The Black Gem

chapter 2

The day came sooner than I had wished for. The anxiety that was currently brewing in my stomach made me want the cough up bile, desperately pleading for it to make me feel a hint better. Surely anything could be better than this. Right? I've never done this without her and I wasn't ready for it. It had hit me like the bus would hit the birds and the lightning that would inevitable strike the trees down. Quick and unexpected. The birds never expected it, and nor did I. 

Making my way out of the once joy filled manor, I turned around relishing the last few moments I would be here for a while. My mother and I had lived here during my childhood, it contained many of the happiest memories I had with her but I had to let go of that sadness and part of me. I had to move on, I couldn't be like this anymore. I had decided to go to Hogwarts to finally face who I truly am - I mean I cant run away from England forever can I? Savoring everything about my home, I finally got into a taxi that took me to the station. 

I had only just looked at the ticket when I realised it said 'Platform 9 3/4'

What the hell does that even mean? I mean like there is only platform 9 and 10. No in-between. Suddenly I heard a family laughing along the platforms making their way to the middle of 9 and 10. As they got closer I realised who it was. It hit me once again. It was the Potter, Black and Lupin family. I immediately tried to look at where they were going- I mean surely they're making their way to platform 9 3/4. As I got closer I saw a boy ad girl my age looking at me oddly. I rolled my eyes, of course it was the famous Black twins, I wonder how they really were. 

I made my way near the Platform's middle area after I saw the Potters and Adult Blacks head in. It was just them and I. They had the life I had always wanted, they had my father, they had everything that could've been mine. I was jealous, but I was never going to act on it. It wasn't their fault, it was Sirius's. Mother was always peaceful and I tried to also be the best version of myself. So no I would not be mean instead I would be neutral- I mean i'm still a hint salty like I'm not going to be all happy dandy just yet.

I looked into their eyes for I minute sizing them up, they did the same for me. This was something most people with 'money' aka the sacred 28 were born to do. It was basically looking at the person to see if they would back down or stare you down. If they were stupid or intelligent. If they were an ally or threat. Seeing as all of us were quite similar, we backed down together immediately causing us to grin simultaneously. 

"Luna"

"Lynx"

"Vega"

Luna then said, "ok we should get on the train soon, see you there?"

"Yeah"    Soon I was standing there all alone. Well its a new day so hopefully it won't be too terrible this year, I mean at least I'll fit in more.
