A romantic, action thriller about how we can change our destiny and write our own future.

1. Chapter 1

The wind whispered across the lake as the night dawned over the land. I looked out and I imagined the underworld and thought that if it did exist, my parents would be there. My parents... a distant memory now. The past, not the future.

"COME ON KATE WE NEED TO GO!" I sighed. Why was Bandon always so worried about school? All he cared about was homework, school work and practising spells. However, I didn't care about any of it. I only liked the cool spells. The spells that set fire to things, the spells that froze things or killed things. I stood up and stared across the lake. The deep, dark blue shone in the moon light. I sat back down. So what if we got a detention? They couldn't stop me from following my destiny, no one could.

I was looking at the lake when all of a sudden a chill hit me. "You two are in big trouble." sneered Professor Snape. I turned around to see a cold grin spread across his face. He knew about me. He knew everything. Brandon was in tears. His knee was cut and Professor Snape had his arm twisted around his in, what looked like, a painful position.

I stood and followed Snape up to the school. Really Kate? Really? One week into the school year and you were already in a heap of trouble. I stared at the stone floor. I knew Brandon would be angry at me and would attempt not to talk to me ever again. But Brandon wasn't one to hold grudges. Last year when I dyed his hair pink by accident, he said he would never speak to me again, but the next day he was my best friend again. So at least I won't loose my best friend, maybe my wand, but not my best friend.
