Harry Potter Fan Fic

It was her first year at Hogwarts. She was nervous, like the rest of her soon-to-year. Also, she was sure that everyone else would know so much more than her and would've grown up in Magical environments. But instead Izzy had grown up on a normal street in a normal house in a normal town. There was nothing magic about it.

Izzy grew up without her real mum. Her Dad, Kyle, raised her alone for years before he met Stella. Stella had a son of her own, his name was Craig and he was slightly older than Izzy herself. When he married Stella, Izzy was 5 years old. She wasn't happy about having a Step-Mother at the time since she had only heard about the Step-Mothers in fairy tales and they were all mean women who desperately wanted rid of their Step-Daughters. But that wasn't the case with Stella. Stella loved Kyle and Izzy and Craig. Stella tried to get Izzy to like her but Izzy was sure that Stella wanted her father all to herself and the only thing in her way was Izzy.

But on Izzy's 10th birthday, she got a strange present. As she sat on the Living Room rug in front of the fire opening her presents, there was a knock at the door.
"Go get that, will you?" Izzy's dad asked Craig, who let out an exasperated sigh and got up from the sofa by the window.
"Hey, ZZ? It's for you." Craig had shouted from the hall. Izzy joined Craig at the door and saw a woman in the doorway. The woman looked like the business woman she saw heading off to work as she caught the bus to school. She wore a light purple suit and her long black hair was almost exactly like Izzy's except, the woman wore it in a high ponytail.
"Hey, kiddo. Heard it was your 10th." The strange woman said with a light voice.
"Umm... Who are you?" Izzy asked, trying not to sound rude.
"Oh, kiddo, You don't recognise me?" She asked, looking directly at Izzy, who shook her head lightly. "Oh, well could I come in? I'd like to see your father, Kyle. If that's alright." Izzy looked at her brother before nodding and showing the woman to the Living Room.
"Dad.." Izzy said, rejoining the sea the wrapping paper and presents.

As Izzy's Dad saw the woman, he rose from his armchair, mouth gaping. "Hope." He said, staring at the woman, who was twirling the end of her ponytail before she smiled at Izzy's father.
"Kyle, Long time no speak." The woman who seemed to be called Hope said. "It's been too long." Then from the sofa can an impatient cough to get attention. It was Stella who had been sitting watching the events that had been unfolding.
"Kyle, Darling, why don't you introduce us?" Stella said.
"Oh, right yes. Everyone this is Hope Hart. My first wife and Izzy's" Kyle cleared his throat and muttered something.
"Pardon?" Stella asked.
"Izzy's Mum." Hope finished. "I am Izabella's Mother. Her true mum." Hope turned to Izzy and smiled, "I didn't expect you to remember me, Kiddo."
Izzy sat in shock. But Hope was ready to wait til Izzy was ready. And soon she was, Hope revealed a life changing secret.
