Please read and review.
It was raining out side, making the skies dark grey. A single car drove down a road dividing a forrest in two.
In the back seat of the car was a stubborn teenage girl, whos dark brown hair and bright green eyes lit up the car.
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
The girl sharply turned her attention to her little brother sitting next to her. "Shut up, fall asleep and we'll be there before you know it."
The young boys eyes were staring into those of his sister's. His eyes began to water and his mouth turned to a frown. He turned to face the window and burst into tears.
"Look what you've done now." Her father said his atention still on the wet road ahead.
"Natalia how many times do I have to tell you, your brothers only Four. Don't yell at him." Her mother's sweet voice remained calm, but there was an obvious note of dissapontment.
"For the last time, call me Lia" The 15 year old girl said, drawing her attention back out the window.
The interior light was on, allowing Lia's mother to read a map because the family was lost.
The trees formed a backround, for Lia's face. She was stairing deep into the reflection of her face on the glass.
The family was driving to there grandparents house which was a trip they made rarely due to the distance of the journey. Usually their grandparents would come to them.
Lia was listerning to her parents argue over directions, the next thing she knew she was in a school classroom.
Everyone was laughting at her. "Why are you laughting at me?" The classroom was a dull marone colour lit by candles floting in the air. She had had many dreams of this school before but it was like no school she had ever seen before. She soon realised what every one was laughting at, she looked down and found herself wearing a pair of pink pajamers with white bunny rabbits printed on them. Everyone in the room had brown sticks drawn and in an instance all the people pointed the sticks at her and a strange feeling came across her, she was now looking up at everybody, she put her hand out and it was green, "I'm a frog". The laughting continued to get louder until a figure burst open the doors. The laughter stoped immediatly. It was her Aunt Ellette she was dressed in a black robe like the rest of the children in the room.
"Lia, Lia wake up your here."
The classroom faded into the distance, her eyes opened to the face of her Aunt. "How are you?"
Lia jumped out of the car wrapping her arms around her aunt. She rarly saw her Aunt Ellette, as she was always away working. She worked at a boarding school and only came to her parents house during the christmas break. Lia felt that she was the only person in the world that understood her and she was the only person that called her Lia.
"Wow, its nice to see you too," Ellette said hugging her Neice back. "How are you? it was a long trip."
"I'm fine, can we go inside it is freezing out here." Lia folded her arms on her chest.
"Yes lets, Your Grandparents are inside, its too cold for them." Ellette looked over at her big brother "Frank, how are you? Mother is still as stuborn as ever, and hello Alice."
She linked arms with Lia and they lead the way up to the house followed by Lia's Parents and little Brother.
They got into the house where they found their grandfather had got up and was in the kitchen making them all tea and making the two kids hot chocolate.
"So Neville dear how are you?" Lia's grandmother asked Lia's little brother.
"I'm good, I can count to twenty and say my ABCs" Neville said in the typical four year old voice.
His grandmother lifted her hand and hit herself on the head. "Failure, Absolut Failure, you should have brought him up the same way I brought my children up, he was a squibe any way, takes after his sister, they shame the Longbottom family."
"Mother." The siblings said in unusionn.
"Please we chose what we think is best for our children please lets not talk about this anymore." Frank said to his mother, most upset with his mothers utter rudeness.
"Whats a Squ...wibe?" Neville asked having trouble with the last word.
"Never you mind." His mother said.
"Aunt Ellette I had a dream about a School, and you where there you were wearing black robes and so where all the other children. All of the children where holding sticks and they pointed them at me and the next thing I knew I was a ... a frog." Lia said slowing as she went.
All the adults gasped.
"What..? Did I say something?"
"Premonitions." Her grandmother said quietly to herself.
"I think it is time for you two to go to bed, it's been a long day. I'll be down in a minute." Alice said to her children.
Lia got up from the floor and went around and Kissed all of her family, Neville following closly behind.
Alice stoood up and faced her husbands mother with an angry expression "Augusta, you know our wish is not to involve our children in the world we used to live in, we just wish you would go along with it."
"They are living a lie, Natalia should be attending Hogwarts where her Aunt works." Augusta said angally.
"We are doing what we think is safest, Hogwarts has had security problems in the past and a girl died. As long as we are able to protect our children they shall remain under our supervision." Alice walked out of the room.
"Mother you have to help us with this, we made a decision, and we are going to stand by it." Frank re-enforced his wifes statement. And he too walked out of the room.
Augusta's husband walked back into the room carring a tray of mugs.
"Where'd they all go?"
