I made my way across the school grounds, dashing past the frozen lake, which glinted like chunk of diamond in the afternoon sun. It was a week after I had returned from my disasterous trip to my childhood home, and I was running late for my favourite subject; Transfiguration. I waded through the sparkling, ankleContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 20”

For a while, everything seemed to go back to the way it was before, settling in to a picture of somewhat normality. I would tease Ivan and Selena about their not-so secret crush on each other as their faces would turn the colour of Sirius’s scarlet sludge bombs back at home. Our lessons became moreContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 19”

I shot up in bed. My whole body was dreched in a cold sweat, and I was trembling. My dark, matted hair wafted around my pale face, reminding me of the streams of dark magic in my dream. I gulped and took a shaky breath. I had to calm down. This was to much forContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 18:”

I lay in my bed, curled up under the covers and reading by the light of a torch. I tried to enjoy the book, but my mind kept straying, forming thoughts and putting them together like the pieces of a puzzle, yet I couldn’t quite see the bigger picture. I tried to figure out whatContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 17”

Hours passed by. I sat, staring out at the peaceful vallies and rocky countryside as they drifted by, but my mind had wandered elsewere. My eyes were glazed and unfocused as I sank deeper into my ponderings. Though it may seem silly, part of me was still set on that dream. Something bothered me aboutContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 16”

I woke to the sound of birds chirping. I was coated in a thin curtain of glittering dewdrops which dampened my clothes and made me shiver in the cool morning breeze. Slowly, my eyelids fluttered open and sunlight flooded my vision. Eventually, the blinding light faded and I realised that I was sprawled on theContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 15”

The walk back felt longer than last time. With each step, the urge to curl up into a ball and cry grew inside me, but I trudged on. After what felt like hours, I arrived at the train station. It was empty, the only inhabitants being a pair of barn owls roosting on the roof.Continue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 14”

A cool wind blew. My cloak billowed out behind me like ghost in the night. Everything was submerged in darkness, but I could just make out the shapes of tall buildings stretching up towards the heavens like great pillars holding up the sky. Squinting, I noticed the bright red phone-box Ivan and I had spedContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 13”

A week after I received the letter informing me of my parent’s sudden death, I was ready to leave. Selena, Ivan and a handful of other friends had gathered at the gates to bid me fair- well, although I had told them that it was only for a few days and that they didn’t haveContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 12”

The rest of the year went by in a flash. I spent most of my time studying for next year, when I was supposed to do my OWLs. Me and Selena had become fast friends, usually going down to the Black Lake with Ivan in our spare time. Selena had a slight crush on IvanContinue reading “The Secret Twin: Chapter 11”
