Chapter One:
My name is Sarana. I'm 21 years old and am a little over 5' with pitch black hair that flew past my waist and blood red eyes. I'm also the founder of Keandra School for the Gifted, my school has been open for at least 100 years or so. It also doubles as an orphanage so that for any child we teach will always have a place to stay, for you see we are a school not for the normal gifted children of the world, but for the magically gifted.
Yes, at this school we teach children how to do magic. And not only that but we teach children with, oh how should I put this, extra talents how to control them. Take me for example if you will, I have on my back 7' black feathered wings. Yes, wings, as in big bird like wings that lift me into the sky and carry me away to where ever I please.
We have many students like me here, some with wings, some with tails and ears, and some with scales. we take in children of ALL types not just race and nationality. I have so many teachers to teach them all different things that I could not, like how to control the water while in the water or how to hunt and track using their extra senses. But I do excellent in flying lessons.
For you see, not many parents want to keep their children once they find out about their "gifts". I like to call it a gift for it is a gift and not a curse as some people would call it. But anyway, we take in children who are abandoned or runaway when they develop their gifts.
At the age of 10 when a child develops their magic and/or extra gifts they receive a letter telling them that they've been accepted to my school and that someone will be by the next day to talk to them and their family, if things seem like they wont bode well for the child the parent is given the choice of giving up the child or supporting them. The child has every right to see them if they so choose.
The school is located ironically in Salem, Massachusetts. Yes I know, why put a school in the one place where people were burned for being accused of using magic? Well, the magic here is real and it help my students with their control. If they can feel the magic then they can control it.
Once the children learn everything there is to learn from my school I send to out into the world hoping they find their way with not as many problem as a normal person would face. But that doesn't happen till I feel that they are ready, they are basically my children, even if I did not give birth to them I love them just the same.
Now just so you know for future reference, I'm not the principle as you would say, I gave that up about 50 into it. I'm still the founder but I leave all academic decisions to special people hand-picked by me and focus on the orphanage. But all major decisions still run through me, mind you. And that is how we start our story today, with me making a decision on whether or not to accept this invitation to visit Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
