Seeking Light In The Dark

Upside Down

At first I was confused as where our dinner was, but then it magically appeared!There was chicken legs, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, and a lot more! "Wow" I said amused "I know right I was pretty impressed when I first saw" Hermione replied. "Leonora?" Harry said "Yes Harry" "From where did you transfer?" He asked " I transferred from Asuknarts in Switzerland!" I answered. "Really?All the way from Switzerland?" Ron said through a mouth full of food. "Agh Ron, would you please stop talking through a mouth a mouth full of food!" Hermione told Ron. Ron just kept eating, he sure was hungry. "Yes Ron, I did move all the way from Switzerland" I said laughing. "But why?That's so far away?" Asked Ron, I stopped laughing. "Ron, that's too personal" Harry said to Ron. "Oh I am sorry, you don't have to answer that" Ron said ashamed. "Oh its ok!I just hate talking about it" "You see it's quite sad, do you mind if I told you another day;I don't want it ruining the mood" "Oh of course don't feel pressured" Ron said. I smiled at him. "Leonora, how was it at Asuknarts?" Hermione asked changing the subject."It was quite different, Much smaller, a lot less students, and you didn't have to sleep at the school." I replied "It was very close to my house so I went home everyday!" I continued."Wow that sounds amazing!" Hermione said happily.

And before I knew it dinner was over and we were all heading to the Gryfinndor house.We passed a bunch of corridors, and then a lot of staircases. Then we made it, but instead of a door, there was a big picture of a fat lady, "Password?"She asked."Caput Draconis" said(Percy the perfect who lead the Gryfinndor House). The fat lady's picture moved and revealed a door. We all went through, and into a beautiful room. With maroon couches and armchairs. There was also a bulletin board, cozy fire place, globes everywhere, and a giant bookshelf in the back. "Welcome to the Gryfinndor Common room, boys dormitories upstairs and down to your left, girls the same on your right.You'll also find all your belongs have been brought up." Percy told me. "I'll show you your dorm, its 22 right? Hermione said "Yes, and thanks" I replied. As lucky as I was Hermione's dorm is 21 so we were right next to each other. When I saw my dorm I was glad it had a low window, which meant it wouldn't be hard if I ever wanted to sneak out. 

After Hermione left, I took out my grandmothers envelope.There was a key.I didn't know what the key belonged to at first, but then I remembered, the box that my grandma never let me open.Which I lucky had brought with me.I took it out and it opened.Inside were three envelopes.The first one said: 

To: My Dear Little Leonora 

Love your Mother, Nora Slivius.

I couldn't believe my eyes, from my mother, whom had died shortly after I was born.The second envelope said: 

             To: Leonora Silvius

                         From:Your Father, Leo Silvius

And once again I was surprised, because my father passed away when I was at the age of 2. All though I did ask my grandmother once if he had left anything for me when I was about 7,  and she answered "No". And then finally the final envelope said: 

To:My Leonora 

From: Grandma, Zahra

So this must be her will, I Should send it to my uncle tomorrow.Inside was also a small book with pictures of both my parents.And there was another book that had songs by my mother."Just like me" I thought.And  a necklace with both my parents's pictures inside.There was also my mothers journals( from when she was about my age), and love letters from my father and her.At this point, I was sobbing.And I haven't even read any of them. So I decided to sneak out and get some fresh air.I took a small bag, put everything in.I grabbed my broom and guitar (So I could try my mothers songs, and perhaps even write one myself), and even my own journal so i could write about everything, and snuck out of my window.I was looking for a place to walk and found an empty tower.I stopped my broom and got out.I put on the necklace first.Then opened my first letter. It said:

Dear Leonora,

I just found out that I have only a few days left to live.So I am writing you a letter, telling you about somethings(of course not all)!First is your name. Your first name is both mine and your fathers combined (Leo-Nora), your middle name (Amethyst) is mine and your fathers favorite stone.Second is when you were born.You Leonora were born in Autumn (which is my favorite season) November 2nd, at exactly 1 in the morning!I am writing this to you while you are sleeping next me.What a beautiful baby you are.I want you to know that I love you very VERY much.Please live your life, be happy, have fun!You only get to live once my Leonora.I am also leaving you my journals, so I would love for you to read them, if you do u well learn about how I  met your farther.Again I love you very much my Leonora.

                                                                                                                                                                           Love,

                                                                                                                                                                 Your mother Nora

Inside the envelope was also a picture of me as a baby, my mother (who had brown, curly hair and the brightest green eyes), and my father (who had dark black hair and grey eyes).I got my fathers hair color,  and curly hair, and green eyes form my mother.

It was now getting late so I decided to open the other envelopes, and read her journals another day.But before I went back I wanted to write a song and I sang it still sobbing :

"Home, a place where I can go"

"Only I don't have one anymore"

"So, please take me home"

"I don't think I Can do this anymore"

I was now very tired, so I hopped on my broom and went back to my dorm.I cried myself to sleep that night.But when I woke up that morning I realized that I had forgotten my journal on the tower.That journal had very personal things in there, so I hopped on my broom.Still in my pajamas, and went to the tower.I was hoping so hard that no one found it, but someone did because when I  went back there it was gone.

I went back to my dorm got dressed quickly and headed to the Great Hall, I spotted Hermione, Ron, Harry, and another boy I didn't know."Leonora!" Hermione exclaimed "Where have you been, I knocked on your door this morning.But you didn't answer so I was worried and opened it, and you weren't there so I assumed you were here already." She continued."Oh this is Cedric Diggory "Said harry gestured to the boy on his left (who had hazel eyes and light brown hair) "Hello" the boy said. But I wasn't answering or listening to anything. "Are you alright?" Hermione asked sounding concerned.I had to tell someone what happened, so I told them.Leaving out what was in the letter, and that my parents and grandmother died."Oh no"Said Hermione ."I have to find that journal" I replied. "We can help you look for it during lunch" Answered Cedric with a sympathetic smile. "Thank you Cedric, and its a pleasure to meet you" I replied with a sad smile.But just then I saw Malfoy and his minions enter, and the blonde girl had my journal in her hands...Reading it out loud, and laughing.
