Anja was a normal girl that lived with her godparents from her seventh birthday until five days before her fourteenth birthday. She was around five foot, seven inches tall, with bright blue eyes and light brown hair with red, blue, green streaks in it. The colored streaks were braided. She had green and silver eyeliner, black lipstick, and black nail polish on. She wore black jeans and a black shirt. The necklaces she wore included one that has a dragon and a cobra wrapped around a sword and a spiked dog collar that has a tag with her name, address, phone number, and her nickname, Ebony, that she is called by her friends on it. Anja got the nickname Ebony because she not only has a love of the color and many of the things in her room are made out of Ebony wood, but she also has a love for any animal that has a black coat color. She has a Celtic ring that has two dragons on it on the middle finger of her left hand. On her left wrist she had a long strip of fishnet wrapped around it. Her right wrist had a spiked bracelet on it. Anja was forced to move in with her godparents Kai and Ayamé after her parents disappeared when she was seven years old. Ayamé was a friend of Anja's mom from when they were at school. Kai is Ayamé's husband who she met after she had finished school. Anja does not know that she is a witch or that she is supposed to be going to a school of witchcraft and wizardry in Scotland called Hogwarts.
Anja is at a private, muggle high school that she goes to Rome, Italy. She is walking home from school with her two best friends. She had known her best friends, Norah and Trisha, since she had moved in with her godparents. They were talking about the party that Anja's godparents were going to throw for her when her school rival Serenity walked up to her and said "I see why your parents left you when you were younger. The saw you for what you really are. You are worthless. You are a freak of nature. You don't deserve to live on this earth. You are a disgrace to everyone. No one wants you here." Anja was looking up at the sky as Serenity said all of this to her. If she had looked at Serenity, Serenity would have seen that Anja's eyes were turning from a bright blue to a dark navy blue. Anja's friends saw the change in color of Anja's eyes and held her arms behind her back. Serenity continued, "You don't deserve to go to this school. Your parents were filthy and poor. They couldn't support you so they left you with your grimy godparents. They all know that you will never live to be anything more than a foul sewer rat." Anja was pissed off. She was desperately trying to escape the hold her friends had her in. She wanted to beat the shit out of Serenity. Anja looked down and Serenity saw that her eyes were no longer a shade of blue but they were a pitch black. Anja was shaking with rage. Her friends accidentally let her go and the next thing Serenity knew Anja had jumped on to her and was screaming at her. "Never talk about my parents or godparents like that again you stupid whore," yelled Anja as she knocked Serenity down and was punching her in the stomach and face. Anja's friends saw that Serenity's face was bloody and it looked like her nose was broken. They ran over to them and tried to pull Anja off saying, "She is not worth it Anja calm down before you kill her."
Before, Anja's friends could get her off Anja was surrounded by a blue light. After, they saw that the light had died down, they saw that in the spot were Anja used to be a huge white tiger. It was pinning Serenity to the ground with its body and had its paw raised ready to swipe its claws across her face when out of nowhere a creepy looking man with greasy black hair popped in front of Anja. She looked and almost as if somehow she knew him she immediately stopped attacking Serenity. Another bright light surrounded Anja then she changed back into a 'human'. The man caught Anja before she could fall to the ground. She looked up at him and said, "What the hell is wrong with me?" before she passed out in his arms. The man pulled out a hidden wand and silently cast a healing charm on the girl on the ground. Anja's friends were too busy to notice this; so he cast an Obliviate charm on the three muggles and disappeared with out a sound. Anja's friends came out of the state they were in and looked around. They saw that Anja was missing and Serenity was passed out on the ground. The last thing they remembered was Anja yelling at Serenity. They looked at each other and said at the same time, "Where did Anja go?"
The man appeared in a small village that bordered a huge castle. He walked up to the gates of Hogwarts and pulled out his wand. He waved his wand, said a spell, and then put his wand back in his pocket. The gates made a quiet squeaking noise then opened. He carried Anja down the path that lead to the gigantic front door. When he got to the door it automatically opened to allow him entrance. The man walked through the door and into the Entrance Hall. He walked through many corridors and up many staircases until he reached the hospital wing that is in the school.
He walked in and set Anja on one of the many beds that are in the room. He called out to the medi-witch. She came out of her office that was connected to the hospital wing. " How can I help you Professor Snape?"
" I need you to run tests on this girl so I can get the potions that are necessary to heal her then, I have to go get my assistant."
" Of course I will see what is wrong. Hold on while I run the test"
Madam Pomfrey went into her office. When she came back out, she was carrying her wand. She walked went back into over to the bed that Snape had put Anja in and cast a charm. A clipboard appeared in front of her. A list of injuries was found on the clipboard. Poppy gasped as she read it, a fractured wrist, major bruising all along her body, some minor and major cuts, some major burns, three broken ribs, and internal damage to her lungs. Madam Pomfrey turned to Snape and said, " Can you get me a blood-replenishing potion, a burn-healing paste,and a healing potion?" " Right away Poppy." Severus left the hospital wing quietly. Madam Pomfrey decided to heal Anja's wrist and ribs first. She cast Episkey on the bones before she cast the same charm againThis time the list was the same except the fractured wrist and three broken ribs were gone from it.
Snape was walking down the corridors towards his quarters. He turned the corner and ran right into someone. He quickly got up off the floor and glared down at the person. As soon as he saw the purple eyes looking up at him he knew who it was. His eyes softened and his heart started beating faster. It was his assistant Aurora. Aurora is twenty years old and as been working as the assistant Potions Mistress since she was seventeen. She has light blue hair and is five foot, six inches tall. She had appeared to come out of nowhere and came to Hogwarts to get a job. He held out his hand to help the woman that he secretly loved. She took his hand and he pulled her up off the floor.
"Are you alright Aurora?"
" Yes, Severus I am alright." Aurora's heart was beating faster; she loved being this close to Snape. She started falling in love with the professor not too long after she arrived at Hogwarts but she was afraid to tell him because she did not think that he would return her feelings.
"Come Aurora, we must go to my quarters," he said as he started walking down the corridor. Aurora caught up to Snape and poked him on his arm.
"Why do we have to go there Sev?" she said curiously. Snape was already walking around the corner but he stopped when he heard the nickname that only his godson, Draco, and his long time friend, Lucius, called him by. He turned around and asked, " Where did you hear that name?"
Aurora replied, " I heard Draco Malfoy calling you that one day when you told him to stay after class. Why do we have to go to your quarters Severus?"
Snape said, "There is a witch, who appears to be the age of a fourth year, in the hospital wing and we need to get the potions that Madam Pomfrey needs so, she can heal her."
Aurora caught up to Snape and asked, "How did she get here?"
"Dumbledore called me into his office when he felt an unknown surge of magic. He asked me if I could floo the Hogsmeade and then apparate to Rome, Italy where the surge was detected." As they continued to walk towards Snape's quarters, Aurora asked, "What happened when you got there?"
"The girl had turned into a huge white tiger and was about to attack a muggle girl. I had apparated in front of her; she turned back and quietly said something before she passed out. I caught her before she hit the ground. I healed the girl that was attacked and then I obliviated all three of the muggles."
They were now in front of Snape's quarters. Snape said the password "Veriturserum", and they walked in. Snape walked over to his potion cabinet and grabbed a blood-replenishing potion, a burn-healing paste, a healing potion, and just in case he grabbed a pain potion and a calming draught. Snape and Aurora went back up to the hospital wing. Snape helped Madam Pomfrey get the potions down the girl's throat then he went back to his quarters to sleep in order to get ready for his meeting with the Headmaster about the girl.
