I do not own harry potter.

As I made my way through the garden for the last time I couldn't help but sigh. This had been one of my most favorite places in the palace. It so full of life and color unlike the other mostly routine parts of royal life. If only the world was this harmonized with nature. Everything in the garden served a bigger purpose and nothing hurt something else. It sadden me greatly that it would be a long time before I would be able to walk in this garden again. It would also be a long time before I was home again.

As if I didn't already know, I thought to myself, it was one reason that had finalized my going to this new school that felt like it was a world away and in a way it was. While the attacks were something to worry about it was a threat much closer to home that had the guards running odd hours. I didn't know how to feel about that. I looked back at a guard who had been assigned to watch me and wondered if his wife was waiting up for him at his home, I sighed.

I started to go to my chamber. On my way there I saw a dull flash catch my eye, but it was probably nothing. Anyway it was too late at night to do anything. Soon I was in my room getting ready for bed.

As soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into another foggy sleep. Tonight I would not see any strange things that would happen in the future, it was only dark black that gave the illusion of minutes when it was really a full night of rest.

My first thought before I left the palace was 'I'm going to Hogwarts!' before I left for the train.

this is a new story I thought i would give a try. Tell me if you like it and want me to keep going.
