Chapter twenty four

The plot of this chapter is at the end so please bear w/ it.

__________________________________________________________________________________

It was already three days since we had returned home from Perth.

I had to go back to studying, unfortunately. The so called March Break killed me. I didn't really like the idea of sitting at home and coop up in my room for studying, but there was no way out.

I couldn't even watch Harry Potter in peace. Every time I sat in front of my MacBook to watch Harry Potter, I had this guilty feeling that I wasn't studying, even though I was done studying for the day.

Phoenix and Eloise were working from home. Mom and Dad had to do extra hours at their work since they had taken off for a few days. Everything had gone back to how it was before. And it couldn't get any better. 

I was in touch with the Waylon scientists and we talked about anything and everything related to chemistry and surprisingly, about Harry Potter too. It felt real good to talk to them and every time we face timed, it never used to end within minutes. Only hours.

I was doing some numericals in physics and the door bell rang. I didn't bother much about it, considering the fact that either Phoenix or Eloise would receive it.

A few minutes later, I saw my brother and his fiancé walking up the stairs, towards my room.

He had a huge package in his had and he straight away plopped on my bed, causing some loose sheets to fall on the ground, earning a glare from me.

"What is it?" I asked, referring to the package.

"Don't know. Its addressed to you, though." Eloise spoke.

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion at the fact that it was addressed to me.

"Open it, open it." He told me in an eager tone.

I carefully opened the package to find...a backpack?

It wasn't any backpack. It had my favourite Harry Potter quote on it, in the Harry Potter calligraphy.

It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.

I was out of the world when I saw the bag. My happiness new no bounds. Who sent this to me?

I couldn't help but wonder. Mom had gifted me a new wave board, since my old one had almost worn out. Dad had bought me a new phone. Phoenix and Eloise had gifted me a huge collage of all my pictures. 

Vin sent this to me? No. I didn't think so because that idiot wouldn't have concentrated so much on Harry Potter quotes and all. 

Andrew maybe? Again, he was another idiot whom I had to wake when Snape died in Deathly Hallows Part Two. I mean, who sleeps when that scene was playing? So the conclusion was the he wouldn't have sent this to me.

"I think there is something inside it. Open it." Eloise told me, breaking me from my thoughts.

I opened the bag to find a black hoodie with the Slytherin house emblem in the back and the Hogwarts school symbol at the front. What the..

"Whoa! This is ridikkulus!" I exclaimed, making a Harry Potter reference.

I mean, it was amazing, flipping awesome and everything about the backpack and the hoodie screamed perfect but what bothered me was about who had sent this to me.

I dug further into the backpack and found a small piece of folded paper, hoping hard that I'd find out about the one who had sent this to me.

I unfolded it, to find an unfamiliar handwriting.
