..:*A Diary Full of Dreams*:..
~Chapter 2* The Wizard Emergancy~


Catherine was searching frantically for her diary, she'd never lost it before, if it had gotten into the wrong hands she would just die. "Mom have you seen my diary?" Catherine yelled from upstairs. "No hun, sorry, did you check your pockets?" her mother answered from downstairs. "Yep, but I still can't find it, do you think I lost it at school?" she looked under her bed. "It's possible, why don't you leave early tomorrow and trace back your steps? That's what I do when I loose something," and her mother's voice faded away as she went outside to tend to the garden.
An hour later Catherine had already checked Melanie's and Destiny's house where there was no trace of the diary. She also looked around most of the neighborhood. As she got the the top of the hill she noticed something sleek and green on the ground. "Hmm my bookmark!" she carefully examined it, no visible finger prints or marks were on it. Catherine searched the ground again, only to find what looked like a sleek wand. "No way!" Catherine jumped up trying to see if the wand was real. "Lumos!" she yelled, but nothing happened. "Oh right...only wizards can use wands," but then she saw black writing on the wand which wasn't too clear. When Catherine finally made the words out it said 'Weasley'. "Wicked!" forgetting all about the diary, she placed the wand in her pocket and raced home to show her mother.
"Where is it?" Ron said looking under a pillow. "We don't know Ron, you just lost it, it's not the end of the world you know," Hermione answered picking up her books, "er - nevermind maybe it is..." she finished with a frown. "Ron just forget about it, tell Filch, he'll probably find it," Harry said, helping Ron. "Are you sure? I mean i'll probably flunk a lot of classes without my wand," Ron was worried, almost as worried as Hermione when exam results come out. "Ron it'll turn up now come on we have to go to Herbology," Hermione pulled Ron up and they all walked out of the Common Room.
As the Gryffindors walked to their classes the speakers came on and the students froze instantly in their steps. "Attention all students, since this is one of the biggest places for wizards, there will be wizards from all over Europe coming to stay with us in our Underground Emergancy Hideout. This may seem strange to you all but please be calm and go to your Common Rooms to wait for your Head to pick you up. I must add we did not do this in a VERY long time, so please bare with us, thank you and best wishes!" The speakers went off and there was a lot of chit-chat from the rushing students.
"Mom look at this!" Catherine rested the wand on the table for her mother to look at it. "Why this could be worth something, it's probably a movie prop!" Cat's mother said. "Are you sure? It looks pretty real to me," Catherine said staring at the lettering. "That's because it's a prop, they MAKE them look real," and her mother placed the wand carefully on the counter while walking out of the room. "I wonder if it really is real," Catherine said under her breath.
When Ron, Harry, and Hermione got to the crowded Common Room noises got louder and worried 1st years were running around screaming. "I TOLD YOU! It's not like anyone LISTENS, I mean we're all in big trouble!!" Hermione shrieked holding her head in her hands. "Hermione we made a big discovery we're going to be in 500 books! Think about it we just won't be reading about Harry anymore! No offense, Harry," said Ron, who was holding his sister close, they could see she was very worried now. Just then McGonagall rushed into the Common Room. "Everyone I want to see 7 lines, each a different year NOW," she yelled pointed to the Gryffindors. The Gryffindors hurried and got what they needed such as their owls and everything packed in their trunks, it looked like the last day at Hogwarts.
As all the students piled into the Underground Emergancy room with trunks and animals, all of the Professors tried to calm them down. After the screaming and yelling was over, Dumbledore decided to make a speech. "Hello staff and students! First of all I'd like to take this time to thank the professors for helping out today, and Hagrid who's out on the grounds welcoming groups of wizards and showing them here. Please make room for the other wizards and witches coming into the room!" and Dumbledore helped Professor Sinistra with some crying 2nd years. Harry could see there was no need to make room, the Emergancy room was enormous. You could just about fit 1,000 Hagrids in it.
Before Catherine took her shower she checked her pockets in her dirty clothes. Her hand touched something long and pulled it out. It was her bookmark. "Oh shoot! I forgot about my diary!!" Catherine took a glimpse of the wand. "No...no way, that's just impossible!" Cat paused for a moment. "MOM!!" she yelled running down the stairs with both the wand and bookmark. "Why'd you yell, Catty?" said Catherine's mother. "Mom, I found my diary bookmark close to the wand, you don't suppose...?" she said in an awed voice. "Oh of course not! Maybe you dropped the bookmark near the wand or something," and her mother continued with reading the newspaper. Cat kept looking at the wand, wondering if her mother was right.
