It wasn't easy having a gold digger mom. Well, maybe it was, but not our mom. She was different. One, she was a witch, two she didn't allow us to have freedom of clothes and such, and three she killed all her husbands. Yeah, she was a widow who married into money and then her husbands suddenly got into an "accident."

When I was around four or five, I saw such a thing. The house burning down, my dad sacrificed himself for me. My mom she didn't care if I made it out alive, all she cared about was the money. Also she wasn't a Slytherin. Not all bad people are put into Slytherin, okay? When going to Hogwarts she was a Gryffindor and she certiantly showed the traits of one.

I loved my dad and ever since finding out, I protected my younger brother Carmon. He's about a year younger than me, and had a different dad than me. The death of my dad caused me to hate my mother. I eventually found out about her evil doings and that hatred, well turned into hatred. All I could do was watch as she did those things, but I knew she loved my dad. She never said it, but from her face when she looked at a picture of him, I knew she did. If she loved him then why did she kill him? Well, for the money. She was crazy like that.

Her maiden name was Black. Yeah, like the Black family, Sirius Black, Regulus Black, and well the Blacks. My mom was disowned and erased from the family tree. She never told us about her past, I didn't even know who my grandparents were.

Our mom treated us like dolls. Essentially that's what we were like to her. She dressed us up in the clothes she wanted us to wear. She made our food and put how much she wanted us to eat on our plate. She wanted us to be "perfect weight" as she put it. She wanted us to be the perfect children in her eyes. At Hogwarts, I got away from all of that. I got to be myself. My name is Thalia Pena and this is my story at Hogwarts.

I smiled to myself as I flopped down onto my bed in my dorm room. Blue was the main color in the room. I had been sorted into Ravenclaw. I got up and pulled my trunk onto the bed. I grinned as my cat jumped onto my bed. Her name was Lelia and she was a black cat with yellow eyes. I scratched her head, causing her to purr before I pulled my hand away and opened up my trunk.

In the morning, I was one of the few Ravenclaws to wake up and get breakfast early. I grabbed a book from my bookbag and hurried along, swinging it onto my shoulder. I hadn't met anyone yet, but that was fine with me. I was used to being alone. I sat down and started eating as a plate appeared in front of me. I set down my potions book and put food onto my plate, as I opened it up and started reading it. I rolled my eyes, potions was going to be easy.

I started early at home, so this was easy. I closed the book, before grabbing a piece of bread. It couldn't hurt to read it again, but she didn't feel like it now, plus she needed to eat. My eyes widened when a girl sat across from me. She shyly smiled and I smiled back.

"I'm Thalia Pena, who are you?" I asked, cuasing her to look up in surpise. "O-oh" She stuttered out, blushing a bit with her eyes widened. She then recovered and cleared her throat. "I'm Grace Santana, it's nice to meet you!" She answered, smiling at her. She poured herself a bowl of soup and looked down at my book. "Why did you stop reading it?" She asked, titling her head a little. I stopped drinking my juice and looked at her.

"Well, I already know this stuff" I answered, flushing a bit. I didn't want to look like a know it all, but it was true, if not a little embarrasing. Grace smirked at me. "I can see why you're in Ravenclaw then" She stated, starting to dig into her food.

I chuckled at that and grabbed more food. "Don't we have Potions first with the Hufflepuffs?" I asked after a few moments of comfortable silence between us. Grace hummed and nodded before sighing. "I'm just hoping they know what they're doing, being Hufflepuffs and everything" She admitted.

I raised a brow at her. "So you're calling them idiots?" I asked, glaring a little. Grace looked at me, seeing my glare she shaked her head. "No, it's just...Ravenclaw is known for their smartness..meanwhile Hufflepuffs have the reputation for being dumb, but kind" She answered, chuckling nervously. "Ah, okay" I said, returning back to my food. "I get what you're saying"

"Thanks I don't want to come off as a prat or prick you know?" She chuckled making me smile at her once more.

Later on in potions I sat down next to Grace. Hufflepuffs were other side, meanwhile we were on the other side with the other Ravenclaws. I turned my head as the doors opened and I was greeted with the fight of Severus Snape, the potions teacher who had a bad reputation and was said to hate Gryffindors with a passion.
