My name is Saskia Petrova.
You may do know or heard of me, I am a descendant from the great and well known Wizard Merlin. Me and my family lived in the Background and never were a big thing, for our own safety. But 14 ago, that changed.
I was 3 yea...
I was totally stressed. In 2 hours, at 9 in the morning, a ship to Durmstrang would take off at the port of Bulgaria to Sweden and I had slept too long, just finished showering and didn't packed anything. As fast as I could, I ran back to my room, ignoring the other teens and flipped my wand. All my stuff began to fly across the room and laid itself well sorted and folded in my suitcase. Thank god, magic existed. I still needed my Wand to exercise spells, because I first needed to train to conjure wandless. I would learn how to do it this year in school, but I knew I was able to do it. My whole family was.
2 hours later, just like that in time, I found myself standing at the port in my schooluniform. Black boots, robust trousers, also in black and with leather backups on my knees and sides. On the top i wore also a black turtleneck which was tucked in the trousers with the help of a wide black leather belt, the schools sign as the clasp. On my Hands were light gloves, where my finger tips were free. And of corse not to be forgotten, the for the Durmstrang typical cape with red velvet in it. My hair was Bound in a high and tight bun.

I saw the the big ship dock and walked to the bridge om the ship. I went under deck and searched for a free sitting are. Thea big space was filled with couches, tables, armchairs and two firespots. All of the students were in here, allthough there werent that much. Durmstrang was small school against as other ones like Hogwarts but instead of that it had much more discipline. Also a cool but also not so cool fact i thought, was that Grindewald went there when he was Young. Everyone knew the sign he setted there in one of the great walls, before he got kicked out. It was still there and no one could remove it, it was protected by a spell, no one knew.
I found the blone hair of Mia and plaved myself near her on a armpit and we talked about my animal, that I soon got to see. It wasn't allowed in the orphage, so he needed to stay in Durmstrang until i would come back. His name was Vlad and he was bigger as a normal wolf. Due the fact his shoulder reached my breast, I could easily ride on him. He was a part of me, the last part from my family, that stayed. I grew up with him and we created a bond no one could break. That was the reason, he also changed his look based on my emotions. Like me, he had deep black fur, only his eyes were white bright as a diamond. That was the last glance of happines from myself. It stood for my Mia, my team, but maily for Vlad.

Mia and Saskia felt sparkles in their bellies as they left the ship after 7 hours and started to walk in the direction of the castle with other students, sepperated from the new ones. The Durmstrang Institute was a small Castle that's Towers reached out frome the mountain it was built in. The castle was one with him and only those could see it, who were supposed to. They all entered the great hall and sat down at the round tables placed infront of the Podest, where only the teachers were allowed to sit. Saskia quickly straightened her back, as she saw Igor Karkaroff, the headmaster, stand up and beginning his speech. First he talked About genereal Things and greeted then the new students, who were only childs. But then his face began to Change and he looked serious:"In one week, the trimagical Tournament will take it's place in Hogwarts." Everyone looked ech other and Mia gave Saskia a corious look. Everyone knew, this tournament was dangerous and even more important to Wizards, than Quidditch. Professor Karkaroff talked again:" Twelfe students of you, all over 17 years old"- that were the words, which disappointed many but Saskia, she turned seventeen a few weeks ago-"will be going with me there, to Hogwarts, and one champion of three schols will be selected."
That was the point, when Saskia knew, she wanted to be that Champion.
5 days later, she found herself packing for Hogwarts. Karkaroff told her and 11 other students just a Moment before, that they were going to travel to Hogwarts, It would take a two or three days to get there, so they would begin their journey this evening. "Are you excited?" She smirked to Vlad and he stood up right away and looked at her amused. "Me too Vlad, me too" Khalida responded, laying her head on his and closing her eyes. They both stood still for a few seconds, enjoying the silence and the comfort of each other, before Saskia finished packing and went with Vlad on her side out of ther Girls bedroom, into direction of the ship. Out of the castle, she Chose to sit on Vlad and let him carry her to it. For him it wasn't really abig deal, he was so strong, he wouldn't really notice her anyways. A few minutes later they reached the big gate, which immediately opened itself to the big wolf and the beautiful girl.

More and more minutes began to passed by as they arrived at the web on the ice cold river. Saskia already was there early in the morning. It was a tradition and at the same time a part of the training of the Durmstrangs, to go and take an early swim in the almost iced water. It took much strength to survive it and to not get a cold or even a heart attack. It made them hard as the beautiful glancing Ice on the top of some parts of the river. About an hour later, the girl, who got taken away her family by Voldemort, sat on a couch under deck. The big place, which was a cozy place before was transformed into a common room, sorrounded by 15 smaller ones. 12 for the champions, from which the Petrova sadly was the only girl, oke for Igor Karlaroff, their headmaster and the other two for a cook and a safety guy. He managed the spell, which would move the ship when they would start their trip in 10 minutes. The special thing about the Durmstrang's ship was, that it dived instead of swimming. All the other persons, who were on the fresh air till this time, got under deck quickly, or they would drown.
Pov. Saskia Petrova I only remember that I fell asleep on the couch as a bad memory passed my thoughts.

A young woman with white hair ran through the forest, with a child in her arms. The woman was the beautifullesg a person has ever seen. Bright eyes, nearly white and pale skin but as clear as it could be. The child was screaming, also the woman was. She was sweating and her breath got hevier by every step she took.
„Katherina" A raspy voice shouted for the angelic woman. A man right behind her seemed to own that voice. Also in his arms, he carried a girl. But this one seemed a little bit older, about 6 years. They were followed. Followed by black smoke, which faded into faces. One of them was the mask of a man. A man named tom riddle. The child in ther mothers arm was named Saskia. She was related to merlin and a special girl. Little did they know, soon she would be the strongest person alive. Stronger than Tom, stronger than the mother, which protected her son only with her love from a spell coming out of Tom Riddles mouth. The little boy lost his home this night, also did the girl. But different to him, the girl was knew exactly what was going on, even if she was three years old, she saw her family die in front of her eyes, all of them tortured by the cruciatus curse. Happily the mother ported her youngest daughter away, before the becoming Voldemort saw her. She knew she was special, she always knew that one day this little girl would save world and would find home again.
There was a bright green light, before the girl were ported away. That was the last ting Saskia saw, before her parents and her sister were dead.
Also now, she saw the green light flashing right in front of her eyes. The child of Katherina Petrova gasped loudly after air and woke up, totally wet from sweating and with tears in her eyes. She hated it. Everytime she closed her eyes, she could only see the same green light. It was the reason she was always tired. Always sad and afraid someone would catch her crying one day. Everyone knew, she felt happiness as good as never. They knew, she was angry, angry all the time. They knew to better not piss her off, because maybe her impulsive peesonallity would kill you, if you said the wrong thing.
