Chapter 5: I may be a squib!
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep
Someone ran into the room and tried to turn the alarm off. "How do you turn the stupid thing off?"
The voice shouted at me. A voice out side shouted "turn it off at the plug!"
There was a noise and then someone was shaking me. "Wake up Eleanor, Wake up, you have to go to school today, for gods sake wake up."
"What?"
"Good, change, your uniform is on the chair, get ready for school, and come down stairs and have breakfast, hurry we're leaving in 45 minutes."
I looked at the clock it said 7.30. I got out of bed and walked out of the room. "The bathrooms free." Some one yelled pushing me in. I walked in, picked up a toothbrush, what was I doing in the muggle world, was it some kind of test, because if it is I'm failing.
I walked down the stairs and found what could only be the kitchen. I sat down on a chair. "What are you doing? You have 35 minutes left and you need to have breakfast, and make your packed lunch, no wait it's half day today."
I looked at her confused. She put a plate of burnt toast on the table. "Here's the butter, sorry about the toast. 2Oh and when you've finished that go pack your bag and get into the car." Once I'd finished I walked up the stairs and into the room I woke up in. I found a desk with a note pad and a box full of things, which I later found out, were called pens. I looked at the box. It had the Hogwarts crest in the centre and then each of the housed crests around it. I took the pens out and found a picture of a boy on a broomstick with his hands going around the snitch. He had messy black hair, a red lightening bots scar and green eyes. Next to the picture was 'Harry Potter' written in lightening bolts. I put then pens in the pencil case and then put them in a bag. I ran down the stairs and was about to go out the door when the mum pulled me down and started brushing my hair hard. I walked up to the car and got in.

"Here we are, at school, pick you up at 12pm. I've got a patient in 10 minutes, Bye Eleanor." She drove off. I looked at my watch it said 8.30.
"Eve!"
I turned around to see who was being shouted at and found myself in a bone-crushing hug.
"You're strangling me!" I chocked.
Someone walked up to the girl.
"Kimmy has done that to every single one of us this morning."
"Yep Granny, but you hug as well."
"But I don't kill them!"
"You both do." Said a new voice. "Hi Eve, haven't see you for ages, what was it last week."
"Yeah, ages." I muttered.
"Move outta the way Maryann!" I looked at them. They both had chestnut hair, and one had blue eyes while the other had green- hazel eyes. They were clearly sisters, though not twins.
"Look there's Luc Lou!" Kimmy shouted and ran up to a girl with shoulder black hair. Lucy mouthed 'help me' to us. "Hello Granny, Chele, Maryann, Kimmy and Eve. Where's every one else? And stop calling me Lucy Lou, My name is Lucy Lewis, a great play on words, who made that up anyways."
"I did!" shouted granny. "We all have our nick names though. Yours is Lucy Lou, Kimika's is Kimmy, Mine is Granny or Francesca as the teachers call me, Eleanor's is Eve, Mo when she gets here is Moby, Mi's is Mia, Sarah's is Sa, Emma's is Em, Michelle's is Shell, Rachel's is Rach and Colette's is lettuce and Maryann's is, well, she doesn't have a nick name for some reason."
"I do. But no one calls me by it. My nick name is Annabelle for some peculiar reason of which I'm trying to work out."
Sarah and Emma! And Sarah's sister." Kimmy ran up to them and tried to hug all three of them at the same time. "But, they choose theirs I got stuck with mine." Lucy was complaining.
Once every one was here. (Michelle, Maryann, Lucy, Francesca, Kimika, Mi, Mo, Sarah, Emma, Colette and Rachel)
"Ok we better go to class now." Said Colette.
"I'm off!" Declared Michelle. "Joanna, Rosanna, Gabrielle and Kate wait up."
"Hello Michelle." They chorused
"Where is she going?" I asked Maryann
"To her assembly."
"Shouldn't we be there?"
"I thought you were the brains. She's in year 10 we're in year 9. She went to the assembly hall we have to go to Armadale."
I looked at her confused, but carried on walking. We went up a few flights of stairs and into a small hall with seats surrounding the walls.
"Get into your class lines in alphabetical order."
"Eleanor come on!" said Francesca while walking into the line. I stood next to her. "Go to your place in line I'm Andrews your Evans go!"
I started to walk up the line. "There you are" said a relieved voice while yanking me into the line. I stood there trying to work out why I was in a muggle school.
***
"My name is Miss DeDomenici. I'm the new English teacher. Now I'm going to sit you in alphabetical order." As she said this the class groaned. "But first the register. Angela, Francesca, Laura, Alex, Sinead, Latoyah, Sophie, Hollie, Carla, Eleanor…"
When she finished she put the register away and started a speech. "Gerard, You are the top class in year nine. I've heard great things about you from you last form tutor and I expect you to keep up those standards."
At this someone shouted, "we're all good apples Miss." At this the whole class burst out laughing while the teacher and myself looked on confused. "Now I'm going to write the time table on the board copy it into the journal I'm about to give you."
She handed out some green books they read 'St Ursula's Convent School Greenwich.' I stared at it; I was going to a convent to become a nun! (Eleanor was not coming to this school to become a nun. The school was once run entirely by nuns and then gradually normal teachers came in as the nuns died out. The convent is in fact at the bottom part of the school where 6 nuns live.)

"So are you coming to burger king with us or going straight home?"
"Umm…"
"Eleanor. Come on. I have fifteen minutes to get you home and then get back to surgery. Get in."
I climbed in the car and was speed home. I got out of the car and closed the door. I walked up to the front door and opened it with a key I found in my pocket. "Hello Ellie."
"Oh… Er hi… dad."
The man smiled at me his green eyes reminding me of some ones.
"The computer's free. Feel free to microwave your brain cells!"
"Whatever."
"Why do you spend so much time on that thing any way? I know you do a lot. The Karate, the violin and the gymnastics, but you gave that up last year and you used to be on the swim team. I just don't see why you don't read a classic like Pride and Prejudice or Oliver twist and all the other books on that bookshelf. I swear buying you those four books… From what max has told me if I ask you a question you'll know the answer. He's read the books and he's perfectly fine. Like lets see…" said the father picking up a book. "What is the name of the potions teacher?"
I looked at him and answered "Pr… Professor Snape."
"That was an easy one, lets see… how many floors does Hogwarts have?"
"142, but that's standard knowledge."
"If I asked you what you get when you mix Copper with Hydrochloric acid you wouldn't know would you?"
I looked at him blankly. "See, you get Copper Chloride."
I looked at him and muttered. "Stupid Muggle."
"There you go again, you keep on calling us muggles. I know we're not witches or wizards for the simple fact that they don't exist. You are a… muggle do you should get used to it." Little did he know about the magical world. I looked at him fear in my eyes. I was stuck in the muggle world forever.
"I'm not a muggle! There is such thing as magic. Like what do you get when you mix asphodel and wormwood? It makes a sleeping potion so power full it's known as the draught of the living death. I don't car what you say I'm not a muggle. I may be part squib but there's no need to rub it in. It's not my fault that my parents are at ST Mungo's. No one understands me the only person who did was Professor Moody and he was the death eater who put the imperious curse on my parents."
I looked at the father adrenaline pumping around my body; fear in my eyes a tear falling down my cheek. The man looked at e surprised. He picked up the phone and dialled a number. "Hello May I think those stories are getting to her head, she's crying because I told her she was a muggle. She's literally crying because of some place called St Mungo's or something like that and what are death eaters those books are unhealthy. Have you in all your years at medical school come across this?"
