"So when I went to get Rose and Hugo's money for, you know the school year, it was ghastly how these goblins treated me." Dad then stabbed his meatball full of rage, and spoke between eating the meatball. "I mean why are they so nasty, I just wanted to get my children's money." He said with his mouth full. Mum stared at him in disbelief; she couldn't stand rude table manners, in the matter of fact any rude manners at all! And Dad was really pushing it, meatball chunks flew around the table, including into my spaghetti.
Mum couldn't take his ill- manners anymore. She stomached it for about eight minutes and finally burst out, "Ronald how rude can you possibly be?"
Dad dropped his fork, and stared at my Mum with a confused expression on his face.
"You talk about how vulgar the goblins are, take a look at yourself, you are completely barbaric! Honestly Ronald, you are not the man I married!"
"Sure I am darling, I never changed." Dad made the wrong move, Mum slammed down her plate, tore off her apron, and stomped upstairs, slamming the door behind her.
Dad awkwardly laughed and whispered, "No pregnancy, but the mood swings haven't stopped."
The door flew open and Mum ran down the steps, "You are right below the vent, you yellow livered pigeon egg!" Mum then ran back up the steps and the slammed the door once again, but much harder this time; I'm surprised the door didn't come right off the door hinge. By the way were does Mum come up with those insults? They are the strangest insults I've ever heard.
I then stared again at Dad's meat chunk in my marinara sauce, "I'm not so hungry anymore, and I'm going to owl Lily." I slid my chair back and walked up the stairs.
"I'm not so hungry either." Rose announced politely the slid her chair back, tucked it under the table, and walked back upstairs behind me. Dad was left at the table alone; to clean the dishes, clean off the table, and with no one to talk to.
Before I could walk into my room rose grabbed my shoulder. I turned around and stared into her pale blue eyes.
"I need to discuss something with you." She informed.
"What?" I asked.
"Well I'll tell you if you come into my room." I followed rose into her room and sat down on her floral comforter.
"Remember we were by the pond earlier?" Rose inquired.
"Yeah, and guess what I found out, Mum didn't throw out my skateboard, it is under my bed, why do I always fall for your tricks?" I was so upset with Rose at first. She had me walk all the way home, I then embarrassed myself freaking out on Mum, I was almost grounded, but now it was a little funny, but I really did not want to admit that right now.
"Yes, sorry, but if you weren't so gullible maybe we wouldn't be going through this." Rose chuckled.
I shot rose a glare that read "You went to far, and Rose you're going down!"
"Hugo, we are getting off topic." My devious, red haired demon of a sister pointed out.
"No, we won't cross this bridge that fast; my car is out of fuel!" I can't even believe I uttered that cheesy saying through my lips, but you know what they say, you can't take words back.
"What?" Rose examined
'I really don't know why I said that." I confessed.
"Anyway, Hugo I invited you into my room for a reason.'
"Yeah, but I want to hear you apologize, because you inconvenienced me." I stuck my nose up high, and folded my arms across my chess. I loved seeing Rose stumble for the word I'm sorry. She was like Dad when it came to this. Shed didn't like to apologize.
"Sorry." Rose mumbled.
I put my hand behind my ear and said, "What can't hear you?"
"Sorry." She whispered, it was a tone louder, but I wanted to keep pushing her to the limit.
"Rose, the lord has blessed me with such colossal and divine crimson hair, but such small scaled, undersized ears." I taunted.
"I'm sorry!" She shouted. Her face was bright red, and veins were popping out her fore head.
"I except your apology my dear sister." Rose rolled her eyes, before she could say anything else though, Dad hollered from downstairs.
"Rose there's a bug in the kitchen." Dad had a severe case of arachnophobia, which means he hated spiders, but he didn't adore bugs either. Rose grabbed a fly swatter.
"Don't move I'll be right back." She then walked down stairs to assassinate the poor kitchen bug.
To inform you I get bored pretty easily, so after about two minutes I started lolly gagging with my amazing curly beautiful red hair. Okay, I sound vain, but it is nice hair and I appreciate my mother handing down the curliness, and Dad handing down the redness. So when I traced my finger on the back of my neck, I noticed something.
"The necklace! Where did it go?" I whispered to myself. I dropped down on the floor and searched the premises, nothing! Gone! Where could I have left it? Diagon Alley, I thought, but no I remember coming out of the fireplace with the necklace on, anywhere in the house, by the lake?
Rose walked into the room again. "It was only a beetle. Dad completely over reacted." She ten took a disinfected wipe, wiped off the fly swatter, and placed it into her drawer.
"Rose do you have any idea where my necklace is?"
Rose paused, and falsely questioned, "What necklace?"
"I came out Obscurus's with this necklace, it had all these shades of blue, and a aged silver medallion with a weird symbol engraved in it." I described.
Rose pretended to be unaware, "Oh, that sounds pretty, I hope you find it."
I raised an eyebrow, she didn't even ask who gave it to me, but it is better then being pounded with questions.
Rose's conversation to me came to a sudden stop, since it was about the necklace, she had nothing to discuss.
"So what were you talking about Rose?" I blindly asked, not knowing she took the necklace.
"I lost my train of thought. Have a good night Hugo." She then softly guided me out of her room, and closed the door behind her.
Unfortunately I witnessed Mum and Dad snogging in front of Rose's room! My stomach turned but I thought of the plus side, at least they made up.
I quietly snuck into my room pulled out my peacock feather, black ink, parchment paper, and started to write to Lily but before I could, I couldn't get my mind off that necklace, or that girl. Who really was Fallon Stanley? I closed my eyes, and rummaged through my memory, to attempt to remember that symbol on the medallion. No result though. I only talked to this girl five minutes, and she already burrowed herself into my mind! I can't stop thinking about that symbol, and what she said about her knowing me. I've never seen her before in my life.
I stared at my owl Alis, he was a horned owl that didn't make much noise, but here is the strange thing he loves beefaroni. You know the dish were instead of the macaroni cheese sauce, you use marinara sauce with ground beef. Alis can't get enough of it, so the house elves at Hogwarts are prepared to prepare big batches for him. They do that because, the house elves love me!
"Hey Alis, have you seen my necklace?" I asked while I stroked his feathers.
He just stared at me with his bright lime green eyes.
"Yeah, I don't know either." I continued to stroke Alis's soft feathers.
The next morning I woke up at my usual time around ten forty -seven. Breakfast was cold, and Mum, Dad, and Rose had finished eating. Mum was tidying up the living room, Dad was at work. Dad was an auror as well as Uncle Harry; they worked for the Ministry of Magic. Mum would usually be at work, she also works for the Ministry but it has to do with house elf rights or something, but she said things are slow paced, and our house was so untidy she had to stay home and clean it.
That morning I have received a letter from Eden Thomas. She's Dean and Padma's daughter; she is my age, my best friend besides Lily, and Noll Thomas's little sister. Noll Thomas is James's and Dom's age he'll be a sixth year this year. I opened the letter and it was written in blue ink. Eden's favourite colour in to write it.
August 29, 2020
Hugo,
Hey I haven't seen you all summer! Well I wouldn't say summer it was freezing outside! Anyway I just wanted to invite you over sometime, before we go back to school, hope you're free, have lots to tell you.
Sincerely yours,
Eden Thomas
I walked into the living room. "Hey Mum, can I hang out with Eden today, she has a lot of stuff to tell me."
"Sure honey, I guess, just come back at a reasonable hour." Mum demanded.
"Okay." I walked to the fireplace in the den, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and clearly pronounced, "781 Raggedy Shell Way." The purple powder filled the fireplace, and a minute later I was in the Thomas's living room."
