Hogwarts Fanfiction: The Beginning

CHAPTER TEN

Lilian woke up early, reluctant to start the day. She threw on her Hogwarts uniform, that was a hand- down from her mum. She also had an old wand, cauldron, textbooks, and more.

She went outside her shack to pick some berries from outside to eat. There were lots of berries, so it wasn't hard for her to find some. Lilian grabbed a small bunch from each little shrub. She took them into her shack and pickily sorted them into poisonous and non-poisonous piles. While she ate her wild berries, she kept away the poisonous ones in a little glass jar, one of the many beakers that she stored in the shack. You never know when you have an enemy needing to be poisoned, Lilian thought. She'd already packed most of the beakers into her storage trunk. She popped the cork lid onto the poisonous berry jar and put it in her pocket. Sabine, Lilian's deceased ghost cat, curled in her lap and whined for the leftover berries.

Lilian took out another beaker that had an unlimited smoky substance inside and dipped the berries for Sabine into the strange smoke. The berries became transparent. Lilian smiled. She knew some of the secrets to magic. The substance in her jar was labeled Ghost Substance in Lilian's mediocre handwriting. At least, Lilian thought that it was below average.

"Bon appetit, Sabine," Lilian said, and placed the transparent berries one by one into Sabine's little black mouth.

As she loaded her suitcase onto the horse, she stuffed some more berries into her mouth. She got onto the horse, pulled her black and black hood up, and was on her way to King's Cross. Sabine followed after her.
