Major Trouble
By Hermione and Selena Silvermoon
Chapter One: But I Don't Want To Go
"Momma, I don't want to go." Angel declared as her mother Callien le Therone ordered her daughters' brass school trunks polished and delivered to their room.
"It's no use Angel, my child. You are going to Hogwarts. Now where's your twin sister?" Callien looked around the cavernous room her daughters shared.
"Off with Val and Ke. Where else would she be? It's been raining for three days now. They are off at the stables with their horses. Selena is feeding Splash for me while she's down there."
The front door slammed and footsteps were heard up the stairs. A girl ran up the stairs, her waist length mahogany hair trailed behind her as she flew around a corner and into her room.
"See there she is." Angel said as she sat down on her bed.
"Selena Daphne Athena Kima le Therone, where have you been?" Mrs. le Therone said as Selena tried to straighten her clothes and smooth her hair.
"Momma, I was visiting Lord Valerian Harding and Contessa Kenalria Kasmir." Selena smiled sweetly at her mother.
"Selena, how easily fooled do you think I am? Rianna struggled in behind you with a pile of muddy day clothes in her arms and you have bare feet. Now, you were riding Starbright weren't you?"
"Yes, Momma, I was riding Starbright." Selena looked over her mothers shoulder at Angel. Angel held up the acceptance letter from Hogwarts. "You're sending us to England to go to Hogwarts when we've been five years at Hempstead. We're graduating this year. Why transfer us three days before term starts. Couldn't Angel go without me? I have to be here. I'm going to be Head Girl this year."
"Enough! By your father's decree you, both of you, will attend Hogwarts. I don't care if it's one year or two. This is a letter from their Headmaster. He says you'll be Head Girl when you arrive. Selena, you and Angel need to pack. I'll leave you two to pack your personal belongings. You leave in the morning. Good night."
"Yes Momma." The twins answered as Callien left the room.
Selena pulled some parchment from her desk drawer and sat down. She grabbed a quill and began to write.
"What are you doing? We are already in enough trouble with Their Majesties." Angel snapped as she looked up from her trunk.
"If you must know I'm writing to this Headmaster Dumbledore or whoever person. The letter says we can bring a cat, toad or owl. Nothing about horses, phoenixes, Dire cubs, or elves, and I'm not leaving without Starbright, Tracer and Flame. Besides Kali hasn't been separated form us since we were born. Do you want me to ask if you can bring Splash and Twist?" Selena answered without looking up from her letter.
"I hadn't even read the letter. I do hope Tracer can make it there and back tonight."
"Tracer, come here girl." Selena called as she dripped dark blue wax onto the letter to seal it. Tracer flew into the room and landed on her perch on the edge of Selena's desk. "Take this to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore at Hogwarts. He has a phoenix named Fawkes. Come back quickly, the letter asks if we can bring you with us." Tracer unfurled her purple and silver wings and headed out the window.
"Selena, we need to pack. Tracer's the quickest on the islands she'll be back soon." The twins went back to packing hoping for a positive reply from Hogwarts. By 9:15 pm they both had fallen asleep. Kali, the elf that was like a nursemaid to the girls, sat by the window watching for Tracer's return.

The door slid open as the gargoyle guarding it jumped to life. Albus Dumbledore trekked slowly up to his office. Albus realized that Tracer was perched next to Fawkes.
"Fawkes, who is your guest? What an unusually colored phoenix." Tracer flew over and landed on his desk and tapped the letter with her wing. "Now who's this from?" Albus opened the letter. "The Crown Seal of the le Therone family. It's been a long time since I've seen this seal." He was careful not to break the seal as he read the letter.
Dear Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Greetings from the Royal Family of Magickal Night Harbor. My sister and I will be attending Hogwarts this year. We write to you today to request the admittance of our pets to your school. Your materials letter says cat, toad or owl. We do not own any of the above pets. We own two horses, two dire cubs, a Fire Horse, an elf named Kali who will refuse to be separated from us, and the phoenix you see before you. Please allow us to bring them to your school with us. Sincerely Princess Selena Daphne Athena Kima and Princess Angel Persephone Ashelia Rea le Therone
Albus finished the letter and contemplated the girls' request. There was a knock on his door and a stern but tired looking woman walked in.
"Ah. Minerva, how great to see you again. I didn't expect to see you return until tomorrow. I've had an odd request for two transfer students. The pair would like to bring two horses, two dire cubs, a phoenix and an elf. I've no problem with this but the pets might scare the students. What do you suggest?"
"Well have you checked their background? If their families have connections with the Dark Lord I wouldn't allow it." Minerva said while the fear in her eyes increased because it was a well-known fact that the Dark Lord, He Who Must Not Be Named, was alive and terrorizing people.
"Minerva, calm. The girls' family is completely on the side of the Light."
"Allow them to bring their pets. I do hope that they end up in Gryffindor."
"Slytherin would be a better place for two pureblooded." Severus Snape had entered the office. He stood there in a black robe with a midnight black cloak over it. He appeared to be a bat flying around the castle that was Hogwarts.
"Both of you stop it. The sorting hat will decide." Albus quickly wrote a letter back to Selena Tracer picked up the letter and flew off through the open window.
