Lucy's POV

I watch the birds fly outside on my bedroom while tuning my guitar. My Aunt Emmie went somewhere to buy foods for my birthday, and yes its my b-day today, while I'm here composing a new song. You see, that's my hobby besides reading books, singing and composing.

Music helps me relax and there's nothing else I can do. Unless If I go outside and make friends, but that will never happen because they see me as a freak.

*Flashback:*

One day, when me and my friend are playing, a chubby boy approaches us and seizes my toy.

"Hey! Give it back, its mine!" I said.

"Yours? Well it's mine now!" The chubby boy exclaimed. Then he shove me hard and I land on my butt. I saw the boy laughing. If looks could kill, he'll be dead right now. Then what happened next is the worst day of my entire life.

The boy's tummy grew larger and larger until its a size of a big balloon. He started to call his mummy.

"Mummy! Mum! Aahh! " I just froze on the spot on the ground. I can't believe my eyes.

"My son! Who did this to you?!" The boy points his finger at me. The woman glance at me.

Then what happened next is quite predictable.

*Flashback Ended:*

Anyway, one bird caught my eye. It's an owl. On a broad daylight. With a letter. And it's coming this way. I took the letter from the bird's beak and it flew away. I shrugged. I read it aloud,

I jump on my spot when I heard the doorbell rings. When I open the door, I saw the strangest and most ancient man I've ever seen. He has a long silvery white beard, purple robes and a twinkle in his blue eyes.

"Good Evening, Miss Conner. May I come in please? Don't worry, I know your Aunt Emmie." The Ancient Man said on a soft yet old voice.

"O-of Course." I stuttered. I don't know why but I think I can trust him. I lead him to our living room and gave him a seat which he gladly take.

"I assume that your letter has come to you in time? My name is Albus Dumbledore and I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. It's a school where young witches and wizards is taught how to perform spells and enchantments properly, by a wand of course!" Then he took a stick thing that he called a wand and mutter words that I don't quite understand. He pointed it at a table then the table became a pig! My jaw dropped.

Professor dumbledore chuckled at my expression. "Did you know your parents are wizards, too? " He asked.

"Um...No. I only know they died because someone killed them." I answered sadly.

"I'm glad your Aunt informed you about them. When the time is right, you will know more about your past but I must be going. It's nice meeting you, Ms. Conner. " He said.

"It's nice meeting you, too sir! " I exclaimed.

" Oh, and one more thing, you can get your school supplies at Diagon alley. Your aunt knows where to go. " He said.

" My aunt knew that I'm a witch? And she never told me?! " I asked.

" She wanted to tell you but she's waiting for the right time when you turn 11. " He answered. I look down. ' That's why she's not surprised when the boy said that I made his tummy grew larger.' I thought.

When I look up, Professor dumbledore is gone. But my aunt is staring at me. " I suppose you already know? Oh, dear, I'm sorry I just want your 11th b-day to be perfect! " She sobbed.

" Its alright, I understand. Are you a witch, too? " I asked hopefully.

" No, I'm not, but I know everything about magic, your mother taught me. And next week, we'll get your school supplies on Diagon Alley. " She said. I nodded, wordlessly.

After a while, " I am a witch!! I'm not a freak! Hoo! " I cheered. I can't wait to go to Diagon alley.

Aunt emmie gave me a golden locket with an unusual crest design on it for a gift.

"Your mother gave it to you. Beautiful isn't?" She asked.

"Yes, it's so beautiful. Thanks!" I thanked and hug her.

"But also, I have something for you. This," She showed me a big picture frame. There's a woman who I'm guessing is my mother holding a baby and there's a man whose arm is around the shoulders of the woman.

My vision is becoming blurry by my tears as I gaze at the picture. I smiled at my aunt.

"Thank You so much, you don't how happy I am!" I said.

"You're welcome, Dear. Now, let's eat!" She happily said. We're currently eating our ice cream.

"Aunt Emmie?"

"Yes?" She asked.

"Who killed my parents?" I hesitantly asked.

My question probably shocked her 'cause she dropped her spoon.

"Oh, I guess you need to know." She sighed. "Deatheaters. They are the followers or supporters of you-know-who." She said.

"You-know-who?"

"Yes, he's an evil wizard who wanted to rule the wizarding world and gain power. His name is Voldemort. But no one dared to say his name, they fear him but he's dead now. I don't know how but I'm glad he is." She explained quietly.

Now, I'm in my bedroom gazing at the stars. There's too many things I found out. But I'm happy that I know something about my past. It relieves me. I started to sing a random song:

Always you will be part of me

And I will forever feel your strength

When I need it most

Youre gone now, gone but not forgotten

I cant say this to your face

But I know you hear

Ill see you again

You never really left

I feel you walk beside me

I know Ill see you again

When Im lost, when Im missing you like crazy

I tell myself Im so blessed

To have had you in my life, my life

Chorus:

Ill see you again

You never really left

I feel you walk beside me

I know Ill see you again

When I had the time to tell you

Never thought Id live to see the day

When the words I should have said

Would come to haunt me

In my darkest hour I tell myself

Ill see you again

Ill see you again

You never really left

I feel you walk beside me

I know Ill see you again

Someday I'll see you again

Ill see you again

You never really left

I feel you walk beside me

I know Ill see you again

I'll see you again

Ill see you again

I miss you like crazy

Youre gone but not forgotten

Ill never forget you

Someday Ill see you again

I feel you walk beside me

Never leave you, yeah

Gone but not forgotten

I feel you by my side

No this is not goodbye

Then I fell asleep dreaming about my parents and hogwarts.
