The Past is not in the Past

Chapter 1: How it all began....

1st POV

On a extremely muggy and hot July morning, I woke up in discomfort and displeasure. My brothers thought it would be funny to jump on top of me and see my reaction. Well, they weren't too pleased when they found themselves being sat on and head locked by a very pissed off sixteen year old girl. They managed to escape and decided to go bother my mum. Looking toward a nearby clock it read 6:00 a.m.

"Great," I thought sarcastically, "Just what I needed on a Saturday morning. Might as well get dressed. No point in mopping around and trying to get to sleep."

As I went to my mirror to try and disentangle my long gold brown, I noticed my Harry Potter books laying around in the mess I call my room. Being the avid fan I am, I decided to re-read The Order of the Phoenix for the 16th time that month. Now as you can plainly see, I am quite the fan of this magically book and its inhabitants, but none more so then those belonging to the age of the Marauders. Both me and my close friend Ella have, what some call an obsession with them. I prefer to call it a very interesting and time consuming pastime (Simply put, an obsession). After reading a few chapters, I decided to take a shower because well, I stunk as my brothers, Ivan and Ryan, so politely put it. The shower was quick and refreshing, and as I left I noticed my reflection. Nothing abnormal, just a common New York teenager. Average brown eyes, average shoulder length brown-gold hair, average weight, average height, average EVERYTHING!!! How I WISH something exciting could happen! God, WHAT I would give for magic to be real, even for just a little while!

Get yourself together! I told myself It will NEVER be real. So stop whining and grow up.

This was my daily routine. Sad isn't it? Wish for magic to be real, tell myself to get over it, and then back to the same thing tomorrow.

Oh well, another morning, and hopefully an adventure will come, finally.... I thought wistfully as I left my mum's apartment, going to hang out with Ella in Central Park.


(The park)

"SELENE!!!!!!!!!" yelled a dirty blond girl from at LEAST 20 feet across from me.

"My God Ella! Who died?" I asked in exasperation.

"You will, if you don't shut up!" said the excited blond haired, blue eyed, a little shorter than average (hahaha Wagtail, guess who! snickers in the background at joke) girl.

"FINE! A bit touchy this morning aren't we???"

"Shut up, you know you love me." replied Ella as I rolled my eyes

"All right, what's could be SO important that you called me 8 in the morning for?" I said trying to hide my curiosity.

Ella couldn't hold it anymore.

"I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh no," I groaned, "not again..."

Ella stopped her bouncing suddenly.

"What do you mean by 'Again'" asked Ella with a bit of disdain in her voice.

"Well, what about Steve, Matt, Andy, David, Chris..." I listed.

"OKAY, OKAY, I get it but this time it's going to be different! I just know it will!" she replied ecstatically.

"All right, I believe you," while I really didn't, "so what's his name?"

"ummmm....."

"ELLA! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME!!"

"well, he was hot.... and he gave me his number.." she stated timidly.

Laughing at my friend's stupidity, I said "Ella to you ALL men are hot. You so need help."

"I do don't I? Oh well, you know there is only one true man for me." she said swooning.

"Of course, how could I forget! Our dear Mr. Black has claimed your heart." I said in a mock-Shakespearian accent.

"And how can we forgot your little infatuation with our dear Mr. Moony." Ella stated mimicking my accent.

So we left to wander in the park, laughing our heads off at silly comments we made about Harry Potter and other random subjects.

And that was how my day began. However, nothing could have prepared us for what to come next......

AN: HAHAHAHA I am soooooo mean. I left a cliffie in the 1st chapter! evil cackle! D Don't worry chapter 2 will come but first a question. Should the rest of the story go to my character's POV or should I switch around with her's, other charcters, and 3rd??? Just a question! REVIEW SOON! Much love (and bribes of sugar) from Whitepaw.
