The Spells of the Enemy

Chapter Four

I look out my window, and see the stars glistening. They glisten like a shimmer of sunlight that hits a reflective surface.

I climb out and onto the roof, not caring about my cold. The closer I am to the stars, the more comfortable I receive. I sit down and watch the sky, like something extravagant is going to happen.

"Beautiful, isn't it" I hear a voice. Draco sits down next to me.

"I love the stars" I state.

"I was named after that constellation" he points at Draconis.

"I feel like you've told me that before" I say.

"That's because I probably have" he chuckles.

"It amazes me how we're all made up of the same cosmic star dust. We are all made from the same thing as those stars and as every or every person who has done you wrong. Could you imagine what their reaction would be if you pointed that out" I laugh at the end.

"Yeah" a small chuckle is heard from Draco.

"Do you like Lily" I question, feeling a hug at my heart.

"She's cool, I guess. I like someone else" he explains.

"You two would make a good couple" a sad smile crosses over my face.

"Not as good of a couple me and the girl I like and I would make" he says, with a proud grin.

"Sounds like a lucky girl, care to share" I ask.

"Nope" he replies, in a sing-song tone. I roll my eyes and start identifying the constellations.

"They're the same in Muggle London" I state.

"What" he asks, confusion written on his face.

"The constellations" I respond.

"Oh" he laughs. I stand up and he follows. I laugh at the confused look on his face.

"Dance with me" I hold my hand out and we start to dance. A shooting star goes across the sky and I smile.

"Make a wish" Draco whispers in my ear. I giggle and wish for all of my friends to be happy.

"Ok, did you make a wish" I ask him. He nods and we run back inside. I sit on my bed and yawn.

"Here, you go to sleep. I will. Talk to you in the morning. Good night" he kisses my for head and walks out.

"Draco" I call, before the door is shut.

"Yes" he asks, his voice low amd husk.

"Sleep well" I say and he grins.

"You too" then the door closes and I am left with my thoughts. I know it is wring to think this, but I kind of want to visit my adopted mother.

If my father weren't there, I would have visited her already. I know that she only watched because she was utterly terrified of him. She would love to know how my life has been.

With that thought, I apperate to Diagon Alley and walk into the Leaky Cauldron.

"Ah, Mrs. Riddle. How are you this morning" I hear someone snarl. I turn and see Lucius Malfoy.

"I am swell, how about yourself" I question.

"Good good" he chuckles dryly. I walk past him and out into muggle London.

I run home and find my adopted mother sitting on the couch. Her face is extremely pale and she is looking st the window in fright. Then I see it, a wolf.

The wolf is clearly a werewolf. It's viscous eyes are locked on it's target: my adopted mom.

I run in and it's eyes land in me. A snarl erupts from it's mouth. My adopted mother grabs my shoulder.

"Mom, I need you to get to your room. I will take care of the wolf. It can't be too hard" I smile. She nods and backs away slowly. I distract the wolf by taking mild steps forward.

I open the back door slowly, hoping the wolf will stay where it is. My hopes were not accurate.

The second the door opened, I was pinned to a wall with a wolf at my neck. I try pushing it away, but it only makes it angry, so I try something else. I know this is stupid, but I start singing a song I learned from MLP. It is called the moon rises.

Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light
Has crossed the west horizon
And has bidden us goodnight
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed

So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The people of this lovely earth
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?

Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now
For them all to come around
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground

It comes to this at last:
I will no longer yield the sky
If they cannot love
But one princess alone
See, the Moon is rising
She has come to claim the heavens for her own

And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby
So say goodnight to this,
The final setting of the sun,
Tomorrow dawns in darkness;
The nighttime has begun!

The wolf walks away from me and starts to shake. He begins to transform back into a human. When I see who he is, I gasp in suprize.

My neighbor, Dr. R Besley is a werewolf. She looks at me and smiles. I smike in return.

"Now dear, how about I get you a cup of tea" she offers.

"Sure let me tell my mom that it's safe" I grin.

"How did you know to do that" she questions.

"Sheer dumb luck" I reply. She nods and we part different way, knowing we will encounter each other in the next ten minutes.
