Chapter 2
I walk towards the door of the living room and open it. Greyback is lounging on the sofa as usual. I walk towards him and stop right in front of him.
I cough and finally he looks up.
'What d'you want?' He asks with a grumpy, raspy voice.
'I was wondering...' I trailed of and sit on the chair next to the sofa.
'Am I finally allowed to go to Hogwarts? I think I'm old enough.' I say with a calm voice, but with a threatening edge.
He looks at me with his dark eyes and barks a laugh.
'It doesn't matter if you ask that every year, it's still gonna be a no. That's your mother's order.'
'But she hadn't even said ANYTHING about Hogwarts, you told me.' I complain, feeling my anger boil.
He stops with laughing and speaks to me like I'm a naughty, little child.
'You're right, but that doesn't mean you CAN go. If she wished you to attend Hogwarts, she would have told me.' He spits, saying 'Hogwarts' like it's a ugly word.
I hiss and have to remind myself to not get to angry. Cause then my eyes will turn red. I grab my wand tighter and I can feel Piper move around my neck: she feels that I'm getting angry.
'If you would just use your brain, just once, you would listen to me and let me go.' I say angrilly. He growls, kinda, and sits up straight.
'You, missy, need to listen to me. When I say you can't do something, it's end of discussion. Your mother gave you to me and thus obey.'
'You filthy motherfucker.' I cuss angrilly. He flares his nose, stands up and quickly grabs my throat, hard. I give him an evil laugh and say:
'Dare. Dare it, you coward. You know what will happen when you hurt me. My mother will come after you. And yeah, she's gonna come back. I know that for sure.'
He glares at me for a moment en then releases his hand. He growls something and then goes back to his beloved sofa. I chuckle and head upstairs. When I get upstairs, I open my door and shut it behind me.
'Oh, I'm so gonna leave tonight.' I whisper to Piper.
'How are you going to attend Hogwarts then? You need parental permission.' She says back.
'And if I just go to Hogwarts and tell I ran away from 'home'. Surely they wouldn't send me back and just let me stay.'
Piper nods in agreement. It's time to pack my stuff. I grab my enchanted little bag: I can put almost everything, non-alive, in it. I open my closetdoor and put everything in the bag. Then I pull all my drawings from my wall and put it in the bag too. I have many schoolbooks and ofcourse I need them too. Mmmh.. What else? I can't grab food, because that's downstairs. O, right: toothbrush and all those things. And shoes, ofcourse! I have like 6 pairs: boots and sneakers(even though I don't wear them). Then I head to my desk and grab my pencils and drawingbook. That was everything, I think. At last I put my Wizarding World Map in my coat, won't want to be lost. Mmh.. Hogwarts is not so far from here. Maybe like 3 hours walking and then go for a taxi? I put the bag around my shoulder, carefull not to hit Piper, and open my window. Bye, room. I grab my wand tight and climb out of the window. It's a piece of cake: I've done this so many times before. When I hit the ground, I begin to run (with soft steps, ofcourse). This gives me such a thrill.

After about 3 hours of walking we get to a small village. Too bad I can't apparate. But ha! I was right! When I get closer I spot a taxi. I move fast to it and open the door.
'Hogwarts.' I bite on my tongue just before 'please, Sir' slipped from it. Come on, Prue, remember how you must act. Think harsh, think evil without manners.
The man hufs and says:
'That's 5 galleon.' I hand him the money I found in my coat, thank God, and then we move to Hogwarts. On the ride I think about a lot of things. What's Hogwarts like? Is it really 'magic' just as it says in the books? And what about Dumbledore? I've heard he's the most powerfull wizard ever, ahem: apart from my fahter. People also say he's the best at Leggimence. Can he read my mind? I hope he can't. I'm powerfull too and I've learned myself how to block my thought, build walls around them. I'm good at it, hope so. I sigh and practise my shielding while I pet Piper.

After an hour I spot the enormous castle that is Hogwarts. Wow.. I knew it was big, but not this big. I put my hands on the window and admire the view. The 'taxi' stops for the big gate.
'Here it is.' I nod at the man and get out. It's around 5 PM now. I suddenly realise what date it is today. It's 20 August. Three weeks untill the new schoolyear starts. My eyes got as big as sausages and I can slap myself now. Damn it! Nobody is here! It's holiday!
'FUCK!' I shout. I slap myself across my face. How come I didn't even know that? Fuck, I'm so stupid. I bet nobody is here. I turn around and that man has driven away. I let out a frustrated sigh and gently hold Piper in my hand. Just as I was about to talk to her, I saw a light burn in a room of the castle. Someone IS at school. But how do I get in? There isn't like a door here and I can't just scream like an idiot. Patronus? No, idiot, if that person is Dumbledore he'll know that I'm the heir of Slytherin. You see, my Patronus is a snake and only people who are related can have that. Think, think, Prue. And suddenly the big door of Hogwarts opens and a shadow of someone is walking towards the big gate. Thank God, now I don't have to shout like an idiot.
There is not much light here but if I see it right, it's a old man. But not Dumbledore.
'Hey! What are you doing here? Don't you know it's holiday? I swear if you've come here to mess-' He says with a nasty voice, but I cut him off.
'No. I'm not a student. But I want to be. Now, bring me to the headmaster.' I say coldy. Keep your act, Prue. This is really hard, you know. I'm nothing like this. My true me is sensitive, sweet and caring. I learned how to keep a mean, cold facade from Draco: the master of fake attitude. The first times were a complete disaster. Everytime I said something mean or just look mean at someone, I said sorry and felt really bad. But now I got it under control. I don't like it, but I have to for my parents. Can't give them a bad reputation. I want to make them proud, for when they come back. And oh, they will, I know that for sure.
He mumbles something with the words 'no manners' and 'children these days' and then makes a follow-movement with his hand. I put Piper back around my neck, she's sleepy, and follow the grumpy man. We walk through many corridors and ,wow, they are massive. I love pretty buildings. Then we take the stairs and they move! Gladly I'm not so easy to scare or else it would be embarassing. We walk through yet another corridor, untill that man stops in front of a slightly bigger door and knocks.
'Come in.' A soft, nice voice of a man says. He opens the door and we go in.
(A/N: I can't begin with the next chapter untill Thursday. Because I have my first exam Wednesday, oh help! D:)
