Episode 4 - Tale of 2 Wands --------------------------------------- [̲T̲h̲e̲ ̲M̲y̲s̲t̲e̲r̲y̲:̲]̲ Skye awoke, staring at Ethelinda snoring beside her. ''Hey!, Get up will you!'' screamed Skye. ''H-huh..? O-oh, hey Skye,'' replied Ethelinda in confusion. ''It's the weekend, so no classes!'' cheered Skye in delight, ''c'mon lets go to the Great Hall for breakfast.'' ''Ok,'' mumbled Ethelinda. As they trotted down The Grand Staircase, they both stared at the thousands of moving paintings on the walls. ''I'm still so confused about how they do that,'' said Skye in awe. ''Yep, a mystery never revealed,'' laughed Ethelinda and Skye as they carried on down the stairs, but they were soon stopped by Dara Chang again, who was seen wearing a white cardigan and jeans. ''Hey, family-dissapointer,'' laughed Dara and her group of Gryffindor friends that stood beside the wall, ''are you still wanting to be little Voldy's friend over here.'' ''N-no? wait, what do you mean by 'Voldy?' '' Skye asked. ''Are you dumb or something? Your 'so-called' friend over here is literally THE DAUGHTER of Voldermort.'' Dara teased. ''W-what...'' Skye thought, then Ethelinda ran off, flooding with tears and Skye chased after her. ''Are you ok?, How come you never told me this?'' Skye asked. ''Look. People are starting to spread these rumors that I'm the Daughter of Voldermort. Ok? Because my father used to be a d-death.. you know what! Just, I don't know where it even started. Its even happening in the wizarding world.'' said Ethetlinda ''O-oh...I'm sorry Ethetlinda, but I'm here for you, ok? I just never knew that...'' ''No need to be. C'mon lets just have some breakfast for once.'' * * * * [̲M̲i̲n̲i̲s̲t̲r̲y̲ ̲f̲o̲r̲ ̲M̲a̲g̲i̲c̲ ̲-̲ ̲H̲a̲r̲r̲y̲'̲s̲ ̲O̲f̲f̲i̲c̲e̲:̲]̲ Harry paced about, feeling more nervous by the minute. He was the Head of the Auror Department. ''Everything ok dear?'' asked Ginny. ''No, apparently Voldermort's creatures after the Battle of Hogwarts have left traces of arrival at hogwarts,'' Harry replied. ''Oh. Then that's not good,'' Ginny sighs. Then a man with Ginger hair walks in. His name is Ronald Weasley. ''Hey. Harry. Letter from Skye,'' he says, handing the rolled up piece of parchment to him. Harry unrolls it and examines the writing. ''What? Skye's been sorted into Slytherin,'' he says, dumbfounded by this. Ginny also reads the letter. ''How? James hasn't, but why Skye? Well, I guess it doesn't matter, does it?'' ''No,'' replies Harry, ''it doesn't... Wait! How can she be friends with Ethelinda Malfoy?! She is the daughter of Draco! No. We must tell her no. Ginny, please pass me a piece of parchment and ink.'' ''On it','' she says. Harry then hurriedly scribbled down a paragraph of writing onto it : ❝ Dear Skye, I have read your letter and I'm sorry for what has happened so far, just know that we are still fine with it. However, regarding your other matter, you can't be friends with Ethelinda Malfoy. Look, I know that she is your best friend, but trust me she is dangerous ok? Just please promise me you won't go near her again. You must understand what I am trying to say. This is important. I will make sure that Professor McGonagall will make this happen. She will inform me if you break my rules. It's for your safety. Anyways I am looking forward to see you at Christmas. From Dad & Mum ❞ Harry then rushes to the mail department and sends the letter off on a brown-feathered owl. * * * * [̲T̲h̲e̲ ̲F̲o̲r̲b̲i̲d̲d̲e̲n̲ ̲F̲o̲r̲e̲s̲t̲:̲]̲ It was a chilly, autumn Sunday, the air was crisp, and the sky was dull. Skye and Ethelinda were outside, and soon the brown-feathered owl swooped over her head, dropped the letter from it's claws and left. Skye caught it with her hands and read it. She dared not to show Ethelinda the upsetting news. But it was too late, Ethelinda had already saw the words in bold, black ink: ''SHE IS DANGEROUS'' "I knew it.'' Ethetlinda ran off, the same words ringing in her mind. Were she really the true daughter of Voldermort then? Skye started to run and follow her, but Ethelinda screamed at the top of her lungs: ''LEAVE ME!'' ''N-no, p-please, forget my dad, he's alwyys like this, j-just come back!'' stammered Skye, as tears brewed up in her eyes. ''NO!'' and Ethelinda left Skye. Soon enough, Ethelinda was seen running towards the Forbidden Forest, which was gloomy, and eerie in its state. It was off-bounds, so why was she going there? Skye followed on, pleading for Ethelinda to come back. Reluctantly, she listened and told Skye: ''Who cares about what you dad says? We are meant for eachother and nothing's gonna break us apart! So cmon lets go in that Forest and find out why I'm the so-called Voldy's daughter!'' Skye was taken by her abundance of confidence, and hate towards her father. She didn't care though, as he was always willing to boss people around. Then the words slipped from her mouth: ''Fine, I'm coming.'' They stepped into another dark,mysterious venture...
