Present, August 31st:
I stand in the shower, letting the hot water run down my body. We've lived here three months and it still doesn't feel like home. I can't help but chew my nails as I stand there, feeling more anxious than ever. Tomorrow I start my first day at Hogwarts school of which craft and wizardry. Even though I'll be starting with the rest of the sixth years, I feel like a first year all over again. What if they don't except me like they did at Durmstrang? What if I don't end up in a house and get kicked out? What if no one likes me?
'Stop'
I tell my self. There's no need to worry. You'll do just fine. I turn the water off and rap my towel around myself as I exit the bathroom. I pull my pajamas on and hop into bed. Before I turn the lights off I reach over to my night stand and grab my wand. The wooden stick is light in my hand.
(A/n: Alison has already bought all the stuff she needs for Hogwarts including a wand.)
I admire the beautiful carving and patterns of the wand before setting it back down and turning out the lights. My tired eyes droop and my worried mind drifted to a place three months ago where everything was just as it should be.

Three months ago, June 1st:
I flew around the quiditch field with Viktor tailing me closely. I smiled and sped up as I urged my firebolt along faster and faster. The wind rushed past my face and roared in my ears. I'd never felt so alive. I'd been training with Viltor Krum for some time now. He was teaching me how to be a seeker. He said that I had amazing potential on a broom, and that I just needed to put it to good use. I slowed a bit and hovered in midair waiting for Krum to reach me. Once he did he looked and me and gave me a small, sad smile.
"I am going to miss you very, very much Alison."
Krum stated.
"The feeling's mutuel."
I replied, returning the melancholy smile. Ever since last month my life had been quiet depressing. My parents had sent me a letter at the beginning of May containing unwelcome news.

'Dear Alison's,'
It had read.
     Me and your father regret to inform you that we have decided to relocate the family to London. We are offering you a choice. You may remain at Durmstrang for your remaining years after the summer, just like any other year, or you could transfer to Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry. It is up to you, but do keep in mind that Hogwarts would be much closer to home and your family. Please let us know before the end of the month so we can file the paper work and contact the head professor of Hogwarts, should you choose to leave. Remember to follow your heart!
        Much love,
           Mum and Dad

I had 6 days left at Durmstrang, and I still hasn't told Professor Karkaroff that I would not be returning next year. I had decided that sticking close by my family is what I needed to do, so that's what was I was going do. The first person I had told had been my best friend Viktor Krum. Considering I'm the only girl at the school, funding true friends had been hard, but Krum had yet to let me down. He'd been devastated that I was leaving, but had understood why I had to go.

I left quiditch training early and headed for Professor Karkaroff's office, prepared to tell him the devastating news. I knocked on the door and was greeted by a gruff male voice.
"Come in!"
I slowly entered the office and made my way to his desk.
"AH! Alison! It's a pleasure to we you! So tell me, how are you?"
"Fine sir, and yourself?"
I asked.
"Delightful. Thought I just admit, I will miss you and the boys over the summer. But there's always next year!"
"Actually sir, that's what I'm here to talk to you about."
I said cautiously.
"I'm afraid I won't be returning next year. My parents have relocated us, and I've decided to remain near then and I'm enrolling at Hogwarts."
Karkaroff's face pales. He seems angered and sad.
"Well my dear, it's been a pleasuring have you here. You've truly shown these boys what it's like to be brave and a hero. I will miss you dearly."
"And I will miss you. Thank you for all you've taught me and accepting me here. I will miss it greatly."
I can feel myself on the verge of tears, and I never cry. I haven't cried since I got here. Durmstrang meant stuffing all emotions down and becoming a fearless worrier. But I wasn't fearless anymore. I was terrified. Me and Krum had always been Karkaroff's favorites. Even though I was younger, I could take down almost all the boys here.
"Good luck. Be strong. Do not give into fear. Be yourself."
Says Karkaroff's.
I smile and nod my head as I leave his office.

The week passes in a blue and soon I'm making sure everything is packed before departing for home. I look at Krum who stands beside me and engulf him in a hug.
"I will miss you dearly, Ali."
He says, using the nickname he gave to me so long ago.
"Promise to write. I'll miss you greatly. Goodbye dear friend."
And with that I walk away from all I've ever know and walk unknowingly towards my new life.

*Back to present. Next chapter will be starting on September 1st, there first day of school.*
