Chapter 2: The Mystery Person

Draco:  Of course were all on the edge of seat here

"Get up Alaina! Someone (is that one word or to?)

Hermione: Look you don't have to read the Oxford English Dictionary cover to
cover but a least try to fake knowledge.

is here to see you!" Screeched my mother. `If only she new why they were
here' I though. See my mom didn't know I was still going to Hogwarts. She
would freak "

Draco: Because you are a freak.
Ron: And thank for reminding us about last chapter.

I'm getting up!" I yelled back. I hurriedly got ready taking extra care to
look beautiful for my new escort.

Harry: Ego, ego, ego...
Hermione: I would be able to stand this a little more if the author wasn't so
intent on tooting her own horn.

I would be living with them 'til Hogwarts, a whole month away. " Alaina He's
waiting." Mom yelled yet again. ` Ah so we know it's a `he' 'I thought I took
one last look in the mirror and ran down stairs.

Ron: What does looking in the mirror have to do with the gender of the guest?
Hermione: Commas, paragraph breaks, give me something.
Harry: How about description that isn't pointless?
Draco: Or about feedin the author's ego?

When I got there I saw... " James!" I exclaimed when I saw James.

Hermione: As opposed to screaming Bob! when she saw James.

He was standing next to an older man who looked just like him. ` His father'
I thought. (She seems to think a lot!)

Draco: Yes thinking is good.  Try it some time.

" How do you know my name?" James asked suspiciously. " Have we met?' he
looked confused. ` He looks cute when he's confused.' I Thought. (Yet
again!!)

Hermione: Must keep head from exploding...
Draco: It's bad enough the whole fic will revolve around Ego Bitch here but
these authors notes...

"Alb- Professor Dumbledore told me." I lied quickly. James didn't look
convinced. Thankfully Mr. Potter cut in." Well, Hello dear, I'm George
Potter, James' father, we are here to take you to Diagon Ally and you will
stay with us until it's time to go to Hogwarts,"

Hermione: Yet another one sentence description that should have been several
paragraphs worth.
Ron: You want More of this?

" Excuse, Me" I heard my moms voice from behind me and realized she heard Mr.
Potter. ` Oh NO! Now what?' I thought. (I need another way to say, "I
thought" please help)

Draco: Well load the gun, aim it at your head and pull the trigger.

" Now Mrs. Cooper, Alaina has to go to Hogwarts, she has quite a future
there. If you won't let her I know her father will!" He said. No one ever
spoke about my father, my mom and him got a divorce when I was 2 years old. I
never saw my father or knew what he did, how did this stranger know about him
and what he would want?

Harry: Normally I would encourage her to show not tell but that means more of
this crap..
Ron: Her father's gonna be some great and powerful wizard.
Draco: As long as it's not Voldemort.

James looked just as confused, why would Alaina's father, who she hadn't seen
in 9 years care, he knew about the divorce his gather told him.

Harry: His gather told him?
Hermione: father...[sigh]
Draco: Why would his father tell him personal business about a girl he hasn't
met?

" Well I never!" yelled my mom yelled indignantly. " Come on Alaina, lets go."

Draco: You should it's fun!

I grabbed my stuff with help from James and we left. We got into a car and
sped away. I was a little it in shock because of what Mr. Potter had said and
was lost in thought.

Draco: I refuse to believe this creature is capable of thought.
Hermione: Oh so George said 'lets go'.  I guess it's one of those puzzel
things.

My thoughts were something like this: What does Mr. Potter know that I don't?
James is really cute. I wonder where my father is? Does Mr. Potter know my
father?

Draco: Bit of a father obessision there.
Harry: I'm very happy my dad was married.
Ron: Poor Sirius and Remus....

Aww James is looking @ me

Hermione: At AT!!!  It is two fucking letters!  It's not that hard.

" Er Alaina, are you all right?'' James asked " Yeah I'm just thinking about
what your father said, does he know my father?" I asked, I felt I could tell
James anything. " I don't think so. Maybe though."

Ron: So does he know her father or not?
Draco: Do we care?
Harry: I'm so happy she can open up to the guy she met five minutes ago.

" I don't remember my father, he left when I was two." I said as tears
flooded my eyes. " You want to talk about it?" So my first real conversation
and I ended up crying and talking about my dad.

Draco: So she's never, ever spoken to another human being in her life?
Ron: What about Deanna? 
Harry: I think you just created a plot hole.

James was really nice and we totally clicked. I felt I could talk to him
about anything. There also was the fact that I knew a lot more about him then
even he knew. Like his future. " You know James, I feel like I can't tell you
anything."

Hermione: Here we go with the contradictions again....

I told him as we pulled up to the Leaky Cauldron. "I feel the same way. Can I
ask you something." He asked " Sure anything" " It seems like you know so
much about me, are you a seer?"

Harry: This, this is first question he askes her?
Draco: If your gonna Mary Sue at least attempt to hide it
Ron: So there's no other way to get knowledge other than being a seer?

" Well yeah I am, but lets not talk about I now, lets get our Hogwarts
stuff." " Okay." " First I want to go and get my wand at Ollivander." " Are
you sure your muggle born."

Hermione: That should end with a question mark..
Harry: I just love these conversations!  They're so thought provoking and
full of description!

" Well I don't know about my Father but..." she trailed off. " Wait where are
we going?" I asked confused. " Diagon Ally Duh!" Replied James. " We can't
drive from New York (I lived in New York City.) To Britain!"

Harry: Sadly that is the only sensible thing in this fic.
Draco: Wait a minute I though they were at the Leaky Cauldron!
Hermione: She's not even paying attention to her own fic!

I said suddenly realizing what I was saying Mr. Potter stopped the car. We
all looked at him waiting for an answer. " We can use floo powder." I
answered after a moment of silence. " There has to be a fireplace we can
use."

Ron: How did they get there in the first place?
Harry: They obviously fell through the plot hole.

So they set out to find a fireplace. They ended up stopping at one of James
distant cousin's house and used floo powder to get to Britain. We didn't go
straight to Diagon Ally. Mr. Potter had to pick up the car. So they drove
there.

Hermione: Why didn't they use Floo powder to go straight to Diagon Alley?

Final Thoughts?

Hermione: I'm naming my first seizure after this fic.
Harry: God they can't get much worse than this!
Icz: Actually this has five chapters...
