Chapter One
The door opened, admitting a blast of warm, summer air before closing. Looking up, Madam Rosmerta stopped reading her book, wondering who could be out this early in the morning. Them her eyes fell on a girl no older than fifteen. She was a strange looking girl, even compared to some of the foreign wizards who sometimes stayed at the The Broomsticks while visiting Dumbledore.
On first glance you saw that she wore an old, tattered, dark green tunic, held down by a thin leather belt, a full-length, black skirt, light, travel-worn, leather boots, the kind elves wear, and a faded, smoke-gray cloak that had once been black. Taking a closer look you would notice that she had light brown hair, forest green eyes, and fair skin. You would also notice that a) her hair was in a messy braid; and b) she carried herself like a pure-blood.
"Are you Madam Rosmerta?" the girl inqured in a wary tone, bring Madam Rosmerta back to earth in a heart beat.
"Yes, can I help you?" she replied, yet thought to herself,' So young, yet so troubled.'
"Perhaps. I saw your ad in the 'Daily Prophet' and I wondered if you were still in need of assistance," the girl said in a tight voice that did not suit her.
With a look of regret on her face, Rosmerta apologized," I'm soory, luv, but I've already got someone. However, you might try up at the school," Madam Rosmerta finished brightly, remembering what old Dumbledore had said on his last visit to Hogsmeade.
"Thank you anyways, and I think I will try up at Hogwarts," was all Rosmerta heard before the door opened and the strange girl disappeared into the dawn.
