Chapter 2

Kevins8: yup, I finally updated. I was going to post it yesterday but I was stuck in traffic and the car moved at what seemed like less then 1km per hour. Brrrr... never drive during a blizzard. Anyway, read this and enjoy p.s. (for some reason, fanfic put spaces after my quotations so please ignore that)

Yesterday?

"My lord, it seems as if the boy has escaped" muttered a squeaky voice from somewhere in the shadows.

"So the death eaters failed. No surprise there, I didn't expect them to triumph. Their still to weak to face the ministry yet but they still have to be punished" The voice was came from a black figure located in the center of the room. The figure was as odd as the room itself whose walls were decorated with what seemed like medieval torture devises along with some artifacts, maps, and scrolls. The figure itself was stranger yet. Shrouded in a black robe, there was a menacing sense around him. The only thing visible was his eyes, both glaring a deep red.

"That will be dealt with immediately. My lord, if I may inquire, why go all this length to get the boy? Even though his extraordinary resemblance to Harry Potter, what could he possibly do to interfere with your plans?"

"Wormtail, you're ignorance is pathetic. Very well, since there is still nothing that can be done at this time now the grewks are out chasing the boy, I'll explain. There are out right?"

"Yes my lord. I set them off personally as soon as the deatheaters failed."

"Good. First thing you did right. Now let me tell you of the boy. He is the twin of Harry Potter, though how, I still do not know, The boy is a Lan and that's all that matters."

"A Lan! Why that means that he's..."

"BEEP! BEEP!"

I woke up and smashed the alarm clock. Silence. It was 6:00 a.m. in the morning. When I got up and washed myself by the sink, I couldn't help feeling as if I forgot something. There was this terrible empty feeling in me, but it was no use. The further I tried to remember, the farther it seemed to be. At last, I gave up and tried desperately to whip up some pancakes for breakfast. My babysitter was away on a business trip so I had the whole house to my self. At first, it seemed like a blessing but that quickly changed as I grew hungry. See here's one thing you need to know about me. I can't cook. I remember the last time I tried. It was my parent's anniversary and I tried cooking omelets. I still remember my poor dad and how his face turned a shade of green on the first bite. Turns out that sugar and omelets don't mix. Need I add, the pancakes didn't turn out right. Nevertheless, I was hungry so gulped it all down. After breakfast, I set back to the normal routine and headed to school. On my way, Jack caught up with me. Jack was a good friend of mine that lived two blocks away. He was jaunty, good natured and just hyperactive most of the time. He stood 5 feet tall with baby blue eyes, a kinda squashed nose, and blonde hair. Today, he was wearing elegant looking clothing and jelled his hair. I was just going to ask why when he spoke.

"Hey Shean. Where've you been yesterday?"

I was just going to reply when I froze. What have I been yesterday? It's like someone wiped my memory clean. I remembered everything before yesterday and now but yesterday remained a mystery. Jack keeps on teasing how I'll forgot my one name if no one keeps on calling me but a whole day is a lot to just forgot. The more I tried to remember, the more panicked I got. Jack must have noticed because he started yelling in my ear.

"HELLO! EARTH TO SHEAN! ANYONE IN THERE?!"

" Oh sorry about that. I guess I was daydreaming." I didn't know what else to say and couldn't really tell him the truth lest he think I'm losing it. Frankly, I don't know myself.

"Oh good. You weren't replying to anything I said. I thought you were sick for half a second there. Anyway, you haven't answered my question. You were gone yesterday and no one could find you. The principle almost notified the police."

"Oh… I was away with my uncle who came for a surprise visit and took me on a fishing trip by the mountains" The story seemed lame, even as I told it but luckily, Jack didn't catch on. For some reason, I didn't think telling him the truth would make things any better. Since this was a small community, everyone looked out for each other and could immediately tell if someone was missing. I guess my "disappearance yesterday caused quite a shock. Yesterday. The more I thought about it, the more my head ached. No matter how hard I tried, I always hit a blank. My line of thought was disturbed as Jack spoke again.

"So, are you ready for the dance?"

"Oh my god, I totally forgot!" It was true. For some reason it slipped my mind. I blame the pancakes. So that's why Jack was all dressed up. Its all anyone at school could talk for weeks. Jack had a hopeless crush with a tenth grader named Jessy. It took me three full weeks before I convinced him to finally ask her.

Jack kept on muttering about the dance and asking me if he looked all right. After assuring him countless times that he looked fine, we finally reached school. Middleson high. Sure it didn't compare much to the high schools in the city but it was the joy and pride of our little community. It was big enough for all the students to fit into classrooms and small enough so you won't get lost. The outside lawn was available to all. Since the school was located on a hill, the lawn was a perfect place for picnics, dates, etc. You could get a great view of the lake from here and its absolutely gorgeous during sunset. Most community events are held on the school grounds and it just had a cozy attitude to it. School was routine as usual. All my teachers asked where I've been yesterday so I replied with the same answer I gave to Jack. After three tedious classes of geography and theoretical mathematics, I was bored stiff and could barely keep awake. Despite the boredom of classes, one question still knacked at my mind. What happened yesterday? As I walked into the caf, my lost memory soon became the least of my problems. The grewks have arrived.

Kevins8: so what do you think? I was in a rush making this so please ignore any grammar mistakes if there are any. Anyway, plz review
