Disclaimer: It is my dream to be able to write as well as JK Rowling and own Harry Potter but as of today, I'm not even halfway there.

I really need you guys to review this one. I started writing this last year, but I recently looked back and it didn't look so good. So I finally figured out how to rewrite it. This is only my second attempt at a multi-chapter story, and the first one I believe is done. So please, R&R!

Wish me luck!


"What will I do when I leave?" a young girl asks as she sits in a warm living room with her family. " I have to go back to New York when Mom and Dad come back ."

Her grandfather strokes his long white beard as he thinks for a moment, then responds. "Remember this: you're braver than you believe…"

Her grandmother, clad in her emerald green robes, and godfather with long black hair hear the old man begin the quote, and jump in.

"…Stronger than you seem..." The godfather says.

"….smarter than you think…" The grandmother continues.

"…and loved more than you know." Grandmother, Grandfather, Godfather, and Girl finish simultaneously. The young girl giggles.

"I will never forget that." The young girl spoke as she fingered the family crest that hung around her neck. On the back, the words "Stronger, Braver, Smarter, Loved," were engraved as a constant reminder.

The girls parents would return from a Dentistry course to pick her up the next day, so the rest of the evening was spent laughing a smiling as another peaceful day as a family wrapped up.

If only it would last.
