Hi all!

I know I've been majorly slacking on my other stories but I've had writers block and I'm in the midst of my junior year of high school and such. So, this was just a little idea that popped into my head. I'm not sure where its going but I'll hopefully just roll with it. (YEAH ROB PATTINSON!!)

Also, I will post Willa's clothes that she wears in my profile so you guys can see what her style is like and what she looks like.

Anyway, enough with that. Here's the first chapter!

Chapter 1- Willa

"But Mum, please!"

Sixteen year old Willa Hardcastle stood hands on her hips, flustered, in front of her seated parents. Never did she happen to understand them. All her life, Willa had been sheltered by her two overbearing parents who didn't seem to want her to grow up. But for all it was worth, she loved them very much. Now that she was sixteen going on seventeen, however, she longed to finally go out into the world by herself.

"Willa, darling," her mother said calmly. "We go over this every year and the fact of the matter is that it is just too dangerous for you to go away to school."

Willa gave a frustrated groan.

"Not even to Hogwarts, mum? You two are practically family with Professor Dumbledore. You can't trust him with my safety?"

Willa's mother got up and walked over to her daughter, putting her hands on each of Willa's shoulders and looking at her straight in the eye.

"Willa, you just don't understand how much evil there is in our world."

"But how am I supposed to learn how to go out and face it if I'm stuck here in this silly old cottage all day long for the rest of my life?"

"Celia, I think she has a point," Willa's father pointed out, still seated in his comfy armchair. "She has been homeschooled for quite some time now."

Willa had indeed been taught everything she knew about witchcraft and wizardry from her parents. Everything that a student would learn at a school like Hogwarts. When Willa was ten years old, her mother and father had asked Professor Dumbledore (a family friend), if it was possible to teach Willa in the comforts of their own home out of the public eye and dangers of the Wizarding World. Dumbledore had consented to their request adding that if at any time Willa wanted to join her fellow year mates, she was more than welcome. Now, at sixteen, Willa wanted to go to Hogwarts more than anything and she was more than ready.

Her mother looked at her father then back to Willa. Then finally she let out a deep sigh.

"Is this really what you want, dear?" she asked.

"Yes," Willa answered, her voice barely more than a whisper. Her mother took Willa's hands in hers.

"You understand there will always be danger all around you. We won't be able to protect you anymore."

Willa nodded. "I know. But I think I'll manage… I'm ready."

Celia stroked her daughter's mass of wavy red hair which they both shared.

"Well then," she began. She smiled a little. "Look at you. You're all grown up. I supposed I have to just let you go now. You're certainly not my little girl anymore. I hope you just take care of yourself and stay out of harms way this year."

Willa's eyes lit up.

"You mean I can go?" she asked, her green eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Yeah," her mother said smiling. Willa shrieked with joy and hugged her mother tighter than she had ever hugged her.

"Thank you! Thank you, mum! So much!"

Her father joined in the hug as well.

"Oh! I'll let Albus know right away," he said parting from the hug and walking over to his desk to begin to pen a letter."

"You know what that means?" her mother asked Willa.

"What?"

"We're going shopping!"
