The Girl on the Platform

There was once a family, one of a revered name, who could speak to snakes. This trait was passed down through their children, whose magic was so strong, even the great Salazar Slytherin held a lot of respect for this family.

Except a new fire is kindling; Ophelia, a bright, intelligent girl, who's abilities might reawaken the ancients of the magic world. A girl left at an orphanage by a father who could not care for her. A girl whose only friend is a parselmouth, just like her. A girl who is far less human than she lets on...
