My name is princess Vasilissa Silena Draconi of Ira, heiress to the throne of Ira.
Bordering right next to Italy, we have pretty warm Mediterranean climate, tall mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and some of the most popular touristic cities.
It's safe to say that I love it here.

If you don't already know it, I'm not only the future Queen of Ira, but also a witch.
My family possesses magic since hundreds of years, when the first settlers came to Ira, unknowingly crowning a witch queen. My family always had an affinity with performing wand-less magic and transfiguration, which made us one of the most powerful magical families.

My best friend Alexander also possesses magic, making him a wizard.
His father is not only the most trusted general, but also a retired auror and best friend to my father. His family, as old as mine, had always performed powerful curses and a mix between physical and magical fighting, making them unpredictable. The Herondale family supported my family since the start of their rule.

My father, King Malakai and my mother Queen Diana Leonora Draconi are both exceptional wizards, ruling the country for over 15 years together. Under their rule, Ira became more democratic and peaceful, making it a safe place for all groups of people.

The combined effort of our parents made sure, Voldemort and his followers could never build a network here, like they did in Britain.
The thing Voldemort archived here was the forming of a small terrorist group, doing everything in their power to destabilise our nation.
Their efforts made them and us, a high priority target for the death eaters, which is the reason both families decided to train Alex to be my bodyguard.
After his eight birthday, they started to train him in martial arts and elevated spells. Me, the annoying eight year old I was, tagged along and begged to participate. Luckily my parents had the opinion that I should be able to protect myself.
After this, we spent every training together, doing sparring, shooting each other with spells and riding our pegasi.

We both found them in the woods, about five years ago, when we explored the forest. We brought them back with us, became friends with them and trained with them, since then I always felt safer on my Pegasus back than on a broom.

When I was twelve, I graduated from my private primary school in Ira.
That was when my parents decided that I must complete my education in different parts of the world and only in the most renowned schools.
So I went to Beauxbaton when I was 12, to Durmstrang when I was 14 and now, I'm 15 and I'll go to Hogwarts, attending year four.

In France and Bulgaria we met our best friends, Viktor and Fleur.
Right by my side was and will be Alex.
Join us for our most adventurous year yet, a magical tournament, a bad guy trying to regain power and the dangers that follows,when you have royal blood in your veins.
