Chapter 2- The Children
Five years had passed and as the children grew older, they were treated worse and worse. The Pontales had more money then they needed and they lived in a mysterious mansion that twenty people would be able to live in but they insisted that the children's room be in the basement. It had dark hallways and boarded up rooms. Pearle and Lucas had always wondered what was in the rooms but they were told never to go in, around, or near them.
Pearle was turning ten the next day and would be departing for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in two days. She would catch the train on August 31, so she could settle in.
"I'm gonna miss you Lucas."
"I'm gonna miss you to Pearly, but you're gonna have a much better life at Hogwarts than you have here. Anyway, I'll meet up with you in a few years, and I'll see you over the summer. You're leaving on Thursday, right?"
"Yep." replied Pearle.
"Ok. Well I'm going to go to bed. Nighty night!"
Pearle and Lucas were very close since they got no satisfaction from their parents. The days flew by, and Pearle left for Hogwarts. Lucas soon missed her more than anything.
