"Well I finally got my letter this is a good thing... at least I know now that I'm not a squib."

A girl stood near the window, reading the letter that her trusty owl Beauty had just brought. She was small, slim, with a very fragile exterior, with black thin hair that lay limp on her shoulders. She looked like your average 11 year old; the only thing that would draw your eyes when you looked at her, was her black eyes that seemed able to absorb you with a single glance.

"Cora "the girl said

At that exact moment a creature appear with spindly arms and legs and an oversize head and eyes.

"Yes, Miss Snape, what can Cora do for Miss Snape"

"I would like to know if mother is home "

"Yes, Miss Snape, yes, Mistress Coldheart is in her office ."

"Then please tell her that I received my Hogwarts letter and ask her if she is free to take me to the Leaky Cauldron so that I might get the thing I need for school"

"Yes, Miss Snape, I'll tell mistress Coldheart right away "said the creature as it disappeared.

The girl nodded her head and sat at her desk, getting started on writing the letter that she would send back at Hogwarts. Not more than two minutes past and the house elf name Core reappeared.

"Mistress Coldheart said that Mistress is too busy to go with Miss Snape to get her school stuff and that Miss Snape will go with Mister Lupin . "

It was just like her mother to be too busy for her and Alexandra was so use to it that she didn't even care, if her mother actual went with her then that would be more shocking than this.

"Thank you Cora ", the girl said putting the letter in an envelope and giving it to her owl, "Inform me when Mister Lupin will arrive."

"Yes, Miss Snape, would Miss Snape like something to eat? "

"No , Cora , you can leave"

"But Miss Snape hasn't eaten anything all day..."

"Cora I said you can leave "

"Yes Miss Snape" and with that the creature disappear.

The girl, Alexandra, walked over to her bed and took in her arms and moved to the window again.

"It will be ok Bijou, it won't be long now and will be at Hogwarts, and there will meet father , and I hope that he'll be different from mother , I hope..." as she said this the a single tear escape from the girls' eyes .
