History

On Christmas Eve night her parents were found dead and no one could ever figure out who or why they were killed. An since there was no attack on her or her older brother it was written off as bad luck. Since then she and her older brother Vladimir lived together in their family home in Russia where she attended school. It wasn't until her upcoming sixth year that her brother decided to pack them off to England so he could handle some business that needed his particular attention. So she left everything she was familiar with and the one person she loved to follow the brother that had taken care of him since she was seven years old. Even though she dreaded England (and leaving a certain someone behind) she was excited to make a change and get the chance to be her own person.

Acceptance Letter Response

Anya lay absolutely still as she listened to some of her favorite songs on the wireless a few feet away from her. She was waiting for her brother to get back from the local pub he had taken to frequent since they moved in only a week ago. Her eyes started to close as a slow song came on, they always made her feel sleepy almost instantly.

Her fingers curled into the sheets as she tried to keep herself awake, but was too tired to change the song. She finally managed to grab her wand and quickly changed the station, sighing in relief as a faster pace song started to play from the speakers. She started to hum along as she wondered what school she would be attending the coming year. She really didn't know the school system here and cursed Victor for leaving it up to her. Some big brother he was being.

Just as she was ready to call it a night a soft tapping noise caught her attention. Her head turned to glance at her window and was surprised to find an owl there. There was no one she knew that would try to contact her. She reluctantly rolled out of bed and opened the window. "What are you doing here?" She asked the owl curiously, stroking it's ruffled feathers. The owl glanced up at her before poking out it's leg and she untied the letter quickly. Before she could say anything else the owl had taken off.

Anya rolled her eyes before closing the window with a sharp snap. She plopped back onto her head and rolled her piercing around in her mouth, curious about the addressing: Anya Malkov, 2nd floor bedroom. She ripped the seal and pulled out the parchment, eager to see what someone had sent her. Her eyes skimmed and the words accepted and Hogwarts stood out. Apparently she had been accepted to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "Well... that takes care of that problem." She said softly to herself.
