Magic Happens
The BeginningA street lamp flickered as Leslie Carter walked silently down the damp street. The fall winds were blowing on the dark night. She had been so stressed out lately from all the changes. Out of no where her parents decided to move now she hardly sees them.
As she walked up to the house she realized something was wrong the front door hung sideways on its hinges. She quickly ran inside and saw that the house was wrecked.
Tables were upside down, lamps broken, couches ripped apart. As she slowly walked through she noticed that there were huge gaping, jagged holes in the wall.
Leslie ran upstairs to see that it was the same. I t was as if some sort of fight happened. She was looking through the rooms franticly searching for her parents.
She suddenly heard a scuffling noise down stairs. Leslie leaped out the room she was in and started to run down the stairs screaming out "mom! dad!" When she got to the living room she found some one but it wasn't her parents.
There was a tall old man with long white hair and a long white beard smiling at her. Leslie quickly started backing away. "Hello Leslie you must be wondering what I am doing here but I will ask you to listen as I will probably answer your questions."
"I am sorry to say that your parents have been taken by an evil wizard named Voldimort. You may not know this Leslie, but your parents are great wizards. That also means that you are a wizard yourself." Leslie stood there her mouth gaping open while replaying what this strange man had said. "I am Albus Dumbledore, I am the head master of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
This school will teach you everything you need to know about magic and how to use sells and charms which will help you in the magic world. I know this is much of a shock but we best be going soon."
Leslie still just stood there she was speechless. To her some nutcase just came in side her house and started telling her about some magic crap! Even though it sounded really stupid, she believed every word he said.
"So, Leslie began, if this is all true then would you know where my parents were?" " I am afraid not Leslie, no one does" Leslie dropped to the floor and sat there with tears streaming down her face. She tried her best to suck it up but she couldn't stop her emotions.
The old man came to her and kneeled beside her, "now, now everything will be fine. I have sent out some wizards who are looking for your parents, but now that Voldimort is out on the loose the best we can do is get you to safety.
All of a sudden the room disappeared and Leslie found her self being sucked down in a portal. She couldn't breath and was surrounded by colors. Suddenly she felt her feet hit the ground and was in a whole different place.
As she stood up she noticed that she was in a sort of storage room with a door and a brick wall. She turned around and tilted her head back to see a giant man with frizzy tangled hair and a big leather jacket.
"Why Leslie you 'avent changed a bit!" Leslie stood there looking confused. "Why I guess you don't remember ol Hagrid now do ya! Well I guess not since you were only a little baby when I last saw ya. Leslie had failed to notice Dumbledore standing next to the giant who she guessed was named Hagrid.
"Miss Carter this is a fellow teacher at Hogwarts, Hagrid",said Dumbledore. "He teaches the Care of Magical Creatures class" By then Leslie was relaxed about everything so she was happy to know meet him.
"Miss Carter Hagrid is here to help you find your things that you'll be needed for the new term. So I shall be off then, miss Carter, Hagrid." Then in a split second he disappeared.
" Okay now stand back." Hagrid pulled out an umbrella and tapped it on some bricks on the wall. Then the bricks started moving and formed a doorway. Past the door way was a bustling street filled with witches and wizards.
There were so many shops and people with all kinds of packages. Hagrid stepped for and started walking. "Come on now its time to get your things." Leslie stepped forward with hope in this new magical world.
