Chapter 1: Letter, Adoption, Did I Mention MAYHEM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suze POV (haven't done this type in a WHILE! dont flame me for it!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I just got back from my date with Jesse, my boyfriend. Yeah I know, 3 AM's a bit late, but who cares. But when I got home and I saw that there was an OWL on my bed, I sort of freaked.
Yeah, I know. It's an Owl, woohoo. But seriously, It was CREEPY. After midnight and there's this dark, bright eyed bird thing on your BED. Yeah, you get it now.
"Uhhhh hi?" Very stupid, I know. Sure, like the thing can talk to me back. But before I knew it, the owl dropped a letter just like that, and LEFT. Great, I'm stuck with a letter from an OWL.
Yay!
Not.
Okay, so yeah I'm tired from staying out later and now wide awake, meaning I just have to open this letter.
I'm opening this letter. Or trying. Now let me tell you something, I'm NOT weak. And this envelope was like, THICK. Plus the seal's thick too. What'd they think would happen, someone steal it. I mean, it came from an OWL for God's sake!
Anyway, after finally getting it opened I see thin papers. So what, you get an indestructible envelope for wimpy letters! Smart, really smart.
Not.
So I look at the first letter, it read:
Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (who?)
Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump (WHAT THE HELL IS A MUGWUMP!), International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Susannah Simon,
We are pleased to inform you that you've been accepted into Hogwarts. We usually don't allow students come in so late, seeing as final year is when the students are 17 years old, but you're a special case. As this may be a surprise unless Helen (a/n thats her mom name right?) Ackermen has already informed you about being adopted. Your twin brother, Harry, is in danger along with all of the Wizarding and muggle, excuse me your, world. We need him, and you, to help stop Voldemort, this dark, evil wizard. A person will come to see your decision in one week after you have received this letter. There is also another paper included with a list of school supplies
Yours Truly,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
Ps: We know about a Mr. Jesse de Silva and his past, he may also attend with you if he so wishes.
Pps: Your shifter abilities are also known to us, and are hoped to help us and your brother with the proceeding war.
Right, like I'm gonna believe some guy who's a 'Supreme Mugwump', whatever that is. Right. But the whole adoption and twin brother thing did freak me out.
You would be too. And how'd this person know about Jesse, and me being a shifter! Or, was this the work of Paul? If it was, he is SO dead.
And somehow, I still felt the need to talk to my mom. If she was my real mom that is. Not now, oh no. She at least deserves to sleep! And so do I, goodnight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yay, I'm up! Not. I mean I ONLY had, like what? 4 hours of sleep! I need about 8 to be satisfied and not kill someone. But I got up anyway because I had to talk to my mom, no matter what. So after Jake, aka Sleepy, called me for breakfast after the 10th time I yelled Shut Up and proceeded to do all that morning stuff and went to great my 'family' good morning.
But I did NOT forget that letter, Oh no I did not! That's the only reason why I woke up, much less left my room.
Although, Jake saw the letter and was all "what's that?" and I was like, "None of your business."
Too harsh, I know, but who really cares anymore. I sat down in my seat at the table and after everyone was there I turned to my 'mom', if I could still call her that, that is.
"Mom, is this letter for real, or just some bogus thing?" I asked as I handed her the letter at her confused look, along with everyone else's.
The first thing I saw was sadness show on her face, oh this was real alright! Thing is, I can't stand to see my mom cry, "It's true. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was told not to, the reason they gave you away was because of a prophecy foreseen. That you would be what Voldemort would want, and nobody could know. Only your parents, Albus, and I myself knew." Mom answered. Wow, now I feel sad. But before I could be all sad Brad just had to speak "Huh? What's going on?"
"Hold on Brad." My Mom answered and turned to me, "What do they mean by 'Shifter Abilities' and 'Jesse's past'?"
"Uh..." Oh shit. They're gonna find out. This is the greatest day of my life!
Yeah, right!
"Yeah, I'll explain that after breakfast" I replied quickly, and my mom finished saying the letter's contents would be explained latter.
Wow, fast breakfast if I have a say in it. So, now we're in the living room all sitting with an awkward silence.
Very Awkward.
I had to talk first, obviously, "Okay. How about I start at the beginning?"
No answer needed, so I continued, "Well let's start with the basic explanation of a mediator. They're what you call someone who can see, touch, feel, ghosts. To them, ghost's are like living humans, only with a glow to their aura and such. And a shifter is a step above them. You see, these 'shifter' abilities allow you to move things with your mind, which is very advanced. And go back in time. Shifters can also go to the 'shadowland', a place where ghosts go after they have crossed over, sort of like a before hell or heaven thing. But if they keep on using their abilities they can end up, simply put, a vegetable." Oh, but was I finished.
After everyone showed they understood I continued, "And as you see, I'm a shifter. And my job is to help ghosts cross over. To help them, sometimes I have to give a phone call or two. And other times, I may need to sneak around, or break some laws. Once before I had to use a Brazilian voodoo to get this ghost who blew her head up with a gun after being dumped to stop haunting me and the mission, which lead to that whole breeze-way incident. Plus when Paul had been beat up at Brad's party, courtesy of Jesse. He used to be a ghost, but after some complications, he became human." And I finished, though I ended up leaving out some parts; like how Jesse used to haunt my room, and all my near-death experiences. I mean, I don't want to give them heart attacks!
"So, you can talk to ghosts." Brad finally spoke first, after letting it all settle into his head the thought of what I was capable of, "Cool. I think."
"Now," I said turning to see my mother, eh, adoptive mother, "What's with the whole adoption thing."
"Okay, well: Lilly Evens and I became close after I moved and your 'father' moved down the street from her once we were married. I knew she was a witch and her husband a wizard. We were still friends; unlike her other friend's who'd shunned her away from their lives when they found out, for they were afraid of what she was capable of doing.
"I and Professor Dumbledore, plus James, your father and her husband, knew about the pregnancy with twins. Everyone else had thought it to be just Harry, your brother. You see, there was this prophecy. It was said that the Dark Lord, Voldemort, would come and use you for his own needs. The prophecy said that you would have a power within you that would give an advantage to whoever held it. We were all scared, and after I and your adoptive father talked about it, we had decided to adopt you and raise you as our own child. But when Lilly and James died when Voldemort came for you, Harry had survived and they thought it to be safe for him to live with relatives so there would be no suspicion of you, Suze." Wow, big explanation.
"So, Suze is adopted?" David asked.
"Yes." Andy replied. I think he knew, just a guess though.
I'm still confused, did I mention? And just then, the doorbell rings. Oh god let it be Jesse!
"I'll get that." I said; I didn't like the new found silence that came once everyone began thinking.
"Hello?" I said as I opened the doors, "JESSE!"
Too happy? Who cares, he's my boyfriend. You hear that girls, MINE!
"Querida, what's got you all happy?" He asked in that confused voice. Okay, I'm so in love. And I have the hottest guy in the WORLD, and ghost world too, don't forget.
"Seeing you." I replied, cliché I know.
"Okay, well. Did you get a letter today?" He asked getting out one from his pocket from the same Hogwarts place.
"Yeah, and you know what?" I asked although I knew no answer was needed "I'm adopted, and I have a twin brother!"
"That's some interesting news, Susannah." Jesse replied and kissed me lightly, "My letter says I'll be a helper in their hospital wing for their healer is retiring soon."
"That's great!" I exclaimed; I'm in a happy mood. Sue me.
Wait, dont.
"So, did your family hear about your powers yet? I felt like you just told them." Wow, he's hot and psychic. Cool. I'm so lucky, I know. It's called Karma people, get some.
"Yes, and they're still figuring it all out, plus the whole adoption thing. They know you were once a ghost, just not the bedroom thing." I spoke back and we both went into the living room.
Jake looked up and glared at Jesse, "He was a ghost in your BEDROOM!"
Heh heh, how'd you know?
"What?" I asked still confused.
"David just told us." Andy replied, obviously infuriated. Sure not daughter by blood, but he's a dad of a teenaged daughter and having some 21 actually over 100 year old guy living in your daughter's room DOES make him mad.
Damn David, He's dead. Well no, cause than he'll come back and haunt me. Damn. Again.
"David." I said angrily, "What did you tell them."
"Um, should I run?" He said scared. Sure he's smart, but the glare I was giving could KILL!
"Yes," And there you go, he runs and I chase. Or would have; my stupid hot boyfriend, known as Jesse, stopped me.
"Querida, don't. If you do anything to him, you'll regret it." Oh god, he's too hot to disobey. Damn it all!
"Fine, but he's getting punishment either way!" Still mad here ya know!
"David's fine Suze, but you, you we're not so sure of. Why did you not think to include us in the little known fact that Jesse haunted you're BEDROOM?" Great, Brad's acting as an older brother. Why was it the day that he decided to take that role, did it have to be NOW? What happened to that good Karma I just had?? Huh, where DID it go!?!
"Not my fault he died there." Real mature Suze, real mature. "And it's too late now. Besides he's living here and with me, and that's all that matters"
Yay, I get to kiss my boyfriend! And so there I go, kissing him which soon became a make out until Mom started 'coughing'.
"Sorry." I said blushing, and Jesse didn't say a thing. Gr...
