The other Black

chapter one

'SKYLER! DOWN NOW!' I heard Mrs Adams screamed. I sighed and closed my book. This couldn't be good. Not that it could be good anytime she called me downstairs if it wasn't for dinner or lunch. I walked down the stairs and watch Charlotte come out of the office from Mr and Mrs Adams. When she walks past me she gifs me that famous evil grin of her. I look at her and if looks could kill she will be dead by now. I knock on the door of the office before I walk in. 'you wanted to see me, Mrs Adams?' I say trying to stay respectful. 'yes Skyler I indeed wanted to see you' I already can guess where this is about. 'Charlotte came to me really upset and she told me that you threatened to throw her out of a window on the fourth floor. Is this true Skyler?' I tried to hold back my laugh in which I fail 'yes I did' I laugh but my laugh fades away fast when her hand hit my cheek. A burning feeling goes through my cheek. As I look up at here is she pointing her wand at me. Yes, she is a witch, unfortunately. Mr Adams isn't a wizard so to be punished by him is less bad. So I have bad luck today. ' how many times do I have to tell you that such behaviour is not allowed in this orphan house. Do you understand me?!' she yells at me. 'yes' I say quietly. Again I feel my cheek heat up if she hit the other one.' Talk with two words if you talk to me!' she waves with her wand and a deep cut appears on my cheek. 'you're a wordless piece of garbage. A waste of my time...' she goes on and on as I see the Daily Prophet of today laying on the desk. It feels like my heart stops beating for a minute as I see what is on the for the page. I see a moving picture of my father on it with "escape from Azkaban" as the headline. Mrs Adams who suddenly stops with her preach follows my eyes and sees where I looking at. She starts laughing as she takes the paper from the desk. 'your scared little girl? For your own father?' she laughs 'you are just like him. Dum and stupid. Mentally ill. You will end up just like him in prison. Probably leaving a child in an orphan house. There are you dumb enough for getting pregnant just like your mother. She got pregnant when she was only 18. Little whore that she is.' that was the last straw for me ' SHUT IT!' I yell 'YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY MOTHER FATHER OR ME! THE ONLY ONE WHO IS MENTALLY ILL IN THIS HOUS IS YOU. AND THOSE PRINCESSES ARE DUMB NOT ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!' on the face of Mrs Adams was no colour left out of anger. Without hesitation she points her wand at me 'Curcio' she yells. A deadly pain goes through my body. My legs can't hold it and I fall to the ground. I want to cry but I don't want to gif her that satisfaction. My knuckles are white because I'm squeezing the carpet. I scream out of pain when Mr Adams walks into the office. He is watching how his wife is torturing a 14-year-old girl. After a few minutes, he finally speaks. 'Eartha this is enough' Mrs Adams sighs 'oke Barnet' and the pain stops 'go to your room now!' yells Mr Adams. 'I don't want to see you anymore today understand?' 'yes, Mr Adams.' I say quietly while I'm trying to get up. I'm walking to my room while the pain slowly fades away. I slam the door hard and a picture frame falls off my dresser. I pick up the picture frame and see that the glass is broken. 'shit' I curse softly. I look at the picture in the frame and smile at the memory. it's a picture of Fred George and me.

Flashback

'here is your trunk and good luck' Mr Adams says when he puts my trunk in front of me and gets back into the car. 'we will see you at Christmas. Goodbye.' And then he drivees away. Oke nice I'm standing on kings cross station and I have no idea where I need to be. Great start. Oke where are the baggage carts? Oh right there. I walk in the direction of the baggage carts when I hear a woman with ginger hair talk to her children. ' it every year the same full with muggles. Come on boys keep up' the woman says. 'muggles' I whisper to myself. I heard Mrs Adams says when she was talking about the wizarding world. I quickly put my trunk on a baggage cart and follow the woman with her children. 'oke Charlie you first' the in my eyes oldest child run straight for the wall between platforms 9 and 10. I'm waiting for the noise of him crashing this against the wall but to my surprise, he goes right through the wall! I blink a few times before I walking to the woman. 'ehum excuse me' is say so friendly as possible. The woman turns around 'oh hello my dear how can I help you?' she says while giving me a warm smile. 'can you tell me how to..ehum ' I point to the wall. 'how to come on the platform?' I nod 'of course darling. The only thing you have to do is run straight at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. Don't stop and don't be scared you will crash into it, that's the most important. Is it your first time at Hogwarts?' she asks friendly. 'yeah it is so I'm a kind of nervous' I smile a bit awkwardly. ' it is oke to be nervous dear. It's also Fred and George their first time.' She points at the two boys who were listening to the conversation. They smiled at me and I smiled back. The two boys looked like two drops of water but there was something different. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was something. 'you ready dear?' the woman asked. I nod. I start running straight at the barrier ready to crash. but instead, there is a beautiful platform where an old steam train is ready to depart. I walk closer to the train and look at it with big eyes. 'wow' I whisper under my breath. I take my trunk of the baggage cart and put the baggage cart back in line. I lift my trunk and try to put it in the train. 'need a hand' a voice behind me ask. I turn around and see the oldest child of the friendly woman who helped me. 'yes please' I say with a laugh trying to laugh my nervous away. He easily lifts my trunk and put him in the train. 'there you go' he smiles and reaches out his hand to me which I accept gladly. 'Charlie Weasley is the name' he says 'Skyler b.. Mckinnon.' I answer. 'it's a pleaser meting you Skyler. Where are your parents?' he asks and my smile disappears. 'I-.. I don't have parents... I live in an orphan house.. since I'm 3 years old.' I smile weakly trying not to make it awkward. 'I'm sorry to hear that.' He scrats awkwardly the back of his head. 'it doesn't matter.' I smile. He wants to say something when another ginger boy calls his name. 'I'm sorry but I have to go. See you around Skyler.' He walks away with a quick wave. I step into the train and search for a place to sit when a compartment door slid open. The heads of one of the ginger hairy twins stick out. 'you can sit with us if you want.' I smile and nod. I walk I the compartment and sit opposite the twins. 'we didn't meet properly I'm Fred Weasley' 'and I'm George Weasley' they both smile. 'I'm Skyler Mckinnon'

End flashback

We all three didn't know that that was the start of an amazing friendship. The twins are my partners in crime. I already stop counting how many times we had detention with the tree of u. but it was always worth it. I look at the clock and see its already 11:30 pm. Everybody will be sleeping by now. I pick up my little backpack and open my window. I climb down the drainpipe and the wind goes through my hair. I can finally do what I want.
