Rebecca was sitting in her room as usual. she was studying for a test she had coming up in 4 days as she really had nothing else to do with her life. Nobody at the orphanage liked her and she wasn't allowed to go outside. The staff that worked there to take care of the children had not trusted her every since a boy named Johnny Fletcher had tell tailed on her for about the 100th time this year. The staff knew something was wrong about her. A knock was heard at her door and Kate, one of the cleaners , came in to tell Rebecca that she was needed down in reception. Suddenly Rebecca grew very excited as she thought that someone had finally came to ask to adopt her into her family. she bounced out of the room, ran down the hallway all the way to the main lobby. When she got there she saw a over talk bearded man looking down at her as she walk to the main desk.

"Rebecca Potter?" he asked in a gruff voice
"yes sir" she replied not talking like she was meeting a stranger which was weird as she was usually shy around other people because of past experiences. "I am Rubeus Hagrid and I wish to speak to you about attending a boarding school after the summer is over, the headmaster himself has requested you study there" His voice wad low but had a joyful tone to it. "okay would you like to speak to me now, I'm not doing anything"
"if that's alright with you"
"Mr Hagrid, Rebecca will lead you to the meeting room, just down the hall" Lisa the receptionist told him
"follow me" Rebecca said looking up at the giant like man

Once inside the meeting room the conversation began. "Rebecca I'm the game keeper and keeper of the keys at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry and you have been chosen to attend by the headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." he bellowed
" I'm sorry did you just say school of witch craft and wizardry" she said she said thoughtfully think that Hagrid was either really serious but an absolute loony "Yes I did, your a witch Rebecca, just like your Mother and your Father was a wizard"
"But there's no such thing as magic"
"There is, absolutely amazing thing magic but deadly in the hands of the wrong wizard or witch, it was the thing that killed your parents Lily and James Potter"
"My parents died in a car crash after I was born, I don't remember them at all" she said sadly
"A car crash is what you were told to believe but no they died at the hands of the most feared wizard of them all, everyone fears his name but he didn't couldn't harm you no all he left on you was the mark on your forehead."
"My God I never thought that was the reason, I'll go to Hogwarts and make my parents proud, when do we go" Rebecca squealed excitedly
"pack your things tonight and ill pick you up tomorrow morning okay" Hagrid said through his thick brown beard.
"I'll see you tomorrow" and with that Hagrid turned to the door and left the orphanage. Rebecca was the happiest she'd been in ages, she was going to learn magic and maybe discover the truth about her past she couldn't wait.

The next day dawned early and Rebecca grabbed her now fully packed trunk and head for the stairs. On her way down to the lobby she came across Johnny Fletcher strolling around the halls looking for someone to annoy and it looked like he'd just found the perfect victim. "hey Potter, where you off to in such a hurry. going to find some friends since you don't have any" he spat
"never you mind you idiotic parasite, just know that I won't need to put up with you any longer." and with that you swept past him and headed for reception. True to his word, Hagrid was waiting for her there talking to Lisa about something to do with umbrellas of some sort. " Rebecca ready to go" he said cheerfully
"always ready" she answered. Both her and Hagrid left the orphanage and for once she felt the sense of freedom come over her. she was ready to face a world a lot different then she had ever faced before she was as she said "always ready"

Later that day she found herself entering a creepy looking pub in London far away from her previous home. The sign above the door said "The leaky cauldron" Hagrid entered freely and keen while she trailed from behind anxious and to what she was getting herself in to. Inside was like magic had come to life. witches and wizards crowded the pub, some casting spells and others chatting joyfully with one another. Some wore pointed wizard hats and what looked like wizard robes. It was like her fairy tales had come to life. Hagrid lead her to a back room which looked as if to be completely deserted with a brick wall on the far side of the room in front of them. "Hagrid this place is amazing, is this where ill be staying until the summers over"
"yeah fantastic isn't it but wait till you see this"
With that her got out his umbrella and did and intricate and complex pattern tapping the bricks on the wall each once with the tip of the umbrella. After he'd done the bricks suddenly parted down the centre in a magical motion revealing what looked like a cobbled street bustling with witches and wizards both old and young. "Hagrid what is this place" Rebecca spoke looking stunned at the hidden streets
"Rebecca, Welcome to Diagon Alley"

"Why do I need to come here" she said staring around at all the different styles of shops on either side of the street. Each selling their own thing Brooms, wands, robes and books. "Why here is where you will buy all your school supplies and robes, oh I forgot here you are" he said reaching into his long brown coat pocket and pulling out a posh letter with the Hogwarts crest sealing the envelope. " its your Hogwarts acceptance letter, on the back contains the list of the supplies you'll need"
"But I cant afford this, I'm 11 years old."
"You need Gringotts, the Wizard Bank at the end there" he said pointing to a tall bank looking building standing tall over all the others.
Inside was really posh with counters lining the sides of the bank. Hagrid lead Rebecca up to the closest one and said "Rebecca Potter would like to enter her vault."
"And does Miss Potter have her vault key" It was a goblin with wrinkled ears and round oval glasses and he had an intimidating look. "here's her key" Hagrid replied, handing the a golden key over to the Goblin. "Follow me"
Apparently to get to the vaults, they had to board a train which was the worst ride of her life, bumpy and fast. They finally arrived at a small platform with a vault like wheel on the front. The goblin opened vault 817 to revel stacks of wizard money sickles, galleons and knuts. "This is mine" Rebecca murmured under her breath, stunned at the sight of so much cash. "Yes all from your parents"

After Rebecca had gathered up the money she needed she headed out of the bank and down the street to collect the school supplies she needed. Madam Makin's for school robes including 3 sets of plain school robes, a black pointed hat, a winter coat and a pair of dragon hide gloves.
Flourish and Blotts for the full set of school books and quills including ink. And other shops for cauldrons, telescope, brass scales and a set of glass or crystal phials. Now she was on her way to Ollivanders to find her a wand. "right this is where I leave you" Hagrid said "ill be back don't worry I just need to go and do something.
"okay Hagrid ill see you In a bit" you replied sadly.

The wand shop was empty all except for a boy with dark with dark black hair very much like her own. "um Hello " she said shyly "hi you getting a wand to" the boy replied
"yeah its my first year at Hogwarts"
"mine too, what's your name"
"I'm Rebecca, Rebecca Potter"
"Potter, did you just say Potter" the boy said almost stunned
"yeah why"
"I'm Harry Potter"
All of a sudden an old man appeared round the corner and a smile plastered itself onto his face. "Ah I was wondering when I would be seeing you Mr and Miss Potter, It seemed only Yesterday when your parents were in here getting their first wands."
"excuse me sir, But did you just say OUR parents" Rebecca said sheepishly
" yes I did you two are brother and sister after all" Mr Ollivander countered. " well lets find you two a wand. Rebecca and Harry stared at each other with a look of confusion on there faces. " here we are" the wand maker came back with 2 long boxes containing wands "Right we'll do Rebecca First, here you are" he said handing Rebecca a black wand with an leave pattern engraved into the wand. As soon as she gripped the end a bright light shone from the tip saying that she had found the right wand for her. "extraordinary." Ollivander spoke. " its not like one to find the perfect wand on the first time" he said gleefully. "This wand was made for very Powerful wizards Miss Potter, It is made from Black thorn wood and has the core of a dragon heart string and is unyielding a wand of great power indeed use it well.

And with that Rebecca collected her things and gave a small smile to the boy Mr Ollivander had claimed to be her brother and strolled out of the store and onto the street to find Hagrid waiting for her with a early birthday present. A brown and White owl sitting proudly in a cage. " oh Hagrid he's beautiful she cried "But I need to talk to you now please as there's a boy in there who Mr Ollivander claimed to be my brother. His name I Harry Potter please tell me, is it true.
Hagrid gave her a one word answer that would change her life forever and that one word was
"Yes"
