When Life Turns to Hell
(Disclaimer: I do not own any of J.K. Rowling's characters, but any new characters that appear I have created. I hope you enjoy this story!)
Chapter 1
The Letter from Nowhere
My life wasn't always a living hell, but that's what preps and parents do. I was at one point a "perfect angel" until the real me began to appear at random times during the day. I was sent to every fucking mental institution because of my 'hallucinations' and 'pretend magic spells', that just... happened. That's when I found out that I was one of THEM, you know the weird magic people! That's when I felt the most complete...revenge would be so much easier!
I was only 12 when the doctor told my parents and me that I would never be 'normal'. She never told my parents why, but she explained it clearly and completely to me. I was born to muggle parents and I was of magic decent. My great, great grandfather was of the magic folk, but never revealed it to my great, great grandmother. I didn't know how to deal with this misfortune, but I learned quickly. I began buying old black magic spell books from every place that would sell them to a 12-year-old with out parental consent. This is where my story begins...
"Kelly, get your fucking ass down here!"
"I'm in the shower! Do you mind?!?!"
"You're going to miss the bus!"
"Oh well! I never wanna go to school anyway, so what is the difference?" Kelly mumbles to herself when she hears the bus beep at the end of her driveway.
"SHIT!" Kelly frantically throws her backpack on her back and sprint to the door.
"GREAT, the bus already left! Now what am I gonna do?"
Just then a barn owl slams into the back of her head with a piece of old parchment tied carefully to its leg. The bird lay dazed on the unpaved driveway, when Kelly decides to carefully untie the parchment; it instantly jumps up and starts twittering. Kelly screams, but only for a split second, realizing that the barn owl meant no harm to her.
"So, whatcha got there little birdie?" Kelly huffed trying to catch her breath, but the bird only twittered in its response to her question. Finally the owl calms down just enough so Kelly can remove the parchment. Once Kelly opens it she discovers that it was a letter. But from whom she did not know. This is what the letter said:
To whom this may concern,
I am proud to welcome you to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Then Kelly eagerly read on to find that it had a list of things that she would need before she could attend.
You will need:
Parchment
Quills
Ink bottles
An owl/ cat/ frog or a creature of your desire
A caldron
Robes
Kelly looks at the letter and ponders aloud.
"Why would they want me to have Robes? Must be a magical thing."
The list continued until she read the unfamiliar signature at the bottom.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
"Alba- who-a- dore?"
Kelly throws the crumpled parchment on the ground.
"Wonder why that was sent to me? Probably a fucking scam like those 'free' vacations!"
Kelly returns to her deserted house and flops hard on the sofa in her living room. As she picks up the TV remote, she remembers the parchment letter that she just left on the driveway.
"Shit! If my parents find out that I'm a ...I'm a...a witch they'll put me into a psycho institute!"
So Kelly races outside to retrieve the letter, pockets it and races back into the house before the neighbors even realize her existence.
