Lily - Entry 3 ✧✧✧✧ When I run out of ELA, I crash into multiple lockers and water fountains until I find Alex. "You wanted to talk to me?" I ask, panting and leaning against a locker. He turns around. "Um, yes. Can I... Look in your bag?" "My bag?!" My mind goes to the wooden rod buried underneath my books. My wand. /I am not letting a Muggle see that./ He nods. "I just want to see something." "No. What is in my bag is none of your business." Alexander's eyes brighten even more. Which makes me even more confused. He then grabs me by the arm and proceeds to pull me into an empty classroom. Then he lets go. "Can I ask something?" "Depends on what you ask." I say, then see my wand trying to make an appearance. I push it back in quickly. "Are you a witch?" I falter. I feel my eyes widen and my face turn red. A paper flies off the teacher's desk and into his face. My breathing comes quick. /H-h-how?/ "Um..." I say, "What- er- led you to that-?" "I thought I heard you say 'oh merlin'." "Ummmmm y-you must have heard wrong.. I-I mean. Witches? Wizards? Pff, no such- uh- t-thing." I feel my face heat up even more. I breath more heavily. Alex shrugs, "Well..." Then I hear something... Wooden clatter on the floor. I check my bag out of the corner of my eye. My wand is still in there. The I look at Alex's bag on the floor. There's a wooden rod sticking out of it on the floor. My mouth opens a bit and Alex's face turns a light shade of maroon. I bend down and pick it up before he can. We make quite a racket. I study it. It's a wand. A black and gold wand. "H-h-how?" I look at the boy, who looks quite uncomfortable. I then give it back. He opens his mouth to say something, but before he can, I decide to take my wand out. I pull out my honey-colored wand and show it to him. His face shows understanding. "A-Are you a wizard?" I ask. He nods. "And you a witch?" I nod. We stare at each other for a bit, coming to a silent understanding. /That's why he acted weird whenever he noticed me. It wasn't because he l1ked me, he just noticed how I seemed... Magical in a way. Because I was. I mov3d from Br1tan in my second year at Hogwarts. My mum teaches me magic after school so I can still hang out with Grace. I do miss my friends. I miss hanging out in the Hufflepuff common room after school.../ "Um..." Alex's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "Huh?" I say quickly, then remembering what was going on. My face starts heating up again. I trace the silver hints on my wand. "Have you ever noticed how weird things happen with Grace?" He asks. "Yeah... But I know she's not like us," I do a hand motion, "There is something, but I don't think she's in the wizarding community. She seems like a muggle." "A what?" "What you Am3r1cans call 'no-majs'." "Oh... Yeah." I nod. "Well... What do you think she is?" He asks. "Well..." I start, but then stop myself. /I see weird stuff stalking her sometimes./ Alex seems confused, but doesn't say anything. He just grabs his stuff, shoves his wand back into his bag, and walks out. I do the same and then go to meet Grace at the bus. ✧✧✧✧ Afterwards, Grace keeps prodding me to tell her what was going on. When I got home, I dropped my bag at the door and ran upstairs, then fell over onto my bed. My face was still burning. /She mentioned David.../ I smile a bit as I think of the boy. I saw him about a week ago and immediately fell. Literally. I crashed into a locker. "Honey?" My mum, Nadine Rose is in my doorway, watching me lay on my bed. I sit up. "Oh, hi mum." "Hi hon. I just came up to check on you." Mum sits next to me on my bed. I nod and open my mouth to say something. But then I feel the earth shake. My breath catches in my throat. I grab my phone, run downstairs and grab my wand. The earth is still shaking. I quickly text Grace. 'Grace! Are you okay? I'm coming over! I-' The ground shakes more and I fall over, my phone flying out of my hand. It feels like I hit my head as I fell and I check to see if my glasses are still on. They are, thank merlin. I lay there, the ground still shaking and the world spinning. I finally clear my head, sit up, and run out the door, which was probably a stup1d decision. But I don't care, so I run to Grace's h0use.
This was so long, omg-
