The Lost Heir of Slytherin

Strange dudes

  I was running to the " secret base" when I tripped on an unusually large stick. "shoot!" I screamed. "D stop saying bad language words. Aunt Ash hates it!" There it is my older cousin saying stuff that a 10 year old would. "Aria can you please call me my real name." I hate when people shorten my name. If you try to shorten December it sounds horrid. " She grunted " fine." I looked at her weirdly. "also did you try to quote the avengers?"  Before she could answer she darted to the secret base. 

"Aria, slow down!"  Aria was a year older than me.  December will be 15 at the beginning of the book :). though she acted like she was only 10. "Come on we are almost to the secret base."  we were almost to the "base" when my little brother Simon came out in front of us. "Surrender fricken losers!" My brother thought the F word was frickin, so he used it way too often to annoy me and my family. "Ugh! we lost again! D why can't you help our team! You stare into space!"

 I want to tell her let it go, it's only a stupid game, but then a figure catches my eye. I whipped my head the way I saw that wisp of black. I looked around to see if I was right. Only a cat was standing in the clear path. I must be going insane I have seen this cat many times. And people wonder why I hate cats. I'm guessing they don't have some scary cat stare at them for their whole lives."Um, D you ok?" I wanted to be able to fully say "yes I am fine" but I know that lying is better than being thought of as crazy. "yeah thought I saw Macy" Macy was my neighbor. 

I was mentally exhausted I just want to go inside and think about why I keep seeing this cat, but of course God hates me. I saw the mail man come and deliver mail to our mailbox. "Aria I have to put the mail inside." She looked very disappointed. Then I remembered she is older than me. Wow, she looks and acts younger. "Fine, but are you coming back out right?" She gave me those puppy eyes. Ugh she looked really ugly doing that, but no one has the heart to tell her that. I sighed "Ugh ok fine." she was jumping up and down now. Now mail time.

The mail box wasn't that far up the road from where we were. I just had to cross the road. I walked up to the front yard to cross the road. Then there it was that creepy cat looking at me. "leave me alone you stupid cat!" I whispered that I imagined my family thinking I was talking to a cat. The cat looked offended. It ran down the road to the pond right down my road. Now it's  mail time.

I crossed the road and finally got to the mail box. I opened it up to see what the mail man was . It was a package. Then my brother grabbed the package and ran to my mom. "Simon be careful-" But my scream was countered by his loud scream. "MOM! I GOT MY PACKAGE!!!!" Wow was he over dramatic my mom only got his a few more pants for the fall.

 I was about to head back to play with Aria, but I saw two figures in the distance. One was old and with a long beard, one had dark greasy hair, and ugh the cat was with them. I guess they saw me looking at them because they all saw me and disappeared into a cloud of wispy black smoke. "D! Come on slowpoke!" I started that spot where they disappeared for a few more seconds. "D!" I snapped out of that trance and went to join her. I was imagining things right? Nothing else would happen. My name is December Allen and my life is normal, right?
