shut up, Malfoy

Chapter I : My Destiny

I wake up screaming, again. Always the same nightmare. I look at the clock on my baby pink wall. God, I really need to redo my room. I changed, I'm not the same anymore. It's 7:22 am. Wow, I can't remember the last time I woke up after 6 am. I get up and take a look at my closet. At least, my clothes are new and really... me. I decide to wear a black top with cargo pants, a jean jacket and big black boots. I add my usual jewlery. Silver rings and crystal necklaces. I believe in spiritual things since 2 years. I actually think that it saved my life. When I was 14, something bad happened, and I was in a terrible place. Then, I started to use crystals, make moonwater, do rituals (only for good, I promise) and it got me out of... actually we can stop talking about this. Anyways, now I'm 16, I moved on, and my life is pretty great, actually. Well, I think so...

-Avery! 

Oh no, not her. I wish I could leave without having to say goodbye to Kaitlyn. When I talk to her I call her "mother" by respect and because I don't want us to fight but I don't consider her as my mother. I had my bags, I was about to go, the front door was just in front of me. But, of course, she had to wake up.

-You weren't gonna leave without saying goodbye, weren't you?

-Of course not, Mother.

She's looking at me from head to toes. Shit. I'm in trouble.

-Can you tell me what the hell are you wearing?

I don't say anything, I stay silent.

-Avery! 

-Mother, this is what I wear everyday.

-When you stay at home. You're not going to school looking like that. What will other people think of you? 

I don't answer.

-You know what? Do what you want. But don't even think about coming home once everyone will know the truth about you. Don't cry when you'll realize nobody cares about you. I always do everything for you, so that no one ever finds out what happened, but I'm done with your attitude. You're never grateful for everything I do, and you just do whatever you want. I'm done!

She leaves. I can't stay here one more second. I'm not mad at her, I'm mad at myself. She's right. Nobody cares about me. And it's my fault.

I entered the 9 3/4 platform easily. I'm now in the train. I'm nervous. The last time I went to Hogwarts was 2 years ago. When I was 11, I did my first year in Hogwarts. I went back at 12 for a second year, and at 13 for a third year. After my third year, when I was 14, something happened. I had to leave Hogwarts because so much was happening and I didn't have time for school. I told everyone I went visiting my grandfather who lives in Canada. Two years after, I can finally go back to Hogwarts. I'm going in 6th year this year. Because I'm smart and I learn fast, I don't have to to do my 4th and 5th year. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

This is time. I'm home now. I go out of the train, a big smile in my face. I'm happy. Really happy. 

-Haggrid!

-Avery! How have you been, how was Canada? You have grown so much!

-I've been great, Canada's amazing! What about you? 

Lies. I've never been to Canada. And I haven't been great. Not at all.

-I missed you so much! But I have bad news... I can't really enter in details, but every students you knew here are not in Hogwarts anymore. Some Muggles discovered the existence of this world, so every students had to leave for there own safety. But we're safe, now.

-Really? That's not cool for the students that had to leave... I'm happy I wasn't there at this time! And I honestly didn't have any friends except you so, that's not so important to me.

We walk until we arrive at the school. We enter the Great Hall. God, I missed this. I missed being with all those nice Gryffindors, luckily not with the Slytherins. I'm about to join my table, when I hear Dumbledore calling my name loud, in front of everyone.

-Avery Katz! Come here please. 

The room is silent. I join Dumbledore.

-Let me introduce you to our new student, Avery Katz. She went here for her three first years, then she left to go in Canada, and after two years, she's back. Because she left for two years and she obviously changed during that time, we're going to let the Sorting Hat decide wich house Avery is going to be in.

WHAT?! Don't worry Avery, you're going to stay in Gryffindor for sure.

I'm nervously walking to the chair where the Sorting Hat is going to tell me my destiny. I sit, and then I feel it on my head.

Gryffindor. Gryffindor. Gryffindor. Finding myself with the Slytherins is not worring me, there's no way I can enter-

-Slytherin!

No. No, no, no, no. It's impossible. Everyone from the table of the Slytherins is applauding. I join them, faking a smile. I can't believe this. This year is gonna be terrible.
