Chapter 2

Taylor woke up the next morning completely oblivious of what had happened the day before. When she opened her eyes, her heart sank at the thought of it all being a dream but when she sat up her hopes raised. A trunk lay at the foot of her bed. She had packed half of it the night before so she excitedly got up and started to pack. By around midday she was dressed and on her bed lay a fully packed trunk and her bag with her phone, money and wallet and other 'essentials' just in case… Taylor stood in an unusual clean bedroom looking around and realising that she wouldn't be coming back till Christmas. She then dragged her trunk to the front door to wait the arrival of Hagrid. She was both anxious and excited. Her mother was sitting in the lounge room staring at her.

"Don't worry mum. I will be back for Christmas and I will try to write to you every week." She exclaimed, walking over to her mum.

"Yes, well it's strange to think that we have a witch in the family AND you are actually my daughter but from a different dimension. I think it's going to take me some time to get used to that."

"I will talk to Dumbledore about it." She replied. "Maybe your 'original' Taylor will come back."

"Maybe." There was a knock at the door. Both of the girls looked up anxiously. Taylor practically ran to the door, excitement glittering in her eyes. She opened the door and looked up to see a half giant staring down on her. A smile bloomed across her face.

"'Ello, my name is Hagrid."

"I know." She answered with her smile getting bigger.

"Well, we 'ad better be on our way. Dumbledore 'as given me special permission at apparate you to Diagon Alley, so quickly get your things and we'll be on our way." He instructed her. She walked, well strutted, into the house and hugged her mum.

"Bye Mum." She said, starting to feel down.

"See you, or the original Taylor, at Christmas." She said. Taylor dragged her trunk out the front door where Hagrid picked it up like it was as light as a feather and lead the way as Taylor had one more look at the house. Hagrid advised her to hold onto his arm and they apparated into Diagon Alley.

Once they had bought Taylor all of her books, her cauldron and robes (although she didn't know her house yet, but she still had to buy black robes), they headed for Ollivanders. When they entered the shop, they were greeted by an old man. It was, naturally, Ollivander himself. Taylor got an ivy wand with a peacock feather. It was light brown and had a strange design on the handle. She held it as though it were glass. They next had to get an animal. She decided on an owl…and a cat.

"I just can't decide." She told Hagrid.

"That's 'all 'ight. Just get 'em both." He assured her. So she did. While they were walking around they saw Harry, Ron and Hermione walking towards the pet store, and as Taylor knew that, that was where Hermione would get Crookshanks. She smiled to them friendly, while Hagrid gave them a cheesy grin and a massive wave. They then saw Draco Malfoy. He stared in Taylor's direction and Taylor, in return, gave him an icy glare. He gave her another in return but they kept walking past each other. They then went back to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Why are we going in here?" She asked.

"To wait 'fer Dumbledore. He is going to take us to Hogsmead and then 'ter 'Hogwarts." He told her as he dragged her to a free table. They ordered some pumpkin soup while they waited. Half an hour later, a man with a white beard glided next to them. Taylor turned to smile at the old man.

"'Ello headmaster." Hagrid spluttered through his mouth full of the soup. Taylor laughed at the embarrassed expression on his face.

"Hello Hagrid." Dumbledore informed him, smiling. "Are you both ready to go?" They both nodded and paid for the soups and then held on to Dumbledore's arms and apparated into Hogsmead…

Hogsmead was a small village just a little way off Hogwarts. Taylor could see the castle in the distance, as her heart started to pound excitedly and as fast as a cheetah.

"Welcome to Hogsmead!" Dumbledore informed her. She smiled happily as they made their way up to Hogwarts, where her dream home was waiting for her…
