Unaware

What?

"Belinda!"

Fuck. "Yes, Mother?" I say, as I walk up the stairs and poke my head out my door only to pull back at the sight of a pan flying at my face.

"Haha! Bitch, you almost got hit!" I hear my sister shout. I turn my attention to the direction the projectile.

"Clean the goddamned kitchen! We're going to the movies!" She said as my sister and her left the house.

"Fuuuuuuuck," they leave a goddamned nine year old to clean a kitchen, just my luck. I walk outside to see a bundle of snakes hatch in the backyard, Cool! I sit next to the pile admiring the warm feel of the concrete, I calmly watch as the eggs split into.

"Hello there." Says a calm, motherly voice. I looked around and saw no one, as I felt something up my leg, I looked to see a snake had coiled around it in loose loops.

"Oh hello," this is strange.

"I see you were looking at my children, what are your intentions?"

My eyes went wide at the realization of what others would have done. "I think they are magnificent, honestly. I would never do a thing to hurt them or you," I reply to the matte black serpent. "Um, would you and your babies like to come live with me? T-there are plenty of mice and rats to eat," I ask shyly.

"I'm sorry darling but my babies must go off on their own, but I would certainly love that. By the way my name is Charra."

"O-okay! I-I have to clean, but the window is right over there!" I say pointing to the ground level window.

I blow my hair out of my face, grabbing the scissors, I begin to cut a series of angles. The end result being a diagonal cut with a curl at the end of my bangs. I glance up at the clock, it reads 12:09. I stick a candle in one of my potatoes, I reach for the lighter but stop when I hear Stop. Frozen, I listen. Focus on the wick of the candle, once you have zeroed in on it, say 'Incedio'. "Incedio." I whisper and watch in awe as the wick is engulfed in an orange flick. Happy Birthday, Bell. Make a wish.
"A wish?" Yes, a wish. I wish I could get away from this place! I think as I blow out the candle and remove it to eat my potato.

"That'sss no meal for a growing human!" Charra lashes.

"I mean its all I've got, it's not like I can go find food somewhere!"

"Then I will," she says as she slithers out the window. I wait in silence for a few minutes just eating my potato. She soon comes back with a full rotisserie chicken, the smell floods the air in the room. She drops the chicken as I pick it up and tear into the luscious meat. I soon finished the chicken and plop onto my bed.

"That hit the spot," I say as Charra slithers onto the mattress, we both curl up in a small ball until we hear feathers hitting the air. Charra slides underneath the pillow as I investigate. Turning on the light, I see a dark gray owl with a letter in it's beak. "H-hello?" the owl cooed and dropped the letter at her feet. I picked up and opened the letter, it read- Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards) Dear Ms. Ophelia, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. You will need to get your supplies at Diagon Ally.

Bell searched for a pen and paper and wrote a letter saying she would be glad to attend but has no way of getting there nor does she know where to gather supplies, she also requested for Charra to come with her since she knew her Mother would flip shit and kill her. Folded the letter, and put it in the owl's beak then sent her off. "It's clear, Charra. How would you like to go to Hogwarts with me?"

"What'sss 'Hogwartsss'?"

"Apparently a magic school for witches and warlocks." I say.

"Sssure." She says as we return to our sleeping positions.
