(there's a rumor that says you might be kidnapped by aliens if you don't play the music while reading :o)

A little girl was running in a forest, running after everything that fleed from her, insects, frogs, trying to catch the butterflies that flew beside her, the sun caressed her pale skin while she was having fun running around, she didn't care if she was weird, or if poeple were looking, it was those rare where she could actually be herself, where she was free.

Each step she took, left dirt on her naked feet, and made gave her more energy, running even faster each seconds, before she could do anything, the little girl's tripped on a branch that was stuck in the ground.

She fell violently, the impact made her shout and cry because of the pain, her hands were bruised, her knees were bloody and her foot was bleeding a lot from the branch she tripped over.

The little girl screamed out for help pathetically, holding her bloody foot, even though it hurts her, the blood that flowed quickly from her foot came into contact with the dirt, as her eyes overflowed with tears and after a few seconds, she hears someone from afar.

"Great Merlin!"

Then quick footsteps.

"Are you alright?"  The person asks.

The little girl couldn't see the person properly because of the sun that blinded her, and with all the salty tears in her eyes, but she deduces that it was a girl around the same age as her.

"Sebastian! Come here!!"  She shouts from afar.

The Sebastian in question came up beside the the unknown girl. They started talking, but she was too focused on her pain, and her sobs made it difficult to hear correctly. The two strangers helped the bruised girl stand up, they both stand next to her, standing on either side of her, taking her arms and putting them around their shoulders to help her walk to a little and lovely house, in as small village .

"You'll be alright."

She couldn't really guess who was talking to her, as they enter the house, she saw another person, tall this time, an adult immediately saw her and helped her sitting on a chair. As she sits down she saw that her blood really stained the wooden floor.
The little girl kept repeating "sorry", over and over again, sobbing and tugging on her blue robe.

But they still took care of her, there's no way they woule have ignored the bruised and bleeding girl, alone in the forest, they healed and bandaged her.

And that's when and how the three kids became friends.

"I'm Anne, and this Sebastian!"

Since that day, they went in the forest to play everyday and to get to know each other more.

"Be careful to not fall again!"

They were all became best friends quickly, there weren't any secrets from them anymore.

"Wait? You're really a squib?!"

They became little troublemakers of the small town; Feldcroft. Everyone called them the "little rascals", they were always up to no good when they were together.

"Quick! Run!!"

 It made the young girl feel so happy, that all those years was spent with her favorite persons in the whole world and that the three of them grew together.

"Let's play pirates again!"

But when they all turned eleven, the siblings and her had no other choices than to part ways, they told her that they got accepted in Hogwarts and that they wouldn't see her everyday like before, and she told them that she was going to move out in Cragcroft.

"No..! We all promised to stick to each other until the end!!"

The rascals were really sad, and promised to send letters every week. And that promise was kept well, but with time, they sent and received less letter every month.

"We're slowly drifting away.."

 The young girl couldn't help but feel sad and nostalgic, everytime she remembers all the moments they've spend together, she thought they would never meet again, or that she's never going to have such a deep conexion with anyone like she had with the siblings.

"Do you think she remembers us?"

The young girl's family tried everything to help her magic's show up, but with no avail. They simply gave up the idea she would be a wonderful witch, but just a squib.

"Am I... A failure..?"

But her mother, wanted her to build her future in Hogwarts, and she had more than one trick in her sleeve..

"I'll always be there for you Y/n.."

"Mother...?"
