PROLOGUE
"Arian!!!!! Wake up, you are going to be late!" said Aunt Merry as she shoved open my door and shook me as if I was a piece of petrified wood.
"Did my aunt have to be so loud?" I thought as I snuggled back under the thick coverlet. Then it hit me, today was the day, with a jolt of adrenaline and lots of scurrying I bounded out of the bed yelling downstairs "I'm coming Aunt Merry!" Today was the day I moved in with my new foster family in England. I had been studying at Salem Academy; home too many great witches and wizards of America since the 1600's and had been offered a chance to spend a year studying in England at the even more prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts around 20 years ago was the site of one of the greatest Wizarding battles, and the results still echoed today but nonetheless I was going to receive an education that very few would have the opportunity to experience. Anyway, Hogwarts is a better name than my school and even better, I would get to spend a month living with a Wizarding family with a student who would be in the same year as me, before school even started, and at fifteen, this would be an adventure that I could not pass up.
Today I would be traveling via the Floo Network so as I arrived in front of the fireplace, my Aunt wrapped my favorite cloak around me, black covered in silver stars that sparkled and it matched my outfit for the day, I had chosen it for just this reason, I had to make a good impression on my foster family.
"Now, you show them the darling girl I know you are and try to stay out of trouble," Aunt Merry said with a kiss to my forehead.
"Now remember you are going too…"
"Yes I know," I claimed as I stepped inside, and said "The Burrow".
