Warnings - mentions death
__________________________________
From a young age no one thinks of what it will feel like when you lose someone. When you lose the people who raised you and took care of you all the time. From when you were sick or when you hated doing things because they made you feel unhappy. To lose all that in the blink of an eye because of the one thing you fear to come true. I wasn't a stranger to isolation but going from a manor that had nearly fifteen bedrooms. To be forced to move into a place a house with people you don't know and into a smaller way smaller home that your born into. Of course I was never one to brag about what I had I wasn't a Malfoy after all. And don't get me wrong I loved my friends and Draco Malfoy being one, but his motives weren't always the same as mine.
Going from England to a place all the way in America a small town of only like 3,000 people. It was a rough change and knowing it would be they left me alone for a while. Going back and forth form Scotland where school was located and to America for breaks and summer or Christmas. It was rough especially when I have never met these people nor have mum or dad talked of them. I remember it clearly the day I was approached that day I felt off but ignored it anyway. I shouldn't have ignored that feeling, my mum always told me that if I feel as though something even the smallest of a feeling. If I ever felt as though something was going wrong she told me to believe in that feeling because no matter what it couldn't possibly be wrong.
Although I didn't believe her when I felt it, so I brushed it aside and continued with my day. A normal average day it was supposed to be and it wasn't that's for sure. Because as me and my friends sat in the common room of our house we sorted into when eleven. I was laughing with them until both Professor snape came close to us and Dumbledore as well. The room froze, everyone went silent about whatever rubbish we were in about.
"Miss Hawthorne may we speak in private?" Dumbledore said
"Am I in trouble sir?" I asked softly
"No dear, just come along" Dumbledore said
I remember walking behind them, down the twists and turns that were the Hogwarts castle corridors. A maze it was that is for sure, but it was easy once you mapped it all out and memorized it all. It was as if time slowed down the closer we got to the entrance of the Dumbledores office. For when we entered I was told to sit for whatever they were going to tell me I already knew wasn't too good.
"I'm sorry Miss Hawthorne but we received a letter from your parents" Dumbledore began
Why would mum and dad letter the school unless they needed me home immediately for something.
"I don't understand Professor" I said confused
"They" Dumbledore couldn't speak
"I'm sorry for your loss Miss Hawthorne" snape said
I turned towards him as the news sunk into my brain and the emotion rolled around. The gears in my head began to turn as I came to realize I was now an orphan. They were dead my parents are dead and that gut feeling I felt today was my first warning. The first and last warning I would have gotten if only I payed attention to it, if only I knew what it meant. I stayed there frozen unable to speak or move from my place in the chair. I didn't want to cry in fact I wanted to scream and let my anger out. Denial was the first thing that came spitting out of my mouth.
"Their fine, you must be mistaken" I said shaking my head
"I'm sorry but we aren't" snape said
Dumbledore handed me the letter as proof causing anger to rise in my body and mind. I felt the magic inside me building up to a rage so big I didn't know what might happen.
"I....they....no" is all I could say
"Get Draco or Theodore" snape said to Dumbledore
"What for?" Dumbledore said
"They can clam her" snape said
But I didn't reply as my magic shook the room, the castle and I screamed. A blast of magic flew out of me causing both snape and Dumbledore to be thrown into a wall. I dropped to my knees as tears formed in my eyes, shaking violently as it all came crashing down on me like a suffocating cloud. The two professors got up from their places on the floor and with a quick wave of his wand. Dumbledore fixed everything I'd broken with my blast of magic, yet I was numb to it now. As I felt my hands spark Professor Dumbledore and snape spoke but I couldn't make it out. Not until I felt my head tilt back and a cool liquid flowing through my body down from my lips. And with easy I felt calm again, it was called a calming drought for a reason you know.
To calm the person of anything they need but now I felt so calm it made me want to scream. As snape led me back down to the dungeons to my friends they all looked scared upon seeing me.
"Darling" Draco said softly
I looked up numbly and felt myself break further at the sight of him.
"Their dead Draco, gone for good completely and utterly dead" I said
"What?, who?" Theodore asked
"My parents, the last of my bloodline is me" I said and walked slowly towards my dorm
I remember packing my things up as Dumbledore stated I needed to meet the people who would take me in. To get used to them and be able to feel safe around them, but I knew it wasn't just for that. He wanted me to feel better and yet I knew then that I'd never be the same. Because as we approached the house where my two house Elfs Nona and Kai were waiting I knew it was all very true.
"Miss Hawthorne we are so very sorry" Nona said
"Yeah" I said softly
"Would you like some hot chocolate or warm butterbeer?" Kai asked
"That will do" I said not choosing one
As I walked to my room and gathered my things, taking my wand out. After being giving permission to use magic outside of school grounds. I cast the spell to pack my clothes and the important things I wanted that would fit with me. I sighed softly to myself as I shrunk everything placed it within my trunk. I took Alistair my black cobra snake and then looked around for Jax my owl. When I couldn't find him I shrugged it off he probably was waiting at wherever it was I was headed.
