Spells fly through the early morning breeze with excited kids running after them. The parents have their coffee in hand laughing. The hippogriffs fly through the air with no care in the world. It’s been 14 years since the battle of Hogwarts and everything has been peaceful. No wars, no fights and especially no death eaters, but this story isn't about Hogwarts or Harry Potter, no, this story is about a girl named Lilith or rather Lily Wood… Lets begin, shall we?
I woke up to my brown owl, Holly singing a sweet tune to wake me. As I begin walking I trip on my slippers and fall face forward onto my floor. “Ughhhh…” I groan as I get up and massage my face. I go over to Holly and let her out of her cage and she flies onto my shoulder. I begin to walk to my door but as I pass my mirror i saw something extra in the reflection. It looked like a black shadow. I blink and look again but this time it was gone… strange. I shrugged it off and walked down the stairs. My parents were on a... ‘business trip’ so I was home alone and had to fend for myself. After I had finished eating I walked back to my mirror and checked again but this time all I saw was the image of a shortish brown haired girl with blue ears and tail. Yes, I am a werewolf but a different kind. I can't turn into a wolf I’m just a human... well a witch with ears and a tail.
I finished getting ready and I walked out to head to my job. It’s the only way I can get money. As I was walking down the street I saw a little girl like me. She looked around eight was being picked on by some other kids. I ran over to her and stood in front of her. “Why are you bullying her?” I asked this kids sternly. “Because, she’s a freak!” One of the older ones almost yelled. “She’s no different to you, she just has ears and a tail!” I was really starting to get frustrated how could adults just sit around and watch this happen? “What is going on here?” A tall lady walked up to us and stood by one of the bullies. “Alex what is happening? Why are you talking to these… mutts.” She said that last word with pure disgust. That’s it. I had had it by then. “Little girl,” I turned to the girl. “Where are your parents?” She turned and pointed over to another werewolf and a wizard. I picked up the girl and walked over to her parents “Ummm… excuse me....” I asked them as I put their child down. They both turned to look at me than at the child. “Mummy, daddy!” The kid yelled as she ran into their arms. I wish I could have a family like that. “Uhmm… Your kid was getting bullied so i just thought that I would bring her too you… I’ll go now…” I turned to walk away but I felt something tug on my shorts. I turned around to see the parents pushing the kid towards me. I crouched down to see what see wanted to say. “Thanks you!” She sung and ran back to her parents, I got back up and smiled at the girl and her parents then walked away.
I walked into work as was immediately ambushed with colour and sweet scents. The toy shop was enchanted to have the smell of your favourite things. For me it was the scent of Lilies and strawberries. I almost got hit by a flying saucer as I went to but my bag down in the employees room. I was walking around the store helping kids get things off shelves but soon I got bored so I took a break and went down to the far corner of the store where no one went. It was my little quiet spot. But as I was walking there I saw a little boy reading a book. “Hello there, what are you reading?” I asked him. No reply. “Hello..?” I asked again this time reaching out to touch but just as I almost touched him something made me apparate.
I appeared in a dark room with no people or objects. I tried to apparate out but there seemed to be something blocking it. I grabbed my wand out “Lumos” I whispered. A bright white light appeared on the end of my wand but it was still black around me. I sat down and tried to think of what I could do to get out of the abyss between my word and another. I closed my eyes and tried to focus more but all I could think about were my parents and that horrific day. Yes, my parents are dead. They were in a car crash on their way home from a business trip. That’s why I say that they are just on a ‘business trip’, to try forget, to try forgive myself for not being there.
I was sitting in the dark. Alone, scared, but the most important thing was that I had hope, faith and everything like that. I opened my eyes and stood back up. I was determined to get back to my life. Get back to my friends. I grabbed my wand and griped it tight. I may kill myself doing this but if I don't, well we’ll have to see then. A single salty tear rolled down my cheek as I thought of my parent once again. ‘It’s now or never’ I thought. “Confingo” As the word slipped my lips I was thrown back by an explosion of white light.
I opened my eyes with a sudden gasp I was… back..? I was standing in the far corner of the toy shop. I looked around. No time had passed. Only one thing was different… The kid was gone… WHere he was sitting was a note. I picked it up. ‘A NEW EVIL WILL ARISE, LILITH YOU'RE THE FIRST VICTIM, FROM, …… ‘ The last bit was smudged. I was terrified but I don’t believe it. How would they know my name… I needed to do something...
