Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! So sorry for the wait! I didn't have as much time to work on this as I thought I would, but don't worry, I'll try not to keep you guys waiting to long. I'm just having some trouble trying to get this story going in the write direction (Get it! Write direction... I know, I know. Bad pun, haha).

I know I have the whole story planned out it my head, but I'm struggling a little bit in trying to get to the place I want it to be. I'm thinking I need to work on making theses chapters longer and covering more events in each one. Also, just so you guys know, I did go back and change/edit some small details from the last three chapters, but nothing major.

Disclaimer: I do not own Girl Meets World or Harry Potter.

The Girl Who Lived:

Chapter Four

Riley awoke suddenly, gasping for breath. Another nightmare, she thought. Oh how she wished she could make them stop, or at least understand them. No matter, she just needed to take her mind off of it. Making up her mind, she slowly got up out of bed, deciding to go downstairs for a glass of water.

Once she came down the stairs to the main floor, she couldn't help but hear the hushed whispers of her Aunt and Uncle within her Uncle's study.

Riley, wondering why they would be up talking this late, carefully crept up to the door.

"- don't know why they won't leave us alone. I thought the letters had stopped, but then about a dozen more arrived just yesterday."

"Haven't their kind done enough, going and getting that sister of mine blown up!"

"Nebula-"

"No! I've had it. They made us take care of her all these years, when we wanted nothing to do with her, knowing that we have to send her to that wretched school just like Topanga!"

"We know what she is. It's why we never got attached. Let them take the darn kid, what does it matter?"

Riley heard loud footsteps.

"Neb, wait- " said her Uncle Mason.

Suddenly, Riley came face-to-face with her Aunt, who had just thrown open the office door.

"You!"

"So sorry!" Riley gasped, backing away, "I just wanted water, I didn't mean to-"

"Forget it! You know what? Fine! Take the stupid letter, God knows they've been piling up by the bucketful. Go to the school, for all I care, at least you and all of this magic business will be off of our backs! Not good for anything, your lot!"

"What?" Riley said, confused. "What do you mean, my-"

Her Aunt shoved an envelope into her hands. "But don't expect us to help you get to the darn place. You want to go to the school, you deal with it yourself!"

Her Aunt slammed the door shut again.

Riley, still trying to process what just happened, glanced down at the address on the envelope, hoping that it would help her understand what just happened.

From the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

To Miss Riley Matthews

The Attic

128 Oakbridge Lane

Greenwich Village, New York

It didn't help one bit.

The sun was rising, yet Riley Matthews still lay wide awake in bed, rereading her letter for what felt like the thousandth time.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbeldore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards)

Dear Miss Matthews,

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

Riley was completely and utterly confused. There was a school that taught magic? And her parents were somehow involved in it? But Riley knew she couldn't ask her Aunt and Uncle about it. They wouldn't answer any of her questions, judging by what took place last night, and whatever this school was, they were expecting her to get an owl. Just where would she get an owl? Weren't they nocturnal? If they never got an owl from her, would they never admit her to the school? And it was already past July 31st, her birthday, did that mean the letter arrived much before then? Her Aunt and Uncle had been hiding it all this time.

Riley sighed, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, trying to get a grasp on what was going on. Riley was filled with questions. Not to mention she had absolutely no idea where to retrieve the books on the book list either.

Riley knew she would not get any answers like this, and so resolved to get to the library first thing tomorrow. Or today, she supposed, since she could see the sun peeking over the clouds. But first, Riley thought, she would finally try to get some rest.

A/N: I'll have you guys know that I was this close to replacing Dumbledore with Feeny. I personally think having Feeny as headmaster of Hogwarts would be awesome. Sigh, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Once again, feedback would be great! Thanks for reading, everyone!
