11 years ago, a girl was born into a strict and unloving household. 
The girls father was a wizard who kept his magical abilities secret from the muggle world. He met a fairly attractive women whom he fell in love with. Together, the got married and had a little girl; Anna. 
They were going to live a normal-muggle-filled life until Anna’s dad told her that she was a witch. He told her that some day she will learn witchcraft and make him proud. He made sure that she knew that not everyone will accept her as a wizard, like her mother, and that she would just have to accept that. 

One unfaithful day, Anna’s mother found out and was very frightened. Her mother started drinking and starting abusing her father. Not long after, Anna’s mother started beating her and not just her father. It was a tough life to live but Anna’s dad continued to tell her stories about the school he went to; Hogwarts. The place she will go when she turns 11 and the place she will learn magic and make her father proud and maybe her mother as well. 

The night of April 6, Anna’s 9th birthday, her father disappeared without a trace. Anna assumed he went to go to the wizard world to get her a present but he didn’t return. Rumor had is it that he committed suicide because he couldn’t handle the abuse from his wife, but Anna firmly believed that he is out in the wizard world and he will come back for her. 

One night, she decided she wasn’t going to just sit and wait for her dad to come save her, she was going to learn about the wizarding world. She snuck downstairs every night reading the books he left behind, even though she didn't have a wand to practice with. She became fascinated with the stories and spells and how they worked.  She always liked books, she especially loved mystery books. 
This went on for a couple of months until her mother found her reading these books. Her mother, who was far from sober, threw the books and other possessions that once belonged to Anna's father into the fire. This, Anna thought, was worse than any beating. For now, any thing that remotely reminded her of her father was just a pile of ash sitting at the bottom of a brick fireplace.

The following morning, Anna woke up on the itchy and wet grass. She assumed her mother threw her out last night but everything was a blur to Anna. Warm tears swelled up behind her eyelids and soon enough, warm tears started trickling down her face as she put her head on her legs and started to sob.
But then..
Woosh.
Anna looked up to find her making direct eye contact with some sort of odd barn owl that was above a letter that had just recently fallen down. It was looking at her as if it was telling her to take the letter and open it, and that's exactly what she did.

That's how Anna's story began but how, she wonders, will it end?
