Disclaimer: I don't own harry potter, never have, and until I take over the world, I never will, the only things I own are the original characters, the plot, and a couple of slaves--I mean uh…faithful (or they had better be!) readers who will hear endless rants and nagging if I don't get reviews hinthintwinkwinknudgenudge

A/N: Anyways, here's a basic summary: set in MWPP time, follows OC's Sabrina and Senna from their first year all the way up to that Halloween night when their best friend is killed by moldie voldie. The story's actually a lot more complex than that, I'm just too lazy to write a detailed summary. Also, this was co-authored by Distant Dream, so 100 cookies to whoever figures out who wrote what parts. I've got the first couple chapters written, so I'll update as much as I can, but I'm pre-warning you all: I'm extremely lazy, and I work between 40 and 50 hours a week, so if I haven't updated in a while, send me a bitchy e-mail so I can get my ass in gear. The story changes POV quite a bit, but usually when I do a POV change I'll start a new paragraph beginning with the character's name, so it shouldn't be too confusing or hard to follow.

Now that we've gotten all that out of the way, here's the prologue:

"No one ever said life was fair. We are all frequently thrown into situations we can neither understand nor control. Many of us have to learn from a very young age that nothing is ever truly black or white, there are many shades of grey. More often than not, the only person you can count on is yourself, and even then the odds are against you because we all make mistakes. It's what we make of the bad situations and the horrible mistakes that makes us who we are. We can either sit and cry and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can get up, learn from the past, and move on. " –Kali Wolfstar

Sabrina lay wide awake in her bed. It was nearly two in the morning, and she was exhausted, but sleep would just not come. Somewhere off in the distance, a lone wolf howled. She shifted slightly, trying not to upset the angry bruises that ran down her left side from her abdomen to her knee. In just a few more hours, she'd be on the train to Hogwarts for the first time, and for the first time, she'd be away from home. Away from all the suffocation and hurricane of anger that she had known all her life. Just a few more hours….

Senna tossed and turned, trying in vain to get comfortable. The anxiety of being transported to a completely different world had interrupted her normally sound sleeping habits. Everything around her was completely alien. Part of her just wanted to go home, back to her warm ocean and her mother, but she couldn't. Her human father had received a letter from Hogwarts, and wanted her to come to his world and study to be a witch. In just a few more hours, her surroundings would change yet again as she boarded the train for Hogwarts, in just a few more hours she'd be surrounded by strangers who could never know who or what she was. Just a few more hours….
