AN: The main character used in this story is the creative workings of asking alex and has been featured in one of her own stories and I suggest you read it because it is really wonderful. She is the mind behind Amari and she is a really amazing author.
Chance against all chances
I sigh, walking down the hall towards my uncle`s study. Standing in front of the large door, I run my hand along the snake emblem. Then, putting the best smile I have on my face I knock.
"Come in" says his snake like, annoyed voice. I do so and see him sitting at his desk. "What is it Amari?" he asks me when he looks up to see my smiling face.
"Uncle Tom," I start but he interrupts me.
"If you insist on calling me uncle, it is just uncle or Lord Voldemort" he says looking at me angrily.
"Fine" I sigh "uncle. I was wondering if, because you have control of it now, I can go to Hogwarts?"
"No" he says, looking down at his desk again "no."
"But why not!" I argue "I`m seventeen."
"No" he says again "you`re fine here, learning from my Death Eaters."
"But what about social sciences?" I whine. He looks at me sideways so I continued. "You know, like talking to other children my age?"
"I can arrange you talk to Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass and other Purebloods worthy of your attention" he says, looking down again.
"Please" I beg "pretty, pretty, pretty please." I keep begging until he raises his hand in frustration.
"If I let you go, will you leave my study and make yourself scarce for the rest of the day?" he asks me. I nod happily. He waves his hand signaling my dismissal. I turn around and bolt towards the door, laying my hand on it. "Wait" he yells and I sigh, knowing my uncle far too well, but what he says surprises me. "Be careful" he says, almost sweetly. I smile and nod before exiting and running down the hall to my room almost leaping with joy. This time tomorrow I will be at Hogwarts. I can hardly wait.
