Only Eleven
-Marius Black- is *ONLY* eleven.
*ONLY* eleven when he found he was NOT a wizard like his brother Pollux.
NOT *magical* like his sisters Cassiopeia and Dorea.
*ONLY* eleven when he was disowned by his EVER so *loving* parents.
(NOT)
So Marius LEFT. He LEFT when he was *ONLY* eleven, no knowledge of the M U G G L E world.
L o n d o n was a scary place.
People yelling at him to ¡SCRAM!
N e w people at every *turn*.
One day the hunger is too much.
He -sneaks- up to a f r u i t cart, steals an a p p l e, and -RUNS- away.
Suddenly CAUGHT, he tries to s q u i r m out of the policeman's grasp.
But he CAN'T.
He is taken back to the vendor.
**Sudden Salvation!**
The seller lies, even gives him another a p p l e, a c-lum-p of g r a p e s, and money to buy some f o o d.
"But *remember* to show grace to others as GOD has shown grace to you."
Sunday he goes to c h u r c h.
He meets a ~girl~ there.
~She~ *reminds* him of his little sister *gulp* Dorea.
The ~girl~, Tessa, says she can *h e l p*.
Afterward ~she~ takes -him- to a farm on the outskirts of L o n d o n with a -barn- and a ~garden~
He gets a job there, l i v i n g in the -barn-, helping the *a n i m a l s* there and taking care of the ~garden~.
He *knows* it isn't the b e s t of accommodations, but -he- doesn't care and is *HAPPY*.
Then, one day six months -later-, he is ACCUSED of a CRIME he didn't do.
Regardless of his *protests* he is F I R E D.
Even though -Marius Black- is *ONLY* eleven, he *knows* that
LIFE isn't *fair*.
