Chapter 1

Judith had always found that there was something strange about her brother Robert's wife, Isobel. This feeling did not stop Judith from being friendly, it was just a general feeling. They got on well considering that they were only able to see each other around once a year.

Judith and her husband Thomas Jenkins lived in the country on the edge of Southampton in a very comfortable home. Every summer they made their way north to Caithness, Scotland to visit her brother's family. This year was somewhat of a summer celebration, because both she and Isobel were expecting their first child.

One afternoon of the visit the two women were in the kitchen preparing dinner and discussing their pregnancies thus far. They were both due in December and Isobel was constantly referring to her baby as a she. Judith joked that it could be a boy when Isobel said the strangest thing.

"No...my dear sister, we are both having girls and they will share summers together and be as close as sisters."

Judith was shocked by Isobel's certainty on the matter, it seemed like she was in some sort of trance. However, the next moment Isobel accidentally cut herself while chopping the carrots, she paused and just stared down at her finger. It was almost as if she were confused by the sight of her own blood. Judith grabbed her hand.

"Suck on it…like this." Judith sucked her sister-in-laws wound just as her mother use to do for her and her brother as children.

Blood usually had a metallic taste but Isobel's blood numbed Judith's lips and tingled. Isobel pulled her hand away from Judith and watched as her sister-in-law closed her eyes. Judith began to glow slightly and Isobel could now hear the rapid heartbeat of the baby girl within her sister-in-law, just as she heard her own child's. These two girls would have a strong blood bond, and while hers was almost certainly a witch, Judith's could very well be one also.

Months later in the chill of December two healthy girls were born. Olivia Judith Jenkins in England and her cousin Minerva McGonagall in Scotland.

The two cousins were as thick as thieves growing up. Every summer from the age of five they would spend one month in Scotland and one in England. This was the yearly tradition for their vacation until school started again. However, the summer after the girls turned 11 things began to change dramatically in their lives. The girls were at an age where they were observing more of the oddities in their lives and Olivia was particularly observant.

Olivia was with the family in Scotland when the strangest things began to happen. One day an owl came and perched on the window ledge of the kitchen when they were having lunch.

Aunt Isobel rushed at them and suddenly ushered them out of the room and upstairs.

Olivia could have sworn that the owl was carrying letters. Minerva was acting strangely, as if she had a secret that she was not willing to share with her cousin. Olivia asked about the owl and Mineva tried everything to change and avoid the topic.

Olivia had always been good at paying attention to small details, and there was a family mystery in this house, that she planned on solving, eventually.

Later that very night Olivia woke to hear her uncle and aunt in a deep discussion downstairs. Snippets of their conversation floated up through the vent, in the floor of the room where she was suppose to be sleeping.

You knew this time would come Robert.

Yes, but there is one for Olivia also…why?

It sometimes happens my dear…two muggle parents…

I do not want you to give that letter to Judith…I don't want them to lose their daughter like I am about to lose mine.

You are not going to lose your daughter. You can see her on breaks and holidays. Not to mention I can take us to Hogsmeade when ever we like. It's you that doesn't like the world I come from, yet I am to live in this muggle world with you. You are just lucky that it did not fly to England to deliver it. As you are Olivia's legal guardian while she is under your roof you may decline on her behalf…if you truly think that this would be unbearable for your sister.

She has only the one child…it would destroy them. Do you really think my sister and her husband could understand that there is an almost separate magical world surrounding us all?

Perhaps not, but Hogwarts is a wonderful school. It is something I have spoken to Minerva about and I think she will make a very strong witch. I only sense small inklings of power from Olivia. She might as well use her talents in the muggle world. It will benefit her greatly in life. I think she has the making of a leader, even if this world does not see women that way…yet.

Olivia went to sleep and dreamt of witches and flying broomsticks. In the morning she woke and wondered if it had all just been a dream.

Things started to change for the girls once they become 12 and more that just the obvious physical changes at the onset of puberty. Olivia thought that Minerva's new school must have something to do with it. Minerva was not as open and talkative about her school year as she had been in the past. Instead she diverted all conversation back to Olivia and the trouble she often had with bullies in the neighbourhood.

On this particular summer break In England, Minerva and Olivia spent their time wandering around the town and spending time at a pond swimming. They were often interrupted by two annoying, older local boys. These local aristocratic nightmares were Ronald and Joseph Wilson, and they had been bothering Olivia ever since she met them.

Olivia told her cousin tales of their cruelty. As children do, they taunted Olivia, pulled her hair and threw sand at her. Typical horrible things to do to other children. In the school yard they were verbally cruel to the point that the teachers had to usher them away from the younger children.

Ronald and Joseph were now teenagers a year or two older than Olivia and Minerva. The boys were beginning to mature, but still pulling nasty pranks on Olivia whenever they saw her.

Ronald was Olivia's main tormentor and her complaints about him to her parents Judith and Thomas go ignored because of the Wilson family's station in the town.

"Try to ignore them dear. That is what boys do when they like you." Her mother had said to her.

Olivia was discouraged by this attitude and let her parents know it. "I would think that if a boy liked a girl there are far less violent ways to show their admiration. I will never be coerced into going out with such immature boys, you didn't with daddy did you mother?"

Thomas had to chuckle at his daughter's astute summation of the situation. "No she didn't darling and those boys were brought up to think they can get away with anything, but that does not mean that they cannot change and grow into better men. Sometimes the most annoying children can become wonderful adults."

"Good then there is hope for my savage brothers yet." Minerva said as they all laughed.

While Minerva was visiting, the Wilson brothers acted very rude and annoying whenever they ran into them. Strange things began to happen whenever the boys tried to pick on Olivia when she was with Minerva.

Ronald attempted to put a frog down the front of Olivia's dress, when it suddenly bit him and he yelled and dropped the animal. Olivia was shocked that there were teeth on that frog at all, let alone for it attack Ronald. He did deserve it and she and Minerva dissolved into laughter at the evil boy's prank.

Joseph laughed along with them. He was a far calmer boy and likely suffered horribly at the hands of his older brother. Olivia liked him better, and Minerva could see this, as could his brother Ronald.

That didn't bode well for poor Joseph. who would often cajole and force his younger brother into saying something nasty to Olivia. Minerva recommended that they avoid them and they tried to do just that for the rest of summer vacation.

One positive note of this summer break was that Olivia would hopefully never have to see the Wilson brothers again. They were going off to boarding school this fall and hopefully, she would not have to see them ever again.

The next two summers the girls were together for a month in England. Unfortunately, the Wilson brothers also spent their summer break at their parent's home and not at their home in London.

Apparently the two had caused problems at school and their parents felt the small town and rural life would be better for the two juvenile delinquents.

The two arrogant and self serving boys went out of their way to find the two girls walking in the woods or swimming in the pond. It was as if they were following them with less than polite intent.

Minerva preferred to try and stay away from the town. She loved the woods and water and they explored and talked together of their futures and all the dreams they had. It was far safer for a young witch in training to stay away from so many muggles. Those two annoying rich boys seemed to follow Olivia and it worried Minerva.

This summer was no different, the two Wilson boys followed them through the woods, trying to stay out of sight and catch them in the pond. However, Minerva usually knew that they were there.

Minerva also realized that Olivia actually found Joseph a bit attractive, and that Ronald was a mean-spirited boy who jealously disliked Olivia's attention to his younger brother. It would be better if they could just keep their distance from the two of them. There was something off about the older one. It was enough to give Minerva shivers up her spine, whenever he was around.

Minerva knew how to defend them if they ever got mean, but she worried for her muggle cousin. Olivia always stood her ground and was very brave, even physically fought them back when they tossed mud or pebbles at them. Screaming at them and insulting them, giving them their own back in very salty terms.

Minerva was shocked at her cousin's expanded vocabulary as she verbally defended them from the insults of the rude Wilson brothers. It made Minerva happy that half of their summer was spent in the safety of Scotland. However, Minerva's father, Robert was beginning to worry about Olivia spending time in their home, now that Minerva was attending Hogwarts and Malcolm and Robert Jr. were showing signs of similar powers from their mother's side.

A few years passed and the girls were now fifteen years old and blossoming into lovely young ladies. Olivia was in Scotland for her yearly visit, when she was helping her aunt Isobel bake some biscuits. Minerva was sent to go pick up her two younger brother's from the neighbour's house.

Isobel asked Olivia to hand her the stick that was lying on the desk on Olivia's side of the kitchen table. Isobel watched closely to what happened when Olivia handled her, her wand.

Olivia picked up the stick of wood and it tingled in her hand. It was an uncomfortable feeling and her first instinct was to drop it and distance herself from it but she didn't. The tingling became warm as it moved through Olivia's body, but she continued to hold on to the stick. Olivia looked to her aunt who was watching her intently. Olivia handed her the stick and then got back to work rolling out the biscuits and taking sly glances at her aunt, and that odd stick.

Olivia asked Minerva about it later that evening when they were in bed, but her cousin's eyes just widened and she changed the subject to something else. Olivia was holding on to all this strange behaviour. Cataloging it away in her brain for more questioning later. She will get Minerva to talk eventually, perhaps when they go to England. Maybe in Olivia's element she would be able to influence Minerva more.
