Chapter 1:

When officer Pete and Jayne walked up the steps of the orphanage, she knew the consequences would be dire. After the officer knocked, an elderly nun opened the door. She looked disappointed.

Jayne stared at her feet," Hello sister Maria."

The woman sighed and looked away. " Officer, I am so sorry for Jayne's behavior. What did she do?"

" Nothing major, just got involved with some rowdy boys. The owner says he won't press charges, but advises to stop stealing prune juice."

The sister felt relived," Thank you officer, this won't happen again." With a tip of his hat, the officer walked away.

Once the door closed the, sister Maria walked away, expecting Jayne to follow. Silence filled the halls as the two walked by. Then they sopped in-front of the library. " Sister Maria? Can I explain?''

" Jayne, I am not mad. However, I recommend you not be involved with anything dangerous again." Jayne nodded, acknowledging her actions.

However, there was still one thing trickling in her mind. " Sister Maria, have you ever had anything, peculiar happen recently, or ever?"

The elder looked at her pupil in confusion," What do you mean?"

Jayne didn't know how to explain what happened in the ally, so she responded with a simple 'nevermind,' and walked away.

The week had passed, and the atmosphere seemed to continue being peculiar. A few days after the first incident, Jayne was in the garden with her walk-man, grabbing some vegetables for dinner when a man started walking up the steps of the building. He had long dark hair, wore a dark suit, and had a very bitter expression on his face. She couldn't help but notice that in his coat, that he had a odd wooden object in his pocket. Broken from her trance, something hit Jayne in the head. When she saw what it was, it was a tiny red ball.

She rolled her eyes, and continued working. Unfortunatly the same thing happen again. When she looked over, she rolled her eyes again. It was one of her fellow roommates Karen. She was the oldest orphan at the orphanage. Her black grimy hair went down past her ears, and had eyes as dry as soil. " Hey Copper, what'ca digging for?"

She rolled her eyes again. " You know Karen, thinking your funny isn't the same has being a comedian. It's quit sad you can't see the difference."
Karen gave an annoyed chuckle," Shows what you know Copper."

" What do you want? Your distracting me from my chores and time with Paul."

" Well, I just wanted to see if you were still here."
Jayne was confused," Why would you think I was gone?"

The older girl laughed," I wasn't sure, thinking that you might possible be in locked up."

" Well, still here. It's probably going to be that way for awhile, unless I get adopted."

" Ha! As if anyone would adopt you! NO wonder your parents left you at the doorstep; they probably couldn't stand your face."

This was the breaking point. Jayne could only see red. However, the next thing to happen was astounding. Without any notice, Karen's hair started to smoke, and then bursted into flames.

Before anyone could process what was happening, Sister Maria came out with a fire extinguisher. Karen had little to no hair left. When she realized this, she ran inside, crying.

" Jayne!" The girl looked up with a sheepish grin. " What happened?"

" Um... Sister Maria. I really don't know.

It had been a few hours since the accident. Jayne was sitting on her bed, listening to music to distract herself. She was worried about her punishment. The problem was, she didn't know how the flames started.

Breaking her trance, the door opened revealing Sister Maria. " Jayne, can you please follow me? You have a special visitor." Visitor? Who would want to visit me besides the Police? Jayne got up and followed the Sister down the halls to the library. When the door opened, the same man she saw earlier was sitting in the chair closest to the fire. He looked more grim close up than far away. " This is Mr. McNulty, and he has a proposition. Mr. McNulty, this is Jayne Walker."

He stood up and held his hand out," Pleasure to meet you Miss Walker." Something about that voice was not right.

Sister Maria smiled," Well, I will let you two talk in private." She quietly closed the door on her way out.

" So Miss Silver, I have a few questions for you if that wouldn't be a problem."

She studied him, and gave a smirk," I think I wont have a problem once you drop your fake American accent and give me your real name."

He barley raised his eyebrow, and studied her. " Very well," he said in his normal British accent," I am Severus Snape. I am a professor at Hogwarts school of Wizardry and Witchcraft. You, have been accepted to this school, but the choice is yours to attend or not. However, it is highly recommended," he said that last part with a sneer.

Jayne started laughing." Oh, this is good! So, you must be one of those crazy people who wants to adopt for some weird stuff or something! Well, not falling for it. Good day sir, hope you have better luck next time." As she started walking away, the fireplace started to dim. Right before she was next to it, the flames started to fly out and surround her into the room, and promptly returned to the fireplace. " What just happened?!"She turned around, an saw Snape holding a long stick. " Did, did you do that?"

He nodded," Almost similar to the incident early this morning."

" How did you-"

" And like the time in the ally with the boys suddenly up in the sky, or when you turned the goldfish into real gold."

She stared at him dumbfound," How do you know all this?"

He gave her a cold look," You, Miss Silver, are a witch. However, the real question is why you got accepted to Hogwarts?"

" I don't understand."

" Hogwarts is where the muggles call England."

" Is that a problem?"

" It would only be a problem if you were the first American to attend this school. It would be a problem if you aren't eligible to attend Illvermorny Wizarding school of America, than no."

Jayne gave him a dirty look. " You could've just said it's unusual, or unorthodox instead of being condescending."

" Miss Silver, as your future teacher, I highly recommend that you do not sass me."

" Who said I was going?"

Snape snickered," Your face. Just the thought of leaving this place, starting a new life, seems better. Even if you are a witch, you would rather be somewhere away from here."

Jayne looked at the floor, trying to pretend he was wrong. " If I did leave, would everyone forget about me here?"

" Only if you want them to."

She looked outside. The tree that sat in the garden had a little bluebird fly out, and towards the window. It seemed to stare at her, telling her what to choose. She then looked at her teacher," When do I start packing?"

A.N.
