"I love you my princess" my Mom smiled, with tears silently spilling down her flawless pale cheeks. I was four years old and couldn't understand why my Mom was crying. Mom's long curly hair cascaded down her back and her amber eyes were blood shoot as cried.

I lay there in my big, cosey bed as she pressed a kiss to my pale forehead, smiling sleepily, I asked her in a small voice "Mommy, why are you crying" Mom, just hugged me closer. I didn't understand, so I cried too.

Mom wiped away my tears, smiling she repeated the same words, "I love you my princess," and pecking my forehead. She whispered the last words as she left the room, I guess she didn't want me to hear them. "I'll miss you my little princess, remember me..."

"Mommy? Mommy? Where are you going?" I cried out, as I stumbled out of bed and ran down the hall. I just caught a glimpse of her mink cloak as she closed the front door. Tripping down the stairs, as I raced across the entrance hall, throwing open the door. The Cab Driver just pulling away. "Mommy? Mommy wait, please don't go..." My tiny hands beat against the stone banisters cutting my fragile skin. Blood splattered on the cold white snow. "Mommy..." I cried. My long black hair whipped around me.

I wake, my heart beating. "Mommy?" I call out, my body surrounded by cold sweat. Just a dream, another nightmare. My mother left me so many years ago. Aunt Theo never talked about her, or what happened. she just said it wasn't my fault. But I think it was, why else would she have left. I was four years old and my mother left.

I barely remember her, my mother. I remember only bits and pieces. But now I'm not so sure if they are real or just something my mind made up. Beautiful curly brown hair and eyes so perfect they were a sort of amber with flecks of gold. Her voice so soft... but most of all I remember how she made me feel... when she left, all those years ago. If I saw her now I don't think I'd ever forgive her. She left me, and I don't think she even cared. It's been twelve years. Twelve long years, and mother never wrote. Never called. Never cared...

I look to my alarm clock the time glowing red in the pitch black room. It's almost seven in the morning. I turn the alarm off and get out of bed. A big stretch as I yawn and pad over to the curtain opening it and letting the horribly bright rays of light shine into the room. Grabbing my clothes I make my way across the room, and down the to the bathroom, turning the shower on. I remove my nightdress and stand under the warm water. Letting the water wash over me, cleaning my body. I bend down and pick up the hair conditioner and squeeze a little into my hand. The beautiful smell of Lotus Flower and Orchid tingling my senses as I wash my long hair. Not once in my life has my hair been cut, and now past my waist. On today's agenda I'm getting my first haircut... Uncle John wouldn't be happy, but I don't care. The new school year is fast approaching and I want to look my best. Dressed in a pair of skinny faded blue jeans and a soft green top, I head down stairs to have breakfast.

Aunt Theodora sits at the table with a muggle news paper, The Advertiser, and two wizarding prints, The Quibbler and Daily Prophet. I walk over to the kitchen bench and placing some bread in the toaster. Getting the jam and butter out of the fridge, my toast pops and I finish preparing my breakfast by pouring a glass of orange juice.

"Hair cut?" I ask Aunt Theo, she smiles looking up from her papers. She gets up pouting herself more coffee.

"What would John have said?" She asks in mock scolder. "How short do you want it?"

"Um... Middle of my back?"

She nods, "Alright then. You coming to the library with me today?"

My bright blue eyes light up, and I start to eat a little faster. Aunt Theo accepts this as my answer and returns to her coffee and newsprint. Just a normal day in the Rosier family.

I yawn still tired. Nightmares make sleeping difficult. The familiar sound of an owl at the window startles me awake. I open the window, only to have the owl drop the letter in my hand and fly off.

I flip the envelope over and look to the seal. I feel the rise of excitement pulse through my veins and a squeal of delight escapes my lips, causing Aunt Theo to look up from the article she was currently reading. "It's here, It's here." I jump up and down, my sleepiness gone. I carefully open the envelope and read it, trying to contain myself.
