I still remember the day I moved next door to Lorenzo Berkshire so clearly, I was 10 years old and we had just moved from Australia to London for my dads job at the Ministry of Magic. I was furious I was at peak popularity in my ballet class and then they decide to move half way across the world. Like did they even understand how cool I was? I was lead Ballerina.

Anyways I was helping carry boxes in from the muggle moving truck my parents had hired to make our move more authentic then magic, and I didn't even realise I had dropped my stuffed bear. It was only when I heard a small voice did I turn around.

"scuse me, essscuseee me" called a little posh voice, there behind me stood a little boy with brown fluffy hair and in his hand was my teddy. "You dropped this".

I smiled making his little cheeks blush pink in the winter air. I put the box down and walked over to him, "Ted!" I said "How many times have I told you dont go on adventures without me, Im sorry" I look him in the eyes "Sometimes he escapes thanks for finding him".

He smiles shyly "Its ok.... I'm... I'm Lorenzo" his hand flys out to shake mine, "My dad said when you introduce yourself one must always shake hands".

I grabbed his gloved hand with my own and shook it, " I'm Y/N".

He smiled again and grabbed the box I put down, "Here I'll help you".

That afternoon Lorenzo helped out more then I proberly did, bringing in boxes and even helping my mother refold the linen. His parents came over to introduce themselves and basically from that day me and Enzo became the best of friends.

Age 12:

"Are you excited to start school Enzo?" I ask as I slip my black leather sandal on. Today was our first day at Firegrove School for the Gifted. Now to muggles it seemed a ordinary school but to witches and wizards it was the fundamental learning years for a young child.

"Yeah, I cant wait to get to use my wand, I'm gonna make things float" he wiggled excitedly on his chair waiting for me to put on my second shoe.

"I know its gonna be so cool" suddenly a bus horn honks from out the front, "Mum the bus is here we gotta go" I call down the hall.

"Wait. Wait. Wait" Her voice yells getting louder and louder as she approaches. "I need a photo of you two little Magic monkeys". She pulls out her phone as he stand together and smile. Suddenly the bus beeps again.

"Bye Mummy" I give her a kiss on the cheek and run out the door after Enzo.

Age 14:

"Miss Fluerngnf" I mumble through a mouthful of icecream, "Is such a rat, I can't believe she split us up for the assignment, like she crazy hey Enz?" I look over at him to see him distantly staring out of the icecream palor window. "Enz...Enzo..Lorenzo Berkshire!" I yell whacking his arm "Are you even listening to me?"

He suddenly jumps and faces me a look of confusion hits his face, "What? I'm sorry I wasn't listening".

"ahaha yeah I can tell whats on your mind?"

"Nothing, nothing" he looks down at his phone as the time flashes across the screen, "Oh crap I gotta go, I'm sorry Y/N".

"What do you mean you gotta go?" I question, "Its icecream sunday".

"I know but my mum as people coming around she needs me to meet, she'll kill me if I'm late" He quickly grabs his coat and jumps up.

I quickly follow after him not wanting to walk home by myself later. Before I'm even out of my seat hes already out the front door.
