1 Chapter 2- A Trip To The Town



Sam woke up early the next morning and looked out the window and then to her clock, which read 5:30 am. She got dressed and walked downstairs where she saw Dreama cooking eggs and bacon. It smelled so good she walked right up for breakfast.

"That smells really good." She said hungrily.

"Yes it does. Thank goodness we're both having it for breakfast or I'd eat all of it." Dreama said and laughed.

They both sat down for breakfast and talked while they ate. Dreama started reading the Daily Prophet. She stumbled upon an article about a sudden outbreak of magical creatures around Hogsmeade and around Hogwarts. She wondered where they were coming from, but she didn't tell Sam.

"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade from some shopping?" Dreama asked Sam.

"Oh cool! Sure I will!" Sam replied excitedly.

"Ok, lets go then." Dreama said and they walked out the door.

It wasn't very far to Hogsmeade so they walked. When they got there it wasn't too crowded but there were many people. They walked around and then stoped at the Three Broomsticks.

"I have to meet someone, so you can go do what you want. I'll meet you at this spot in 2 hours." Dreama said then walked down the street.

Sam thought for a while for a place where she should go. After a few minutes she decided to go to Honeyduke's. She walked down the street to the shop. She was excited because the shop was full of delicious sweets. She opened the door and walked in. She hadn't been in Honeyduke's for the longest time. She picked out some Chocolate Frogs and Sugar Quills and bought them and looked around. She spotted someone in the corner of the shop. She knew she'd seen the person before, then she saw her, it was Liss! She ran up and said hi. They both smiled and hugged each other.

"Geesh, Sam. Long time no see. I heard you're staying with Professor Holly." Liss said.

"Yeah I am. She is really nice, but she had to go somewhere so I'm alone." Sam said with a mixture of happiness and depression.

"Well then we can go around town and check out the shops and see if we can find anyone we know." Liss said enthusiastically.

They walked down the street looking in shop windows and talking to people from school. They saw Zimmy, Teva, and Rachel. Sam was looking around to see if she could spot Cam, but she didn't have any luck. They continued walking down the gravel road stopping every so often to look at stuff. They stopped at a small restaurant to watch the passerby's. The outdoor restaurant filled up quickly, being that it was the only outdoor restaurant. A person taped Sam on the shoulder and asked if he could sit at the table and she said yes. The three didn't look at each other until Liss turned around and saw that it was Cam.

"Well, well, well look what we got here. It's Cam…" Liss said in an mock attitude. Sam turned around because she didn't believe Liss. She saw that it was actually Cam and smiled. At that precise moment Cam turned around too and saw Sam.

"Cam! Oh my gosh! Long time no see!" she ran over and hugged him. He smiled and hugged her back.

"What are you doing here?" He asked curiously.

"Well Professor needed to come here for some reason so I got to go along." Sam said.

"That's cool. Want to take a walk Sam?" Cam asked.

"Go, on, I'll go try to see if I can spot Seph." Liss said and walked away.

"Sure I'll go." Sam said and stood up.

So they walked together up and down the roads talking and laughing. Then Sam noticed Dreama amidst a group of people. They seemed to be talking about something, but she couldn't hear them. She walked over closer and dragged Cam along too.

"What are we doing?" Cam asked quizzically.

"There's professor and some people and I want to know what they are talking about!" she replied.

So she got closer and listened.

"…But this is a serious problem. If there is a kappa outbreak then that means that Sam's father is still alive. And we know that he is up to no good as usual." On the people in the throng of people said. Sam was shocked to hear this. Her father…. ALIVE? This was very surprising.

"Yes that is true. But is he working with You-know-who?" Dreama said.

"I do not know Dreama." The same person said.

"MY father working with the bad guys? No, it can't be true!" Sam whispered to herself.

"Sam, we better go." Cam said, and so they left.
