Prologue

It wasn't uncommon for the Bennet family's dulcet tones to be heard around their relatively large village. With three young girls and only a year apart, it was a wonder that they weren't louder. But today, today was a special day for the eldest two sisters, and it all started when an owl swooped down and landed on their kitchen's windowsill. Mr. James Bennet had been expecting this day ever since his twin girls, Jane and Elizabeth, first started showing signs of being magical as toddlers. This was the day that his two beautiful girls turned eleven; it was also the day that Lizzie and Jane received their Hogwarts letters. March 16th was certainly the day to remember in the Bennet household.

Needless to say, the twins were elated beyond belief and the first person they told was Lizzie's closest friend, other than Jane of course, Charlotte Lu. "Whoa, really? That's so awesome! I mean, I thought maybe, you might, but I wasn't sure. But I'm so excited now!" Charlotte gushed her excitement.

The twins just looked at Charlotte in confusion, until the ever bright Jane said, "Wait, you thought?"

Lizzie caught on, "CHAR REALLY?! THAT'S SO FANTASTIC! I'm even more excited now! But it was weird when the owl came. My dad didn't even blink an eye… it was almost as if he had been EXPECTING it…"

Charlotte just put on a knowing smile and walked with the twins back to the Bennet household where Lizzie proudly got out her letter and showed Charlotte, reading it aloud,

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Edward Allen Dempsey Gardiner

Dear Miss Elizabeth Marie Bennet,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all the necessary books and equipment.
Term starts on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,
Molly Houghton
Deputy Headmistress."

Jane looked up from her own materials list and over at their father, "Dad, do you know where we can get all these? I've never even HEARD of some of these items, and the robes…no designer I know makes them…"

"Well," Mr. Bennet cleared his throat. "There's a place called Diagon Alley in London where you can get everything on this list. But I haven't been there in quite some years..." The man turned to Charlotte, "Go ask your parents if they would mind us all going as a group, would you? I know that you girls would enjoy that much more than going separately anyways."

Charlotte grinned and ran off back through the Bennet yard and her own to her mother's garden where their house elf was hanging out laundry the old fashioned way, in part to hide the windows from the outside so that any wand-waving done carelessly inside by a window would be masked by the large sheets blowing in the wind. "Mary Louise, are mother and father home yet?"

"Young mistress!" squeaked the recently employed house elf. "Mistress is in her study and Master is off on business in France still." Mr. Lu was a British Ministry of Magic Ambassador and as such often had to travel to other countries to carry out his work instead of sitting at a desk or bringing his work home.

The young Asian smiled at the house elf and quickly ran up to her mother's study before jamming her words all in one very out-of-breath sentence, "LizzieandJanejustgottheirHog wartslettersandtheirfatherwa ntstoknowifwewouldwishtogoto DiagonAlleywiththem."

She slowly caught her breath as her mother quickly deciphered her extremely excited daughter's words. However, to make a point, Mrs. Lu told Charlotte to slow down, "Now, calmly repeat what you said. I will not have my daughters become inarticulate fools."

Maria had come into the room just in time to hear her sister's excited exclamation, "Lizzie and Jane got Hogwarts letters today?!"

"And Mr. Bennet would like to know if we would like to go to Diagon Alley with them," Charlotte was visibly jumping in excitement.

"I suppose that could be arranged, though we should wait for your father to return. Although, knowing the French… it could be another week."

Not being quite close enough to London to justify taking the Knight Bus, the Lu's and the Bennet's flooed to the Leaky Cauldron. "Is it nice to be back?" Mr. Lu asked the Bennet patriarch.

"Definitely strange, and quite a bit nostalgic," he replied. "Now," he turned to the giggling girls, "isn't it about time we go and get your wands?"

They squealed and the group followed Mrs. Lu through the hole and into the bustling streets of Diagon Alley. "First off, Gringotts Wizarding Bank!"

"And time to see whether my wonderful parents cut me off from the family account or gave me one in case of my children being magical…" Mr. Bennet mumbled to himself, holding out some hope, but having funds with him to convert and open a vault if needed. He still carried with him his old copy of the vault key though, just in case.

The group walked into Gringotts and Jane and Lizzie gaped at all of the goblins working at their raised tables, looking down at them as they entered. Mr. Bennet walked up to Lolamak, the goblin-in-charge, at the podium in front, "Bennet vault? I have my key."

"Your mother was expecting you to arrive within the year. She released your inheritance vault to your daughters, so if we may just confirm their biological relation to you and yours to your mother then we may proceed." Mr. Bennet nodded his consent and motioned the twins forward. Lolamak had the three prick their fingers and pressed each to a piece of enchanted parchment. As soon as the blood droplets hit the parchment black lines of ink began to appear, arranging into complete family trees, the blood status of each person listed next to their names. After examining the parchments, the goblin nodded his confirmation, "If both families would follow me, we may access your vaults now." They all followed him down to the precarious metal carts that were a person's only was of accessing their vaults. Lolamak started their descent in the cart and all but he lurched rather uncomfortably at the sudden speed.

Mr. Lu shrank their money bags and the group headed to the south end of Diagon Alley to Ollivander's to purchase each of the girls their very first wands. After having gotten over their queasiness from the speeding metal cart, the girls turned giggly again, all four of them excited, even though Maria would have to wait until next year before she got her wand. But as they stood outside the clearly old, yet well-kept building the four preteens quickly sobered up. Something about the ages-old establishment had a maturing factor.

The bell on the door rang as they walked into the cramped store and Mr. Ollivander rolled from the back of his shop on a ladder. "Ah! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Lu! Lovely to see you again. And Mr. Bennet? I haven't seen you in here since your elder brother bought his wand. Ms. Bennet, how about you first?" he said, motioning to Lizzie.

She stepped forward the little bit that she could and the elderly wand maker studied her as his magicked tape measure floated around her, measuring her from shoulder to finger, wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and between her nostrils before Ollivander snapped his fingers and it fell to the floor after coiling itself up again. As the tape measure had been doing its job, Mr. Ollivander had been pulling down from his many shelves. "Perhaps Maple with dragon heartstring?" But he grabbed it back almost as soon as she touched it. "No, no. Not the one for you. The wand chooses the wizard- or in this case witch, you know. Maybe Laurel with phoenix feather?" This time Lizzie held on to it for a minute, but again, Mr. Ollivander took it from her, laying it back in the box. "I wonder…" muttered the esteemed wand maker as he held out a third wand for Lizzie to try, which promptly filled the younger of the twins with warmth and started to glow. "Walnut and phoenix feather, eleven and five-eighths inches. This wand will serve you well, Miss Bennet."

"How about the other twin now?" continued the bright wandmaker. Eleven-year-old Jane stepped forward and the tape measure uncoiled itself, repeating all the measurements it had already performed on Lizzie on Jane as Ollivander flitted around his shop, pulling down possible wands for Jane to try and replacing those that had rejected Lizzie in their proper places on the shelves. He cleared his throat and the tape measure again fell to the floor. "Perhaps a nice English Oak?" but Jane had barely touched the wand when Ollivander pulled it back. "Certainly not! Try this," and he handed her a fine Poplar wand with a core of Unicorn hair. Jane waved it but nothing happened so Mr. Ollivander took it back, placing it gingerly back in its box thoughtfully before handing Jane another. As soon as she grasped it, the same warmth her twin had experienced filled her and the shy twin's mouth spread in a wide smile that lit up her entire face in the dimly lit store. "Yes," the elderly man smiled, "I thought so, 13 ¼ inches of alder with a unicorn hair core." The elder Bennet twin kept looking over her wand, entrapped by its simple beauty and elegance.

Charlotte stepped forward, "Ah, Miss Lu! I was wondering when the day would come for your first wand." And the tape measure sprung to life for a third and final time during the party's tenure in the wand shop, repeating the process once more. She was handed a black walnut wand with a unicorn core and the instant she took hold, she knew the 9 ⅞" wand had chosen her. The weathered old man gave her a smile, "I had a notion this wand might be your match. It is quite loyal and will serve you well." The group paid for the three wands and re-entered Diagon Alley, walking back to the Leaky Cauldron to grab some lunch before continuing their shopping that day.

September 1st came quickly, and the girls eagerly boarded the Hogwarts Express, trunks and owls in tow, as they journeyed to their home for the majority of the next seven years. As they were shepherded off the train, they heard the deep voice of William Lucas, games keeper of Hogwarts, calling out to their fellow first years. "Over here please! Firs' years!" The dark-skinned Englishman towered over the mostly tiny eleven-year-olds who were gathered around him. The last couple straggled off of the train and through Hogsmeade Station and Lucas led them up to the boats. "Yer in for a real treat tonight. The lake is calm and the sky is clear. Now group up in the boats and we'll sail off to the castle." There was a small frenzy as the first years claimed boats with their friends, leaving others to fill in the empty spots. Charlotte, Lizzie, and Jane joined a boy with a budding afro, a wide-eyed, innocent-looking young boy, a dark-haired girl with a brooding expression as though she thought everyone else was below her, a blonde boy with brilliant blue eyes, and a tall brunette boy with striking blue eyes. The boats neared the castle and the entire party's eyes widened in awe at the sight before them of Hogwarts Castle in her whole glory, basked in the warm glow of the orange and red sunset.

The first years disembarked from their boats and followed the tall man of African descent up to the castle and through the giant-sized doors and into the antechamber off of the entrance hall where they were met by a tall woman with long, brunette curls. "Thank you, Lucas," she said, dismissing him to the Great Hall for the feast. "Now, welcome! My name is Professor Houghton and I am the Deputy Headmistress here at Hogwarts. In a few moments, I will lead you into the Great Hall where you will join the other students for the start of term feast, but before the meal starts you will be sorted into your Houses. There are four – Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin, and while you are students here, your House will be your family. You shall attend classes with them and eat all meals with your housemates." Lizzie smiled to herself, Charlotte had already explained all of this to her, so she wasn't worried.

Professor Molly Houghton led the students up the steps and right outside the doors to the Great Hall; she peaked in and when she saw the affirmative nod from the Headmaster, she opened the doors fully and led the alphabetized eleven-year-olds down the length of the room to the front where they filed in, half of them waiting to see what task they would have to complete in order to be sorted. Professor Houghton produced a tattered old wizard's pointed hat and placed it on the stool in front of the entire room, which them sprung to life, a mouth becoming apparent and it started its yearly song, but Lizzie wasn't paying attention, too enraptured by the evidence of magic all around them, only coming out of her trance at Jane's poke in her side. The professor started to speak again, "When I call your name, you will come up and place the Hat on your head." She pulled a scroll from her robes. "Bennet, Elizabeth!"

The feast ended, and with a few words of wisdom from the Headmaster, a Professor Edward Gardiner, the House prefects led their houses to the common rooms. Lizzie and Charlotte linked arms as together they walked with their House, following the prefects up to Gryffindor Tower, eager to learn all the secrets the Castle had to offer. Jane and the wide-eyed innocent boy from the boat- Bing Lee, walked with their fellow Hufflepuffs to their Common Room and quarters. Afro boy, Fitz Williams, was the lone Ravenclaw from his pre-Hogwarts friends, but that didn't deter him, and the naturally outgoing boy quickly made friends with his new housemates. The dark-haired girl had a sour expression on her face, in partial disbelief that her own brother, a LEE, had been sorted into Hufflepuff of all places! Caroline was not happy with this, and that was very clear to the boys who could have been fraternal twins, William Darcy and George Wickham. The new Slytherins followed after their prefects down to their quarters in the dungeons.

One thing they all knew, though. Their time at Hogwarts would be life-changing.
