Best Kept Deadly Secrets…and Lies
Chapter 2
*** Adrianna P.O.V ***
"Aunt Jamie," I sighed, "I have already told you, I am NOT going to Hogwarts." I ranted from my place on my bed while I watched her pack my clothes and books. Aunt Jamie sighed tiredly and aggressively threw down the Hogwarts robes she was neatly folding.
"And I already told YOU," she mocked, "you ARE going." Damn… I attempted to reason with her desperately. "I don't see why I even have to go, I mean it's not like they can teach me anything that I don't already know."
I was serious, I mean, for fuck's sake I am 17 bloody years old and my level of magical knowledge was that of a thirty year old wizard, yet, the headmaster and my aunt feel the need to force me to endure classes with a bunch of 16 year old hormonal idiots.
She turned toward me I could see tears caught in her eyes, "Baby girl, do you think we want you to go, I mean you've never been away from us for long and we're going to miss you like crazy, but this is how it has to be. You need to do this." She pulled me to her and I buried my face in her shoulder, letting one lone tear escape.
With perfect timing I could hear Uncle Matt call that dinner was ready and Noelle and Sapphire stampeding down the stairs into the kitchen. Aunt Jamie and I pulled apart and gave each other watery smiles, wiping our tears. She grabbed my hand and looked at me, "Come on, we better go. After all, this is your goodbye dinner," she gave me a grin and we headed toward the kitchen. The least I could do was enjoy one last night with the only family I have ever known before being cast down into hell.
