Chapter one-Socks

"Gosh, I am SO glad I put on old socks today." I said quietly to myself. I looked up and saw a girl about 13 looking at me. "Hi," I said. "so, you ever, uh, ….?" The little girl just stares. I look back down at my now sopping wet converse sneakers and, as I mentioned early, my old socks. I looked back at her, gosh why do people always look at me like that? Why won't she just go away? "Urm, um, you dropped your pocket." she looks down, and I walk away quickly toward the little house behind the trees. It really is a cute house. It's red. That's all it takes.

"I finally got a place!" I though a loud. The lady looked at me funny. "I'm sorry, I've just been to like 30 places, and none of them where right. Let's just say I found out why they still had vacancies." The girl, Liz, nodded her head in reply.

"Do you want the grand tour?" she asked. I nodded, unlike the other places I visited, I wasn't scared for my life, there was no Dark Arts crap, it was sanitary, it was organized, I could identify all of the scents I smelled, and it was in a great location. Liz smiled, "Well, you've been here for a total of five minutes, so I might not want you to live here. And, not to scare you or anything, but who knows, you may find something that you can't live with." she smiled. I liked her already. "Okay, so it's just me and Drake that live here. We each take turns doing the laundry, cooking, and cleaning, or other stuff. I expect everyone to get along, and that means privacy too. The only bedroom on this floor is mine, and there are three upstairs. I always keep one open, sort of. Right now, it's full of crap. The "empty" room is yours. I'm an editor for the Daily Prophet. Now, tell me about yourself." She smiled at me again and sat down on a couch in the living room.

I really hadn't listened to her except for the chores and rules part. I really liked this house. "I'm a second class Auror. I did a lot of random things before that. I'm kind of a music teacher. I teach them things like piano, violin, guitar, um what else, singing, lots of things. I went to school to be a healer, but I got bored with it I guess. Then I went to become an Auror, top of my class. I went through the three other stages, you know, fifth, fourth, and third classes in a few years."

"Wow, oh, do you want to tell me about your family?"

"Why not. Um, I was actually born in America and moved here when I was ten. I have two sisters and one brother and we grew up on a ranch. I went to Hogwarts then, and here I am now."

"Well, when do you want to move in?" she asked.

"Really? Oh, that's awesome. Um, today?" I asked.

"Sure, but I'm going to be gone, I have a meeting to go to today. Welcome home."

"Thank you so much Liz Armament." I couldn't have been happier. I had a home, a friend, and sopping wet socks.
