I'm feeling really sad today. I..I don't know what the word is. M-miss? Yeah, that's the one. I've never missed anything before. But I wish I was back at Hogwarts. I mean, HOGWARTS! How could I miss that place? Maybe I just miss Miranda and..even..even...K- yuck...KAL! It makes me wanna kill someone. More than normal. Matt's sleeping, so I sneak out of the window. I sprint using my vampire speed around the island. Birds chirp and animals make all sorts of noises around me. Even though I miss my friends, I feel so...so..free. I've never been free, I mean, I was born into being a Death Eater. Nobody ever asked if I wanted to be, or if I even wanted Voldemort as my Dad. Of course, I do, but, my feelings and thoughts aren't important back at home. My dad always said, "Your role is to sit, learn the Dark Arts, and keep your mouth shut about me and your mother's existence.." He never asked if I wanted to do this or that. It was always whatever he, mom, or even Demon says goes. "Thought I'd find you here." A voice says from behind me. I turn, suddenly alert and my forearm across my older brother's throat, pushing him to a tree. "Oh! Um, Demon, I'm sorry...Uh, please don't tell dad, I didn't mean to, I'm sor-" Demon cuts me off. "Parvati. It's ok." He says. I look at my feet. "I want to show you something." He says. "Maybe it will make you..H-happy." He says. The word 'Happy' is foreign to him. Demon, being the oldest, or..um, 2nd oldest..but technically the oldest now, is expected to be the perfect Death Eater. "Ok." Is all I say. He reaches 2 fingers out to me. "May I?" He asks. I nod, and he puts his fingers to my temples

Hogwarts, 4th year, Great Hall

"Hey, Matt!" I said. I kissed Matt. "Ew," Ocean said and rolled her eyes. "What?! Love is love!" Kal exclaimed. "I'm not an idiot. But I don't wanna see any of that COW POOP!" Ocean said. "That’s offensive! Stop it Ocean!" Miranda exclaimed. "Go kiss your rock, Khan." Demon said and I laughed. Miranda had gone to the Yule Ball in my 4th year with her rock. "All these years and you still don't even LIKE Miranda!" Ocean said and chuckled. "Oh, you wanna go?!?!" Miranda said and tackled Demon, smashing his plate into a million pieces. Kal smiled. "Either way, the most romantic thing that has happened between Me and Ocean is when I gave her a Cheez Doodle!" (I can now say, years into the future, that this is NOT true)" Oh, I wish I could say the same... But I kinda can’t…" I said. "Um, yeah, we all know," Ocean said. I rolled my eyes. "Actually, Ocean was the only one who knew about that until now." I said, getting irritated. "I also knew something," Kal muttered, just loud enough for me to hear. "OH DON’T EVEN! THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO APPARATE WHICH YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW! YOU TRIED TO GET INTO THE HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE BUT TELEPORTED INTO THE SLYTHERIN GIRLS DORM!" I yelled. "I'm one of the first younger Hufflepuff with that achievement," Kal said, completely calm. "And also, that was completely untrue. It was only because I was a Dolphin, and I was teleported into Ava Bones’ cup of water. Oh, the expression on her face." "Oh, I saw that." Ocean said. "yeah, me too." said Matt. "What was it?" I asked. Matt imitates Ava's face. "BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed. "BTW, Matt, I need to tell you something." "OoOoOoOoH," Ocean said. "Shut it Ocean! His mother is sick! Get it right! Assuming is totally un-schway!" I yelled. (I don't know why I was obsessed with using the word "schway" as "cool") We left the room. I thought that was the whole memory, but Demon is showing me more. Mooranda walked in the room. (That's what we called Miranda whenever she was in cow form.)"MOO!" She said. Kal looked at her skeptically. Miranda turns human. "SOMEONE. PRANKED. ME!" She said. My brother pipes up. Not Demon, but of course, the prankster who ripped my dress, Alex. I've never seen this memory. It doesn't look very important, so I'm surprised Demon even remembered it. "It was I. Alexander the Great!" Alex said. "Since when are YOU good at history? Last I checked, you didn’t even know who Alexander the Great is, AND, last I checked, you didn’t know what 1+1 is." Kal said. "What do you mean?! 1+1 is CLEARLY 11!" Alex exclaimed. "Stop insulting my baby brother." Demon said, even though Alex and I are only 1 year younger than him."Grrrrr." Alex growled. "Ahhh!" Kal said sarcastically. "That 'Grrrr' was for Demon calling me him baby brother," Alex said. "And I better RUN!" Demon said and ran out of the room. I had forgotten that Demon had a small funny side when we were younger. That has been extinguished by Mr. Voldemort, the firefighter that you can always count on for extinguishing spreading happiness.

Present time, Aldabra's beach

Demon take his 2 fingers off my temples and I look at him. Those times were simpler, I thought. Demon seemed to have read my mind. "Yes they were." He says, smiles at me in the creepy way dad does, and apparates, probably back to the mansion. I sigh and sit on the sand
