Everyone is fast asleep...
Everyone? No, one person is still awake. It’s a child, a girl. And that girl am I.

I don’t want to sleep, I want to go to the biggest Halloween party from this city. There are my parents there is my whole family. But I? I must stay at home. In this boring house. It’s so boring over here. I must sleep, but I don’t want to slee........

Ieeeeeeeee !
I wake up from a nightmare. Brrrrrrrrr, it’s cold. The wind blows through my open window. Open window? My window was closed! Then the phone rings....
I pick up the phone and say: “Hello, it’s Katy speaking.”
No answer.........
“Hello, who are you?” I say a bit scared. “That’s not important, says the stranger: “I know everything about you.”

I walk to my window to close it, the phone holding in my hand. Then the doorbell rings. The stranger on the phone says with low voice: “Open the door, I’ll be waiting for you...”
“No I don’t want to open the door, go away!!!!” I scream in panic.
The stranger is quiet and then, tuut..........tuut.............tuut, he stops with the call.
I go downstairs and look out of a window. I see the stranger with a body in his hand, a dead body. I open the door to see who it is. It’s my neighbour!!!!!!!!
I am in shock for a moment. I want to scream, but I can’t get sound over my lips. That man is a murderer!!!!!
The murderer comes to me.......... I stay like frozen. My mind wants to run, my body wants to stay.

Then I feel warm inside, I see bright red light.
Flames, fire is coming out of my hands!!!!!!! In a few seconds there is fire so far I can see. It’s like Hell!
“Help, anybody, help me!!!!!”
Silence....
“Help! I’m going to die!” I scream with panic in my voice.
Somebody grabs my arm. It’s the stranger!
He leads me through the ocean of flames. He saves me!



Halloween call





Then I see a spiral of colours in front of my eyes. The world is spinning around.
After that I fall down, down in a deep black hole. It’s like a well.
Then it’s black in front of my eyes. I’m unconscious.

I wake up in a pleasant, bright yellow room. There is a man with a black beard. He’s sitting in a rocking chair. I ask him: “Am I dead, is this Heaven?” “No,” says the beard man, while he is standing up from his rocking chair. I think: “That man is a giant.”
The giant man says: “I’ve to tell you something, your whole family is dead. I must save you, because you are important. You are a witch, a famous witch. A bad magician has murdered your parents. I can’t call his name, but I say it once to you.... His name is VOLDEMORT. Oh yeah, I’m the stranger and maybe you think I’m a murderer, but that is not true. I tried to help your neighbour, but I was too late.”

Now I feel sad. My whole family is murdered by an unknown person.
But I feel also happy. I survived this disaster and I am a witch.
I always wanted to be a witch.

I go to school in a castle, called Hogwarts and I’ve a foster-parent, called Hagrid. He is the stranger, the “murderer”, the man with the beard and the giant.
