Chapter-7
I spent days trying to figure out what Hermione wrote in that letter. Seeing what happened after my hand touched it, I ran my hand all over the parchment trying to make it happen again. For some reason it was no surprise it didn't work. Something was different the fist time my hand grazed the sheet, something almost magical. No, I had already convinced myself there was no such thing as magic.
My room has progressed far since we moved in. Mother ordered my new bed and curtains for my little window, but we couldn't paint for a few months yet. Summer was a lot warmer here, but there are a lot of lakes around. One day I became bored of sitting around the house for hours at end so I decided to take a walk around town. Outside the bright Florida sun beat down on my back. The sun seemed to be bigger and brighter than it did in Sydney. As I walked around the corner I ran right into a girl about my age and height.
"I'm so sorry!" we said in unison.
The girl looked a bit out of place here in Florida. She had fair skin black hair and freckles on her face.
"Hi, I'm Lisa," I said confidently.
"I'm Kyara," she said.
"Have you lived here long?" I asked, eyeing her appearance.
Kyara laughed, "Year I have about six years actually, I guess I just hadn't picked up the look of the place yet."
That was too true. In the blazing sunlight, she was wearing black jeans with a black long-sleeved shirt and a green button down shirt over that.
"You haven't lived here long either and you look as though you've lived here all your life!" Kyara stated.
"How do you know that?" I asked skeptically.
"I read minds," Kyara said, her voice dripping with sarcasm that I couldn't seem to catch.
My eyes widened at Kyara, but she started to laugh.
"What?" I said, giggling a bit myself, her laughing was infectious.
Soon we were clutching our stomachs, gasping for air, laughing for no particular reason at all. It felt good to finally laugh again! I stopped laughing and look at Kyara and started hollering once again. Not because Kyara necessarily looked funny, but her presence gave off a giddy humorous feeling that made you want to laugh. I knew I had already found a friend in her.
A/N: I'm sorry this was a considerably short chapter but I promise there are many more long ones to come! Maybe not right away though! Please review!
