As cold as stone

"I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want them to do, without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt if I want to."


I'm still repeating these sentences again after the man with the strange clothes left. It's not because I'm nervous. It's because I'm searching for a sign of weakness in my words. I know this school wants me and I'm sure my father was a great wizard.

A wizard!

It had to be my father because my wretched mother would not have died if she had been able to cast spells!

Casting spells?

What if he really was a doctor?! I mean... I know I'm different. I know I'm able to do extraordinary things. Yes... I'm a wizard! But maybe the man was just joking? Maybe he knows my desire to find out what I am. But maybe he was just collecting proofs to lock me up!

Stop!

Why am I worried?! I'm the dark and secret Lord of this orphanage and I know that even the matrons are afraid of me! But why are they? I think they don't trust me especially since the day I was in the cave with Dennis and Amy, two weak and ordinary orphans who used to cry all day long!

I just showed how to use my talents... my special skills... my magic! They laughed at me as I showed them that I can transform the water of the cave into apple juice... so I let my anger out. How dared they laugh at me?! Why they needed it?! I managed to torture them both simultaneously. The sound of their screams was tossed back and forth in the cave like their twitching bodies not able to get the control back.

I will never forget the feeling I had when I saw them lying on the cold stone begging me to stop. I will never forget how they crawled away from me after I decided to stop. And I will never forget how it felt as I laughed at them! And then I let them go. Unfortunately they behave different after it so everybody knew that something happened.

I felt that Amy and Dennis were about to tell Mrs Cole what happened in the cave but I knew I couldn't let them do it. So I showed them what would happen to them if they tell others our little secret. When we were back in the orphanage I took Billy's bunny and hung it on the roof beams.

Poor Billy started to cry when he saw it and I knew my two victims will never tell the story of our journey to anybody.
I close my eyes. Yes, the day was great and these experiences were worth it but... the days after I killed Billy's bunny were terrible!

I think Mrs Cole always knew that I am different and it seemed like she didn't want to treat me like the others anymore.
She locked me up in her basement without something to eat or to drink for two days. I didn't know how to create food with my imagination I wasn't able to do it!

Then she started to search "doctors" to get me out of her way. This is the reason I just don't really trust this man. Dumbledore. He seemed also seemed... different but I'm not sure if he is still completely sane!

He set my whole wardrobe on fire just to show me that he... that he- that he is a... wizard! I hate it to be weak but I have to say it out loud just to be sure that I'm not dreaming!

"I am a wizard." I whisper. Again, just a bit louder. "I am a wizard!!"

I smile.
