Summary. It is the year 2010 and 16year old Jessica Amelia King is about to learn a secret that will change her life forever. She will travel to a time not her own and make friends and enemies alike, she will fight and love and try to save the people who once got hurt by a man who was evil and wanted to live forever in a world where only purebloods ruled.

Disclaimer. I don't own Harry Potter, only the characters who are made up entirely by me.

Chapter 1

Jessica walked down the street thinking that it was a nice day to have your birthday, if only her aunt didn't have to work today so they could celebrate. It was snowing today and the world around her was covered in a white blanket.

Jessica quite enjoyed the fact that her birthday was in winter, because it always snowed in the little town she lived with her aunt on the outskirts of Moscow. It was the 1st of January, and she should be celebrating her birthday and New Year with her aunt, but her aunt was a doctor and had to go to work, promising to come home early. Not exactly a nice way to spend your 16th birthday, but Jessica tried to remain cheerful and still enjoy herself.

So she went for a walk in a little park near her house. There were a few children there playing with their parents watching them, but it was almost empty apart from them. Jessica walked to the swings and sat at one, thinking about her best friend Kate, who had travelled with her parents to Greece this yaer for the holidays. She would definetelly return with a tan and have a dozen stories to tell about all the boys she met there.

Just as she was thinking that, she saw something shiny in the snow below her feet. Jessica bent to retrieve it and saw it was a golen ring, but before she could examine it more carefully something strange happened. It was as though the sound around her was turned off and a brilliant white light lit everithing. And then she saw a vision of an old woman crying about a lost ring that was a gift from her husband and that it was the only thing she had left from him. Jessica felt she could somehow control her vision, so she turned aroun and recognised tha area where she was. It was a little outside her small town, but she had been there before.

Coming out of the vision, Jessica heard the sounds again and she felt the cold wind on her face. It was the first time something like that happened to her and it was all a little confusing, but she was one of those practical people who believed that things happened for a reson. So Jessica decided to test this vision and headed for the bus staton.

She got to the road from her vision in a half hour and started to make her way towards the house she had seen the old lady in. Reaching it, she stood a little uncertainly outside, but decided to knock since sge was already here. The worst that could happen, the owner would laugh at her. After her knock she waited a couple of minutes and the door opened by the same old woman she had seen in her vision.

'' Can I help you, young lady?'' the woman asked looking a little weary.

'' I' m sorry to bother you, but does this ring look familiar?'' Jessica asked and showed the woman the ring.

There was a gasp and the woman looked at her hand and then back at the ring.

'' I.. I don't.. I don't understand'' she kept stuttering looking almost lost.

'' I found it at the park near the school in the snow. A couple there saw you and thought it might be yours.'' It was a story Jessica had to make up, because in all the excitment she forgot what to say if the woman asked where she found it and how she knew it belonged to her.

'' Yes, it is mine. I was there to see my grandchildren and it must have slipped with my gloves. I..I thank you! The ring- It means a lot to me.''

'' You are welcome. I've got to go now. Happy New Year!'' Jessica said handing the ring over and making her way to the bus stop before the old lady could start asking questions.

After that Jessica decided to head home. Her aunt was there when she arrived and was making dinner.

'' Happy birthday, sweety! Look at you all grown up! 16 already!'' Her aunt said once she sah Jessica.

Jessica was pretty close to her aunt and talked about everything, so she decided to tell her what happened while they ate dinner. Her aunt listened carefully, at first amused, then surprised and at last almost sad and resigned. She sighed at the end and got a serious look on her face.

'' I have something very important to tell you, baby girl.'' she started'' It is something I hoped to avoid, but it seems your powers don't want to stay dormant.''

'' My powers?'' was all Jessica got to say.

'' You see, Jess, there is another world out there.. a little different than ours..'' her aunt was struggling with the words.'' You know those Harry Potter books you so love? Well that world really exists and that is where you come from.''

Jessica sat there in shock. Yes she loved the Harry Potter books and had read them almost a million times, but that was all fiction. She dreamt that that world was true and wished sometimes to be there but still.

'' You see, sweety, a year after you were born, Voldemort returned to power and your parents fought with the Order of the Phoenix, but you were special and they had to hide you. I was the logical choice, because I loved you like my own and I lived in the muggle world here, where it is almost a neutral territory.''

'' I was special..? How?''

'' Well..in our family every other generation a special witch is born, actually not a witch, but a mage. You were tested when you were born and you are a white mage. Actually you are The White Mage, as no other exists.''
