chapter 1

I remember when I first saw a wesen, I was 5 I didn't know what to think. When I motioned what I saw to my aunt and uncle they accused me of being carzy and sent my brother and myself to our cupboard. I had asked my older later that night if you saw what I saw too cause he was right next to me when I saw it, he said he did not see it. They treated me like I was crazy since then, it put a real strain om my relationship with harry

After a few years when I was 8 I learned not to talk about what I saw people turn in to. But when ever I saw people turn and they saw me they would either get very mad or very scared, and I don't know why. I was at school one day and my teacher faced changed into what look like a beaver and when she saw me her face changed back to normal very quickly and she had a scared look on her face, and the next day I was in a classroom with a different teacher.

When I was ten my brother harry started to get letters from a mysterious sender, aunt and uncle would not let him read the letter. After awhile more and more letters started to come and uncle Vernon went mad and we ended up in a hut on a rock in the middle of the sea. It was midnight when we heard the banging from outside the door, and the next thing we know the door flew of it hinges. The next morning the giant man took harry away for the very first time and I knew that my brother would forever be changed from this experience.

Over the year harry never sent me a letter or anything, I would have written him but I didn't know how to send him a letter. When he returned all he would talk about was how much fun he had and his new friends Hermione and Ron.

When I was eleven I went to hogworts for the first time. I knew I would never forget the beauty of the castle when I first saw it. I was sorted into ravenclaw. Most people who tried being friends with me just wanted to get close to harry so I didn't have many friends though out my time at hogworts.

I was twelve when I found out what I was and why I could see peoples faces change. Professor Lupin told me, he said it was a potter family trait and he had expected harry to have it and not me. He said I was a Grimm and he enplaned to me how the potters were different then most other Grimm family's, he also said that there was a vault at Gringotts for the next Grimm in the family and told me to see the goblins over the summer about it.

That summer the goblins gave me access to the vault. It had a bunch of different potion, weapons, and books. It also had journals from previous Grimm's in the family explaining everything. There was also a couple portraits in the vault of a couple previous Grimm's. They were happy that there was finally another Grimm in the family. There hadn't been a Grimm in the family for at least three generations.

When I was fourteen the man who killed my parents came back to life and the the next war started. Over the next couple year the wizarding world started to get darker. And harry changed even more, he started to be quicker to anger and his head hurt quite a bit.

When I was sixteen the war ended and the wizarding world started to rebuild. The final battle took a lot from a lot of people. I couldn't move past that final year of horror so when I turned eighteen I deiced to move to America.

"Put the couch against that wall there please" I asked the delivery guy.

I had just moved into a small flat above a shop I bought. I'm gonna open a coffee shop/ bakery type of place. After the war I couldn't handle how the wizarding world was, I know they are rebuilding but everything and everyone was changed by the war. So I packed up my measly belongings and had Gringotts move my vaults to the closest branch and headed to Portland organ.

"Where would you like the bed in this room" one of the delivery men asked me

" Up against that wall, and I would like the desk there" I said point to two different walls.

I had movers putting furniture where it needs to go and I had some guys down in the shop painting it. Opening day is in two weeks so I had a lot to do to get settled here and for the opening.

I found this shop really cheap apparently nobody wanted it, I don't know why. It had a large window in the front good sized room I turned into a kitchen and another room a little larger I turned into the dining area, and another room off the room I turned into a kitchen which I turned into a office. The flat was only a one bedroom with a small living room and kitchen, and small bathroom. But it was the perfect size just for me. I had painted the living room a nice off white color and the bedroom a nice rose pink and the bathroom blue and kitchen yellow. The shop downstairs is getting paint mixture of blue, yellow, silver, and gold. I'm calling the shop potion's brew and bakery.

After a few hours then men were finally done moving things and painting, I sat down with a sandwich and started to plan my menu for the restaurant. I planned what type of baked goods there will be plus a few lunch things like sandwich and some specialty coffees. I didn't take long to plan since I already had a idea beforehand about what I was gonna put on the menu.

The day before the opening I had everything prepped and ready for the next day, I decided to explore Portland a little bit. I hadn't been out much since I got to Portland cause I was busy with the shop and settling to the flat. I went to the Lan Su Chinese garden, to the grotto, and the Portland art museum. After doing a few muggle attractions I went to mystic alley which was right outside of Portland.

Mystic alley was wonderful. It was way more modern then diagon alley, they even sold muggle things there. Most people I saw at the alley was wearing muggle cloths. The clothing shop sold robes and muggle items. The stationary shop sold quills and parchment but also pens, pencils, and notebooks and things. And there was a awesome potions shop and apothecary in the alley it had a more wider variety then in diagon. It seemed that America wizarding world had a better way of blending in with the muggles then British wizarding world.

When I was walking though the alley I accendtly ran into to a witch.

"I am so sorry I wasn't watching were I was going."

"It alright, im maria."

"Willow" I replied.

"Your british"

"Yes I recently moved here."

"You must find mystic different then the alley at home huh?"

"Yeah diagon doesnt really sell muggle item."

"Oh."

I looked down at my watch and saw it was alomost eight in the evening.

"I must be going, it was nice to meet you maria."

"Nice meeting you too willow"

after that i went back to my flat.
