I awoke to the same inky black room I saw yesterday as I fell asleep.I guess it's not day yet.But it should be.The window is-gone!It's gone!

I ran to the space where the window should have been.I felt only stones.

No!Glass window or bar window it made me happy!Why would Uncle do this?Why would he give the window to me and then take it away?

"Like my remodeling?"Uncle Olivander's voice boomed out of the speaker.

"Why?"I asked.

"You looked like you were having fun."

"But-"

"We'll talk later."

I flew at the door and started to pound it.

"Give it back,give it back!"I yelled.

"Now,now,Tamara.Settle down."

Two metal claws shot out from the ceiling,grabbed my arms and hung me in the air,still kicking.Two more appeared from the floor and grabbed my legs.

"Goodbye."

The speaker buzzed and then went silent as it always did.

The claws dropped me.My knees buckled when I landed.I started to cry.My tears kissed my cheeks as they made their way down.My sobs echoed in the room.

I started to hear grunting across the hall.The guards must be sitting down.Or eating.Then something hit the door.

I stood up and backed away to the wall.If anything is hitting this door then it must not be good.

After more banging the noise ceased.I inched towards the door.Then a louder bang echoed through the room.A noise like metal breaking followed.The noise made my skin crawl.

Then the door flew open and I was blinded.I squinted through the light and saw a faint shadow.As my eyes adjusted to the light I saw him.
