Melina Valimari is an ordinary girl living in the United States. Well, actually, she's anything but ordinary.

Melina is a witch. She attends a wizarding school along with many other young witches and wizards. She lived a very happy life, with great friends and a wonderful family. Untill one day, when she found that all of that was about to change.

One day, Melina was in her room doing an essay for one of her professors, when someone knocked on her door. "Sweetie, your father and I need to talk to you," Mrs. Valimari said. "Ok. One second mom." said Melina. She closed her book and ink bottle, got up, and opened the door. Her mother and father walked in. The three of them sat down on Nicole's bed. Then, Mr. Valimari said, "Honey, this may come as a shock to you." ".we know how much you like your school and your friends." said her mother. ".but we're moving." her father finished simply. For a few moments, Melina didn't know what to say. She stared at her parents like she didn't understand a word they had said, then she finally came to her senses. "Moving!?! But why?" she said surprised. "Well, you see honey, her mother said nervously, "your father got a job over in England." ".in London." "But what about my school?!?," Melina said jumping up from her bed outraged, "I mean, I don't want to go to a normal school!" "Honey, relax,"her mother chuckled, "They have a wizarding school there too. It's called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." "Will I have to start over in the first year again?" Melina asked. "Of course not. You'll start out as a fourth year." her father said kindly. "Oh, ok." Melina said sadly. After her parents left, Melina decided to go to bed and think about what she would tell her friends the following day.
