Chapter 2:

"Eli, my dearest…" was whispered into my ear. I tried opening my eyes or looking around but I couldn't see a thing. I felt kisses being places on my neck… some strong hands holding me passionately from behind. I tried to talk but nothing came out of my mouth, I tried to turn around and fight back my desire to return the indulgencies, by pushing this unknown figure away, but that captivating voice spoke again "Elisha my most beautiful, you know you're the only one for me…"

I awoke groggily from my sleep, and suddenly feeling a blush creep onto my face as I remembered that totally disgraceful dream. Where on earth did that dream come from? And who was the person holding me and well, showing their affection in such a, well, indecorous way so to say…? I recognize that voice from somewhere.

My mind kept flowing in circles, haunted by the beautiful voice in my dreams… Well, not that I was interested in an amorous way or anything, it's just I couldn't put a face or a name to the voice I heard, and as a Ravenclaw, unsolved puzzles happen to be my weakness.

I was so engrossed in remembering the voices of those close to me that I hardly realized when an owl flew into the kitchen as I drank my morning tea and dropped an elegant letter on the table beside my breakfast.

"Aren't you going to open that sis, or are you too scared to face Hogwarts?" But I hardly heard Julian at all, that is until he said the word Hogwarts, of course. "Get over yourself Julian." I muttered as I carefully broke the familiar seal and brought out the thick, rich parchment.

The letter contained two pieces of parchment, one reminding all students about the term beginning on the 1st of September and stating the time of the departure of the train to Hogwarts, reminding all students to please be on time.

The second contained the booklist for the 5th years. There were only two books on the list as I suppose we'll be using last year's books this year too. The two books were 'The Standard Book of Spells Grade 5' by Miranda Goshawk, and 'Defensive Magical Theory' by Wilbert Slinkhard.

I can't wait for the 6th year, when I finally get to drop most of the subjects I do now.

For my OWLs, I'm taking Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Arithmacy, Ancient Runes, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology.

Herbology and History of Magic being the only two subjects I don't actually like out of that list of nine, otherwise I'm quite happy with my subjects.

"Booklist, Eli?" asked my mother from across the room, as she casually looked up from her book.

I made a noise that faintly resembled that of a cow as I forked another piece of bacon into my already full mouth.

I heard something sounded like "And I thought she resembled a pig before she started eating" from where Julian was now sitting. However, speaking required somewhat of an empty mouth, so unfortunately I couldn't make a witty comment just right now.

"When do you want to go to Diagon Alley, Eli?" my mother asked.

After what seemed like thirty seconds, in which I struggled to chew and swallow all the bacon I'd shoved in my mouth I answered, "How about this afternoon if you don't mind? I'd like to look over the new text books I have to buy before leaving for school."

I knew Julian was uttering the word "Nerd" even before the word was formed.

"You say nerd like it's a bad thing, brother dear, won't you remember your own mother is too a nerd?"

"Whatever" with that, oh so intelligent remark, Julian finally got up and left the room, leaving me to my thoughts once again.
