"Victoire! Victoire, wake up!"

Victoire rolled over in her bed.

"Wake up! Your Hogwarts letter is here!"

"What?!" She sat bolt upright.

Victoire's sister, Dominique, was slapping her on the face, trying to wake her up. Dominique looked older and prettier than Victoire, even though she was two years younger. She had inherited more of her mother's veela blood than Victoire, even though her hair had a tinge of ginger in it from her father. Victoire had glasses, her hair had no ginger in it, and was not as light colored as her sister. Across the hallway, her brother, Louis, sat up too.

"When you say Hogwarts letter-"

"-You know perfectly well that I mean just Victoire." Dominique said.

"Darn it." said Louis.

Louis was only six years old and was very jealous of his older sisters, who got to go to Hogwarts before him. Louis looked almost exactly like Dominique, just with short hair. He also did not care for his veela traits, unlike Dominique. Victoire always thought Louis was a little angel, and Dominique was a little devil.

"Victoire, Dominique, Louis! Come downstairs if you want breakfast before we go to Diagon Alley!" called a voice from downstairs.

"We're coming dad!" Louis called. They all rushed downstairs.

Victoire's parents, Bill and Fleur, were waiting downstairs. Fleur was placing a tray of cinnamon rolls on the table by magic. They already had their traveling cloaks on.

"Eat quickly, we are meeting Andromeda and Teddy there." Fleur said, in a harsh French accent, "Victoire, your letter is over there." she said, gesturing toward the fireplace.

Victoire snatched her letter and ripped it open. It looked just like the Hogwarts letters Bill had saved. Then she went to the table and started shoving her food in her face. She glanced at Dominique and Louis, who both were looking at Victoire curiously while eating their rolls daintily. Unlike her siblings, Victoire had inherited her father's eating habits. Sometimes Bill and Fleur would joke about how Victoire was part werewolf too. Bill had been bitten by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback at the Battle at the Astronomy Tower fourteen years ago. Since Greyback had not been fully transformed at the time, Bill was not a true werewolf.

"Alright, outside everyone," Bill said.

They all went outside where they would side-along apparate to Diagon Alley. Bill took Louis, and Fleur took Dominique. Victoire felt scared by herself on the windy cliff, but that fear vanished when Bill came back and suddenly Victoire was plunging through what seemed like a long, narrow, tube in complete darkness.
