Chapter 6

Time passed, and my new power made no further surprise appearances, probably because I didn't want it to. I was fortunate enough to catch mom rummaging through her drawer and pulling out the envelope, so I used my power to make it look like the letter was still there. Little did I know as I walked to my room where James was waiting for me that this would not be the last time she checked.

"Did it work?" he asked as soon as I walked in.

"Yeah. I still can't believe that Mom hid it from me, I wonder what her problem is…" I sighed. "I'm tired, using it takes a lot out of me."

"Ok…. I looked on the internet (something I had introduced to James, he thought it was fascinating) and I found this." James handed me a sheet of paper. It looked like this:

Fantasies and Legends 101

One of the less heard-of legends is the Hybrid. A hybrid is a human who has been blessed by a unicorn, becoming half-unicorn, half-human. Hybrids have silver hair like veelas, horns, and a tail. They usually have extraordinary powers….

And then it went on to the legend of some girl hybrid who saved her village from a monster. I looked at James.

"Do you think it could be true?" he asked. "I mean, you do have the silver hair and the powers, but the other things don't fit!"

"Yeah... I really don't know. Maybe I'll find something in my textbook at Hogwarts. Who knows?"

Time lapse: approx. 3 days

In the days when my parents were kids, they got their Hogwarts stuff right after they got their letters. But in this day, we get our letters 3-7 days after we send the forms back, to ensure that if the child could not attend, they would not get the list of books and such and blab to other schools about what we are studying...

When we were all at the breakfast table, we had a surprise brought in the form of an owl carrying two letters. It was our list of things for school! The owl got there in time after all! I would get to go!

But my hopes were crushed by the look on my mother's face when she read the letter. "Lily, dear, can you come into the living room, please?" Her voice was the honeyed one she used when she was angry. As soon as we were out of sight she grabbed my arm.

"I don't know how you got that letter to Hogwarts, but I assure you, you will not be going. We buy your stuff so Tonks and Lupin won't get suspicious, but then you will feign an illness and miss the train, do you hear me?" she hissed. I nodded, and she released me. But as I went back to the table, my mind was already forming a plan.
