If you like my story, please review! If I don't get any feedback, I will probably stop add new chapters.


Hey guys! This is one of my first fanfics, so let me know what you think! Thanks! =)

P.S. You'll find out more about the characters as you read.


**Tear**

Beep beep beep.

"Shut up please."

Beep beep beep.

"Please?"

Beep beep beep. Geez, my alarm clock was persistent.

"Fine." I opened my aquamarine eyes and looked out the gloomy, grimy window. All I saw was a whole bunch of colorless, dark houses that were identical to one another.

"Tear, get down here!" someone from downstairs yelled at me.

"Give me five minutes!" I yelled back.

"I will give you three!" they screamed, then that someone slammed a door.

I got out of bed and made it neatly. I looked around the empty room and saw thirteen identical beds that looked the same as mine, each with an identical chest at the foot of it. I pulled out some slightly shabby clothes from my trunk and put them on. Then I headed downstairs.

"Tear." A strict woman looked down at me, "You have to work till noon, and then you have to pack for Hogwarts. Head down to the shop now."

"But-" I began, but the woman cut me off.

"No breakfast. No money. No complaints. No questions. Now go."

I walked past a dining room of thirteen girls orderly eating breakfast. I wanted to dash in and grab a roll, but I knew if I did, I would be severely punished.

I sighed as I walked out the door, headed to the bright, energetic joke shop that didn't mix well with my dim, depressed mood. I went to the run-down hut which was only a mile away and I stepped in. It was an undercover floo-powder station. "Diagon Ally Joke Shop," I said firmly. I appeared in the shop's fireplace. I stepped out and clocked in. I headed to the cash register and turned it on, only partially ready to start my day.
