It took us just over an hour before we drove past a sign that said, 'Welcome to Forks, Washington.' We made it, I guess. I sighed quietly to myself and looked out the window at the different stores that we were driving past. It seems like a nice town. Quiet, rich with history, although I doubt they've ever seen a war here before. Or death. Nothing happens in small towns like these. The people here are sheltered from the rest of the world. All these trees surrounding the area make it seem secluded. Who'd really want to come here anyway? It has to be the rainiest place in the world. Yep, I reckon nothing bad ever happens here. Muggles are lucky. Sometimes I wish I was one. Maybe Fred would still be here if we lived in a place like this.
"Here we are ma'am and sir." Said the taxi driver, as we pulled into a parking lot, with a large building in front of us. It was a nice place, maybe a little old and run down, but overall it seemed nice. The taxi came to a stop and the driver hopped out and started pulling my luggage out of the boot, which I heard him call it a 'trunk,' and mum paid him with muggle money and thanked him for driving us. He got back in the car and drove away. Mum walked me over to an office so I could check in. An older man was sitting at the desk and jumped up to his feet when he saw us walk in.
"Hello sir." Mum said as she rang a little bell on the counter. He laughed at mum's face. She was startled by the sound. "My son here," She said gesturing to me. "Is checking in. George Weasley." The man went to a box looking thing and started tapping his fingers on a rectangle shape thing that was attached to the box thing. I had no idea what it was and I have never seen anything like it before. The man looked up at me, seeing my confused face. He laughed.
"I know, I know. It needs updating, I'm hoping to update it to a laptop and take it with me at the end of the day. I've never been comfortable with leaving the computer here, with everyone's information on it." Ah so that's a computer. I remember Hermione and Harry talking about them. Something about 'surfing the web,' whatever that means. "Alrighty, here you go George." He said as he handed me a set of keys. "Big key is for your apartment, medium key is for the pool and the littlest key is for the mail box." He said as he came around the desk. "You'll be in room number 27, mailbox number 27 is yours and if you have a car your parking space is number 27." He laughed as he walked mother and me out the door. "We try keeping things simple here." He explained. "Trash day is on Thursdays, just place everything outside your door and the janitorial service will pick it up. I think that's all you need to know for now, if you have any questions or concerns... I'm in the office from 8am-6:30pm every day." He stopped to look around at the apartment building, he seemed a little out of breath from talking. "Well, welcome to Forks. I'm sure you'll find that you'll like it here."
"Thank you." I said to him, he patted my arm as he turned to walk back into his office.
"Well, he's nice." Said mum. "Come along George, let's get you moved in." She said as she walked over to my new room. She waited for me as I unlocked it and I held the door open so she could walk in first. "Oh look at this place." Mum squealed with excitement as she started looking around. "I have no idea what most of these things are. Is this a computer?" She asked me, as she pointed a box shaped thing. I shrugged, it might have been one, but I wasn't sure.
I hear a loud popping sound outside of my room and turned to see dad standing there. I gave him a half smile as he walked into the room.
"Nice place you've got here George. Oh look... a television." He said as he walked over to the computer thing. "This is the remote. You use it to turn it on." He said as he showed me the remote and how to turn the TV on and off. So, I guess it wasn't a computer. "Oh and a telephone!" He said excitedly as he ran over to it. "Did you know that muggles now carry miniature versions of these in their pockets? They've come up with all sorts of crazy technology here." I laughed a little as dad went exploring my new room. I decided to unpack my things, while he and mum walked around.
When I had finished I walked over and sat on my bed. Mum saw me sit down and walked over to me.
"How are you doing, George?" She asked me, her face full of concern.
"I'm okay. It's just a lot to take in." Dad could sense that I was about to break down again and came over and sat next to me.
"I know you must feel like we're abandoning you, son, but we don't know what else to do. I think this muggle assignment will be good for you. You need to get away and start over with your life." I wanted to argue with him, but I just didn't have it in me. I lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Dad patted my knee. "I guess I should tell you more about the assignment. Come on, sit up." I grumpily sat up and listened to him as he explained my assignment. "We sent you here, because a seer saw something that could very well cause major problems for not only Hogwarts, but the rest of the world. A young girl has been seen falling in love with a vampire." I sat up straight at the mention of vampires.
"Vampire? You mean there are vampires here?" My dad nodded. "In Forks?" He nodded again. "Blimey." Dad laughed at me.
"Vampires aren't the only supernatural creatures out here either; there are also shape shifters, mortal enemies of the vampires here too!" He said excitedly" All I could do was stare at him. I never would have guessed, seemed like such a quiet town. "Now as I was saying, the girl was seen falling in love with a vampire, which is just the start. You see, the shape shifters have a treaty with the vampires here. As long as the vampires don't harm cause any harm to the muggles, not a single drop of blood spilled by them, the shape shifters will leave them alone, but the girl ends up getting bitten by one of the vampires and she's turned, breaking the treaty. It will be the beginning of an end if this happens. Much destruction and death will happen. It will be an all-out war. Muggles will find out about the vampires and shape shifters and try to defend themselves. Witches and wizards are seen trying to fix everything and it just becomes mass chaos. So, you see why it's crucial that you keep this young girl away from the vampire." I gulped.
"So basically, you're saying the fate of the world is in my hands?" Dad nodded his head. "Merlin!"
"It won't be so bad George; you'll meet the girl tomorrow. It will be her first day at Forks High School too." I rolled my eyes again. Yay... muggle high school. This ought to be a blast...
Please review friends! It makes my day SO much better! ;-)
