Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own everything that you don't recognize.

It was a quite night in Denver, Colorado when a lonely 11 year old girl sits in her room feeling neglected. Her so called family was downstairs having the party of all eternity on the night of the 11 year old birthday. Raechel McBurn was just sitting at her old junked computer playing pinball when all of a sudden her older brothers Riley and Rhyan came in and sat down on her bed. They were the only ones who understood her cause they were her real brothers.

All three of them were adopted by their parent's closest friends. Mr. and Mrs. McBurn were killed in a "house fire". But really they were murdered by deatheaters because they wouldn't join over to Voldemort's side when they lived in England. They moved when Riley and Rhyan were 2 and Raechel was 1 hoping to get off of Voldemort's trail but it failed. Deatheaters followed them to Denver and killed Mr. and Mrs. McBurn. The Deatheaters then waited until Voldemort arrived to take Rachel as his own and kill the other two but couldn't for some reason. By the time Aurors came to the house, he had fled fearing that he will never get the Potters. The Aurors then sent Raechel, Riley and Rhyan to live with Mr. and Mrs. Mertz who had a son Ian the same age as Raechel. Raechel, Riley and Rhyan never felt apart of the Mertz family so they spent time to themselves.

"Hey Rae! So how does it feel to 11?" Rhyan asked while Riley was playing with her stuffed monkey, George, the only thing she got from their parents.

"The same as being 10 only now I can start expecting my Hazel's letter anytime now." Raechel answered. Hazel was the closet Wizarding School and resided in Aspen, Colorado unknown to all the muggles. Riley and Rhyan have been going there for the past year and already learned tons.

"You'll love it." Rhyan said still playing with George.

"Yeah I hope so. I just hope I don't get potions Prof. Holland." Raechel heard everything about the school from her brothers and their old books.

"You're gonna get her cause she is the 1st, 3rd and 5th year teacher. So… good luck!" Rhyan said finally looking up at her. His hazel eyes bore into her metallic blue.

"Ignore him Rae. Just cause we get detentions for every little prank we do doesn't mean she will take it out on you too." Riley and Rhyan were the Hazel's pranksters.

"Yeah but this year I will be able to help you guys out!" Raechel smiled at her older brothers.

"Tap...Tap...Tap..." Tinkerbelle, the twin's snowy owl was there with three letters. Raechel opened the window and she flew in dropping the letters in a pile on the bed near Rhyan's knee. Tinkerbelle then flew off, probably to the twin's room to get water.

"It's from Hazel. Here's one for you Riley and a thick one for you Raechel." Rhyan said handing the letters to the owners. Riley and Rhyan opened theirs and it said the departure time for the train and the supply list. Rachel just sat there looking at hers.

"What's wrong Rae?" Riley asked after he finished his letter.

"Oh, um nothing just blacked out for a sec." Raechel answered finally looked up from her letter and gave a small smile.

"RIIIGGHHT!" Riley and Rhyan said in unison just as Raechel finally opened her letter.

"What does it say? Anything Special?" Riley teased.

Oh same old" Raechel said getting back to her computer.

"Come on Rae, We can go 'accidentally' bump Ian into his cake." Rhyan said.

"Yeah let's go!" As they went out of the room to find some mischief.
