The Magic in Schitts Creek (Originally Named: Schitts Creek)

Little Sister: 1

I read the Daily Prophet for any new information on Hermione's adventures. Mom shot out of her bed shouting profanities. I rolled my eyes and folded the paper up. There was an aggressive knock at the door. Dad answered and Aunt Dee Dee came in.

"Guess who?" Aunt Dee Dee stepped into the room.

"Dee Dee?" Dad pushed the door shut. Aunt Dee Dee crossed her arms in front of her.

"Hi, mono." She told mom. Mom wore a deep frown and glared at her sister.

"What the hell?" She asked surprised and with a hint of anger. I decided to remain in the shadows and watch.

"Sorry," she cast a glance at Dad, "I know I should've called but um... I just thought it'd be really fun to come and see my older sister." She looked at me and smiled. A chill ran up my spine as I recalled those horrid lessons with Umbridge.

"Evan!" She hugged me, "Oh, you've gotten taller from the last time I saw you." She squeezed my arms, "And more muscular too." Dad made coffee.

"So, Dee Dee you are... looking well." He said as Aunt Dee Dee observed herself in the mirror.

"Seaweed facials." She responded, "I get one every week. But enough about me, I want to talk about you guys." I went back to reading the paper. I felt a tap on the shoulder. Someone then pulled the paper out of my hands.

"Evan, how's Quidditch? Did you pursue it full time?" Aunt Dee Dee asked. I sent her a look but responded anyway.

"I didn't pursue it, I went and got a government job." She made a tsking sound and shook her head disapprovingly.

"That's too bad." She chuckled as I shifted uncomfortably. Dad seemed to feel my discomfort and shifted the conversation.

"KIDS! Come in and say hi to your aunt Dee Dee." He knocked on the door. I folded the paper and sat back in the chair. David and Alexis entered the room. Aunt Dee Dee gasped.

"Look at you guys. You've grown!" She marveled. David and Alexis were still confused. Alexis pointed at Dee Dee.

"Why did I think that you were dead?" She asked. My eyes went wide and I looked at Mom. I walked over to my trunk and put the paper inside. I watched as she pulled out three envelopes and gave two to David and Alexis.

"Treat yourself. Buy something nice." She told them. Dee Dee then walked over to me and handed me the envelope. I turned around and handed it to Mom.

"Keep it for a rainy day, Mom," I whispered. I saw her eyes go wide and mouth the word 'Mom' as I silently slipped through the door. I ran up the street and went to a bookstore. I browsed their selection carefully and left empty-handed. I walked down the busy streets of the town warily. I sat on a bench and observed the people. There was a creak and someone sat next to me. I didn't need to turn to know who it was.

"I don't know how in the world you do this. I find it difficult." A smooth voice said from beside me. I shook my head.

"Mr. Reddington, always a pleasure, sir." I chuckled and looked at him. He took off his Aviator glasses and fiddled with them.

"I need a favor." I raised an eyebrow, "There have been mysterious disappearances and murders going around and this was found over it. Tell me what you know." He handed me a picture of the Dark Mark. I inhaled sharply.

"The attacks originated in the UK and spread to the US. They were lead by my uncle, Tom Riddle, but he changed his name into an anagram. I can't say, but the Ministry in London was infiltrated by his followers recently. I have a friend of mine, however, who is planning to kill him." I gave him the photo, "The best thing you can do is be wary." I stood from the bench and offered a hand.

"Lunch?" I asked. He nodded and we went to the café.
