My Lucky Star

Chapter Two

July 29th 1995.

I had two days left to send my owl out to let Hogwarts know that I was attending.

This wasn't like me. I usually would have given a response probably 2 minutes after opening the letter but the last couple of days have been really hard on me.

My dead beat dad is coming back into the home me and my mother worked towards.

My mother betrayed me and is getting back with her dead beat husband for god knows what reason.

I am moving to another country half way across the world to live with family I haven't seen in 10 years.

And let's not forget that I'm leaving the life I made in Ilvermorny for the last 5 years.

My friends, my home away from home, and everything i worked towards is now being taken away from me.

I get up from the bed I've been in for the past 4 days trying to avoid the real world.

I rub my eyes and open up my dark purple blinds to see the sun shining against the oak tree beside my window.

I shut my eyes quickly and turn around towards my mirror on top of my dresser.

"Oh god." I grab the brush and comb out my straight black hair then quickly put it in a high ponytail and decide i should get out of my room because i can't hide from this longer.

I make my way down my creaky old stairs and hear my moms chair from the kitchen squeak.

"Aries hi. Um" she moves over to make room for me to pass by as I walk right past her towards the cupboard and grab my favourite blue mug and fill it up with coffee.

"I don't know how you drink that black" She says with a little chuckle to lighten the mood.

I ignore her and walk towards the kitchen table and sit on the chair farthest away from her.

"I made breakfast! there's eggs, bacon, a mini waffle with Nutella and cinnamon" She nervously sits across from me looking towards the fridge away from me.

"So.. did you respond to that school about your admission?" She tries to make conversation as I drop my fork to her response.

"Why are you getting back together with dad?" I looked at her.

"Aries.. I'm not in a good spot financially and I'm alone with zander and you're gone half of the year at that school" she tears up and picks the side of her finger.

"That's not an excuse Mom. After everything he did to us? and that school is called Ilvermorny and that was my home."

she laughs. "Your home? really with those weirdos."

"weirdos huh?" I pull my chair back and start to get up.

"I didn't mean that" She jumps in.

"Well I guess I'm a weirdo too mom! He hasn't even walked into this house and he's brainwashed you already."

"Aries please honey." she tries to get in my way.

"You know mom it must be sad. I am not even mad anymore. I am sad for you. I hope this was the right decision because you now lost a daughter and if i go i am not coming back. Do you want that mom?" I say with tears in my eyes.

I know I know. That was Harsh.

She looks at me with heartbreaking eyes. She whips the tears away from her pale face and swallows.

"Aunt Ophelia will be here on the 1st of August. I hope you will have everything ready by then. She turns and walks upstairs straight to her room and closes the door.

I fall to the floor crying, pulling my knees to my chest.

How can my mother do this to me? I know her and dad will never understand who i am but i am her daughter.

I think of all the things that could've gone wrong.

I start to get frustrated and angry at the fact that I am crying.

"Why are you so goddamn emotional Aries!" I stand up and make my way to my room at the end of the hall and grab my quill and note pad on my dresser and sit on my bed quickly writing.

Hello,

Thank you so much for accepting me into Hogwarts.

I have decided I will be attending in the upcoming term.

Thank you again for giving me this opportunity.

Sincerely,

Aries Greenwood.
