1 Chapter 3- Considering the Circumstances
Sam sat at her desk in her room writing a letter to Teva. It said:
Teva,
I just thought I should write to you. I heard about you going out with Zach! I am so happy for you! Now everyone has a b/f or a g/f! Yay! Anyway, I think I have a serious problem. When we were in Hogsmeade the other day I stumbled upon professor talking to a little group of people. They said…that my father was alive. I don't know what to do! I'm kinda scared. Professor even knew about my father and that scares me. I don't know what to do. I really wish you could come down here. I'm alone and Professor started leaving the house more often and I don't like being alone. I have to go for now. Write back,
Sammy
******Later that night******
Sam's owl, Sierra, came back with a letter from Teva saying:
Dear Sam Beany,
Hey it's great to hear from you!! I'm really glad that you got to go home with Professor Holly over the summer. She's not being trollish is she? Just kidding. My parents are being trolls but hey, what else is new right? Thankies about Zach. He's really sweet and so kind. I really like him a lot. Have you seen Cam lately? I hope so.
Your father is alive? Oh my God, that can't be good can it? I'm scared for you. Don't let Professor Holly out of your sight! Not even for one millisecond! I don't want anything to happen to you! How do you think she knew about your father? He wasn't famous or anything was he? You never mentioned that if he was. You know what, my parents are going to Hawaii for a business trip soon. I was going to stay with my grandparents but if you invite me over, I bet the Trolls would let me come. Send word by owl express if I can come over ok? I'd feel much better if I knew that you were safe. Write back as soon as you know!!
Your Friend,
Teva
After she read the letter she thought what Teva said was a good idea. She could use some company anyway. She got into her pajamas and walked around the house thinking to herself. She started to get a worried felling in her gut and looked around. She thought that someone was in the house even though nobody else was home. Or was there someone else in the house? Her heart started racing inside her chest. She looked around frantically knowing someone else was in the house, and there was. A person was watching her from the dark corner of the house. The figure watched Sam's every move and waited patiently for right time to make a move. Sam looked right into the shadow where the person was hiding. The man walked out of the dark shadow and looked at Sam with his piercing black eyes. She gasped and backed right into a little wooden table in the narrow hallway.
"So, Sam, I get to see you again." The man said with a mischievous smile.
"Who…. who are you?" Sam asked frightened.
The man walked up to Sam until he was nose-to-nose with her and said,
"Don't you recognize your own father?"
Sam didn't know what to say, she just stood there terrified. Her father looked into Sam's light brown eyes and smiled. He kissed her on the cheek then apparated away. Sam stood there frozen to the very spot. Finally when she got over it she looked around and shook the sight out of her mind. She needed to tell someone, but she didn't know if she could trust Dreama anymore. So she didn't tell anyone. She walked back up the abandoned steps and to her room. She flopped onto the bed and ran the night's events through her brain.
"What am I going to do? This is out of control." Sam said to herself while trembling. She decided to go to sleep for the night.

The next morning Sam woke up and walked down to the kitchen and actually saw Dreama reading the newspaper. Maybe it was her anger or maybe how she was scared from the night before but she asked Dreama a question.
"Why aren't you ever home anymore? I don't like being left alone."
"I am a part of the staff at Hogwarts and I have the usual meetings during the summer, so that takes me away from my home a lot more than I would like." Dreama replied feeling sympathetic.
Sam wasn't satisfied. She knew something was up, she just didn't know what it was yet. So she headed outside for some fresh air and sunshine.
Sam sat at her desk in her room writing a letter to Teva. It said:
