Cassie Smith was a 14 year old Potterhead. One day her friend, who was a witch dies and she acquires her magic core. What happens when she travels back in time to 1993 in London? Will she settle into her new life? Can she go back? Can she change the...
I woke up to cold December breeze on my face. I opened my eyes and they landed on a girl, who was looking far off into a distance; her owl flying through the cold air.
"Good Morning!" I said, as I got up from bed. Laura quickly turned around, as if scared or surprised. "Good Morning. I-I didn't mean to wake you up. Sorry." She said quickly. I looked to the watch on my bedside table and said, "Nah. It's fine. It's 9. I better get up and get going."
I dressed into something warm; a coat, a scarf and black ankle boots, that Ginny had gifted to me during my birthday this year. I was going to Hogsmede.
The Great Hall was full of hustle and bustle of students. The students were excited for the winter holidays, next week. In 2 days, that December 10th, it would be Terrance's birthday. I wanted to get him something special. The thing is, I don't have much money to spend. Maybe I should get him a-
"Hellooo? Earth to Cassie..." said Fred, as he waved his hand in front of my face. "Hm? What?" I asked, shaking my head a bit; out of the daze I was in. "You were staring at the Slytherin table for the past 10 minutes." Said George, throwing a piece of fruit into his mouth.
"I wasn't staring at the Slytherin table." I replied. "Then what's go our little Cassie thinkin' " asked Fred.
I put down the orange I was peeling and said, " a. I'm not liitle. B. I think I can figure it out."
"Whatever you say." Said the twins.
"Hey there love." Said Terrance, giving a kiss on top of my head.
"Hey." I said, kind of unenthusiastically.
"What happened?" he asked. "Nothing! Why is everyone asking me that?" I asked.
"Do you want to go to Hogsmede together?" he asked. "I'm sorry Terrance. I don't want to. I mean, I don't want to go to Hogsmede." I said.
"Ok. Then fine. Do you want something from there then?"
"Nothing. Thank you." I said. He gave me a quick kiss and walked to the Ravenclaw table, just as Umbridge arrived.
"Ok. Now there surely is something wrong" said Fred. "Come on. Spill the beans" said George.
"Ok. The thing is, Terrance's birthday is on 10th; 2 days, excluding today. I want to get him something special. Like he did for me on my birthday." I said.
"You're good at gifting. Get him something you like." Said Fred.
"The problem is, I don't have enough money." I said.
"How much do you have?" asked George.
"15 galleons" I said.
"Well you could get someth-" started George. But I interrupted him. "Make that 5 galleons short. That is, 10 galleons. I lost a bet with Neville during Herbology."
"Come on then. Let's see what we can get." Said Fred, as both George and he pulled me up and walked with me towards Hogsmede.
------- "Wait! There's Terrance and his friends. I can't be seen. He'll fee hurt that I did not go with him." I said as I hid behind Fred. "There's a secret passageway to an old book shop." Said George as he pointed to a space between two shops.
"How did you guys even find all this?" I asked, as we walked through the alleyway. "I can't believe you're asking that to the best pranksters in Hogwarts." The twins said in unison. We arrived at the book store, and I started looking through books. But neither were any of them available for 10 galleons (except a coloring book for kids) nor was the owner budging from the original price.
So decided to go out and get something else. "Got anything?" asked George. I shook my head. "Ooh! What if I check that shop?" I asked, pointing to shop that stood opposite to the bookstore. "Sure-" said Fred. "-we'll be at the Three Broomsticks. Ya?" said George.
I nodded and went into the shop. It looked old and a bit dark. It was a jewelry store. Terrance did not wear any jewelry, but maybe I could find something?
I looked through the racks of stuff. When a ring caught my eye. It was a simple silver ring, with the word Aeternum carved on to it. He wore a ring once, during the Yule Ball. The price tag told me, that it was only 10 galleons. All the money I had; yet a beautiful gift. I decided to buy it. I went to the counter and said, "Hello sir. I would like to buy this." I put the 10 galleons on the table. "Great choice." He said, and put it in a small wooden box. "Sorry. But, do you know what the carving on the ring says?" I asked, as he handed me the box.
"Aeternum means forever. A deep word with many perspectives in my opinion. It can mean forever love or forever hatred. Forever could mean till death or after. It could even mean a few years. Aah.. How I miss all of those I loved." The old shopkeeper said; staring of into distance, as if reminiscing his past.
"Thank you sir" I said, and walked out the shop; the small wooden box tucked inside the pocket of my coat. I went inside the Three Broomsticks. The number of students was less, and I easily spotted the two redheads I was looking for.
"Got something?" asked the twins. "Yes." I replied. "What did you get?" asked George. "A ring. That was the only thing that caught my eye. It even has the word forever carved on it in Latin." I said with a shrug. "And you called me cheesy. " Said Fred. "Come one. That pickup line was not that great. The girl would have just laughed at your face." I said.
"It was good. I'm a prankster. I'm supposed to be funny." He said.
"Ya sure. You're pick up line was: Hey do you have a raisin? No? Well how about a date?" I replied. I then decided to leave. I was going out the door, when someone entered. We were both in each other's way, but we were moving to the same side. "You left. I right." She finally said, and we moved. We both gave a short laugh and went on our way.
My cheeks heated up a bit. Well.... That was kinda awkward.
As I was walking back to the castle, someone came from behind and hugged me. I got startled at first, but then melted into the familiar touch. "Hey there. Decided to come finally then?" asked Terrance. "Ya. Needed some fresh air." I said.
We intertwined our hands and walked to the castle. Slightly swinging it, as the cold December breeze blew slowly through the trees.
And as we walked I had one thought. How do I make and awesome birthday for Terrance.
One to show him that I love and care from him. Just like he does to me?
