The Girl Who Lived:

Chapter Three

Riley was exhausted. They had just returned back home from the middle school. As soon as they had arrived at the school for orientation, Riley was left alone to her own devices. This ended up in Riley frantically running around the school to pick up her schedule and figure out where all of her classes would be. Riley was just thankful they had stopped for some lunch on the way back, she had been starving. And now that they were back, Riley could get some rest.

However, as soon as they arrived, Riley could tell something was off. She walked inside to see her Uncle with a solemn expression on his face, a paper clutched in his hand. Her Aunt Nebula's face immediately paled.

"Riley! Go up to your room!"

Riley started, surprised at being addressed so suddenly, if even at all.

Her Aunt Nebula turned towards her now. "Riley! Up! Now! Missy, you too."

Riley, confused at the sudden turn of events, turned and stumbled up the staircase. Missy was about to argue, when she caught the expression on her mother's face. She huffed and followed Riley up.

"You know," Missy said as she barged into Riley's room. "I know what day it is today."

Riley simply continued reading her book.

"Hey!" Missy whined. "I said I know what day it is.

"Yay for you," Riley muttered in response.

"Today's your birthday," Missy said smugly. "I bet that's why mom and dad are upset. They rather pretend you didn't exist. Heck, no one in the entire sixth grade knows you exist."

"Are you done, Missy?" Riley said. "You know your parents won't like it if they see you up here."

Missy, for once, decided to leave her alone, fully aware of how her mom was acting earlier, grumbling about why her teasing isn't affecting Riley, like usual.

The truth was, today, of all days, Riley wasn't in the mood to placate Missy with a response. Normally, Riley would get upset and pretend to brush it off so Missy and her friends would lave her alone, but Missy always saw through her. But today, Riley didn't even feel upset, she just felt tired.

But she couldn't rest. Why did Aunt Nebula send both her and Missy upstairs? Was something wrong? Riley, certain she wasn't going to get any answers this way, resumed reading, hoping to take her mind off of it all.

A/N: I know in the show Riley's birthday is on December 8th, but that unfortunately wouldn't work with this story, so her birthday is going to be on July 31st, like Harry's was in HP. Sorry if that bothers anyone! However, like in GMW, she is still going to be youngest one out of her friends.
