This one-shot is dedicated to 'the 3 challenge'. Here goes nothin'!!
Her vision blurred, for the thousandth time that night. She was on the doorstep of Grimmauld Place, and had her hand curled into a fist, raised into the air. She was only about 7, short and skinny for her age. 'Why come all the way here, and not even knock?' She snorted to herself. 'Because, you don't even know if anyone lives here anymore.' The thought resounded in her head, her body trembling with fear at the sound of those words. Someone had to be here. She gulped. There was no place else to go. The snowstorm swirled around her, and her cheeks were red from standing in the cold so long. 'Well, what are you waiting for?' A mocking voice surrounded her. That same voice as before.
"You little incompetent brat!" Calla winced, a red welt formed on her cheek. There were so many of them laughing, people in dark cloaks, some with masks on. They all towered above Calla, menacingly glaring at her.
"I-I'm s-sorry." She didn't know why she was apologizing, she just knew that it always made them stop.
"WORMTAIL!" The cruel, mocking voice echoed in the halls.
"Y-yes, m-m-master?"
"Show the girl to her room." A laugh echoed in the distance.
"Y-yes s-sir." Calla ran after the man that stuttered so much. 'Wormtail-such a weird name she thought.' They scurried down the hallways. She could hear the voice give orders, and people seemed to disappear. Her eyes widened.
Snowflakes fell, landing on her skin and clothes. She took a deep breath and knocked. No answer. She knocked again, louder this time, then tried wrenching open the door. No such luck. Starving and tired, all Calla wanted to do was sleep. She sat on the doorstep, her warm breath visible as she sighed. Leaning her head against the door, Calla fell asleep.
So, I'd say this is the end, but I'd be lying. My disclaimer: If I were J.K. Rowling, would I be on Fanfiction? No. Plus, with all my other stories, how would I be all those people too? Its just not possible. So no, I'm not the genius who came up with the Harry Potter series. Now! Ideas = Love Love = More writing More writing = More Updates, need I go on?
