Chapter One- Believe in What you Didn't

To believe that they would have an easy life was hard enough for those two, to watch all the other kids leave the dreadful place that they knew they would be there for another year. With no family wanting them because they were so different.

Different, a word that would mean nothing to them, but would soon hurt them deeply as they sat in his room, looking out the window as the day slowly passed their eyes. Only to lock eyes once in a while. Promising each other that they will always get through everything together no mater what.

Best friends were what they were to each other. For they had no one else but each other. Secret codes, notes and signal to be with each other, while the other kids didn't think of what could be going on. Late night meets in the attic as they played board games till dawn started to peak over the horizon, telling them to sneak back into their dorms where they belong before they get caught.

To them, two kids that had nothing; it was rather perfect to them. Till a man came, seeing the both of them separately- telling them why they were so different from the other kids. Why one of them could do strange things to the other children, and the other could speak to animals easily and have them do whatever they wanted.

Scared to lose each other, they were stuck together like glue. Worried to be left alone with the man again, saying that there is a school where they could go to, a school where others were just like them. Like them in a way that they had the same abilities as them. Magic was the word he had said that they held within them.

They were witches and wizards. To them, a witch or a wizard was a dangerous, ugly, truly awful creature that cursed beautiful people into horrible things.

But, soon they didn't believe that was true anymore, because they were the creatures that they feared when they closed their eyes at night. Hoping that the witch or wizard wouldn't separate them in the morning.

Together they were going to get through this together. Together was all that they needed. Heading into some unknown world to them. Hand in hand, holding their breath as they went. Thinking of as many things as they could, trying to think of all the impossible and possible ways that this could be true.

But nothing came up. There was no impossible way they could figure this riddle out. Then it came to both of their minds, as they ran through a wall between platforms ten and nine. They were meant to be in this world. Worlds were they weren't outcast, but somebody to be wanted.

"Tom.. I'm scared.." a girl said, she was no taller than he was, four foot tall and some odd inches they figure. Starring at the wall that held a world where they belonged in.

"I'm right here, Kat.. He said he would be here by now.." the boy said, squeezing the girl's hand, trying to comfort her, when he wanted her to try comforting him. He looked at the witch beside him, then back at the brick wall.

"You sure, he said here and not the other side of the wall" she pointed at the wall, only trying to find a logical reason why the old man wasn't here, as her friend just stood and starred at the boring rusted red brick wall.

"One way to find out, isn't there?" he said, pushing some of her dark brown hair out of her face, trying to smile at her as she just looked up in to his dark blue eyes.

"Yes, but shouldn't w-" before she could even finish what she was saying, he ran into the wall, hand in hand with her, puling her along as they dumped into a tall man. Soon they believed what the old man had said that day as they glanced up at the figure they ran into, considering it was the old man him self. An innocent smile, which spread across the man's face as he bent down to help gather their things.

"You finally came over," the man said, handing their bags to them, "but neither less, you're here and your train should be leaving in, oh about five minutes. If I were you two, I would hurry onto the train."

A worried look came across both of their faces as they grabbed their bags from the man and ran towards the closest entrance they could find. Falling on top of one another as they dashed into the door, trying to get in at the same time, as the whistle blew. Giggle at the poor situation that they were in; they embraced one another in a hug that was long needed in a long time.

Both not knowing what lay ahead of them, but not frightened to take up on the challenges that would come at every angles at them. Knowing that they would be with each other, to not know one thing at all- but to know one thing- that they should start to believe in the unbelievable. But then again it was something they never thought could happen to them, two eleven year olds- starting a journey together, that most people would dream of. That they get to embrace.
