Wow, what an odd dream. I mean its not every night when you dream about wizards and witches fighting each other to the death. And just who was it that I was in the dream? I open my eyes and groan, try to get up, but then flop back down again and close my eyes. I hate getting up.
About 10 minutes later I get changed into my school uniform consisting of a worn black blazer; a baggy white shirt; scruffy black trousers and a broken clip-on tie . The only part of my uniform that isn't a couple years old is my shirt, so much of it is small on me. I head downstairs to grab some breakfast; just the usual cereal and a slice of toast. Quickly, I munch through the bowl of cereal and slurp up the remaining milk. With the toast however, I simply butter it and stick it in my mouth.
After breakfast, I head upstairs. Rather than being healthy and brushing my teeth, I go back into my room and lay down on my front. I reach out to grab my iPhone when unexpectedly I hear a girls voice in my head ask `Hello? Can you hear me? My name is Luna. Sadly I'm dead. Your head doesn't seem to be filled with wrackspurts.`
`Err, hello Luna, who even are you and why are you in my head and what even is a wrackspurt?` I answer putting my phone down confused.` And how can you speak to me if I'm dead?`
`I died 20 years ago in the Battle of Hogwarts but only recently has my soul gained any mobility. I accidentally possessed you last night and now my soul can't leave your body.` Luna replies to my questions in a quiet voice, I ask her if the dream I had was of her death.` Well Tom Farnaby, I guess you know a bit more about me now.` she says ,`Also now I'm in your body I may be able to prove a theory of mine on how anyone can get magic with a little help.`
`What do you mean by that. Could I actually do magic? I hurriedly ask her, excited about the prospect of being able to do magic.
`Yes! Definitely if my research is correct!` exclaims Luna excitedly, `All someone needs to be able to do magic is a magical soul and a magical bod. I may be able to give you both of these- though not without consequence. If you let me posses you for half an hour your body will turn into my body and in our circumstances we can merge our souls due to them now being linked. However you will have to live in my body and their could be other side effects, though that won't be an issue.`
`So basically, I can get magic if I become you and merge souls with you?` I ask, not sure if losing my body is a sacrifice made up for by magic, though at least I'll be free of my horrible foster parents.
`I'll let you dwell on the matter at school today.` she says leaving me wondering what to do.
I head off to school a few minutes later, more excited than usual. Walking to school was the usual drag of having 10 minutes with no-one to chat to with the occasional dick-head trying to run you over with their bike. As I enter school I check my timetable only to realise how much today is going to be a bad day.
First was history, a subject that I enjoyed but has limited uses for jobs in my opinion. We are currently studying World War 2 and how Hitler invaded France in such a small amount of time. Maths was next, which was alright apart from Luna wittering on about something called Arithmancy.
In Spanish later that day Luna decided to ask me if I had decided yet. `Luna , you know, I think I will take you up on your offer. Can't be much worse than my current life, when will we do it?` I say to her, remembering the bad memories of when my foster parents beat me.
`Tonight, but before dark so the nargles don't get us, after school maybe.` she says to me, clearly thinking of what might happen when I become magic.
It's now 4:03pm and I have made it to the woods outside my village - where Luna suggested to do the transfer. She says that all I need to do is think: `I will let you control my body.` and it will be done. Wait why can't I move my arm? `LUNA!` I shout.
`Don't worry Tom, its starting.` she speaks through my mouth. Suddenly I feel my body tingling, the feeling moving up from my feet. All of a sudden, my shoes and trousers feel loose and Luna looks down and my trousers seem very baggy. The tingling reaches my hips and I feel my bones shrink but push my hips outwards in a large crack. I feel especially odd as the space between my legs frees out, and at the same time my gut goes numb. The tingling covers my whole torso now and my vantage point has noticeably decreased. Luna looks down at my left arm and I can see it shrinking down and the skin get much smoother. The tingling then passes through my vocal chords and Luna says `Wow that felt weird.` with a voice dreamier than mine and even Luna's usual voice. The tingling then moulds my face into that of a young girl, my hair changes colour to blonde and grows far down my back.
Luna then shouts "CONFUNDANTUR!" and I fell my mind erupts in pain as it clashes with Luna's. Our souls dance around each other elegantly as my light green soul slowly merges with her sky blue soul. Then suddenly the feeling stops and Luna says `we did it` before I feel control to me as she faints.
