My hair was flying in the wind, my best friend Noah beside me. We were two carefree fourteen year olds, living the california dream on the last week of summer.

"Try and keep up!" I called to Noah as I peddled my bicycle faster

"Eat my dust!" He yelled back, and sped past me

I laughed and tried speeding up. We were racing down a street in the suburbs, as American teenagers do.

A patch of rocks came up, so I sped up and turned sharp. As I was rounding the corner, my bike flew out of control and I went sliding down the road, inevitably resulting in roadrash.

"Damnit!"

Noah turned around "Again? That's the fourth time this week, and it's literally only Wednesday!"

I rolled my eyes "shut up and help me"

He laughed and stuck his hand out to help me up. I took it, and he held it just a second too long.

My knee was gushing blood. I checked my watch 8:48 pm. Shit! I had to be home by 9!

"Hey Noah I've gotta go. I have 12 minutes to get home, and counting. Jenny's gonna kill me if i'm not home by curfew."

He smiled "See you tomorrow, Chipmunk."

"I'm never gonna live that down, huh?"

"Nope"

Shaking my head, I turned and biked home.

As soon as I got there, I opened the door and yelled "Jenny, I'm home!"

Said woman walked into the kitchen and smiled "Hello Hensley. You were almost late." She motioned to the clock on the stove. It read "8:59"

"But not quite late!"

"But almost." A voice said from behind me

"Oh quiet Adam."

Adam and Jenny are the family I live with. I've lived with them since I was seven. They were my mom and dads friends. The Dursley's couldn't handle two kids, and they found I was more vocal about my and my brothers mistreatment. So as a result, I was sent away to America to live the dream, while harry was stuck in England, seeing as the Dursley's insisted they kept Harry to cook and clean for them.

When I was eleven, I was introduced to the magical world. I received a letter from Illvenmorny. To my delight, and surprise, Noah received one also. I've been his friend since we were eight. We've gone school shopping together every year, we ride the plane to Boston every year, and we sit together on the train every year. We're both in the Wampus house, the house of Warriors. Not long after I received an Illvenmorny letter, I also got a Hogwarts letter. Harry sent me a letter, weirdly enough, with an owl, saying he got a letter and that he would be going to magic school. I immediately wrote him back saying I would be as well, but to Illvenmorny. He was upset, but was also happy for me.

"Dinner is just about ready. Can you set the table?" Jenny asked kindly

"Of course!" I grabbed three plates, Two big forks, a little fork, and three knives. Then I set three spots at the table, and sat down at the spot with the little fork.

Adam came into the dining room and sat on one side of me at the circle table, and Jenny brought the food in and sat on the other side of me.

For dinner, there was steak.

Which, ironically, is the dinner we have when they need to talk to me about something serious.
