Time to be Me
Chapter 2
New Discoveries
"Why do I have to go to London???" I asked my aunt. "I like Hawaii!"
"Well, dear, you'll be going to a prep school. A very respectable school, however, you won't be learning much about math, and science, and normal stuff."
"What the hell does that mean?" I asked.
"Well, honey, you're. Ha, you're going to laugh."
"I won't laugh, I promise." I lied. I never kept promises and she knew it.
"Well, Diamond, you're a witch. And before you say anything, it came from your fathers' side. Your mother was a muggle, nonmagic. so ya."
I busted out laughing. "Whatever, like I could believe that joke. Too bad its not April, that would be some joke to pull on someone."
"I'm not laughing. If you don't believe me, then where did your father go to school?" Aunt Victoria asked.
"Well, I don't' know, and I don't care. I'm fifteen, and I don't believe in magic. sorry."
Suddenly someone instantly appeared in the room. He was an ugly looking man with black greasy hair. He was wearing a very long black coat.
"Thank goodness you're here Severus. She won't believe me. She keeps laughing at me."
"It appears so."
"Who are you?" I asked rudely.
"Wow, you act just like me. And look like me too."
"So, why do I care?"
"Too bad I didn't get to see you grow up, I would have taught you some curtsey. "
"Aunt Victoria! What is he talking about? It doesn't matter if we both have black hair. And we both have dimples, though, you don't smile." I added rudely.
"Diamond, this is your father."
"You told me my father left me and my mother when I was born, and then he died in a plane crash! I don't have a father! I'll never have a father!"
"I know your mad, dear, but I'm your birth father. And your mother left me, because I was a wizard. I don't even know what a plane is, yet alone have I been on one."
"I don't care what you say, I'm not going to London!"
"The only way you'll be safe is if you go to London. Do you hear me? You're going to London, even if I have to drag you there. Now go get your bags ready!" he yelled at her.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ *_*_*_*_*_
A half an hour later she came down from her room with many bags in her arms.
"How long will I be there?" she asked.
"You'll be going to Hogwarts all year. You'll stay at the dorms, during the holidays you'll go to my house with me. You want to take everything dear to you because you'll not be coming back here." Severus told her.
"Why do you have to do this to me? I'm in a band, I have a boyfriend, I have friends!"
"It's for your protection, I'll tell you more when you're ready."
"Can I bring my guitar? My CD player, my TV?"
"You can't bring anything that needs power or batteries, because it won't work at this school. Only magic is used."
"Fine, then I'm bringing my guitar, and my stuffed animals, and everything else. But, I need more bags."
"Okay, just give me these and I'll take them really quickly." I gave him the bags and backed away. In a second he was gone. Two minutes later he was back, but I wasn't down stairs to greet him.
This is stupid. I thought. I don't want to leave. I have to leave everything I know and love. I have to tell my friends that I'm going.. No, they know that I'm going to prep school, they would think that I'm crazy if I told them I was a witch.
"Diamond, are you ready?!" Severus yelled from down stairs. "I'm coming up with more bags."
When I went into the room I saw my daughter packing her books, jewelry, clothes, shoes, and stuffed animals. I couldn't believe all that I had missed. She started taking pictures off the walls and putting them into a box.
"Do cameras work at this school?" She asked me.
"Yes, they do."
"Good, because none of my friends would believe me without proof-"
"You can't tell anyone anything!" I said suddenly.
"Why not? What would happen to them?" she asked sarcastically.
"They wouldn't believe you and you can't show them because no one will know what happened to you. At this new school you will keep your mothers last name, since you never use mine anyway. And you will only talk to me as a teacher. If I need to talk to you, I will keep you behind after class, or Professor Dumbledore will have you meet me in his office. Professor Dumbledore is the Headmaster, or principle as you could call it."
"So basically I don't know you right?" She asked.
Wow, she really does hate me. I thought. What has her mother said to her. Must have been a bunch of rubbish.
"Right," he said. "
Does he really hate me that much that he would want no one to know that I'm his own flesh and blood? Well fine, I'll just ignore him too. He'll regret the day that he was born.
"Diamond, what happened to your mother?" He asked me.
"No one told you?" He shook his head. "It must have been five years ago. She went surfing with some friends. The waves were awesome, I was there. Mom got up for one of the waves, it was a perfect set, or so we thought. She didn't get out in time. The wave took her down. Anyway, she hit the reef real hard, and it broke her neck. I. I just sat there while the ambulance came, and everyone went around her. I was numb, I couldn't move. Finally, a police officer came over to me and asked me if I was Diamond Nelson. I told them yes and they brought me to my aunt's house. The funeral was three days later."
"I'm sorry. I loved your mother very much, but she, well, she couldn't stand the fact that I was a wizard. I just hope that you won't hate me for protecting you. Well, from things."
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Well, honey, I was-working, with some very mean people. They did terrible things to muggle born people and so forth. I would have came for you, but well, I didn't want them to harm you. And I still don't, that's why I don't want you to tell anyone that your related to me."
"So you were in like the Mafia."
"Sort of like that."
"Okay, your secret is my secret." I told him. "I promise, dad."
A/N: what do you think? Well, I'm kinda rusty at this but I'm getting there. I just write what pops up in my head. Please R&R.
Love Always
