The shape, a bearded man no less than 7 feet tall, stumbled in clumsily followed by a taller more regal looking woman.

Harriet was now shaking all over. "Get OUT! You are illegally breaking and entering my -"Uncle Vernon was livid.

"Come off it, Ursley." The man dropped his umbrella onto the floor.

"Where is Harriet? " the woman said, adjusting her tall pointed hat.

"You dont want that filth! "Uncle Vernon spat.

"Im here." Harriet said, crawling out from the corner.

The womans no nonsense face twisted into a small smile. "Miss Harriet Potter. The last time we saw you, you were only nine months old. Of course, you had just been rescued from the wreckage of your parents home in Godrics Hollow. " the woman lowered her head.

"I dont get it, maam. What does it mean? I mean, my parents died in a car crash. "Harriet said.

"Car crash? CAR CRASH? "Hagrid swiveled to face the Durselys. "No car crash kills LILY AND JAMES POTTER! "

"I mean this, Harriet. "The woman handed Harriet a yellowed envelope with green ink on it addressing it to Miss Harriet Potter, The Floor, Hut-On-The-Cliff, The Sea.

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss Potter,

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

"Witchcraft? Wizardry? "Harriet asked.

"Harriet- yer a witch." Hagrid said, suppressing his anger.

"I-I-Im a what?" Harriet said, instantly white. The scar seemed to flare on her pale complexion.

"A witch. If yeh were a boy, yeh would a wizard. "Hagrid repeated. Harriet couldnt belief that she, a slightly ragged and skinny girl wearing a gray t-shirt and shorts that were too big for her with a scar piercing her forehead, was magical.

"NO!" Uncle Vernon raged. "When we took her off the porch nine- "

"Ten." Professor McGonagall corrected.

"Ten years ago, we were going to stamp it out of her. Witch indeed..." Uncle Vernon seethed.

"If anyone has that freakiness, its our Dudley. Im related to Lily. And Dudley is much more amazing than her." Aunt Petunia said whilst giving Harriet a firm palm on the side of her head.

Immediately, an invisible hit Aunt Petunias head.

( A/N: Whoever guesses right in the comments what Michael Jackson video I referenced get to help me on a secret mission. CONTEST TIME!)

"She isnt going away and were not playing for some old CRACKPOT FOOL to teach her MAGIC TRICKS! "Uncle Vernon roared.

This was Hagrids breaking point. "DONT INSULT ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN FRONT OF ME! " Hagrid yelled. There was a mighty crack and a blue flash.

Dudley was now screaming bloody murder. There was now a long curly pigtail poking out of his pajama trousers.

Uncle Vernon quickly rushed them into the second and only other room in the hut. "Freaks! " he cried before slamming the door.

"Hagrid! Magic! In front of Muggles! "Professor McGonagall said in shock. "However, it was an excellent transfiguration, so I wont tell that rotten Ministry. "

"Now, Harriet. Happy Birthday. Sorry if I mashed it a bit." Hagrid said, withdrawing a slightly flattened white cardboard box. Harriet opened it . She had seen this many a time on the Durselys kitchen table, but she was never allowed a taste.

A birthday cake with copious amounts of blue, pink and green frosting. On top, along with some brownie crumbles in green frosting was, " Happy Birthday, Harriet."

"Thank you. But...I dont think Im magical, Hagrid. Professor, you must have the wrong person." Harriet said sadly. Though she wished it was real, this had to be a dream.
