The Darkest Hour

A New Life: Chapter 1: holdiays

The holiday was Christmas. The snow fell slowly onto the ground. The ground hardened as it had been frozen. The trees were bare. Christmas trees were up and the decorations hung. Lights shone. The music played softly and magic whizzed past the students. Every thing was peaceful and quiet except for Maribel. Maribel was lying in bed. Her arms behind her head as she stared up at the ceiling. She sighed to herself thinking about what she was going to do.

She closed her eyes. Visions flashed into her brain. She was brought back to a bare building. Nothing shone. The sun had disappeared and the trees were barren.

"Where am I?" Maribel mumbled to herself as she slowly and carefully walked to the building. The building looked oddly familiar....

" no this .... this can't be..." she said taking a couple steps back. She froze and slowly turned around. Her eyes widened and suddenly she was back on her bed. She sat up and took many breaths. She looked at her arm and saw goose bumps starting to form. She realized she was sweating. She got out of bed and quickly got changed. She grabbed her wand and ran down to the Great Hall where her friends were.

" Hi!" The twins said at the same time. Hannah looked up and smiled at Maribel but then raised an eyebrow at her because Maribel was distracted.

" What's wrong?" Hannah asked her.

" N..nothing." She replied. The twins looked at each other and then looked back at her.

" We know you're lying to us because-"

" you always play with your fingers nervously." The answered together.

" Okay this was strange.. I was lying in bed when I had a vision. But it wasn't any old vision. I was brought to an old building. Everything was bare and nothing was there. I turned around and I was brought back to my bed. So I have no clue what's going on.".she said quietly to them. Hannah looked at Fred who then looked at George.

What was going on?
