A solitary figure walked across the ghostly graveyard. Her name was Selina Treflwynd, daughter of one of the richest witches in the wizarding world. As she strode, her gaze landed upon the numerous tombstones. How many innocents had her parents killed while serving the Dark Lord? How many people had her parents and her kins land in the desolate ground? She didn't know, but her family history was filled with servants of the Dark Lord. Uncle Avery had killed 13 innocent wizards, who were trying to stop the evil of Voldermort. Cousin Syon, who was only a couple of years older than her, had tortured, and killed 3 members of the Order of the Phoenix. There were more, but Selina did not care to think of them.

Summer vacation had ended, and in a hatter of minutes, she would be leaving her house, and going back to Hogwarts, School of witchcraft and wizardry. There she would be constantly reminded of her family's treachery, for she was in Slytherin, and was made prefect for her fifth year there.

It all seemed so long ago, when Selina Treflwynd walked up to the sorting hat, put it on and was immediately put in to Slytherin. "Selina," a voice impatiently called ", we're leaving soon!" It was her mother, a former Death Eater. How she despised her, mother or not. Mrs. Treflwynd had been in Voldermort's inner circle, Selina had never found out who he father was, but he must have been a Death Eater as well. a powerful one. Coming out of her thoughts Selina realized that she was late, she didn't want to miss the Hogwarts Express, and so she ran towards the sound of her mother's voice. Her despise for her mother would have to be overcome. in time.

The "car" finally came into view through the white mist surrounding the graveyard. It wasn't really a car; a limousine would probably describe it better. "Newest model!" her mother was saying proudly. Selina couldn't care less what model the car was, and so ignored her mother's snobby chatter. It was just an act, concealing her true nature. Selina knew that deep inside, Mrs. Treflwynd hated muggles, half-breeds, and wished nothing more than to have Lord Voldermort in power again.

The engine roared to life and Selina found herself clutching her wand more tightly. It was a curious thing, made by nature rather than a wand maker. Yet it still contained great magick. The smooth wood curved intricately, and at its top was a bird's head. The spells would come out from the bird's bead. Despite the wand's origin, it was obviously made for Selina.

The "car" suddenly stopped, waking Selina from her day dream. "We're here dear." Her mother called. Selina groggily got off the car and pinned her shiny prefect badge on. He trolley would be waiting for her at the platform 9 ¾. She walked through the magickal barrier and her brother, Cole, who was of wizarding age, levitated her things into the Hogwarts Express. As she was about to board the train, Professor Snape, the potion master, caught up with her and said, "Selina, go to the Prefect's Carriage at the back of the train for a brief meeting about your duties."

Thoroughly mystified, Selina want the way that Snape had been pointing to.

Upon approaching the carriage, Selina wondered if this year, her fifth year at Hogwarts would be any better than the others. Maybe now she could put her knowledge and hidden talents to good use, against the Dark Lord. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Authoress: hem hem. do you people reading this think it's too short?
