It was early in the morning,  the sun was barely rising in the sky. It still had traces of the night that had passed, within it, a dark sky and some stray stars twinkled above a horizon that was starting to turn red. The peacefull silence that accompanied this perfect picture got roughly disturbed by the sound of an alarm. Almost immediately the alarmclock got blastes into the wall as a wand had pointed at the helpless object.  Still smoldering after the blast it had given up in it duty to wake up its owner. It has however succeed in his last call as his owner trew the blanked of her body and swinged her legs out of the bed. Ceres smiled as she realized what day it was again, the first day of her last year at Howards. She jumped out of bed and took a quick cold shower before she pulled on her School uniform.  Leaving her wizard cloak behind Ceres silently sneaked down the stairs. She did not wished to wake her parents with her old tradition. She did this every year before the train left from platform 9 3/4. Her father had probably already left for work, though he would return to see his daughters off for the new year. Minthe was still asleep and her mother would not wake until at least half an houre later.

Silent as the night she made her way through the dim lid living room when all of the suddeb she sensed a presence besides her. Still on her toes from the last event Ceres pulled her wand and pointed it at the person sitting on the sofa. To her relieve the person who sat there was familiar to her. Cerea sighed as she put her wand back in the sleeve of her stark white blouse.

"Bloody hell Mr.Crix Why did you not say a thing when I entered. Did father let you in this morning? " Ceres asked as she grabbed an apple and gave one to Crix as well. She sighed and took a bite all the while glancing at Crixus. Ceres had hoped that he wouldn't have been here this early. She really wished to honor her long tradition, but knowing Crixus it would not be allowed.  Well he did not need to know of it, one time couldn't hurt. 

" well I will be upstairs again, mentally preparing myself to enter Howards for one last time" Ceres lied as she walked back up the stairs. Her shoes in the hand. Once back in her room Ceres pulled on her shoes and opened her window. The cold and fresh morning air flowed into her room and Ceres inhaled it. She looked around her, no one was in sight.  She could use magic. Pulling out her wand once again she pointed it at the Ivy growing underneath her window. The long veins moved towards her and Ceres reached her hand towards the dark green leaves. She grabbed them and jumped down. The veins did their work as they lowered her to the ground without sound.  

With a soft thud her feet hit the grass of the lawn. Ducking down as to not stand in front of any windows, Ceres sneaked towards the garden fence and jumped over it. Finally feeling free and having some space for herself Ceres ran away from her house for her morning stroll through the neighborhood. It was something she always did, something like a goodby to the place she grew up in. Strolling past all the memories that were present here. Taking in the familiar sight before she would return to those Scottish hills, old castle walls, proud eagle screams and misty mountains that sang, beconing her to come out in the sky. Her walk took her towards the misty banks of the river Themes and walked on the shores, making sure not to slip on the wet rocks. A suprised voice could be heard behind her. ‘’Ceres’’ It called her name and the young witch turned around, seeing Levi standing infront of her.  Hooked on his rigth arm was a beautifull golden blond girl who seemed to cling to him like she was his girlfriend. Taken aback by his sudden appearance Ceres took a step back.

‘’hey….Levi’’ She said, finding that the laces of her shoes had become very interesting to look at. Levi grinned as he saw her look down ‘’I can see you still walk around before the train leaves for Hogwards’’ He said and the girl giggled, as if she found his comment very funny. ‘’Levi, who is she. Is this the ravenclaw girl who dared to steal you from me before’’ the blond spoke with a heavy france accent. It almost sounded fake. ‘’Who is she?’’ Ceres asked hesitant, though she had gotten a pretty good idea from the way the girl behaved. 
The girl laughed proud as she snickered at Ceres.’’ Who am I, who am I. I am Selene Ira, I have been his fianceé since we were born. Our families intende us’’ She said and Ceres opened her eye’s. She felt tears burning behind her eye’s, but she held them back. Levi was no longer worthy of her tears. ‘’So you never…’’ Ceres wispered these words and Levi sighed. Why did he sighed?

‘’Indeed, you were a pleasant past time’’ Something in his voice was just a bit different. Ceres could not put her finger on it, but it was there. What was he hiding? what happened?
