London
A woman got out of a London taxi and then reached back inside to lift out a carry cot. She walked around the corner so that she was out of sight of the taxi driver and looked along the street. A blue front door with a wide concrete step caught her attention. There were lights on behind the curtains and the flickering of a TV. She put the cot onto the step and then walked back to the taxi.
"You alright miss?" queried the taxi driver seeing that the woman was crying. "I see you've come back without your baby. Nothing wrong I hope?"
Lily Potter mustered up a smile, "No it's all fine. We'll head to the airport now please."
"Ah you're going away!" The driver sounded relieved, "I remember the first time we left ours. We worried all week and then you come back and they're right as rain."
Lily looked out of the side window. This wasn't a conversation she wanted to have.
Meanwhile in the middle of London and outside the home of a relatively wealthy unmarried engineer, her baby was eyeing up the porch light which was a hanging lantern on a long black chain. He was an adventurous little soul even at the age of four months. He stretched up with both hands wondering how to reach it. A moment later his attention had moved to a new challenge as he began to experiment with trying to kick a piece of paper that had been taped to the inside wall of the cot. Written on the paper were the words, "Please call me Jed." When he caught his toes under it, it flapped and crinkled. With a really good scuff he got it free and snatched it up. It wasn't ideal to chew, so he tossed it out of his cot. The paper balanced precariously on the edge of the porch step, lifting up when the wind caught under it but not quite blowing away. Not yet anyway. Jed meanwhile had discovered something new. If he rolled from side to side, it made the cot wobble. Now this was the best game yet. Hopefully someone would open the door and find him soon. Otherwise the game would end in an accident and the grandson of the legendary Harry Potter would find himself rolling into the road.
So what do you guys think? Should I keep going? Are you interested? Do you want read more?
Please review, I'm desperate for some feedback! I'll be really thankful!
Thanks, London.
