Black Magic

A/N:

Hey! This is a new story my friends and I are writing about The Wizarding World of Harry Potter but the next Generation.

Prologue

Part I

Katherine

Hi, I'm Katherine Jones. I have a normal life but just no friends. My parents are dentists. I'm the top of my class but weird things always happen to me. For example, once a bully was chasing me and suddenly on the roof of the school. I don't hang around like other people because I am always caught up in my studies.

Right now I am lying in bed studying. School starts in a few days and I will be going Square Sitius middle school. It's a school for very intelligent students.

While I was reading my history book, I heard a tap coming from my window. A looked over and saw a grey owl holding an envelope in its claw.

I quickly opened the window and let the owl in. The owl dropped the letter on my bed and sarted flying around my room and made a huge racket. I took the envelope and observed it. On the back of the envelope, it said:

Ms K. Jones

The bedroom next to her parents

18 Athena Drive

London

England

The envelope was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment, and the address was written in emerald-green ink. There was no stamp.

Turning the envelope over, my hands trembling, I saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.

I opened the letter and inside it said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmistress: Minerva McGonagall

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of wizards)

Dear Ms Jones,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Victoria Martel

Deputy Headmistress

P.S. I will send a responsible person to help you get your stuff at Diagon Alley on August 30th.

I was so happy i started jumping up and down. The owl must've gotten some euphoria from me because it started hooting and flapping its wings loudly. "Shhhhhhh! My parents have guests downstairs!" I hissed at the owl. The owl wouldn't stop hooting so I tried stuffing it in a suitcase but the owl still flew out.

I finally silenced the bloody owl, but it was too late. My parents opened the door and saw me sitting there with an owl flying around the room and the letter in my hands.

"What is this...ANIMAL doing in my house! Also, what does the letter say?" my mother asked. I tried to hide it but my mom was quick. She snatched the letter from me and read it through. I expected to see an angry look on her face but instead she had tears of joy forming in her eyes. She passed the letter to my dad and ran over to give me a gigantic hug. "Why were you hiding it from us? I'm so proud of you! A witch in family! I should get you a gift! You can go to Diagon Alley with that responsible person she was talking about. You better tell the school you're going. Oh my gosh! My little girl is a witch!" my mother gushed.

I was so happy with her reaction. She took me out for my favourite restaurant and went home in a happy mood. I had such a great and tiring day that I fell asleep when my head hit the pillow.
