Gone Now, Here Tomorrow

Chapter 11

        It's about mid-december. Currently I sat throwing a ball and using accio to bring it back. It's four in the morning right now and I started at about,... 12:36 PM.

        I've been waking up early every morning, I don't know why, but it's probably because of the box. Just a guess.

        I stopped with the ball when I heard a pecking on my window. I opened it and Fluff flew in covered in snow, holding a letter in his beak.

        He dropped the letter and I heated him up with some purple fire I made from a mushroom next to the Quidditch field.

        The purple fire is supposed to taste like whatever you want when you lick it. I picked over a hundred mushrooms, theres a huge patch of them, I put them all in my trunk.

        'Tomato soup' I thought, licking the flame. Mmmm, campbells, my favorite. I hadn't tested it before, so now I know it works.

        I picked up the letter Fluff brought and opened it up.

        Dear Jade,

        We miss you dearly and hope that you are having a great time there at Hogwarts.

                                                                We love you!

                                                                              Mom & Dad

        Inside the envelope was more money, my question about next year is answered. I stood up and ran to the Courtyard with a jar of food fire. (Yes I named it) I love the Courtyard. It's my one place to relax and listen to the things around me.

        I grabbed my food fire jar and thought, 'Strawberries and cream oatmeal' I licked it to taste,... A... I don't know, it tasted so...

        I fainted dropping the fire's jar and shattering it leaving glass all over the bench area.

                                                        Xx--(Flashback)--xX

        I sat up warily and looked around. I was in a kitchen. The oven was on and there was a spoon slowly stirring the contents of the pot all by itself. I stood up and walked into one of the other rooms and saw two babies giggling and clapping their hands.

        It appeared that one was a girl and one was a boy. I walked closer to the girl and reached out my hand to her. I touched her shoulder and she looked at me with piercing green eyes then out of the blue, started giggling again.

        I then turned to the boy who had the same eyes and ruffled black hair. He was playing with some magic trains and he seemed angry, as he smashed two together, that they wouldn't stick together.

        I turned the train around and he shrieked happily as they spurred to life. He looked right into my eyes and I snapped up to see Fluff pecking at the food fire. I licked it experimentally to see what he was eating, and spit the taste out of my mouth the moment it touched my tongue.

        Birdseed, Owlers Owl feed, bleh. I stood up and pulled out my wand. I waved it slowly repairing the jar, shrinking it, and drawing it back to my trunk.

        Bending down to let Fluff hop on my arm, I watched the food fire slowly decreasing.

        I walked back up to my bed and plopped down as soon as I walked through the door. Again, I took out my wand and put a protective shield around Fluff. I opened the window, scooping Fluff onto my hand and stuck it out the window watching him fly into the distance.

******************

        I sat in the library looking through my stack of books that might have something about Nicolas Flamel.

        After twenty minutes of searching I found nothing and walked into the hallway joining Harry, Hermione, and Ron as we all walked to the Great Hall for Lunch.

*****************

        Ron, Harry, and I had been having way too much fun to think about Flamel or researching anything about him. Ron was teaching us Wizard Chess which I was pretty good at, I had beaten Ron two times in a row while using Seamus's chessmen, they trusted me through and through but were rude and annoying to Harry, it was quite funny really.

        I wrapped presents thinking good thoughts about what would happen tomorrow, I didn't expect to get any presents though. Right before I went to bed I painfully wrapped up my invisibility cloak and put in a note neatly handwritten. It hurts to give it away, but Harry's my brother, and I bet I could just make a potion for invisibility or something, plus since whenever I draw something with my wand, it appears, I could borrow it any time I wanted.

        I also wrapped up presents for Hagrid, Ron, Hermione, Mom, Dad, Dumbledore, Fred, George, Seamus, and Mr and Mrs Weasley. After all that wrapping I climbed into bed and immediately fell asleep, thinking of the presents I had placed under the tree in the Common Room, and completely forgetting about the box.

        So guys, what do you think? I stayed up extra early tonight and wrote for 2 hours straight. I'm not quite done with the next chapter, but i'll try to get it uploaded by tomorrow just because you guys have been great readers. So I have a question, What do you think is in the box, and do you think I should start writing in others Point of View. Thank you all and have a great July 9th in an hour and a half XD
