A Submissive To Two

Chapter 1

~Rose~

     I sat in the hidden compartment in my closet hiding from my Uncle Alex. He was angry again, nothing good ever comes when he's angry. It's always my fault because he thinks I'm doing magic, especially if something goes missing or accidents happen. He always blames it on me and thinks I'm trying to ruin his " perfect image".
     Last summer he broke two of my ribs when the printer broke. When the basil in the garden died he kicked me down the stairs and slammed my arm into the coat closet door. When I tried to learn to play the piano he broke three of my fingers slamming the cover down on my hands. He started screaming about how scum shouldn't be allowed to learn the fine arts and touch such beautiful things.
     All he cares about is his image, he's a businessman so it makes sense but sometimes I think he just goes to far. He never lets me out of the house when I stay for the summer, he locks me in the basement when he has company over and if I make any noise he whips me with a chain belt. 
I often wondered how I was still alive.
My only saving grace is an American School of Witchcraft. I get ten months of safety and comfort and Alex is always ecstatic because he can rid the house of me and spend just two months with me a year. I hate those two months more than he does. I'm always hungry, I'm practically a slave, and on top of everything else I'm forced to live in a tiny room that can only fit a bed and a small dresser.
    The reason Alex is so angry today, and why I ended up getting kicked down the stairs again is because my school is getting shut down, it's too close to the public eye now and they plan to tear it down and build muggle houses there. I have no where else to go and he's livid.
    I had one last hope though, during a pen pal project in my school I made friends with a British wizard by the name of Ron Weasley. He goes to a school called Hogwarts and he knows a fair amount about my unfortunate situation. I knew before the end of school year that it would be closing down and he's been trying to convince the school's headmaster to allow me to transfer. This would be my sixth year if I got into the school.
     This year would also be the year I turn sixteen so my creature inharitance would take place, I knew that I at least wasn't fully human. Plenty of things that should have killed me I survived, I heal far too quickly and sometimes I can see strange foggy glows around people that no one else sees.
I was snapped from my thoughts by the sound of Alex slamming the front door open and I knew he was going to check around the neighborhood to see if I had tried to run away. I opened the tiny door in the side of my closet and crawled out just hearing tires screech as Alex drove down the street.
I jerked at the sound of the glass panes on my window being tapped. My owl Willow was perched on the ceil waiting patiently. I opened the window for her and she flew in with two letters tied to her leg. One was Ron's messy hand writing and the other was one had a wax seal with an H no doubt from the Hogwarts head master. I opened the on with the H on it first.
Dear Rose,
You have been invited to come to the Hogwarts School of which craft and wizardry. I look forward to seeing you at the school the Hogwarts Express train is on platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross in London the train will depart September 1 at 9:30 a.m sharp. Your school supply list is on the next page. We are glad to have you come to us after such an unfortunate happening and will do our very best to make your experience the best it can possibly be.
Sincerely, Hogwarts headmaster,
Albus Dumbledore.

I quickly skimmed through the school supply list before opening Ron's letter.
Hey Rose,
I did my best to get Dumbledore to let you in, I think you've got it though see you soon I hope. Oh and owl me if you you need anything.

-- Ron

I got out a pencil and a piece of paper and wrote,
Hey Ron,
I got accepted into Hogwarts thank you so much! Just one problem, I can't get there. Can you help me? It would be much appreciated I'll be waiting.
