Dream come true?

It was late at night when I reached Hogsmeasde, about 2am in the morning. It was cold. I needed to find someplace safe to sleep. I saw this bench near a street and decided to call it a night. I walked towards it, holding the jar with my mom's ashes. I layed down, hugged the jar between my arms and my chest. "I will keep you warm through the night, mommy.." I whispered as I drifted quickly into sleep as I was very much exhausted, both physically and mentally. 

I woke up the next morning, got up and started to walk around the village. I needed a job, so I could make money for food and rent a room or something to sleep safely under a roof, I thought. As I was walking I saw this cozy restaurant like place, more lika a bar with food. I walked in and went straight to the bar counter, climbed up on one of the high chairs to sit in, placed my mom on the counter and asked to speak with the person in charge. The guy laughed quietly at me but did go to get the person in charge as asked. "Hello, there young lady. What can I help you with?" the kind man in charge of the place asked, nicely. "I'm looking for a job, I need money and I can start right this very moment. I have experience preparing food as I used to help my mom in the kitchen quite often, I can help with the dishes, suppose I can run drinks, work till late and have a good memory. So.. what do you say?" I replied briefly. The man in front looked rather shoked from my honest statement but came back to his sences and said "Nice joke, kiddo, now shoo. " he laughed and started to turn around. "I am dead serious, mister! I need a job this instant!" I said. He looked back at me and said "I have no time to waste. I need to get back to work so let's get you home if you're lost, huh?What is your name? How old are you, honey? Where are you parents, dear? " He asked. "My name is Aurora Morningstar. I am nine years old, sir and my mom.. my parents.. are dead, mister. I have no one.. no home to go back to." I replied quietly as I looked down at the floor and felt my eyes tearing up. And surely that was how I got my job.

It's been 2 years since I have began to work. Finally managed to rent a small apartment and provide for myself with food and clothes. Trust me it was hard to have someone to rent to me as I am just a kid but I had my boss at work help me rent the apartment in his name so I am paying rent to him basically.

One day after work and on my way home, I once again notice this little girl sat in a corner at the street, figured she is a beggar a month ago. Today finally I got the courage to start a conversation with her and get to know her situation. I walked up to her, dropped money in her cup as I have done every day for the past one month and then sat next to her. I offered her a hand. "Hello. My name is Aurora Morningstar and I could not help but notice that you are always alone. Wanna talk about it with me, dear?" I said and gave her a warm smile. She smiled back and took my hand as she said "My name is Alora Einar."... And with that we got to know each other, I got to know her situation and she got to know mine (well not the part that I am the daughter of an angel and the Devil himself nor the part where I killed him in my rage). I asked her to come home with me for the night and not sleep on the streets as she can't go home to her parents as they are aggresive and abusive and won't take her home until she makes a given sum of money, basically they wanted to get rid of her but I will not tell her that. She does not wish to go back to them anyway. 

A few days later after having slept in my place for a few nights, I ask her not to go back to the streets as I do not wish for her to be sat on those cold floors all day long. I offered her to stay in my home, that I would be responsible for her, will provide food and clothes for her and will start saving up to send her into a good school. I did not take no for an answer, so what I told her was more of a statement than an offer, hehe. We got really close as we began to live together and become more like sisters rather than friends as she is 7 years old, about 4 years younger than me.

After 4 more years of working, I got raise in my salary like I do each year. I finally managed to save for Alora to attend for her years of school until college. She would be year 1 in September. If I were to attend, I would be in fourth year I suppose. 

As I was walking home from work, I think I see Alora in front of a clothing shop with a few other girls. The other girls did not seem very friendly towards her though, it seems they are bullying her.. . I walk towards Alora and the group of girls. I am a bit behind Alora as she had her back facing me and when I got there I stood up in front of her, facing the mean girls. "What do we have here? Aww, big sissy coming to the rescue of poor Alora. Hahahahahah!" One of the girls said, probably the leader, and the other girls started laughing. I feel as rage takes over me at the mention of Alora and take a step forward. I grab the leader girl by the throat and tower over her as the girls are shorter than me, being younger and all. "Say that again!" I say. She squirmed in my hold in fear and then I looked at my reflection at the clothing store window to my left and did not know how to feel about what I saw. I could see that my eyes have gone all black with crimson red in the middle where usually my brown colour of my eye is. I remembered that night, the night where I lost control of my emotions and set everything on fire, including Satan, my father. What I knew for sure was that I had to calm down. I looked back at the girl that was in the hold in my hand and I released her and said "Mess with Alora again and you are done for. Now get of my sight!". And they ran. I took a few deep breaths and looked at the window to see that my eyes have gone back to normal and then turned around to face Alora. "Are you okay, dear?" I asked and she nodded and hugged me. "Has this been happening for a while?" I asked and she nodded again not being able to hold eye contact with me. "Never hesitate again to confide with me about whether who or what is bothering you. You are not alone, you have me, share your weight with me, do not carry it on your own." I said in a calming tone and leveled down to her height. I cupped her cheek in my palm and said "Now let's get home, I'll cook your favourite!". I smiled and she smiled back. We headed home.

When we got home, I noticed this beautiful owl before unlocking the door and showed it to Alora. "Hey, baby. Look at that owl up there. It is pretty beautiful, isn't?" When she saw it, she woawed in awe "Sissy, can we take it home?" she asked with those cute baby eyes. "Maybe we can adopt or buy one, one day." I answered as we go in the apartment. As I closed the door I stepped on something and looked down. I saw two letters. It was the first time we ever received letters to be honest so I was quite surprised. I picked them up. One was in the name of Alora and the other was for me. Were we in trouble?
