Chapter 2: I'm Leaving.
I'm on my way home now. I got in around 5pm after the man had disappeared. I walked in through the door and a voice met my ears "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" yelled mum"I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK!"
"I was with Nikki on my birthday, like I always do." I say sadly.
"YOU WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS HER! YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SLUT." She yelled and slapped me. I remembered the things that happened with lockhart. I tried to act as if i didn't care.
"Fine. I'm going then. I'll just go." I say
"DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE!"She said
"WATCH ME!" I yell and walk up to my room. I change quickly and tuck the necklace under my jumper. I placed my now full trunk into my expanded feather-light bag. I place a few pictures i had of me and Nikki and one drawing she had done for me and placed them in the protective bit. I then run down the stairs and go to the front door and find my path blocked.
"Come back, next summer please? I don't think she would be able to take it if you left forever." said dad and i nod.
"she isnt forgiven but i will come back for your sake only." I say and walk out of the front door into the hot evening air. I walk to the end of the road before deciding to go to The Leaky Cauldron. I hold out my wand arm again this summer and the knight bus came into view, Stan steps out and just nods. I hand over 11 sickles and get on the bus. Beds now littered the floors of the triple decker bus. I sit down and say "Leaky Cauldron please." and stan hurries away as the bus gave a lurch and arrived in a place called Stockport and then eventually we got to the Leaky Cauldron at 8PM. I was tired and Stan helped me up. "Thanks." I say and pick up my rucksack. I watch as the knight bus leaves again and walk into the leaky cauldron. "Hey, Tom. Can I have a room for the rest of summer?" I say
"Yes, That's 10 galleons." He says and i reach into my bag and pull out my money sack that has exactly 10 galleons in. I sigh and hand over the money, I will have to change the muggle money again. I am shown to a large room that shakes as a train comes past. "Miss?" Says a voice
"Yeah?" I say and look up
"Are you Olivia Alcove?" She says
"I am."
"This came with an Owl about 2 minutes ago." she said holding up a letter and two parcels.
"Thanks." I say taking them from her and she leaves the room. I open the letter to see Holly's Handwriting.
Hey Olivia!
I hope you are having a totally Fantabbytastic Birthday so far! I also want to thank you again for Saving me last year and all that jazz. Here's your Birthday Prezzie from me :) I Hope you like it!
Love your Crazy BFF
Holly xox
I Smile at her letter and open the package. It holds a Calm Down t-shirt and a pair of black heels with a skull on.
I Open the second package and a little note fluttered out. It said
I Did Promise Liv - Adam x
I smile as I see a hoodie which is black and says I am only happy when it rains and He got me a case for a phone i was going to buy. a note was taped inside. It read:
This has been charmed so that the phone can be used inside Hogwarts :) my mum kinda thinks you are a nice person so she did the charm for me.
Love Adam x
I look happily at it, he knew about my homesickness in first year. I fall asleep thinking about him.
(Presents)
-Next Day-
I woke up the next day and showered quickly. I had run out of my Rose and Lavender stuff which was good because I didn't need more of a reminder of last year. I used a bit of the vanilla stuff that was in the room and got out of the shower. I calmed down a little from last night and my hair was back to its usual brown. I got changed and went down into Diagon Alley (again). I went into gringotts and changed the remaining muggle money into galleons, I then went into the Owl Emporium to buy myself an owl. I fell in love with the sweetest little barn owl and bought her for 8 Galleons because no one wanted him.I decided to call her Venustas which is latin for Beauty. I then bought all the books i needed for next year second hand and They looked okay. It cost me about 5 galleons for my books and had 3 galleons to spare. I still had my quills from last year because I didn't let Draco come anywhere near me this year. I went into the little toiletries shop and bought some Vanilla Body wash and Strawberry shampoo. I then went back to the leaky cauldron and wrote home to my father.
Dad,
Just so you know i made it to the leaky cauldron yesterday and I have already got all my books. This is my new Owl Isn't he the cutest. Her name is Venustas which means Beauty. Hope you are okay Oh this is how Wizards get mail!
Love
Olivia x
i smiled at the letter and gave it to my tiny owl. "Take this to 9 magnolia cresent, and give it to this man." I say and hold up a picture of my adoptive father. Venustas hooted in understanding and flew through the open window taking off into the night. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow in my pyjamas and slept until the next day.
-3rd August-
It's been a while since I left home. My dad sent me something the next day with Venustas. It was an iPhone 4. I was really happy when it arrived. He had a note attached. it read:
Olivia,
I am glad you got to Diagon Alley Okay, Venustas is a very pretty bird and I forgot to give you your own Phone for your birthday. I hope you like your presents and Know that I Love You.
Love
Dad. Aka Sam
I had smiled at that moment and placed it into the case. Today I saw The Minister Of Magic for the first time, he was a man called Cornelius Fudge. He seemed relieved that i was here already. "Ms Alcove, thank goodness. There's a killer on the loose you know and you need to promise me to stick to Diagon Alley." He said surveying me so that i back away
"S..S..Sure." I stutter and run up to my room and lock the door. I change into pajamas and fall asleep.
-End of the holidays-
Its the end of the holidays and I hear a recognised voice out side my door. "Ron, Hermione wants you." She said
"GINNY!" I yell and run out of the room. My friend gave me a hug and i said "When did you get here?"
"Last week." she said grinning. "I was wearing this.
"Who's Hermione?" I ask wondering cuz Hagrid mentioned her last year in the leaving feast.
"Ron and Harry's best friend. Do you want to meet her?" she asked
"yeah, sure." I say and follow Ginny to a room down the hall.
"Hermione this is Olivia. She killed that snake thingy last year. Olivia this is Hermione." says Ginny gesturing to a bushy haired girl with rather large front teeth.
"Hey Im Olivia Alcove." I say and her eyes widen.
"The One that Got away..." she whispered
"What?" I say.
"Oh Nothing, Im Hermione Jean Granger." She says and smiles holding out her hand. I shake and say,
"Pleasure. Listen Ginny, Im going to Hogwarts early tomorrow. Dumbledore wrote to me over the holidays, he has to speak to me about something but I dunno what." I say facing both girls.
"When do you leave?" says Ginny
" 7AM tomorrow via floo Powder." I say sadly. I'd have to wait ages for my little friend to get there let alone Holly and Adam. I wrote to them explaining how I would not be on the Hogwarts express tomorrow. Their replies were short but said that they would see me here then. I Leave Ginny And Hermione a little later as we have to go to bed so that I can get up early enough to leave for Hogwarts. I think I found a new friend.
