Harry Potter Fan Fic-Part 1- After Harry's death

She threw her books onto the table and stormed off into her room. She only had a few days left until the end of the year, and then she could go to high school, a new school, new students, and a new social life to change. Her high school hadn’t yet been chosen yet, it was as though her parents were waiting for something, but it was ok since only one of her friends had chosen a high school. Kade was already signed up for St Bartholomew High, but Peter and Kayla had not chosen, nor had her parents let her.

She walked out of her room and stood in front of the phone, as soon as she paused the phone rang and she picked it up instantly.

“Hey Kat, Kayla here. This is Katariina right? I forgot I was meant to wait, but you always answer the phone. How do you do that by the way?” Kat nodded for the first question and shrugged for the second, somehow Kayla got the message.

“Sorry Kat, I just chose what school I’m going to and I’m afraid they are …well… kind of hard to get into.” Kat could hear her fiddling with paper and an owl screeching in the background? In the other room her parents were talking.

“What if our daughter is a squib?” Kat turned her attention to the phone again.

“It’s alright Kay, we’ll still see each other in the holidays anyway, besides it’s school, you might pay attention without me there. I have to go, see you tomorrow.” She hung up the phone knowing that Kayla had probably already done the same thing. She walked to the door leading into the lounge room where her parents were talking. Her mother sounded like she was arguing.

“I don’t care, she is still my daughter, I love her anyway.”

“That is beside the point, we don’t want a squib in the family.” Katariina walked into the room.

“What’s a squib?” Both of her parents froze and slowly turned to face her, each hoping that the other would come up with some excuse. Luckily neither of them had to, because it was at that moment that an owl, no less, came flying down the chimney with a letter in its beak. Katariina didn’t understand a thing of what was going on but her parents seemed very pleased about the sudden appearance of a bird. They both hugged her and the bird flew over to her, she tried to take the letter off it with her arms pinned down by her parents. Before she could even open the letter her mother reacted.

“You got in! I knew you would Kaija, I knew it! I told you she would.” Her Father looked across at her mother.

“Keep your voice down. Congratulations Kaija!” He was barley containing his own voice, they were both obviously over excited about the matter. She managed to unfold the letter to reveal a letter of acceptance to a place called Hogwarts. She let the next page that was carefully folded into the envelope fall out into her hand. It was a list of items needed for her to go to this school, at the top of the list…a wand? What on earth was this place that she was expected to go to school?

Her parents eventually unwound their arms from around her and her mother walked over to a locked cupboard that she had never seen opened before. When the padlock fell off it the cupboard practically exploded and all sorts of things tumbled out. As her eyes sorted through the things lying on the ground in front of her she realised that everything on the list was there. She dropped the list and picked up a stack of books, she turned away from the rest of the room, still not sure to make of the situation. She walked down the hallway back to her room, instinctively picking up the phone on her way. She threw the books onto her bed and looked to the phone, where she had already begun dialling Kayla’s number. She heard her friend Pick up the phone, her voice at least an octave higher then usual in excitement.
”Hello?”

“So…going to Hogwarts are we?” There was a pause on the other end of the phone as Kayla processed these words.
“You got in too! I can’t believe it! I didn’t know you were a witch?!”

“I’m not Kay. This is ridiculous. Magic isn’t real.” Katariina could tell that Kayla disagreed, and after much persuasion she agreed to seer this practical joke through. Though Kayla was convinced that she would end up believing in magic, it was, apparently, hard not to believe what is in your blood.

Katariina threw the phone down, as tempting as it was to call Kade and tell him about what had happened, but somehow it felt wrong, besides if she didn’t believe it then why would he be able to explain it to her? So instead she picked up one of the books out of the pile and began writing down spells and charms that caught her attention. She realised that only about half of them were on the list from what she could remember, and none of the interesting spells were in the books she was meant to be reading. She picked up the wand, which really did look just like a nicely carved stick, and gave it a random wave. Her room imploded in on itself and her parents came running in. They saw her standing in the middle of her now completely destroyed room, with her wand in her hand and a shocked look on her face. Her father looked around the room and pulled out his wand. With one wave it was all back to normal.
“ Welcome to the world of magic, we’ll get you a new wand tomorrow, that one obviously isn’t meant for you.” Katariina nodded vaguely, now completely convinced that magic was real, that or she really had lost it.

Around that time Kade was trying to explain to his parents about the owl that had landed on their porch not knowing why himself, stuttering for some excuse for the letter adressed to him. And Peter’s father was hoping that Peter would be in the same house he had been in while his mother smiled, not really understanding a thing about magic.
