So, like I said, I lived in an orphanage. In charge was Ms. Beetlebay.
Weird name, I know. She had chesnut hair with gray coming in. Her eyes matched
her hair; brown? with gray flecks. She was short and had a round face, which
contrasted her thin, stick-like body.

     There were about ten other girls, but they never liked me. They always knew
I was different.

     One day close to my 11th birthday, I was sitting on my bed, fingering my
coins and staring at my family. I did this every Sunday, while the others did
things together.

     I always thought I looked like my mother. Our hair was the exact same
color, and so were our eyes. Since I looked like Mum, I imagined my brother
would look like dad, except I could see in the picture that he had Mum's eyes.

     That day was already different, Ms. B hadn't forced me to go to church.
Now, she knocked on my door.

     "Sky, you have someone here to see you. You have ten minutes to get ready."
Ms. B said smiling. I'd never had a visitor, so I was shocked.

     I put on a pair of nice jeans and a simple blue top. I brushed my hair and
pput it in a high ponytail. I managed all of that in about three minutes so I
sat down to compose myself.

     I half hoped it was Uncle Sirius, but knew it could never be him. In
exactly 7 minutes the strangest man I'd ever seen walked in.

     He had long white hair and a long white beard. His eyes were a piercing
blue, and they were evidently in shock. His clothes were slightly odd.

     "Who the bloody hell are you?" I said, not caring if it was rude.

     "I am Albus Dumbledore." The man spoke calmly, it was annoying.

     "I am Sky, Sky Potter." I told him. The orphanage hated that I used my last
name. His eyes widened.

     "How interesting, I knew a girl named Sky Potter, she was just a baby,
though." He told me that sincerely.

     "What happened to her?" I asked, he'd caught my attention.

"I believed her to be dead." He saw the money in my hand, and the photo on my
bed. " Who brought you here?"

     "My uncle Sirius, did you know him?" The letter said someone would come,
who'd think I was dead. They would know Sirius, and about magic.

     "I did." He was the one.

     "So, are you a wizard too?" I knew the answer already.

     He nodded and handed me a letter. "Someone will be by to take you to the
place to buy the things you'll need. There is some money in the envelope, and
the orphanage will give you more." He left looking upset.

     I was getting out! I read the letter with zero patience. This was gonna
rock, and maybe I could find my brother!

Hope you like it! So right now its kind of................. DULL, but it gets interesting. What does this chapter remind you of from the books? I didn't mean it to, but it did anyway. Oops! O well, I'm not gonna rewrite it. Don't worry Sky isn't a creaper! She's just sarcastic! Next chapter is her visit to diagon alley!

This is dedicated to my dear friend Loren! (@talongirl401) you should check her fanfic out! Or her poems!

Finally, only Sky and Ms.Beetlebay are mine, the other characters and Hogwarts are J.K. Rowlings! Thanks to her for writing such an amazing book!
