56. Fight Pre-Hogwarts
Nine year old Christopher hit the ground hard, mulch cutting into his palms. Crowds of children watched as a smaller group of kids laughed and jeered at the upset young boy. "Look! James' hair changed again! Freak!" yelled the leader, a bully named Maxwell.
The frightened boy looked upward at his now blue locks in horror. "Leave him alone!" screamed a pretty young girl, running to help her friend.
Maxwell stepped back, amused. "I'll spare you in front of your little girlfriend, but tomorrow, you're mine. Fight. Here. Noon."
Christopher gulped. Being him in this town was a living hell.
