Chapter 4
After the meeting with the dark lord i just sit there, confused. Christmas... This was a big decision that I must make by Christmas... I'm pulled out of my thoughts to see the man I am to live with until the end of this month. He looks at me, waiting for me to move, when I don't he finally speaks. " when exactly are you going to get up so we can leave." I didn't know what to say he voice was so cold and unfeeling. I just simply get up and think to myself, this is to much for one day don't make it any worse for yourself. When I finally reach him he holds out his arm. Confused on what he is doing I just stare at him.. He looks at me in annoyance " take my arm and don't let go." I do as told and hold on tight for fear of what could happen if I were to left go. I feel the strange pulling and stretching again, then like before the loud pop. We were now in a dark small living room. This must be his home I thought. Not much here i think as I take everything in. A dark leather couch and arm chair and a very large book case filled with old dusty looking books.. Over all not very inviting. "are you coming so I may show you your room" he says in a deep monotone voice from the stair case. I only nod and follow him up the stairs through a long hallway to a room that is as uninviting as the living room. All that filled the room was a simple queen bed with black sheets that laid in the middle of the room, a smaller book case with newer looking books and a closet. " this is where you'll be sleeping" I nod only to show I had heard him. He leaves the room to walk to the other side of the hallway to show a very basic bathroom. Everything this man owned was black not that it bothered me but I do like a little variety. "this will be your bathroom. You are took keep this and your room clean" he said as if I was a small child that had to be watched at all times. He was getting on my nerves fast. He pointed to a large door at the very end of the hall " that is my room and is completely off limits" I just look at him trying to hold my tongue, I cant take much more of this. " I have rules in my house. You are to clean up after yourself. You will show me respect. And I will not allow any form of back talk" that's it. " I am not a child" I say loudly. He looks a bit taken back I'm not sure if from me yelling at him or even saying anything. "do not yell at me. You are lucky I have offered to keep you until we are to go to Hogwarts" "lucky?!?!? Yes I'm so lucky that I was taken from my "home" and forced to come stay with some one that thinks of me a burden! You are not doing me any favors by having me here!" I basically yell. He just looks at me and walks away. Really I thought, nothing to say back. Must not be use to getting talked back to. I walk into my room.. This was not going to be a fun time. Perhaps I should just stay in here I thought. I walk to the closet just to see if anything was in it and to my surprise it was filled with clothes. I was confused as to why they were there. I find a note on the door saying they were a gift from the dark lord. Thank god I have some thing to change into. I take one of the plain black dresses and go to the bathroom to finally shower. After I was finally clean I walk back to my room. I am not going anywhere near that man while I am here I thought. Granted that was highly unlikely since the house was so small and I did have to come out of my room at some point. I decided that I would deal with that tomorrow and fall into a dreamless sleep.
