Harper Potter: The Lost Twin

03

I stand in the street as it's raining, "you're Harper Potter." I didn't know what to say, I mean what was I supposed to say? So I just stood there, looking up to the man. "Well come on then, let's get inside!" He leads the way to the door and ushers me on.

There's a crowd of men and women looking at me in astonishment. The whispers were loud. "It's Harper Potter!" One whispered. "It cant be." Another said. "Out of the way now!" The bearded man said. 

"I bet yur cold, now cmon let's get you into some dry clothes." He leads me into the back room that has racks of clothes. "Oh i almost forgot!" He said before leaving. "I'm Hagrid." I smile, it's nice to hear a warm voice once in a while, "Well I'm- well you already know who I am." He chuckles, "I'll explain everything once you're ready." Then he leaves. I looked around and picked out a cloth gray hoodie, black leggings, and some old white sneakers.

"This'll be fine." I smile, knowing these clothes are better than anything I've ever own. I walk out and everybody goes quiet. "Well there she is!" A woman with a Scottish accent announces. "Harper Potter. You've no idea how long we've been searching for you."

I make a confused face. "I only live about 2 hours away from here. Maybe 1 hour if you go by car." She also makes a confused face, "and how did you get here?" I go to sit down in a chair. "It's a long story, is that alright?" She looks to Hagrid. "Yes of course but let's not do it here."

The both of them led me to the exit and led me to the building next to us. It was empty but had a couple of chairs. The woman pulled out what looked like a wand and flicked the wand. A chandelier came out of no where and comfy looking couches appeared. Along with a table that had glorious food and drinks.

"Woah." Is all I could say. "Yes well, this is a place for meetings." The woman said while smiling. She sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to her. I sat down and took a deep breath. "Would you like to eat first?" She said, noticing me staring at the food.

"N-no." I said with a smile. "I can tell your waiting to find out about me." I slide my shoes off and pull my legs up. "And I want to find out about me too."

And so I told them about aunt Angie. And how she'd been missing for a while, how I was barely managing to stay alive. I also told them about the man and how I pushed him without touching him.

She reached for my hand and held it. "I'm so sorry dearie." She squeezed my hand and frowned. "It's fine really. But I do still have questions." I say. "Well go ahead. We can answer them for you." Hagrid said, still standing up.

"Well first of all, what's your name?" I ask the lady sitting beside me. "Oh my! I almost forgot. I'm Minerva McGonagall. I'm a professor at Hogwarts."

"What's Hogwarts? Is that a school?" She looks to me, "you really don't know do you?" I tilt my head. "Know what?" She leans forward and whispers,

"you're a witch, Harper."
