Suspicious day

The next week passed without any major adventures. Slowly I started to get used to the new way of life, I got to know my friends, the teachers and their requirements a little bit more, I don't have to go around school with a map anymore ...
Ofcourse its not perfect. Whenever I meet Seline, she makes fun of me for absolutely no reason. I give my word that someday I will not stand and hurt her. It's good that Anthony always distracts me from my anger outbursts.
I can even admit that I have fallen into a routine.
In the morning, I get up before 8 and after getting dressed, I go to breakfast, then I come back for my books and go to classes. After school, I go to dinner and do my homework with my friends, in the evenings I often go to a game, go to a bar or wander around the castle, discovering its secrets.
Everything seems to have settled down.

Today I have a day off and I'm going to see my parents, they wrote to me in a letter that they have many duties but they have to talk to me urgently.
I wonder what might be going on. I also made an appointment to Hogsmeade with Gabriella, despite the fact that she is from Gryfindor, she is a really great person, come on sometimes mysterious ... I still do not know why she is afraid of the full moon, but I do not want to tire her with questions about it because you can see that she does not want to talk about it. After getting dressed, I went to breakfast. There weren't many people because some of them went home or went out to meet friends. Of my friends, there was only Cedric who is training for Quidditch today. Martha went to visit her cousin and Anthony was taken home by his parents.I sat next to Cedric, who was finishing eating and getting ready to warm up.He asked me if I want to join him today, I was sorry to say no. I saw that he was a bit disappointed, but I couldn't help it. I promised him that I would bring him something sweet from Hogsmeade but he said he's on a diet and can't eat junk stuff like that.
-I can't allow you to look better than me, you will start taking girls away from me and I can't let that happen.
He laughed and stuck his tongue out at me and left.
I ate some cinamon toast, drank some pumpkim juice and went to get ready to leave.I was excited and wanted to tell my parents what happened in the new school in a week and I will be at Hogsmeade for the first time. From what Gabriella said, there are really a lot of things there. I have the impression that I will spend a lot of money today.
I agreed to meet with my parents before school and we are to fly home on the broomsticks. I haven't moved too much in a long time, so a longer flight will do me good. I feel my condition is going down, I have to fix it somehow. Next week I will have team tests. Hope to get it.As I walked through the castle to the exit, I started to wonder where Gabriella was. I hadn't seen her at breakfast. Probably studying or doing something else, I told myself. After a few minutes I saw my parents waiting for me. Happily, I hurried my step. I saw them looking tired and worried. Immediately my face fell, when my parents noticed that, they forced a smile on their faces.
Wasting no time, we got on the brooms and returned home. I heard a squeak behind me, and I turned to see Freye following me. My parents were silent all the way, I already felt that something had happened. Maybe they heard a bad opinion about me from school or maybe the headmaster was not happy with me and informed them?
I'd better not think about it, I'll probably find out what's going on in a moment.
After a while we were there. As soon as I entered, Hades started jumping on me and licking me. I missed that bastard. There was my favorite carrot cake on the table so maybe it's not as bad as I thought. Mom made everyone a cup of tea and we sat down at the table. For a moment there was an awkward silence, which I broke, asking what was going on, I couldn't wait any longer. The parents sighed, looking at each other. They didn't want to start a conversation. Finally, my mom nudged my dad and he sighed.
-Listen, honey, my mother and I have a lot of work right now. We shouldn't tell you about it, but we know you want to know what's going on.
The non-magicians learned about wizards. I never knew I would live to see these times. There are a lot of meetings with Muggles at the ministry to negotiate terms and not start a war. Unfortunately, there are already the first attacks on witches and wizards. People don't understand us and are aggressive because of that. Recently they burned a witch with two children.They caught her treating their 3 year old with witchcraft. They burned her house at night. All three of them are dead, and it's not the only attack.
Dad started to fall apart and he is always tough so I knew this is a serious situation. My parents also told me that the Ministry is not talking about it yet not to spread panic among people. Of course, they also forbid me to talk to anyone about it.I sincerely hope that we will manage to negotiate the terms and avoid a war with the Muggles. Personally I have nothing against them, I have a Muggle friend myself and he often tells me how his life is going. I just don't understand why they are so afraid of magic and want to destroy it at all costs. After a moment of silence, I asked what had caused such a commotion and the focus on magic by Muggles.
This time my mother spoke up and told me in an irritated voice that one of the witches who, as later checked, had left a psychiatric facility, killed a muggle in a crowd of people using an unforgivable spell.Of course, she couldn't give me the name. However, she assured me that the woman had been captured by Aurors and had a trial yesterday. She was sentenced to Azkaban, but what if she put our world in collapse. There is not enough punishment for her. Unfortunately, the use of the spell was documented by witnesses of the incident and was published in the newspapers, which caused a panic in the Muggles, and so it all began.
The situation became tense, the worst thing was that I could not talk to anyone about it, but I understand the ministry's decision and consider it to be the right one.
We followed the rest of the afternoon playing wizard chess and I told them about the new school. My parents were happy for me. Time has passed by quickly.
It was already 15 and I had to go to Hogsmeade where I agreed to meet Gabriella.
I took my broom and flew as quick as I could.
Then my memories from my previous school came back. After the classes, me and my group of friends often went out in broom chases. Whoever came first on the finish line could ask any question or challenge to the person who came last, and this one had to answer, otherwise he had to do 150 push-ups. I remember those times well, but there is no need to fall apart.
I have to admit that I miss them sometimes ... especially Steve Poliakow and Felipe Krum. They were my best friends, but it wasn't that easy at first, they both have very strong characters and both are very stubborn ...
With one of them I had an argument before I left school, but I hope he isn't still mad at me.
I looked around and was there, lowered my flight and jumped off the broom, and after a while I heard a voice calling me, Gabriella waiting for me there.I ran to say hello and noticed that her robe was torn. I asked her about it and she said with embarrassment that she was attacked by a pack of mad dogs while walking down the street. Sure, I don't believe her, but what can I do.
We walked around the various stores for a long time, talking and watching various things. In one of them, Gabriella bought herself a beautiful black dress. While trying on, she asked me to fasten its zipper at the back. When I came over, I saw a large wound on the back. I knew that she would not tell me what it was, so I smiled and helped with the zipper. Gabriella said if she wanted to, I could call her Gaby, nice of her. it means that she started to trust me. I just hope she's not in any trouble, be it at school or in the family and because of the scars ... I hope she will tell me the truth someday.
I had a good afternoon with her, I really did.I think I like her because she doesnt judge anyone. As the last stop we went to a candy store. So much sweets in one place that it is impossible to imagine it, of course I bought as much as I was stocking up for the winter and it is known for a long time that I am not a squirrel.
It was evening already, so we both made our way slowly to Hogwarts. When we were flying to school, we started to wonder why this sudden day off, set by the headmaster, is the middle of the week and there is no holiday today ... Of course, all the students were happy. In my head, however, I thought that it might be something related to the war with the Muggles, but of course I couldn't say anything about it.
The road from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts was short after a while we were there and said goodbye to each other and walked to our common rooms.
I don't know what to think about this wizarding war anymore. It would be horrible and I hope it won't happen with all my heart, but from what my parents say it is getting serious and soon the ministry will be reporting it. They promised to write me letters informing me of the incidents. Of course they will be written in code so that no one will intercepted this letter. I wonder if this day off had anything to do with it. Does Dumbledor know? Maybe he has some plans already? I won't get answers to these questions soon. It's been a long day. I got everything needed for tomorrow and went to bed. Unexpectedly something sat on my windowsill.
It was an owl but not Freya, I don't know who it belonged to, but after a moment of staring at me, she flew away and I went to rest.
