Much to Karina's disappointment, Kapir had a successful 2 day journey. Karina scolded him for delivering the letter, but still felt obliged to reward him with a mouse, which he gladly accepted. The next week was a blur of packing and bickering with her father. Even though the school term wouldn't be starting until September 2nd, Karina had to leave for London early. She needed to get situated at her mothers home, and buy school supplies(she wouldn't be flying more luggage than necessary). As more days passed and her flight date closing in, Karina's father called her to the dinning room two nights before her departure. Karina's hair was tied up sloppily and her sleep wear was far too large for her. Her red and grey plaid button-up shirt went to her mid-thighs and the sleeves near her knees. Her grey sweatpants were easily 4 sizes too big, the extra material gathering at her ankles as she shuffled from her room to the dinning area, making sure not the trip.

"I've bought you pajamas that fit. You can't possibly expect to take those with you." Said her father as she came into view.

"Oh, but I do plan on it. They're comfy."Said Karina as she sat across from her dad at the table. "My favorite show is on." She continued. "You've bothered me." Totum shot Karina a look, which she immediately understood and slouched into the dining chair.
"This is serious, 'Ina. I need you to listen." He said as he leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table. "When you get to Hogwarts you're going to hear things, names in particular, that you've never come across before. And you need to know what people are talking about and to stay safe." Totum looked at his daughter, who stared back at him, blankly and there was a moment of silence between them.

"Okay?" Karina managed. What kind of names would she possibly need to know? Where there other words for "wand" or something she though, doubtful.

"A little over ten years ago, Karina, there was a dark movement in England – no, Europe as a whole." Her fathers voice was low as he spoke. "A dark wizard was rising into power, and though he wasn't greatly feared in the United State, he was a large threat over seas. He killed... Many. Hundreds probably."

"Voldemort?" Karina chimed, looking bright. Totum's eyes widened and he leaned back into his seat.

"You know of him?" He asked.

"I go to school, Dad... He was kill by the Potter family. And all of his followers, Death Eaters right? Well they're in Azkaban now." Said Karina, her eyes narrowed, a smug look coming across her face.

"Wha-No!" Her father shouted, and his slammed his fists onto the table."What the hell are they teaching you?" He cried. Karina jumped at her fathers reaction.

"Okay okay, what then?" Karina asked.

"Voldemort killed the Potters, Karina! Only their son survived. He survived the killing curse – now he goes to Hogwarts. You'll be in the same year together. But the focus here is that Voldemort is not dead Karina. There are rumors of his return. And the Death Eaters were not caught. People lied their way through accusations. You need to be aware of this, Karina. You need to be aware of your surroundings and know which wizards and witches you should be around." Totum's dark eyes searched his daughter for understanding. Before she could reply, he added something. "There are 4 houses at Hogwarts. You're sorted into them based off characteristics. Ravenclaw, the house of intellectual and wise. Gryffindor the house of the courageous and braver. Hufflepuff is the house of the dedicated and loyale. And then there is Slytherin. Karina. Mark my words. Of all the dark wizards and witches that have come from Hogwarts, Slytherin is the lead."
"So avoid Slytherins?" Karina asked, her eyebrows arched. If Hogwarts was so dangerous and the darkest Wizard of the current age was coming back into power, why was she being carted over there?
