Chapter 1: It's the Beginning.

Artemis was sitting in her garden underneath her big apple tree, she liked it under there, it was in the shade, and being in the shade today was a good idea, the heat kept rising, and Artemis felt like she was melting.
She stood up and picked an apple off the tree and took a bite from it, it tasted good, sweet, like all apples should be like.
Artemis's mum walked into the garden, and told Artemis to come inside as she had something important to tell her.
Artemis walked inside and sat on the couch in the front room, she wondered what her mum had to tell her.

"Hunny this might come to a bit of a shock to you, but you can't over react ok?" Her mum said.
"Hmm, ok."
"You're not normal."
"You only just worked that out?"
"No, not as weird I mean, you're a witch."
"What the fuck? Did you take your pills this morning?" Said Artemis, standing up and walking into the kitchen.
"No I am being deadly serious Artemis, let me explain…"
"You don't need to, your barking mad, and besides if I am, prove it!" Artemis shouted, while her temper was rising.
"How would you like me to prove it?" Her mother asked, withdrawing something long, that looked like it was made out of wood.
"Peel that potato without touching it." Artemis said, slamming a potato down in front of her mother.
"Fair enough." Her mother said, and with that she gave one flick with the thing she was holding and the potato automatically was peeled.
Artemis started at the potato, she was amazed, was she dreaming? She started at her mum.

"Do you believe me now?" Her mother asked her.
"I guess I am going to have to now. So do I have power now? Can I use it? What do I do?" Artemis asked, looking all confused.
"Calm down girl. Yes you do have power and no you can't use it yet."
"Then what's the point of me having any power at all if I can't use it?"
"I never said you couldn't use it I am just saying not yet. You have to go to school to use it."
"School? But they will think I am a freak! They already think I am one anyway, but this is worse."
"Not just any school, it's a wizarding school, its called Hogwarts, I tried to keep you away from all this magic larky, because I didn't want you to get hurt, but I received a letter from the headmaster of Hogwarts, his name is Professor Dumbledore, he is coming to collect you tomorrow afternoon, and we need to take you to a place called Diagone Ally to get all your wizarding gear together, so your not over run by the rush of forgetting stuff on the day you go to Hogwarts."
"That makes no sense… but ok, so I am going to school tomorrow afternoon?"
"No you will be going round my friend's house, she has quite a lot of children herself who already go to Hogwarts, so they can fill you in on some information about the school ect…"
"Oh, so how long will I be there for?"
"About 3 weeks."
"So let me get this all cleared up, your letting some old man come take me away, your putting me in a house for 3 weeks of an old lady with lots of children and I am a witch."
"You make it all sound so bad."
"I'm just making sure I have all of this right."
"Yes you are right then."
"Oh goodie." Said Artemis, with the least energy ever.
"I think you should go to bed now, it's late." Said Artemis's mother, looking at the time.
"Its 11pm, that's not late."
"You have to get up early tomorrow. Now go on, off to bed with you."
"Fine, night night." Said Artemis running upstairs.

Artemis laid on her bed thinking about tomorrow, she was excited but really scared, she never thought she had 'magical powers' but she always knew she was different…
