Chapter 2- YES

Chapter 2- YES! We finally meet my characters!

Lorencha sat up in bed, happily listening to her mother telling about Lorencha's dad's reaction when he found out Lorencha's mom was a witch.

"His eyes got big, and he ran out, into the town yelling, 'Get a lot of wood, we're going to need a big fire!"

Lorencha giggled. Although she was 15, she still loved her mother's bed time stories.

"Finally, I managed to zap some sense into him, and with a few memory charms and a few good lies, the town went back to normal." She kissed Lorencha, and went to turn out the lights.

"Honey, don't be be scared, you'll do fine at Hogwarts."

"Thanks Mom. 'night."

"'night dear"

Lorencha lay in bed, thinking. Although she was very excited at the thought of going to Hogwarts, she'd miss her little village's school. (The ministry of magic deemed it unnecessary after Melinda moved, leaving Lorencha as the sole student.)

She got out of bed, turned off the light, and looked in the mirror.

Lorencha was a short, dumpy sort of girl, with (as her mother called it), strawberry dirty-blond hair, and hazel eyes.

She reached for her wand, Flobberworm dung and frog spawn in dogwood.

The wand store owner, Mr. Albert Dumbledore, had been completely shocked when she had gotten her wand. He always gave his customers a "joke wand", one made up of the most bizarre magical elements he could think of. In his nearly 80 years of experience, nobody ever got the joke wand. Lorencha was the exception that proved the rule.

She put some bubotuber's pus on her face, turned out the light and went to sleep.

Across an ocean, and a country, Maria Ardeneze was also looking in a mirror.

Maria had long, silky black hair that reached her waist, and dark brown eyes. She had a super model's body, though she was only 15.

She was practicing dueling movements with her twelve inch, holly, dragon scale and Phoenix feather wand.

Mr. Ollivender said it was the most powerful wand he had ever sold, apart from Harry Potter's and Lord Voldemort's.

Maria grinned. At last she would meet the boy who had become her hero the second she'd heard about him.

"Tomorrow." she said happily as she crawled into bed with her younger sister. "Tomorrow at Hogwarts."
