncle. "Uncle Vernon?"

Uncle Vernon stared at the girl and sighed sadly, he didn't want to tell her that she was different, because he was starting to get close to the young girl and didn't want to lose her to those freaks. He say down in his favorite recliner and Aunt Petunia sat on the couch, while Rose sat beside her. Uncle Vernon was thinking of the right words to say to her and then cleared his throat.

"Rose, you aren't normal."

Rose looked at her Uncle confused at his statement. She looked to Aunt Petunia and she handed her the letter. Rose looked at the letter then glanced back at her aunt, who nodded her head and opened the letter to see beautiful calligraphy writing. She studied the letter in which it read:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall,

Deputy Headmistress

At first she didn't believe it at first, a school for witches and wizards, was this a prank of some kind to her family, or was it real? She stared at her aunt with a puzzled look and she nodded her head confirming that the letter was real and addressed to her. She dropped the letter, her eyes wide as saucers and Petunia wanted to pat the girl's back, but waited to see, if something might happen. After a few minutes the door got smashed in and in came a large, well giant, man with an umbrella in his hand. Petunia stood up and glared at the intruder, standing in front of her niece and Uncle Vernon beside her.

"It is rude to barge in without knocking, have you no manners."

"Who are you?"

Rose snapped out of her daze and looked to the large man, he had a log beard that took up more than half of his face, and shaggy curly hair that reminded her of a mop. She stood up and patted her aunt's arm and looked at the giant man.

"Ah, there ya are Rose, I am here to take ya to Hogwarts."

Rose looked to her Aunt Petunia and stood in her place. Uncle Vernon came near the man and tried to square himself to him to show him that he wasn't intimidated, and suddenly Dudley came running down the stairs and looked at the giant man and coward behind his mother.

"Rose, isn't going to that school for freaks."

"You best watch ye tongue. That school is for people with magic to learn how to control it. You never told her?"

"Told me what?"

The giant felt his anger boil up and glared at the Dursleys. "She is the strongest witch in all of the magical world and you never told her! You didn't tell her that her father and mother died protecting her from HIM!"

This made Rose's face turn pale white, she was trying to comprehend what he just said about her parents, when today in fact her aunt told her that they died in a car accident. Suddenly, the lightning bolt scar on her forehead began to cause her pain, but it showed her what happened that night. She saw a cloaked figure killing her parents with a green beam of light and saw him coming towards her and stared down at her with beady red eyes and aimed the green beam at her, but it deflected and hit him, killing him in the process and leaving the scar on her forehead. She gasped as it showed her what happened that night and she looked to her aunt, she felt betrayed by her aunt for telling her a lie about her parents dying in a car accident.

"How could you, Aunt Petunia?"

"I only wanted to protect you from getting hurt..."

"So, you lied to me to hurt me instead, you told me they died in a car accident, but in all actuality, they were killed by that arse of a man. How could you, you said you are protecting me from getting hurt, but have you realized that you lying to me about my mother and father's death was the thing that hurt most."

Aunt Petunia felt ashamed of her actions and Uncle Vernon looked at Rose, seeing the child's hair start floating around her head and Dudley started to get scared at his cousin. The giant quickly shielded the Dursleys before everything in the house came crashing at them from her uncontrollable power. Suddenly, after releasing all that energy, Rose's world became black and her body fell onto the carpeted ground with a gentle thud. The giant removed the protection spell and the family rushed to her side. Aunt Petunia rested the girl's head into her lap and stroked her hair.

"Well, that was unexpected. When she wakes up, I will be taking her with me to get her school supplies, but you can say your goodbyes before she leaves."

With that the giant man took his leave and the Dursleys gathered around the child, worried for her health. After a few hours, Rose awoke from her slumber and Aunt Petunia sighed in relief and hugged her niece. Rose looked around and saw she was in her room that was decorated with roses and red floral wallpaper. She looked to her aunt and still felt like she was betrayed by her, but then she realized that she acted irrationally. She sat up on her bed and sighed. Aunt Petunia patted her hand in apology and the girl leaned into her Aunt's shoulder.

"I am sorry Rose for lying to you, I just didn't want you to be like one of them. I am afraid of losing you like I have lost your mum to the wonderful world of magic, when I couldn't even do amazing things like her. Please forgive me sweetie."

"Aunt Petunia, I will not change who I am just because I know magic, I am still going to be me and I am coming back to show you what I learned and share amazing stories with you. I promise to be the same old me.

Aunt Petunia smiled and hugged her tightly, while they heard sniffling behind her and they turned to see the giant man trying hard not to cry and laughed lightly. Rose got up and packed up her trunk with her winter dresses and spring attire. After having her items packed and ready to go, she walked to the front door, and the Dursleys stood at the door frame and watched her. She waved goodbye to her family and she got onto the motorcycle and they flew off.
