Before I knew it September was gone and October arrived with a blast of
cold air. The past month went by in a blur, it seemed that one-minute it
was September 1st the next it was October 18th, and my birthday. It was a
Saturday so no classes, plus there was also a Hogsmeade visit later this
afternoon. I got dressed and went down to breakfast. I thought about
Hogsmeade, last year Harry and Rachael got to go. Minerva had stayed to do
homework but ended up telling me about the village of Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade
was the only non-muggle settlement, and I really wanted to go there and
today was my first visit.
"Hi guys." I said when I got down to the great hall.
Hi, Myrtle, Happy Birthday." Rachael said
"Thank you." I said.
I sat down next to Harry and ate breakfast.
"So, what are we doing today?" Hagrid asked.
"We're going to Hogsmeade." I said.
"Mail's here." Harry said
I looked up, and saw my parents Tawny Owl flying through the other massive cloud of owls. She dropped a package in front of me, Almost upsetting a pile of toast. The package was wrapped in a very sensible but nice wrapping paper.
"Who's it from?" asked Hagrid.
"My Mum and Dad, Well my adopted parent's anyway."
"You were adopted?" Harry asked.
I nodded.
"My real parent's died. I was adopted by a wizard couple that had a daughter." I said. "My real mum was my adoptive mum's friend before my adoptive mum went to Hogwarts. My real parents made my adoptive parents my godparents when I was born" My voice trailed off slightly as I said "A month before they died."
I turned my attention to the package. It was from my parents and Arabella. I opened and discovered a Nancy Drew book and some fudge. I smiled. Harry looked at his watch.
"We have a hour before going to Hogsmeade." He said.
I decided to go upstairs and put my new book in my room to read tonight. I went outside to the grounds next; by the time I got outside into the crisp October air it was time to go.
"I'm going to Zonko's first." Rachael said. "Maybe we can find some kind of prank to pull on Olive." She whispered, so her sister wouldn't hear.
I laughed. We walked along the ground until we came to Hogsmeade.
I looked around the town. Harry pointed out which buildings were which.
"Come on." Rachael said pulling my arm toward Zonko's.
"Ok, we'll meet at the Three Broomsticks in 1 hour."
We all nodded, and I followed Rachael along a dirt path and through a door that said "Zonko's Joke shop" "Hey, We can put Dung Bombs in her book bag!" Rachael said pointing to a box. She laughed.
"What are those?" I asked pointing.
Rachael laughed again.
"Hiccup Sweets. We could give one to Olive," Rachael whispered picking up one "She'll be hiccupping for hours!" Rachael then laughed.
Rachael eventually bought some Hiccup Sweets and we left the store and walked around for a while until it was time to meet our friends.
"Hey guys." I said as I sat down next to Harry.
"Happy Birthday." Minerva said pulling me into a sisterly hug then handed me a box with small holes in it.
I smiled weakly.
"Thank you." I said.
"It's from all of us." Hagrid said beaming.
I opened the package and out sprung a small ginger colored kitten, which started licking my face.
I laughed and looked at the group.
"Thank you guys so much." I would have hugged them but I was holding the kitten.
"What are you going to name him?" asked Rachael.
I shrugged and thought about it "Ginger" I suggested.
"I like that name." Said Minerva.
Harry looked at his watch as the kitten curled up in my lap.
"Well, I guess we should head back." Harry said.
Before we got back to the school Harry asked a housemate of ours if he could use his camera to take our picture. Then we all walked back and Professor Dumbledore was waiting at the entrance.
"All students are to report to there dormitories immediately." He announced to the gathering students.
We walked to Gryffindor tower and gave the password to the fat lady.
"Who's missing?" Minerva said loudly to the gathering Gryffindors."
"Naomi Williams." Lizzie answered.
I looked around at the group and found out Lizzie was right.
"Rachael, Where's Naomi?" I asked. She shrugged.
Dumbledore came in.
"There has been an attack." He told us.
"Who was attacked?" Harry asked.
"Naomi Williams. But I assure you all Naomi will be fine." He said. He answered a few more questions then left.
I was scared. What was happening, did Naomi's attack have something to do with the strange dreams I'd been having? Harry looked at me.
"I'm sure she'll be ok." He said.
I nodded and left for my room.
