After much wait and absolutely no idea what I was previously writing, here is chapter 2!
I don't own Harry Potter or any of it's characters. I do own Vespera though :)
It was August 10, and it was 6 in the morning. I couldn't sleep, today was the day that I would be able to get my supplies for school. I sat up off of my bed, and retrieved my laptop. I opened google and typed in "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" then hit search. I wanted to know a little about the school before anyone would come from it to retrieve me. I didn't want to seem like a total idiot. My slow laptop took forever to load search results, and when it did all that showed was a building that was complete ruins, as if it once was a giant castle, but had been collapsed for a thousand years.
I scrolled down until I got to a link that looked almost promising. By promising, I mean it didn't mention how the castle had fallen, didn't mention it was black magic, and even had the names of supposed founders. I clicked the link and it took me to the page. Almost.
A security box opened that read, "You don't have permission to access this page. Please go back and try a different page." I sighed, of course a web page to a secret school would be blocked. I clicked go back, then clicked the same page again. This time it read, "You still don't have permission to access this page. Your persistence has been noted. Please go back and do not return." I smiled, now I was getting somewhere. I went back, and for a third time clicked the link. This time, a box didn't appear. FINALLY. I had gotten in. Or so I thought.
After waiting a minute for the page to download a treasure chest appeared on the screen that read "Click Me!" I, of course, never click these things. I closed the page, and looked at the time. It was already 7. I sighed, realizing opening this page would have to wait.
I didn't know what to expect for the wizarding world. I figured I might as well try to look my absolute best. I opened my closet and pulled out my black pleated skirt, that stopped a couple of inches above my knees. I quickly pulled it on, and grabbed my tall boots that ended halfway up my thigh. I then stood in the middle of my closet and pushed my hair out of my face. I had no idea what top to wear.
I look at my button up tops, and then it hit me which one to wear. I grabbed my short sleeve, emerald-green button up and put it on. I looked at my outfit in the mirror. It looked absolutely fantastic. The next question was whether I should wear makeup or not. Would witches wear makeup? Or would the just spell their faces into looking pretty? I groaned, and stomped my foot like a child. I decided on making it a minimal amount of makeup. I put a light amount of foundation and blush, went heavy on my brown mascara (a girl had to have long eyelashes), put on green and silver eyeshadow, and a clear lip gloss. I looked at my face in the mirror, and smiled at how the silver in the eyeshadow seemed to somehow reflect specks of silver in my eyes. I glanced at the clock again, 7:45. I still had plenty of time to do my hair, especially since I had no idea what time the mysterious person would be here to get my supplies with me.
I un-braided my hair, then combed through it. It reached just past my lower back. I would probably have to cut it before going to this school, I'm sure long hair is frowned upon. I pulled the top half of it into a half updo. I curled all of the bottom half of my hair, then curled a few strands of it that I had pulled up. I hairsprayed my current hairstyle with a hairspray that had a little bit of silver glitter in it, then let the waves, and almost curls fall down my back. This was the best I could look I supposed. It was now 8:15. I ran downstairs and grabbed a piece of toast and a banana, then went back to my room, while eating the toast.
I glanced out my window, at the empty street. Since there was no one there (most people wouldn't even wake up until almost 9), I assumed I had more time to try to open that webpage up.
I went to my history, found the link to the page,and reopened it. The treasure chest appeared again, "Click Me!" it read. Then in fine print it said, "Clicking this chest will take you to the home page." I sighed, and clicked the treasure chest. The treasure chest began to glow and I sat back from my laptop, I figured whatever was about to happen would take a while, with my slow laptop. All of a sudden a boa constrictor came out of my screen. I had a perfectly normal reaction, and screamed.
"OH MY GOSH THERE IS A GIANT SNAKE IN MY BED!" It slowly slithered closer to me. I backed up, but was quickly cornered by my wall. There was no where for me to go, nothing that I could do, I was going to die. The snake slowly crawled up my leg then began winding itself around my waist. It was slowly constricting me, only fitting for it's name. It was beginning to become difficult to breathe, it probably didn't help that I was on the verge of hyperventilating.
Suddenly my door burst open and someone in a cloak appeared in my doorway. I heard a voice say, "Ridiculous!" The boa constrictor turned into a wooden play snake, that was when I blacked out.
That's the end of chapter 2! Please review it and what not. Come back for an update soon :D
