Introducing Ann
Ann Joy Malison, that was what I had grown up being called, then a week after my sixteenth birthday a very tired owl arrived at my window with a letter from England. Naturally my curiosity was aroused by the fact that an owl was delivering a letter because were I lived we wizards used finches and chickadees for delivering close and eagles and hawks for out of town mail so to receive a letter with an owl in itself was worth my attention, let alone a letter from England, as far as I know I don't know anyone in England. It is then that I noticed the address.

Master bedroom
9832-79 St
Laval
Quebec
Canada
At that point only one thought was running through my head. 'How the hell do they know I live in the master bedroom, never mind that, how the hell do they know I live here, I just moved here.' needless to say I basically freaked out and my foster mom came up to check and me because they thought I was having a seizure, and then they grounded me for a false alarm. No internet or cable for the rest of the day is nothing compared to my last punishment when I lived with the Lenards.
I was stuck in my room for three weeks before they went out and called a babysitter. Just because I had asked if I could go to a special school that my mom wanted me to go too. Of course what she did not know was that all the expenses were already paid for, so she got all mad about me asking to diminishing the amount they where being paid to take care of me to send me to some school that they were sure they could teach me at home. The day they called the babysitter was the last time they ever saw me, the babysitter was rebellious so she let me out and let me use the phone so I called my social worker and she came within the hour and took me away. I was put in a group home for a few days before a family took me in, I lived with the Coreners till the end of summer than the MacWoods took me in and let me go to the magic school that was held evenings and weekends.
That was six years ago, during those six years I ended up going to a evening weekend school for two years graduating and going to Niagara Falls Academy for Young Witches and Wizards. I took to many courses and passed with enough credits to pass two people, so I got my aparating license and moved to Laval to get away from the schools I graduated from. I can aparate and do magic any time I want, even though I'd rather do things with my hands, its nice to know I can clean my room in just three seconds. The family I am living with now is Menw and Medb Cooperstone, they can't have kids and no child wants to stay with them because after a while they get really scared. They are Vampires and some kid found the blood bags and they freaked out told their social worker. When word went around, to keep it quite, my social worker asked me if I would be willing to stay with them, me being the only child that could magically protect myself if needed. For four years I have been living with them, and now I will most likely have to leave them. I open the letter with much caution.

Putting down the first letter I pulled out another piece of the stuff they call "parchment", half way through I was on the floor rolling around with laughter. Obviously this was meant to have reached me five years ago.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS
Jeez, I needed all these books and more for my first year at after school Wizardry classes, they must not teach much to the first years at that school of theirs which is supposed to be much better than the ones here in Canada. And there is the fact that Arsenius Jigger is really Menw Cooperstones' pen name I don't think that he would mind letting me have a first edition copy of his work. Hey maybe he could sign it for me. But I think the list needs to be updated a bit.
On a happier note I get to see Dempsey again, for the first time in three years. Now I think I'll let him know, it is only the beginning of June so it should reach him by the time his school is about to let out.
Dear Dempsey
WHAT'S UP! Just thought that you would appreciate knowing that that Hogwarts letter you said I should have gotten five and a half years ago finely arrived, I've been accepted. Hopefully this will reach you before school is over, (by that I mean you've left the building).
Anyway that Principle/Headmaster guy sent me a list of first year books, but its is extremely out of date email me with a revised list please, I want a list of all the books for any and every subject that school of yours teaches.
I'm still living with the Cooperstones but we moved to Quebec so it's a bit different, I keep in touch with Jason and Jordan (she's even worse now than she ever was). Jason and Jordan are going out and I have become the third wheel. Are you coming over this summer? Mr. and Mrs. Cooperstone said it was O.K. with them, but you probably shouldn't. I Probably will be going over there this summer anyway to get used to the way of speaking and stuff (although I have spent at least five summers with you it shouldn't be to hard to fit in).
Can't wait till I get to see you again
T.T.Y.L.
Aithne
P.S. Medb asked me to get your mom to send her some more dragon scales, she needs some for the stuff she's knitting for you.
P.P.S. Keep Torrentem till I get there, Dumbledore dude has Keelia
Finished with the letter I sealed it with my wand so that only he can open it and I called for Torrentem and Keelia. I gave the letter to Torrentem and wrote another quick one to reply to the letter.
Dear Headmaster Dumbledore
I would gladly accept to go to your pristine school. Although I do believe this letter was to reach me five years ago I have had an untraceable charm on me and your bird could not find me till now. I am placing the charm back up so only my friends can reach me. If you would like to send me anything please use the bird in front of you, she will stay with you unless you give her something to send to me, or you tell her to go to Torrentem or Dempsey. Owls make a mess and are uncommon around here. Keelia can find me, she will leave once I arrive in England.
Ann J. Malison
I put that letter in an envelope and gave it to Keelia, telling them who to deliver them to and to stay there till they feel my presence I send them off. It's going to be a long summer if I can't get there soon.
A few weeks later in the great hall, leaving feast.
Dumbledore just finished with his end of year speech and every one has settled down to eat when through the window comes two birds of prey. A cry arises from the Slytherin table.
"Torrentem, Keelia, what are you doing here?"
The first arrives and lands in front of Dumbledore the second in front of a very stunned, blond Slytherin.
They each took their letters, Dumbledore trying to shoo the bird back to its owner, while Draco fed his some meat.
Dumbledore read his letter looked at the bird and said a barely audible,
"Alright you can go join Torrentem now I won't need you till she gets here anyway."
Having heard the order, the bird flew to join its mate and the Slytherin table.
At the Slytherin table Draco stood and took both birds with him as he headed for the dungeons, arriving at the doors of the great hall he turns looks at Professor Snape nods his head and walks out.
Now everyone in the Great Hall is at a loss for words, who does those predatory birds belong to? Why did they go towards Draco Malfoy? The only people who would know the answer nobody dares to ask, Dumbledore would not give them a straight answer and since when does Malfoy's talk civilly to others.
Draco left the hall in a hurry and ran down to his room in the dungeon. Once he arrived he whispered out the pass word and dove (literally) to his desk, where he started righting a response to the letter he received.
Dear Aithne
BUMBLEBEES STUPIDITY. Any way, congratulations on finally getting your letter I can't wait for you to come and visit my home for once. I would suggest you come around end of July beginning of August cause that's when we usually get our letters with lists and we can go shopping together. I would also suggest you bring your own potions ingredients and all the books you have used in your tuition.
My dads finally in prison (hopefully he'll stay there) moms planning on visiting Medb and telling her the news herself. E-mail me once you know when you're coming in. I would also suggest you find a way to use computers in school because of the magical interference of all the wards.
Dempsey
Once he was finished he pulled out the letter that he received and reread it.
Once finished, Draco rolled the letter up and headed outside to the forbidden forest. After checking to make sure he wasn't being followed he stepped into the forest and started running as deep as he could get in one minute. Suddenly he stopped in front of a cave and stepped in quietly.
"Ah, if it isn't young Mr. Malfoy, what brings you here at this time of the year, your only ever here at Christmas time and before exams. In need of my service again?"
Suddenly a man looking no older than forty came out of the shadows looking extremely bored.
"Of course, I just need you to bring this to Aithne."
"Gladly."
"Oh and Gall, she's going to be here next term."
"FINALY! YES! I get to start teaching you pest something this year." Gall started towards the cave entrance, "I'm going to inform Dumbledore right now."
"Oh no you don't, you are going to take that letter to Aithne first."
Gall turned and looked at the stern faced Slytherin.
"It should arrive with in the next few minutes. There are you happy; I'm going to go see Dumbledore now. Good day Dempsey."
With that Gall turned and ran out of the cave towards the castle.
'Well that was interesting. I hate it when he does that.' With that thought in mind Draco headed back to the castle and to his dormitory.
Here are the meanings to the names in this chapter,the names say alot about the charachter.
Gall means stranger
Dempsey means proud
Aithne means fire
Torrentem means swift
Keelia means beautiful and graceful
Jordan means descending
Jason means healer
Medb meansA mythical queen
Menwmeans Mythical a wizard
