Cora Ravenwing [antikvár]

Chapter 1 ^ A Curse The school where i first met cora ravenwing was called Okington School, and I was just beginning to have real ideas and opinions of my own when I first went there. There were seventeen of us in the class—all girls. I was the oldest of three children. My name was Rebecca Stokes; some people called me Becky, some Stokie, and the teachers always stuck to Rebecca in full. My brother Joseph was six when I started at Okington, and little Dorian was two. My father was a businessman, in textiles, and my mother, who had been a teacher, was now at home all the time looking after us. It didn't take me long to feel settled at Okington, though I hadn't wanted to move schools. We'd moved house because of my father's work and I just had to move schools too. My best friends at Okington were Hermione Phillips, Barbara Foster and Susan Spenser. We had our desks in a block near the front of the class and usually we worked quite hard at the lessons and didn't get into much trouble.
