Alright! I just wanted to try something new. This chapter is dedicated to Sarah #2, the one who's related to royal people and does not know if I know that she doesn't know she knows I exist. Lol. Oh, and perhaps to the non existent bubbles in my head...and my kitten Kouji, who tried to help me type by jumping on the keyboard for an hour. Well, read and review! Enjoy! P.S. Sorry for not writing in a long time, but I will write more to the other stories too! AHAGD.

Chapter 1-The Woman

One day as I happened to be walking down the streets of Tuscany, taking a break from photographing various people of which were doing everyday life activities that one would see in Italy. As I turned the corner to get a drink from a local bar, something happened to catch my eye.

It was a young woman, perhaps in her late 20's with a trail of children following her all with hair the color of the evening sun, save one that was black. Yet he seemed closest to the woman, always staying close to her heels and seemingly directing the other children to remain nearby, although he was the youngest. The idea of drinking was quickly abandoned as I found myself entranced by the woman and followed her closely behind. Although what I was doing at the time was perhaps quite wrong, curiosity got the best of me and since nothing interesting had happened today by far, I decide to take a chance on her and see where it would lead me.

I went about her in this manner for about 10 minutes or so, when she began to quicken her pace and along with the children went into a place that I knew only magical people could see and enter. I grew delighted with the fact that maybe she was truly a witch and perhaps that I could actually meet with her without asking slightly out of the ordinary questions. I gathered my nerve and went into the pub, said a quick hello to the bartender, and went to the back alley in which led to Wizard Italy.

For a brief moment I hesitated as I watched the woman and the children go through the barrier, but as they were going a slight wind came up and blew off the woman's white sun hat. It was but a mere few feet away from me, but the woman did not see to notice too much, and merely glanced up before going on her way. After a few minutes when it seemed apparent that she most likely would not come back fro the hat, I picked it up and crossed the barrier, hoping she was still nearby so that I could return it to her and try to engage her into conversing with me a bit.

As soon as I crossed into the wizarding world, a horde of shopping witches came running by me at the same time when I happened to catch sight of the red headed woman, who was several feet away. I started to call out for her, but in a mere moment she had turned the corner and was gone. More and more witches kept coming out of nowhere, thus stopping me to be able to pursue the woman.

When I finally managed to escape the crowd of witches, I knew it was pointless to do anything at all except to go down the direction of the path where the young woman had gone and start searching for her from there. I tightened my grip on her hat and went down the street, ignoring curious stares from walking onlookers who may have thought a man walking with a clean white hat, which he himself looked sweaty and half dirty. I just continued on my way and awaited for whatever would come to me with the passing of time in my search for the mysterious woman.

We have come to terms...

Alrighty! The 1st chapter! I know it's a bit different than what I would normally EVER think to write, but I've been having this plot idea in my head since Christmas and wanted to see where it would go. Plus, I promised Miss IB Freak over here that I would write a story for her by her bday, but since I missed the deadline, I decided to torture her slowly by uploading chapters about once a week or so. Lol. Now, if you reviewers would be so kind as to read my story, I would be most appreciative! Grazie! And Sayonara! Dreamer
