"I was sitting alone in my Room. Alone. Why does this happen to me all the time. I can't explain this weird things happening around me. Today, when I woke up, I did not like my breakfast and I dont Know why, but my hair changed to Green. My Guardian didn't like it. He thought I died ist, so I was grounded. Only School, Church and Back. He behaved like I am the Devil himself. I thought of better times, when I lived Witz my Aunt Cassie. We had a Little flat in the East of Hamburg. I loved her so much, but she died after I got to school, when I was five. But who am I? My name is Mira Volant. After my aunt died, I was sent to an orphanage near Hamburg. I didn't have any relatives, I dont know who my father is, my mother died when I was Born. She was British, but my aunt moved to Germany, because of her work and took me with thought it Important That I Know my mother language. The last years were hard. I was the youngest in school, a seventh grader. I loved reading and there wasn't anything exciting to read here. The next library was in town. And when I was grounded, I didnt have permissive to Go there, and I was barely Not grounded with this weird things happening around me. So I read my school Books, because I was bored over and over again.. Larissa called me, I have post. There was only one Person who would Write to me. My best friend Paula. She was a twelfe year old classmate, extraordinary and brilliant. She didnt have many Friends in school like me. We were both the youngest and she wasnt scared of me like others, because of this stuff That happens whenever I am near, like the changing of my hair. She thought ist was cool. But I got a post Card from her yesterday. Who could have Written to me? Larissa was in knocking on my door and lebt herself in: „Ich habe dich gerufen, du hast Post! Sieht aus als ob dich jemand verarschen will! Steht nicht mal dein Name drauf, aber du bist die einzige in diesem Zimmer" She gave me some old style letter. It had a wax seal. Larissa teased me: „Ist dir nicht langweilig so ganze alleine den ganzen Tag auf deinem Zimmer. Ich meine Freaks wie du wollen doch bestimmt auch mal in die Sonne. Oder willst du so bleich wie ein Vampir bleiben, Bitch. Ich werde einen wundervollen Tag mit meinen Freunden verbringen, könntest ja mit kommen, aber warte mal. Dich will doch eh keiner dabei haben. Ich will ja meine Sommerferien genießen" She was really mean. „Oh, fuck off!" I shouted at her, but I had no luck. Frau Meininger had heard me. So i got to have the luck, to have to clean the house again, as punishment. She said I was too rebellious.. After dinner, I had a look at the letter:
Ms Meridiana Héloise Alya Volant
Little room second door upstairs
Sardinenweg 7
078361 Hamburger Vorstadt
"Thats my Room, but the only thing that was right was the surname. I took a look at the sender
Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry
"I laughed, who wants to be kidding me. I opened the letter. Some guy, McGonagall wanted to tell me that I was accepted to some school in Scotland. Witchcraft, ha, that's something that is non existent. But the letter looks really official. I had to answer per owl?! Hmm, two people could play the game. So I took some paper and wrote this McGonagall guy a letter back.
Dear Prof McGonagall,
I am delighted to hear from you, that's a good joke. I had a good laugh. I am not that crazy to believe in something like magic. Everything has a possible explanation and proof in physics and logic, even maybe this weird stuff happening around me. So when you're school really exists, I believe I need proof. So if you please magic beam someone to explain to me this stuff, I am really delighted to see it for myself and accept this invitation to your most prestigious school.
Greetings. My name is Mira Volant
I had my fun and climbed out of my window and took the letter to the post office. I had stamps from Paula to send her letters back to Sylt, where she was staying with her parents in their summer home.
I went to the home again and waited. Next Morning at after breakfast, there was someone ringing the bell. It was someone for me. Frau Meininger openend the door. „Good day. I am Professor McGonagall. I am from a school in Scotland. I am interested in one of your charges here, Ms Volant!" Frau Meininger called me, she wanted me to translate. We went to her office. I was surprised, how could this be real. Frau Meininger didnt agree, when she thought I had a stipend for some school in Great Britain and she definitely didnt agree, tha I could go with some women from the isle. I laughed to myself. I thought she was a guy, but she looked really strict, even with her weird clothes. She shouted at McGonagall, that she should go, before she called the police, but McGonagall waved some stick and Frau Meiningert was petrified and silence. A good thing for a change. McGonagall asked me if I wanted to Go to Hogwarts, because here I had my Proof. I was stunde. Furthermore, she told me, That I had Family in Great britain. Family, That had a right to be my Guardian. I asked her, why this so called Family, didnt show up, when I lived with aunt Cassie or Even After she died. She Said, that is complicated. That this Family didnt Even know about me. So I asked her, why I should Even Go with her? „Because children are sherished in the wizarding world. I think, when I Look at You, I Know who youre parents are. So I believe Someone will take you in or will come here, to pick you up, but I believe, when you come with me, it is up to you to decide, were you will live. Our Ministry allready knows about you and Headmaster Dumbledore thought ist better, That I will introduce you to the wizarding world, before the ministry can decide which of your Family will take you in." „Are you kidding me. Do you really think, I will Go with some stranger! NO!" „I will Not be Spoken like That, and you will hopefully remember That, when you are in school or you will get detention" „Detention, what the fuck, Thats old" „Language!" I looked up at her, and she seemed to take a deep breath. „You can decide, you can come with me and let me introduce you to the wizarding world and can get to know your family and decide were you live or let the ministry decide and that maybe not in your favour!" „Ok, I could give it a try." I rolled my eyes. „Miss Volant, it maybe better if you could keep your tamper in check, I believe some of your family will not agree with you!" So I went into my room to pack my stuff. Not much, only some Crop tops, Tank tops, my favorite shorts and skinny jeans. I put my hair into a high ponytail and got my jacket and my books. In McGonagall got upstairs: „I talked to your caretaker, and she agreed. The paperwork is finished." Thats fast" I questioned her. „Magic has his benefits" She told me, looked at all my clothes, pictures of Paula and me and Aunt Cassie and me, and books. „You know, when I was little I was a good friend of Cassie." „Really, how was she, when you were little?" „That maybe a tale for another time" She waved her stick und shrunk my stuff. „Hey, what the hell. What's with my stuff?"
