Chapter 1: Prepping for a new life.

Rina Kaza. Age: 18. Just graduated Hogwarts last year and have three days until I start Uni. My family is Indian but I'm from America. My mom had this weird idea that if we moved to london we'd all get accents but the have been futile. Which is why I attended hogwarts rather than some other school. My father is an Engineer, he is head of his own department in the Ministry that works to invent new spells and solutions the ministry may need. My mom is finally teaching again, Last year she got back to teaching as a DADA teacher for young witches and wizards at Madam Sophia's Prepatory Academy. With the wizarding world being at the brink of war, you can never be too young to learn to defend yourself. My Brother is Adam and he will start his 5th year at hogwarts and my sister , Ruma, is 7 and still goes to Sophia's. I have friends, but you're gonna meet them in a but anyways so you can learn about them then. I just finished packing my bags for a final time, tomorrow I move into the Housing complex provided by the Uni. Hopefully when I'm done I'll be getting an apartment with some of my friends.

'ring ring, Ring Ring, RIIIINNNG RIIINNNNGGGG!' 'Stupid alarm clock, ugh' 'Language!' my mom called as a turned off the alarm. I wiped the sleep out of my eyes as I made my way to the bathroom. As I settled down in the tub for a couple extra z's i heard my mom call again. 'Rina Mihanna Kaza, You better not be sleeping in the bathroom! James will be here soon and you don't wanna miss your portkey again!' One of these days I'll wake up with enough sleep, today is not that day. I took a quick shower and grab an avengers t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans and ran down.

I ate my cereal in peace while my mother prompted me on the proper outfit I should be wearing before I leave the house. At that moment James walked in through the back. "Any Kazas home?' he called. "None who want to see you!" I called back with a Cheeky grin. James was my first cousin on my mom's side. We were pretty close but he's always been closer to my idiot brother than me, which makes sense considering they're both as mature as bunch of 5 year olds. Growing up we were often mistaken as twins, besides our skin tones, he was my male counter-part. Both of us were tall and thin for our age, and were approximately the same height. We had the same glasses, taste in comics, and incessant need to keep our brothers out of trouble. In contrast no prank was too big for us. Even though we were both in Gryffindor our friend groups were vastly different, so even at school the only time we spent together was holiday shopping and saturday brunches. Also he's my mother's favorite son.

'Ignore her James, come right in!' my mom called ' and for the last time Rina, finish eating and change!'. Merlin, she's always cranky when dad's out of town. He has this yearly conference in Japan he has to go to. Ruma had just left for her friend's house and Adam was already at hogwarts.

I quickly got changed and brought my trunk down to find James and Mum bonding over new recipes they had recently tried. 'Ahem' I announced. 'nearly an hour to perfect and speaking of slow roasting it took you long enough to grab your things' 'Well i'm sorry wittle james got bowed, but the portkey leaves in 20 so you can complain to me on the way.' I quick turned to my mum to kiss her goodbye. 'Bye mom see you in about a month.' she grabbed my arm and spun me back around. 'Rina you're getting older and I realize that at your age you must have swarms of boys following you but you have to realize…' 'Mom! Are you seriously about to give me The Talk in front of James right before I leave? Besides you being a couple years late, guys Don't like me like that and I'm not crazy enough to want my father to kill me and some other poor bloke while we're in our prime.' "Fine fine, now James listen hear. I've spoken to your mum so I know I don't have to tell you that you're too young to have kids of your own. Put that energy into keeping Rina safe and sound, Merlin knows these aren't times for witches to be out alone." Mummmm, still running late here' ' oh fine, stay safe both of you and keep in touch. Call me once you've reached there. Love you both' 'Bye mum!' 'Bye Aunt Aria'. And with that James and I apparated to the Kings Cross.

Yay! I did it! idk if this was too short or anything but please let me know what you think. I'll try to update weekly either thursday nights or Fridays.
