book would be out already.
Skylar opened the door to the attic and plopped down in her favorite old armchair. She pulled out the leather pouch from her pocket. The soaking wet pouch contained a necklace with a silver serpent wrapped around a deep green emerald stone. " Wow, its breathtaking." She gasped as she examined it. " Would you like to wear it?" a voice behind her said. " Serene, is that you?" Skylar stammered. " But you are dead, aren't you?" A pale translucent figure leviatated a few feet away from the old armchair. The girl had long blonde hair the swept across the floor. She was wearing an old fashioned silver cloak with a snake on the clasp. " SERENE!" Skylar squealed in delight and ran towards the apparition. Skylar looked into the ghost's eyes. The eyes were hollow and empty yet they were the same color as Skylar's own silver eyes. " Skylar, I can't stay long." The ghost said as she glanced back into Skylar's eyes. Skylar couldn't believe her eyes. She found this pretty necklace, she made Maylynn cry, and Serene came back all in the same day. Serene was Skylar's older sister. She had died two years before in an accident by the lake. Nobody would tell Skylar what Serene had died of. Skylar guessed that they didn't want to scare her but that was silly. Nothing would ever scare Skylar. At least that's what she thought. Serene was seventeen when she died. Skylar's eyes started to well up with tears. Serene was the only one ever paid attention to her. She showed her the secret attic and most of the secret passages in Hogwarts. " So do you want to wear the necklace or not?" Serene asked the tone in her voice rising. " Of course. But isn't this the necklace you were buried with?" Skylar asked curiously. " I made another one. I mean I had planned on giving it to you for your eleventh birthday like when I received mine but I died. I wasn't expecting that." Serene laughed. " Tomorrow's your birthday. October 13th. I would never forget you Skylar. Remember that. I have to go now. Farewell Skylar.'" " No you can't leave me. Not now! Serene!" Skylar cried out into the darkness of the attic.
Serene's image slowly dissolved until it was nothing more. Skylar stared at the necklace Serene had given her. Skylar stared around the attic. She glanced at a large book she often used to find spells to practice with. Skylar got to her feet and walked over to the old leather book. Maybe I can bring Serene back. If I find the right spell, maybe I can bring her back to life. She thought. She grabbed the book and scanned through its old yellowed pages. One of the spells caught her eye. It was a spell for more power. This is the perfect spell. Skylar thought. I can become more powerful avenge Serene's death and maybe even bring her back!
Skylar stood up and grabbed her serpent necklace. She read the encantation aloud.
I call on the power of the serpent, the most powerful of all beasts, I command you to give me the power to achieve my destiny Fill my soul with the energy I need to succeed in my life Thurst all the power in my most important possession Allow me to reign at my full strength! Forever!
The attic filled with a blinding emerald green light. Skylar felt the necklace lift her off her feet and pull her towards the center of the room. The serpent absorbed the green light and energy. Skylar could feel the rush of energy flood through her. She grasped the necklace and lowered herself back to the ground. " I am the powerful and energized Princess of Slytherin, Skylar Slytherin!" She yelled. The attic shook and lighting flashed outside over the mountains. " They will fear me now and forever!"
