Twisted Fates
Chapter 1 - And so it begins.
So, you have decided to open the door. Good, I knew that you were ready, I could tell from that look in your eyes. Now, the true story begins. Behold, the light, the story, the tale, it's waiting for you. Just step into it now.
Once upon a time.
A girl with dark brown hair ran down the halls of the school. Where am I? she wondered. A moment later she realized and breathed one word. Hogwarts
At this very moment on the other side (well maybe not exactly, but close enough) of the earth, a girl laid awake in bed. Her swift black hair fell around her shoulders as she walked up from the room and onto the balcony. She looked on with her dull black eyes as if hoping for something. Then she muttered one word as something swooped down in the dead of the night. Hogwarts
Yes, the scenes have changed again now. We are now in the bedroom of a blond girl this time. Her bright blue eyes shone with excitement until she spotted something out her windows. The dark night revealed a light brown owl flying down. She gasped. Then, the mark was clear again. There on the letter the owl had. She grasped it tightly as she thought of only one thing. Hogwarts

Going back to the first girl, the one with the dark brown hair. You do remember her don't you? Good, now, the story truly begins.
The girl sat up in bed, beads of sweat were on her forehead. Yes, it was unmistakable. She had been in Hogwarts in her dream. But, why. Was is a sign that she must go back instead of running like she had planned? She did not know. A second later, a light brown owl swooped down to the window tapping it softly. The girl walked over and took the letter. The owl was beautiful, a light brown color with dark brown spots on it's fur. After getting a treat, the owl flew away. Disappearing into the blinding moonlight. The girl took one look at the letter and knew that her dream was indeed a sign. Hadn't she already told Dumboldore that she didn't want to return? Hadn't he say it was ok? The mark on the letter was the mark of Hogwarts. She opened the letter in haste causing a red drop of blood to fall from her fingers where the paper had cut it. She was too anxious to notice however. She had an urge to rip open the letter but fought against it and took care with the envelope. The long piece of paper unrolled from inside the envelope and the girl looked at it. Her dark cinnamon eyes flashed as she read it quickly. Then, she sat down on the bed trying to comprehend what the letter had stated.

The second girl. Yes, the one with the black hair and dull eyes. Her. We are back there now. Do you see her? Can you tell her charm? The way she moves, the way her hair swings from side to side so swiftly.
The girl looked up muttering under her breath. She was now in America. She was visiting her cousin in California. A cousin who had no idea she posses magic. All the same, the owl had found her. It was a furry little thing, a brown owl, and it also had dark brown spots on it. She took out a owl treat in her pocket and gave it to the furry owl as it gave her the letter. Almost immediately, the owl flew away. Ah. Hogwarts. The only place where it's truly safe the girl thought. She gave a sudden shudder as she remembered the things that had happened the past year. The ball, she was at the Christmas ball, and she was with someone who was in danger every moment of his life. She knew what that felt like. She knew the pain, the loneliness, and the fright that someone you loved might get hurt. Yes, someone she loved did get hurt. The champion from Hogwarts. You've guessed it. Cedric.
The girl had a small grin as she thought of him. Now, her thoughts went back to the warning she had predicted. The warning the seer had told her. With a sigh. She gave up, still unable to figure out the warning's meaning.
The girl walked away and dropped a piece of crumpled paper on the balcony as she slipped into the room gracefully with the letter.
Cho Chang Your Fortune is clear
You are destined for greatness. Yet you are afraid. I cannot tell you to take the fear away. For more fear lies ahead. Just remember this word of warning.

Can you read that? No. I didn't think so. It's in the old language. Barely anyone knew how to speak the old language. There are only three people at Hogwarts that can speak it. Well, have you guessed who they are yet? The three girls in this story. They can speak it.
Do not fear though, for soon enough you will find out it's meaning too . . .
**** 3 ****
Have you figured out that puzzle yet? No worries. You can go back to it later. Now, we must move on to the last girl. The one with blond hair. Her eyes shining. Now, from what you know, from year five, you probably think she's a wretched girl. but then again, looks have always been deceiving.
The blond sneered at the owl and said Shoo! But then, her looks softened and gave it a treat before sending it off. The light brown owl flew away in the other direction and it's dark brown spots stood out in the light. The blond girl's expression softened as she looked at the letter the owl had dropped on the floor. She picked it up staring at it and wondering what it was doing there so early. It wasn't time to go back now was it? After what she had done last year, she doubt many people would still like her. She sank to the ground and in the corner, you could see a glimpse of a small girl scared and afraid. But then, just as you see that small flicker of hope, the girl gets up, her face holding a dark expression. She opened the letter half expecting it to be some kind of a curse or maybe telling her that she was now expelled. She tried to open the letter carefully. Oh, to hell with it she thought after fidgeting with the letter for a few minutes. She ripped apart the envelope viciously but was also careful so that she could not destroy its contents. After skimming at the letter, her eyes widened. The letter fell to the floor as she put a hand around her face to stop herself from screaming.
Would the scream have been in delight or in horror?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Author's Notes:
How is chapter 1? The horrors, the secrets, the owl. What do they have in common? And just who are those three girls. I'm sure you've guessed the middle one by now after seeing that note. I tried to stop you but no, you just had to read it. It might have been just as well. You would have found out sooner or later. If this story has scared you so much just in this first chapter. I would suggest you close this window and move on to read about more happy things. But if you find it intriguing and hopes to learn more. Then wait a little and keep it in your sight because the next chapter is even more horrible then this.
Now I leave you with this decision.
"Is it the end of the beginning?" or "The beginning of the end?"
