Harry Potter and the Raptor [Harry Potter]

Annabella Brian had been different from other children ever since she was little. Whenever she was in danger or overwhelmed by her emotions, strange coincidences would always appear, turning disaster into fortune. Her first pair of adoptive parents died in a shipwreck, her second pair in a fire, and everyone in her third foster family suffered food poisoning. She was the only one who survived each time. Escaping death might not necessarily be a good thing. Rumors gave her a rather unsavory reputation. During the summer between graduating from primary school and starting middle school, she received an acceptance letter delivered by a tawny owl, right onto her bedroom bed. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? It sounded like a reality show or a prank. She tried to figure out who was playing this joke by analyzing the paper and ink, using the tawny owl as her starting point. The next day, the letter's sender, Minerva McGonagall, proved that magic existed by turning her stuffed rabbit into a real one. "Miss Brian, you are a witch." From the first witch she had ever met, Anna learned that drowning, fire, and spoiled food could not easily kill a wizard. A strange place where nobody knew her would have no ridiculous, foolish, laughable rumors either. Curious and excited, she followed Professor McGonagall and watched as the tip of her wand tapped an ordinary brick wall three times. The door to a new world slowly opened before her. On September 1, 1991, Harry Potter entered the Wizarding World through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Aboard the Hogwarts Express, he was sharing every strange and wonderful snack from the trolley with his first friend when someone knocked on the compartment door. A girl his age stood there. A brown owl, a little larger than Hedwig, perched on her suitcase. Her eyes were much like her owl's, sharp enough to pierce a person's heart. Only later did Harry notice her beautiful, raven-black hair, her lovely features, and her classical bearing. But what made the greatest impression on him were her smoky gray eyes. Later still, he was shocked to learn that owls were birds of prey. Annabella Brian was one, too. Even among wizards, it was rare to see a first-year wield her wand with the imposing force of a two-handed greatsword, beating a bully larger and taller than her until they were sprawled on the floor. *Harry Potter fanfiction romance, next generation, Gryffindor-leaning, actual children, lighthearted love story (probably) *Reference order: original novels > official website materials > Rowling interviews > film series.
