Hello everyone!
Guess what! I have actually re written the first chapter of this story! **Gasps in shock**
I know its been months, and i have a tonne of excuses, but at the moment, I am currently bed ridden as I have just had my appendix out and am currently recovering!
Now, a few notes. I have re read the original of this story and absolutely hate the first few chapters! i have no idea what I was on when I wrote them, but I am completely revamping the first few chapters and changing the way things are done!
You'll notice that I've take out large chunks and completely moved things around. I've made it so that both worlds are actually melded together a bit better rather than just clashing them together and trying to make it fit. I quite like what i've done so far.
Below you'll find a teaser of the first chapter. Its not the WHOLE first chapter, just a SNIPPET of the first chapter. So please leave me your HONEST opinion on whether you like this new redone teaser.
I've also left a few hidden clues for future references in the first chapter as well so let me know if you find them and msg me what you think :)
I am posting it here and once I finish the complete revamp of the first few chapters, this story will get reposted as a new story and I will recommend my readers and followers to go and check out and follow that one as I will be deleting this one after a while :)
Without further adieu...
enjoy Xx

Chapter 1
Usagi Serenity Tsukino is a half Japanese, half English fourteen year old teenage girl. Her father is a Japanese Politician who has just spent the past year in Australia with his family living in Australia, working as a Japanese Ambassador. Usagi's mother, Ilene Tsukino, on the other hand, was from an aristocrat upper-class family in England. Her mother's parents died before Usagi was born and her only living relative is her older brother, who works as a chemistry professor at a prestigious high school in Scotland. So Usagi's Mother only gets to see her brother when he comes to visit the family when it is between the school years. Because it is the modern day and age, her mother has left her aristocrat upbringing in the past, and lives as a stay at home mother, looking after the family and attending social dinners and parties with her husband when his job requires it. Usagi was a perfect mix of the two parents. Her facial and body shape were clearly of Japanese origin, however, her skin complexion was the same as her mother's beautiful white porcelain skin, her long blonde hair she received form her grandmother, and large bright crystal blue eyes were her own.
The young girl with long blonde hair tied into two messy buns on either side of her head, placed the last of her possessions into another huge packing box to be shipped back to Japan. Running a hand through her bangs, she stood up and observed her room to see what else there was to do. All that was left in the bedroom was a comfortable double bed with a mountain of clean clothes dumped on top waiting to be packed neatly into a suitcase. Tomorrow, the movers would be coming to take all the furniture away from the house. What items that her parents couldn't sell, were being donated to charity to help the less unfortunate. The young fourteen year old decided that to lessen the load and amount she had to pack; she would donate most of her clothes to charity as well. A lot of the clothes that made up the mountain on her bed didn't fit anymore, or were becoming too small as her childlike body starting going through the normal changes every girl her age experiences when going through puberty. Usagi picked up her clothes and starting inspecting them and putting them into piles. One pile to get rid of, one pile to keep, and the other pile were because she was unsure. As she lifted up a pastel pink sweater, she heard a tapping sound. Looking around, she spied where the noise was coming from. There sitting on the ledge of her bedroom window was a small snowy white owl with small black flecks patterned across its face, tapping at the window holding an envelope in its beak. "What the hell?" Usagi asked herself as she placed the sweater down and made her way over to her window and opened it. The small owl flew in dropped an envelope on Usagi's bed and flew straight back out. Usagi shook her head and walked back to her bed. She picked up the envelope and looked at it. It was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment. It was addressed to her in bright emerald green that sparkled in the sunlight streaming in through the window. It had no stamp, how odd she thought as she read the address.

After reading the address, Usagi turned the letter over and looked to see who it was from. On the back was a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounding the large letter 'H'. Curiosity getting the better of her, Usagi opened the envelope and pulled out the letter that was inside and read it.

"Bahahaha! What a joke! Does this person think I'm some kind of idiot?" Usagi laughed her head off as she wiped her eyes. "Some nutter has definitely lost their mind!" In the midst of her laughing fit, Ilene walked into the open doorway and looked at her child laughing away on her bed. "What is so funny Bunny that has you this worked up?" She asked walking over to her daughter's bed. "Oh Mama, someone's tried to play a hilarious joke on me!" Usagi choked out between laughs. "A little owl bought me a letter that says I've been accepted into some magical school to become a witch!" While her daughter continued to laugh like a maniac and proceeded to fall onto the floor and roll around, Ilene's eyes widened and quickly grabbed the letter and read it, a worried expression fell across her face. Quickly masking it, she put on a fake smile and laughs. "You're right Bunny, it is a funny joke, I'll hold onto the letter and show your Dad latter tonight when he comes home."
And there we have it!
