A Mere Muggle

by KimbotheJimbo

Cassiopia Black is just a muggle. At least she thinks she is. Abandoned at the age of five, her childhood memories are vague and blurry. Life is pretty boring in the mansion, and Cass is willing to do anything to slide some time. So when she finds two men dueling in the forest behind her house, Cass thinks that she has finally found her own adventure.

1. Daily Routine

I sighed and pulled on my t-shirt and shorts. Another day, let's see what I have to do. Umm... Mom said to do... Right! Math homework, uh, play piano, um... I racked my brain, I was forgetting something, and I really didn't want my mom finding out that I didn't do whatever she wanted me to do. Whatever, we can figure it out after breakfast.

I stepped into my bathroom, we had just recently moved into a new house, so I got to pick all my furniture. Okay, brush teeth, wash face, put on contact lenses... check, check, check. Rushing down the stairs, I saw something flash before my eyes. Kind of like...a snake? Whatever, I have a deathly fear anyway.

''Georgie, what do you want for breakfast?'' I asked my twin brother, knowing it was pointless, he always said the same thing. Which was-

''Sliced peaches and oatmeal, with a teensy bit of brown sugar in my oatmeal please, '' Guessed it.

I sighed and got to work, Georgie was a sweetheart, but cooking the same thing every morning was a bit boring. Turns out, I'm a pretty decent chef, and I like cooking, so I looked farther in the topic and now I can make a ton of stuff, but Georgie doesn't even seem to notice.

You may notice at this point that my life is very boring, I was craving something more, anything interesting, even the teensiest bump in the road. So I did what I always do when my parents aren't home, go on an adventure. I grabbed my Nike Trainers and slipped them on and expertly unhooked my bike from the bike rack like I had done it a thousand times- which I have -and rode into the woods behind our house.
