The street light flickered outside of my window. I ignored it. The light going out was a common occurrence on my block. I decided it must have been Dumbledore or Ron a while ago. I was home alone and it was late I heard the doorbell chime and I got up slowly from my reading place. At the door stood an old wizened man with white hair and half-moon spectacles. "I understand that you my dear wish you could help Harry?"
"Um yeah I'd love to be able to go in the story and help him. I've thought about it a lot. I decided I could pretend to be a seer and… "I stopped as I didn't know this man, "Who are you?" I said quite suddenly.
"My dear my name is Albus Dumbledore."
"That's quite impossible. The Harry Potter books are fictitious. I wish they were real though."
His eyes twinkled like the real Dumbledore. "Alice Green, I can tell you would like to believe they are real but everyone has told you they weren't, isn't that right? I can see you want proof."
"Yes. To both," I said as I nodded.
He took out his wand and said Wingardium Leviosa and I rose up from the ground.
"Whoa," I paused, "I believe you. How can I help Harry?"
Dumbledore said, "I want you to go into the Harry Potter Universe as you call it. I will take you myself. I want you to help Harry through school. I will place charms on you when we get there that will ensure your safety if you are in the path of the killing curse or in direct danger of dying you will be taken to a secure location with a portkey to where ever Harry is or you can chose to go home. It will be up to you. In that universe you cannot die."
"When can we leave?"
"As soon as you get your things in order you may take some money for personal things but your school things and wizard's clothes I will pay for. I would recommend taking some personal effects to remind you of home."
"Ok I know just what to take." I went back upstairs I grabbed a bag and put my Harry Potter books into my bag. All of them even Tales of Beetle the Bard. I then grabbed my favorite stuffed tiger I got for the last Christmas at my grandma's house. I took my camera, my phone, charger, and head phones I took some paper, pens and pencils remembering they used quills and parchment and knowing already I would hate them. I took one final look at my room. As a second thought I decided to take my bass clarinet, my section leader would kill me if I got back and was out of practice. I grabbed my watch, wallet and deck of cards three things I never leave without. I pick up my backpack and head down stairs to meet Dumbledore.
"Are you ready?" I nodded, "Ok this will feel a lot like aparating. Take a deep breath 1, 2, 3."
We lurched and spun around. I felt like I was on a bad roller costar. I wanted to puke and then it was over. I was so dizzy the world was spinning, both of them. "Ugg." I groaned. I looked up and it was well worth the dizziness. There stood Hogwarts. I was amazed. It looked stunning.
"Welcome to Hogwarts Miss Green." I looked down and I looked eleven again. I looked at Dumbledore expectantly. "Oh, I'm sorry Alice it was necessary to make you look the same age as Harry, which is eleven now. I'm sure you are exhausted I will show you to your room for the night, then you will be heading to Mrs. Figg's in the morning. You will be posing as her granddaughter staying with her for the summer because your parents are in America and you will be attending a private school in Europe and are staying with her." I nodded tiredly apparition is energy consuming.
He showed me to my room and I fell asleep without a second thought.
