Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter... Do you think J.K Rowling might sell it to me?

A/N: This is my first fan fic, please review, but please don't post any flames!

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

I'm Maddy. I'm 16 years old. I have 2 best friends. Athena, and Laurel. This is our story.

I am, shockingly, Albus Dumbledores granddaughter. Fortunately for me, i'm his daughters daughter, which means I don't carry his last name. Which I guess is a good thing, since being his granddaughter makes me a number one target. It also doubles my risk since I am his closest living relative. (my parents, unfortunately, were killed when I was one and a half years old by voldemort himself.)

My friends and I are all orphans, strange thing is all of our parents were killed by voldemort, less than a week from each other, which my grandfather says gives us an even stronger bond. We are also the youngest members in the Order. For the past 5 years we have been living as muggles, going to muggle schools, and being tutored by my grandfather over the summer. We were posted in a different spot every year where voldemort's threat was the highest.

This year is going to be different though, my grandfather decided it would be a good idea to finish up our schooling at Hogwarts. We all agreed.

Laurel, Athena, and I became friends when my grandfather learned of our unique abilities that went together perfectly. You see Laurel is a natural born leader, can act on and follow the most complicated plans. Which is great since I am a planning genius (If I do say so myself). I make the best thought out plans.

Athena's unique ability is a little different. She can sense when danger is near. We don't know how it works exactly,
but we've always been warned if a serious danger is near.

I also have one more ability, one that has no relation to Laurel or Athena. I can perform spells without speaking, or a wand. Wandless magic. Everyone can perform wandless magic to an extent, but it takes away most of your energy. For me though, I can do it without the side effects. The only other person known to be able to do it is my grandfather.

Anyway, we have all been exeptional students, so exceptional, we are a year ahead in our magical studies.

We begin our story August 31st, the night before we are scheduled to get on the Hogwarts Express. We have been living in an apartment my grandfather rented out for us in London for the past month. He said it could be our vacation since we are already so far advanced in our studies, and have been working very hard for the Order for the past year.

Now sit back, relax and read!
