Magic
By: Alana Potter
It is a strange word with an even stranger power. To normal witches and wizards it isn't that weird or mysterious, but to someone like me, it is the strangest word around. That one little word holds everything in its letters and in its meaning. See I'm nine years old and my twin sister has been showing signs of magic since we were six. For two years now she has sent dolls flying across a room or got mad at someone and had the silverware zoom off the table. Every day I ask my mother, father, stepmother, and papa Cossy where my magic is. It has been missing for two years now. I try to find it daily. I focus and close my eyes, I concentrate on an object and what I want it to do, and I have even searched around the house for it like it is just a toy missing. It is still missing though and I am stuck watching my friends and my sister find theirs. They are all excited about finding theirs. They even show off on the playground at school.
The worst part of the entire thing is I'm a pureblood. My mother was one of the top witches in her class and my father is the head of the primary school I go to. My brothers are both professional quidditch players, my stepfather is one of the best potion masters and even ran for the minister of magic. There is no way I couldn't get my magic. I'm positive it has just gotten lost somehow or was stolen. Maybe someone was trying to sabotage my step father's campaign so they stole my magic. Now that the campaign is over and he still lost you would think this person would bring it back. I feel like I have looked everywhere.
If I was magic where would I hide? This is a question I ask all the time. The longer I go without my magic the more I worry that it will be lost forever. My mom tells me that sometimes it just never comes, that it is lost forever. I don't believe that, not for me at least. Every single person in my family has magic and good with it. Every single person has a wand and Elisa and I will be getting wands soon. I have to find my magic before it is time for Hogwarts. I wrote a letter to the minister the other day;
Dear Minister of Magic,
I think there was a mess up with magic. See my twin sister Elisa got hers when we were six and has been able to use it since. Mine for some reason has been lost or stolen. If you could please send Aurors to my house to help me find it I would greatly appreciate it. I think I found a possible suspect the other day, though. Helena, my youngest sister was mad at me the other day and sent a toy truck at my head. I'm thinking she'd be a good first person to look at for stealing magic.
Sincerely,
Alana Potter
"Alana you can't bother the minister with this letter. Sweetheart your magic will come if it is supposed to. Your sister did not steal it." my mother said to me when I tried to owl the letter. "We have been through this honey, sometimes people for some reason just don't get their magic, but that doesn't make them any less special." I hate to tell her, but it does. I'm different from them if I can't find my magic. So I am going to keep looking for it. It will be found and when I find the person that stole it from me I will be putting them in timeout for three million years.
