The Döppelganger Witch

🐉Twelve🐉

Ella sat in her room on her window sill  watching the rain pelt against her window.

It had been raining for a week now .

She loved rain ,but not too much . She'd been cooped up since arriving home two weeks ago .

In a few more weeks  she'd be fourteen and she never had even thought about that day when she was such a small innocent child .

It felt strange knowing that she was getting older and soon ,sooner than she can say Hippogriff  , she'd be seventeen and be off age .

Oh how she hated it . She would've loved to be a small girl again who could be carried around by her Uncle Stefan .

But that was wistful thinking and she had to face the fact that time waited for no one .

Your childhood rushes by in a blink of an eye and your young adult years too . Soon you're wrinkled and grey  and can't walk properly without a cane .

She shakes her head trying to get rid of the panicky feeling that washed over her .

She jumps up from her seat deciding that she would get her raincoat and gum boots and go take a walk outside .

She was fedup  with sitting in her room or watching TV all day downstairs .

A rebellious smile formed on her lips as she ran downstairs to the coat closet .

No one was home except maybe Uncle Damon who had taken his bottle of Bourbon into his room earlier .

Opening the closet she pulls out her red raincoat and from the shoe rack she gets her equally red gum boots .

She was just about to open the door to walk outside when Damon calls from the stairs " Where are you going , Ellagirl ?!".

"Outside ,Uncle Damon !", she calls back looking at the direction of the stairs .

" In that rain?, you'll catch a cold !".

He sounded alarmed ,but she was really not bothered with what he said .

" I'm sick of being stuck inside !", she shouts ," not even a blasted sunny morning since I came home !".

The door opened behind her just then and  a healthier looking Sirius Black came strolling in .

" Ella, calm yourself ,Girl !", he barks ," Damon is just looking out for you ".

She glares at her father from under her eyelashes ,feeling conflicted about obeying him or not .

Damon joins them downstairs at the door looking at Ella knowing what runs through her mind .

" We can go visit the Grill ,eat something or maybe get a milkshake ", he says smirking down at her .

She bites her lower lip feeling strangely stubborn to accept his offer .

" Or we can wait here for Mister Weasley who is coming to get you ", he continues ," I think three of his sons our coming too ,we can take them out to dinner because you'll be leaving with them tomorrow ".

A smile breaks out on her face . Not a rebellious one this time ,but a genuine one .

" So, I can go ?", she asks excitedly.

She'd been begging Stefan, Damon and her father every day so far to let her visit the Weasley's this Summer . It seems the begging had paid off.

" Yes , if you apologise to Damon", Sirius says seriously .

Her smile falters because she knows that Sirius was right , she'd shouted at her Uncle for something that wasn't his fault.

" I'm sorry ,Uncle Damon, " she says looking up at him with regret .
