Sure, you could say I'm not an average person. Well… what tipped you off? Was it that no one talks to me? Or the fact that everyone who walks by me either giggles or makes some nasty comment. My grandfather always told me that I was special. He never told me why… but told me that when I turned eleven it would all make sense to me. Well… here I am, five years after my eleventh birthday… and does it makes sense? No, cause nothing spectacular ever happened to me when I was eleven. I guess I should have believed my parents when they told me to forget what my gramps said. But I was too hooked on his stories of witches and wizards, spells and the use of dark magic. Boy was I in for some disappointment. Course, gramps told me that it would come in a letter… brought by sommat he called the owl post. I watched owls… and never once did one bring me any mail. After I turned twelve, I stopped believing my gramps stories about a world full of magic.

Anyway, five years later… yeah that's right… five years later, I was in the parking lot of Avala High School waiting for my mother. Even though it was the beginning of August and school didn't start for another month, I was sitting in the school parking lot, all because of one failed science grade. I had to take a sophomore science class during the summer, because someone (who will remain nameless) ruined my final project which counted for a great majority of my grade. So there I was sitting on a bench while waiting for my mother. I heard the roar of the engine right before the Ferrari speeded by, splattering me with muddy water from a puddle. Over the sound of the engine was uncontrollable laughter. I growled, as I stood up and attempted to get some water off of me. A group of the popular kids walked by and laughed at me. One of the girls stepped forward and glanced over my sopping figure.

"Vadaris," She said, sugar-coating her tone. "Halloween isn't for another month or two… so why are you wearing your costume already?"

At that exact moment my mother pulled up to the curb. I grumbled something unintelligent and climbed into the car while laughter exploded behind me. Thankfully, my mother said nothing of it.

"Stupid, slutty, bimbos…." I muttered under my breath.

When we got home I went upstairs and took a hot shower and slid into my most comfortable pjs.

A month flew by and I was in much the same situation as before. I got picked up from school and took a shower. One day, I wandered downstairs and looked at my mother who had gotten the mail just a few seconds before. She was gaping at a letter that looked rather old. I asked her what it was and peered over her shoulder, only to find it was addressed to me. I looked at my mother and asked her what this was. She said nothing but said that I couldn't have it till my father got home. I sighed dramatically and half-walked half-danced out of the room. I'm actually a very talented dancer. I went back up to my room and climbed out the window. I swung myself up onto the flat roof of the house and stared up at the stars, wondering what it would be like to fly. To get away from this life for one school year. I started thinking about my grandfathers stories. I find myself doing this often, just to remember him. The way his eyes would light up when I asked him for a story was one of the things I liked to remember most about the man who had passed away when I was thirteen. I brushed the thoughts away as headlights flashed in the driveway.

I slipped back into my room and practically ran down the stairs to greet my father. He caught me just as I jumped off the stairs. He set me down with a grunt, claiming I was far to heavy to do that anymore. I pouted and shuffled into the kitchen. My parents and I ate dinner and dad watched TV while mom and I did the dishes. My mother then shooed me out of the kitchen and my father went to talk to her. After sometime of shouting and arguing, they called me down from my room. My father had a pained look on his face, as did my mother. They made me sit down at the kitchen table while they both stood across from me.

My first thought was what did I do? But then I realized it was confession time. My parents only did this when they had something major to tell me. Like when they gave me the sex talk… boy was that humiliating. I sat there as they tried to figure out how to start.

"Would you guys just tell me already?" I blurted out

My mother looked at me and sighed, I expected something much different than what came out.

"There is no easy way to say this," my mother began. "So I'm just going to tell you straight out… you're a half blood."

"I'm a what now?" I asked utterly confused

My dad looked at me sheepishly and explained:

"Well, look Nips," He said, using an old pet name. "I'm not your real father…"

This was a revelation to me…

"Whhhhhhaaaattttttt?" Was the only thing I could get out.

"Look honey, we were never going to tell you…" My mom said "But then this came." She fished out the letter I had seen earlier from a drawer and handed it to me.

I opened the letter, not sure of what I might find. It told me that I was accepted to a place called Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. There was another sheet of paper telling me what school items I would need. I dropped the letter and looked at my mom and apparently a man I had no connection to.

"Wait this is a joke right?" I said, unsure of the answer.

"No, dear," said my mother "This is all real."

"So… wait… if I'm a half blood then, I'm half human and half…. What?"

My mother looked like she was about to cry when she answered with:

"Half fairy."

I was shocked. My mother tried to tell me other things but I was in my own thought process at that point. I vaguely remember her saying that we would get all my school supplies tomorrow. But it wasn't as significant as the thought that was going through my head.

My name, is Juniper Vadaris… and I'm half fairy.
