Chapter 2: The Mansion
It was an uncomfortable ride back to the mansion. I could tell Katie was very upset about something. 'Are you sure your okay, Katie?' I said.
'I told you I am fine.' She said in an angry, but still upset voice. I was a little hurt I guess she saw that. She said, 'I am sorry. I'm just upset.' I decided to leave her alone. I turned on the radio one of my favorite muggle songs came on. I started to sing along.
What you got if you ain't got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking 'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small!
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Then, the song was over and we were home. We all walked inside and I walked to my room and packed my clothes. I picked out a bunch of my favorite outfits. The thing is since I can have an alternate uniform I can wear any clothes that aren't inappropriate, but I must have a tie with my outfit or my class colors.
I am a part of Ravenclaw house so my colors are blue and bronze. I heard a knock at my door. 'Hey, it's me open up.' I knew this voice.
'Hermione is that you.' I opened the door. 'Wow, hey Hermione'.
She stepped in, 'Hey, I forgot to tell you this year there is a dance so you should pack a dress.'
'O my god. Are you serious? I have nothing to wear will you go shopping with me, please, please, please.'
'Sure that's why I came over I have to shop and I am not going with Ron or Harry.' We both laughed. She said, 'Okay, let's go.' We walked downstairs.
'Mom, Hermione and I are going to Regents Park. To do some shopping by there.'
Mom said, 'Okay, just be home by sun down so you and Hermione can go to The Weasleys.'
