The next day passed by very quickly for me and Kelsey. Most of my last day in Illinois was spent going back to my house to receive all my belongings. Then when we got back to her house we put all my things in cardboard boxes and bags so I could get them all brought over to England. That night was spent sleepless and scared. Kelsey fell asleep somewhere around 4:45 the morning I was to leave and that left me alone to my own thoughts. What was it going to be like living with someone I've never met or let alone herd of? And how will I fit in , in a whole different country.
My thoughts revolved around questions like that the rest of that night…well morning until Mama Faye came to wake Kelsey and me up. Seeing that I was already awake I quickly grabbed some clothes and went to take a quick shower before heading out to the air port. When I got back to Kels's room she was wide awake and ready to help me put all my shit in the car. After Mama and Papa T was ready we set out on a journey to bring me to my hell.
We got to the air port and have everything straitened out a half an hour before my flight was going to take off. So, us four, sat there in depressing silence waiting for my flight number to be called.
"Will Flight 2266 please enter the gate now, the plane will be taking off shortly." A young woman announced over the intercom. I stood up followed by Kelsey and her rents.
"It was nice knowing you for as long as we have, I'll miss you" Mama Faye said hugging me and kissing my cheek. Once she released me Papa Frank gave me a tight bear-ish hug before letting go.
"Don't forget to write me, ho." Kelsey said with teary eyes.
"Of Corse I wont, how could I forget something like that. Especially now?" I said smiling weakly.
" Hell if I know, but I'll come to what's its place, England and find you then beat you up if you don't keep in touch" she said seriously before hugging me. I hugged her tightly back not wanting to let go. But unfortunately another warning for my flight sounded over the speakers and we were forced by her mom to let go.
I took a step away from her and looked at her tear streaked face. I took the sleeve of my shirt and dried her eyes before giving a week smile to them and walking away to my gate. Once I got the gate I walked through without looking back.
I took my seat by the window and buckled my belt waiting for the plane to start. Not to long after I was seated the plane took off. Which didn't thrill me at all. I wasn't going to be a very nice cousin when I got done with this flight. So this guy better not be surprised that I'm bitchy.
The flight was a very long flight. I was somewhat happy when we landed. Once it was announced that we could exit the plane I quickly de-boarded the plane. I didn't know were I was suppose to meet my wonderful cousin of mine so I just stood about a yard or two away from my gate. It wasn't until the gate was cleared of people did a man with shoulder length greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and wearing all black walk up to me.
"Charlie, I assume." He said with a sneer. I looked at the guy with major dislike.
"Yea, that would be me. Let me guess you would be my forty something year old cousin? Though I hate to break it to you but you look much older than a person in their forties." I said with a sarcastic smile. He just looked at me un-amused.
"My name is Severus Snape, your cousin as you pleasantly pointed out. You'll be living with me until further notice. I've already collected all your belongings and put them in our transportation." He said then started to walk off in the direction in which he came.
I rolled my eyes and followed him to a black Cadillac limo that was waiting right outside the door of the airport. I gawked at it and gently ran my fingers over the top of the cars trunk. After realizing Severus had entered the car, no scratch that, CADILLAC LIMO! I also entered and closed the door. Once inside I looked over to my…lovable cousin waiting for some type of explanation about this whole situation.
"It's rude to stare, you know." He drawled.
"I'm not staring" I replied rolling my eyes.
"Then what, pray tell, would it be that your doing" he asked raising an eyebrow. I gave him a glare. Not because of what he said, no, because he can raise one eyebrow and I cant. The lucky bastard.
"I'm waiting for you to tell me what the hell is going on. Why you of all people, chose to take me in when I could have just lived with my best friend until I had enough money to live on my own?" I said in one big breath.
"I cannot explain anything dealing with that now. Once were at headquarters then I'll explain." He promised then looked out the window. Not to long after he said that did the Cadillac come to a complete stop at our destination. Once we got out of the limo Sev handed me a piece of paper. I opened it and it said The Headquarters of the Order Of the Phoenix resign at Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"What am I suppose to do with this?" I asked shaking the paper at him.
"Read it and memorize what it said." He answered taking the paper from me putting it in his mouth and eating it. I looked at him in discuss. I turned away from him and looked at the once empty lot that was in front of me.There was now an old crappy worn down house there. Once Severus saw that I noticed the house he started to walk towards the door and knocked on it once he reached it.
Not to long after he knocked the door cracked open and he entered the house. I quickly walked up to the house and entered before it closed. Once inside I was met with total darkness. Being truthful, it creped me the fuck out. So me being me I started to walk forward with my arms stretched out to make sure I wouldn't run into anything or anyone.
After walking about ten steps I saw a crack in the wall were light was streaming out of. Getting closer to that crack I noticed that it was a door. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before opening the door.
