The Forsaken One

"Hey, Hi, Hello? Jeez, nothing seems right."

Yep, that's me. A nervous wreck and only 6 years. As you guys are familiar with, witches and wizards typically go to Hogwarts at the ages of 11-12 but due to the scandal with my father (Harry Potter) there have been some additional security measures at Hogwarts to prevent something like that from ever happening again. So, 6 year old me has to take a tour around the school building and meet my professors.

"Phoenix, calm down. You'll be okay. I realize most of what's new is because of me, but you'll be just fine."

"You're just saying that because you're my dad, Dad."

So being me, I put my big girl face and and followed my dad out of the house, well. We used a port key to get to Hogwarts and there were a bunch of people surrounding my dad.

"Glad to see that you haven't changed Harry. What brings you back here today?"

"Phoenix, you can stop hiding behind me now."

"You have a little girl Harry? So she'll be attending here just like you did. I hope she isn't anything like her father.

"McGonagall, she's a handful. Right off the bat, maybe in the next 6 years things will change but for right now, I don't think that's the case. She's gotten into as much trouble as I did here in my common room. I hope she'll end up in Gryffindor. I know you'll look out for her."

"Harry, we'll look after Phoenix."

"My name is Aria and my dad is the only one who can call me Phoenix!"

"Then hello Aria, my name is Professor McGonagall and I'm the headmistress here at Hogwarts."

"What happened to Snape?"

"He was killed, by who must not be named."

"Oh come on! Just say his name! I was the one that killed Voldemort, it's no longer taboo to say a name!"

"Harry, you of all people should know the danger of saying his name! The Ministry of Magic found you by placing a hex on his name! Who knows that they haven't done the same even though he's dead."

Oh believe me when the Ministry showed up the look on McGonagall's face was price less but frightening to the younger me.

"Harry James Potter, you are under arrest for supporting the ways of who must not be named and for stepping foot onto the Hogwarts premises after you were repeatedly told to not come here again once you graduated."

"Daddy what's going on? Where are these people taking you? Daddy, what's going on"

"Phoenix, everything's going to be okay. I'll be home before you know it."

"Don't leave Daddy!"

"Aria, come along now. Your father said it himself, he'll be back before you know it. But in the mean time I'm going to show you around Hogwarts."

Prof. McGonagall really did do her best to take my mind off of what happened to my dad, but every few seconds my mind drifted off to how he was holding up and if he was doing okay without us.

Somehow, mom got the call that Daddy was taken so she came to get me, but my 6 year old ears heard something that didn't make sense at the time.

"Why Ginny she looks nothing like you! She's a spitting image of Harry."

"McGonagall, I would prefer if you didn't bring up my husband at this sensitive time."
