10 years. That's how long it's been since I've seen my dad.

Let me tell you where I've been the past 10 years.

At Grimmuald Place. I grew up with Kreacher, my grandma's portrait, and Remus Lupin checking in on me once a month. Kreacher basically raised me. I have lived alone all my life. I don't have any friends. I did go to school though. I don't know why. Remus made me. I've always known I was a witch. Remus told me. Dumbledore did too. He comes once a year, to check on me. Nothing really special. People always stay away from me because of the weird things that happen around me.

It seems like a sad life, but I don't mind, not at all. It's kind of lonely, but before dad left, he put in a T.V. And he decorated my room. It has dark blue walls and, as I got older, everything turned blue, red, and gold. I don't know why, I've always loves those colours. I have bean-bags of red and gold, bedspread and sheets of blue. I even have a desk that's blue. My closet doors are red and gold. It's I only know I'm a witch, I know nothing about the wizarding world.

I do know about my mother though. Her name was Julia Cruz. She was a muggle. My dad met her after he left Hogwarts in a pub. She was alone, and my dad, being my dad, hit on her. They hit it off, and my mother turned up 9 months later on his doorstep, with me in her arms. She left me here with dad, and disappeared. She died because of a miscarriage of a second child. She didn't want me. She knew how she conceived me, and hated me for it. So she dumped me on dad, and forgot about me.

I'm a carbon-copy of my dad. His black, curly hair, the shape of his face, his GREY eyes (A/N: JFC people! Sorry I said brown eyes!), even the way he holds himself, I have all of that. Remus told me I even have his devious mind and his prankster ways.

Today is July 8th. My birthday. An owl tapped at my window. I dropped my book on my bean-bag and crossed my room to the window. I threw it open and the owl flew in. On its claw, it held a letter- my Hogwarts letter. "Kreacher!" I called. He appeared in the room. "Go get Remus Lupin! Now!" He disappeared with a "Yes, Mistress Bailey." I grabbed the letter from the barn owl and it flew out the window, and I slammed it shut. I ran downstairs to the drawing room, with the letter clenched in my hand.

Remus appeared in the room with Kreacher. "Bailey! What's wrong? Are you alright?"

I looked at him excitedly. "I'm great!" I said. I held up the letter and squealed.

"OH! Well, open it Bails!" He grinned and encouraged me. I opened the letter. It said:
