"I'm a what?" I asked my mother in disbelief.
Apparently she has this crazy idea I'm some kind of magical witch or something. I haven't heard her say stuff like this since I was little but she stopped when my father died in a horrendous car accident.
"A witch, honey. I know this is shocking news for you and everything but your farther was a wizard also. He was what you would call a pureblood, and you, Elizabeth, are a half-blood."
Okay it's official; my mum has lost it. If she's nuts enough to think I'll believe this garbage I'm probably better living with Grandma, and believe me she gives crazy a whole new meaning. Is she pulling this stuff out of her butt? Seriously where is she getting this? It's probably one of those stupid TV shows, you know the ones where the kids are completely oblivious to the whole situation. Yeah that's gotta be it.
"Haha mum, this is funny. Trying to convince me that there is such thing as magic. Very tricky, good one. But if you don't mind-" She startled me when she cut me off with such a cross tone, she barley ever used this voice.
"Elizabeth! Listen to me. You are going to be attending a school called Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I'm not taking no as an answer. Although I am non-magical I want you to experience what's in your blood. I know you will be fine there and get fantastic marks. I believe in you and know that you will adjust well to this change." Mum said sure of herself.
Once my mother had her mind set to something there was no turning her around.
"Whatever you say ma." I said rolling my eyes.
There was no way I was leaving my friends here in Birmingham to go to some bogus school in Scottland. Although I always wanted to go there this was something I didn't want to go there for.
"Tomorrow we shall go to Diagon Alley to buy all your school supplies for the upcoming year. Also you cannot tell any of your friends of the wizarding world." She said matter-of-factly.
"Alright, alright. Now if all the news if out of the way I'd like to go to my room." I started turning to head upstairs when I heard her start to speak again.
"Actually," I turned back slowly "since you will be switching schools," Mum begun…
'Oh no' I thought please do not finish that sentence. Do not say what I think you're going to say.
"We will be moving to London to be closer to the train station that will take you there. So tomorrow after we go shopping I would like you to start packing your things." My body cringed and I closed my eyes tight hoping it was a dream. She can't be serious; I lived here my whole life.
"Ugh!" I screamed frustrated.
I ran upstairs and slammed the door shut. This had to be the worst day of my life. Why me? Why did this have to happen to me? The only thing I could think of doing was sneaking out to meet all my friends. I knew where they were; it's always the same on a Saturday night. I'm usually there but got grounded for some stupid reason or another. So that's just what I did, I ran to Katelyn's house to say my goodbye's to them.
I guess they knew I was going to sneak out because when I arrived they didn't seem surprised. Probably because my mother wouldn't let me out of the house past nine in the past years, but when I turned 15 she started trusting me more so I didn't have to sneak around.
"Lizzy!" I heard Michelle scream, "what took you so long to get here? We were beginning to think you were a no show."
"Yeah well I'm not exactly here on fun terms." I began
My voice was stuck in my throat and I couldn't come up with words to form a proper sentence.
"What are you talking about Liz?" I heard Chrissy say quietly.
"Um, well you see…" I said trying to come up with the right words. "I…ugh I'm, you see…"
"Spit it out Beth!" Katelyn said clearly annoyed by my stuttering.
"I'm moving." I said so quietly that I wasn't even sure they heard me.
"What? I'm sorry I don't think I heard you right." Michelle said in a state of confusion.
"I'm moving to London." I spoke, this time louder.
"That's not possible, your mum can be a bit nuts at times, but this is kinda drastic, don't ya think?" Chrissy spoke for the group.
"It's not like I have a choice, you know how my mum is." I said sadly.
"Oh, Elizabeth" Sydney spoke for the first time since I've been there "I'm so sorry. We're all going to miss you so much. When is the big day?" she spoke with obvious concern.
"Um, in a few days. But I don't wanna leave you guys. I don't know anyone in London. I'm gonna be a total outcast." I broke out into sobs.
The four enveloped me in a big group hug. Saying hopeful things like 'You'll be fine', 'Don't worry, you'll meet nice people', 'Keep in contact, we'll always be there for you' and my favorite 'We can always take care of your mother for you, ya know, make sure you don't leave here'. After that we all broke into a fit of giggles.
The rest of the night consisted of us five talking and saying we will always be there for one another. Saying that we will always be best friends. After a while of this I headed home for a good night's rest.
'Tomorrow's gonna be a long day' I found myself thinking before drifting into a deep dreamless sleep.
A/N:
Next chapter will have the actual Harry Potter characters in it. This will be a Marauder story so if you don't like it then sorry. It will mostly be about Sirius. This is my first Harry Potter fiction so give me some pointers please. Thanks ;)
