Cassandra was sitting at the orphanage window, apparently bored. The TV wasn't showing anything good, just some news about an escaped convict. The 11 year old sucked a strand of her pale blond hair as the cars outside drove past. It was then she noticed an elderly man walking towards the orphanage. He was even older then Mrs Cole, if that was possible. He had made it to the front step before he noticed Cassandra, sitting on the window ledge in the drab uniform the orphanage gave its inhabitants.
He did not seem to be at all surprised to see a little girl sitting there, he just seemed mildly interested. Cassandra scampered off at the sight of him to tell one of the workers there was a visitor at the door. They let him in immediately, and he requested to talk to Cassandra, who was very surprised.
They were to discuss it in Cassandra's room. She had locked the door on their way in: she couldn't risk Chloe or one of her minions eavesdropping on their conversation. Cassandra sighed. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" she asked. The man replied simply, "I am Albus Dumbledore, and I would like to offer you a place at my school." Cassandra was a little shocked by this. "And why should I go to your school?" she asked in her commanding tone. Dumbledore did not seem offended by this at all. Instead he replied, "Because it is a school for witches and wizards like yourself."
