Always There For You (Harry Potter OC X OC)

13. Ice Cream-

Right after she picked up Lizzy from school, Amber went straight upstairs and shut herself in the home office. As she sat down on a wheeled chair, her fingers hit the pc button. The screen took ten minutes to load.

Meanwhile, Lizzy boredly opened the fridge in the kitchen. There was nothing great, nothing; no greeneries, beef, or fruits. And she only found a day overdue milk and a couple of eggs.

She took the only pan that was clean and unstacked in the sink. The pan placed on the stove and the blue fire heat it up underneath. Eggs cracked and the last stream of milk poured in. She mixed them all lightly with a spoon, until it started simmering.

The sizzling was the only sound she could hear. She had never felt so lonely being in this house. By this hour, she used to go to the Lisbon's: watching tv and eating their snacks.

And school? There was nothing special without the old gang... if only she could hear Joel, Bobby, and Cole's bicker, the mood would make the day bearable.

Joel's mum should be at the house next door, she thought. But seeing her wouldn't be the same by being smothered like a little child. Alone was far better than that, she was sure.

As she stirred the scrambled eggs, she heard a taps on the window. Her eyes darted to the source and saw an owl flying! It was trying to get inside.!

That must be a magical owl from Hogwarts! She scrammed over, almost forgetting the stove as her had reached the back door knob. The owl was expecting her determinedly, but she had to turn off the stove. Once it was done, the back door swung open, and the owl swooped in, hooting. It landed on one of the two highchairs.

'Hello!' Lizzy greeted in awe. She got the letter off from it's beak. The owl stayed in place and watched expectantly with brooding chest.

'You don't fly away?' she askes.

The owl shook it's head, making Lizzy giggle to know an owl had understood her words. She looked at the letter. Her name was on the envelop. She ripped the seal and pulled out the letter to read.

Dear Lizzy,

I know, it's been weeks since I left King's Cross Station. You might wonder what I'm doing now, are you?

Don't worry, I'm great! Perfect, actually! I've never felt so alive! Being a wizard is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I learn new things that you don't get as a muggle. I met new "interesting" friends here.

This school has a lot of activities to keep me occupied. I can join clubs and games here. There's never a dull moment! A Popular game in here is called gobstone. It's like marble, but I think it is actually marble.

My favorite subject so far are... charms and...defense... who am I kidding! All of them! Except arithmancy. It's just regular maths.

Lizzy! This school is in a castle! You'll love every second here! The beds keep you warm at night, it's fantastic!

There is quidditch. It's a sport. Like football. But you ride a flying broom, can you believe it? I can't believe it myself and I've been taking flying lessons. I really want to get into the team. They open tryouts next year. 2nd year! I'm allowed to try! I hope I can get in, and you can watch the tryout! I'm interested in quidditch. But I only notice it after this famous Harry Potter joins in. He's a 1st year like me! My mates told me 1st years aren't allowed to sign up... but I guess it's Harry Potter. He's like a hero to most wizards and witches... but he looks like an average boy to me. I don't know why people, including the teachers, look at him in high admiration. It's weird.
