Unknown Darkness and Light

Days Pass*

Its been a few days since Zoe has been left alone, the calendar is now marked for August 29th and Zoe is still filled with excitement for the next day to come. She hasn't even touched the present her stepdad left for her. But of course she has taken it out and tried to guess a couple of times.

In these pass few days she has mostly watched tv without the consent nag to change the channel. Gone out to the park multiple times and met with her only friend Haley. And even though she wasn't good at it she drew while sitting outside or in front of the tv. And at this very moment she was doing just that. Zoe was looking at a man playing a explorer in a movie and trying to draw the mans exact features. She thought it was more interesting do it with moving objects. Which then made her pictures look like Picasso's masterpieces.

Then all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. She got up from her couch and sadly set the drawing down to finish later. When she made it to the door she looked trough the glass hole to see a tall skinny man. His clothes he had on looked a little outdated and loved because of the warn out look of them. He looked like he was nervous about whatever he was going to say to her or even if someone opens the door. The thing that stood out the most was his red hair that was slicked back as neatly as it could get. And he didn't look to Zoe as an obvious threat to her. She didnt dare to let him in but she did wonder why he was here so she decided she would only talk to him.

Finally when she decided to open the door she noticed that the mans face lit up when the door finally opened.

"Hello I came to talk to Ms. Brown about the letter she sent to Hogwarts" the man said

" I'm sorry sir but she is currently busy and i'm not sure how long it will take."

His face grew a little shocked and he seemed to be confused about what she just said.

"Wait hold on so you are not Zoe-," he paused for a moment to think "Your not Zoe who lives with the Browns?"

"Yes sir I am but I think your thinking of my step mom who sent a letter. I haven't got any letters mailed to me nor have I written one back."

"Thats very odd so this isn't your hand writing?" He then pulled out a letter that was folded up. It had the normal black ink like her parents use and the hand writing was in fact not hers. She looked over the letter that had multiple excuses about how she couldn't attend a said school. And most importantly it had her name printed on the bottom of the letter clear as day. And the more she thought about it the more she knew who's hand writting this is. No shocker that it was indeed her step mom who wrote it, (like she thought in the first place) but she never knew if she would be so cruel as to do this. She had no clue what this Hogwarts school is about but now she wanted to learn every inch because of what her stepmom did. It filled her with rage that she never knew can run through her body.

"I didn't send this!" She finally said "my step mother did without a word to me!" She didn't know how long the man has waited for her to read the letter but once she looked at him he seemed deep in thought.

"So how about this Ms. Brown, would you like to know of the world of Hogwarts and see that letter you missed out on?"

"Yes! well at least the letter right now anyway."

And yet again she was handed another letter as the main told her there was multiple sent out to her until they got a reply two days ago.

"So are you a professor or something thats trying to recruit me?"

" My goodness how could I forget to introduce myself," he suddenly popped up from his current confused position to a bright smile and a friendly aroua around him. " My name is Arthur Weasley and Im here to escort you to get your supplies after i came to confirm if the letter was true."

"So your not a professor?"

"No but i will tell you along the way to Diagon Ally and you can leave a note for your step mom to read if she gets back before we are."

"Trust me there is no lying about magic."
