The Sanctuary House Hotel, London SW1H 9LA --------------------

Aawista and Uttaraa climbed onto the elevator. Uttaraa pressed one of the buttons and the elevator was off.

The 2 girls stood solemnly in the elevator. No one spoke a word. It was an eerie quiet. A quiet you can usually find in awkward silences. The silences when you're just waiting for someone to just jump out and scream at you.

The door of the elevator dinged open and Aawista gave a small startled yelp. She regained her dignified posture and followed Uttaraa out the elevator.

They turned left and headed down the hallway, Uttaraa leading. They came upon a Door Numbered 406.

Uttaraa stuck her key in the keyhole and turned it.

"Hmm that's strange…its not opening…", said Uttaraa

She pushed the key harder into the lock. After a few minutes of wrestling with it the lock clicked open.

Uttaraa pushed open the door and pointed for Aawista to go in first.

Once inside Uttaraa closed the door behind her.

"HEY PEOPLE I'm HOME!" Uttaraa yelled out loudly.

She walked over to a counter and pointed, absent-mindedly, at Aawista to take a seat.

Uttaraa looked down at the counter and picked up a piece of napkin. It was a note from her parents.

Uttsy we've gone out sight seeing, we'll be back soon. Jon is in his room sleeping. There is a post owl for you in your bedroom! It's from Horizon's; it's thicker than usual… They've probably made your the principal or the headmistress! I'm soo proud of you! Take care.

Love Mum

"Disgusting" said Uttaraa "they can not be serious!"

"What?", Aawista questioned.

"OH! Umm... nothing… Just a post owl from Horizon's and my brother's asleep, You have any idea how much I hate him? That git-face! He's got a high MQ and everyone thinks he's god!"

"MQ?" said Awistaa

"MQ. Magical quotient…it's like IQ…except it measures the amount of magic you have coursing thru your veins…I hear Harry Potter has the highest MQ…Next to Albus Dumbledore of course…ah…"Uttaraa sighed, "They have this whole study going on in the English Ministry of Magic…It's really cool"

"Ok buddy, you live in your world I'll stick to mine…"

There was an awkward silence.

"Oh shoot!" remarked Uttaraa suddenly, "where are my manners? Would you like something to drink Awiz?"

"No… I'm not thirsty. We were trying to figure out if I'm dreaming or not…remember?

"Oh yeah that… let me just go grab that owl from my room k?

Without further hesitance Uttaraa left the room. She could not stand being in a one-on-one conversation for so long. It made her queasy. She walked into the room she was using for their stay here in London. She picked up a brown barn owl off her pillow, taking off the parchment tied to its feet.

She walked back into the sitting room.

"So right…you were saying something about...dreaming?" Uttaraa questioned.

Aawista began once again on her quest to straighten things out.

But Uttaraa wasn't listening. She was busy reading her letter.

After only a few moments Uttaraa Gave a small yelp and threw the letter out of her hands as if it was poisonous ill-intention.

"OH my GAWD! We've got to do something!" Uttaraa screamed.

"What? About what? HEY!" Aawista screamed at the top of her Lungs, as Uttaraa had begun babbling to her self.

"The letter! Look at the letter!" screamed Uttaraa

"Your ultra freaky you know that?", Aawista grabbed the letter off the floor to have a look at it.

EMERGENCY!

Miss Uttaraa Diwan please return to Horizon's At once! The school has been destroyed. All of the students on Holiday must report back immediately. I am waiting to confer with you! Hurry please! Before other destruction occurs! Your Families are in danger

Signed,

Ayla Armstrong

Principal

"Oh my god! It wasn't a dream! The school HAS been destroyed! … What does she mean…your families are in danger?

"MY BROTHER!" it wasn't Uttaraa who said this but more her instinct which spoke.

Uttaraa and Aawista fled to the last room in the narrow corridor.

Dreading the sight that would reveal itself when they entered the room.

Uttaraa stopped in front of the door and turned around to face Aawista

"You go in first…I cant bear to look"

Aawista looked awestruck at Uttaraa "What are you crazy? He's OK! Sheesh! For all you know it's a prank letter!"

"But it's signed!"

"Yah! So I can forge a signature too! Phh…!" Aawista blew a raspberry "Honestly! Your whack! You receive some stupid letter and now all of a sudden your screaming and hoping like a mad-woman!" She then began to do an impersonation of an unnaturally obese lady jumping up and down in horror "Just have a look in there and you'll see" Aawista put on a mock sarcastic voice and said, "The brother you absolutely love with all your heart and you always complain about how marvelous he is with is abnormally high MQ, is sleeping soundly dreaming of a world where you are not melodramatic!"

Uttaraa gathered up her dignity and said, "Yeah well you'll be sorry! I know he is dead! I can tell!"

"Oh brother! (Pardon the pun), but why don't you just stick your head in there and see? I bet you he is sound asleep!"

They both stuck their head into the room, at the same time, abyssal hope present on there faces.

The sight that greeted them was…still… peace and quite.

There lay Uttaraa's brother on the bed.

A look of surprise was present on his face. His eyes were staring blankly at infinite space. There was no raising and lowering of the chest. There was no heartbeat.

He was dead.

"AAHHHHH!" Uttaraa screamed insanely. She recognized the symptoms of the death curse. "My brother!" she ran to his bedside and lifted his head, running her hands through his oily black hair. She began a loving sister's silent weep.

Aawista examined his body, "he didn't suffer, and who ever did this used the Aveda Kedevra curse.", she said silently

Uttaraa spun around with a putrid look on her face. "Didn't Suffer? Didn't Suffer? How dare you?" her small already lonely heart moaned for revenge, "Didn't Suffer? How about I kill you? Didn't Suffer? Why I should just…"

I've got to do something, Thought Aawista, Prof. Armstrong said to come immediately…. then that's what we'll do. We're just going back to Horizon's. Prof. Armstrong can deal with her.

Aawista pulled out a portkey from her school uniform pocket. (Many magical accessories were a requirement for their uniforms, a portkey back to Specialty's being one)

Aawista grabbed the raving Uttaraa and took out her own wand. She tapped the portkey three times with her wand. Before she realized that she was taking herself to the inside of a destructed school, they were both off.
