CHAPTER 1 : prologue

"Mum, I'm doing fine here in London… There are other schools in London that aren't Hogwarts… I know I'm like the first Gryffindor to drop out. MUM! I'm fine in London. Yes, Charlie said I can live with him." I told mum over the phone. Truthfully I hadn't even seen Charlie in years. "I got to go mum. Yes I'll e-mail you. I will! Bye mother. I said BYE!!"

I walked up the gravel pathway towards an old brick townhouse. The door was a navy green with a gold doorknob. I sucked in a deep breath. I had to do this; I was going to do this. I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps. No turning back now I guess. The door screeched open and in the doorway stood Charlie, he was more muscled than I remember.

"Elizabeth! What are you doing here?" he seemed surprised.

"Hi dad," I wasn't allowed to call him Charlie to his face "I need a place to stay."

"What about Hogwarts?"

"It was boring."

"Why don't you just go back to LA?"

"Okay then I'll leave," I turned around and started to walk towards the street.

"Come inside Lizzy."

"That's better." I smiled and climbed up the stairs towards the spare room where I always stayed while I was staying with Charlie. The room was just like I remembered it, baby blue walls with baby yellow curtains, the bed was a single but it suited the room.

"What are you going to do about school?" Charlie followed me into my room.

"I already called Newport Grammar," I said dumping my backpack onto the bed "all sorted." But it wasn't really all sorted. Even though I'd been living in London for the last 2 years I still had my LA tan and bleach blonde hair, if I didn't fit in at Hogwarts I dought they'll except me in Newport. The school only had about 500 students, make that 501, I was going to be the retard with the tan, again.

"You sure you don't want to go back to LA?" Charlie actually sounded concerned.

"Dad, I want to stay in London."

"Okay," Charlie didn't sound to convinced "how you going get around?"

"I ordered a silver Porshe. It should show up tomorrow." I know a brand new Porshe isn't exactly going to help me fit in but no way in fucking hell I'm going to drive a rusty old piece of shit.

"Where having pizza for dinner," Charlie said walking out of the room. Yummy, I thought sarcastically, does he know fucking calories in pizza? He probably doesn't even know what calories are! God I'm a bitch. I need to get over this, no way people are going to accept me if I be a bitch. I know it might be a little late but I'm going to make a new years revelation. I'm going to be nice. Or at least not as bitchy as usual.

"WingGuardremAlou." My laptop flew open. Being a wizard did help sometimes. I had ten new messages, but nine of them were from mum so that doesn't really count. The other one was from Dani, my bestie from LA.

HELLO MY LITTLE BIOTCH,

I AM MISSING YOUR ASS OF WHILE YOU'RE LIVING IN LONDON YOU FUCKTARD. THERE BETTER BE HOT GUYS THERE, OTHER WISE YOU GET YOU STUPID FAT ASS IN A FIRST CLASS SEAT RIGHT BACK TO LA!

DANI

XX

God I missed her, I'd reply after dinner I decided as I heard someone knock on the front door. I walked down the stairs to see Charlie paying for the pizza. I ate and went to bed no way I was going to wait for it to get dark, I needed my beauty sleep if I was going to go to school tomorrow.
