The Boy Who Lived

It is wednesday today, but mum didn't go to work and take a leave. We stay at home as I have already drop from my primary school as a precautios step so that we don't got any trouble. Its only two week more till I finally go to Hogwarts. Its make me excited and scared at the same time.

I'm sitting on the floor, looking at all the books for my school later. As I check all of it, I found many fascinating title and one of them is Hogwarts:A History.

As I open and read the book, it says many things such as how Hogwarts is built in first place. As I read more, I found out about Hogwarts School founder.

Its include two wizard which is Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin and two witches that is Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. Their names have been taken as the houses in Hogwarts.

As I read each houses about, I finally remember I have seen this animals on Hogwart's logo on my letter.

I stand up and rushed to my desk as I wanna see it again. I've put the letter on my pink pastel diary as I consider it as a beautiful memory.

I look at the envelope and saw the same logo. A smile curled on my lips, now one of the question on my mind have been answered.

I sit back at my previous place and see the book again and then the letter. The first one is Gryffindor, its symbolize loyalty, braveness and courageos with King Lion as the representetive of this house. It use a red colour as their symbol.

As I flip to the next page, it shows a Ravenclaw houses that using a blue colour. A true Ravenclaw are known for their Intelligence, cleverness and wit. They use Wise Eagle as their mascot fo house.

As I move my eyes below, I saw The Hufflepuff house. The Hufflepuff make patient,hard-working and fair as their identity with a bright yellow colour as their symbolic for house. The innocent Badget, is what their house use for mascot.

I flip the pages again and my eyes lingering and looking closely at the Snake and saw it is the last house, Slytherin. A real Slytherin have great leadership, cunning and very ambitious. They are known for their rare mascot,snake. The dark green colour is use as their house colour. Most of Slytherin's student are proud of their house.

I then keep reading the book, it never bored as I found many new yet fascinating things that related to Hogwarts. One of my favourite fact in this book is, the ceiling on Hogwarts is bewitched to look like a night sky. I can't wait to see how that trick done on the ceiling. I became impatient after reading it more.

Suddenly I was interrupted by my mother, knocking on my bedroom door. I stands up and quickly open the door, founding my mum standing infront me with a basket full of dirty clothes.

"Go and get your clothes,I need to wash them" Mum said before putting the basket on floor with a sigh left her mouth.

"Alright, maam" I said as I bring my clothes to mum and help her fill it on the basket.

"What are you doing?" She asked me,raising her eyebrows. She wiped out her sweat on her forehead.

"Just giving my book a closer look" I said as I pointing all the book, messed on the floor.

She shake her head and let out a small grin. Before she leave my bedroom, she glance at me again.

"Make sure you tidy up your room and make sure them clean after this" She said before head downstair.

I rush back to my place and giving the Hogwarts: A History book one more read before closing it. I put it aside and scan for another books.

That's when I saw one of the book that catch my interest. Modern Magical  History. I read the book silently as it really take my interest.

I found out that Wizarding World, have been over one great war before this. I saw a mention of one of the greatest terrorist such as Gellert Grindelwald but have been taken down by The greatest Wizard, Albus Dumbledore.

That is when I remember Professor McGonagall said that our principal in Hogwarts is Professor Albus Dumbledore. Knowing he is such a great wizard,I can't seem to wait to meet him.

I read it again until I saw one name that catch my interest the most.

"Harry Potter" I mumble on my breath as I read his story.

"He's known as the boy who lived.His parents were killed by a dark wizard, The One Who Must Not be Named, Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter is one and only person that ever escape and alive from Him. "

My brow furrow as I read the story again.Its kinda familiar, just like I ever heard this story before.

Then my mind filled by this Lord Voldemort. I tried to search about him and finally found it after searching for a while.

"The One Who Must Not Be Name, Lord Voldemort is one of the fearless wizard of all the time. He have killed many innocent people and most of them are muggles. His follower, called as Death Eater are the one who help him in his mission on being the Greatest Wizard in All Time. However, In 1981, this dark Wizard have been dissappear with unknown reason. The last victim of him is James Potter and his wife, Lily Potter. In all time,only one person ever escaped from him alive and known as the boy who lived, Harry James Potter. "

I gasped after finish reading it. This He Who Must Not Be Named is very cruel and a very bad person. He killed muggles is what makes me scared the most. After hearing Mr.Ollivander said I am muggle, am I going to be hated at school? Or is it just that Dark Wizard weird perspective.

I shake my head to stop thinking about it. Ever since I'm in my primary school, people have been good to me. I'm sure this time it'll be too. I hope everyone in Hogwarts is as good as Professor McGonagall.

Suddenly my stomach growled.I chuckled a little as I remember I haven't eat yet, the last one is breakfast. Mum ask me to eat but I'm just got into all the books too much, making me feel like today's time move faster.

I check the clock on my wall, it show 7.00 pm. I yawned a little and proceed to stacking all the books on my small white shelves. Then I sweep my floor and tidying up my bed. After finish and sure that my room is neat and clean, I walk out and headed to downstairs.

As I reach the floor, my eyes fell on my dad who is sitting on the couch, watching television. I quietly sneek behind him, trying to not making any sound before I shouted right on his ear that makes him fell from the couch and directly to the floor.

I giggle as he rub his arms with an angry face.He then stand up, staring at me and sit on the couch back, without another single words.

My face expression change as I felt that he might in a bad mood and the fact that he'll might mad at me. I slowly walking to him with a guilty expression on my face.

He ignore me and continue watching the television. My eyes already watering as I feel that I might end up crying. But then suddenly someone grab me before hug me tightly.

"Got you!!" Dad said as he started tickling me on ny armpits, making me laugh. He move his hand on my stomach before on my bare foot.All the sad expression on my face now turn to be a happy one.

"Say the word" He mumble as he still hold me tightly. I giggle a little before answering him.

"No"

I said with a playful voice. He chuckled a little before tickling me again, making me laughing louder.

"I love you dad!" I finally shouted as I can't hold the feel anymore. Its making me breathless as I kept laughing. He giggle and let me go before gesturing me to sit next to him.

"You should know better who you're facing with, honey" He said with a proud smile on his face. I chuckled a little before pulling his arms and hug it.

"Yeah, I'm facing doctor teeth" I said with a grin. He smile at me before taking some popcorn and feeding himself. I did the same and our eyes landed on the television, watching quietly before laughing together as the funny scene come out.

"Have some cake" Mum suddenly sit right next to me before putting a cut of chocolate brownies cake infront of me.I smile at her before pulling her hand to hug.

"Can I eat that, you know it's not good for teeth" I said with a smirk. She smile before rolling her eyes.

"For this night,yes you can"She said with a grin.I smile and quickly cut the cake with spoon and feeding myself. It felt so yummy and tasty, its just feel so good to eat something sweet.

As I'm continuing eating, I suddenly remember about that young boy. His story kinda same with the one mum told me.

"Mum, I've read one story that is very similiar with the one you told me" I said and looking straight to her eyes. She raise her eyebrows in confuse.

"About that young boy whose parents were killed by dark wizard, I guess his name is Harry Potter" I finish my sentence with a straight face. She looks confuse at first but then her face looks relax again.

"Did you read it in one of those books?" She said and I nodded.

"It called Modern Magical History" I said as I felt dad tapping my shoulder.

"Can I read it?" He said as he get interested.I smile before nodded at him.

"Its just they mention the killer name too, his name is Lord Voldemort. But its also say that He Who Must Not Be Named. "

I said with a confuse expression. I just don't know why people wouldn't want to say his name.Is he that evil that he will kill anyone who call his name? I gulped at the thought.I've mention his name twice.

"Maybe he is too evil?" She said confirming that she have the same thought with me. It makes me scared but I'm sure he can't touch us,my dad will protect me.

"Don't care too much, He won't touch you. I promise I won't let him" Dad said as he play with my hair. I smile at him before tightening my hug on their hands.

"Let's have dinner, you must be hungry" Mum said as she stand up, pulling my hand.I nodded with a smile. Dad follow us later.

We enjoy eating spaghetty tonight with chattering and laughing.

We enjoy our night together and I clear my minds from thinking about that poor boy again. But it seems didn't work. I'm just curious, where is he right now?
