Preface
"Well… here we are." said Sam.
"What is 'here', exactly?" asked Seth.
"Diagon Alley…" smiled Emily as we all walked down the crowed streets.
"It's so beautiful…" smiled Leah.
"Hey, guys, Ollivander's is over here!" announced Sam.
After all of our wands were bought, we got our books, and pet. Quil got an iguana, Jake got a bat, Seth got a black kitten, Paul got a fox, Jared got a brown rabbit, and I got a wolf pup.
"Hey, can I go to this shop?" I asked Sam.
"That's right down the street from us, so… yeah." Nodded Sam as he looked at the map.
"Meet us back here in an hour," said Emily as she kissed my forehead.
I nodded and started walkin down the street. When I arrived at the shop, I walked in and was hit with the smell of burning sage and old books. I looked around and there were crystal balls, tarot cards, and a mix of Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff. I ran my hand across a full-length mirror as I was walking by it and it started fogging up. I looked at it and the fog went away; in it's place was an Indian woman with two braids, an old dress for Indian mothers, and a necklace of the Quileute symbol around her neck.
"Embry…" she whispered, "Come here…"
I took a few steps closer and her hand came out of the mirror and I took it, hesitantly. She pulled me into the mirror and we were walking on clouds. We stopped at a wall of clouds and she ran her hand across a small area.
"Watch…" she commanded, in a hushed tone, "You are about to find something so rare this year and it will change your life forever…"
"What?" I asked.
"Love… an Imprintee, my child."
My eyes widened and I looked through the window she had created. I saw myself in wolf form and a girl petting me. I could only see her back side… she had dark dark brown hain, close to black, and her skin was pale. The picture changed and I saw her back to me again but, this time, I was in human form and standing in front of her, smiling. I held her face in my hands and I leaned forward to kiss her. The image changed again and I saw her back to me, again; she was wearing pale pink tights, black legwarmers, pointe shoes, dark green shorts, a black tank top, and her hair was up in a high bun.
"Who is she?" I asked, dazed.
"I cannot tell you…" she sighed.
I was pushed back, by an invisible force, and I landed on the floor, in front of the mirror, on my back. I looked at the mirror and the woman was fading away.
"Keep your eyes open, Embry…" she whispered, "She'll be coming… coming… coming…"
"Hey!" shouted a voice, "What are you doing?"
A woman with a slight hunchback, frizzy, curly, gray hair to her shoulders, a raggedy dress, a tattered witch hat positioned on the right side of her head, she was African American, and had the tattoo of a snake on her neck. She adjusted her glasses and squinted at me before smiling. I stood up and she ran her hands over my face, slowly and while shaking.
"Another one…" she whispered.
"What? Another… what?" I asked, officially freaked out.
"Another, remarkable, asset to my house…"
"House? What house?"
"Your house at Hogwarts, my boy! You are a shape-shifter, no?"
"Y-yes… but, how-"
"Tut-tut!" she started rummaging through stuff on her shelves, "Now, what happened to it? I just saw it here the other day. Ah-ha! Here it is…"
She go a paper bag, like a sack lunch bag, and started putting stuff in it. She put a, small, bottle of a, very, sparkly white powder in and I instantly became curious as to what she was putting in there. After she'd put, about, five bottles in the bag, she put a black, velvet, box in and a dark green, velvet, box. She closed up the bag and handed it to me.
"There you go, dearie…" she smiled.
"Th- thank you…" I stuttered, "How much?"
"Oh, no… it's on the house. You'll need these and any person that's in my house, I take great care of them."
"Thanks…"
