The whole idea of magic freaked her out, so she never told me about it, hoping that my dad didn't pass that "curse" to me. I guess my letter to Hogwarts came the summer before last, but she kept it away from me. A lot of weird things always happened around me, so i got in lots of trouble at school. So after one bad incident, I got kicked out. While cleaning up at home, I can across the letter from Hogwarts. I asked my mom why she kept it from me, telling her that it made sense, that I must be a witch because of all the things that happened around me. So she told me if I wanted to be a "freak" that is would be best if I left and came here with the other "freaks"......... So her I am. Christine finished, wondering if she said too much and if Elan would look at her funny.
Elan listened as she told her story. It seemed awful that her mom would be so mean to her, and keep her from her dad. "Well, I guess welcome to the freak place." He smiled. "My dad is the non magical one. He wasn't real excited about me being a wizard, but he says it's part of me so I need to develop it."

She smiled at the other first year when Elan introduced, "Hi there! How are you doing girls?" she asked casually and back to concentrating the food.
Elan blushed. "I'm sorry. I guess I should have let you tell the others about you. Welcome to our first year at Hogwarts." Elan felt comfortable around Ella, but she was so much older than him.
