The flight to Tallahassee wasn't horribly long. Not a lot of people were on the plane so my mom and I had the pick of the plane, so to speak. During the ride there all I could think of was Hermione and the exploding letter. A lady with her hair pulled in a tight bun with an unnaturally tan face appeared beside me.
"Would you like any lunch?" She asked too politely.
"Yes please." I said, I hadn't realized how hungry I was until now. After ordering a large salad and a cup of soup, I continued on gazing out the window. Sometimes I would tune in to other peoples conversations when I became bored only one of them really caught my attention.
"Did you happen to see those people this morning?" an elderly lady asked to the lady sitting on the other side of her.
"What people?" the lady asked bitterly.
"The ones with the black cloaks and masks. They would be there for a matter of five minutes and then just disappear, just like that!" she snapped her finger to emphasis the disappearing.
"I might of."
"It was so peculiar! The took old Margery into an old house and I never saw her come out!"
"Humph," said the other lady.
"You don't think they could be dangerous, do you?"
"Honestly, Ann, I bet Margery just knew them from somewhere and you just looked away when they took her out."
"I don't know they frightened me." Ann said. "As I walked by one of them, just to get a closer look, they were talking about how some Voldy-rat would be proud of their 'services'."
My heart must have skipped a few beats after they said Voldemort. Maybe I just was hearing things, right?
"One of them was holding some sort of stick thing, he kept pointing it at things and they would change. When he tried to get into a locked door, he just aimed his stick at it and it opened!" Ann said she was getting excited with every word she said. "They looked almost magical, in a terrible way."
Now I was positive my heart stopped. She was talking about wands! Those people Ann was talking about were Death Eaters, the people that call themselves Voldemort' s people.
Oh no, I thought. Could this really be happening? Could muggles really be seeing wizards and magical folk? It can't be, it just can't. Hogwarts and magic isn't real, it was all just a way to create my friends. Now that were moving, I can meet real friends.
Satisfied that I had tricked myself into believing that I took out my MP3 player and listened to my music for the rest of the ride, even though, I couldn't get what Ann had said the whole time.
A/N: I'm really sorry guys I haven't updated in a really long time. I've been soooo busy! But I'm back for now at least. Thanks for sticking with me, if you have. I hope you liked the story; please vote on what could happen next on my profile.
