I also love writing, which is what motivated me to share this fanfiction with all of you! This is my first fanfiction so please be nice thank you! I just moved to California because of my dad's work and I'm really nervous about not knowing anybody when I start school this fall but I think it'll be ok! It's so hot here! Good thing I'm a summer person =)
Anyways, without further ado here is my Harry Potter fanfiction please favorite and follow me!
XOXO, Maddie
Chapter one:, new Beginnings
I was in a cave so dark that I could hardly see anything. Shadows swirled around me and I walked backwards trying to avoid but it was no use. They got closer and closer, faces laughing and pointing at me in shadowy darkness. Tears started coming out my eyes; but I felt like I couldn't move my hands to wipe them away so I stood and stared wide open as my striking green eyes got watery with tears that washed down my pale tan face. The shadows almost touched me and then…
"Ash wake up! It's morning!"
The voice echoed around me in the cave and I looked up. "Huh?" I said wondering where it was coming from. Then the shadows dipersed and I saw a light and then blinked. I was in my bed under white sheets; and it was morning sun streaming through my windows. I smiled in relief. It was just a dream. I heard my mom's voice again calling to me from my doorway.
"Ash get up! it's moving day remember?"
I blinked again then jolted up in shocked. I saw the boxes in my room all packed and taped up and labeled with all my things and one box in particular open with my things spilling out; a wand and books on magic. One thing you should know about me: I'm a witch and so is my whole family.
"Coming mom!" I groaned and pushed aside my bedsheets I had to strip my bed and pack everything and then I would be ready to go. I looked around my familiar room and thought about how I would never come back here again. I was gonna miss Arizona so much but I was excited to move to London England and go to a new school and make new friends. But I didn't know how I was going to live without my old friends Sarah, Lucy, Aliya, Anna, and Emily. It was so weird to think that I wouldn't be able to go out with them after school (they are all witches too and we went to Ilvermorny) or practice magic together. What I was gonna miss most was our writing club because every Sunday we'd meet and share our writing and give advice. I was going to miss my best friends so much.
I got out of bed and stretched. Then I tied up my long silky red hair and pulled clothes out of a box to wear. It was a pair of jeans and a tshirt and my favorite black beat up converse that I wore everywhere. I hated regular pink girly shoes and clothes because I'm a tomboy and that sort of stuff just isn't my style. I put on a Legend of Zelda t-shirt which had the triforce on it. I love video games.
"Ashley it's time to go! The night bus is here!"
My mom came into my room and saw the boxes everywhere.
"Ugh finally you're ready."
She waved her wand, "Teleportus" and the boxes disappeared.
"They will reappear in our new home" she explained cleverly. I nodded my head in understanding. I took one last look at my room and then we left the house. We got on the bus and sat down in our seats. I said goodbye to my old home, I was gonna miss it and my friends but I couldn't wait for my new life and new beginnings. My mom smiled happiely.
"Ash aren't you excited to go to hogwarts? It's the best wizarding school in the world!"
"Yes mom." I said looking out the window. I could not wait.
