Chapter 1 – The Beginning of the Storm

"Come back here you bookworm, we only want to talk with you" shouted a teenaged boy as he and his friends chased a similar aged girl across the street but stopped when she entered the towns library where she had always found solace from the bullies from around town.

"Finally, somewhere those oafs won't come in to; the library" said the girl with a hint of Irish in her voice, clearly quite happy that she had outrun the bullies, this time.

For a full fifteen minutes, the girl sat near the door with a book with one eye on the words and the other on the street, making sure that the bullies would not actually take the leap of faith and enter the library.

"Bullies?"

The girl squeaked in fear and spun around quickly to tell the person who scared her to go away before she stopped and stared at the softly smiling face in front of her.

"P-pardon?" she asked, silently berating herself over the hint of a quiver from the lingering shock.

"I saw that you were being chased by a group of bullies, I have personal experience so I know what it's like to be persecuted because of the pursuit of knowledge, may I take a seat and may I ask your name?" the male asked with a hand pointing towards one the seats.

"Sure, go ahead and my name is Sarah Cavanagh," the now named Sarah but getting a bit suspicious as to why the male in front of her was talking to her.

"Well Miss Cavanagh, you see I was in this very library for some time before you showed up, racing in to hide yourself from those whom you would call bullies, those who pursue knowledge are to be commended, in this day and age knowledge can certainly overcome a lot of problems."

As Sarah sat and listened, she became rather entranced by what the man across from her was saying, as if she could not tear herself away from listening.

"Let me guess you've always been the inquisitive type of person that would rather keep reading on a subject and then immediately go into another?"

"Sort of like that yes, but I always get road blocked because some of the subjects might be deemed too 'mature' for me to read" Sarah said with an annoyed sigh.

"Well hear this out then you can either tell me to bugger off because I'm a nutter, or we can talk some more and hopefully begin a friendship, sound okay to you?"

Sarah looked at the male with a critical eye, she had always been good at spotting lies whenever she was told them but with what this man had said, she could not even detect that he was lying at all, plus she really wanted to read something that was deemed too adult by her parents and she was going slightly crazy over not reading about it.

"I would say let's hear it, but I reserve the right to get up and walk away" Sarah said with a firm tone.

"That is perfectly find Miss Cavanagh, well firstly let me introduce myself; my name is Harry Potter and I'm here to offer you help…."

Scene break

During the night across the city was a nightclub, with music thumping loud and young people dancing to their hearts content, with friends, lovers or by themselves looking for a special someone.

Outside of the club was a girl named Lisa Jenkins, who was just shy of becoming of legal age and thus she was refused when she and her friends turned up at the nightclub looking for a fun time together.

"Dammit, I can't believe the nerve of that bouncer, all I wanted was a good time, maybe drink a little, even hook up with a guy but no, apparently I'm too much of a minor still to have a fun time" Lisa grumbled as she began to wait for a taxi come get her to take her home.

"You know if you wanted to have a fun time, you didn't really need to go to a nightclub, I can find you a much better activity to have fun in"

Lisa shrieked in terror as she whipped around with a hand over her heart and her hand almost calling for the police when she realised that the voice belonged to a teenaged girl.

"What did you say?" Lisa demanded of the girl.

"I said; 'You know if you wanted to have a fun time, you didn't really need to go to a nightclub, I can find you a much better activity to have fun in'"

Lisa stared at the girl with a raised eyebrow and was quite dismissive of her words.

"Please, like a fourteen-year-old would know what fun is, go back to mummy and daddy sweetheart, leave the real fun to the adults" Lisa said with a dismissive wave.

"We both know that you're not an adult, why would you be not allowed into the club if you were one? I can show you a much better high than these boring nightclubs"

Lisa was slightly intrigued as to what the young girl could show her but was still not buying into what she was selling.

"Alright, say I do believe you, what then? You take me back to your secret hideout and we eat pizza and watch sappy rom-coms all night?" Lisa huffed a laugh.

"No, I show you what real pleasure is and bring you to the peak of ecstasy, then you can decide whether or not to go back to your nightclubs and I'll go back to mummy and daddy"

Lisa was incredibly shocked and surprised at what the younger girl had stated and what Lisa thought in her mind, what she implied.

She was of two minds in what to do, on one hand she wanted to stay and wait for the taxi and on the other, she wanted to find out and explore if the younger girl was telling the truth.

"Say if I wanted to come with you, there's still the danger of being drugged and kidnapped from strange older men that could've used you as bait" Lisa said with a cautionary look towards the club and made sure she was still under a lamppost.

"True, but what's life without a little thrill, the more the thrill, the more pleasure you can get out of life, wouldn't you agree?" the younger girl said with what Lisa thought was a slight moan and smile.

After a few minutes of internal debating, Lisa's wild side came out on top and she started to walk towards the younger girl with a look of desire for the pleasure.

"You won't ever regret this Lisa my dear, oh and please call me Hermione, it will be such a pleasure…"

That is the first chapter of The Affliction, it's just a short one to ease ourselves back into the story and prep ourselves for the next one.

Give it a good read, possibly even give a review as they are always welcome and it tells me if you're liking the story and you have yourself a very good day :)
