Elizabeth Windsor woke up in her family's house in Salem, Massachusetts. Today was the day that she and her parents were moving to England. She quickly got dressed and ran downstairs for breakfast. After a bowl of Lucky Charms, she hurried to finish her last minute packing. Just as she was closing her trunk, she heard her mom call her from downstairs.
"Alex, hurry up, we don't want to miss our flight!" Elizabeth's middle name was Alexandra, which she preferred, so her friends and family called her Alex. She carried her trunk down the stairs to where her parents were waiting. You could clearly see the resemblance between Alex and her parents. She had her father Edward's black hair, height, and thinness. She got her blue eyes and pale skin from her mother, Mary. She was also a witch, which she got from her father, a pureblood of lines as far back as the Malfoys, and just as wealthy. Mary and her entire family were Muggles, non-magical.
"All set?" her father asked, receiving a nod from everyone. "Good. Alex, grab Morgaine and we'll be off!" Morgaine was Alex's cat. She was pure black, no color otherwise, with violet eyes. Alex picked up her carrier and they drove to the airport. They only had to wait about fifteen minutes for their boarding call.
"Flight 715 to London will now begin boarding." The flight itself was boring with nothing to look at (unless you like the ocean) and nothing to do. When they arrived in London, they were immediately welcomed by Mary's family. Mary had moved to the United States from England and kept in touch with her brother, George Granger. So George, his wife Sarah, and his daughter Hermione were all waiting there at the gate.
Even though Alex and Hermione were direct cousins, you couldn't tell by looking at them. Alex had straight, waist-length black hair, while Hermione's brown hair only came halfway down her back in messy curls. Alex had blue eyes, Hermione had brown. Alex was 5'6", Hermione was only 5'2". The only thing they had in common was that they were 16, pencil thin, and had pale skin.
As they were all catching up with each other, Alex accidentally bumped into someone walking by. Not saying sorry, and not looking up, she was very surprised to hear a familiar cold voice.
"Miss Windsor, is it common for you to run over your teachers in foreign countries?" It was her teacher, Dueling Professor Daryl Black from the Salem Academic Institute of Magic. Also the teacher she had a huge crush on. She was so shocked to see him there that she could hardly speak. When she didn't speak, Professor Black raised one eyebrow impatiently. Finally, Alex found her voice.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize you were there. However, I would like to point out that it was you who nearly ran over me, not the other way around as you seem to think."
"I see. However, the fact remains that you did not say you were sorry until you knew who I was. Is this your usual courtesy towards others?"
"That depends on the person, Professor," replied Alex.
"Hm. I trust you will be more respectful to your new teacher this coming year?" he asked.
"What new teacher?" said Alex, acting like she wasn't changing schools.
"I will be teaching at Hogwarts from now on," Daryl informed her.
"Oh, didn't you know? I'm transferring to Hogwarts this year myself," she told him sweetly.
"Ah. Well then, I wonder what explanation Mr. Adams has for us."
"Adams? What's he got to do with anything?" asked Alex, disgusted at the mention of her rival.
"Plenty." That was a new voice to the conversation. It was Zachary Adams, Alex's biggest enemy. "As it happens, I'm changing to Hogwarts myself this year."
"Great," muttered Alex. "Well, if you two will excuse me, I need to get back to my family. I will see you at school." And with that, she turned back around to Hermione and the rest of her family.
Review please.
