Chapter 1
Jade was standing in front of her front door as she dugg around in her Gucci clutch for her house key. There it was! She picked up the silver beautifuly engraved key and and turned it in the lock. Immediately upon entering the house she felt that something was wrong. Somehow the house just didn't seem right. Normaly it was such a happy place. She kicked off her Marc Jacobs heels, let down her waist-length, silky, curly blonde hair from its ponytale and marched into the kitchen. There was her mother, standing in the kitchen, looking angered.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOUNG LADY?!" screamed her mother.
"I just went to the mall to hang out with some friends!" I said in my defense.\
"YOU NEED TO TELL SOMEONE EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE!" she shouted again in my face. "I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS. TELL ME, OR DAD, OR YOUR BROTHER, OR ONE OF THE MAIDS!"
She burst into tears and ran up into my room. What was wrong with her mother!? She was being so ridiculous. After all, Jade was 14. The mall was only a few blocks away! And Jade's mother had always trusted her before! Jade flopped down onto her soft canopy bed and continued to sob. She felt so hurt and dark inside. She just wanted to lay there forever and never leave the house again. She pulled up the covers over her cute pink & white aeropostale dress .Suddenly, she heard someone open the door of her bedroom. Whoops, she had forgotten to lock it! She grabbed one of the goose-feather pillows off her bed and threw it towards the door. She heard it hit whoever was there.
"Go away!!" She blurted.
"Jade, I really need to talk to you about how irresponsible you are being!" It was her mother. Ugh! Couldn't she just leave her alone?
Jade got up off of the bed and wiped away the tears from her crystal blue eyes. "What do you want mom!?"
"You are completely ridiculous! I need you to be more responsible! How was I to know you went to the mall!? Someone could have kidnapped you!"
"Mom I was with friends! I can't believe you don't trust me!"
"I think I'm too trusting, that's my problem! I have no control over you anymore! You are grounded for the rest of the summer!!"
Jade became so angry. She felt like she had a raging monster inside her heart. She clenched her hands into fists, and suddenly screamed at her mother, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Suddenly, a red burst of light shot our from her hands and shot at her mother.
"Ouch!!" Her mother fell to her knees, rubbing her chest where the red light had hit her. "What did you just do!?"
Jade was shocked. What just happened?? "Are you okay!?" she asked.
Her mother looked at her with fear in her eyes, and then got up and went back downstairs.
Jade fell on her bed and began to cry again. She had no idea what was going on, and she felt drained from what had just happened. Then, she heard her door open again.
"Can't you just go away!? I want to be alone!"
"Pardon me for entering at a bad time, but I do have some important information for you, Miss Juddington."
Jade's heart raced as she heard an unfamiliar voice in her room. She quickly turned around and sat up and wiped away the tears from her eyes. In her blurry vision, she saw an old man with long white hair and a matching beard standing in front of her bed. He was wearing long cobalt robes and half-moon spectables.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Jade shouted.
"Please calm down. My name is Professor Dumbeldore and I am from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"What?!" She didn't understand what he was saying.
"Perhaps I can explain… may I sit down?"
"No."
"Miss Juddington, you are a witch."
"What?! How did you get in my house?"
"I can apparate. Now, let me explain. Some people can do magic, and they are called wizards and witches. Mostly, magical blood runs in familys. But you are a special case. You have magical blood even though the rest of your family doesn't. That explains that incident you just had."
"Am I adopted then?"
"I have no idea, but there is a magical school in Britain that is meant to teach students how to use their magical abilities and control them. And since you have magical powers that aren't under your control, it's imperative that you go too."
"Oh."
It started to make sense to Jade. All the way in Britain, though! That was very far from her home in New York. But… magic! The thrill was inevitable. She wanted to go!
"When are we going, then?"
"Hold on, dear. First we must explain this to your parents and make sure they are okay with it."
Jade was momentarily silenced. She really didn't want to talk to her parents right now. She would be so happy just to escape from them! Apparently, her feelings were betrayed by her eyes because then Dumbledore said:
"I'll take care of it, just stay here" with a twinkling in his eye.
He left the room and Jade realized that she would need to pack! She grabbed her pink suitcase set from out of her closet and started throwing things inside. She packed nearly all her favorite clothes, all of the makeup and beauty products from her vanity, and the numerous hair care and hygene products out of her bathroom. Of course, she grabbed her diary and a photo album of pictures of her friends. They'd be sorry when they realized that she was gone and had never appreciated her as much as they should have.
While she was packing, her mom and Professor Dumbledoer came back into her room. Her mom had tears in her eyes.
"I can't believe you're leaving!"
Her mother ran up and hugged her. Jade stiffly returned it and didn't meet her mother's eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I have to mom. I can't hurt people like you or anyone else again"
"Okay sweetie… I undserstand. Write often and be careful!"
"Yes mom." Jade responded meanly.
Dumbledore and Jade went downstairs and out the front door. It was now dark out. Jade asked Dumbledore, "How are we doing to get there?"
"Well, if you are up for it, we'll go by brooms. If not, then I'll take you by side-along apparition. But that is more difficult and can be dangerous."
"I'll try the brooksticks…" she said with a shaky voice.
Dumbledore conjured up a shiny Firebolt and handed it to her. "Mount this, and kick off the ground."
Jade shakily stepped over the broom and kicked off the ground. She felt the most amazing feeling ever! She never wanted to be on the ground again.
"You think you can make the journey then?" He asked, smiling slightly at her natural talent.
"Oh yes!" she said. She zoomed around and tested out the speed. Dumbledore was soon up in the air too. "Wow you are really good. Just stay behind me. We'll be flying for a while, so let me know if you need to rest."
He sped off in the distance and Jade soon followed. The wind made tears in her eyes but her heart couldn't be more hopeful! She felt exhilarated and couldn't wait to get there. And the sights below her were marvelous. All the big cities lit up in their brightness, or the quiet country side, and soon the ocean waves in the moonlight.They were riding for so long. It was about 4 hours total, but Jade loved every minute of it. She was a little bit sad when it was over cause she didn't know if she'd ever be able to do it again.They landed in a deserted street in downtown London. It was so exciting for Jade to be in England! She wished she had her camera so she could take pictures of everything! Dumbledore took their brooms and cast a spell with his wand so that they disappeared, which made Jade slightly upset. They started walking and came to a shabby looking pub that Jade otherwise wouldn't have noticed.
"This is the Leaky Cauldron, a pub and an inn. It leads to Diagon Alley, the wizard shopping center where most Hogwarts students go to purchase the materials they need."
"Oh shoot! Professor… I forgot my money at home, do you have a spell that can transport it here or something?"
"That won't be necessary. Hogwarts can cover the expenses, seeing as how the circumstances are so unusual."
He took out a pouch of coins and handed it to her. Jade was confused. He was giving her money for school supplies in quarters?
"That's wizard money. Galleons, sickles, and knuts."
She understood then, said thank you, and pocketed the pounch.
"Here is your list of school supplies that you'll need," he said, giving her the piece of parchment, "Of course, all the stores are closed now, so I'll take you to the inn and you can shop for them tomorrow. School starts on the first. You'll need to take the Hogwarts Express to get there on that morning. This piece of paper explains it all," he said, handing her another sheet.
When they entered, Jade was surprised by the warmth it was. Professor Dumbledore walked over to the barman and Jade trailed behind.
"Good evening, Tom," Dumbledore said to the barman.
"Good evening, Albus! Care for a drink?"
"No thank you, but I could use a room. Let's see… 4 nights will do it."
Tom reached under the bar and grabbed a key and handed it to Dumbledore. "Here you go, Albus. Room 104. Need anything else?"
"Nope that's fine. Dumbledore took out some coins from his pocket and showed Jade how to count them out and pay for the room.
Then, he led Jade into the back room. They faced a brick wall. "This is how you can get into Diagon Alley for shopping," Dumbledore tapped a few bricks with his wand and Jade watched in awe as the brick wall split apart and formed into an archway.
"Amazing!" she gasped.
Then they went up to her room, where Dumbledore used magic to transport her suitcases there. "This is where we'll have to depart, Miss Juddington. I'm very busy as headmaster of the school, so I can't oversee you during the next few days, but feel free to owl me if you have any questions. I must go now, good night and good luck!" And with that, he turned around and with a pop! was gone.Jade stood there for a little while, soaking in the enormity of the situation. She was in England, in wizarding England no less! She couldn't believe it. She started unpacking, and by the time she was finished she layed down on her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
