I own Harry Potter. Just Kidding.
Chapter Four
James Potter is a nice boy. He's a little like a calm version of Sapphire. Calmer. A group of people come to the house, one with a long beard and hair, and another man, who looked young, with withered legs and a missing eye, covered by a fake and moving one.
"Hello, Albus." Mrs. Potter says to the man with the beard.
"Hello Jane, Professor Dippet has asked me to talk to you about the girls you have taken in."
"Yes, Alastor, anything to drink?"
James peered over us, spying all along the top of the stairs, looking into the dining room. Saph is wearing a bright blue shirt, so colorful that it scares me into thinking that we will be noticed. Who are these strange people? In fact, what was all of this? Why is it so...? Magical? Different? Absurd?
All of those words explain what I feel quite nicely. But at the same time, none of them really explain it. This place can't be real. How could it?
"They are witches, the three of them, and they cannot go back home. We will accept them into Hogwarts, as long as you keep them away from muggles. The American wizarding government-" Albus gets cut off by Mrs. Potter.
"The girls are staying with us as long as they need." She says firmly. "We know that they have not ever shown their powers yet, so after building it all up inside of them…" Mr. Potter finishes her sentence.
"Who knows what trouble might happen. They will stay in the house until school."
"Try and push some magic out of them, I say, then they can't build it all up." Alastor says and Mrs. Potter gives him a death glare.
"A witch?" I turn to face James. "Witches don't exist." I say, pulling at the chain that hangs around my neck.
"That's what we are. This is the Wizarding World." He shrugs.
"It's everywhere! Lack of gender equality! Wizards are boys, man." Sapphire murmurs so only I can hear her.
"Witches are stupid and are meant to scare children." James shakes his head.
"You're crazy."
"Saph, show him crazy."
"Pleasure."
"Saph, you can as long as it has nothing to do with knives, shoelaces, duct tape, and a pair of sunglasses." Amber puts her elbow on Sapphire's shoulder.
"Drumsticks?" Sapphire pleads.
"Nope," Amber says stiffly.
"Hey, at least I won't be alone on my first day of school."
Review ASAP.
