Hey guys!!! I know I haven’t posted anything in a loooooooooooooong time, and I apologize, but life’s been rough lately. I know some of you may be wondering why Torn Between Two Snakes has disappeared (see my profile for details and message me about it if you want). I apologize. This story has been swimming around in my head for quite some time, and there’s no better time to start then a boring night during spring break! By the way, this first chapter is just a quick intro. On with the show!!!

Disclaimer: (This is going for the whole story) Anything you recognize clearly isn’t mine, but my characters are my characters, as is the plot as well as a few minor details. Also, I WILL be the next J.K. Rowling! Enjoy, my fishsticks! (How I’ve missed saying that…)

Prologue:

The thirteen year old girl had finished packing and was almost ready to leave. She stood in front of the mirror, making sure she looked just right. She shook her head to move her scarlet bangs from her eyes, her mid-back length, wavy, ginger hair sparkling as it moved gently, rippling down her back. Her eyes met those in her reflection, and she saw excitement shine in her large eyes, which were a swirl of blue-green with flecks of grey, brown and purple centering around her pupil. She smiled and sighed, before twirling around her large bedroom, taking care to not knock over any of her luggage.

“After years of persuasion, I’ve finally convinced them. Oh, I can’t believe I’m actually going to Hogwarts!!!” She exclaimed happily.

Her parents had refused to allow her to go to Hogwarts for her first and second year as she was desperately needed to help protect her home. She had bought all of her books from Diagon Alley anyway and had learned everything necessary. But here she was, ready to start her third year! Bringing herself out of her thoughts, she turned to look at her clock. She remembered she had to arrive early to meet with the headmaster. She walked, almost floated through the doors, which opened by themselves. She nodded to the people she met in the extravagantly decorated hallway, who smiled brightly back at her, before reaching her parents.

“Mother, father, I need to leave now.” She said happily, although still feeling some remorse at leaving her parents.

“Alright dear, but are you sure you want to take that crazy new broom of yours?” Her mother asked.

“Of course, there’s no other way I can get there, and it’s easier and much more fun than flooing there. And I really want to bring my new broom so I can try out for Quidditch. No one even knows it exists yet, so that should definitely give me an advantage!” She grinned.

“Very well dear, we’ll owl you lots.” Her father replied, giving her a hug.

“I’ll miss you father.” She said, giving his hand one last squeeze.

“Do you have the time turner? Remember that you’ll need to go back to the beginning of the year to start muggle school. You’re positive you want to continue with that, aren’t you?” Her mother asked, reaching out to embrace her daughter.

“Absolutely mother. After all, it’s my second culture.” She replied, breaking her mothers iron grip around her.

“Goodbye! I’ll miss you!” She said, turning to run out the door. As soon as she had left, her parents looked at one another.

“If she wasn’t so miraculously lucky at avoiding severe injury, there’s no way I’d be letting her go. She’s insane, with all the crazy tricks she does here, yet somehow she never gets hurt. It’s a wonder she hasn’t already broken her neck.” Her mother said.

“She was born to entertain others, of course she’s insane.” Her father replied, chuckling. “And that’s why I love her.”

After saying goodbye to the remaining members of her family, she proceeded back to her room. She couldn’t say goodbye to her friends again, it would be too hard. She locomotored her luggage to follow behind her after telling her black owl Ebony to fly to Hogwarts and meet her there. Grabbing her broomstick, the brand new Starburst 8500 that she had helped to design and test, flew out of her open window, her belongings trailing behind her. As the cool wind blew in her face, causing her hair to billow out behind her, she smiled and laughed, leaving her first home behind her.

Well? WELL?!?!?! What did you people think? Like I said, this is just a short chapter. I know she doesn’t have a name yet, but she does. Please review, my fishsticks (feels SO good to say that again) and remember that I love you all!!!
