So I made this chapter a bit longer because the other on was WAY too short. I relly hope you like it. Read, Reveiw and I hope you like it.

“Are you from social Services?” I asked in a small voice.

“No. How about you tell the two girls in the closet to come out. I hardly think that that is an appropriate place to sleep in.” My eyebrows raised a ton. How did he know Emma and Hayley were in there. I walked over to the closet and help the two nine-year-olds get out and I let them sit on my desk. I take a seat in the chair. He does, then his questioning starts.

“So Miss Crystal How long have you been at this orphanage?”

“Since I was three, I think. I remember a woman she called herself my aunt but I don’t know.”

“Hows life been here?”

“Good, Sir are you sure you're not from social services?”

“Positive. Now hear me out with this. Have you ever done something when you were really mad or really sad?”

“Umm. I guess so. Once last year Mrs. Carthage’s hair turned blue after she was mean to Emma and hayley.”

“What did they do?”

“Emma didn’t finish her chores on time and Haley was because she accidentally cut herself.”

“Interesting. Now Crystal I am going to be frank with you. You’re a witch.”

“What?” I ask in a voice that is barely audibly.

“You can do magic. When That horrid caretaker’s hair turned blue you made it. When you were four and your hair turned purple and-” wait how does he know I can change how I look. In response my hair then turned black and cut itself to a short choppy length. He looked up and said, “Do you believe me now? In your mind when your instincts come it is to have a magical response it takes until a child is eleven which you just turned to start properly learning. Now is your time to Learn Crystal, The headmaster asked me to come here and tell you. You are a special girl Crystal, I knew you parents and they were my only true friends after fifth year. So would you like to learn magic?” The man, Severus Snape asked.

Okay lets recap all of this, I thought in My mind, So this man says I’m a witch and there is a school that I can go to to learn magic and control my powers better. What is going to happen to Emma and Hayley? I look out for those two, I’ve taken charge of them and I can’t lose them for a year even if I see them still in summer. I don’t know what to do. I looked back up and the Man, Mr. Snape, just stared off into space. I cleared my throat and he snapped back to reality.

“I will go sir, but on one condition. These girls are like family to me. I want them close by to me. Something could happen if I go away even for an hour here. Almost always they get punished for something they did not even do. All I ask is that I bring them to school with me.” I said and stared him straight in the eyes.

“I will talk to the headmaster but you do accept?” He replied back keeping his face straight and with a slight grimace.

“I do accept but on that one condition. These girls are my family and I will never desert them. Now I must get them back to their rooms and to their beds. I will return shortly sir.” I said that and the girls almost immediately started to fall asleep. I picked them up balanced them both on my two hips and used one hand to open the door. I then walked two doors down to the room they shared with another girl. I set Emma in her bed, kissed her head and tucked her in. I then repeated the same to Hayley. After doing that twice I crept out of the room and back to my room. After I walked back into my room I shut the door once more and sat on my desk. Severus then stood up and I followed suit. He pulled a letter out from the folds of his coat and extended it to me. I grasped the letter and said, “Have a good night sir.” He then said a similar farewell and he then strode out the door. After the door had been for the fourth time shut I laid down on my bed and immediately hit slumber.
