The week went on, Tom made his horcrux, much to my dismay.

With only two days left, I had to find my mother.  I had mentioned to Tom that I was going to bring my cousin back, and she would enroll at Hogwarts, but he didnt know anything more.

"Tom?" I asked

He was at the table reading a book, and turned his head in my direction.

"In going to lunch to meet someone, want me to bring you anything? A sandwich? Drink?"

"I'm fine." He said, and went back to his book.

So then I left. I went to find my mother, something that would change my life.

Dumbledore had done some digging before we left, and he gave me Annabelle's address.

I looked at the numbers on the paper and went road to road to find it.

1546 cherry hill drive

I finally made my way to cherry hill drive,

1541, 1542, 1543, 1544, 1545
Then finally 1546.

I went up to the door, when a sudden wash of fear went over me. What if she didnt believe me.

I pushed those thought to the back of mind, and took in the scenery.

It was a small house, pale yellow, with a small garden in the corner. The house was so normal, it was almost weird.

I walked up to the door, and knocked. Such a simple action, could change my life.

After a few seconds, the door was opened.

I women with dark skin amd bright brown eyes opened the door.

"Hello, may I help you?" She asked

"Is Annabelle Walker here?"

"Yes, may I ask why you want to see her?"

"I am a representitive of a school, and was wondering if she was intrested in a spot."

"Arent you a little young to be representing your school?" She asked

"I am best in mu classes, and head girl." I lied with ease. "May I talk to her?" I press

"Of course come on in. She is just in her room, first door to the left. " she welcomed me in.

I walked into the house, it was fairly clean, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

I walked to her room, hoping for the best, yet expecting the worst.

☀☀☀

I knocked on her door, before walking in.

"Hello?" I ask

"Hi." She greeted me

"So this might be a weird, but I am representing a school, and we would love to have you enroll."

"In the middle of the school year?" She questioned

"If possible."

"What is this school?"

"Im sure you know, but you are a witch. This school is called Hogwarts, for witchcraft and wizardry." I explain

"How do you know I'm a witch?"

"Well its a long story, but we found your profile and it said you are homeschooled. We thought you would make an exceptional student."

"Okay."

After sorting everything out with Annabelle and her parents, we made a plan that I would come get her tomorrow, and Tom and I would go to the train station with her.

I left extremely happy, and I almost skipped my way back to the motel.

I opened the door to see a sleeping Tom, still in the same chair with the same book from when I left.

I just left him be and went to go pick up some dinner for the two of us.

I wasn't super familiar with the muggle world, sinve I grew up in a poor orphanage, we never ate out.

I pulled out my muggle money, and walked into a place called Wendy's.

After ordering the food, I sat down at a table to wait.

After a few minutes I noticed some strange men walk in. Part of me wanted to say they were death eaters, but it was the wrong time period for that.

I realised it must be some of Grindlewalds followers. Either that or I was just really judgmental. I wasnt exactly scared if it was some of his followers, because I had faced worse, but it was still nervewracking.

I acted as muggle like as possible, and eventually made my way out.

I walked to the motel, which took about 10 minutes.

"Tom I have food!"

Immedietly he woke up as the word food rolled off my tongue.

"What did you get me?" He asked

"A crispy chicken BLT, some fries, a lemonade, and a frosty."

He didn't object to any of them, so I guess I did good. I grabbed out my Jr. Bacon cheeseburger and immedietly dove in, forgetting Tom was in the room.

He gave me an amused look.

"Don't let me stop you." He said with a smirk

"Hey!" I said, forgetting my mouth was full, so it came out more like, 'herberbua'.

Although he didnt know it, this was a moment I would never forget. A moment where I could be with my father, and have him not trying to kill me.

All I could do was smile, and continue eating my burger.

(A/N: I was thinking, what if, once I'm done with this book, I wrote one from Annabelles perspective. It would show how Ava came and took her to Hogwarts, and fell in love with Tom. It would also show some of Avas heritage, like her grandparents, blood status, and why Annabelle didn't originally go to Hogwarts. Anyways just a thought, please comment to let me know what you think of this idea!)
