A/N: So here's the first story of my AU Harry Potter series I came up with, it may be slow at the start because I have to introduce my two OCs and weasel them into the lives of our favorite witches and wizards. So please give me a couple of chapters before you decide that you don't want to read it, because I promise it will get better as time passes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, the wizarding world, or anything else related.. JK Rowling does. The only things I do own my OCs Elizabeth, Matthew, and their parents.

So without further ado.. our story begins..

Chapter 1- Awaiting her letter

June 20th 1991

Our story begins with an eleven year old girl named Elizabeth J. Miller, she had long light brown wavy hair and light brown eyes, was average height but because she was thin and had long legs it made her appear to be taller than she was, and had to wear black squared glasses to see. If you asked her what her favorite thing about her was, she would say her glasses because she thought they made her look older.

Elizabeth loved reading and her studies, she always tried her best to see the good in people even when they gave her reasons not to, loved making friends, and was very mature for her age. Now she wasn't perfect she was human after all, her worst flaws were her lack of self-confidence, she give up on herself to easily, and she was to shy for her own good.

Right now she was looking out her window of her small second story bedroom, stretched out on the window seat with the window wide open letting in the warm summer breeze. Now Elizabeth was not simply watching the clouds go by or daydreaming like most girls of her age would be doing looking out their window, she was waiting for a letter to come.

Same may think it's odd to be waiting for a letter in a window because post only comes to mail boxes, but this letter was special. It was her ticket out of the house away from her parents who always seemed to be fighting, and it would mean she would know for sure was magical like her older brother Matthew.

You see Elizabeth grew up in the town of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon. Elizabeth's father Frank worked as a banker at the local bank and sometimes helped friends out as a handyman, while her mother Lynn only had a part-time job cleaning houses so she was able to do that and still take care of the kids and the housework.

Since her parents both had low paying jobs her family always had what they needed and only sometimes got what they wanted. Her parents claimed it was to show her and Matt that sometimes just because you want something doesn't mean you get to have it, but they both knew it was because they couldn't afford too many extra things.

Her parents seemed to always be arguing and fighting, which left Matthew to pick up the pieces and comfort his little sister. There were some nights that their parents were fighting so much and they would sleepover in eachothers room just because Elizabeth would get scared and couldn't sleep.

There was something about the family that only they knew, her brother Matthew was a wizard even though her parents are what wizards called muggles since they had no magical powers. Being that her parents were muggles they didn't have the slightest clue the wizarding world existed and the family only found out about that two years ago when a nice and kind witch who came with Matthew's letter to explain.

Flashback (July 25th 1989)

Out of nowhere there was a knock on the door of the little two story house.

"I'll get it!" a young boy with shaggy dark brown hair yelled, jumping up out of the floor where he had been playing with his little sister. His little sister ran after him to see who was at the door. Together they opened the door to reveal a tall, black-haired lady in some weird looking emerald-green dress. She had a very stern face with squared black glasses.

"Hello children." the lady said "Are your parents home? I need to have a word with them."

"Yes our parents are both home" said the boy, then he turned to his sister "Liz go get mom and dad, tell them that someones at the door for them."

All he got as a reply was a nod from his sister before she ran off to find their parents, she was to shy to speak with a stranger there.

The boy turned back to the lady at the door and said "I'd let you in Miss but my parents don't allow us to let strangers in the house by ourselves."

The lady smiled "I understand, I wouldn't want you to go against your parents wishes. I don't think I introduced myself, my name is Minerva McGonagall, you can call me Ms McGonagall" She put her hand out hoping the boy introduces himself, even though she knew more about him then he did of her.

The boy took her hand shook it, saying "My name is Matthew Wayne Miller, you can call me Matt."

She smiled thinking about how nice he will be as her student. "It's a pleasure to meet you Matt."

Before anything else could be said Elizabeth returned with their mother Lynn. Lynn was a very average women in her early thirties, she was average height and weight, had dark brown eyes and curly black hair.

"How can I help you?" Lynn asked, unaware how that one question would be the beginning of something very unexpected.

The rest is history, Professor McGonagall came in and told the family that Matthew was a wizard and he was to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn how to control his magical abilities. The family of four did not expect how much their lives would change after hearing the news that McGonagall came to tell them. However if you asked them today the two kids were glad that it changed, the main reason was they finally would be able to get away from their parents constant arguing.

Before Mcgonagall left she was cornered by very concerned Elizabeth. "Miss McGonagall you said that Matt was a wizard, does that mean I'm a witch? I want to go to Hogwarts too!"

McGonagall smiled at the young girls concern and bent down to eye level with her. "Don't worry dear you are a witch, but I'm afraid you can't go to Hogwarts this year."

Elizabeth started to cry "But why can't I go too if I'm a witch?"

"Oh dear don't cry!" McGonagall said wiping the tears off Elizabeth's face, "I did not say you couldn't go at all, but that you couldn't go this year. If my records are correct, which they are, you will be going to Hogwarts in two years time."

Elizabeth calmed down to where she was only sniffling now. "Oh ok, so you'll come tell me in two years?"

McGonagall chuckled "No dear, I wont be coming. We'll send you a letter like the one I gave your brother, and I'll arrange someone to come and take you both to get your supplies for that year."

Next thing McGonagall knew Elizabeth gave her a hug and said, "Thank you Miss McGonagall!" and ran off leaving the stunned Professor there to chuckle and then leave.

End of Flashback

A/N: So? What do you think about it? I had a bit of writer's block when it came to the conversation between McGonagall and the parents so that's why I wrote it the way I did. I know this one is a bit slow but I had to have this chapter to give a little background on Elizabeth and Matthew. I promise it gets better! Next chapter will be fun since she'll get her letter and then goes to Diagon Alley with the help of very sweet redheaded lady and her family. Any guesses who it will be? Although I did kinda give it away haha. Please review and follow! If anyone has any suggestions for me let me know :)!
