The story of Luisa Hawk
Few facts why you have to forgive me that here's so much mistakes:
1) My first language isn't English(but you don't understand Estonian, do you?)
2) I began writing this story about 't ask:)
Chapter 1When it all changed…
Property of L. Hawk. Stay away!
Hello, my dear diary, I wanted to tell you about myself ,because right now I don't have anybody to speak with.
I was just an usual girl in her usual life. In my ordinary school(No, I don't say muggleschool, because I don't like this word, they're just people who can't do magic)I was the one you didn't remember, whose existence you forgot totally.
I must say that maybe it was my own fault .I didn't talk a lot, I was too shy and I liked studying too much. Everybody were friendly with my(even if they didn't know my name),but I had only few friends.
In my sixth class(I was already 13)and I still felt that I didn't belong there, I began wondering if my social skills were below zero .When other girls talked already about boys or latest fashion, I was always quiet because I didn't want to make fool of myself. I just didn't have any experiences with boys or knowledge and well ,let's say that I was still waiting for my first crush.
Now I understand that although they didn't know how different I was, they somehow felt it.
It all began one evening when I was walking back home. It was dark already, but I didn't notice this before because I had totally forgotten myself into the library .It was cold and I wanted to get home faster so I decided to cut thru warehouses district. I know, I know it was really stupid, but Hey, I was only 13!But this decision changed my life so much better, that I think it was maybe a great idea after all. And I would do it again! Fate is a strange thing. But back to the by-street.
I was humming some tune when I saw one black nearing car. It stopped beside me and someone opened the back door. I began to walk faster, but I started shiver a little when somebody yelled behind me: "Oh, it seems like some small bird is trying to fly away! Lets break her wings!"
What happened next seems even now covered with fog. All I felt was desperate horror when I tried to run. But young frightened girl can't escape forever for three adult men, even if they were drunk a little, and next thing I felt was sudden anger, when that street turned out to be a dead-end.
I was furious! What the hell are they doing! I wasn't definitely even so beautiful that they would chase me! But I'm not some worm who can be squeezed to death!
They were coming closer and closer and when I stood there next to some smelling trash can ,I felt like something inside me was released. It just happened and all I could do was just watch in surprise how whole street just exploded and fire swallowed men and their car. I remember that I though that I'm dying too and that's definitely too weird way doing it.
When I came to consciousness, I didn't understand where I was. It looked like ordinary hospital bed but something was different.
Oh my god! That kitten on that picture just ran away! I must become crazy!
Kitten didn't came back, so finally I though that I'm just imaging this and sighed in relief. Until I heard noises outside the door.
„But.. but.." ,it was some young woman," she can be dangerous! Almost whole area was destroyed!"
„Yes and that means that she is very-very powerful and someone did a horrible mistake when they bonded her magic." her companion said.
Her magic! What was going on? My m-magic?! What kind of sick joke is that? and closed my eyes.
„Miss, I believe it isn't a joke at all." said one quiet voice suddenly.
In next days I felt like being in some weird dream. The man introduced himself as Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts what was a school for witches and wizards. My mouth fell almost to the ground when he said that I'm a witch too. He added with a twinkle in his eyes that it wasn't some offense but I could actually do magic myself. It took almost two hours before I finally began to believe it. When he spoke with my parents, it took about five.
Dumbledore explained to us that there are many witches and wizards around us living their lives. He was very interested if there has ever happened something strange with me.
We saw how my parents exchanged odd looks, before my mother finally spoke.
„Well, when our daughter was just a baby, then happened many weird things. Lights went on and off, things flew. .Although we don't believe in ghosts,"
„They exists", added Dumbledore.
My
mother continued:
"Anyway ,it was very disturbing so we invited some gypsy as a last
possibility. She was in our house all day and when she finally left
things were normal again."
"Was
Luisa home on that day?" asked headmaster.
„Of course, we all were. I never forgot the look in gypsy's eyes when she looked at her. Oh my god ,is this somehow connected with her, umm ,powers?"
„What that meant?" I finally asked
„Well, now I'm totally sure, that your powers had been bonded .But I don't know yet if she did that on purpose or not. The bond is broken now and I have to say that you need to learn magic. Even if you don't want this you have to learn how to control yourself."
Albus Dumbledore impressed me in many ways. He had explained that I have to study at home for few years because I was definitely a rare case. Actually ,he said, I was the first known case in modern history, because others' powers show themselves much earlier.
He even promised me that I can come to Hogwarts when I'm ready, and managed to calm me down after I almost fainted when it finally hit me that I killed three men. Although it took more time than convincing me that I'm a witch.
Three years I had been taught by my neighbour who turned out to be a witch too! Then I though that there's so much changes at once and I must be going crazy! Her name was Amelie Black and she was almost 26.I never asked why was so powerful witch like her living all alone, surrounded by only muggles, because I didn't want to push it .I was just glad that she agreed to teach me.
One day, when I was going to a lesson I saw that her front door was open. It really freaked me out when she didn't answer my calls and I decided to go in. I looked everywhere, she wasn't there. But in her kitchen was beautiful white horse. Yes, that's right, there was a horse in Amelie's kitchen!
„Wow" I though, "now I have seen everything.."
But I had to take my words back because with a pop! instead of horse was standing Amelie herself.
„Whaaat.." I just gulped.
„Oh, please ,you can't tell about this to anyone, "she said with a pleading voice," You see, I'm an animagus. That means I can turn into an animal, in my case, horse. But I'm not registered in Ministry ,so if they found out, they'll punish me. Please understand ,I didn't want to break any laws, but then it was really necessary."
I promised never reveal her secret, but I was really obsessed with thought of becoming an animagus myself. Finally Amelie agreed making for me this potion. Honestly, I can't understand how she trusted me so much, but she was young and she was happy that she had someone to talk with, even if I was over ten years younger than she. Amelie didn't have anyone beside me and sometimes it seemed like she was hiding for someone or something.
Few months later I was standing again in her kitchen. On the table was a glass of shiny potion what smelled like.. everything. I had already picked an animal who I wanted to be and hoped that it will work.
„Cheers!" and I drank that.
It felt like my stomach had started rotating and finally everything felt different.
Amelie laughed so hard that tears fell over her cheeks. An elegant brownish fluffy cat was looking own tail with a surprise before she landed in Amelie's lap.
And with a pop it was me again. Amelie was still laughing so hard that she hardly managed to push me off. On that day she began calling me Fluffy.
I know what you are thinking .A cat is too usual ,but.. I've always loved them. They are so mystical and independent what is totally opposite to myself.
Oh, I was so exited that I couldn't sleep last night. Finally my first year in Hogwarts will start.
Amelie said this morning that she will miss me very much. Also she said something strange, that I remind her younger sister, only without the darkness inside. That was definitely a odd compliment and first time when she ever mentioned her family, so I just said „thank you" and hugged her tightly.
I can't wait when I'm there at last .Guess where I am right now! On Hogwarts express!
I really hope that I will fit here better. At the moment I'm little bit nervous. Who will be my classmates ?Will they like me? Oh, there's someone comi….
