CPOV

The Next morning I woke up early just lying in bed for a while. Today I was 17. An adult in the wizarding world but I didn't feel any different, just felt like the same old boring me. The only thing that excited me a little was the fact I could now do magic outside school.

Every birthday my dad would always wake me up with breakfast in bed, pancakes and orange juice because they were my favourite. We would always go out for the day, Always somewhere different. We would usually end up getting lost, but that was the best part. It made it an adventure especially when I was little. When I was older it just made it funny. I missed that.

I looked round the spare bedroom and i felt a pang in my stomach. I realised how much I actually missed my house, It had been over a year since I had been home. I just wanted to see it, it was my house. It belonged to me now. That meant I could visit it.

I jumped out of bed and dressed in shorts and a t-shirt grabbing my wand off my night stand and shoving it in the side of my boot. I quickly brushed my teeth before making my way downstairs and entering the kitchen seeing Neville's grandmother placing items into a bag.

"Happy birthday Catherine."

"Thanks Mrs. Longbottom."

"I'm going out for a bit. Is Neville still asleep?"

"I think so."

She grabbed her bag off the table and walked over to the fire place.

"Perhaps...you could talk to him?"

She gave me a final glance before disappearing out of the room leaving me alone.

After she left I stood there facing the fire place. I would only be 10 minutes and Neville was fast asleep. He wouldn't even know I was gone.

I grabbed some floo powder and stepped into the fire place shouting my address. When I arrived at the other side it took me a few moments to take in my surroundings. I then realised I was standing on the spot I found my dad.

I quickly leapt away from it as if I had just stepped on hot coals and I looked around the room. Nothing had changed. There were a few spiders and everything was now exceedingly dusty but apart from that. It was still the same.

I wandered about looking at different things just taking everything in. Eventually I made my way upstairs to my room as soon an I enterd I felt safe again. Then I saw My bed, I jumped onto it lying on my stomach and shut me eyes. I had missed my house so much.

Suddenly a loud bang came from downstairs and I shot up petrified. My heart was beating in my throat stopping me from being able to breathe properly.

"SHE'S NOT HERE!"

I crawled from my bed onto the landing keeping as low and quite as possible.

"Will you shut up Bellatrix?"

I scooted back covering my hand over my mouth. I didn't even want to breathe for fear it would make the slightest noise.

"A year! A Whole I've been looking. And I can't find her!"

"She's just a girl. It can't be that hard."

I heard a smash and I nearly screamed. .

"Why would she even be here Bellatrix? This house is abandoned look at it."

Another smash.

"Fine!

I heard more shuffling, slamming, and then silence.

I sat there too terrified to move but my breathing quickened and tears started to pour from my eyes. She had been in my house, she had almost found me. I needed to get out of here.

I forced myself to push myself from the wall and almost crawled towards the edge of the staircase.

I pulled my wand out of my boot and started to make my slow descent down the stairs. I had to get out of here as quickly as possible.

When I reached the bottom I stepped over the fragments of glass trying to avoid making any noise. My head shot up shot up as I heard movement come from the kitchen freezing me in my tracks.

I made my way to the door under the stairs shutting it as quietly as possible.
I thought about locking the door but I knew it was pointless. Whoever was out there could have opened it just as easily. I heard footsteps walk past the door as I stood there trying not to make a sound. Why didn't I take apparition lessons? Stupid.

They walked past again suddenly stopping outside the door. I held my wand at the ready although I had no idea what I was going to do. The floor boards creaked and I saw the door handle shake slightly causing me to snap my eyes shut. Whatever it was I didn't want to see, I just wanted to wake up from this.

I felt a whoosh of air as the door flung open but I kept my eyes tightly shut. A rough hand went round my throat and pulled me out of the cupboard slamming me against the wall next to it. I heard heavy breathing and felt his breath on my face.

"Well…what do we have here?"

I opened my eyes to see Fenrir Greyback Starring back at me, evil grin spread across his face. I had only seen this guy in the newspapers. Up close and personal I had never been so terrified.

His grip tightened on my throat almost cutting off my air supply and I started to struggle to breathe.

"So you're the little witch Bellatrix has been looking for.

He brought his other hand up to the side of my face tracing the outline of my jaw.

"So pretty…and young. I wonder how you taste."

He threw me to the ground causing me to hit my face and drop my wan in the process. As I struggled to grab my wand I cut my hands on the bits of glass. I could taste blood pouring into my mouth. He picked me up by the scruff of my neck and slammed me against the wall causing a pain to shoot through my spine, his eyes focused on my bleeding lip. He brought his face down and licking the blood that had started to pour down my chin and covered my most of my bottom lip. I tried not to react but I could feel the bile rising in my stomach.

One of his hands reached down hovering above the edge of shorts.

"Your blood tastes...absolutely amazing. And you know, I am a little peckish."

I brought my wand up shaking and he started to chuckle. "Now what are you going to do with that?"

"ACCIO MIRROR!"

The large mirror flew off the wall towards us and as Greyback turned smashed him in the face causing him to stumble and release his grip on me. I knew that wouldn't hold him off.

He started to stand wiping the blood from his face "YOU'RE GOING T"

"STUPEFY!" I caught him off guard knocking him back down but I didn't want to stick around to see if it worked.
