Until she starts to slowly get closer to a boy she hates, her closest friend starts turning a weird shade of blue and rumors of attacks on the outside start to get closer to Hogwarts and herself.

Prologue

"Tori!" I demanded. "My name is Tori!"

"I named you Victoria." My Mum said, "But, I choose to call you Tori as a nickname."

I huffed, crossed my arms and looked to the side as I was thinking about it. "Fine."

She smirked, her graying brunette hair falling out of its bun in wisps. "You take care now. Don't blow up anything while I'm out shopping." She cautioned.

I sighed wearily, "I told you, Mum!" I screeched exasperated, "I can't control it!"

"I know! I know! But it was Aunt Lisa's wedding dress and you burned half of it off!" She said, grabbing her pouch and her wand. She kissed both of my cheeks and cheered, "Ta-ta!" Before disappearing down the drive, swiveling and Apparating quickly.

I brushed my thick brown hair out of my face and then took the ponytail out, brushing it absentmindedly and pulling it back up into a tighter plait than before.

Summer was half way through and I was sure a letter from Hogwarts was coming. About four years ago I started showing signs of magic and acceptance to Hogwarts was the next step.

A spark flew out of my forefinger at the thought and I willed my magic to calm down. A few more sparks, than my hair brush began to dance and I cursed. A tapping on the window cut me off and the hair brush fell limply on the vanity once more.

I waded slowly to the window. A large tawny owl with glittering blue-grayish feathers sat on my windowsill. I opened the window up wondering whether or not it was Gran writing back about when she was coming for a visit.

The owl flew in, dropped my letter on the desk and flew out.

I snatched up the letter and saw the seal. A crest of a badger, a eagle, a lion and a snake with a H in the middle pressed into red wax. Without opening it I knew what it was.

I was going to Hogwarts.
