It's been nine days, eight hours, forty minutes, seven seconds, since you called
I've been so crazy I'm just about taking our picture off the wall.
It's been three months, over a hundred days since you held my hand,
And I miss you in a thousand ways will I ever see you again.
---Everything, M2M
What do I wish for? I don't really know. Still. Mum wants me to be a doctor and Dad wants me to become a lawyer or something. As muggles I guess magic is no concern for them. They expect me to finish at Hogwarts, get this whole 'magic spree' out of my system and then return to the 'real world.'
But this is the real world. This is MY real world! I just want to be able to stay a witch- I know I'll always be one but I don't want them to pressure me to stamp it all out. I love magic. I love Quidditch. Great Wizards, what will I do when I have to go back to the muggle world? Life without Quidditch is a Life Unlived. Poetic.
I just decided what I wish for. It's taken the whole week to think about and it just popped into my head then when I least expected it to.
I wish that my parents would stop hassling me about my future. I am a good girl. I get good marks and school and I'm fit with Quidditch and all. So why do they insist on me leading a muggle life? I DON'T WANT to sit at a desk all day as an accountant or file papers as a secretary. I want a life that I make the decisions in.
I think being a pro Quidditch player would be so cool too. Or a singer like the Weird Sisters or maybe even doing something at the Ministry. That'd be cool too. Anything to do with magic. I was given these powers and talents so why can't I use them?
