"Sweetheart" my Mother yelled from the bottom of the stairs "Your father and I need to speak to you Darling"

I heaved myself off of my double bed from where I was sitting reading one of my favourite books, "P.S I Love You" the hard back dinged and tatty from the many times that I have read it.

Well, My names Skylar, Skylar Flynn, but call me Sky for short, I'm 13 years old and recently, to my own delight I was expelled from the horrid school I was forced to go to, Primthington Academy, just saying the name makes me want to bang me head off the wall repeatedly.

Primthington Academy was a school of Witchcraft. Yes you heard me correctly, Witchcraft, you see I'm a witch, so are my parents, Anastasia and Oliver Flynn and my baby sister, Isabella.

I was walking down the stairs slowly with my book still in my hands, tripping over the odd toy or two left lying around by my 11 month old sister Isabella Flynn. Once I reached the bottom, clumsy me immediately fell over a pile of number blocks landing straight on my face... Ouch.

I could hear giggling and then felt something sit on my back and starting bouncing up and down squealing and laughing.

I rolled over catching the small child and tickling her hearing her goofy laugh as I tickled under her arms. I laughed just looking at the sight of her squirming around always made me smile.

"Skylar" my Father shouted, "Get in here" I immediately stopped laughing. You see, the reason I was expelled from that dreadful school, was because I may have accidently... Set fire... To... The Headmistress'... Hair. Yea my dad wasn't happy about that especially since she is his best friend's sister.

But she deserved it. She was a bitch to me and ONLY me, I was a normal student who got good results but that wasn't good enough for her. I never got into trouble or did anything wrong... Well according to her I did. She would have me doing detentions for hours, cleaning cupboards, restacking ALL the shelves in the library which contains thousands of books, but the night she told me I was going to be writing lines... I knew something was fishy about that little smirk plastered to her face. She gave me a quill, it was pure black and didn't need ink but I didn't think anything of it. I started writing the lines she told me to

"I will always do as my headmaster tells me"

That's when I felt it, the excruciating pain in the back of my left hand, the blood quill was using my blood to write! That's when I had had enough of her, so when she wasn't looking I set her hair on fire, I was laughing so much watching her trying to distinguish the fire, watching the flames engulf her hair.

That's when she said the words I had been waiting to hear for a VERY long time. "SKYLAR FLYNN YOU ARE EXPELLED FROM THIS SCHOOL YOU WRETCHED CREATURE" I screamed with joy and ran back to my dorm where I packed my things and headed home.

Of course my parents where outraged at what in had done, but to be honest I didn't care. Mum had gotten over the whole thing once I told her about the detentions and showed her the scars on my hand, but Dad was a different story altogether. Its August now and it happened in May. 3 months and he still hasn't forgave me, like its in the past dad, chill!

"Okay I'm here, whats up?" I asked looking at my mother and father while Izzy latched herself onto my lap and tugged on my dark brown hair.

"Your Hogwarts letter arrived this morning, you have been accepted into third year and leave next week," my father told me with no emotion to his voice what so ever.

I was so excited about going to Hogwarts, I had always wanted to go, but all of my great-aunts sort of forced me into going to that other place, said it was the finest school for young ladies. Phh young ladies my arse.

"Yes finally, can we go get my school stuff now then?" I questioned jumping giddly around with Izzy waving her fat arms around cheering with me, at least someone was happy for me.

"Yes darling we will head now, why don't you go and get ready, take Izzy with you while I have a quick word with your father" my mother said hurrying us out of the room.

I climbed the stairs with Izzy, who was in my arms mumbling words I couldn't understand. I chuckled to myself as I lead her to my room grabbing her miniature green converses and her hoodie placing the shoes on her feet and tying the laces tightly then slipping the jacket over her small, chubby arms and zipping it tightly.

I placed her on the bed with her teddy while I slipped on some skinny jeans, a T-shirt , jumper and my red converse . I quickly tied my hair up in a messy ponytail and put a hair clip in Izzys hair to stop it from falling in her eyes.

She giggled at me as she put her arms up in the air signaling that she wanted up. I lifted her and placed her on my hip grabbing her teddy and a book before going down stairs to see my mum and dad standing at the door waiting.

"Ready?" My father asked grabbing my hand, "Ready" I said holding tightly onto Izzy as my mother grabbed my fathers free hand.

"I hate apparating" I mumbled as I felt us turning and apparating into Diagon Alley!
