Chapter One: The Start of Something New

She was eleven years young, wavy blonde hair and blue eyes; she knew she was different from the other children. She was just like her mother in many ways and there was one big one, she was a witch. It was a shock for her father since there was a fifty-fifty chance, since he was a Muggle, but he married a witch also.

JC Weber bounced around the house with a book in her hand; she had a wide smile on her face even though it was early in the morning. Her father wasn't up yet but, her mom was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. She sat down in the living room recliner reading and smelling the bacon and ham sizzling in the kitchen.

"Honey, come here and help set the table," her mom called from the kitchen.

JC put her book down and went to help her mom. As she started to set the table her mom grabbed her hand, "We need to talk about something."

"Well, today you got some news, do you know how I told you on your eleventh birthday that pretty soon you will get invited to go to a school for your special talents just like I did?"

JC looked up at her mom, "Yes I remember, but what about my school, my friends," she asked.

Her mom laid an opened letter on the table in front of her, "It's up to you if you want to go or not."

She picked up the letter and started to read, "Dear JC Weber, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…" JC silently read the rest of the letter and put the note back on the table. She understood most things about her mom from her young age, she knew what a wand was and a few incantations and spells that her mom uses around the house, it wasn't all that bad; this could be a new start in her life.

Her father woke up and they sat around the table eating breakfast, her mom was about to break the news to her dad. Once she told him, he smiled and looked at JC, "What do you think about this, I know your mom has showed you some of the books before?"

"Well dad, mom, I think I am going to do it, I have always been amazed by the things that mom has done with her wand and incantations."

Her dad grabbed his hat and kissed his wife and daughter on the head, "You two have a good day."

"Ok bye daddy!"

Later that day JC was in her room playing with her calico cat Caily, there was a knock on the door, "JC, do you want to go get your books for school since you made your decision?"

JC smiled, "Oh yes, I'm ready!"

Her mom took her by the hand as they walked into London, JC started to get frustrated, "Mom, isn't there quicker way to get to Diagon Alley?"

Her mom laughed, "Of course there is love, but you have to learn them, I'm going to show you one entrance, then next time I will show you the Floo Network and when you are older you will learn how to use Apparition in school."

JC rolled her eyes and looked up from the street she had been staring at; there was nothing but a grey brick wall in front of her. She became confused but watched as her mom tapped her wand along the bricks. They started to move from both sides; opening up another world, "See honey, Muggles cannot know about this place."

She shook her head understanding every word, back when she was showing her first signs of being a witch her mom gave her the talk about Muggles and how she had to keep her secret away from them. JC took the list out of her pocket and the trip began, this first thing at the top was of course the most important a wand.

The shop owner, Mr. Ollivander, was an old man with white hair and his voice shook while he talked, "Ah, you've come for your very first wand."

Wand after wand she tried several ones of different colors and sizes and finally he picked out one with a tan color, at first sight JC admired it. She herd it in her hand and felt a magical bond with it, "Well give it a try," the old man told her.

Her mom whispered in her ear, "Try saying Wingardium Leviosa, like this," her mom pulled out her wand and while saying the spell she moved the wand in a circle and flicked it. JC copied her pointing at the closed bottle of ink on the desk, it started to float up in the air and she became startled taking her concentration away and the bottle fell and shattered over the desk.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Mr. Ollivander held up his hand, "Its fine watch," he muttered, "Reparo," and the glass and ink fixed itself in front of her eyes.

"Wicked!"

After shopping for her wand, she got fitted for her school robes, her mom was a Hufflepuff, and most likely she would follow in her footsteps, so she was ready to see a yellow and black badger pinned onto her robe.

Her books came next seven classes meant seven books. She was scared that she wouldn't be able to keep up with all the classes, but she would have to do her best and try.

"Now the last thing we need is, an: owl, cat, frog, or rat, which one do you want," her mom asked her.

"Well, I already have Caily, so I'm thinking an owl," JC said looking in the window.

She walked around for a while, trying to find a cute owl she could fall in love with and name, but they all were loud and ugly. She walked around to the back and in the corner all quiet and cute, was a white and brown owl with big eyes, she walked over to the cage and he hooted softly at her, "I want this one."

Her mom smiled and got the cage, "What will you name him?"

"Finis!"

"Okay we have one more stop Gringotts and then we can go home," her mom said following her out of the store.

JC knew that Gringotts was the bank but she had never been in it before. It was a huge white building that leaned over to the side, it looked like it was about to fall to pieces. On the inside it was a different story, it was a bronze color with wooden floors. Little "things" with glasses and pointy ears surrounded her working with mail. She walked closer to her mom, "Don't worry the goblins may seem scary, but they won't hurt you, just treat them right and they will treat you the same."

After her mom got some money out of the bank they were allowed to go back home. JC was eager to start looking over her books, "Mom can I practice when I get home?"

She shook her head, "No, love, you will have to wait until you get to school, you aren't allow to practice at home, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I can still look over my books."
