A Lovers Fate
Chapter 1: Other Side of the World
Dear Diary,
Well, America is very far behind me now. We have just finished moving into our home in England. Mother was worried about the piano. I agree with her; you never know about the floo network. I have already scoped out the woods behind our home and it is amazing. There is a brook nearby; perfect for song writing! The first thing I unpacked was my guitar then of course you. I cannot wait to meet the kids around here. People look so friendly. I mean one of our neighbors, an older woman across the street, came over and brought us my favorite kind of cookies, chocolate chip! But I must say that I miss Emmy and Kayden. I will see them soon won't I? Well, Mother is calling me so I must be going.
Love,
Aubrey
Aubrey tossed aside her diary on her unmade bed and rushed down the stairs dogging flying boxes that were unpacking themselves and into the kitchen. Aubrey's mother, Camille, was a tall, very respected woman. She had brown hair that was pin straight and hazel eyes. She was very pretty and always dressed her best. She currently was flipping through a magazine but her eyes were also on her wand pointed in front of her.
"Aubrey dear, have you seen your father? He was supposed to be unpacking the office." Camille said, her eyes trained on the boxes floating down hallways and up the stairs.
"No, I haven't" Aubrey replied, hopping on top of the counter. Aubrey had straight blonde hair like her mother but with blue eyes from her father. She was 16 years old and was going into her 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Why don't you go outside and see if there aren't any kids your age out. It is a beautiful day so I would imagine there is someone out there." her mother suggested. But Aubrey knew that it really wasn't a suggestion so she grabbed her guitar from her room and made her way to the brook behind the house in the woods.
When she reached it she sat down and took off her shoes and dipped her feet in the refreshing water from the summer heat. Picking up her guitar she thought of a song she could sing and strummed the first few cords and began to sing.
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,
Aubrey loved this song. She splashed her feet in the water and continued her song.
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're... the other side of the world
to me
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're... the other side of the world -
Suddenly a twig snapped followed by small thud and a groan. Aubrey turned from her seat,hair flying, pushing the guitar to the ground as she turned. There sprawled on the ground was a messy haired boy. He had jet black hair and glasses with hazel eyes behind them.
He looked up and grinned. "Ello, James Potter." He said pushing himself off the ground. He wore jeans and a plain red shirt under a jacket.
Aubrey recognized that last name. The Potters were widely known for their kindness and hospitality to muggles. "Aubrey Cunnings" She said still in thought.
"You don't sound like your from here." James said pushing his brows together.
"I moved from the states two days ago" Aubrey explained while she stood up.
"Oh, so did you flew over" he asked adjusting his glasses.
"You could say that" Aubrey said grinning. James looked confused and then cleared his throat.
"So you play guitar?" He asked pointing at her guitar that was still sitting on the ground.
"Yup, I also play piano," Aubrey said, "What school do you go to?"
At his James shifted from foot to foot, growing uncomfortable.
"I go to a boarding school." He said not meeting her eyes, then asked her "What school do you go to."
"I am going to a boarding school" Aubrey replied still smiling.
"What is it called?" He asked curiously.
"Well, I think it begins with an H, but I'm not quiet sure." She said picking up her guitar.
"Hm, well anyways, where do you live?" James asked. Aubrey was both sad and happy he had changed the subject.
"Come on, if you want you can come over. We are still unpacking so the house is a mess but I'm sure my parents would love to meet you." Aubrey suggested.
"Sure if you don't mind." James said moving to the side as Aubrey led the way out of the woods.
