Hi, I'm Clarissa Lilian Granger, I go by Clary, I'm fifteen, I have an older non-identical twin sister called Hermione Jean Granger, we're witches, we spent five years at Beaubatoxns Academy of Magic in Paris, France, we are fluent in both English and French.
"Girls, come down stairs" Mother called, so Hermione and I walked downstairs without asking questions, "yes Mother" I said, "I'm sending you both to England, where you will attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you'll be living with my childhood friend Andromeda Tonks, she has a daughter called Nymphadora though she hates that name, call her Dora" Mother said.
Hermione looked happy to go to England but I didn't want to leave Fluer and Gabrielle, "Mother, we have done nothing wrong so why you sending us away?" I asked in curiousity, "mon chéri, I know you've done nothing wrong, but I don't want you to have to deal with me suffering from Depression since your Father's death" Mother said, I sighed, the Death Eaters ambushed me and our Father, they killed Father but I managed to fight my way out, "J'étais là Mère, si ça te rend heureux, je souffrirai en Angleterre" I said in French.
I walked back upstairs to my room, and packed my stuff, "i can't believe she's sending us away, I'm the one who saw Father get tortured and killed by Bellatrix LeStrange, I had to fight my way out, she doesn't understand how guilty I am, I could have saved Father but i was too much of a coward" I told Hermione while she was packing, she looked up, "oh Clary, you couldn't have prevented Father's death, you were only thirteen at the time, you barely had any knowledge of dueling compared to the knowledge that you have now" Hermione said, I suppose she's right.
Hermione and I dragged our trunks downstairs where Mother handed us a portkey, "Andromeda will be expecting you to arrive via portkey now" Mother said, "Activate" Hermione said, I felt the tug at my navel as I disappeared from Mother's front room.
We crash landed in the livingroom of what must be Andromeda's house, "you must be Hermione and Clary Granger" a female voice said, that voice reminded me of Bellatrix 'no, it can't be her, not again' I thought, I paralyzed with fear and started shaking, "Clary, it's not Bellatrix, she's in Azkaban, you caught her and gave her to the Aurors remember" Hermione said, I heard someone gasp at Bellatrix's name, "she's dealt with my deranged Aunt" another female voice said.
Hermione looked at me, I nodded, they'll have to know eventually, "Clary has indeed dealt with Bellatrix LeStrange, she was thirteen years old at the time, Bellatrix ambushed them, she tortured and murdered out Father in front of Clary, so Clary fought Bellatrix and took her down and gave her to the Aurors" Hermione said stroking my back as my trembles of fear stopped.
I took a deep breath and looked up, "you look like her, your voice, i-it triggered the memory of that dayday" I whispered softly, "it's at times like this that I wish I wasn't sisters with that woman, anyway, my name is Andromeda Tonks, this is my daughter Nymphadora, but call her Tonks, she'll let you get away with calling her DoraDora" the woman said, I slowly stood up and I grabbed my trunk, "i hate portkeys, they're a bloody inconvenience" I muttered.
Dora showed us to our rooms, I unpacked my stuff, I of course had no stuff for Hogwarts, I finished hanging my Hollyhead Harpies Quidditch posters up, someone knocked on the door, "come in" I said turning around to face door, it opened to reveal Tonks, her eyes widened when she saw the Hollyhead Harpies Quidditch posters, "oh you're a fan of the Hollyhead Harpies too?" I asked, she nodded, "I've played with them in a practice match, I've met Gwenog Jones half a dozen times, and i get free Quidditch tickets when ever her team have a match" I said.
"Can I ask why you hate being called Nymphadora?" I asked, "i don't really know why it bothers me, it just does" Dora said, "Nymphadora is a unique name, being unique is a good thing" I said, "i suppose, but my house mates in Hogwarts used to tease me about my first name so I started to hate being called Nymphadora" she explained.
"Knowing my sister, she'll every book she can get on Hogwarts, but can you tell me about Hogwarts?" I asked as I've never believed everything I read in a historical book, some stuff is false if it's written after an historical event.
"Of course I can, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was built in the tenth century, though the precise dates are unknown, the founders are Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff, they each had a house named after themselves, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, they each had specific qualities that they wanted in their houses, Gryffindor wanted students who where chivalrous, bold and daring, Ravenclaw wanted students who praised knowledge above all, that wit and wisdom and most of all were intellectual and intelligent, Slytherin wanted students who had ambition, determination and were cunning but Hufflepuff was an egalitarian, she believed everyone was equal and she that all magical creatures and students of all magical heritages should be treated equally but her students praised Loyalty above all" Dora said.
Dora went on to explain about Voldemort and his Death Eaters, i flitched at Bellatrix's name and what she did to two Aurors who had a son, she told me about the anti-werewolf laws at the Ministry of Magic, "well it seemed that no-one took into account Helga's wish for equal rights for all magical races, how could they treat Lycanthropes with such disrespect, it's not as if anyone asked to be infected with Lycanthropy" I said, "it's just way it is now after Voldemort's reign of terror at the Ministry" Dora said.
The summer passed quickly, it was the week before term started at Hogwarts, Hermione and I celebrated our sixteenth birthday on July 29th, I was in the livingroom with Dora, Hermione and Andromeda when someone, a woman with bright green eyes and Auburn orange hair, came through the fireplace.
"Lily, it's good see you, this is Hermione and Clary Granger, they're starting Hogwarts for their Sixth year, Hermione, Clary, this is Lily Evans, her adoptive brother is the Headmaster of Hogwarts" Andromeda said, "hi Miss Evans" I said, Hermione followed my lead, "hello, Hermione, Clary, you can call me Lily, I'm here to take you both Diagon Alley to get your supplies" Lily said handing us supply lists for sixth year students.

That's a lot of stuff, "i took the liberty of getting your uniforms myself, I believe Andi has put them in your trunks already, they'll magically change into your house colours when you've been sorted" Lily said, we nodded.
Lily showed us how to use the the Floo network, I tumbled out of the fireplace, "it is worse than portkeys" I grumbled, "my nephew shares the same views, ah here he is" Lily said as a boy of about fifteen or Sixteen years of age with shaggy black hair and blue eyes came up to her, "hi Auntie Lily" the boy said as a man, probably his father came up behind him, "hi Harry" Lily said to the boy, then she turned to the one behind him, "Hi James, this is Hermione and Clary, they're starting their sixth year at Hogwarts" Lily said, "Hi Lils" James said then he turned to us, "Hermione, Clary, I'm Professor James Potter, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this is my son Harry" James said, he winked at me, causing me to go red, "James" Lily scolded, I sniggered.
