DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that looks familiar, this all belongs to J.K. Rowling. The character of Jane Groenhorst is mine though.
Reviews are love! This is my first try at Fanfiction...
Chapter One: The first encounter
After many years I was now finally ready for my magical education and on my way to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Although I had never been to the wizarding world I was no stranger to magic. Through books and individual study I managed to master all the spells and potions I could find. Everything I needed I could order via owl. My beautiful snowy owl Noah was a gift from Headmaster Dumbledore, so that I could order books, ingredients and other supplies, but also communicate with the wizarding world. There was only one item that I could not get through the mail: a wand. Mr Ollivander stressed the importance of buying a wand in person, but I did not see the importance of owning a wand until I arrived at Hogwarts…
"Ravenclaw!" I was now officially sorted. I happily joined my fellow students, who looked upon me with befuddled faces. I do admit that I was not surprised by their reaction, it does not happen everyday that someone like me is being sorted. After Kelly Zonko was sorted into Gryffindor, Headmaster Dumbledore seemed to be on the verge of giving a speech. Apparently he had also noticed the whispers going around. "Good evening everyone! I would like to welcome all of our new students and I hope that you will all settle in and enjoy your time here like the many witches and wizards before you. To all the other students I would like to say welcome back. Another year, another sorting and another feast, but you might have noticed that there is something, or rather someone, who seems to have provided a not so common occurrence in our annual sorting tradition. I would like to introduce Miss Jane Groenhorst. She is from The Netherlands and as you can see she is not eleven years old. In fact Miss Groenhorst has first completed her muggle education, being the proud owner of a Masters degree in English literature. Like all of you she received her Hogwarts letter when she was eleven, but chose to finish her muggle education first and attend Hogwarts later on in life. So after another eleven years of waiting I am happy to welcome her at Hogwarts at last. So without any further ado I wish you bon appetit."

Another year another sorting, and another sorting means more dunderheads to teach. I wish Albus would just allow me to stay in my chambers, but no, the old coot simply insists that I attend this madness each and every year. But this year there was something different. Albus had already informed us of the Dutch 22-year-old who was starting her magical education with us this year, but he never said anything about the girl. In she walked, with her long legs, hourglass figure, sea green eyes and a crown of golden wavy hair that just reached to her hip, she must be the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes upon. Unfortunately for me she is a student and since she had no magical education at all I will probably have to yell at her for her incompetence. Wait! Did she just perform wandless magic?! And silent! This might prove to be very interesting indeed.

Those cinnamon pies on the other side of the table look simply irresistible! O well this is a feast is it not? When the pie hovered to my plate the entire Ravenclaw table gasped. "What is wrong?" I asked them. I was sure I did not do anything shocking I simply helped myself to a desert. "You can do wandless magic! And I did not hear you preform the spell either!" Now I was confused, how else was I supposed to do magic? I did not own a wand, it never occurred to me that this was necessary.
Also I did not really see the use of screaming spells it could bother people, but apparently not everybody thought along the same line. "Was is wrong what I did?" They looked at me as if I was mad. "No it was bloody fantastic! How did you learn to do that without your wand?" "I do not have a wand."The entire table became very quiet. Some people stared at me with their mouths open and just as they wanted to ask me more questions, Dumbledore vanished all the food and stood up for what I think will be another speech.
"I hope everyone enjoyed this wonderful meal. Like each year I would like to introduce all of our teachers to those who are new here at Hogwarts. Minerva McGonagall Head of Gryffindor house and Transfiguration professor. Filius Flitwick Head of Ravenclaw house and professor of Charms, Pomona Sprout, our Herbology professor and Head of Hufflepuff. Professor Severus Snape, Potions master and Head of Slytherin..."
Dumbledore droned on, but I did not hear another word he was saying. My eyes were fixed upon professor Severus Snape, and it seemed that his eyes were firmly fixed on mine...
