Another year, another worry, another death. That's what I was thinking on
the train to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. There I was sitting
thinking about my past, a 15 year old girl with short brown hair and blond
streaks, blue eyes and an athlete too. I was thin and beautiful many wanted
me but I refused them, I was waiting for Victor Krum, my best friend to
come back alive. Victor was the only one who understood me, he knew why
I didn't talk and how I was slowly silently dying inside no one knew and
they never would. I was attending Durmstrang when my father died, I was
only twelve. Victor and I were the best of friends I guess you could've called
him my brother, we were that close. So when my father died he was the first
to know, and he held me at night when I cried he was there for me and he
said he always would be that is until he died. My mother Celica Mercury,
had attended Beauxbatons, and it was her dream for her only daughter Nica
Mercury to attend Beauxbatons and complete her dreams since she wasn't
able to complete them herself, she was expelled from school. My mother
being my last relative I transferred in third year, that's when my mother
joined Vol … he- who- must – not – be – named, and went into battle
against my best friend Victor Krum. I was there when she had killed him,
she didn't want to but she had to it was either him or me. Victor's father had
gotten on he- who- must – not – be – name's nerve so he killed both him
and his son. We went home and that night she killed herself. That's when I
realized I was an orphan. I had walked out of my bedroom and seen blood I
walked into the kitchen where I seen her limp body hanging in the air by a
binding spell. I cried harder than I'd ever cried before I took her down, and a
note started talking "I'm sorry Nica it was the only way, the only way to
save you. He was going to take me, and I refused to go so he said he would
kill you that's why I switched you school's, I love you my darling and that's
why I'm gone (blurry because of my now falling tears). I realize that you
think you are know alone ,but your not when ever you need us, me and dad,
we will be their you just have to say what you really want out loud three
times. We left you some estates and money, and more in vault 369, 769, 869,
and 900. We must tell you something before this note disintegrates, do not
be afraid to trust the misty gray, but do not be to willing to give in, give it
time or you will get hurt. Know run Nica run, go through the closet and you
will enter diagon alley buy all your school supplies and go to Hogwarts. We
will be waiting for you in heaven. Your father and I love you ,goodbye my
sweetheart and live like everyday is you last". I sat there and hugged my
knees as I watch the note burn, "do not be afraid to trust the misty gray, but
do not be to willing to give in, give it time or you will get hurt." What was
that supposed to mean. I hadn't talked since then not one word I was afraid
to speak, what would I say, and would I cry? No one again would see me cry
not even myself. That's what I thought just as I arrived at the school, great I
thought more people to face.
