A brown barn owl flew into an open window earning a shriek from a short, fifteen year old girl. The girl's parents came running into the room but sighed with relief when they saw the puzzled owl drop a letter on the floor and fly into the sky.
"Tama, did it startle you?" Her father asked.
Shiratama was the girl's real name but she preferred the nickname.
"Go on, open it," Her mother urged.
Tama's skin had turned almost as white as her spiky hair with fright but she nodded. Gingerly picking up the letter, she opened it away from her in case it held powdered silver and peaked and the contents. A piece of parchment with green writing strewn across it. It read:
Dear Miss Shiratama Kamiya,
I am pleased to in form you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts: the school of witchcraft and wizardry. You will be starting in fifth year. You will buy your books in Diagon Ally in England. There is a portkey in this envelope, which will enable you and one of your parents to go to England. You father will know where to go.
As for your condition, we have a solution for you. A tree was placed in the grounds that only you and another student, who has your condition, would be able to access during your transformations. Please refrain from using your special powers. I hope to see you in school.
Yours sincerely,
Minirva McGonugall.
As Tama read the letter, her parents smiled and hugged her. She was amazed that a wizarding school would take in someone like her; a werewolf. She wasn't just any kind of werewolf, she was a white werewolf. That meant that she could control when she wanted to transform but her transformation looked like a wolf with white fur. She also had super senses and strength. When she acknowledged this information, she was excited.
The next day, her parents helped her pack a few clothes, her muggle novels and books and her dueling deck. Her father fished the portkey out of the envelope as she hugged her mother and said her good-byes. She huddled close to her father as they portkey started. Tama felt a yank behind her navel, which signaled the teleporting from Japan to England. They held a stone and when they appeared behind The Leaky Cauldron, her father dropped it.
"I'll go inside and book a room for you. Meanwhile you can explore this place," Her father said with a smile.
Her father whipped out his wand and opened the wall then took off to get Tama a room. The girl walked into the sunlight and took a look around. There were shops everywhere, children and parents shopped for school supplies and teenagers ran around in search of their friends. Tama's lavender orbs floated over the scene as she walked down the side of the street but suddenly she fell over with someone on top of her.
"Prongs, why'd you do that!" A boy complained.
Tama rolled her eyes at the typical boy behavior then pushed herself up by her elbows.
"Sorry about that. I'm James and this is Sirius, Remus and Peter," The boy said, pushing the boy off her and helping her up.
"S'ok, the name's Shiratama, but call me Tama," She said (I will call her Tama mostly).
"Hi. Out of curiosity, you going to Hogwarts?" The boy called Sirius, who had fallen on me, asked.
"Yeah, I am starting fifth year," She announced pushing a spike of white hair from her face.
"Will! Hey, I see you've made some friends."
"I'm not some loner you know," She muttered under her breath.
Tama's father walked over to the small group but he sort of scared the boys.
"I'll see you sometime," She said, waving.
"Come visit us. Our room number is 22," They said.
