Chapter 2 ~ Edith
THANK GOD! I am so glad to be getting away from my obnoxious family. I'll miss them, yes, but I've had it up to here with they're everyday happiness. Right now, I'm a little angry because of the fact that I'm in a 42 degree below zero airplane for what another... 8 hours? And not to mention it's 5am. Oh and did I forget to say? I'm sitting next to this fat ass 12 year old who wants my phone number, so not going to happen. Nothing worse than a guy who doesn't take a hint...much less one who's not even attractive.
Ugh.... okay..... I'm being too easily annoyed, I'll just sleep to ease away the pain. She thought as she drifted away.
One thing about me is I can easily sleep for more than 13 hours at a time. I've slept a whole day before and I'm still considered healthy, (or so the Doc. says, but what does she know?) so of course I'd be pissy if I had to wake up at 2 in the morning.
"Alright, may I have your attention please. This is your captain speaking, we have less than 3 minutes left before landing, so please buckle your seat belts, turn off all electrical devices and get ready to land. Thank You." I instantly woke up to that sexy British accent in the overhead speaker.
"UGH! FINALLY!!" I shouted, a little too loudly, I saw stares in my peripheral vision.
"Don't worry toots, I know you'll miss me and all, but you have no need to get angry when I can just give you my address and phone number and we can....hang out...while we're here. " The fat ass said.
"!!!" before I could even smack this...this...this twat, the plane landed abruptly and I bit my tongue. "SHIT!" I shrieked. My tongue was now bleeding, but I didn't give a fucktard!
I was the first bitch off the plane, well I had to stop and give the captain a kiss before then, which surprised him a lot, but I know for sure he liked it, one could tell instantly. MUHAHA!!
*A FEW HOURS LATER*
"Alllllright. I rented a hotel room, I ate and took a shower, mmm I feel so fresh now. So, now I can go to thissss...pub? I guess? To get to Diagon Alley...creepy name for a shopping area." She looked down at her directions the headmaster of Hogwarts mailed to her mother, then, obviously her mother gave to her. The crusty paper said to go to The Leaky Cauldron....that should be around the corner. Sky thought to herself.
"Okay, let's do this." she said out loud to herself. As she started stalking towards the pub-ish place, she noticed she was getting eyed by every male and an occasional female (Too bad. I'm not into that...or am I?) within a meter radius or at least anyone who could see her. And to her advantage, she had her best sorta summer-sorta winter-season-AKA spring-attire on. It was a short tight black and hot pink color block dress. It was shorter than her mid thigh and the sleeves were the sleeves that might as well be sleeve-less, that's how short they were. The top of the dress was hot pink and the skirt part of the dress from the boob-age, down was black. Her shoes were black, 4 inch wedges (pretty high I know, but its worth it today:). She wore a diamond necklace that said sky in cursive. She also had diamond studs in her ears, only one in both. Her hair was half up, messy bun and the other half was down, with long-ish side swept bangs. Her make up was light, just mascara and black eye liner. She really attracted a lot of stares....even from married men, which was creepy and there was no way in HELL she would become a home wrecker or whatever...yuck. She may look like one in other woman's eyes, but they're just jealous;)
So she found the leaky cauldron...it was sort of in an alley. It was dark, even in broad day light.
"...so creepy..." She couldn't help but pull down her dress a bit.
She saw the crooked and dirty Leaky Cauldron sign hanging over a door and building that screamed the 1300's.
"oh boy, I can already tell..." she looks down then back up "i will not fit in here very well." She cursed silently as she stumbled on a stone before walking into the old place. Sky walked in and forgot to shut the door, but remembered and did a 180, only to find the door shutting itself. She was shocked although, you couldn't tell if you looked at her face. It was more of a I-could-get-used-to-this kind of shock. She walked in and asked for a 'Rubeus Hagrid.' The man at the counter with messy dirty blonde hair and brown eyes looked in the direction behind sky, like he was trying to point with his stalker like eyes, then looked back at her in some kind of lust, ugh, gag me. She turned around instantly seeing a big...large...dirty...raggedy wall of some sort.
"What...the...hell..." she said as she looked upwards.
"Why Heller there. You don hap'n ta be Miss Sky Leighton now would ya?" He said
"Um...y-yes...I'm her" I stuttered
"Well good then. No need ta be scared girlie. I may look intimidatin', but you'll soon know otherwise. Now if you'll follow me." he said all in a booming voice and motioned sky to follow him.
We went through so many halls and turns, it gave me a headache, but we finally got there and we were in an empty room with brick walls with one or two brooms off to the side.
"uh..." I was so confused...we walked all that way to end up here? Then Hagrid did something unimaginable...he pulled out his wand. Ooooh~! He tapped it on a few bricks and all the sudden they moved out of the way to form a doorway, and all that was seen was people bustling about. They looked like they were shopping for supplies at target for the beginning of the school year at the last minute. Ha ha good memories.
"OH WOW!!" was all sky could say
"I know. It's amazin'. Okay girl, we gotta get your money from Gringotts Bank."
"??" okay, whatever, I followed Hagrid and got my money, except it was called sickles...lol AAAAHH we're getting stabbed and murdered by SICKELS! Lol okay...that was weird...and random.
"Okay, what's next Hagrid?" I soon got used to Hagrids huge height. It took a bit of balls though. I mean look at him!! Aaaaaanyways. Hagrid looked down at the girl and said "Well, it's time for you ta go shoppin'"
"I can handle that much, but where are you going?"
"I'm goin' ta...handle some business. So, I leave everythin' up ta you and here's your supply list and such lass." I took the same old ugly crusty paper that my mom gave me from Dumbledor. I looked over the supply list which read...
Get books from Flourish and Blotts
Supplies from Wizarding Supplies
Get robes from Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions
Get quills from Amanuensis Quills
Get an owl from Eeylop's OWL Emporium (Optional)
Get quidditch supplies from Quality Quidditch Supplies (Optional)
Mr. Mullpepper's Apothecary for potion vials and.... "The Magical Menagerie?" She read out loud
"Well that sounds interesting. I think I'll go there first." She said to Hagrid, which was no where in sight. Sky shrugged and went her marry way.
She walked or more like, bum rushed, her way through the crowd and seemed to miraculously find the 'magical' store. She opened the door and the little crusty bell rang. She noticed this creepy ass man was standing behind the counter just....staring at her.
"um...yeah..." was all I could muster out
"What do you want?" the old man asked very rudely
"Well I don't know! I came to find out what you sell here. Rude." I shot equally as rude back.
"An American huh? Well, this is a store for magical and exotic creatures. If you have no business here, then leave." He had some nerve...but magical creatures? That sounded so tempting. I think I'll see what he has.
"Well, I want one, so show me some, ya old fart!" At first I thought he'd be offended at the last comment, but boy was I wrong.
His face softened "Ahhh, you sure are feisty eh? Just like me. Well, since you asked so kindly, I guess I could do just that. Come to the back with me please."
"??"
Of course I followed the dude. He really had me going with the fact that he said he had magical creatures and I was just itching to see them.
"Here are some of them..." He pointed to some shelves to my left, your right.
"...let me go bring out a more...interesting...one" with that he left
I looked around until my eyes fell onto a small brown and white puppy.
AAAAWWW! I thought immediately it looked so innocent.
As I went to touch it, the mongrel turned into some kind of...beast....i couldn't quite put my finger on it, but it was something. It barked and screeched and hissed and made all other sorts of crazy sounds andI flinched hard, so I walked fast away from the thing, it scared the SHIT outta me. As I kept looking and passing the ugliest and the weirdest creatures I finally stop at one that looks normal enough, but we saw what happened last time we thought an animal was normal in this store. I thought about the Owl Emporium that I'm pretty sure I passed on the way here.
'Maybe I should go there instead.' I thought, but something in the eyes of the little fuzzy creature made me want to stay with it and nurture it as if it were my own. Oh, and believe me, I've never felt that feeling before.
But, I think I've read about these creatures before, for some reason, it didn't seem the same. It was an all black serval with spots that looked like a jaguars, but they were white and the tail was longer than a normal serval's tail and it had dazzling blue eyes which, normally, it would have had black or brown. The color was similar to mine. If you really looked at it...it reminded one of myself. As I got closer and closer to its cage, the old dude from earlier popped out of nowhere and I jumped. He said "I found one here missy." He pulled a purple cover over the cage away. I looked at what was in it and wrinkled my nose in disgust.
"Ew, gross! What is that thing?! It smells like shit?!" I asked whilst plugging my nose with my hand.
"This here is a dragon." I looked at it again....that thing was repulsive. It was black and had mucus draining out of some holes on its body that were moving in a melody, as if it was breathing through them. If that thing was a dragon, then where the HELL did Walt Disney get the idea of the dragon in Sleeping Beauty? Okay, NOW I've seen it all.
"Get that icky thing away from me old man!" I almost puked on him until he pulled the cover back over the cage.
"Well, if that doesn't suit your taste, did you find one that did?" He asked
I pointed at the beautiful cat like creature.
"Ah, that is what I call a Panda Serval Minx. It's the only one in the world and it hates anything and everything." I looked at him and thought, whatever...I want it.
"Can I touch it?" I asked
"Sure, but don't sue me if it bites your--" He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed that the cat was obeying me and letting me rub behind its ears.
"What in the bloody hell?!" He yelled
With that I was off with my new best friend. The face of that man was great when he found out he was wrong about Edith, that's what I named her BTW. I was quite satisfied with my new pet, she listened to me very well, even though we had just encountered, it was like we've known each other for years. She laid in my arms and as I was petting her, she would purr. 'What a cat' I thought.
My day was long, but I managed it some how. I got all the things I needed even a few things that I thought would come in handy, like Quidd-whatever it was called. I didn't know what it was, but if this really is a wizard and witch world, then I'm guessing they use brooms, but not for sweeping. So, I bought, a firebolt. Apparently, it's the best broom out there right now. I could say it was nice, but even I could make better.
I made it back to the hotel I was staying at, because I felt that if I stayed at the leaky cauldron, I'd get raped by that guy from earlier. 'yuck' I shuddered.
I got to my room and as soon as the door closed I stripped of all clothes, turned the hot bath water on and added a LOT of bath bubble soap and a few soaking beads. As the water filled up, I took the chance to see how my diet was working. A few months before coming here, I was on a diet cuz I always thought I had the worst and fattest body. Mom always told me I had the best body, because I had a 'Body-licious' body as my mom would refer to Beyonce Knowles. I didn't like how HUGE my thighs were so I was fed up and took action. Now I look at myself and see beauty. I had c-34 cup breasts and my hips were still a little big but they were smaller than they've ever been and my stomach was small. I didn't have abs, but I was still skinny. My last boyfriend told me the best part about my body was how my stomach wasn't rock hard. He said he liked a soft-to-touch mid section on a girl. My height didn't change from when I was 15 years old, much, at least. I'm still 5 foot and ¾ of an inch. I KNOW I'm short, don't state the obvious, so whatever. I got into the tub, Edith right behind me. I indulged my senses with the cinnamon and vanilla essence candle and poured mango peach vanilla bath oil onto and around my body. I started thinking of some things while I was chilling in the tub. Like how my ex thought I was his first love, but then I found out he cheated on me when I walked in on him and this bitch psycho cunt, Elizabeth Minor. I HATED that bitch from the time I first met her in 3rd grade to now and forever, and my ex KNEW that. I can't even speak/think of his name, that's how much I hate him. And then he has the nerve to call me saying 'I love you and need you.' Ya, Bull...Shit.
As the time went by...i realized that I was thinking too much and the bath water got too cold. I hopped out and grabbed a towel for me and one for my baby, Edith. I took my blow dryer out of my bag and blow dried Edith so she wouldn't catch a cold over night...not like animals can, but there's no harm in trying. I put on my zebra bra and matching undies and thought whether or not I should put on pj's....nah I thought. Too much of a hassle. I hopped into bed and Edith laid right underneath the fluffy covers with me and we both instantly went to dreamland.
