"Lorea,wash these apples and put them on table,and come and help me with this recipe".Aunt Luna called her.
"Yes aunt luna,I am coming"lorea replied her while dreaming about that boy next door and what she will ask him when they will meet again.
At 9:00 PM,somebody knocked the door.
To everyone's great surprise lorea quickly ran for opening door.
There was a boy ,around 17 years of age,black shiny hair,tall and healthy ,was standing in front of her with a bouquet of tulips.
"Come in boy,welcome to our house.."Aunt luna called him in and asked him to sit on sofa and ordered lorea to go and fetch some snacks for him.
When she came out of kitchen,she heard him talking and telling that he is friend of Sam,and they are in same class.and his name is manny.
Well I am sorry ,I forgot to mention about Sam
Sam,my aunt's son,17 years ago,tall,healthy,slightly fat boy but contrastically different personality than her mom,he was warmhearted and helped lorea a lot.she always thought him as his favourite big brother.
Soon after that,lorea came with a plate full of cookies and juices.
Aunt luna asked her to come in kitchen as she needs some help.
"Why didn't you tell her about us ?"asked manny.
"I want you to tell her as she will believe only if she will hear from someone else".told sam.
Lorea heard them talking when she was coming downstairs to tell them about dinner,and started wondering to whom they want to tell and what.
As soon as she entered the room ,they stopped talking and manny told her that she is so cute and pretty.
This was something lorea wanted to hear..and second time after long period she smiled as brightly she can and told him in her sweet voice "thankyou bro".and ran upstairs as fast as she can.
Both manny and sam started looking at her surprisingly.
Sam took manny upstairs to a room with a big dining table filled with many dishes like roasted duck,beef soup,waffles,fruits etc.
"Come in boy,sit down,have some dinner"aunt luna said in her sweet voice that was quite a surprise for lorea.
Soon the family had dinner and went downstairs for further talking but then sam told her mom that he wants to show his room to manny.and they both came upstairs.
At the corner of big verandah was room of sam,filled with many toys ,sports cups,and a large crystal ball.
After sometime sam called lorea"lorea come here"
Well lorea was waiting eagerly for this moment since so long.
When she entered she found them holding a crystal ball almost size of a football.
"Sit down and listen to me quietly."told manny
Her heart started pounding rapidly as this is what she exactly wanted..to talk to him.
"Lorea listen carefully,I have known you since you were born.i know it's your first time seeing me but I have known you a long time before.i know you are in a very young age to understand this situation but still you should know this truth.Actually I am your father's student actually we both are.Me and sam.Your father he was the headmaster of a Torrendous school of magic.
I know you must be thinking that their is no such thing as magic but it's true.
Torrendous school of magic is a renowned school famous for developing many great witches and wizards.It's a school made for students who are different.
Have you ever thought something different happening to you when you feel sad or angry.It's because you have that gene of magic in you.
The night your father was murdered was a very important day for him as he developed a lotion which can help bring prosperity and luck.and he was trying to get it distributed among poor and needy people and for that many teachers of school were against of him.
But he was such a kindhearted person that he stepped out of his position and told them that he will continue this serving.
Now,on night that potion also went missing and me and sam both are trying to find out what happened on that day so we wanted to ask about it whether you know something."
"Lorea,lorea are you listening me."..asked manny.
Lorea was quiet surprised listening to that story as she always thought her parents were some teacher in some great school and she never thought something called magic exists in real world but then she remembered how a rabbit came and disappear on on one night and how she was the only one survived and how sometimes she feels something strange happening around her.
"Lorea,manny,sam come down and have some fruits.."aunt luna called.
They both went downstairs leaving lorea alone as they thought she needed some time to think about this absurd situation.
A girl who just lost her parents,started living with unknown family,this was another blow on her.
But she stayed strong and started thinking about everything again lying on her bed in her room,which was much smaller than Sam's room and only had one cupboard and table on which was a picture of her family.
At around 12 midnight sam knocked her door and came inside.
"My little sisoo,I know it's something unbelievable but trust me we are here for you."and he hugged her tightly and lorea started crying.
At that moment she realized life will not be same for her and she has to become stronger to catch that culprit.
"Bro..teach me please and I will also help you guys."
"No,you are too small for this,on night your parent died 4 other founding families were also killed .whoever it is,he is very powerful wizard with no humanity at all."
"But bro it's about my parents,my whole life changed the moment that incident happened.and I know something about that culprit but I won't tell you unless you teach me"
"Don't be stupid sisoo,it's very dangerous,ok but if you insist I will ask manny about it as he is our captain."
"Now sleep and don't think about doing anything stupid..good night"
Saying this he went back to his room.
As soon he went back,lorea again heard that similar voice and this time it was very near..she became afraid and started shivering but gathered courage and went downstairs.Room was very dark but she somehow managed to reach till entrance door.
As soon she opened the door,a strong wind hit her face as it slapped her.
She then and there sat down and started crying quietly as she was afraid culprit might hear her.
"What are you doing on doorsteps..hurry up ..go inside and sleep"manny was standing in front of her with angry and worried face
"Sorry bro,I just heard...
"What did you heard?something about..."
"No,no I guess it was a cat"
She knew the moment she tell about voice ,they will not teach her anything.
"Go inside and sleep,it's dangerous to be alone outside."
"Bye bro,good night"
"Bye!!"
She went inside ,mind filled with curiosity, anger and fear she laid down on bed and slept thinking what surprises will wait for her tomorrow and how she gonna face them.
What will happen tomorrow, will she be admitted with that team,why is she hearing those noises??
