"It's not fair, Mum! Why do I have to go to the Salem School for Witches, an all girl school! It won't be any fun! Jamsie gets to go to Hogwarts! I want to be with him!" I whined to my mother.

"Now, Isabelle, you know it's for your own good. I don't want you growing up obsessed with boys, or having...um...well, doing...stuff all the time!" I rolled my eyes at my over protective mother.

"But you always let James do anything he wants! Why won't you let me do one simple thing- go to Hogwarts. Think about it, I'm begging you to go to school!" I protested. I looked up to my dad. "Please?" I asked softly.

"Princess, you know we can't change our minds now. You're leaving tomorrow," He said. He would've let me go, if not for Mum.

"Fine," I sighed in defeat, then stomped upstairs and barged into my twin brother's room."They won't let me go," I growled to him, sitting on the floor.

"Aw, Izzy, you knew they couldn't by now. But we'll still see each other all the time. And just..try to have fun with those girls. I'll miss you, though," he said sadly.

"I'll miss you too." I said, tears coming to my eyes.

Over my years at Salem my mom's protectiveness had not helped much. Her being so overprotective just made me rebel.

The first year I had come back obsessed with boys, exactly what she had not wanted.

The second year I came back with posters of Tao Lee, the lead singer and guitarist from my favorite band, and my wavy brown hair cut choppily and straightened.

After third year I had three piercings on each ear.

Fourth year I added a belly button piercing.

I still loved my mum and dad so so much, I was just frusturated at them not wanting me to do anything. Then fifth year I came back from Salem.

I always came through the Floo Network because I lived in England, when the school was in America. When I stepped out of the fireplace, only James was there, eating.

"Hey, James!" I said, brightly.

"Iz-" he stopped, chocking on his food as he looked up.

"Izzy? Did I hear you come in?" I heard my mum ask, and she rushed in. But then she stopped, seeing me. "Oh, oh Isabelle!" she gasped. I grinned wolfishly as my dad walked in.

I was standing in front of my family with jean shorts, a tight turquoise tank top, and bright red hair. (A/N- I picture her looking like Kat from Victorious)

They just stared at me until James started laughing. Then my dad. But my mom was still looking at me, horrified. "Ch-change it back," she managed to get out.

"I can't," I shrugged, still grinning. "Not with magic, not with anything. Impossible." -ish. I added to myself.

"WHAT?" She said, now mad, before giving up. "Fine. You win. I'll let you go to Hogwarts if you'll stop doing this crazy stuff to yourself. OK?"

"Well, I dunno. I was thinking og piercing my nose, or getting a tattoo-"

"NO!" she shrieked.

"Well, okay then. If you insist!" I said, smiling ear to ear, along with my brother.

I had never liked Salem. I hated it. All those girls- annoying, snobby girls. Compared to that, Hogwarts was going to be Heaven.
