<strong>August, 2003 - The Reunion</strong><br/>Adelaide was just over six years old and she was running through the garden of her families quiet little ranch house. Her parents had been in the kitchen preparing dinner watching their wonderful god-send run around in the farm, playing with all the animals. A kind sole, that is what her parents always called Addy, but she knew she was different. Her family was half magic, but they never let Addy know that, not wanting her to know that she might not be. Running through the tall grass that came up very tall around her, she was running from the horse, playing tag in her mind. Of coarse the horse was just sitting there. Adelaide tripped over a rock and fell down, laughing. Her parents waited for her cries, but only heard laughter so they continued with dinner preparations.<br/><br/>"Give us our child back" Nagendra had said in a dark cold voice standing behind the two foster parents. Both of them whipped around not hearing the intruder come in.<br/><br/>"What are you talking about?" Responded the foster mother.<br/><br/>"Adelaide is our child, appeared, by God, on our doorstep six years ago. Get out, now! Or we will call the police." Said the out of practice wizard foster father stepping in front of his wife.<br/><br/>Quickly Adelaide's real parents laughed, Hadian standing behind his wife waiting for the moment to do what they came to do. Nagendra rolled her eyes, figuring she wasn't going to get anywhere she walked back to her husband and turned around to face them. They quickly performed the killing curse on the two parents. Not really reveling in the feat they looked out the window at their new-found daughter, so many years had already past.<br/><br/><strong>April 7th, 2008 - Happy Acceptance</strong><br/>Adelaide woke up to the wonderful smell of food and laughter in the house. It was 10 o'clock. She had never been able to sleep this late. Sitting up abruptly she was worried she would get in trouble. Jumping out of bed she put on clothes quick and a pair of sandals and ran up the stairs onto the main level of the quaint three story house. The smells were getting stronger and the laughter louder, as she reached the top step she realized it was her birthday and laughed a little to herself. She turned to go back to the house where the kitchen/living room was situated. Taking a breath she walked into the open and was instantly met with happy 'good-mornings birthday girl' and 'finally'. Laughing she walked towards them. Her two seven year old twin siblings, Onyx and Theo, ran up to her smiling and with a big present between them.<br/><br/>"Here, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open!" They shouted in unison, giggling between themselves, glancing back at the family. Adelaide sat on the couch and pushed the needy twins away, they sat on the ground right in front of her. The whole family giggled, even Tobias, as Adelaide opened to big box to find another box in it. This repeated about seven times until a tiny little box was left at the bottom. Rolling her eyes sarcastically she looked up at them. "Really, you guys?" She asked as she opened the box. There was nothing in it. Disappointed and confused she looked up at her parents, full of confusion. The twins stood up, and her parents simply told her to toss it in the air. Adelaide obeyed with much more confusion than anything before. As the box reached it's top point the whole family said a quick word and landing in Adelaide's hands was a letter. The whole family shouted and gleamed at her as she opened her letter:<br/><br/><em>Dear Ms. Tanith,<br/><br/>We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Your term will begin the first of September. We await your response by no later than 31 July, 2008.<br/>Yours Sincerely,<br/><br/>Saren Octavius<br/>Headmaster</em><br/><br/>Finishing the letter, she jumped from her seat on the couch and ran to her family motioning the twins to come after her. Letter still in hand she ran into their arms. Even the moody, 15 year-old Tobias, came in for the hug. "I finally got my letter, I was so nervous!" Adelaide said, shaking with excitement. "Yes, you did, we were never nervous for a second, honey." Replied her father, Hadian. The twins and the rest of the family congratulated her.<br/><br/><strong>June 22nd - Supplies</strong><br/>The Tanith's were a relatively large family, but they were good at keeping to themselves. Not everybody exactly knew them walking down the street, more knew of them. The whole family was walking down Diagon Alley relatively slowly. They have only taken Adelaide with them once before, so it was still relatively new. And, of coarse, completely different since they were attending for her now. The twins pulled on both her sides. "C'mon, Berry. Let's go to Weasley's!" They were excited for now, they wanted to go play. Nagendra and Hadrian grabbed Theo and Onyx quickly. "So, dear, where do you want to start?" Asked her mother calmly. The twins wouldn't sit still, so Nagendra rolled her eyes and turned to Tobias, for him to take the twins. Instead, he was gone. "I will meet up with you two at Madam Malkin's in... Half an hour?" Nagendra muttered to them before the twins dragged her away.<br/><br/>Her father turned to her and smiled a big fatherly smile. Odd, for they were in public and the family stayed relatively mellow in public. "Why don't you start with a wand, Addy?" Hadian asked smoothly, hand on her shoulder. Adelaide was taken back by how many people were there, but excited at the same time. She nodded quickly, always quiet in newer places. Hadian smiled again, then turned his head to see the twins giving his wife a hard time. He turned back to his daughter and gave her some galleons. "Here. Meet us at Malkin's in half an hour. Don't feel afraid to make friends." He stated calmly, giving her a hug and pointing towards Olivander's. The hug was odd, never displayed in public. Adelaide nodded again and hugged him back. She watched him walk away and then turned toward's the wand shop.<br/><br/>Weaving her way through the crowd quickly she was watching everybody, and listening. It is what she usually did. Staring up at the sign as she got near she bumped a few shoulders, apologized. Walking forward again, she could see the door. Glancing up at the sign again, she tripped over something on the floor. She was known as a klutz, but sheesh. She caught herself pretty well before hitting the floor that hard. She quickly stood up and turned around. Seeing two people, seemingly conversing, she felt embarrassed. "Oh, my!" Adelaide said, relatively quiet. They were her age, and she managed a little smile. "I am so sorry, firstly for tripping over you, and secondly for interrupting the conversation." She said quickly, looking from Gerin to Cat at the second point. Snapping her head back to Giren she asked quickly with a giggle, "but, why were you on the floor?" She held out her hand to help him up, in case she had knocked him down or something or the sort.
