The castle stood proudly in the distance, she took it all in, the magnificence and wonder.. and more importantly, the fact that this was to be her home from now on. It didn't matter that she wanted to be back at her family home in Firkin's Throw, nor did it matter that she was mature enough to look after herself, no, her Aunt was to be her guardian until she reached 18 wether she liked it or not.

Was she leaving much behind though? Really? After all, Tiriun was too ingrossed in Georgina to notice her anymore, she was friend zoned with a capital F.

Her father spent weeks on end drinking away his latest winnings before passing out in pub doorways, and her poor mother forgetting more and more each day in the care home, was there anywhere else to go?

No.

Her mothers sister was all she really had left.....
She dragged her bags up the steps and into the entrance, dodging the students who seemed to rush past without a care in the world. So much weight sat on her 17 year old shoulders.

"Excuse me? Do you know where I can find Albus Dumbledore's office?" She asked politely but confidently. Although deep inside she was insecure, after the rejection who wouldn't be? She was never one to show weakness.

"Yeah, If you take the moving staircase it will lead you right to it. I can take you there if you like?" The girl smiled openly. "Are you sure? I don't want to be any trouble.." she replied, "Oh, no! It's no bother at all, I wasn't doing anything anyway. I have a free period you see, and I'm meant to be studying but I think the nargles are determined to..." the blonde haired girl rambled on, grabbing one of the bags and zooming ahead.

The staircase's moved as expected, an awkward silence occurred whilst awaiting the stairs to align with the platform they were stood on. "I'm Luna by the way, Luna Lovegood. What's your name?" The rather angelic girl asked. "Olivia, Olivia Rickman." The newcomer replied.

"I can wait for you, if you'd like?" Luna smiled, pointing towards Olivia's bags. "No, I'll be ok from here. Thanks for the help Luna." Olivia chuckled, "Oh, it's no problem at all, hopefully I will see you around!" Luna beamed, zooming off again.

Dumbledore's office door swung open and a man with a black bat like cape and greasy raven hair stormed out, leaving an old wizard with a long white beard stood in the doorway.

"Move Child!" The intimidating figure boomed with a scowl, and swished down the stairs.
"What's wrong with Ozzy Osbourne?" Olivia growled with eyes narrowing at the duke of dickhead as he changed level.

"Aah, You must be Miss Rickman! your aunt told me you would be arriving today, she will be along soon! Do come in!" The headmaster beamed with a broad smile.....
