"But mom," I protested, "I want to go! What other things am I going to do
this summer?!"
My mom paused to think about this but then said, "Well you have jasmine and
you're other friends to catch up with and you can...." I cut her off there.
"Jasmine? JASMINE? Are we talking about the same Jasmine? The one I'm
thinking of is manipulative, stupid, girly-girly, and just plain wrong!" I
half shouted, "Do I sound like any of those? I want to go with my REAL
friends to the beach. I want to actually have a good time spent with my
friends. I want..." I stopped at the look at my moms face. She was frowning
with wrinkles crossing her brow.
Somewhere behind me crookshanks hissed, and I spun around. In the corner of my eye I saw a dark shape move. Then I heard a muffled gasp. I looked back at my mom and she was smiling as if everything was perfectly normal. Crookshanks sat at my feet sniffing. The lighting in my house flickered and my mother said "of course you can go to the beach with your friends tomorrow. In fact, I think you need time with your friends."
She smiled and I saw a strange flicker go in her eye. She stood up and walked briskly up the stairs.
Unable to comprehend what had just happened, I ran outside. I have absolutely no idea how long I sat on the steps thinking, but then a large CRACK, brought me back to reality.
Standing in front of me was Tonks and Professor Lupin. I stood up and brought a hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Neither was smiling, and both walked straight into my house and I was left standing there confused.
