Chapter 1
Willow's POV
Tick tock, tick tock. It took me about three seconds to release what day it was. Without even looking at my clock to see the time, I jumped out of bed and grabbed my dressing gown, putting my slippers on as fast as I could. I ran downstairs at full speed, whilst trying to put my dressing grown on. Running into the kitchen, I look around. Where was mum? She is always up before me. Then it hit me as I looked out the kitchen window, it was still pitch black outside. How did I miss that? It was so obvious. I turned around and to look at the clock that hung above the stove. Four in the morning, it read. Great…. I am going to have to wait another two hours until I can wake everyone up!
After two hour of doing nothing, well not nothing. I tried to keep my mind of what day it was, I tried reading, which would normally work, but it didn't. I tried to play a game with our cat, Snitch. But he didn't like being woken up. Everything I tried just didn't take my mind off that today was the day I have been waiting for my whole live.
Finally at six o'clock my mum and dad came down stairs with my five year old brother and sister, Adrian and Aurora. I was six when Adrian and Aurora were born, I was used to being an only child and one day dad walk into my bedroom and said that my new baby brother and sister were coming and that had to go to Aunt Eliza for a couple hours. When they were born, Dad took me to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I once I saw my little brother and sister, I promised them I would never let anything hurt them. I didn't think anything would change, but it did. Once mum got home with the twins, Mum and Dad were constantly with them and I had to grow up very quickly it was pretty much over night. I hated it. They kept me up at night, woke me up early in the morning, and Mum and Dad didn't have time for me. They still don't have much time for me, but I have only stood by my promise to my little brother and sister. I won't let a fly hurt my little brother and sister no matter how much they annoyed me or how much they take my parents away from me, I would go to the ends of the earth to save them.
"Happy Birthday, Will!" Aurora said running up to me, hugging me around the waist. Yes, it was my eleven birthday, I was officially the right age to go to Hogwarts, that is why I was so excited.
"Thanks, Zora!" I said picking her up. "Wow, someone has gotten bigger overnight."
"Happy Birthday darling," Mum said giving me a kiss on the cheek. "Your presents are in the lounge room." Which I already knew, since I had spent a good half an hour looking at them, wondering what they were.
I walked into lounge to see, once again, my presents, but this time I am going to know what inside the wrapping with broomsticks and books on it. I think Mum made it especially for me. I look at my pile of presents there was a new one, it sat on top of the biggest present. It was a little envelope. I walk over to look at it. It had a sticker on it, It was the very sticker that I know for what feels like forever, it was on the front of my favourite wizard book. This sticker was the Hogwarts crest, without thinking I ripped it open and it read:

Harry Potter Fan Fiction
Cleo's POV
It's cold, very cold, I wish it was summer again, but no, it's autumn, although it feels like winter but I'm not complaining. Autumn means the month of October, and October means my birthday, really I should be in my warm bed, fast asleep, but this year is different, this year I'm turning eleven. So I'm sitting out in the lounge room, wrapped in three of the warmest quilts I have, my parents and siblings have no idea I'm out here, but they won't mind. My hands are covered by warm woollen gloves, which my grandma knitted for me; they have a pattern of Broomsticks and Golden Snitches, and my black cat, Jewel, a large Burmese cross Siamese purrs in my ear. I know I shouldn't be eating sugar at this time of night, but there are five minutes until the 31st of October, my birthday, so I'm sure it won't matter that I am roasting a bag of Marshmallows on the roaring fire which I huddle around.
I intently watch the seconds on my white and green watch tick by; before I know it my watch beeps 12:00am. I get a tingling sensation which runs down my spine, my fingers and toes begin to go numb, that's when I decide that it's way too cold for a young eleven year old, such as myself, to be out of bed, I swiftly walk upstairs to my bedroom and let the much welcome sleep engulf my body. Normally a normal eleven year old would be jumping around with excitement, because it's their birthday. But I'm not a normal 11 year old; I've always felt I was different, even if I was now a witch.
I'm now cold, freezing cold; I find my bed covers have been taken off me, but how? I'm not a restless sleeper. I only just stoped myself from screaming, as I turn my body to find my little seven year old brother Kayden, snuggled up against me, he obviously was sleepwalking again. I begin to drift back off to sleep, following his breathing pattern, when he wakes me.
"Cleo, I had another dream. This time You Know Who was closer than ever." He looked up at me, with his gorgeous green eyes, he looked a little fretful.
"Kaydey, what have I told you? Use his real name; Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself. Besides Voldemort is gone, forever." I reassured him, giving him a hug. Kayden means the world to me; he has been my best friend for ever. Even if there is a huge four year gap between us, he is very intelligent, for his age, and he looks up to me. I give him a piggyback, downstairs, to the kitchen; I sit him down on a couch near the television, and walk over to mum who gives me a huge hug and kiss saying "happy birthday".
I inhale the welcome sent of pancakes cooking in the pan, it is certainly my birthday. Suddenly right before my eyes colourful fireworks are emitted from somewhere, of course my two older brothers Lachlan and Noah have set off Wild-Fire Whiz-Bangs, which are their favourite brand of fireworks. Mum tries to get angry at my idiotic brothers, but fails as she starts giggling.
"Where's dad?" I ask mum as she fills our plates with pancakes.
"I'm sorry Cleo, but he had to rush to work, an emergency"
"Why? What emergency? There shouldn't be an emergency" I say suspiciously. My Father works as an Aura for the Ministry Of Magic; Aura's have never had an emergency since the Great War.
"Aye Cleo, here's your letter!" Noah exclaimed handing me the letter, which was written in green ink, and had red wax seal. Mum grabbed the Hogwarts book lists, and looked at them and smiled.
"Guess this means a trip to Diagon Ally".
I have noticed that people aren't reading passed this chapter, if you aren't going to read passed it than please review and tell us why. It would really help us with later chapters.
