At the age of ten Patrick was as normal a boy as he could be. His Uncle Luke and Aunt Laura rarely spoke to him and totally ignored Audrey and refused to let her do anything for them or Lucky. Patrick didn't understand why there was so much hatred in the house. He didn't understand why his aunt and uncle didn't love him. So far he knew nothing about the magical world. Luke and Laura demanded that there be no magic in there house. Audrey agreed seeing how it was there house.
Patrick was far better looking then Lucky and seemed way smarted. Lucky bullied people and made a few friends that way. Him and his group of friends always picked on Patrick. Most of the time he found a way to get away. He Didn't know how he ended up in some of the weirdest places. The first was when he was seven and he ended up on top of the school bus when it was going down the highway. No one could explain it, but all the kids thought it was cool and it made Lucky even more determined to be better then Patrick. The next time he was nine and his Lucky was chasing him with a knife and Patrick ended up in the tallest tree in the neighborhood. The fire department was called to get him down. Uncle Luke gave him a good lashing. The next day however Patrick found Uncle Luke with a broken arm.
It was a week until his birthday and Audrey said big things were going to happen. Patrick tried to get it out of her but she refused to tell him. However she said he would receive a clue each day up until his birthday. Patrick was excited. His birthday was on Rriday so his first gift came on Saturday. He awoke to find a small book on the end of his bed. Smiling he picked it up.
"Hazza Menet Moldro." Patrick said and dropped the book as the front picture started moving and the lock click open. "What the hell." Patrick said picking it back up. He opened the cover.
"'The World of Magic' by Madelia Dijon." Audrey said standing by the door.
"Ok, the picture moved and the lock came undone by it's self." Patrick said.
"I know, and there is more to learn. You have to figure it out. Enjoy your book and breakfast will be soon so get dressed and come down. Make sure you leave your book up here"
"Yes, Audrey." Patrick said.
He got up and dressed and hid the book under his bed. After breakfast he went upstairs and got the book out. He sat in the middle of his bed and opened it. He started reading it. The next thing he knew he was being called for supper. He hid the book again and ran down stairs. He cleaned up in the bathroom before going in. He sat and Audrey dished him up. "Where have you been all day?" Uncle Luke demanded.
"In my room reading." Patrick said. "I got a great book for my pre birthday week." "Is it that time already." Aunt Laura said. "Yes." Audrey said. "Patrick will be eleven this year and you know what that means." "I don't think so." Aunt Laura said. "Not in my house." "And how do you supposed to stop it?" Audrey said. "No way in hell will I condone that lifestyle." Uncle Luke said. Patrick and Lucky sat watching the argument going on. "Well I will tell you this. Patrick was born to be one and there is no way to stop it." Audrey said. "This path was chosen a long time ago and there is no stopping it. Patrick will discover who he is and then his journey will begin"
A few glasses seemed to shatter and Aunt Laura jump a foot in their air. "Stop it." She demanded. "We said none of it in our house." "Always a stupid muggle." Audrey said moving to clean up the glass. "Patrick finish eating please." "Yes Audrey." Patrick said and down the rest of his food. After Audrey cleaned up his plate and took him upstairs. "Patrick listen to me"
"Ok." Patrick said starring at her. "Some things in this world are not as they seem and in six days your life will change. No matter what happens or what your Aunt or Uncle say you will become an amazing person and you will change the world"
"Yes Audrey." Patrick said. "May I go back to my book please?" "Yes, but why don't you change into your pj's and brush your teeth so if you fall asleep reading." "Ok." Patrick said and went to his restroom. As she predicted he did fall asleep reading his book. She knew his life was starting to change and there would be no going back.
"Yes, Audrey." Patrick said.
He got up and dressed and hid the book under his bed. After breakfast he went upstairs and got the book out. He sat in the middle of his bed and opened it. He started reading it.
