It was cold that morning as my mother, my brother and I got off the train. As I stepped onto the platform I saw the luscious green country side, it was far different from my usual surroundings in London. I breathed in a scent of freshly mowed grass.
We certainly didn't look like a happy bunch, dressed in all black, my mother with tears in her eyes. But I guess that's what a funeral should be like. I never really met my Uncle Diggory, so I don't really know how to feel. Some said he was crazy, but now that he is gone, the family seem to be alot more sympathetic.
My older brother, Cedric, stood beside me, not really knowing how to feel either. But in every bad comes a good, and in this case, the good is that Uncle left his country estate to us.
My black heels clicked as I walked across the platform, where a small car was waiting. As we slid into the car I sat opposite my mother. Her eyes red from crying with grief. Life had been tough on her lately , both my father and my eldest brother were commissioned to fight in the war, and we haven't heard from them yet.
I looked over to my side to my brother, who was deep in thought. His brown eye brows pushed together to enforce a line on his forehead, underlining his crystal blue eyes (a Kirk family trait). I looked out of the window viewing the bright green buzzing past.
I was instantly amazed at the largeness of uncle Kirks estate which was the size of a palace! As the car pulled up I watched masses of other people walk through the large doors dressed in black.
I looked around at people surrounding me from the front of the ballroom(which turned into a church like place), they were mostly old. There were some young people, a few girls around my age or younger (probably distant cousins). But what really stood out for me was an old woman who went by the name Macready balling her eyes out a few chairs down.
After the ceremony I decided to rid myself of the boredom and take a adventure through the house which was now mine. There were alot of rooms and stairs, so many you could get lost (which is what eventually happened to me). I found I big room with historic artefacts put on show like a museum I walked my way over to a golden crown on a royal looking red cushion. I put it on my head, a perfect fit. I danced happily over to a large silver mirror and admired the golden crown with sapphires on my dark brown curly hair.
I wondered around more aimlessly trying to find my way back to the ballroom. I looked through every door, each one had nothing in it. Such a waste of space.
I kept trying doors until I found a room with a giant wooden wardrobe. I stared at the beautiful wood work in awe, I wanted it. I opened the wardrobe, feeling a slight cold breeze as I did. It was lined with beautiful fur coats; I climbed into the wardrobe wondering how big it actually was. Wait...Is that a tree?
