Prologue

FIVE YEARS AGO

The young girl peered out the train window with her head thrown back. While travelling to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by train, Vivian had made sure she was ready to learn everything there was to know about magic. Vivian picked up one of the books beside her. A book about dark magic. By everything, I mean everything. As a Half-blood she felt like she would never really belong at Hogwarts and that always made her want to study magic, even before she was accepted.

As soon as she opened a book, a girl around her age opened the compartment door. "Hi, do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is quite full, and I'm not the biggest fan of crowded places." She rested her head against the door. "Yes, go ahead." Vivian nodded her head, gesturing towards the seat in front of her. "Thanks. I'm Abigayle." She put her hand out for Vivian to shake it. "Vivian." She shook the girl's hand.

"Nice... What are you reading?" Abigayle asked, as an attempt to escape the awkward silence that was soon to come. "Nothing." The girl scrambled to put all the books in a small bag that she had taken with her. "It's just... magic stuff, you know? I like to be prepared." Vivian nodded. "Me too." Abigayle pulled out a big book for beginners.

Vivian nervously waited for her name to be called so that she could sit on the seat and let the sorting hat pick out her house. "Vivian Caledonia!" One of the professors shouted as he read the parchment. Vivian nervously walked up and took a seat on the brown chair.  "Hmm, very interesting..." The sorting hat began as it was placed onto her small head. Many thoughts ran through the girl's mind.
She wasn't exactly sure what she wanted to be. Her mum was a ravenclaw, but Vivian knew that she could never be that smart.

Vivian was a kind girl but a hufflepuff would be pushing it. She wasn't that brave to be a gryffindor. And then there was "Slytherin!" The sorting hat shouted before her thoughts could continue any longer. The slytherin table began to cheer.
Some were excited cheers and some were bored.
She knew that she wouldn't fit in with the slytherin's as she was a half blood and there was loads of bad blood with them and the pure blooded students.

She stood up and began to walk to the slytherin table. While she was taking a seat, she made uneasy eye contact with a young brunette boy who was sitting directly across from her.

Vivian was spending her first night at Hogwarts. After they were all asleep, she thought it would be a great opportunity to find the library. She was fully aware of the restricted area. Her mother had handed her a map before she departed to board the train, so she already mostly knew her way around the school. Vivian's mother was extremely caring and overprotective and wanted to make sure her daughter was extremely prepared.

With a map in her right hand and a glowing wand in her left, Vivian meandered through the pitch-black fortress.  Her mum had done the spell many times herself, that Vivian already knew it off by heart. The twists and turns of the castle confused the 11 year old girl, but she was determined to find the library.  Find it she did. Vivian quickly made her way to the restricted section and then the dark magic section.

If she could turn back time...
she would.
