A/N: This is my first fanfiction so please don't be too mean and please review! I don't own Harry Potter!
For as long as I could remember I had a normal life. A normal family, normal school, normal life-style, and normal friends I honestly never thought that my life could ever be anything but normal. That was before I got my letter from Hogwarts University in Trilacus, New York.

3 years later
"Alex!" I saw my best friend Isabelle was running with all her new school stuff all over her. It was a funny sight, seeing a 5'6, slightly plump, curly hair, and tan skin running towards you covered with new school stuff. She finally reached me after about a minute out of breath.
"Bell you're a witch why are you carrying all of that stuff? Use a charm on your bag and put the stuff in there!"
"Well we can't do magic outside of school and I never mastered that charm yet…" She started to blush.
"Hahaha! Oh Bell here out your stuff in my bag I'll give it back to you before I leave." I said as I was opening my bag and she dumped all of her stuff in.
"Why aren't you in Ravenclaw? You're so smart and amazingly good with magic!"
"You would like that your best friend in the same house as you?"
"YES! Than we could be together like always!" Man does this girl must look crazy jumping up and down next to a girl who is only 5'2…
"Thank Merlin I'm in Slytherin then!" I said and I stuck out my tongue.
"You're so mean Alex! Now I know why you're a Slytherin." At this I laughed so hard because she has always known how mean I could be. "Stop laughing people are starting to stare!"
"Sorry Bell! It's just you're so damn funny!" I took a few breaths to stop laughing. "Hey can I go look at the new Firebolt? I wanna get it!" I asked pointing to the window as we pass the Quidditch Supply Store.
"I hate Quidditch, though!" Bell fell off the broom her first time flying and ever since then she hated flying.
"Pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeeee!" I asked in the most annoying whine I could manage.
"Fine, but you owe me a make-"
"AHHHH! Thank you!" I jumped and gave her a huge hug and ran in the Quidditch Supply Store and Bell came in after me.
There I saw it the Firebolt 3000 it was so beautiful and perfect! I would pay anything for it and it's a good thing that I have a rich family.
"May I help you miss?" The shop keeper asked me.
"Yes I would like the Firebolt 3000." I said in the best professional voice I could manage.
"Are you sure It cost 30 galleons?" He said concerned probably because I'm 13.
"Yes! Here I have it!" I said excitedly and hand him 30 gold coins.
"Okay" He walked to the back and came out with a new broom wrapped and handed it to me. "Have a good day!"
"You too!" I ran into Bell that was standing outside waiting for me.
"I will never understand you, Alex!" She said shaking her head. She looked at her watch "Holy shit! I have to get home! I'll see you tomorrow on the train!" She said and grabs her stuff from my bag.
"Bye!" I said and started to walk to the pub so I could floo home. As I was walking I was thinking about riding my new broom and winning the quidditich cup for Slytherin. I got there in a few minutes and I stepped into the fireplace and said "9654 Main Street Afton, New York!"
"I'm home!" I said as I got out of the fireplace and started to head to my room.
"Alex we need to talk to you. It's important!" I heard my mother say from the dining room. I walked in and saw my mother, father, younger twin sisters (11) around the table.
"What's going on?" I was worried what they would say the last time we had a family meeting was when I got my acceptance letter to Hogwarts University.
"Well Alexis you should sit down before I tell you this." I sat down and my mother took a deep breath. "Alexis your real father lives in England and the guy you have called dad… isn't you real father…" What is she saying I looked around and saw my family's faces and saw that she was telling me the truth.
"So you're saying you slept with someone else?" I asked getting slightly mad that this was kept a secret from me!
"Yes… I'm sorry!" I walked away when my mother said this I was beyond furious with her! "Alex he's a wizard!" my mother said when I was almost out the room and this made me stop for a second.
"I don't care! You are such a bitch for keeping this from me!" I swore at my mother for the first time and she didn't say anything so I headed for my room again. No one said anything to me so when I got in my room I started to cry my heart out! How the hell could they keep this from me! Once I get back to school I'm looking for my real father! With that I dried my tears went to my trunk and packed my stuff. Tomorrow I will have to tell Bell all of this… Joy!
