------------------------------------------------------

It had been about a month since they had arrived on planet Earth, and in that time they had been busy setting themselves up in the magic part of the world. They had decided this was best just incase they accidentally let some of their powers slip, it would be easier to explain. They created papers to verify that they were the "Miller" family, and Melhina and Torkin had gotten low level magical jobs. Sillenna spent her some of her time watching TV, but mostly reading books and the newspapers. She had a mild interest in the problems of the world around her but most of it seemed so trivial. There was a whisper of some "great" evil that was seeking power. Hhhmm! There was no "great" power period on this planet. Though this Dumbledore person sounded interesting.

Whenever Sillenna would read what sounded like ant interesting spell she would go out into the woods and try it out with the wand she had purchased. It usually only took her one or two tries to get it right. And even though she didn't realize it, Sillenna had mastered many spells that only a few full-grown wizards could perform. But she soon became bored with teaching herself and spent most of her time just moping around the small town she lived in. Even now she was sitting in an open-air café sipping a drink. The season called summer was reaching it's end and Sillenna wondered if her "parents" would make her go to the Earth schools. They probably would, so that everything would to appear to be normal. She wondered if she could convince them to send her off to some magical school, at least there she wouldn't have to totally hide her gifts. She sighed and watched a group of teens walk by laughing and having a good time, not realizing that all the guys in the group were watching her out of the corner of their eyes. They were all hoping that this beautiful new girl would be coming to their school this coming year.

As she walked home Sillenna decided to ask Melhina and Torkin about attending a wizard school. She got home only about thirty minutes before they were scheduled to return from work and began to tidy up the house, not that it was ever messy, she just wanted them to have no reason to say no to her request. She heard a key in the door and took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing," she thought.

"Hey guys, how was work?" She greeted them cheerfully.

"Dull" Torkin said and Melhina just rolled her eyes.

"Can I talk to you about something?" Sillenna asked timidly.

"Sure." Melhina said as she put her stuff down and kicked off her shoes, Sillenna smiled at the gesture. They all hated wearing shoes. She snapped back to the conversation at hand.

"It's about school," she said.

"We've been meaning to talk about that," Torkin mumbled to himself.

"I was wondering…" she took a deep breath, "if I could attend a magic school, you know, just in case my powers slip, and I can learn more about their magic, and not have to go totally without magic…"

"Sillenna!" Melhina interrupted with a grin, handing her an envelope with an H seal on it. Sillenna looked at them both questioning but they just smiled at indicated for her to open the letter. Sillenna gingerly opened the letter and read it. A smile spread across her face. She looked up to see her two guardians beaming.

"And I can go!" Sillenna asked.

"Of course, silly or we wouldn't have given it to you!" Torkin said, playfully poking her. Sillenna squealed happily and hugged her guardians, covering them with thanks.

As she skipped off to her room to make a list of the things she would need, only one thought was on Sillenna's mind; Hogwarts.

-----------------------------------

As she got ready for her trip to Diagon Alley, Sillenna hummed an Earth tune called Do You Believe in Magic, that had quickly become one of her favorite songs. She had already been there once when they had first moved to Earth to get various magic paraphernalia that they would need to live in they magical world. She already had a wand so that was one thing off her list. Melhina and Torkin had gone off in search of something and left her to find her own things. She had bought her robes, caldron, and most of her other school supplies and was now headed to the bookstore to get the required material for the coming school year.

Sillenna walked into the quiet store and began browsing down the isles looking for her books. She found most of them quickly but was having trouble finding the last two, and then she spotted one of them on the bottom shelf and stooped down to get it only to collide with somebody reaching for the same book.

"Ouch!" they both exclaimed, dropping their other purchases on the floor.

"Sorry." Sillenna said helping the other girl pick up her books.

"Oh, that's ok. It's not like it's the first time, or the last, it's gonna happen." The other girl said also reaching for the fallen books. Sillenna looked up at the girl with bushy brown hair and a radiant smile.

"Hi, I'm Sillenna Ri….Miller." Sillenna corrected herself quickly.

"I'm Hermione Granger. Are you going to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked, indicating Sillenna's selection of books.

"Yeah, it's my first year. I mean I'm not a First Year, but this will be my first year." Sillenna told Hermione the story she and her "parents" had made to explain her sudden enrollment in a wizardry school. She was to tell them that she had gone to a muggle, as they called the non-magical world, school and had learned what magic she knew from her parents. They had taught her all they could and she had learned what she could from books. So they decided to send her off to a magical school and she just happened to be accepted by the best in the world, Hogwarts. Hermione accepted the story without questions and they were soon talking away. They discovered that Sillenna was going to be in the same year as Hermione, among many other things the two girls had in common. Sillenna was surprised how easy she found it to just talk with Hermione, she had never really conversed with humans except in casual passing and when she heard she was going to Hogwarts it had been one of her biggest fears. "I guess all that reading paid off," she thought as they exited the store and started down the street. They were so absorbed in their conversation that Sillenna didn't notice Melhina and Torkin headed their way. "Sillenna!" Melhina said as Sillenna and Hermione walked right past them.

"Oh," Sillenna said as she jerked to a stop, "sorry Mel…uuh…mom. Didn't see you there."

"I figured that much." Melhina said with smile.

"Mom, Dad, this is Hermione Granger. She goes to Hogwarts." Sillenna introduced Hermione.

"Nice to meet you Hermione." Torkin said politely.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. and Mrs. Miller," Hermione replied, "Sillenna, I have to go. I promised my friends I would meet them. Look for me on the train, ok?"

"Ok!" Sellinna waved Hermione goodbye and then turned to her guardians. "Where did you two run off to?"

"We had to pick up something special." Torkin grinned suspiciously and pulled something out from behind his back. It was cage. Sillenna's eyes grew wide at the sight of what was inside. It was a white owl with gray flecks and gray eyes.

"OOOHHH!" Sillenna squealed, "I love it! Thank you soooooo much!" She hugged her guardians so hard, she was surprised she didn't break them.

"Come on, silly." Torkin said and directed them toward home. Sillenna looked over her shoulder at the receding head of bushy hair. She smiled. Hogwarts was looking better and better.
