Gathering the Children
Scene:
A house, on a rock island somewhere out at sea. The family is sleeping, with Harry on the cold, dirt floor. He has drawn a birthday cake which reads, Happy Birthday Harry. Harry looks at Dudley's watch, which beeps 12:00.
People turn to Harry pityingly.
Harry: Make a wish, Harry. {Blows}
Suddenly, the door thumps. Harry jumps. The door thumps again and Dudley and Harry jump up and back away. Petunia and Vernon appear, Vernon with a gun.
“He had a gun,” Lily narrowed her eyes dangerously at the screen
The door bangs again and then cracks open, and a giant man appears.
Vernon: Who's there? Ahh!
Hagrid: Sorry 'bout that. {He puts the door back up}
Laughter rings around the hall at HAgrid being polite as ever
Vernon: I demand that you leave at once, Sir! You are breaking and entering!
Petunia: Ooh.
Hagrid comes over, grabs the gun and bends it upwards.
Hagrid: Dry up, Dursley, you great prune. {The gun fires}
The hall jumps except for Calla who is used to it and Harry who knew it was coming.
All: Ahh!
Hagrid: {sees Dudley} Mind, I haven't seen you since you was a baby, Harry, but you're a bit more along than I would have expected. Particularly 'round the middle!
Dudley: I-I-I'm not Harry.
Harry appears: I-I am.
Hagrid: Oh, well, of course you are! Got something for ya. 'Fraid I might have sat on it at some point! I imagine that it'll taste fine just the same. Ahh. Baked it myself. {Hands Harry the cake} Words and all. Heh.
“Thank you Hagrid,” Harry beamed at
Harry: Thank you! {Opens cake, which reads: Happee Birdae Harry.}
“Thank you Hagrid,” Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus whispered
Hagrid: It's not every day that your young man turns eleven, now is it?
Hagrid sits down on the couch, takes out an umbrella and points it at the empty fire. Poof, poof! Two sparks fly out and the fire starts. The family gapes.
Harry: {puts cake down} Excuse me, who are you?
Hagrid: Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. Course, you'll know all about Hogwarts.
Harry: Sorry, no.
“Why did you apologize,” Calla frowned
Hagrid: No? Blimey, Harry, didn't you ever wonder where your mum and dad learned it all?
Harry: Learnt what?
Hagrid: Yer a wizard, Harry.
Harry: I-I'm a what?
Harry: A wizard. And a thumping good one at that, I'd wager. Once you train up a little.
Harry: No, you've made a mistake. I can't be...a-a wizard. I mean, I'm just... Harry. Just Harry.
The room snorted
Hagrid: Well, Just Harry, did you ever make anything happen? Anything you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared? {Harry softens his expression} Ah.
Dudley: {whimpers}
Hagrid hands Harry the same letter that has been sent the past while. Harry opens it.
Harry: Dear, Mr. Potter. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
Vernon: He’ll not be going! We swore when we took him in and we'd put an end to this rubbish!
“That could have been a danger to your health,” Professor Sprout frowned concerned for Harry
Harry: You knew?? You knew all along and you never told me?
Petunia: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. Oh, my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful? I was the only one to see her for what she was. A freak! And then she met that Potter, and then she had you, and I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as ... abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up! And we got landed with you.
“Tuney,” Lily whispered now crying James rubbed her back calmly
Harry: Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!
Every wizard, even the ones who hate James and Lily yelled at the screen. The two of them died nobly and should be treated as such.
Hagrid: A car crash? A car crash kill James and Lily Potter?
Petunia: We had to tell him something.
“Why not the truth,” spat Ron protectively
Hagrid: It's an outrage! It's a scandal!
Vernon: He'll not be going!
Hagrid: Oh, and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself's going to stop him, are you?
Harry: Muggle?
Hagrid: Non magic folk. This boy's had his name down ever since he was born! He's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and he'll be under the greatest headmaster Hogwarts' has ever seen: Albus Dumbledore.
Vernon: I will not pay for some crackpot old fool to teach him magic tricks!
“That was rather idiotic of him,” Calla commented
Hagrid: {whips out umbrella and points it at Vernon} Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me.
Hagrid sees Dudley eating Harry's cake, and points the umbrella at his rear. A gray tail grows.
Dudley: Ahh!
All: Ahh! {family chases Dudley}
Harry: {laughs}
The entire hall laughed as well
Hagrid: Oh, um, I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking, I'm not allowed to do magic.
Harry: {Nods} Okay.
Hagrid: {checks a clock} Ooh, we're a bit behind schedule. Best be off. Unless you'd rather stay, of course. Hmm? {Leaves}
Harry grins, looks back, and grins again.
Scene:
Severus Snape apparates in front of Wayne Manor with another girl.
Snape: stay out here somewhere
The girl shrugs and walks over to a plant towards the side of the house. Snape then walks up the steps and rings the doorbell.
Alfred: Good Morning sir
Snape: Hello sir I am here to see a Miss. Calla Potter
Calla grinned at Snape, “That was a mistake.” Snape in turn glared at Calla.
Alfred narrows his eyes and then hits him in the head with an umbrella near the door and Snape crumbles.
Every student and teacher burst out laughing.
Alfred: Master Bruce I believe we have found Mistress Nadia's stalker
The screen cuts to black then comes back on to the entire family staring at Snape while he wakes up.
Bruce: Who are you (batman voice)
A lot of people jump in shock
Snape: Professor Severus Snape of Hogwarts I’m here to introduce two magical children into the magical world I already gathered one she is waiting outside
Calla: Prove it (she leans forward speaking low and menacingly)
Snape: Wingardium Leviosa
Many items begin to float
Calla: Huh.
“You sound so unimpressed,” Hermione gaped at her friend surprised
Why do you assume I have magic and why are these letters addressed to a Calla Potter. After all my name is Nadia Al Ghul Wayne.
Snape: The reason you are referred to as Calla in your letters is because your birth name is Calla Agnes Potter and as for magic (Snape pulls out a scroll) incident of Accidental magic when three you manipulated the wind…
“That's quite impressive,” James gaped at his daughter
Flashback:
Three year old Calla is throwing a knife that goes off in the wrong direction before turning and hitting the target dead center.
Flashback Over:
The whole room stared at the T.V. concerned on why a three year old was throwing knives.
Snape Continued: when you were seven you turned invisible…
Flashback:
Calla is hiding under her bed before we here screaming muffled through a door her eyes go wide with terror and she disapears.
Ra’s: Nadia! You failed your test today submit yourself for punishment
Sirius growled knowing what it meant when an adult said that. Snape narrows his eyes so maybe he will finally figure out who hurt the poor girl. Many people gasp in shock.
Flashback Over:
Snape Continued: and most recently about ten months ago you manipulated your shadow
Flashback:
There is maniacal laughter and all we see is Calla blurred hiding behind an oil drum. We see the shadow appear to be running in an opposite direction while Callas is still curled up in a ball.
Joker: After her
Then there is clattering and gun fire.
All muggle borns and some half bloods jerk back in shock and fear while Lily wraps her daughter into a tight hug which Calla fights to get out of but fails to do so.
The camera tilts a little and we can see Callas leg is severely broken
This time the whole was shocked due to the terrible injury.
Flashback Over:
Snape Continued: these of course are just your most powerful occurrences there have been several minor uses of accidental magic as well
Bruce and Calla look at eachother
Bruce: Wait here while the family and I discuss somethings
Scene:
Calla is leaving the manor with Professor Snape and stands beside a girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes. The two smiles clearly know each other.
Calla: well if it isn’t Briar Isley-Quinn
Briar: Nadia
The two pull each other into a hug
“Your friends with her,” a particularly prejudiced Gryffindor jerked towards the Slytherine.
“Yes do you have a problem with that,” Calla narrowed her eyes at the boy who gulped nervously in response.
Briar: now my mums won’t have to kidnap you for a playdate
“Kidnap,” Lily gasped. Calla who finally pulled free from the hug disappeared under the table popping out between Sirius and Remus. Both James and Lily blink back their hurt at their daughter not wanting to be around them. They also felt a little jealous of their two friends but they shoved that down it wasn’t either of them fault.
Calla: so your birth parents are wizards to
Briar: Yea some old noble family. Don't matter much though cause I’m gonna change my name in the wizarding world to Briar Dahlia Isley-Quinn and there ain’t nothin’ nobody can do to stop me. What bout’ you?
Once again people were surprised they had assumed Briar was a muggle born. Sirius narrowed his eyes suspiciously at the girl.
Calla: My wizarding name is Calla Agnes Potter. Apparently they're an important family in the wizarding world too. I'm rolling with it however I desire to keep my home life and wizarding life separate.
Briar: Thats fair
Snape clears his throat and the two girls stop whispering and grabs Snapes arm they apparate away.
