Chapter 1:

My name is Ariel Walker. I am seventeen years old. You know when you watch movies, or hear in the news, about a girl loosing her parents, because they died, and you never think it could happen to you. It happened to me. I was walking home from school and saw a bunch of police cars heading to my home. I saw the smoke rising into the sky. I rushed home and saw that my home was on fire. I ran to a police officer. "What's going on? This is my home. Where are my parents?" I yelled.

The police officer looked at me with sad eyes. The fire was just going out, thanks to the firemen.

"Are you Ariel Walker?" he asked. I nodded, my eyes filling up with tears. I wished I could magically wash them away, but that would give away me being a witch. Over the years, I learned the number one wizard world rule: You don't let muggles see your magic. I knew what he was going to say, I just knew it, and I didn't want to hear it. I waited for the police man to finish.

"I'm sorry, but your parents didn't survive the fire. You are going to have to go to foster care." he said. I nodded and turned away. I knew my life would never be the same. "I'm going to walk to the park, to think things through." I said to the police man. He nodded with sad eyes. "I'll come get you when the time is right." he replied. I nodded and I walked to the park to think. Everything I owned was gone, my house, my clothes, and my parents. I was alone.

I started to cry when suddenly, a firm hand was on my shoulder. I jumped in fright and looked up to see my Aunt Molly Weasley. She wasn't really my Aunt, but she was so close, that I just called her Aunt Molly.

"Hi Dear, I know this is tough. You just cry it out. Mommy Weasley is here for you." she said. I smiled as best as I could, but then dropped my head into her arms and cried. After what seemed like forever, the police officer I talked to earlier came up to us.

"I'm sorry to have to bring this up right now, but Miss Walker's parents left a will for her to see and take care of. I'm going to have to bring her down to the station, that way she can be on her way as soon as possible." he said. I nodded. "Did you find them?" I asked. The police officer stopped. He was obviously taken back by my question. "Y..ye..yes we did. They were in the masterbedroom. It seemed that they were sleeping when they passed on." he replied. I sighed. "At least they didn't feel any pain." I replied. My Aunt Molly patted me on the back as I mulled this new piece of information over.

"Can she come with me?" I asked, motioning to my Aunt. The police officer nodded and Molly and I followed him to the station. Molly had used her owl to get Uncle Arthur to join us. When he arrived, we headed inside. The police officer brought us into a room and a lawyer joined us. "Well Miss. Walker, it seems that your parents have some requests that I have never seen before. It says that you are to live with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weasley, and that they have your parents will at their firm." said the Lawyer. I smiled to myself. The translation of this statement was easy. "My parents made a wizard will, meaning that it was magical and had things to do with magic in it, therefore, the muggle lawyer had no clue. I smiled yet again. My parents were always full of surprises. They always continued to make me jump, which I loved.

Mr. Weasley nodded and we then left to go see the wizard lawyer. I had not been in the magical world in over four years. My parents had no magic, and I did, therefore, I was a half blood. I didn't want to go to Hogwarts, so I went to regular school. I didn't feel the need to learn about my magic. I could use it for tasks around the house, such as making tea, or washing dishes, but I didn't find the need to register my magic, or be labled as a witch. I decided that I wanted to learn on my own. My parents home schooled me when it came to magic and I had just taken exams to get to the sixth year. of learning magic. They thought it was best to keep me up on my magic, just in case, so I complied. Then this happened.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and I were waiting for this wizard to come into the office so we could square these things away. I had a funeral to plan, and I was going to make it muggle, for my parents. They would have wanted it that way. He finally came in and we started the process. "Ok, Miss Walker, we have a will for you. "Obviously." I said. Aunt Molly smacked the backside of my head and I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't be fresh." she said. I nodded and turned back to the wizard.

"The will states the following if you would like to read it." he said.

I nodded and read the will out loud.

The Will of Robert and Samantha Walker

We have thought about this greatly and have decided to write a will to give our daughter everything when we die. We want to leave her all our money, which is the sum of $30,000.00.

I stopped reading. "Is this muggle money or wizarding money?" I asked.

The wizard smiled. "You can trade in your muggle money for wizard money. Muggle money is worth twice the amount of wizard money, so you will have $60,000.00." he said.

That will pay for your last year of Hogwarts, considering you have studied at home and qualified for your sixth year." said Aunt Molly. I sighed. "I don't want to think about that just yet. If you don't mind." I said. "Of course dear, don't worry about it, we'll talk about it when the time is right." she said. I nodded and continued reading.

We have arranged with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, at your birth, that you and their son, Ronald Bilius Weasley shall marry in the case of our death. We think it would be wise for you to have an arranged marriage, in case of a marriage law. The Weasley's have also agreed, because if we are dead before it happens, then we know you will be safe, because He Who Must Not Be Named has killed us.

I stopped reading. "I thought a fire killed them?" I asked. The wizard and my Aunt and Uncle exchanged glances. "It was, but He Who Must Not Be Named..." I cut my uncle off. "You mean Voldemort." I said. "Shhhh girl do you want the darkness to surround us." said the wizard. I sighed. "So, you're telling me that HE killed my parents." I said. They all nodded. I sighed. "Great, this is just great. I try my whole life to stay away from the magical world, besides being homeschooled, and this is what I get." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "I think I'm going to keep reading." I said. The wizard nodded, and I continued to read.

It will protect you to change your name and have a husband. Blending in is a wonderful thing for you at this time. We know that you will do this to honor our deaths, and that you are a wonderful witch. We hope that you will one day grow up to be a fine young woman.

We also thought about the requirements and decided to give you a deadline of three months to marry Ronald, due to the fact that you would probably never marry him if we just told you to. We love you. It's not that we don't trust you, but we need to make sure you're safe. We have put a magical spell on this will, that way when you are done reading it, it must be done or consequences will be had. We are doing this for your own good. Plus, it is our dying wish. We know you will make the right decision. Please be safe and know that we love you.

I finished reading and felt the tears on my face. The next thing I knew, there was a soft glow around my head and I knew the spell had been completed. "I guess that because I loved my parents, I'm going to do what they asked." I said, not caring about the spell. The wizard smiled. "Now, that's a good girl." he said. "Would you like to switch your muggle money to wizard money?" he asked. I thought a moment and then spoke. "I want most of the money to be wizarding money, but I want a small portion to be muggle, just in case of an emergency." I said. Uncle Arthur smiled. "That's very wise of you, see your already following in your parent's wishes." he said. I smiled. "I must tell you, that I did not know they would put a spell on the will, which would then transfer to you, when you read it." said Aunt Molly. I sighed. "Well, I don't blame anyone. They were just trying to protect me." I said. Molly smiled, as did my Uncle Arthur. "Shall we go, so you can meet Ronald?" asked Aunt Molly. I took a breath in and then let it out. "Well, I guess it's now or never." I said as I followed my Aunt and Uncle out of the room.
