I stood their laughting like some super villain for a good 5 min, afterwords I then process to stare at the letter and then giggle like school girl, who just heard a very ossay joke for the first time.
Ok not ashame to say it, I was a big fan back in the day. I meen comme on, who here didn't in the privacy of their room alone, go swinging a wand around chanting spells from the books or movies.
After my initial exictment pass,I started a weird run and skip that had me tryping over mysefl and falling smack down only to get up and do it all over again all the way home. Yes my joy of being a wizard over loaded my mind, my carefully balance 9 years of being a good and well behave child. Was replace by Im going to be a wizard, over and over.
passer by point of view
It a nice day today, the weather is nice and chichi is happy smelling around on are usual walks. Ive lived in this neighbourhood for over 40 years, its a quite little place just 15 min from the city, where just on the outskirts of london close but not to close from the center trafic. Lots of nice normal familly around no trouble makers mind you, well their is this one child odd one, he seem to be so polite all the time never making a racquet kind of creepy if you ask not that I never tell I don't gossip.
I just let the others now how odd he is, because he is kind and polite but just a little off some how, not that ive gossip about it. Ive only talk about it to my close friends, who happen to be about half the old girls around not that we gossip mind you that just not proper.
Hey their he is speeking of the little devil, oh my he has dirt all over him. He must've just role on the ground tisk tisk kids these day Il lets the other know later. How odd what kind run is that is he on the druggs oh my my I let the other know later. Why is he grinning like that must be the druggs oh dear maybe I should call his parents, oh and let the other know about it later.
"Hello! mrs Brown isn't it just to most wonderful day today!" The cross kid said as he zoom pass me.
I follow his progress as I say in a more quite neutral voice "Yes it is little Dallin, say why are you coverd in dirt dear?"
He suddenly stop and look down and it almost seem that he just now notice his dirty clothes. He look up and in a sheepish voice he says.
"Oh Im so sorry I got so exited that I didnt event notice well got to run see you around." He laugths with a wide grin and off he goes.
Oh my, I should let the others know, not that we gossip just as pre caution for that poor child that seem to have lost it. Not that we gossip.
Dallin point of view
I got home open the door close it, looked around I ran to the kitchen looking for my mother didn't see her she must upstair in her reading room. Ran up pop in the room and their is my mother looking up at me, shock and suprise she open her mouth to yell.
"Dallin Cross, what are you doing looking like a beggar I thougth I raise you better then that." She drops her books and rushes to me looking up and down checking for any injuries, when she find none, a soft sigh of relief escapes from her. She then turn to stare right in my eyes cock one eyebrow up "Explaine now." She says in a very sever voice.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
I practically shove the letter in her face. "Look, look Im a wizard." I know not to most coherent of statement but the mantra of Im going to be a wizard is still running in my mind blocking all my sanity for now.
She takes the letter and start to read it, silence greet me a pale look come across her face she looks back at me with a odd expression of pain and sorrow. For the first time my excitement comme to a complete stop. Why is my mother looking at me that way this is the first time ive ever seen her like this.
"Mom whats wrong?" I said, suddenly all my past life years of expirience are finally started to spin again. Its the look of some one that has had not a happy experience about something, did some one hurt my mother with magic? What the hell am I missing here?
She look up at me and tries to smile but I can still see the paine in her eyes. "Oh honey, I think we should call your father rigth now." She get up and walk to the phone, I still confuse on how I went from pure joy to dread, just what is going on?
The phone rings a few times. " Hello, this is mis Cross can you transfer me to my husbans mr Cross." "What this is about. Can you please tell him that this involves his parents and it a emergency about are son and that he need to come home right now, yes thank you ill hold." Silence she turns to me, for the first time I hesitate on going in for a hug Im unsure isf she would take me in her arms or push me away.
I Look up and are eyes meet, for a brief moment I can see hesitation in her eyes. She bites her lower lip in nervousness, she starts lowering her head but stop. Slowly she look up stares at me I not sure what she see but sudenly some light come back in her eyes and some tiers come down and before i know it she hugging me.
"Mommy so sorry baby, Im not mad at you Im so sorry." She holds me close, I return the hug feeling relieve from that sudden moment of hesitation from her. She still loves me despite whatever is going on right now.
"Hello? Sun hey Sun are you their?" My father voice come from the receiver, my mother gives my an apologetic look and grabs the phone.
"I sorry dear, Im here you need to come home now." She says in a tone that left no room for discussion.
"Sun what about my parent?" My father said with a note of concern and is that anger? What the hell. I have grandparents? Ive never seen or heard about them in like nine years? Ok so I didn't ask but still there alive and we've never even met? What im i missing here? This not the direction i thougth me being a wizard would go.
"Dallin he's." My mother started.
"What about Dallin is he ok? Did something happen?" My father started to sound a bit hysterical.
"Calm down, Dallin is here with me, you need to come home and explain your family. Dallin he, well he has magic." After my mother said that, silence on the other side seem to have some kind of weigth to it.
"I be home soon." Clic the voice of my father sounded strange for some reason.
My mother look at me, the warm and love was back in here eyes but their also was some worry as well. She pet my head. "Lets get you clean up before your dad come home all will be explain ok."
"Ok, hey mom are in danger?" I look at her in concern, even if Im a wizard if it come to choosing my family or magic, family wins any time.
"No little one, were not it just that we have a complicated relationship with your grandparents. Don't worry your father will explain, now of to the bath young man." She gently push me in the bath direction, all of my initial joy about being a wizard was replace by confusion. Just what is going on?
