A/N: This is the first story that I have ever published, and I hope to post new chapters by midnight on Sundays... probably not but it is nice to dream. :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC's and the plot. Everything you recognize belongs to JKR.
Cori stared out the window waiting for dawn to break. She had been sitting on the ledge for hours. She needed morning to come. She needed to get home. She needed her family to be safe. Cori had been waiting for break since term had started. Her family was in constant danger, and being the oldest child, being what she was, it was her job to keep them safe. You see, Cori was special. She was one of the most powerful witch to be born in centuries. She was a metamorphmargus, (A/N: SP?) an elementalist, and could make anything happen that she wanted with just her mind. All in all, she was very, special. The sun finally peeked out over the horizon. It was beautiful. The sunlight danced and shimmered across the frozen waters of the lake, it lit up the snow with a spectacular orange glow, making it sparkle and dance. Cori wanted to freeze time. She wanted the war to be over, her family to be safe, and her life to be normal. She scoffed at herself. No matter how hard they fought, no matter how many people died, the war would rage on, and her family would remain in the dead center. Just last week, a little first year had been pulled out of her classes to be told that her parents had been found dead in their home. It was that moment, watching the sun rise over the grounds that she promised herself. She would be the one to stop it. She would be the one to put an end to the war. It would all end with her.
