*Third Person*

Maria Housten woke up with a start. Where am I? She thought. Just then a big figure slowly started coming towards her. "Ma...ri...a.." it earilly said. "Wh-wha-what d-do yo-you want f-from m-me?" she stuttered. The figure didn't answer, it just kept creeping closer to her. It reached out it's charcoal black hand towards her and she screamed.

*Maria's P.O.V*

I sat up in my bed, gasping for breath. This was the sixth time this month that I've had that dream. I'm starting to get worried... I'll ask my mum about it later.

Now, what am I gonna wear today? I walked over to my closet and saw just the thing. I grabbed my stuff and walked to the bathroom. I set my things down on the toilet seat and turned on the shower. I took off my pajamas and stepped into the hot shower.

Fifteen minutes later I got out and wrapped a towel around my hair and dried myself off with another. Then I put my clothes on and brushed my shoulder lengthed black hair.

Then I walked out and walked downstairs. "Hey Mum." I greeted my mother.

"Wow Mar, you look beautiful!" she gushed.

"Erm..Thanks." I was wearing a black off-the-shoulder t-shirt and a pair of navy blue Jean capris. I was also wearing my favourite black converse hightops.

I walked into the living room and plopped onto the couch. Today we were going to Diagon Alley to get my supplies for Hogwarts. Yep, you heard me right. This year im going to Hogwarts for my first year and I am so exited!

Mum told me that when we get there, first we're getting my wand from Ollivanders, then going to Flourish and Blotts to get my books and then to Eyelops Owl Emporium to get a pet cat! If you're wondering why I want a cat instead of a owl, it's because I honestly don't like birds..

"Maria! Come into the kitchen to get your breakfast! I made waffles and bacon, your favourite!" Called Mum. With that I ran into the kitchen and plopped into my favourite chair.

I stared down at my plate of food "Thanks Mum, I'm starving!" I exclaimed. Then I shoved a fork full of bacon into my mouth.

My mother stared at me. "Mar, Don't do that. Your going to end up choking." Then she finished her breakfast and walked out of the room. She probably went to go wake up my twin brother, Elliot. I was right. "Elliot Housten, Wake up!" my mother yelled up the stairs.

"Maria," My mother started, walking into the room. "Can you go wake up your brother for me?" She asked.

I groaned and shoveled the last bit of food into my mouth. "Fine." I said, walking out of the room. I ran upstairs and knocked on my brothers door. "Oi! Elliet, Wake up!" I said, still pounding on the door. I heard a grown and the door flew open.

He looked at me, half awake, and mumbled "Do I have to?"

I laughed at him and said, "Yes, yes you do. Today we're going to Diagon Alley, Remember?" When he heard that, he slammed the door and came out a second later fully dressed.

"Wow, that was fast." I told him. Then we walked downstairs and Elliet walked into the kitchen and ate his food.

A half hour later, we were all ready to go to Diagon Alley. "Okay guys, hold on tight to me." Mum told us. We were gonna do side along apparation, which is something I hate. I gripped my mothers arm tight and she twisted on her heel. A second later I felt like my insides were getting pulled apart and then squeezed and then pulled apart again.

I closed my eyes tightly until the pain stopped. I opened my eyes and looked around; we were standing right outside Ollivanders in Diagon Alley. I smiled over at Elliot. "Hey, Ell, are you exited or what?!" I asked him, jumping up and down in anticipation.

He smiled back at me, "Yeah, totally!" then mum pulled us inside the wand store. Inside we were greeted by an old man.

This must be Ollivander, I thought to myself. He smiled at my mum. "Why hello, Melinda! What a pleasent surprise! These are your children, I presume?"

Mum looked down at us and then up at Mr Ollivander again. "Yup, they sure are! They are starting there first year at Hogwarts this year." she said.

He smiled at us. "Hmm, who wants to go first?" he asked us.

"I do!" me and Elliot exclaimed at the same time.

Mr Ollivander smiled at me. "How about you go first?" he asked me.

I glanced at Elliot and saw that he was glaring at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and turned towards Mr Ollivander. "Sure, I'd love to go!"

He then handed me a long black box and I took out a long brown wand. "Holly with Unicorn Hair, eleven inches, Springy," he said. I waved it and the papers that were once on his desk vanished. He snatched it away from me. "No, Definetely not this one." then he put the box away and grabbed another one.

"Birch and Dragon Heartstring, Ten and a Half inches, Rather bendy." I waved this one and a vase, filled with beautiful blue and yellow flowers, shattered. "Nope, not this one either."

After many failed attempts, Mr Ollivander took out another box. He handed it to me and said, "English Oak and Dragon heartstring, 12 and 3 quarter inches, unbending" I waved it around and felt a feeling of blissful warmth spread throughout my body and some green and silver sparks shot out of the wand.

"Very percurliar. Well, I expect many great things from you." he said staring from my wand to me to my wand then back again.

I just stared blankly at him. "Umm.. I hope you don't mind me asking, but...what do you mean?"

He just stared at me. "This wand used to belong to Salazar Slytherin's daughter, Sylvia Slytherin. She gave it to me to give to Slytherin's heir when she died. It was part of her will." I gasped.

I looked up at my mother. "Do you know anything about this, Mum?" I asked her. She nodded.

"Yes, I do. Sylvia Slytherin is your great-great-great-great grandmother." she stated matter-of-factly.

Elliot and I looked at her. "And you never told us this because.." We said together.

"Because I wanted to wait 'till you were older." she sighed. Mr Ollivander broke the silence.

"Well, if you guys would like to move on to Elliots wand, I say you better start now."

Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop with mine and Elliots new wands (Elliots wand was Maple and Pheonix feather, eight and a half inches, flexible). We walked to Flourish and Blotts and got our books and then to Madame Malkins to get our robes. Then finally we got to Eyelops Owl Emporium.

Elliot and I ran in and I instantly went over to the owls. I looked at all the cats meowing and..well...talking to eachother.

Then I saw the most beautiful kitten ever. It had charcoal black fur, the same colour as my hair, and piercing dark blue eyes. I grabbed mum and pulled her over to the kitten.

"Mum, Can I get her? She's so cute!" Mum looked at her and then at the price.

She smiled. "Sure, why not." I squealed with delight and grabbed the carrier she was in and set it down on the counter. My mum payed for her and we walked out of the store. Danny ended up getting a beautiful owl with white feathers and bright yellow eyes.

Once we got home I asked Danny what ge was gonna name him. "Azazel." he replied. Then he asked me what I was going to name mine.

I thought for a moment. "Marceline. Marcy for short." then I looked into the eyes of my small kitten. "Do you like that name?" Her reply was a satisfied meow and I smiled.

A/N First chapter! Yay! I really hope you enjoyed :)
