HARRY

I go downstairs instead and help myself with a leftover from last night. I still wonder why they left me alone here on Christmas day. Maybe I should go and follow them or maybe I should cast an invisiblity spell on myself and sneak in to Watford.

I am currently finishing my meal then I start to hear noises from the wooden staircase. It must be a thief or a numptie or the Humdrum. I stand up with the wand in my hand and peek out to see who's at the stairs.
It's Louis. Fucking hell. "Hello there.",he grimaces. He has changed his clothes with some of Simon's.
"What are you still doing here?!"
"Calm down,vamp. Uncle Baz and Simon left a note. Read this."
He hands me a crumpled paper and I'm still not sure if this is a trick or what.

The first stanza was in Simon's handwritting. "Hazza & Louis, sorry we have to leave you two. I know you guys are really not on good terms but we had to leave this early because Mistress Bunce got a lot of things to do. Harry please don't do anything that might harm you  or Louis or our house again. Just please stay out of trouble. And Louis, please keep an eye on him. He's very close to danger. And I hope you two will finally find peace since it's Christmas day. ;)"

Then the second paragraph was Baz's.
"Simon's just overacting. Don't mind him. But he's right,maybe you should reconcile or be friends since it's Christmas. You know been there, done that. Just stay cool you two,okay? Happy Christmas!"

What a total tragic Christmas. I just celebrated Christmas eve with him last night and even on the actual Christmas day. What a fucking joke.

"Well Hazza, I'm gonna be your baby sitter today.",he grimaces while grabbing an apple on the pantry.
"I don't need you here. Just leave my house before you ruin my holiday!"
"But-"
"Just leave my goddamn house or I swear I'll kill you!"
"Fine. Enjoy your holiday alone."
"Don't you ever come back again!"
"I won't! Huh. Poor you, someday you're gonna beg for me."
"I don't need you. Just fucking leave the house!"

He slam the door as soon as he left me.
The warzone becomes a paradise again. Thank magic! I was thinking about going to Watford. I could just flew my way there and sneak into Headmistress Bunce and gather some informations.
Before anything else start to bother me, I cast an invisibility spell on myself and I think it'll only last for an hour. And as I go out, I cogitate to have my wings. That's the way you activate my wings, amazing right? You should just think of having it and it will suddenly appear on your back. My wings are not made of feathers,it's more like a bony type of wing or should I say it's more like a dragon wings.
I'm only 9 when I knew that I have wings. I was playing with James that time. I was the dragon and he was the knight. And I just thought of having dragon wings, and it just appeared on my back. I thought I was just hallucinating it but it was really there. Simon was very happy about it when he saw me having wings. I remember him saying," Like father, like son. Forge your own wings and may you fight your battles."

As I reach Watford,I land on the Great Lawn and walk across the drawbridge. The invisibility spell was wearing off just in time. I see our minivan, and Nate's Jeep (Aunt Penny's boyfriend), and I wonder if they're already finished discussing about the Humdrum.

I'm heading to Mistress Bunce office but then someone calls my name from my back.
"Mr.Snow-Pitch, I wouldn't be surprise that you'd be here on the Christmas day."
It's Cecilia, she cooks the dishes in our cafeteria and she's really good at it. Especially the sour cherry scones that me and Simon always loved. I'd sneak a piece of it everytime the school's about to end. He's very much addicted to it.
"I'm just gathering informations,Cecilia. How about you? Aren't you going home to your family?"
"They don't care for me anymore,Mister.",she smiles even though I can see that her eyes are starting fill with water. Tristan said that she's been a widow for 3 years and her children didn't care for her anymore. She was a student here before and her husband and they said,they decided to have family after finishing Watford. Her husband died because he was saving her from a dragon. And after that her kids left her and she decided to stay at Watford because she had nothing left to stay.

She scrapes off the tears falling from her eyes and flashed a sweet smile instead. "So anyways, what is it that you've been very busy about  Mr.Pitch?"
"Uhm.. I'm trying to know more about the Humdrum. He kinda attacked us yesterday."
"Ooh the Insidious Humdrum? Your father defeated him didn't he? That's impossible."
"Yeah that's what I taught but he just kind of appear yesterday and Simon said that he's much stronger that ever."
"Oh no. It's coming again. We should defeat him before it's too late."
"What do you mean? Do you know something about the Humdrum?"
"Uh.. Erm..There's your father. See you after the break Mr.Pitch. Happy Christmas!",she smiles and runs away towards the White Chapel.
"But Cecilia!",I say trying to catch her up but she ran freakishly fast. She must be a runner. But I know she knew something about the Humdrum, there's  something about her when I told her about the Humdrum. I need to know about that.

"Harold, why are you here? And where's Louis?",Simon calls out behind.
"I thought of following you guys here. And don't mind that git,dad."
"Well you came for nothing. We already finished talking to Professor Bunce."
"Really? The Humdrum? Why did he came back?"
"To seek more power from magicians. Nothing more. Come on let's go home, Baz will be here any minute now."
"But there should be a real reason behind that."
"Oh don't be so juvenile about this, Harold. All you need to know is that you should be careful and be alert."
"Okay.", I sigh as I follow him to the car.
Baz showed up and drove us to Mcdonalds for lunch. I know they're hiding something. Everybody's hiding something to me. Baz,Simon,Cecilia, and Louis. Am I that young and bad?
