American Amongst the Brits (Harry Potter)

Chapter 12

Readers POV:

Today is supposed to be hard on us. Why is it supposed to be hard on us? I don't like the sound of that and the two of them have already fallen asleep, so I know I won't be getting an answer anytime soon. Come on. I can't sleep now. Not after that. I managed to pull myself out of the middle of the bed without jarring either of them then headed towards the bathroom. I took a moment to clean myself up and I started to feel the sudden sense of being called. Almost like someone was looking for me. I grabbed my wand and waved it towards my body letting a green dress hug onto my body. The dress feeling a bit tighter than I really would like. It was practically painted onto me. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that not only was the dress skintight but, now my hair was done. It was long and wavey and some flowers were scattered throughout it. This is not what I was intending to do. I was just trying to get a standard outfit on of jeans and a t-shirt. I definitely did not plan for my hair to be done either. How strange. I looked out of the bathroom and moved through the room. The sound is getting stronger. It's like they are looking for me and I can't help but, feel the urgency to get to them.

"Y/N please. I need to see you." I heard a voice say a little louder. I don't know how I feel about the voice calling me. I do not recognize it. I stepped out of the room and into the hallway leaving the two behind me. I charmed the door to be hidden once more to keep it and them safe but, I started to follow the calls that I was hearing, and it guided me to the garden that was outside.

"You listened!" I heard a woman's voice call to me.

"I am here. Where are you though?" I asked. This seems a bit crazy but, I don't know for sure. Something seems odd. Maybe I should be a bit more guarded considering I know the two were trying to protect me when they were supposed to forget me. I still don't know why they had to forget me in order to protect me. It does not make a lot of sense.

"Come look into the window of the indoor garden. I am in the reflection." I heard the female voice say. I followed her instructions and when I saw the reflection I saw someone who looked similar to me. They look strange.

"Who are you? I asked and the woman smiled at me.

"You will know in due time. You need to resist the temptations of the offer to come. Avoid the dark one's. Promise me you will avoid the dark one's." Is all the woman managed to say before I heard the glass get shattered.

"What a shame." I heard a voice say from behind me and when I turned around I saw the boy from a day or two ago. Tom I think.

"Did you mean to break the glass?" Tom said.

"No, I don't think so. I don't think I broke it. Did you?" I asked him and he shook his head no.

"You look different today. You look so beautiful. The dress is nice on you and the hair." Tom said and I felt a blush creep on my face.

"Thank you. That is sweet of you to say." I said and looked away from him.

"You know, everyone here seems the same. However, you have a different presence to you. You don't seem like everyone else. Is there something special about you?" Tom asked.

"Not that I know of." I said. I felt the ground begin to weep.

"What is upsetting you?" Tom asked.

"It's just I can hear something weeping. Something is upsetting the life around us. I know that sounds weird but, I just feel connected to the forest." I said and Tom smiled at me.

"Not weird at all. I knew someone else who felt like that once." Tom said and I looked to him before walking towards the loudest cry I could hear. It was coming from the whomping willow tree. I have already fixed the cries once but, this seemed like it was shattered. What was that about?
