_____Intro_______

It was a beutiful house. Everyone loved it.
The people that lived there were a little strange. They were very nice though.
They had a son in my age. We moved after the attack, that only the son survived. I never saw the beutiful house again. Mind you I was only one at the time. I have a picture of a familly standing there, infront of the beutiful house, The Mother is holding her son. Noone knows about this photo. We live in magnolia cressent now, not far off from Privet drive. Right next to the park. When I went to primary school, I think I met the son.
He was a poor boy. Very quiet and kind. I would have gotten to know him better but he was always beeing chased by his stupid ugly cousin. Anyway Mum and Dad warned me from the strange boy. After primary school I never saw him around. I hear roumors thou. Roumers that he goes to st.Brutus's. I cant beleve that the sweet boy could go so wrong.

*******************Chapter 1. Pictures of old.

My stupid Parents told me to go to my room. I somehow managed to melt the silver doornob.

I don't know how I managed. I just held onto it and it melted in my hands. I climed out of my bedroom window after I locked my door. I left the key in there. My parents can't open it now.

I stuff some clothes under my bedsheets. Anyone that looks into my window will think im sleeping.
So anyway I climb out of the window in my room and close it leaving one cenitmeter open so I can get back in.

I have the Photo of the family in my Hand. I like looking at it when im angry. It calms me down. I know its stupid, but I think they were magical.

I think im magical.

Thats the only way I can explain how I melted that doornob. I walk towards the park.

Theres a Boy about my age sitting in the only swing that stupid Dudley Dursley hasn't broken.

He looks a little like the boy from school . I remember him from school. I cant remember what his name is.

I heard it once in my whole life. The boys appearance isnt all that thrilling. He is wearing a large, baggy and strongly faded t-shirt. His jeans were too big for him and toatally ripped.
His trainer's soles were peeling from there uppers.

I go over to him and he lookes up at me. "Hi. Can I sit there." I ask him. "If you manage to fix it."

He sais waving his hand carelessly at the broken swing. Exept......It wasn't broken. I sat down on it. We both look at the ground. I pull out the photo and look at it.

"You go to st.Brutuse's, dont you?" I ask the boy absentmindedly. I think its the boy from school. "Yeah.."
He answeres.

"Do they hit you alot there?" I ask him with pity in my voice. I think he's lying at me. "Yeah, all the time." He sais. "Where do you really go to school?" I ask him. I dont know why I asked him that. "Thats none of your biso.."

He tells me shortly.
I look back at the photo and for the first time of my life, I notice a sign on the door. I squint at it and manage to make out the words. "Godrics Hollow"
I mutter. What? "What?!" The boy asks me. I dont know why I show him the photo.

I just do. "I says it on the sign on the house there."
I tell the Boy. He Takes the photo of me and Stares at it. Then he stares at me. "Where did you get this photo?!" He asks angrily. "I've had it for as long as I can remember..."
I tell him. "You have had A picture of my parents as long as you can remember..." He askes me saking with fury.

"Its not possible....They cant be you parents.
There the Potters! I doubt that your name is Potter."

I spit back at him. Why was he getting so angry over a photo? I didnt get it.... "My name is Harry James Potter!" He hisses at me. I freeze. "You cant be.....Not that little boy that survived the attack!" I choke.

He gets up and goes to walk away. He still has my photo. "Hey give me back my photo!" I yell after him. I run after him. I grabb the photo out of his had but his gripp is surprisingly strong. It rips in half. I Burst into tears of anger. I feel as if red hot sparks are running down my Hands.

The boy stares at me. "What?!" He stutters as he stares at my hands. I look down at them. There are red sparks flying across them. "How do you do that?!" He asks me.

"You'll just think im crazy if I tell you!" I choke again. "No I wont!"
He splutters insulted. "I think I can do magic..."

I tell him after what seems an age. "How old are you?" He asks me, "15 turning 16." I tell him.

"Me too.."He tells me when he was born. "Im born then too!" I say quietly. He asks me no further. "I have to go home." He says. "Bye. Goodnight."I say.

**********Chapter 2. coming to get me

I didnt see the boy that ripped my beloved Photo the next day, or the day after that.

I locked myself in my room thinking. I realized that I had nothing incommon with my parents. I had nothing that made me look the tinyest bit like them.

I didn't tell them about this doubt of mine, They were always very touchy about this subject. Well any way, its day three since I met Harry Potter. Im trying my best to repair my photo. My window has been flung open and a cool breeze is tempting me.

Suddenly a Snowy Owl lands on my windowsill. Stange... Theres something tied to her leg. I slowly try to get it, and to my surprise the owl holds out her leg willingly.

I untie a small piece of parchment from the owls leg. Parchment.....Strange...
The owl hoots and flys away again. I unroll the parchment and read it.
It read:

I told the others. Were coming to get you now. Stay where you are.
Harry

It was all that was on there.
I sat there thinking about what had been scrawled onto the parchment.
5 minutes later someone is standing at my window. The person cleares his throught.

I jumped, looked up. Its Harry. Acomppanied by the strangest asortment of people I have ever seen. One young looking woman with short purple hair. She is wearing a t-shirt that bore the words:
The Wierd Sisters Then I see a young looking man. His Face was tiard and his short hair was already going grey.

There is also a grundgy looking bloke there smoking a pipe. It stinks awfuly.

I pull a face at the smell. "You might want to put that out Dung. Or she'll never come with us."
The young woman smirks. 'Dung' puts out his stinking pipe and grunts.
"Whats your name?" The young man with the greying hair asks me.

"Lori.." I say. "Ok, Lori this is Mundungus Fletcher, Tonks and im Remus Lupin." The man says. Harry smiles reassuringly at me. "Where do you want to take me?" I ask Harry. "Where you belong." Tonks tells me.
I make a scared face. "Dont worry we wont force you to come"
Tonks sais.

"What do I have to take with me?" I ask eager to see where 'I belong'. Harry climbes in the window ans Tonks follows him quikly. "Anything you'll miss?" Tonks asks me kindly. I go to get the photo. "Just this." I say. Tonks pulles out a long thin piece of wood but Harry stops her from doing anything with it.

"Maby Lori should try.."He sais girnning broadly. "Try what?" I ask. "Lori, just try and concentrate on a trunk to pack your things in....." Remus sais from out the window.

I try. I close my eyes and concentrate on a trunk. "Cool.." I hear Tonks say. I open my eyes and see a large trunk infront of me. "Did i just do that?" I ask Tonks grinning. She nodds and Remus sais: "I see what you mean, Harry.

She has the gift I only knew one wich to have."
Tonks fiddles around with the piece of wood in her hands. "This my dear, is my wand.....I'll show you what it can do..." She sais, She flicks it around and suddenly all my clothes jump out of my dresser and into my new trunk.

"So....Lets go." Harry sais as Tonks makes the trunk fly out of my room. I clamber out. "What about my parents?" I ask. We sent them a letter. You dont like them too much do you, eh?" "No not really. they never loved me. They always said I'll get tangled up with the wrong sort of people." I told tonks. I wait for Harry to clamber out of my room. Tonks comes after him.

I somehow have a good feeling about this. I trust Harry and these adults. I dont know why. Harry takes my hand and leads me over to some peculier looking brooms. "You can ride on my broom with me." Harry sais. I stare at him and he smiles.

"Magic.."he sais. Tonks
tys my trunk to her broom. I get onto Harrys broom clutching his waist. On his broom it sais "Firebolt". It is fantastic. We take of and I feel the rushing of wind in my ears.

[Lox13]

**********chapter 3. Nr 12 with Ron and Hermione

I called out with glee as I cluched Harrys waist tight. "Can I go faster?" He asks me grinning. "Sure! How fast can it go?"
"This fast!" He speeds up. I hold him tighter, so I dont fall of the broom.
"This is so cool!" I yell over the rushing of the wind.
**************

Three hours later we arrived at a shabby looking place. I'm soaking wet.
Harry had to fly through some clouds, and ofcourse that got us soaking.
Remus handed me a note. It reads:

The order of the phoenix is located at nr.12 grimauld place.

I read through it." Just concentrate on what you just read." Harry tells me.
I do, and instantly Between nr. 11 and nr. 13, nr. 12 seems to be blowing itsself up. We enter quietly and close the door. "What are we doing here?"
I ask looking at Harry. "Shh"
"Sorry"

Next thing I know is that lights had turned up and two young people come over to me and Harry.

Tonks, Dung and Remus trudge of. "Harry, Hermione and Ron will show you around.
And we'll come and get you for tea when it ready. Then we'll explain everything to you." They tell me.


Once out of earshot of all adults Ron looks at us : "So...Harry, this is your new girlfriend....." He tauntes. "Yep!" Harry sais brightly, as he swings me forward and peckes me on the lips.

I go bright red.
He and Ron crack up. Hermione turnes to me.
"Dont bother about them. There being stupid.....Again. Harrys just like his Dad.
You'll see.
And mind you, as far as I know, his dad would have done something like that too."

She tells me. I give her an unsure smile. "Thats how we found out about, me and my.....Well....My gift. I have a Photo of his mum and dad."

"Your power. Yes he told us about the photo." Hermione sais.
She takes my hand and leads me around the house,
showing me certain rooms and things. Harry and Ron follow us still laughing.

"I think I will play a little prank back." I tell Hermione. "You do that! It'll serve them right! But be carefull harrys really good at that kind of thing. As I said, He takes after his Father."

Hermione replies. I glance over my shoulder and see a wierd Leg thing as an umbrella stand.

"Thats a trolls leg. Use one of the umbrellas to poke them or something." Hermione smiles. I nodd and concentrate.

"Ouch!""Hey stop it!" I hear from behind me. "Ok, but you asked for that one!" I say smiling widly, but not looking back.

"Oh! That was you!" Harrys voice sounded.

"Yep!" I giggle. "You'll pay for that!" Harry laughed. I dont take him siriously. They show me The girls room.

It looks pretty shabby. I glance over to Harry and see him ruffle his hair.
"His dad used to do that ehen he wanted to impress girls." Hermione wispers in my ear."I think he likes you."

I giggle at the thought. Harry is an ok kind of guy. I look over to him and he smiles at me.
I go red again.

Soon after that we went down to diner. The food smelt great. "Mrs. Weasley is a really good cook." Harry tells me. I giggle again, because he had just tickled me in the back.

"Hmm, ticklish are you? Now I've got you!" He wispers slyly.

I sit down next to Tonks and Harry sits down next to me. Tow young men with flaming red hair sit down next to Harry. "Hey Lorie! I'm George!""And I'm Fred" They say. "Hi." I mumble quietly.

I dont like all that attention. Everyone is smiling at me. "At least there smiling." I think to myself. Mrs. Weasley comes over to me and smiles: "Hello dear, I'm Mrs. Weasly." She sais piling food onto my plate.
The table was full of food and all the chairs were taken.

They all told me what there names were.

Arthur Weasley, a balding man, but the hair he still had was flaiming red.

Bill Weasley is a young man, quite tall with his, also, flaming red hair drawn back to a ponytial.

Charlie Weasley, also with flaming red hair. Fred and George Weasley, twins, short and stocky.

Ginny Weasly, is the only girl in born into the family, she's a year yonger than I.

All the Weasleys have red hair witch obviously makes Ron a Weasley to. Tonks, Remus and Dung I already know.

But I felt there was someone missing.
Espesially Harry seemes to be affected by this. I am not stupid enough to ask and dampen everybodys spirits as they tell me what is wrong.

I wait for everyone to start eating. Then I ask them: "What am I?" They all look up. "Sorry?" Harry asks. "Why do I have a power? Why do you just come and get me from my home and pull me into an unknown life?!"

I ask rather loudly. "Lorie yo-" "Call me Lox." I cut of Remus as he goes to explain. "Ok Lox, we arent sure what you are. What we do know is that you can be a wich if you want.

We also know that you never got your letters from Hogwarts." "What letters" "Exactly, that is what I mean." Remus continues. Hundreds of questions are spinning around my head.

One of them was: What the devil is Hogwarts.

"We have a suspition who your real Mother is......Or better, was."
"Who? why is she dead?" I press on. "She was murderd by Voldemort."
Remus sais sadly. Pretty much everyone but Harry and me wince when the name Voldemort falls.

"Whos that? And What was her name?" I ask.

"Voldemort is the man that murderd my parents. Hes nothing more than a murderer. Hes just evil. Hes followers are called Deatheaters. That describes him pretty well." Harry told me angrily.

"Harry I'm sorry...."
I start. But he cuts me of. "Its ok, dont worry. You had to know about him anyway." He gets up and leves the room. I go after him. "Harry wait!"
I yell. He keeps going. I run after him skidding up the hall on the polished wooden floors. "Harry!"

I am starting to get angry. I kick the wooden chest
infront of me. Suddenly, as if an alarm had gone of, a hell of a racket went of. I get really annoyed.

"SHUT UP!!"I scream. all goes quiet. I never thought I could do that.

**********Chapter 4. Loralei


The next day I was woken quite early.
Tonks was knoking at our door.

She poked her head through. "Hey sweeitie, You might want to get up so we can go buy some things for you.
When you go to Hogwarts school of wichcraft and wizardry you will need school books and robes.

Try not to wake hermione though, she wanted to sleepin today." She tells me. She closes the door and I Pull a shabby old t-shirt and some jeans on. I leave the room as quietly as I can.

Harry is standing there. "Your the one I was waiting for." he sais smiling. "Do you know what my mother was called?"
I ask him.

I dont know why. It must have lingered in my mind over night.
"Loralie. Her and my mom were best friends. I have a picture of them."
"Can I see it?" I ask. "Yes, but not now."Harry sais happily.

I walk down the stairs with him. "I never would have thought you were a wich when I first saw you."He tells me.

Then Remus appears infront of us with a loud crack. "Oh, sorry!" He laughs. I dont really think its funny. Im thinking about mom. He is holding two wands. One looks slightly familliar. "Lox, this is loralei's wand. We think she was your mother." he added. "I know."

I mutter. "Here, try it out." He sais handing me the wand. I take it. It fells warm under my skin. Somehow, I dont know how I fell mom. I wave it slightly as the wand makes itsself ready to do my biding. "Looks like Lox has a wand now!" Remus calles happily.

"Look you two, I have to go and talk with Tonks. She'll be taking you to Diagon Alley. Harry are you going to go to?" He asks. I look at Harry with a pleading expretion. "Yeah ok, why not?" Harry answeres, seeing me plea.

Remus smiles and dissapesrd with a loud crack. "Thanks." I say smiling at Harry. "No problem. Dumbledore told me to take care of you......Oh...His the Headmaster of Hogwarts. He also started the Order.

He would have paid for your things, but I suppose you'll be taking money from your mothers vault now." Harry explains to me. "He wants to come and greet you sometime.

But hes very busy at all times. Dont worry thoug he'll come. He actually has to sort something out with the muggles that raised you, so he'll have to tell you about that." Harry continued. "Muggles?"
I wonder allowed.

"Thats what we call non magic folk like your 'parents'. "
He tells me.
"Oh....Ok"I say.

(OOC: Ok I know last chapter was really short. I try to make them as long as possible.)


***********Chapter 5. Gringotts bank, the world I never knew


"Take a pinch of floopowder dear." Mrs Weasley tells me. I take some of the grey powder She had on a large box. I look at her unsure of what to do next.

"Throw it in the fire and say, nice and clearly, Diagon Alley."
She tells me.

I do as I am told. I throw the powder into the fire.
I stepp in the now emrald green flames and say "Diagon alley.
" Nice and clearly. A wooshing feeling and a dull thud later
and I found myself in a beutiful shop full of strange objects. Then Harry comes sliding into sight. I help him up and he brushes soot from my clothes.

I ignore this.

"You have stuff on your cheek." Harry tells me.
I rub it of with my sleeve looking around. "If you like this place then you'll definantly like Gringotts, the wizard bank." Harry sais amused at the look on my face.
Then Tonks appears out of nowhere wit a small cracking sound.
"Lets go get your things. Shall we?" Tonks said cheekily.

"Time to have some fun!" Harry mutterd smiling.
Were going to the bank first.

I look around at the world that the two people I had once loved and adored had kept from me. Now I hated them. They had never loved me. This is the world I never knew.

We reach the bank and I look around trying to take in as much as I can.
The bank is really beutiful.

"We will be making a withdrawal from miss Loralei Rose's account."
Tonks said cheerfuly. Trying to be bisnuisslike. I giggle. So does Harry. I nudge him with my elbow.

He lookes at me. He looks me right in the eyes.
He has bottle green eyes. His smile fades a little and he ruffles his hair unaware of the world around him.

He opens his mouth to speak but no words come out.

"Right, Lets go." Tonks sais. smiling broadly. "Right." Harry mumbles.
He walks of after the leading us. Tonks nudges me. "I think he likes you."

[Lox13]

************Chapter 6. The kiss.

Everyone thinks Harry likes me.
I dont think its verry funny. Harrys a really ok kind of guy. But I dont know him all that well. mabey in a few days but not now.
Not yet.
Im just still in shock about what just happend to me.

First this new Power.....Then they came to get me.....And I practicly dont know anyone anywhere.

They just cant do this to me.
Harry, I suddenly realize is holding my hand. I would pull away but I dont want Tonks to realize.

The Goblin leads us through many doors into gigantic halls of white marble.
Finally we pass through the last door. We enter a tunnel full of carts. The goblin (Onagar) stepps into one and Tonks follows. Harry and I get in to and as soon as we all sit down the cart speeds of. I try to remember how to get to my vault but its to much and too fast.
Left, right, left, left, middle, straight, right, right, right.......Oh I give up!

The cart suddenly pulles to a halt and we clamber out. Tonks gives the goblin my key.

"Ok stand back." The goblin says. he opens my vault. A blinding light is emitted from the vault. It faddes quickly and I see piles of Gold, Silver and (tiny) Bronze coins.

"Gosh, I never knew that Rory had that much money...." I hear Tonks say but I dont look up. Tonks pulles out a small bag and I help her pile gold into it.

Harry just stares. "What?"I ask. He shakes his head quickly "No-nothing.."
***********

Another wild cart ride later, and were standing out in the blinding sun. Binking, as the light blinds us.

Then something occurs to me.......Tomorrow is my birthday.....Well at least I think it is.

Tonks claps a hand on my shoulder and steers me through the narrow streets and allyways. We go to a strange shop that sells robes. it is called Madam Malkins robes for all occations.

A plump woman comes to greet us t the door. "Hello, how may I help you?" This woman asks."Well be needing Hogwarts robes and dressrobes, and a cloak for everyday use."
Tonks is telling the woman.

She nodds and pulles me forward.
A mesuring tape is taking my mesurements all by its self.

She asks me what color I want my dressrobes to be. I choose a beutiful shade of turqoise.
Soon after we leve the shop with my new clothes.
"What do we need now?" I ask, eger to go into more shops.

"School books and potion supplies." Harry answeres.
********************

We went into a shop named florish and blotts. And into another namless shop. It was pretty foul and gundgy in there but I was still facinated by all of the stuff you could by there.

Now its time to go back to nr 12. Tonks had already apparated away with my things.

I take a pinch of floopowder and throw it into the fire. I stepp into the fire and look at Harry he ruffles his hair again. "Nr 12. grimauld place." I wisper as quietly and clearly as I can.

Back at nr 12. I get up and Mrs. Weasley rushes forward brushing soot of me. "Have a nice trip dear?" Then Harry slides down the chimney.

She grabs him and starts brushing soot of him now. "Molly, give it up you'll never get them clean like that." Remus sais laghing. I try and save harry from Mrs. Weasley.

"Mabey I should Go and sort out some things. Coming Harry?" I grab the packiges that Tonks had dropped of on the table and pass one to Harry. He pulles himself free from Mrs. Weasley's gripp and takes it.

We walk up the stairs together. I lead Harry to my room. Its empty. I dump the parcels I was carrying onto my bed.
Harry does the same. I look at him and he ruffles his hair absentmindedly.

"Hermione and Tonks recon you like me...." I start grinning. Harry goes red.
"Theres definantly nothing wrong with you.....Your cool...." He stutters.
I realize his looking in my eyes again."Thanks." I say cooly. "I mean your really sw-" He starts.

I sit down on my bed. He's still looking in my eyes,
stuttering uncontrollably.
I grinn at him. He ruffles his hair again. Then suddenly as if out of nowhere he bends down and kisses me softly. I dont know what to do. I dont do anything. "Sorry.."
He stutters and he flees from he room as though he'd just robbed a bank of something.

[Lox13]

*********** Chapter 7. Black


I go looking for Harry and finally find him an a room filled with straw and hay. Theres a strange creatcher in there. I read about them. Its a hippogriff. "Harry, are you ok?" I ask poking my head through the door.
I enter the room. Harry is sulking in the corner of the room. The hippogriff looks at me threteningly. "Beaky leve her alone." I finally hear Harry speak. Beaky turnes around and eats a dead rat.
I go over to Harry and curl up next to him. He ignores me and doesn't say a word. I kiss him softly on the cheek and rest my hesd on his shoulder.
"Sorry about before...." harry sais. "Harry do you have any idea about girls?" I ask him. "Not really.."He sais slowly. "Harry Dont worry about before. I know your like your dad. I have an impression your dad would have done all kinds of stuff......Stupid stuff. But you didn't do anything stupid." I blab. Why am I saying this?!

Then Hermione pokes her head through the door. "Time for lunch guys." She tells us. I get up and take Harrys hand, I pull him up and kiss him on the cheek.

Then I go out the door. Harry follows me quickly. He takes my hand. We come into the kitchen and he lets go of me. He tickles me quickly along the spine. I cant help giggling. We sit down next to eachother.

"So, Harry.....Tomorrows your birthday." Hermione begins. She had sat next to Harry and Ron had sat down next to me.
During lunch I talk with Harry, trying to forget my birthday.
But I just cant avoid it.

I never celebrated my birthday, and I never got propper presents.
My 'parents' had never really botherd with me after I was to go to highschool. But even when I turned 5 all I got for my birthday was........
A rubber ball, I knew that it was one out of those machines where you put in some money and out comes a little capsual with a cheap toy.
****************

After lunch I leave the table and go to look for a quiet room where noone will find me.

I find a small room. It looks as though someone has been using it. There is a messy bed and a desk full of papers. But the strange thing is theres a thick layer of dust on everything. Even on the messy bed. I go to look at the papers. I know its none of my buisness what is written on them, but somehow I just cant resist. I pick up one and read it. It looks verry old.

Padfoot my old friend,
I think you would want to know that your godson and I managed to play a sucsessful prank on Lily. Mind you, she snaps quite quickly latley. Maybe
we should give it a rest for a while. Oh my god Padfoot, look at that Im going weak! I must resist the urge! Ha ha! Come visit us.
Prongs

I pick up a new one.

Dear Sirius,
How are you? I hope you can help me, I had a little fight with Lily about Lorie. You might want to talk sence into her. She refuses to see that I have to give Lorie away. If Voldemort gets me he wil kill Lorie to. I cannot let that happen. Please help.
Love Loralei

This letter is from mom. I cant belive it. But who was this Man? Sirius.
There are more letters, so I pick up one and read it.

Padfoot,
I heard the news about Lorie. Why wasn't I informed? I could take her.
Lily wants to take care of her to. After all we are her Godparents. Lorie and Harry would get on fine. Please talk to Loralei.
Prongs


I pick up another.

Sirius Black,
Stop buging me about our daughter! I have chosen what is best for Lorie.
Please I dont want her to die. Stay away from me for your own saftey. And no, you cant take care of our daughter out of reasons I have already told you and I wont repeat them again. You know what I can do with my power. Lorie has it too. You should have seen her levitate the vase yesterday. It was so sweet.
Dont forget I love you.
Loralei

This Man was, or is my father! I drop onto the bed and begin reading other letters. Then I find ones from Dad that he never sent away.

Dear Lori,
I know you never got to know me, you are five now arent you? Happy birthday. Are the muggles treating you well? What did they give you?
This isnt much I know, it's just a letter. Im so sorry. I made the biggest mistake of my life. You will never get this letter. I will probably start to rot here soon. Ive been here, for four years now. I wish I could hold you in my armes again, like I did when you were born.
I love you my wonderful daughter. Your Father Sirius Black.

[Lox13]

************* Chapter 8. Birthdays


I must have fell asleep in the bed I was sitting in because I wake up to many yells. "Lorie, Lorie!" "Lox!" The others are searching for me.

I get up quickly and stuff the letters into my pocket. I leave the room and find Harry walking towards me.

"Ive found her! Shes ok! I'll sort it out."
He yells, not taking his startling green eyes of me. "What time is it?" I ask Harry.

I feel verry tiard and the hall is lit with lamplight. It must be dark outside.

"its late. I dont know exactly what time it is. When you didnt show up for diner we started to get worried. What were you doing in Sirius's room?" He adds.

"Im tiard Im going to bed. I want to sleepin on my birthday, so dont wake me. That'll be the only present I'll get. I suppose." I walk away ignoring his question.

I get into bed in my clothes. I dont even bother pulling my sheets over me. Im also still wareing my shoes. I just lay there and slowly but surely sleep rolls over me.
**************

I wake in the morning to find Hermione sitting on her bed waching me sleep. "Tough day yesterday, huh?" She sais. I fake a weak smile.

Suddenly misery drenches me. Today is my birthday. Hermione leves the room.

"Yeah shes in there. Is it all ready?" I hear Hermione say quietly to someone else. Then Harry slippes in through the slightly opend door. "What?" I moan.

"Come on sleepyhead time to have breakfast." He sais smiling. I sit up. "Happy birthday." I say to him. "Happy birthday Lox."
He sais, and he kisses me softly on the cheek.

I get up and quickly combe through my hair once with my hands. Thats the good thing about my hair. I can go for days without having to brush it.

Then Harry takes my hands and leads me through the hallways to the kitchen.

We reach the Kitchen to a loud "Happy Birthday Harry! Happy Birthday Lori!" The Table is filled with Gifts and snack food. I look at a clock on the wall. It is 11 in the morning.

I cant help but grin.

Harry leads me over to the table and seperates the gifts into two large piles. I quickly realize that Harry had organized this somehow.

"Is this ok? Is this what you imagined under a birthday party?" Harry asks me slyly. He hands me a small gift wich was antidily wrapped. I opend it and inside there was a box with several locks on there. "Every Lock opens a new part in the box." harry explains quickly in a wisper. "Thanks!" I say. Then He opens a gift on the table and I start to open mine.

In the end I have recived:
1. The box, from Harry.

2. A t-shirt with the wierd sisters on there, from Tonks.

3. A Book about Quiddich, (a wizard sport on brooms) from Ron.

4. A Huge pile of magical sweets, from Remus.

5. A sweater, from Mrs. Weasley.

6. Another book, about Hogwarts this time, from Hermione.

7. A bottle of Butterbeer, from Dung. (I dont think i will drink this, Harry sais its relly good, but the smell that coomes from Dung might have made it go off or something.)

8. A Skiving Snackbox, From Fred and George.
(I dont think Mrs. Weasley approves of this.)

Harry got a little more than I did but I am really grate full. I think This is all but then I find one more present is being handed to me by Bill and Charlie. "The Griffindor Quiddich team Needs more good players. Practice with this." The tell me. I unwrap this last, long, and thin gift and.....Its a Fire bolt! "We took some out of your fathers account too." Remus tells me.

"His name wa-" "Sirius Black. I know. Thankyou so much! You have no idea how much I appreaciate this!"

I suppose they dont ask me how I know about Sirius because its my birthday. But the questioning will come Im sure of it.

Harry wants to take me flying when it gets dark, so noone can see us, and I can have a go at flying.

Ron agrees to join us on his broom too. I wonder how much money They all spent on this broom.

************* Chapter 9. My world

(OOC: I know I had called this chap Loraleis dream but I changed it because I decided to use my idea maching to that title a little later on in the story, as I find it goes better there.)

After tea we go outside and I Mount my broom. Ron and Harry mount theres and we rise in the air.

I seem to be alright at flying, cause Harry said I might really be able to join the team at Hogwarts.

Why do they all expect I'll get into Griffindor? It is very confusing to me when they all talk about things I never thought would have existed.

Well at least latley I am never surprised anymore. This world is so full of strange and peculier things I have never heard of.

This world.......My world! I know I am taking the deaths of my real parents a little too lightly, but its hard to morn over people I never new I had in my life.

It will come though, the sadness, I seem to be getting to know my parents better each day. And the hurt seeks me every night. But it is not mournig. not yet.

A big raindrop lands exactly on the tip of my nose.
Then another lands on my hand, one lands on my head and I face my broom into a steep dive.

The wind is rushing in my ears as I pull out of the dive shortly before I would have hit the ground.

Harry and Ron follow. "It gonna rain really heavy soon......We should hurry inside...." Ron sais and I get of my broom, pick it up and hurry towards the door, Harry and Ron at my heel.

The rain suddenly starts pelting down on our heads. I let Ron in first and Harry turnes to speak with me as we get wetter and wetter at the second.

"You fly really well for the fackt that that was your first time on a broom alone..." He says. Oh, I was actually hoping for something else than that....
**************

"And the next thing I know is that im pinned up against the wall snogging Harry...." I find myself telling Hermione.

Im soking wet and sitting on the bed in my room fidling around wih the small box Harry had given me for my birthday.

"Wow....See....I told you he likes you...." Hermione says in a loss for more words.

"Yeah you can say that again....I would never have thought he would do that though......" I say.

It had been a wonderful feeling out in the poring rain kissing Harry, it was as though I would faint out of happiness.
**********

I went to bed shortly after that.

Harry opens the door just as I want to turn out the lights. "Hey Lox, are you gonna say goodnight?" He asks joking.

Hermione encorages me with a 'come on I know you want to' look. I get out of my bed and walk towards Harry.

I kiss him softley and before I pull out of the kiss he dissapears with a loud crack. Hermione giggles. "What did he do that for?! That wasnt funny!" I hiss at her. But then I crack up to.

"I forgot that we learned to apparate! I wonder how I managed to do that!!" Hermione laughs.

"Mabey you just need some help.........Liiiiiiiiiiike a......Remembral!" I reply giggling.
Hermione pretends to be insulted, I shut the door and turn out the light.
I crawl into bed and fall asleep imedialty.

***************** Chapter 10. Loraleis dream


I slept badly that night.

I was just a little baby, Mother was holding me.
Her and father were arguing. I was crying, but they ignored me compleatley. "I told you! You cant take her!" Mother screamed.
"Shes my child too! You cant take her away from me! I have the right to raise my daughter!" Father yelled back.
I continued to cry, but they still didnt notice.
Suddenly Father and Mother were duelling. Exept I was gone.
Instead, I was Mother.
