Chapter 1
The Beginning

Pence Auryion stood at the airport waiting to retrieve her luggage. Pence didn't really stick out much…she was short, with brown eyes, and brown hair that fell to her shoulders. Once she finally had her bags, Pence walked out and into the foreign streets of London, England. Pence was nineteen and wanted to make a new start. She was a witch fresh out of school, hoping to find somewhere decent to work. But first, she needed a place to stay.
Pence found a small diner, and decided to get some coffee, and then find a place to stay. She walked in to find only one table with people at it. There was a boy with black, messy hair and glasses; another with shaggy, black hair and blue eyes, and the last had light brown hair and amber eyes. Pence smiled and sat at a table near theirs.
She sat thinking for a moment, until she realized the boy with blue eyes was looking at her. He sat for a moment before turning to the door that leads to the kitchen, and yelled something in a different language. A girl with curly, dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail walked out of the door and gave the boy a look.
"Há uns peixes cheirando roxos para fora aqui da espera a ser seduzida?" she asked, repeating what the boy said. The boy nodded and grinned.
"Okay, why did you just tell me there was a purple smelling fish out here waiting to be seduced?" she asked. The boy's smile faded,
"Oh…well, I thought I said, 'There is a lovely looking girl out here waiting to be served." the boy said, nodding at Pence. The girl glanced at Pence, then looked back at the boy and said,
"You really need to work on your Portuguese, hon." and then she walked over to Pence and wrote down her order.
"Oh, and can I speak to the manager? I'm looking for a job." said Pence as the girl started to walk away.
"Sure," she said shrugging.
Moments later, a very short, old woman came out. She had thick glasses that went down to the middle of her cheek, short, red hair, and was wearing an old, tacky sweater. This was not exactly what Pence had imagined when thinking of the manager. Pence stood up when she came near,
"I'm Pence Auryion. I'm new to the country, and um…I was trying to find a temporary job…you know, until I can get on the right track." she said.
"Oh yes, I see," the woman said. Her voice was very high-pitched, and had a thick, Russian accent. "I could use another waitress. I am just starting in this country too." Pence, who was trying desperately not to laugh at her voice said,
"I can do that. What are my hours? When do I start?"
"We are not open at the night, so you work the same hours as that one," she pointed to the girl who waited on Pence, "you may start whenever you feel is ready for you." Pence coughed to hide her laughter,
"I'll start tomorrow morning, thanks. Oh, and I never, um -cough- caught your name."
"Yes, I am Anya Dementrva." the woman walked away, leaving Pence alone with the other four.
Everyone in the room burst out laughing. The girl came over with Pence's coffee and sat down with the other boys.
"I'm on break," she explained, "You don't really have to work much here…hey, come sit with us; I'll introduce you to these guys. We'll be working together, and they'll probably be here everyday." Pence sat down with them, glad she was already making friends.
"I'm Elyon Santose," said the girl, "but you can call me Maj. This is Sirius Black, my boyfriend," Maj pointed to the blue-eyed boy.
"Hey there," he said, giving a charming smile. Maj rolled her eyes and continued,
"This is James Potter," the boy with glasses grinned. "Oh," Maj said, "Don't try and get "involved" with him, he's married. And last, our lonely bachelor…this is Remus Lupin."
"Hello," the last boy said quietly. As they were introduced, Pence looked into their eyes; she definitely sensed something in the last boy.
"So, where are you from?" James asked.
"Oh, um…I'm from Iowa, that's in America. I'm going to try and work alongside a Healer-I mean, uh, doctor! Sorry, doctor!" Pence said hurriedly.
"You're a witch?" asked Sirius
"Heh, yea!" Pence said, relieved, "You guys are all magic then, too?" They all nodded.
"I transferred to the magic school here from Brazil when I was sixteen." Maj said, "I've been friends with these guys ever since."
After awhile of talking, and almost no working; James had been dragged away by his wife, Lily, and Sirius and Maj were outside trying to get out of paying a parking ticket on Sirius's motorbike. Pence was sitting at the table with Remus. He seemed very quiet, and was merely looking out the window at Sirius and Maj talking with a muggle police officer.
"I just realized, I still haven't found a place to stay…which I said I was going to do hours ago…" Pence said suddenly.
"There's the Leaky Cauldron," Remus said, turning away from the window, "It's not too expensive, and it's not very far from here…I could, um, take you, if you want." Pence smiled,
"Sure, I don't really know my way around so…and I've already had my money transferred over to Gringots, so it shouldn't be a problem to pay." Pence informed Ms. Dementrva, who was babbling in Russian on the telephone in back, that she was leaving. Her and Remus bid ado to Sirius and Maj, who were now trying to figure out how they were going to pay for the parking ticket.
Remus led the way to the Leaky Cauldron without a word. After seeing that Pence got a room, he said he had to be somewhere before sunset, and left. As Pence lay in her bed that night, taking in all the new sounds, she thought,
"This is my chance to start over. I'm going to forget all about the past and move on. This is the beginning…" she smiled to herself, as she drifted off to sleep.

How did you like it? Should I continue? Reviews!
Oh, and to point out some things…
The title is in French, it means, "To See Beyond the Moon."
Ms. Dementrva, is basically exactly like a substitute teacher we had. For some reason, I could see her owning a diner. Haha…
This is very different from Incoherent Memories, Pence isn't a werewolf, there's no Hogwarts involved…It's very odd to write so differently…
Anyways, tell me what you think!
Peace loves,
