Sleep listening.
This is my first proper story I hope you like it! I'm only fourteen so cut me some slack on the spelling. Open to constructive criticism. Please review!
- starts with muggle girl completely unaware of the magical world or her own potential.
Evelyn sat in the back of her father's old bronze Mercedes, book discarded, eyes vacant as she gazed through the water stained glass out over Oxfordshire. There were sheep and grass and trees and a cold grey sky.
Evelyn was leaving for home. This was not something she was exactly optimistic about, school started on Thursday and Evelyn had a small mound of coursework waiting impatiently on the desk in her slowly imploding bedroom. It wasn't that her room was untidy it was just anything left in there eventually began to breath.
Tomorrow she and her mother would have to go over to Thetford to swap her gold striped blazer for a plain black one. They couldn't afford a new one. They couldn't afford anything. But thoughts of attempting employment at the age of fourteen slipped from her mind as she succumbed to sleep.
Sleep reading had become an interesting if slightly freighting occurrence. Evelyn had found that if she fell asleep reading she would often continue to let bizarre strings of words drift through her mind, it was a mater of balance if she concentrated to hard or tried to block or control the flow she would wake up, but if she didn't hold on hard enough she would loose all consciousness and, like every other occasion, wake with no recollection of what she had seen and hear in her own head.
Were they even words, or sounds, shapes, the idea of a shape or perhaps the shape of an idea?
What is that sound? Susurrus…susserrusserrusserrus…sorceress…soraces…think!It is a shape… a ship… A shape!... a snape…a snake…with red eyes…watching me!...WHICH ME THOUGHT THAT?…Thought what?...

So……what's left?...JUST US…just us…us…us…suseurrus…susurusserusserus…a differiferent snake a snake a snape asnaay… with black eyes!
"Watching me." Said Evelyn. Then she slept.
