Chapter 1 – Dumbledore
"Athena, ATHENA! You reached child get down here now!" Mrs. Bartel yelled up the stairs to my little attic. "Yes ma'am." I got up out of my tiny bed and got dressed, slipped on my old cut off jeans, with my grey and brown shirt, pulled on my sneakers and went down stairs to make breakfast for my family. As I got to the kitchen I looked at my foster family waiting for me to make the pancakes and bacon. There was my foster mom, Linda, and her husband, Mark Bartel; with there two twins Mary and Marcy. I looked nothing like them they all had light strawberry blonde hair, my hair was midnight black. You can tell the difference. At that moment a small 'thump, thump' came from the door. "Get the door Aty." The twins said at the exact same time. I just rolled my eyes ands went to get the door. The man looked rather old and he had on very weird clothes that looked like robes. He looked at me over his half-mood glasses. "Hello, whom do you wish to speak to sir?" I asked as I always did when answering the door. "Oh, I believe I'm here to see a young Athena Bartel, might you be her"? His question shocked me, but my mother's word broke my thought. "Athena, who is it? Oh, hello, is there something you need? Coming up behind me to see the man in the doorway. "Yes, I'm here to see the young Athena Bartel, I "he said but was cut off. "Athena, you insolent girl." She scolded me grabbing my hair from the back. "Please come inside, what has she done this time?" she said leading the man inside. I closed the door and followed them into the living room. "Mark, sweetie please come in here," she called. "Yes oh hello and who might you be?" he asked the man. "So silly of me I'm Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, I'm here on account of Athena. She has been accepted at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. The man apparently names Dumbledore said. "Witchcraft what does that mean?" my father asked shocked just as were the rest of us. "Mr. Bartel, that means that your daughter Athena is a witch." He stated, "I'm a what?" I almost yelled. "A witch Ms. Bartel, I'm willing to buy all her school things, she may visit on Christmas, Thanksgiving and other holidays." Dumbledore explained. "Take her, as long as we don't have to pay." My mother said leaving the room. "Athena do you want to come if so, I'd advise you to go pack your things." He asked this time directly to me. "I'll go pack," "Good Girl." I hurried up the stairs two at a time. "Hey, Aty is it true you're leaving?" Marcy asked "Looks like good news travels fast, and yes I really am." I said with a gleam in my eye. I was finally leaving, "What ever, I always knew you were a freak anyway." Again I just rolled my eyes and walked away. I didn't have many personal items so it didn't take me long to pack. When I was done I bound down the stairs with my small luggage bag and into the living room. "Are you ready?" Dumbledore asked getting out of the small armchair in the corner. "Yes sir, bye mom, dad, Mary, Marcy." They said there good-bye's and we set off into my brand new life.
