~Prologue~
This story is about Sonea Direm, a girl going into her fifth year at school. She has long black hair that goes to her waist and stormy gray eyes that have a ring of midnight blue on the outer rim. She gets her looks from her mother so she doesn't know what her father looks like. She lives in Hawaii with her mother, Ren, and stepfather, Eric. Her mother is Japanese but moved to France, then England, then Hawaii. She never talks about Sonea's father so Sonea doesn't know who he is. Eric is nice enough to Sonea and married Ren during Sonea's first year at Selis Academy for the Magically Talented. It's a very high-ranking school that students from all over the United States go to. Another school, Narog, is in Alaska and a third school, Rinsek, is in New York. The Ministry of Magic in the U.S. is stationed in California and that's where Eric works. To get there, he uses the Floo network.
The American Ministry of Magic also held a competition similar to the Triwizard Tournament but there were seven champions from each school, one from each year. Sonea was the fourth year champion and one of her friends, Chris, was the fifth year champion. Selis won (of course) and each champion got a thousand galleons (So Sonea's filthy rich!). Sonea's best friend is Kristen. They've been friends for almost three years. Kristen never had a crush on any guy so when it comes to advice about guys, she sucks. But she does give great advice about everything else. (I'm way too lazy to say what they look like now but it'll be in part one.)
Sonea likes lots of things. She loves quittitch and is the seeker for her team (by the way, there are only three houses in her school.) However, she can play any position. She also likes potions but she is best in Defense Against the Dark Arts. She does get into trouble sometimes for pulling pranks on other students but no one ever gets hurt (more than a little bit.) A few very special talents will be explained throughout the story, but one is that she's and animagus. She's not exactly a social butterfly and rarely trusts people. But that's because her first stepfather was killed by a guy he considered one of his closest friends. Before Sonea was born, her mother went to a psychic to ask about her future. Ren won't tell Sonea what she found out but the prophecy that the psychic gave her wasn't a good one.
