Chapter 3: The Dream
It was a chilly November night. Clara was sitting at the kitchen table with her father playing muggle checkers. Her mother who was five months pregnant was in the living room knitting looking out the window towards the full moon every once and a while. "Jacob," Clara's mother said in a terrified voice. "He's outside the house."
Jacob Grant stood up knocking the checkers board from the table. "Audrey get Clara upstairs to the porkey," he whispered to Clara's mother before grabbing his wand and heading towards the front door.
"Mum," Clara said clearly puzzled. "What's going on?"
At that moment a large hairy creature jumped through the window. Jacob Grant began shouting curses and hexes at the creature. The creature being rather wolf like turned towards the man and jumped him. The creature bit him hard on the arm, ripping off most of the skin, and clawed at his cheast making the floor scarlet with blood. "Daddy," Clara screamed in unison with her father's screams.
Audrey Grant grabbed her daughters hand and ran upstairs with her. She thrust an old comb in her daughter's hands. "Hold onto this do not let go," Audrey instructed her as the screams of her father stopped.
"Mum, please tell me what-" Clara didn't finish as she let out a scream of terror as she saw the creature appered.
It leapt foward toward's Clara. It would have killed her unless her mother had not jumped in the way. "You will not lay a claw on my daughter Greyback," Audrey said fiercely.
"MUM!" Clara exclaimed as the porkey began to pull her away from her mother and Greyback.
