Chapter One
Delta stepped out of the water, wringing her hair. Her brother Caspian suddenly splashed her so she would turn around and leap back in.
"Come on!" She giggled, pushing his head under the surface. He scrambled around, trying to pull himself up. A hand shot up out of the water, holding a wand. Caspian arose from the surface, spluttering and coughing.
"Y-You nearly..." the two looking down uncomfortably: the thought of drowning brought back atrocious memories.
Delta was wrapped in a purple towel, sitting at the dinner table. Tomorrow she was off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her trunk was settled beside her brother's, they were twins.
"Turns out Caspian forgot to purchase an owl while we were out getting all of your school things," her mother rolled her eyes, chuckling as she locked the front door. Caspian grinned and glanced sideways at Delta.
"Right, dinner." She brandished her wand and immediately started moving pots and pans. "I think we should have a roast dinner outside as you two are leaving me tomorrow." Demi frowned.
"Mum, it's not like it's forever!" Delta grinned, standing up with Caspian to go outside.
"Ah, I'm old. Anyway, run along you two!" Demi chuckled, pushing them towards a he door gently. The duo rushed out and took out their wands.
"Ready?!" Caspian grinned, it was their first time doing magic. Delta nodded eagerly.
"Go!" She flicked her phoenix feather wand up. The long tables arose from the floor. They moved them together, but soon decided to play a game with them. She knocked her table into Caspian's, making his shatter.
"Reparo." Delta smiled. The two decided that they should just play on brooms.
"Now. I've invited some of your new classmates-"
"WHAT?!"
"So remember your manners," she smiled, setting the food onto the large tables. The back door suddenly fell ajar and what looked like thousands of people walked in. A boy with long black hair caught Delta's eye, he was scrabbling in a playful manner with a boy with messy black hair and glasses donned.
"I'm very glad you all came. Let's eat!" Demi smiled, making the plates fall to the table with food.
A boy with unkept brown hair sat down beside her, the two boys who had been fighting opposite him and her.
"Remus Lupin," the boy with brown hair smiled pleasantly, holding out a scarred hand. Delta took it and shook it.
"Delta. Delta Admon." She beamed back at him.
"Are you excited or nervous about starting school tomorrow?"
"I guess I'm pretty excited, yet nervous." The two giggled. The boys opposite them shot a smirk at each other then turned to Delta.
"So, your dad is a centaur, right?" Delta was taken aback. It was a while till she replied.
"Oh, yeah... why?"
"That's pretty cool, isn't it James?" He nudged his friend, who was currently stuffing his face.
"What? Oh, yeah. Your mum is a pretty good cook." He grinned, dropping the chicken leg he was gnawing on his plate obediently. Delta giggled and looked up into the night sky.
