Chapter 1

Down a busy street in Diagon Alley, a young girl looked into a particular shop window, gazing longingly at the Firebolt that was gleaming in the afternoon sunlight. Others passed by, not really giving a glance at the racing broom. Amorina sighed, knowing well that she couldn't have a Firebolt. One reason was that First Years were not allowed broomsticks. Another, her adoptive parents couldn't afford it. An angry voice broke into her thoughts.

"Hey kid! Get away from the broomstick if you aren't going to buy anything!" An angry shopkeeper yelled. He lightly pushed her, trying to force her out of the way. Amorina slightly jumped at his action, causing her to emit a slight pink glow. The shopkeeper didn't seem to notice. "Get outta here, you little brat! You're blocking the door!"

Amorina glared at the man through her emerald orbs. If only you knew who I am, she thought. She walked away, leaving an angry shopkeeper yelling at her to not come back.

As Amorina walked down another street, deep in thought, she ran into boy around her age.

"Hey, watch where you are going!" He snapped.

"Sorry," Amorina retorted, her forest green eyes boring into his ice blue ones.

"Yeah, you better be," he muttered under his breath.

Amorina whirled around. "Is that a threat?" she challenged.

The boy sneered. "Maybe." He twirled his wand in his hand, poising it to defend himself.

Amorina walked up to him, faces nearly touching. "Only cowards fight with wands. True victors don't." She then noticed the pendant hanging on his neck. She saw that a silver snake was engraved in the pale green stone. She gasped. The boy, startled, looked down at what she was looking at. He smirked. "So, you figured it out, huh?"

"Y-you are the heir of Salazar Slytherin," Amorina whispered.

"Yup." He looked almost proud. "Now, if you will excuse me, I must get to Knockturn Alley. My friend told me some fascinating things about the shops there."

Not noticing his leaving, Amorina whispered again, "The heir of Salazar Slytherin."

He heard her. "What is wrong about me being his descendent? And what is it your business that I am?"

Amorina looked straight into his eyes, emerald boring into sapphire. "Because I am the heir of Godric Gryffindor, your ancestor's rival."
