That one Slytherin

The letter

I wiped a tear from my eye. I placed one last item into my trunk before closing it tightly. I am moving to London to live with my aunt. I love my aunt, but I don't want to live with her.

My mother had died a month ago, leaving me with no guardian. This meant my aunt took control of things and adopted me.

I gazed at my Ilvermony uniform in the corner. I wasn't going to be able to use it again. I will never be called a Thunderbird again. Instead, I will be called whatever they call students at Hogwarts. If that's what it's called.

"Delana!" My aunt called up the stairs for me. I quickly grabbed my uniform and thrust it in my trunk. Closing it once more.

She knocked on my door and stuck her head in. "Are you ready?"

I nodded, she swisher her wand. Levitating my trunks off of my bed and out the door. I followed them downstairs.

"Now. Grab hold of your trunks. We'll be using a portkey." She instructed me.

I nodded and grabbed hold of two trunks. She grabbed the last and linked one of my arms with hers.

"Accio Portley!" The wool hate flew towards her aunts hand, and we disappeared disappeared.

We appeared in the middle of a nicely decorated living room.

"Why didn't we just apparate?" I asked my aunt while untangling myself from her.

"I figured this would be less suspicious. Considering that you live in a muggle neighborhood. I don't know what sane witch would want to live in the middle of a big city like Boston." My aunts posh British accent only makes her statement sound hilarious. I couldn't help but snort at her. At which she gave me a light smack.

She waved her wand at my trunks once more. "Your bedroom is upstairs, last door at the end of the hall. I will show you there. School starts in two weeks. We will have to go to Diagon Alley soon for supplies. What say we go tomorrow?"

I nodded and followed her upstairs. I was scared to be starting a new school. Ilvermony was basically my home. And now I had to go to a new one? Called Hogwarts? Seriously, what kind of name was that.

She opened the door to my room and guided the trunks inside. "I'll leave you to unpack. Dinner will be ready within the hour."

With that, she left me alone in my new room. I sat there for a second before standing up and reaching for the first trunk. I opened it and began placing things inside drawers and the closet.

I was almost finished with my second trunk when I came across my old Thunderbird uniform. I shoved it in the back of my closet and finished putting away the rest of my clothes.

Once I was finished, I went downstairs to the kitchen where my aunt was making supper.

I watched her hurry around the kitchen, stirring things and pulling things out of the oven for a while before getting bored. I walked around her house exploring. I came across a door.

I opened it. It led to a garden. I stepped outside. I heard rustling by my feet. I looked down. Next to my right foot was a dirty garden gnome. How annoying. I turned around and went back inside, I didn't feel like dealing with one of those right now.

"Delana! Foods ready!" I heard my aunt calling from the kitchen.

I went into the kitchen to see the counter coveted with food.

"Are you sure we can eat this much?" I asked uncertainly.

"Oh, of course not. Do not worry about that. My friend should be here right about... Now." As she finished her sentence, the fireplace in the room next to the kitchen flashed green, and two people came tumbling out.

"Mr. Lee!" My aunt raced over to the man. "Are you okay?"

He nodded and reached his hand out to the person next to him. "Heeseung, are you okay?"

Heeseung stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine."

I had assumed they were both adults, but Heeseung looked more around my age.

"Well. Mr. Lee, this is my niece Delana. She will be attending Hogwarts with Heeseung."

Heeseung smiled at me. "You'll like it. You're from Ilvermony, right?"

I nodded.

"You don't talk? That's alright. American accents are kind of annoying." He went over to an island stool and sat down.

"Heeseung! Apologize now!" Mr. Lee demanded.

"It's fine." I said. I also took a seat at the island. Just farther away from Heeseung.

"So. Mr. Lee. When are you bringing Heeseung to Diagon Alley? I still have to bring Delana. We should go together."

Excuse me? I would rather go alone if I'm being truthful.

"That sounds like a good idea. Are you off tomorrow?" My aunt nodded and the man sat down in a chair at the table while my aunt started dishing out plates.

"Meet us at the Leaky Cauldron at 10 in the morning." My aunt waved her wand and the plates flew towards us. Landing safely in front of us.

Mr. Lee gave her a thumbs up and began to eat. We followed his lead.

I finished my food as fast I could and attempted to leave the room. But my aunt stopped me.

"Delana. I hope your not trying to leave Heeseung behind. Go show him around." I looked a the tall boy, who was also done eating.

I sighed. "Fine. Come on."
