Victoria’s POV

I hate school. I go to a yearlong school with stupid uniforms, idiotic students, and awful teachers. I mean I have always hated school but now it’s worse. I am in my freshman year of high school. I looked into the mirror in front of me. The right side of my face was red from a rubber ball in gym. I hate the game for one and the player who threw it at me didn’t do it accidently. I wasn’t even playing; I was sitting out for a minor injury. My poor friend Jeremy had to be held back by Andy. I began to hum Heaven Knows by The Pretty Reckless. I put my wrists under the cold water. I turned off the water and dried off my wrists. I felt a very cold breeze come in. I heard a noise that sounded like nails dragging on the wall. It gave me chills. The air became very cold. I felt goose bumps on my arms and swear I saw my breath. I started to leave but something or someone stopped me. It was in a long black robe with a hood. I couldn’t see its face. It was pretty tall too. What is the world was it? Its hands were also gray and all scabby. So it wasn’t human, but that isn’t possible. It snapped its head in my direction. I began to back up. I finally came to the wall. It glided closer to me. I looked down, no legs or feet. When I looked back up I saw that it was opening its mouth. I felt myself freeze. I closed my eyes. I heard footsteps. There was a short moment of silence.  

Willow’s POV

I walked to the bathroom to get away from the class and the wretched teacher. Man, I miss Hogwarts. Thank Godric and Merlin school starts in less than a month. I entered the bathroom and saw a dementor. What the hell is a dementor doing here?! I quickly drew my wand. “Expecto Patronum” I said. The silver light came out and knocked the dementor out the window. I saw a girl against the wall. She had red hair, like the Weasley’s but redder and bright green eyes. She looked terrified, but if I had been face to face with a dementor I would be too.

Victoria’s POV

“Expecto Patronum” someone said. I opened my eyes and saw silverlight. The thing was pushed out the open window next to me. I looked and saw a girl with long black hair and silver eyes. She had dark eyeliner all the way around her eyes. Like how I do mine. “Are you alright?” she asked as she stuck something up her sleeve. “Y-Yeah. What in the world was that thing?” I asked. “Dementor” she said. “A what?” I asked. I was completely confused. “Oh I’m sorry! I forgot” she said. I looked at her for a couple seconds. A smile came over her face. “It was a dementor. They are not common around here. They are foul creatures who suck every happy memory from someone. Be glad that he didn’t kiss you” she said. “Ew” I said scrunching my face. “Not literally. That is what it’s called; a dementor’s kiss” she said. “What they do is take someone happy thoughts and leave all the bad ones, you don’t need to know what they do after. And if they get to they will suck your soul out.” she continued. “Oh” I said slowly. “I’m Willow by the way. Willow Black” she said putting her hand out to shake. “I’m Victoria. Victoria Kenn” I said shaking her hand. “Thanks by the way” I said. “You’re welcome. And it’s nice to meet you” she said. “Nice to meet you too” I said. Her grey eyes were gleaming. Another girl came into the bathroom. She looked at Willow and I weirdly. The girl began to fix her hair and makeup. “Hey Victoria, do you want to walk home with me?” Willow asked. I smiled and nodded. “Cool! Let’s go get our stuff” she said. “But its fifth period” I exclaimed. She smiled and turned to leave the bathroom. I followed her out. “Yeah but were going to be switching schools soon anyway” she said with a smile. “W-what?” I asked. I wasn’t switching schools even though it sounded like a good idea. Or was I? “I’ll explain on the way to my house” she said. She walked up to a locker and put in her books. She grabbed out her bag and closed the locker. “Where is your locker?” she asked. “Down by foreign language hallway” I said. She nodded and we began towards there. A hall aid pasted us. “What class are you two in?” he asked. “Gym” Willow said. “Doesn’t look like you’re in gym clothes” he said with an evil smile. “We sat out today. Now if you will excuse us” Willow said. She grabbed my wrist and we began to my locker. “Merlin’s beard he is like Filch” she said. “Merlin’s beard? Filch?” I asked. “Oh. Merlin’s beard is a way of saying ‘oh my god’ in my world. And Filch is, well what that guy is” she said. “He roams the halls and if he catches you out of class you’re sent to the headmaster” she said. “Oh” I said slowly. We got to the hallway and I went to my locker. She looked around. I opened it and got my bag. I grabbed my notebook and sketchbook out of my locker. I placed them into my bag. I closed my locker and turned to Willow. She motioned for me to follow her. I did and we began to a side door. I didn’t see any teachers or students. She opened the door and we exited. She looked around and then started walking. “So uh what did you exactly mean by your world?” I asked breaking the awkward silence. “The magic world” she said. “The magic world?” I asked. “Yeah with witches and wizards” she said. “Also like mermaids? And trolls?” I asked. “Yes except they aren’t too nice. A troll was set loose in the school one year” she said. “No one was hurt. Well except the troll” she continued with a small laugh. I faked a laugh. “I can already see you as a witch” she said with a smile. “I can’t” I said. “Sure you can. Just imagine yourself with magic on your side” she said. “Casting spells, brewing potions, taking care of mythical creatures; that only exist in the magic world, and harvesting rare roots” she continued. “You will love it!” she said excitedly. “Believe me it’s better than having PE everyday” she said with a laugh. “Okay I can kinda see myself as a witch” I said. “I could take care of mythical creatures. Well maybe” I said. “Maybe unicorns, hippogriffs, and griffins. Dragons take some time” she said. “Dragons?” I asked. “Yeah” she said. “My friends older brother takes care of them in Romania” she said. “You will love them! The Weasley twins; Fred and George” she said. “They love to play pranks and love to laugh” she continued. I laughed. “You will know them by their red hair. I believe they are the only people who have red hair in school” she said. “Well yours is much redder and darker” she said. “So they are like ginger?” I asked. “Yeah! Ginger!” she said. “But don’t call them ginger” she said. “Well no. I wouldn’t” I said. We continued to walk.

We were now at her house. It wasn’t very big but it wasn’t small. We walked to the door and she opened it. “Hey Mom! I’m home!” she said. “You’re home a bit early missy” someone said; must have been her mother. I looked at the walls which had pictures on them but the pictures moved. “Like the pictures?” she asked. “Yes. They are pretty cool” I said. A woman came out of a doorway and saw us. She had brown hair and brown eyes. “Oh um hello” she said. “Hi” I said. “Mom this is Victoria. She was almost attacked by a dementor today” Willow said. “Merlin’s beard! Are you alright Victoria?” she asked. “Yes I am. Willow stopped it before it could even touch me” I said. “Thank Godric” she said. “I’m Alice by the way” she continued. “Nice to meet you” I said. “I can’t believe a dementor was at the high school. I mean at Hogwarts it would be fine” Alice said. “What’s all the noise out here?” Someone asked. It was a man’s voice. A man with black hair and silver eyes came around a corner. He kind of didn’t look solid around the edges if that was possible. “Dad” Willow said. She ran to give him a hug. They hugged for a while. Well it looked like they were hugging, she kept on going through him. “I’ve missed you!” Willow said. “I’ve missed you too baby girl” he said. They parted out of their hug. “Dad this is my friend Victoria. She was almost attacked by a dementor today” Willow said. “Nice to meet you Victoria. Dementor huh? Nasty things they are. Tried to get me and my Godson” he said. I nodded. “My name is Sirius” he said. “Nice to meet you sir” I said. “Nice to meet you too” he said. “Let’s have some tea” Alice said. We all nodded. “Oh wait” Willow said. She took out a piece of parchment and wrote something down on it. “Ki!” she said. I heard something behind me. I turned and saw a small green dragon. “Take it to Professor Dumbledore please” she said as the dragon took it from her. It turned and flew out a window. “Your Hogwarts letter came today” Alice said. “YAY! We all will have to go to Diagon Alley to get our supplies” Willow said. “I wish I could Willow but you know the Daily Prophet and everyone wouldn’t like it” Sirius said. “I know” she sighed. “We will have to go to Gringotts to get you some money too” Willow said looking at me. “I’m not sure I would be accepted to Hogwarts” I said. “Course you will honey! They are always looking for new witches and wizards” Alice said. She began to pour the tea. I thanked her and took a drink. “You will love Hogwarts” Willow said. “Don’t you worry. I know you will be accepted to Hogwarts. Dementor’s don’t usually go after muggles. Or leave Azkaban.” Sirius said with a frown. “Thanks” I said. “Not sure if my parents would want it either. Plus I have no history of magic in my family” I said. “Well we will convince them and you will learn” Willow said. “Yes, no one comes to Hogwarts knowing any spells” someone said. I looked to the doorway and saw a man in a long robe. He had a silver beard and light blue eyes. “Professor” Willow said. “Hello Willow. Sirius, Alice” he said greeting them. “Professor this is Victoria! Victoria this is Professor Dumbledore, headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry” Willow said. “It’s nice to meet you sir” I said. “Nice to meet you too Victoria” he said kindly. “I can help you learn new spells” Willow said. I smiled at her. “Thanks” I said. “I can get you into shape before school even starts” Willow said. I saw Dumbledore smile. He pulled something for his sleeve and handed it to me. I looked at it. It read: Miss V. Kenn. I smiled as I turned it over. It had an H seal on it. Hogwarts was written around it. “You will find the list of necessary supplies, uniform, and other things needed for this year” Dumbledore said. “Thank you so much sir” I said. He nodded. “Yay! We’re going to have so much fun!” Willow said. I smiled. “Now we just have to convince your parents” Alice said. “Why don’t we go see them?” Dumbledore suggested. “Not a bad idea” Alice said. We stood to leave but Sirius stayed behind. We said goodbye and began to my house. This probably wasn’t going to end well.
