Under The Moon
Chapter 1
James
I lay on my back, the afternoon sun warming my face. A gentle breeze rustled the grass around me. A bird chattered happily from the tree at the end of the garden and there was a scurrying in the bushes by the gate. I had spent the whole day laying here. And now I could see the sun setting through my closed eye lids. I opened my eyes and watched as it started to slip behind the hills that surrounded Godrics Hollow.
"James" my Mum called from the house. I sat up and looked around at her. She was standing in the doorway into the kitchen. Her long black hair was tide in a bun at the nape of her neck, she was wearing robes of deep purple and a white apron which had her wand sticking out the pocket in the front. "Dinners nearly ready honey. Come in and get cleaned up."
"Okay mum" I said getting up. I yawned and stretched. With one last look at the sun I headed indoors. As I entered the kitchen I was hit with smells of the food that was cooking away, the smell alone made my mouth water. I passed my dad on my way to the bathroom. I washed my hands and looked in the mirror above the sink. I was quite short for my age. I had a mess a black messy hair that stuck up at the back and would never lie flat. I pushed my round glasses up my nose before heading back to the kitchen where my dad had already taken his seat at the table and mum was dishing up the food.
"I can't believe you start school tomorrow. It only seems like yesterday you where learning to walk" mum said as she passed the plate she had just laded with food to me. I looked down at the table a knot tightening in my stomach. Tomorrow I would travel to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry for the first time.
