Sitting in a dark room, looking outside and watching the rain pour, a tall
skinny boy, age 15,with jet-black hair, pale skin and dark eyes, hears the
shouting of his mum and dad. Ignoring it as if it is background music at a
restaurant, He walks over to his bookshelf. He glides his finger slowly
across the spins of all the books; his finger stops on a book called
Unforgivable curses are only unforgivable, if you get caught. He takes the
book over to his bed; he turns on the light and sits down. He opens the
book to page 139 and starts to read.
His ears prick up as he hears a soft knocking sound on his door. He glides over to find a small girl with jet-black pigtails and the same dark brown eyes filled with tears standing out side his door. He hurries her inside his room.
"What are you doing Abigail. You know dad will hit you if he finds you wandering the corridors"
Between sobs the little girl says" I can't sleep. Mum and dad have been fighting over Benjamin for three hours. Can I sleep with you?"
The boy picks up the little girl and carries her over to his bed. He gently lays her on his bed and tucks her in.
"Will you tell me a story?" asked the little girl
"Just a quick one" replies the boy "Once upon a time there lived the four greatest sorcerers of all time."
When the boy was sure the little girl was asleep her walked over to his door. He put his ear up to it. Once he was positive his parents were still quarreling, he crept over to his sister's room. He fashioned the pillows in her bed to resemble a small child sleeping soundly in the bed. He left a quick note under the pillow, and returned to his room. He crept quietly back into his room. He turned off all the lights in his room, and laid down next to his sister and fell asleep.
After another hour the boy's parents had stopped quarreling. His mother went to her little girl's room to make sure her baby was ok. When she sat down on the bed she found the note from her son. She ran to his room and sat down on the bed. She shook her son awake.
"How is you sister is she alright"
"Mum don't worry she is fin, She is just a little shaken up. How about you? Dad didn't hit you did he?"
"No I am fine. He left; he may be gone for a few days. But don't worry"
"His leaving doesn't worry me. Its his coming back that frightens me"
His mother started crying. "I'm so sorry I never dreamt my children would ever grow up in a house like this. But I promise you it will not always be like this"
She got up and quietly left the room.
*@*@*@*@ The next day *@*@*@*@*
The boy woke the next morning to find his sister still asleep. He grabbed a cloak and walked outside. His family had a lake on their property. He walked around the lake to his secret spot; it was where the old willow's branched hung over and created a special getaway. Inside were the boy's favorite books, some cauldrons and his broomstick.
He went inside went through some of his books looking for a special piece of paper, Alas he found it a picture of his mum as a teen sitting on her father's broomstick. How young she looked. Her hair was shinny, her eyes filled with curiosity, with a grin on her face. The boy looked at his grandfather. "How could you have let her marry such an evil man? You ruined her life" he yelled at the picture. He threw the picture down and ran back to his manor.
He walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. A houself came and bought him eggs, potatoes and a biscuit.
"Sobby. Did you forget something" he snapped at the houself "You stupid creaton, you forgot my pumpkin juice"
"Sobby is sorry sir" squeaked the houself
The houself brought the pumpkin juice and started hitting himself over the head with an empty goblet. Just then the boys mother came in
"Good Morning Severus"
