"I'm home!" Ella shoved her house keys into her pocket and closed the door. She went in to the kitchen and slid her backpack off onto a chair.
"Hey there hon." Mrs. Weasley came in from the living room. "How was school?"
"Pretty good. Oh, I have this project on family history. Could you help me?"
"Of course. My show just ended." She sat beside Ella at the table who had pulled out a pencil and paper.
"Okay." Ella started. "Help me make a family tree."
She drew her fathers family first. He'd had lots of brothers and sisters and they knew who his parents, grandparents and great grandparents were.
Then she came to her mothers family. "Mom, what are gramma and grandmas names?"
"Ella and Hugo Weasley."
She scribbled the names down. "I'm named after gramma, right?"
"Yes."
"What were grandpa's parents names?"
"Ron and Hermionie."
Ella wrote that down too. "Okay. That's all I need to know right now. Thanks." she kissed her mom on the cheek and went upstairs to her room.

Ella was in the strange house again. She was sitting at the table across from the figure.
"So you've come back." It spoke.
"I didn't mean to." She whispered "This is a dream."
It laughed quietly. "Smart girl. Usually when I'm in peoples dreams they think it's all real."
"H- I mean, you come into peoples dreams often?"
"Yes. I like to give people gifts. Like I've given to you."
"How did you give this to me?"
"I am a wizard. And I thought that since you didn't have powers, you'd like to fit in with the rest of your family."
"F-f-fit in? What do you mean by that?"
"I mean your parents have powers. Your grandparents have powers, your great grandparents had powers, your great great grandparents had powers and so forth." It looked at Ella's frightened face. "I now presume that you didn't know that."
"No. I didn't know that." Ella stuttered. "It's not true," she denied. "Mom's never lied to me, never kept a secret from me… I can't- I don't believe it."
"When you were born a muggle, your parents decided there was no reason for you to know they were wizards."
"No." she yelled. "No, you're lying!" Without thinking, Ella ran her arm across the table and knocked the crystal ball off the table. It shattered into millions of glass splinters and Ella ran out of the house. She kept running and running, unttill she couldn't anymore. She fell down on her knees. She panted and laid on the dirty, leafy forest floor. She closed her eyes. She heard footsteps. She opened her eyes and sat up. It was silent for a moment. Then the footsteps started again. They came closer to her and soon a young girl was standing a few feet away from her. They just stared at eachother. The girl had wavy brown hair. She was tall and very beautiful.
She tilted her head and stared at Ella. "Ella?" She spoke in an english accent. "Ella Weasley? Is that you?"
"Ya." Ella spoke.
"Oh my goodness." her hands crossed over her chest. She ran towards her and wrapped her into a giant hug. "My goodness me. My great grand-baby!"
