F stands for Fun

[Sydney Howell]

A while ago Sydney could see her sister, Brooke clinging around her after smelling the aroma of melted chocolate she was no where in her sight including Nancy the nanny. Nancy was the one who brought them here, Sydney wasn't sure why she would want them to be traveling all the way to New Zealand when they had Diagon Alley in London. But travelling to other country was fun and beside it was summer there, she got to not wear those heavy coats. She hated coats, she couldn't move too much when she was wearing it. But snowball fights were fun, oh yes. "Brooke!" She shouted as she saw her no where near her. The little girl shrugged as she walked away from the crowds bringing her skateboard on her arms. The reason why she had a skateboard with her was she loved muggle sports. Brooke's nanny, Nancy gave it to her on her birthday several years ago and since then she loved the board, she couldn't get rid of it. Even though a lot of prejudiced wizards like her cousins and relatives told her to throw it away, she wont.

Seeing Honeydukes she walked into the shop as she saw candies on each racks. The girls loved candies beside London, well of course she thought that she was all grown up and that she didn't eat sweets because she felt like a grown up. Sydney sneered as she remember her older sister. She shook her head and walk toward one of the racks, taking chocolate frogs and walk to the counter paying it. A smile appear in her face as she saw the chocolate frogs on her hand. She walked outside, ripping it as she saw the frog jumped. "Not again!" She chased the jumping frog. The charms was making her harder to eat it, that was one of the reason why she dislike the chocolate frogs. But chasing it was quite fun. She spotted the frog stopped, she walked toward it slowly as she grabbed the chocolate, squishing it on her hand and saw it melt because of the heat. "Eeew" She pouted looking at it, she threw it away and clean her hand as she saw the other pack of chocolate frog, ready to open it and cause some trouble.

 

[Helaku Makwa]

Uncle's Rhys family live in Hawaii, while we live in Seattle, half way across the states, not nearly and the climate so way different than what Helaku was use too. He was use to rain and some sunny days, and very grassy and green lands in the part where they live. They live on Indian Reservation, unlike the rest of the Seattle's residents there, Indian reserve had their own laws. Rhys family live on a reservation too, except it was in Hawaii. The weather there was humid, you always felt like you was baking underneath that temper sun. Unlike our family, aunty Laylah house was always cool. The sun can be hot as hell, but their house always remain cool. The best part about aunty Laylah's house, the beach was just down their footsteps. Ours was close by, not close by like aunty but it was there. No good use of it anyways, it rain in Seattle like crazy. Always did, it should be remain the city of clouds. Damn shame too!

Today we weren't nowhere near aunty's house or ours, actually nowhere in the united states. Aunty Laylah insist that we visit New Zealand, cause the truth was Helaku got accepted to go to Hogwarts next year. He was excited but a little scared too, out of all the school to be enroll, it had to be the school in New Zealand. Pretty far from the states, close to Australia but nowhere near home. Helaku was scared, in a few months back he will return here to attend school at Hogwarts. While their arrival have been short this time his father use magic for everyone to go, they had no trouble settling in a bed and breakfast place near the village. Everyone was unpacking little by little for the two weeks stay, Helaku had other plan. That included him adventuring nearby the inn, just outside by the sprinkler, where he caught the shouts of a little girl running down the walkways of the tightly close village. He watch her chase after a chocolate frog, which made him curious of the girl quickly. She had chocolate frogs, dad brought those home all the time when he travel to London on occasion to see his brother. The boy follow the girl a step behind, till he saw her squish the frog in her hand, he laugh cause it was amusing to see. She had miss a bit of chocolate not so far from her face, "Hey little girl, I think you miss a spot!" he said pausing at his step, he couldn't go far. Mom will be outside if she didn't see him, she'll get all worried. So he retrace his steps back to where the Inn was located.

 

[Sydney Howell]

An unfamiliar voice was heard by Sydney, the little girl stood up straight and twirled herself, spotting a boy who not too far from her. She wiped her cheek with her sleeve and walk toward the boy. Well at least he seemed nice but why did he called her a little girl if he was as young as her as well? Or probably younger? "You mean this?" She showed her sleeve, a lot of people called that nasty, including her cousins but she didn't care. She loved being dirty, she wasn't one of those who were afraid of germs or who were afraid of anything unclean. Oh no, she was far from it, in fact she was one of those who would play in the rain, jumping into a paddle, splashing the mud and throwing it at other people. And this was one of the reason why a lot of girls stayed away from her, they thought she was too awkward, she wasn't worth to hang out with because she wasn't acting like them.

Sydney looked to her back spotting Brooke eating her candy but she didn't care, she was about to have fun and no one could stop her, no one including Brooke or Nancy. "Where are you going?" She asked trailing him, being cheeky. Sydney had heard about the muggle detectives from her nanny, Nancy who was a muggleborn. She was always interested in being one of those. "Have you ever heard of spies and guns? Muggles are awesome!" Sydney was pretty odd for wanting to talk to a stranger without even telling her name first, but then again she was just a child and she was acting like a child. And unlike those girls who were thinking about boys on her age, Sydney was different, she had no interest in them, at least not yet.

 

[Helaku Makwa]

Helaku whirled around now walking backwards, this little girl was following him like he just did to her. The boy found it odd but he didn't mind it at all. It was about that time he made a little friend of his own anyways, what good of a vacation would it be without meeting someone new along the way? Boring that's what! Helaku the type to be shy but he hate being bored too. He rather be in a crowded room full of noise than a crowded room where it was quiet. He saw that being silly, plus mom always told him that company good company always good to have. If you ain't have company than your a lonely soul.

"My mama a muggleborn" he said with a wide grin. His face plump by the cheek, spread like butter and bits of cheery, if there were ever a combination of too being together. "But sorry I never heard the game be'fo" he shrug, his arms limpy rise and fell. Than he remembered what she ask him and saw what she was holding in her arms. "I'm not suppose to be wondering along cause were not from here, were on vacation" he told the small curly headed girl. She had somewhat blonde hair and almost pale skins, but her smile w as light and welcoming like a new friend should look like to Helaku. "Is that your skateboard?" he ask, he had own two at home but wasn't suppose to bring it along unless he was moving here. Which won't be for a few months from now.

Sydney grinned as she listened to the boy speaking. "She is?!" The little girl jumped as she twirled around while clapping her hand. "Nancy is a muggleborn too! And I spend my days with her!" She said proudly, of course the boy wont know who Nancy was. Beside Sydney didn't tell who she was so how was he suppose to know? "Where are you from?" She asked randomly. Well Sydney too wasn't from Hogwarts and she didn't go to Hogwarts New Zealand and she wasn't planning on going there but yet she was all alone, maybe it was because her parents let her wander around or perhaps it was because Nancy lost her. "I'm from London, are you a first or second?" Yes, she was pretty nosy, she wanted to know about everyone else and sometimes she would annoy other people.

"Oh this? Yeah it is? You like it?" She showed her skateboard to him, showing off a little because she had muggle items. Well he might have one too since his mother was a muggleborn. But Sydney was too proud to have it. "I'm Sydney by the way. Born in Sydney" She laughed a little, well her family was quite unique, they traveled all around the world and Sydney's sisters were born in different countries and their parents named them after the city.
