Ugh, why does this happen to me? I'm constantly asking myself this question thinking that I might be able to come up with an answer, but nope. Nada. Zip. I can't figure out why I have such a sucky life, why my family had to die, and why I have to transfer to a new school. Why is it I get all the unfair in the world?
"Juliette, earth to Juliette." My dad's, cousins, son, Adam, says as he waves his hand in front of my face. I shake myself mentally and look into the face of my distant relative, the only relative I have left. I think he's my third cousin, and he is the biggest perv I know. I hate him with every fiber of my being. He's twenty seven, I'm fifteen, so someone please explain to me why he thinks he can look at me all sexually. Ick. The thought of doing anything with him makes me sick. That's partly the reason why I want to escape to this school, Hogwarts, just so I don't have to see his face every day. Also I really want to continue my education so I can become a successful witch. I hate depending on people.
"Yes?" I ask.
"When we get there do you need me to come inside with you? You might need help with that trunk of yours, plus your cat." Adam points to my trunk, and then looks pointedly at my kitten, Bella, sitting on my lap. I just bought her as a gift to myself.
"No. I can manage."
"So, this school's called 'Hogwarts.' Pretty unusual name. Have you heard of it before?"
Of course I have, my school, i mean my old school, Beauxbaton's, went there a couple of years ago for the Triwizard Tournament. But it's not like i could tell Adam that, he's not allowed to know about magic.
"Nope." I try to answer in as few words as possible.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Adam looks down to my breasts, then back to the road in front of him. "You could stay here, there's a great public school down the street from our house."
I shudder slightly. Your house, it will never be my home. "Yes I'm sure I want to go."
