A/N: hey, this is my first story here so if I mess up on anything just feel free to tell me. The reason I picked this theme is; one: I like vampires (I even write novels about them) and two I really like Harry Potter, so I just decided to combine the two and see what happened! By the by please R&R!

Love,

Raven

P.S. I rated it M because of some stuff that'll come later.

"Get the hell out of bed Marina! I want to see your ass in a chair at the kitchen table in five minutes!"

Marina's mother was not always the best or nicest person in the world. And the idea that

she had become a mother often scared most people that met her.

Marina dragged her feet out of the warm bed and put them sluggishly on the almost ice cold floor. She muttered to herself as she put on a bath robe and walked sleepily downstairs.

"That's good Marina, you were actually on time today." Her mother said sharply as she set the table. "And just to remind you in case you were thinking of ever getting dressed, Naki will be here in five minutes. So I suggest you eat your breakfast as fast as you can and get those tight little buns upstairs to get dressed."

(Naki was Marina's trainer, who helped her to prepare her mind and her body for battles. After all, no vampire hunter wants to be untrained.)

So, on her mother's orders, Marina wolfed her breakfast of eggs and sausages and ran upstairs to prepare.

It was fifteen minutes before she got back downstairs wearing jeans, a tank-top and her hair in a ponytail. Naki was already sitting on the couch in the living room when Marina walked in. Naki got up and bowed to her as she sat down. Marina just nodded at him to show she understood.

"It's wonderful that you actually got here before Naki had to leave!" Marina's mother said frowning.

"Sorry ma'am, I didn't want to have bad breath and PJs for him."

At these words her mother got up and advanced towards the chair where she sat.

"Don't be smart with me young lady. I will slap that face of yours right off if you say something like that to me again." And she walked out to make a snack for Naki.

Naki smiled, his young face crinkled just slightly as he did this, and his green eyes were full of mirth. "Your mother has not changed since I was last here."

Marina smiled at this. "Naki, you were here last Thursday." She said.

"I keep my previous statement."

Marina laughed. But her mother heard her and yelled from inside the kitchen. "Stop all that fun! I want to hear you training! Now!"

"You heard my mother Naki, let's go outside and 'train'."

Naki folded his hands and leaned forward in his chair. "Actually Marina, I came here for a different reason."

Marina looked at Naki with suspicion. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that I have decided that it would be best for your training that you learn a little magic. It would boost your fighting power and I think it would do you good to have a social life."

"A social life? Are you kidding me? I have never been able get a friend in my life. And plus,how is learning magic supposedto help meget friends?"

"Yes, I understand you have difficulties making friends.And the reason magic will help youmaking friends isdo you remember a couple of weeks ago when I talked to you about that school? Hogwarts? Well if you went there you would be staying in a dorm, so being friends with someone else would be forced on you. Plus, I already talked to the headmaster Dumbledore and he has agreed to allow you to go there, even you have no magical tendency and you are sixteen. Over the starting age of normal students."

"But Naki, a magic school? I wouldn't fit in." Marina said walking into the kitchen.

"Yes you wou-" Naki began, but he was cut off by an owl flying in through the window. It flew over Marina's head and dropped a letter at her feet and flew out of the kitchen door.

"That should be the letter from the headmaster." Said Naki, still sitting calmly in his chair.

Marina picked it up and opened it. It was indeed from Dumbledore. It stated that she had been accepted at Hogwarts and that she should take the Hogwarts express from Kings Cross station, platform nine and three quarters at eleven o'clock on September first. And it gave her a list of books she would be needing.

Her mother grabbed the letter and looked it up and down.

"There is no way in hell that I am ever going to pay for books!" She yelled.
