THE RELUCTANT SLYTHERIN
Chapter 1: The letter
To Tory life could not be any better then this. She was currently living in Hawaii, Kaunakakai to be exact but she attends a school on Molokai called, "The Hawaiian Academy of Magic," It originally was for Hawaiians only but recently have opened their doors for other pacific islanders with magical abilities including those of Samoa, New Zealand, and Tahiti. And because it was mixed with Muggles (since it is a small island) they have the latest in Muggle technology and without knowledge to the Muggle world the extinct native Hawaiian animals still exist but hidden in magical reserves the Hawaiian Ministry of Magic has set up for them. It is the Academy (which is also a university)'s job to make sure that it is well protected from Muggles and other wizards. For Tory Kahalewai a sixth year at the Academy life was normal for her. She would go to school and then home for she was a resident. For those who are not residents there are dorms where they could live in. Since it was so diverse in ethnicity giving Hawaii's status many groups are mixed blood such in the case of Tory who is Hawaiian, Japanese. Her deeply tanned skin and long curly hair gone wild and untamed made her look exotic. She has a well muscled figure but slightly big in the feet, stomach, and chest. She may not look like much given her tomboyish appearance but she proved that she was willing to work hard thus earning her, her muscles.
It was mid summer nearing the end of July and Tory was busy cleaning fish with her uncle and father. Since she came from a Muggle background her father and mother were both Muggles. She loves to listen to music and is constantly seen with a CD player or her laptop computer (she is kind of a geek) as well. She likes martial arts and takes it at school with her classmates and her familiar.
That's right her familiar.
You see Tory has a familiar whose name is Kama and he is a Pueo the native Hawaiian owl. Pueo's are dark faced unlike most owls that are lighter in the face. He has dark and light feathers but unlike ordinary owls Pueo's are both day and night hunters, and they not only hunt mice but birds as well. Being as he is a wizarding Pueo that makes him highly intelligent and easy to train as a post owl. Tory had never used Kama as a post owl before being that Hawaii is in the middle of the ocean but Kama flew across it using the jet stream. It is a strong wind that blows from east to west and if Kama wants to come home he hitchhikes on a plane and fly out just as the landing gear goes down.
With the outdoorsy kind of atmosphere the Hawaiian Academy of Magic was really comfortable and adjusted its temperatures according to the season and the weather. It was during a hot day in summer that Tory received her letter. She had signed up for an exchange program with another foreign school and she had just got a response. Since the Hawaiian Academy teaches magic without the use of a wand Tory was quiet surprised when the letter came from her principal. Who was accompanied by another letter with weird green writing and a symbol or crest of another school.
Dear Ms. Kahalewai
You have been accepted into the foreign exchange program and have been assigned to the United Kingdom. We regret to inform you that you will be going alone as your fellow exchange students are going to attend another Academy in Tokyo and the mainland United States. You are allowed at this time to bring whatever you deemed necessary such as your familiar. Your passport and acceptance letter is already with you as they accompanied this letter. It also contains you school supply list and who are you supposed to meet when you reach London. Remember Ms. Kahalewai you are expected to behave accordingly as you represent our school.
Sincerely,
Professor Keali'I Alexander Hamakua
Headmaster of The Hawaiian Academy of Magic
Tory could not believe her eyes when she read the letter and screamed for joy. Her father was happy but could not hug her for he was covered in blood and fish guts and her uncle was the same. "Mom, mommy!" Tory screamed as she ran into the house to tell her mother. It was a run down house that had seen better days even when the dust would not go away.
Tory's mother was preparing dinner with her little brother who was only five years old. Tory's mother smiled when she showed her the letter but scowled at her appearance, "Tory Kahalewai! How many times must I tell you about running around in the house smelling like a fish!" she scolded and Tory blushed, "Now young lady you are to go get cleaned up for dinner will be served shortly. Tory nodded and ran into the bathroom after grabbing her clothes for a shower just as her father came back in with the cleaned fish and Tory's mother began to fry some and flay others for dinner.
Tory quickly gotten cleaned up and ran out to join her family for dinner when her mother told her father about the letter. "England eh? You are the only local going there too many stuck up haoles (Whites)," he said, "Ah dad don't be like that I mean it is a wizarding school how bad can it be?" she asked, "Well according to what I heard from a few wizarding friends of mine that place is as backward as one might think and they don't have computers," said her uncle and cousin (who also goes to the academy). "The foreign exchange program?" Chrisanna Matoyoshi said as she peered over, "To England? Damn girl you are going far," she said, "Yea and I leave by next month," Tory said, "What is this about a wand?" Chris said, "Well according to the letter the principal sent me this school teaches wand magic," Tory said, "Man they are archaic," Chris said and they both burst into laughter and Chris finished before Tory and went to Tory's room. "Now Tory you will be in another country and you know we can't go with you," Tory's father said and she nodded, "I know dad," she said, "Well we will see you off at where ever you have to go," Tory's father said sadly and Tory agreed since her family is poor. Luckily for her the Academy has paid for all her supplies and she was grateful for it.
It was later that night in Tory's room that she read the letter from the headmaster of the school, "Hogwarts," she thought as she read the letter.
Dear Ms. Kahalewai

Deputy Headmistress, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Tory looked at her letter and sighed she had to wait all summer before she could get her stuff but the date to get to England is the week before so she did not feel that bad. Kama was sitting on his usual perch enjoying a big fat rat as he turned to look at Tory, "Well Kama we are going to England in one month's time," she said holding up the letter and her Owl hooted quizzically, "Well you are my familiar and you are coming too," she said and Kama hooted happily. "Well I want to ride my broom want to go flying?" she asked her owl but when he burped she laughed and he shook his head no. "suit yourself," Tory said as she grabbed her broom and walked outside. The broom was a Christmas gift from her aunt in Honolulu a Firebolt and Tory mounted it and sprang from the ground.
The feel of the wind was much for her and she loved it. Soaring up high she felt the strong winds as they beat against her broom as she soared higher then the clouds and then she stood up and surfed the clouds. "Yeehhhaaaa!" she screamed as she stood on her broom and leaped from it falling freestyle. Twisting and turning in the air she did many spirals before calling back her broom and soaring up high again to do more tricks. She did a few faints, loops and sprints with the broom and at once dove down towards the ocean and soared above it as the sun set. She surfed the swells on her broom transfiguring it and her clothes into swimming clothes (a wetsuit and surfboard) as she finished she changed it again and dove under the waves changing into a shark and going down to hunt fish. The thing she liked about Hawaii is that there are no restrictions of underage magic use outside of school. The only thing you have to watch out for is Muggles. The thing she liked about changing into animals is the abilities they have such as the sharks sense of smell underwater. She could smell things in the ocean but as the ocean grew darker due to the setting sun she shifted to dolphin and soared above the waves, only to transform back into her original form on her broom high and dry. Soaring high again she flew home on her broom and landed in the yard. The good thing about Hawaii especially Molokai is its lack of spectators.
Running into the shower she cleaned up and knowing how late she came home she crawled into her room and went to bed.
