Prologue
The Unexpected Visit
It had come as a shock not only to her, but her parents as well; when a lady dressed in black and emerald dress with a pointed hat,—that looked as one of a witch—had knocked on the door that bright and early July, Sunday morning and walked into little Anna's life with word that the young girl was a Muggle-born witch, and that the lady herself had come to take her to get her supplies because she had been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
When asked what Muggle meant the older witch simply laughed a small laugh and said: "Non-magic folk my dear, like your parents. They're what we call Muggles." The older witch then handed her a book; Hogwarts, A History, the cover read and the little girl's bright ocean blue eyes had lit up in wonder and amazement, she hugged the older witch with a bright smile on her face making the older witch laugh with a small smile at the young Muggle-born's enthusiasm.
July 31st, 1989 had started like it always did; the little girls parents doing their morning routine, her mother working on some delicious dessert in the kitchen and her father sitting at the kitchen table reading the morning paper and a young girl with beautiful curly black hair bouncing up and down as she descended the stairs for breakfast in high-spirits like always.
"Morning Mama! Morning Papa!" The young girl exclaimed running around the kitchen to give her mother, than father, a kiss good morning.
Her mother and father laughed at her excitement, and gave their daughter a smile for her never ending enthusiasm. Their daughter sat beside her father at the table and reached for the smaller fold of newspaper that sat at her spot, but being her height, which was very short for the age of 10, almost 11—which her birthday was soon September 1st, to tell the exact date—.
She had finally reached the newspaper without any help and she started to read, mimicking her fathers actions perfectly which made her mother laugh at how much the little girl resembled her father. Curly black hair that stuck out in the back, except her daughter's stuck out all over the place, ocean blue eyes, which her daughter had a better copy when her overly enthusiastic ways took over, it made her eyes shine like sapphires, sometimes her eyes went violet from being in the sun too long, same as her husband.
She set down her daughter's plate in front of her, bacon, eggs and toast, when a knock at the door was heard, the little girl's parents gave each other a confused look.
"I'll get it!" Their overly enthusiastic daughter exclaimed as she bolted out of the kitchen to the front door.
"Were you expecting anyone Charles?" The mother asked her husband.
Charles shook his head and said, "No, Mary. Were you and maybe you forgot?"
Mary thought for a moment before she shook her head and sighed ushering for her husband to follow her to see their daughter. He followed his wife, thinking the worse, seeing as they couldn't hear their daughter, seeing as she always got overly excited about visitors.
Their daughter, nor the visitor were at the front door, they exchanged a confused look, then heard a high-pitched giggle come from the drawing room to their small cottage. They exchanged a knowing smile and a sigh of relief at their daughters laugh. They entered the drawing room and found their daughter sitting on the floor playing with a grey tabby cat that looked to be wearing square spectacles around her eyes.
"Mama, Papa! Look what the kitty can do... come'on kitty, show my Mama and Papa what you showed me." The young girl said to the cat, which transformed into a woman in black and emerald robes and a pointed hat. Judging by the woman's glasses, the cat was in fact this lady.
"Impressive Anna, sweetheart, but what did we say about letting strangers into the house." Mary scolded.
"But Mama, she isn't a stranger, she said she hasn't seen me since I was a baby." Anna whined.
"It is true, Mr and Mrs Cloud, I have come to collect your daughter, now that she has come of age. She has been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am the Deputy Headmistress of the school and I have come to collect Tassiyanna,' she turned to look at Anna. 'You, my dear are a Muggle-born witch. If you would've been either Hald-Blood or Pure, we would've sent a letter."
"O-our daughter can't be a witch..." Mary stammered in shock, sitting down in the nearest armchair at the news of her daughters status.
"I don't mean to intrude Mr and Mrs Cloud, but your daughter is a witch and therefore, I must bring her with me, do not worry she'll be in good hands and you'll be able to see her during, winter, march break, Easter and summer holidays, unless of course she chooses to stay on the school grounds, but that would be highly unlikely seeing as how highly she speaks of the two of you in just the short time that I've met her officially." The older witch explained, with a kind smile towards the young witch's parents.
"So... she'll be sent off with you? And you'll watch over her? Where's the school exactly?" Charles asked the witch taking a seat next to his wife.
"Yes she'll be sent off with me, and I'll help get her supplies such as her robes, her wand, which she only gets one, all of her books and a cauldron for her Potions classes, a bank account at our bank as well as some money for her to use, and maybe even a little treat in the end. Yes I'll watch over her, the entire time and even on the school grounds, she'll be my top priority. The school itself is situated in Scotland. If she were to do this in the years to come she would take a train, called the Hogwarts Express, at Kings Cross Station, between Platforms Nine and Ten to Platforms Nine and Three-Quarters, but she won't need too, I'll bring her to the school early and she'll stay with me, that way she can get used to her surroundings before term begins."
"She will also be able to send letters, and so can you. I've given it upon myself to give your family an owl to deliver the letters to and from Hogwarts, but I'm sure that will take some getting used to. So once a letter is written; simply tie it to her leg and say the name to whom you want the letter delivered to, she'll know right away and have delivered it by morning, depending on the distance. Feel free to name her however you like."
At the end of the older witches explanation, a beautiful barn owl flew into the room and landed in front of Anna making her eyes shine violet for a mere second, than back to the beautiful ocean blue, she stared at the owl in wonder and amazement, can't believing her eyes.
"C-can I name her, Mum? Please. Pretty please." Anna said, looking at her mother with begging eyes. Mary smiled, as did Charles and they both nodded. "Yay!" She exclaimed silently, trying not to hurt the owls ears with her loud squeals. "I think, I'm gonna call you... Luna." The little girl settled on, looking from her mother to her father to the older witch that sat cross-legged in front of the little witch. They all nodded at the name and the little witch smiled brightly, her eyes flashing violet once again.
The older witch complimented the name and handed her one last thing. A book, on the cover read; Hogwarts, A History. Anna's eyes lit up once more, in wonder and amazement, she got up and hugged the older witch, making the older witch laugh and smile at the young girl's enthusiasm.
"Manners, sweetheart. Say thank you to... I'm sorry Mam'm, we don't even know your name." Mary confessed to the older witch.
"Of course not, Mary, that is because I haven't told you it yet. It's Minerva, Minerva McGonagall." Mary didn't seem surprised by how Minerva knew her name, nor did she ask the witch. "Now I'm sorry, but I really must be going, I'll be taking the young one with me. So say your goodbyes, I'll send letter once we get to the school, that we made it... do not worry child, you will see them this Christmas, I'll bring you home myself. Alright?" Anna nodded with a small frown, but it quickly turned upside down when her parents gave her a hug.
She hugged them back than gave Luna a scratch behind the ear, as well as a kiss on the head. "Bye Mama, bye Papa... bye Luna. See you all soon." She turned to Minerva and took her hand, she followed the older witch to the front door and looked back as she left the safety of her home, she waved to her parents, then turned back to her the new life ahead of her.
I-I'm a witch! She thought with excitement. And I'm going to learn how to be one. Her mind told her with determination.
Welcome to the Wizarding World, Tassiyanna Cloud!
