Prologue

Hogwarts was the best thing that ever happened to me. When I was eleven years old, I received my letter. It was not a shock; I always knew I would be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Both my parents had attended the school, so my aunt had told me and she had already explained things to me before the letter had arrived. I was excited to be attending Hogwarts, but was not looking forward to leaving the place in which I called home and my baby sister behind. But like everything else, things needed to change. My journey to Hogwarts had begun.

Every since I was given up at birth, and later my sister Phoebe, we had lived with my godmother, or aunt as we had taken to calling her, at Dixon Manor. The manor had been in the family for generations and was a large three floored gothic-like mansion. It was secluded and situated in the mountain range of Serra da Estrela, also known as 'Mountain Range of the Star,' in Portugal. Behind the manor was a vast open space of around thirty acres of land, on which around twenty horses roamed. Four large chimneys stuck out of the stone roof, and at the top of the two highest spikes were two large, round windows, below which there was a large square window in each of the rooms of the three floors. The manor it itself was made of grey bricks, over thousands of years old.

The Mondego,the biggest river entirely within the Portuguese Territory and which ran through the vast grounds of the manor. As well as the Mondego, the Zezere, which was a tributary to the Tagus and Alva, also had its headwaters in the mountain range; both ran through the nineteen-hundred-ninety-three-meter-high mountain range. Except for the manor and the land surrounding it, there were no other signs of human occupation, allowing for us to go about our life without having to worry about other people seeing us use magic.

Whilst we lived in Portugal and I could attend the Academy for Elements, Stefani had decided that I would attend Hogwarts, where she would be able to keep an eye on me; as she was a Professor, Professor Stefani Dixon, there.

I was immediately sorted into Gryffindor, which naturally shocked loads of people seeing as they thought I would be in Slytherin, based on my family. Luckily for me, my best friends Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet, whom I had met on the train, were both sorted in Gryffindor; along with twins Fred and George Weasley and Lee Jordan. The six of us had hit it off with each other straight away. I knew this was going to be a fun seven years.

My second year of Hogwarts I made the Quidditch team as a chaser along with Angie and Alicia with the twins getting the beaters post and Lee commentator. I loved flying and loved the sport, so making the team was the cherry on top of the cake. I loved my classes; Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts being my favourite classes. My least favourite class was Potions. It was not the actual class; I loved learning and making the different types of potions, it was just the teacher. Professor Snape was impossible, favouring Slytherins, which was not a surprise seeing as he was their Head of House, and punishing the other houses, particularly the Gryffindors.

So anyways my first two years at Hogwarts were amazing. I had amazing friends and lots of fun. The only thing that seemed to put a damper on my wonderful life was my newly gained stalker, Marcus Flint. The cause of this I was not sure about, as I had heard that he had a girlfriend. So why he started to pay interest to me was a mystery. Oh and the fact that my Aunt Stefani told me the truth about who my and Phoebe's parents were and that we had another sibling; Phoebe's twin to be exact. The only downside to this was that our new brother did not know about us and we were not allowed to say anything to him; as our father wanted to tell him when the time was right. Both Phoebe and I had argued that it would cause problems and trouble in the future, to which Stefani took no notice. So help us when the truth comes out, I just hoped my friends would forgive me for not mentioning it to them or maybe I could?

This is my first story which I have published on this site. Please review and tell me what you think of it. :)
