I lay in my cot in the attic as I listened to my family singing happy birthday to my twin sister. I wanted nothing more than to be down there smiling and laughing with them but I knew I couldn't show myself, mum-I mean Ma'am would kill me. I wasn't allowed to call her my mother, I couldn't even call dad my father either, I had to call him Sir. This was because I was different, and weird. I had the Weasley red hair and freckles on my arms and face, but my eyes were a bright lavender blue and they glowed slightly. I absolutely hated that about myself. It made me different from the rest of my family, and I wanted nothing more than to fit in. But I knew I couldn't, and that they would always hate me. After a while of thinking to myself I heard everyone go to bed, and I pulled on a baggy old t-shirt and my overall shorts. I was slipping on my shoes when Ma'am threw open the attic door. "You! Get downstairs and clean up! It better be spotless or there will be no food for a month!" She yelled at me. I nodded and raced downstairs, starting to clean. As I passed Sir he gave me a guilty look but didn't say anything. I began cleaning up the kitchen and dining room, looking at the scraps of what had once been my favorite meal, hamburger steak and hash browns. I desperately wanted some but I knew that if Ma'am even sensed that I had gone against her orders she would take me to that place again with the awful man who would hurt me. I shook my head and cleaned. After the kitchen was done and everything put away I started on the rest of the house. Ma'am and Sir had retired to bed, which worked in my favor. This meant that I could do my wandless magic. I had been able to move things with my mind ever since I could remember, I could also control weather but I couldn't do it very often. I used my magic to clean while I sat and read. I read about anything and everything. I might have only been ten but I was very smart. One day I would get out of this place and start a family of my own where they loved me. As I was reading I came across a very interesting term. "Emancipation?" I read quietly to myself. "To release from paternal care and responsibility, can be done once a wizard reaches the age of ten......" my heart began to race. I could see the sun beginning to rise. "I could do this?" I mumbled, shutting the book and standing up. I heard Ma'am beginning to get up. I shakily made my way over to the fire place. "Incendio." I mumbled, creating a small fire in the fire place. I took a handful of Floo powder and stepped into the fire. "Diagon Alley." I said, throwing the powder down and disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
