I am Meredith Rachel Glade. I am married to a wonderful man, Samuel Arthur Glade. We have three daughters, Kaitlyn Marie Glade, Madison Lee Glade, and Kylie Allyson Glade. We live in a nicely sized house in a suburb right outside of London. My husband is a lawyer therefore, he can provide a comfortable income that lets us live quite nicely. I love my family to pieces but I am afraid.
One night three years ago, a very strange man turned up at my door a little girl holding his hand. The man was wearing a dress with an extravagant robe over it. He had a long silvery hair with a beard to math. His blue eyes bright as the sky on a sunny day were shielded by half moon shaped glasses. The little girl had very long hair, black as midnight. She had the most beautiful violet eyes I had ever seen. She looked to be around seven or eight.
The man introduced himself as Albus Dumbledore and the girl Katy Riddle. He said she was in need of a foster home. I had just taken in another girl, Madison Macnair so I figured, why not. This man, Albus, altered her appearance by turning her hair auburn and her eyes green. He told the little girl to stay in the kitchen while he asked for a private word with me in the living room. I of course, obliged.
Once inside the room the man locked the door using some form of Latin and a wooden stick. He told me of the strangest things. Another world he had mentioned, a wizarding world. This girl he had brought to me was a witch, just like the other one, Madison. He explained the girl was in grave danger because she was the daughter of Lord Voldemort. Albus explained he was changing her appearance and name, from Katy to Kaitlyn, to keep her safe. He did not want Voldemort knowing where she was.
Now, I am a reasonable woman with a kind heart, this news scared me. I was supposedly going to protect this child from extreme evils? I didn't think so. And I let that Albus character know it. I told him I didn't want my family endangered by this man, Voldemort. Albus calmly explained nothing was going to happen but I wasn't so sure. Being the nice woman I was I agreed to keep the child.
I raised Kaitlyn and Madison as if they were my biological children like Kylie. They knew they were adopted of course, and so did Kylie, but the three of the them got along famously. They were so wonderful to each other. They were inseparable. The girls attended Kylie's public school and were for the most part perfect in behavior and academics.
The two did show signs of witchcraft. When Madison was nine she got into a fight with this one girl, Laura something. Madison was so angry she lit Laura's head on fire. Thankfully, the only harm was some burnt hair. No one else knew what had really happened. Madison was punished because no one else knew of witchcraft. Kaitlyn's first sign was when she was ten. The teacher she had was starting to annoy her. Mrs. Amyhog, I believe her name was. Mrs. Amyhog was very strict, she was always yelling at the children for the littlest things. One day, she was yelling and Kaitlyn had had enough. Kaitlyn managed to levitate the woman onto the roof of the school.
Those weren't the only signs of magic. Small things occurred around the house. The girls didn't think I noticed but I did. Random pieces of food would come flying out of the refrigerator when Madison was hungry. Whenever Kaitlyn wanted to watch television it would just turn on without her doing anything. There were other things too, things that the girls didn't control.
Sam and I knew these things would start happening but what we didn't know was that Kylie would possess magic too. I doubt whether Kylie knew or not but she was starting to make things happen as well. They weren't big incidents like the twins, (Madison and Kaitlyn were told to be twins by Dumbledore) just small occurrences that Kylie and the girls didn't even notice.
When Dumbledore came to deliver the girl's letters I was heartbroken to have to leave them. Kaitlyn and Madison were part of the family and I did not want to send them off to boarding school. Dumbledore warned me that once in the school the girls would be in even more danger of Voldemort than when they were little. I was afraid for them of course but I was more afraid for Kylie. Dumbledore also mentioned he knew about Kylie which meant she would be attending the school next year.
Kylie, my little one, who had no idea she had power, was going to be in danger of this dark lord too. I was also afraid for myself. Albus told me that there was a slight chance Voldemort might find out that I was the one who took in Kaitlyn and raised her. But for now I worry for the girl's safety in this "school".
(A/n the reason for this chapter was just to get some background information on Kaitlyn/Katy. I hope it makes things a bit more clear.)
