I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, my copy of Hogwarts a History discarded on the floor. I was imagining returning to school in a few days and telling everyone my name, writing my name on papers. Could I get away with still writing Granger? Or would I be forced to use me new legal name? Cresseida Narcissa Greengrass, I mumble over and over again. My face still hurts from were Astoria slapped me and I'm almost 100% sure there is a red mark. A red mark, I jump off the bed a rummage around in my suitcase looking for my muggle camera. Once I've found it I stand in front of the large mirror and snap a picture of my cheek. I have to get this from my parents. Without thinking I head towards the window and jump.
Well not jump as in plummet towards the ground but to the tree next to my window. From there I scale down the tree and take off sprinting towards the gate. I grip onto the iron bars and hoist myself up. I hear a rip and turn to unsnag myself to find, Adella gripping my now ripped shirt.
"where are you going" She hisses
"away, back home now let go" I beg, "do it for a sister"
"you are no sister of mine. I wish you would go but my mother seems intent on keeping you here" She says harshly yanking me down of the gate. I collapse on top of her. She still has a firm grasp on my shirt, she yanks me up and forces my back towards the garden door. She drops the bunch of flowers she had been clutching to get a better grasp on me. I check my pocket to make sure the photograph is still there, Adella doesn't seem to appreciate my sudden loss if speed as she jerks me harder, pulling me into the mansion, and down the hall to my room. She shoves me inside locking all the windows in my room using several spells I do not know.
"Fallon will bring you some tea shortly." She says grabbing my owl from the desk and walking out, locking the door again.
As promised Fallon arrives shortly with some tea.
"Fallon" I cry rushing up to him, "I need help". He sets down the tea and sits on my bed.
"There is not much I can do it would get us both in trouble, but shoot anyway," He says lounging on my bed.
"I need you to get a letter out to my mum and dad," I say handing him the picture which was taped to a note.
"now that I can do," Fallon says smiling wryly before locking me back in the room.
