Chapter 1

A small tawny barn owl swooped in through the arched window.

"Straunde, yet another owl has arrived for you," Maverick

commented sarcastically, while polishing her wand.

"OH MY! Only four today? You must feel sooo unpopular," Calixte rolled

her dark intriguing eyes.

Calixte and Maverick had known each other for longer than they

could remember. Calixte had striking, curly black hair, and dark

eyes that could kill. Maverick had deep bluish green eyes that

changed back and forth constantly. Her flowing, coffee-brown

hair fell straight on her back. They had lived in a small duplex

located in the wizarding town of Paracombe with their mothers for

all their lives. Paracombe was located near the muggle city of Richmond, Virginia in America. Their fathers had died mysteriously when

Calixte and Maverick were around the age of two years old.

Straunde was perfect in every way. She was the type of person

every girl dreamed to be, and every guy dreamed to be with. Her

long, wavy blonde hair accentuated her sparkling, blue eyes.

Straunde had moved to Paracombe two years ago from the outskirts

of Hogsmeade, the wizarding town connected to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, her former school.

Straunde grinned and tore the letter open. She skimmed over the

contents and a wistful look came across her face.

"It's from.Sebas," she sighed dreamily.

Calixte and Maverick exchanged a sarcastic look. Suddenly, three more owls

flew into the window each dropping a letter in the girls' laps.

"A letter.for me?" Calixte held the letter astonished.

"People like me?" Maverick joked.

They tore open their letters excitedly and both burst into

laughter at the same time, as they saw their familiar school

crescent in the top right-hand corner.

The crescent for Mylor Academy of Magic, was a shield divided into five squares. Each

contained the First letter of a Link, with their colors, and

the animal representing it inside. The Links were groups that the students were placed into when they first arrived at Mylor. One stayed with

this group all seven years of their education. The five Links

all had their own dormitories and common rooms. First came the

Kana Link, where the power-hungry leaders often resided. The

colors black and red, and the ferocious bull represented them.

Second came the Baldasarre Link, where the brave and true at

heart dwelled. The colors blue and gold and the hawk represented

them. Third came the Dopps Link, where the loyal, hard- working

students resided. They were represented by the colors yellow and

brown, and the wild boar. Fourth came the Aislin Link, where the

dreamers and thinkers dwelled. The colors violet and silver, and

the mystical unicorn represented them. Fifth came the Selah

Link, where the clever and quick- witted resided, they were

represented by the colors green and white, and the fox.

"Damn, and I though I got a real letter" Maverick grinned.

Calixte studied her letter carefully, reviewing her list of

classes. She read aloud, "Lets see.this year I've got Charms

with Professor Turkell, Potions with Odesa, Divinations with

Galata."

"Eww you've got Gaylata?" Maverick cringed.

"You probably have her too. As I was saying.Herbology with

Camrose."

"Mmmmm Camrose," Maverick smiled lustingly.

Calixte chucked her pillow and hit Maverick square in the face,

sending her tumbling backwards onto the floor.

She loudly cleared her throat and continued reading, " Transfiguration

with Belarus, Musical Studies with Potosi, Dueling with

Teresina, Defense Against the Dark Arts with Tembria, and

Magical Athletiscism with Bantry."

Straunde walked over to Maverick and pulled her up.

"Thanks, STRAUNDE. I'm glad I have ONE friend," Maverick snapped as she

glared at Calixte.

Calixte grinned innocently and asked, "Who do y'all

have this year?

Maverick answered, "Same as you.exactly. Great, I'm

stuck with you for the FIFTH year in a row. Next year we are so

signing up for different classes."

"You know you'd miss me too much," Calixte retorted.

"So, Straunde," Maverick asked, "Who do you have this

year?"

Straunde whipped out her letter and read off, "Same as

you guys except I'm not taking Divination or Musical Studies. I have

Healing with Professor Callan and Muggle Studies with Gaziler."

Maverick and Calixte nodded vaguely while Straunde sat with a bored

look on her face.

"Let's go to that muggle town you guys like. What was it called, Fairyville?" Straunde suggested.

Maverick and Calixte burst into giggles and answered, "Yes Straunde,

let's go to 'Fairyville.' "

The two grinned at each other but did not bother

to correct Straunde.

The three girls streaked down the stairs.

"We're going to Carytown, be back later!" Maverick

screamed into the general direction of the kitchen, where their

mothers were sure to be. The girls burst out the front door while the

faint call of "Wait a minute young ladies, when is later?!" trailed

behind them.

They ran until they reached

Brighton, the "downtown" street of their wizarding town. Breathing

heavily, Calixte looked around at the familiar surroundings. The

quaint buildings resembled something very much like an Old Western

muggle town. She glanced over at the local pub and game hall, Lucky's,

which was a common teenage hangout. The bank, Paracombe Trust, looked

remarkably like The White House, the building where the muggle

president resided. It was a local branch of the wizarding bank, Gringotts, and was also run by goblins. Madam Rosalina's Silks, was decorated with pink and

white lace, which she saw Straunde eyeing with interest. It was the neighborhood center for fashion. The rest of the

buildings were old fashioned and out of date with the current times.

She smiled and thought about how much she loved this town.

"Where is that damned portkey?!" Maverick

muttered angrily, interrupting Calixte's train of thought, "They

change it every freaking day."

Straunde casually pointed over to an old

antique desk, sitting in a back ally.

"Is that it?" she asked innocently. Maverick

and Calixte both stared at her in wonder.

"How did you know that?" Calixte ask baffled,

"Last time it was over there, by Paracombe Trust, so how were we

supposed to know?"

Straunde shrugged and strolled over to the desk.

They all casually placed their hands on it, and felt a sudden jerking

motion pulling at their navels. The three girls landed with a thud

next to a beat up blue Chevy truck, in a deserted parking lot.

"Welcome to 'Fairyville' my friends, " Maverick grinned maliciously.
