It’s been three years since her life was changed, so dramatically that for some unknown reason she doesn’t even consciously remember the actual events of her 8th birthday ever occurring. She’s plagued with strange dreams about people she doesn’t even know, and things happening she’s never been witnessed to. She’s finally given the chance to escape the home she’s the black sheep in and go to Hogwarts. see chapter One for Sensitive Topic/Issue/Theme warning.

She was positive the first week of school wasn’t supposed to take this long to get through, but it has. Her relationships with her housemates and her head of house hasn’t improved much, if anything its gotten worse. She meets with her headmaster and is given a journal she’s seen frequently in dreams, it isn’t until she’s crying in the hallway that all the information hits her.

The actual entries from Avianna's diary, giving a small look at the missing month of her life.

Germanicus returns, summer break occurs. Ava makes a new friend, But finds out something she rather not involving herself and another friend, Severus. Her cousin gets married, She speaks to Black once again but things don’t turn out as bad as before. The year passes by and she goes home for spring break finally getting rid of the if.

The supposed perfect dress, for the perfect occasion, but not the perfect person. Her first date, strange, but ignored. Year three, a calm before the storm?

What made this year so different then last year? Now when she would be alone with Severus things where different, the strange tension that once was there, it’s gone now. She didn’t know when she unconsciously changed her mind about things, Severus, and his friends, or why. Possibly she has come to know the true world she’s growing up in, she knows what lurks in the shadows and is ready to except the slightest happiness she can find. Weather this be forced or not, it’s easier this way though it may feel as wrong as something can be this is her path.

Finals passed and term ended, she passed classes but only just. Lily and her friendship wasn’t exactly on good terms when she left school, apparently two stressed out 15 year olds living together wasn’t the best combination for a relationship. She was defiantly not looking forward to owls or fifth year, she seriously needed to try harder.

The night before Christmas vacation Avianna spies an interesting old paper. Her interest and curiosity take hold and she sets out after all her dorm mates have gone to bed. The trip to her destination turns out to be an even bigger trip then she set out for.
