Chapter One

"Madison!" I heard someone shout through my dreams. "Madison, get up now!" I heard again as I opened my eyes to let the blinding sun pour into my vision. "Madison, are you awake?" my mom asked as she stood at the entrance of my room.

"Yes!" I exclaimed agitated. "Why did you wake me up?"

"Because I have some very important news to tell you." As she said this my eyes darted open and I stared at her in wonder.

"Wha-what do you mean?" I asked in bewilderment.

"I mean its time for you to know who you really are, what happened to your father, and who I really am." My mom looked to me as I tried to comprehend what had just left her mouth. I looked on as she continued, "You are a witch, Madison. Hogwarts' school of Witchcraft and Wizardry has sent you a letter saying its time for you to come there and stay for a school year. So you can practice your abilities, learn how to defend yourself, and so on."

I urged her to continue. "Now its my turn to explain myself. Your father and I met at Hogwarts our second year there and grew closer and closer the next 5 years. After we finished school there he asked me to marry him. Now, the man who killed your father was Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord. Never mention his name in public, ESPECIALLY at Hogwarts and the wizarding world. But I needed to tell you all this."

"Wow." was all that would leave my mouth.

My mom searched my eyes for any emotion what-so-ever. I couldn't believe it! I was a witch, my mom was a witch, any my father had been killed by some 'Dark Lord'. "Madison? Are you still with me?"

"Huh?! Oh, yeah, I'm here. Why didn't you tell me this before?" I asked not really mad, just confused.

"I'm so sorry, Madison. I just wanted to protect you. I don't know what I would do without you. I figured I would wait until the right time and when I received the letter from Professor Dumbledore, who is the head master, I couldn't think of a better time." She explained.

"Oh" I thought on.

"So do you want to go?" she asked enthusiastically.

"Yes! I think it would be great, especially to get outta this school I'm in." I sighed.

My mom snickered a little then began to leave my room. "Well you need to be packed in an hour, we leave for the airport tonight." she informed me.

"TONIGHT?!?! ARE YOU MAD, WOMAN?" I exclaimed.

My mom chuckled then left the room to give me my privacy. I sat up in bed and looked around my room. I had a lot of work to do. As I finally came to reality with what my mom had just told me, I sat there in wonder. What is this place going to be like? Will they accept me? No one knew, my fate would come tomorrow.

I shook myself from my thoughts as I drug an old trunk from the closet and began to pack my things for the next few months.
