Chapter One
Dear Professor Dumbledore
This year I will be unable to attend Hogwarts School due to unfortunate circumstances. I hope this won't affect anything. My decision is final
Yours sincerely
Kilia Deinfer
My life was normal, well as normal as being a witch is until this summer. I went camping with my parents and while they were sleeping I went outside the tent for some fresh air and I was attacked by a werewolf. When my parents found out I discovered they have a deep hatred for werewolves so my life went from good to bad all in one night.
I sent a letter to Professor Dumbledore with a hidden message to take me away but I don't know if it worked as it had been two weeks since I've sent the letter, three since I was locked in the basement and it is now one week till the full moon, and my freedom is demising.
Late last night I could hear my parents talking since the curse heightened my senses.
"What are we going to do with her?" my ma asked.
"Kill her maybe?" my da replied
"No even if she is a monster I can't do that" ma said
"Keep her locked up at least I don't want it getting loose" da explained to her.
"Yeah it better work Michael" Ma cried
"It will or else Elaine" he replied.
I felt my heart rip out of my chest then, the only ounce of love my ma has for me is keeping me alive and my da he can't wait to butcher me. I need to escape now. I took a hairpin out of my hair and picked at the lock that tired me to the basement wall. I heard my parents feet go up the stairs. So I crept up the basement stairs and picked it open.
Two hours later I heard the soft breathing as my parents were deep asleep. I opened the basement door and ran to the kitchen and took the cookie jar that had the wizardry money and unlocked the front door and ran for it.
When my parents threw me in the basement they forgot to take my wand from me. So once I was far away from my house I took my wand out and called the Knight Bus. BANG a triple Decker purple bus appeared and a man with greasy black hair jumped down.
"Welcome to the Knight Bus a bus for stranded witch or wizard how may we be of service?" he asked.
"Can you bring me to the Leaky Cauldron please" I wondered.
"Yeah that will be eleven sickles" he said. I opened my jar and took out the money while he showed me to one of the beds I would be using for the trip to the pub.
BANG the bus brought me to the leaky cauldron and I jumped down and went inside. Tom the bartender waved me over and I went to sit down at the counter.
"How may I help you?" he asked.
"Do you have a room for the night?" I said.
"Yeah" he answered. He brought me up two set of stairs and to a room numbered 21.
"You can have this room for the night and pay me in the morning" he said and left me alone in the dark bedroom.
When I turned on the lights I noticed there is an owl at the window. I went to the desk and got a piece of parchment and ink and began to write a letter once more.
Dear Lily
I need your help please! I'm at the Leaky Cauldron write now. I only managed to escape last night. I really hope you can come
Your friend Kilia
I hope Lily can make it she should I've never seen her let someone down beside James Potter the "bane of existence" as she puts it.
The next morning I went down for breakfast and to pay Tom the money from last night.
As I was eating my breakfast a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me in a hug.
"You're okay" a voice choked voice whispered in my ear.
"I need to breathe" I whispered back. The arms released me and I turned to see Lily Evans my best friend standing behind me arms crossed and defiant looking waiting for an answer.
"Look I can't tell you here okay?" I said.
"Alright but you're okay?" she asked.
"No not really" I whispered.
She wrapped me in a hug and rocked me back and forth as I had started to cry into her shoulder.
"Shh you're okay, you're okay" she soothed.
"Lily I…ca…can…can't g…g…go ho…hom…home e…v…ev…ever" I sobbed.
"Shh you can tell me later" she shushed me. I nodded then pulled away as my crying slowed down.
"Do you want to come to my house?" she asked.
"yeah" I croaked.
She took a spare jacket from her bag and wrapped it around my shoulders while she walked me down the street to her house. One good thing about Lily's house it's down the road from the Leaky Cauldron. She brought me up to her room.
"I suppose I should tell you now Lils" I said, she nodded and I took a deep breath.
"I was bitten by a werewolf three weeks ago" I whispered.
"Oh Kilia" she said and brought me into a hug.
"I'll help you okay" she said. I nodded in to her shoulder and wondered how did I get such a good friend as Lily.
