I stared at them, my mouth open in blatent disbelief, "Ho-how can that be…" There's no such thing as wizards or schools of wizardry…" I fell against the wall behind me, sliding to the ground and covering my face with my hands, tears of shock flowing down my face.
I felt a hand on my back, rubbing in soothing circles, I knew it had to be Summer, I was always closest to her. My thought was proven when she started to speak, "Alice, you know you aren't really my sister, right?" She asked timidly.
I looked up at her, "I had my suspicions, what are you saying?" I choked through my tears. Her hand continued rubbing circles into my back and the rest of my family gathered around me.
"You… you're not normal either…" My mother started, "You were given to us by your real parents…" My father continued for her, they had both started to cry by now, "Your parents…" They looked at each other, taking a synchronized deep breath, to steady themselves for the next this they said, "Your parents were wizards, they still are, but they sent you to us so you could escape the hardships f being a wizard…"
They took another breath and looked at the letter in my hands, "But it's your choice, do you want to be a wizard? Or do you want to stay here?" They asked me, their eyes sad.
I lifted my head from my hands, rereading the letter. Clenching my fist I looked up at them, "I want to go." I said, remembering when I was little and believed in fantasy and always wished to be a wizard. I remembered going to Summer and showing her that I could make things move with my mind… I remembered the power I could feel then.
"I want to go." I said again. My eyes following every move that my parents and siblings made, smiling weakly at them. "I love you, all of you, but I can feel it, this is what I HAVE to do. What I'm DESTINED to do.
I looked around, "I've got to go find a way to reply that I'm going." I waved to them all from behind my back and trudged up to my room. Looking around the room I started cleaning, my room is usually messy and I'm horrid at cleaning, but when I'm nervous I can't help but perfectly clean everything. Call it an anxious habit.
I looked out my window, trying to figure out how I could possibly send my letter back to say I could be going. I stared down at Genesee way, the street had a few lingering people around it, playing a game of soccer as the sun set. I could name everybody in the group, they were all my childhood friends.
I didn't grow up badly, no I defanetly didn't. I had a happy childhood and everything bad that might have happened is buried deeply in my mind. I would play the nightly games of soccer on the corner with the Rielly kids, we're the ones that started it, soon the Whites, Moores, and Nygards joined us, soon followed by the Nord's daughter, my best friend.
I had neither lonely nor a sad childhood, I grew up around friends and a loving family. But every once in a while I would have these nightmares… filled with gore and blood. I would always just shake them off and go back to sleep.
Finally the day had come, it was time to see if this school really existed. I had no supplies, as I didn't know where I could get a wand. So I went to the train station, looking for a way to get to the train. People passing me were calling out, 'Platform 9¾ this way. This way for Platform 9¾'
I followed them, remembering the strange platform number on my ticket. I bounced a little to get my bag to settle comfortably on my back. I couldn't risk losing it, it was mostly drawing supplies and books, but also my iPod and camera.
I watched as they ran into the wall and passed through, I followed, a little scared, but thinking, If they can do it, surely I can too? I passed through the barrier with no problem. People were looking at me strangely though, and I soon figured out why, I didn't have a trolley like the rest of them with a big trunk on it. I blushed, hurriedly finding a seat on the train.
Who should I have her meet? You guys choose. I'm going from the next generation of Harry Potter. Personally I was thinking she meets Scorpius? But I'm not sure, she's not going to have a romance with him though, neither him nor Albus. Should she meet up with Molly? Or Teddy? Have an idea who she should meet up with? Leave it as a review! Reviews XD would be fantasmic!
