London was amazing. Embers parents had moved her back there shortly after she had lost her memory. Her parents even moved back in with each other because ember seemed to keep them balanced. Her life seemed perfect.
Almost.
She couldn't remember any of her past or time at hogwarts. Or most importantly, her boyfriend. Three weeks had passed and she still had the jacket she had been wearing that night. She held onto it in hope one day it would cause her to remember. She heard a knock at the door and walked down stairs.
A chubby boy who looked around age 13 stood at the doorway. "hi ember."
"hey Daniel." she let him in. Daniel was her neighbor and closest friend. He was like a younger brother to her and they had only known each other for three weeks.
"your still holding that?" he said looking at the jacket in her hands.
"sorry force of habit. It's just-"
"the closest thing you have to your old life." daniel said finishing her sentence. "you say that everyday."
"I know. If I can just find where my dad hid his spell book, I could find-"
"the spell and reverse it so you can regain your memory." he said finishing her sentence again. "really ember? I know the routine."
"right so come on my parents are at work and we have a lot of searching to do before they get home." she said.

Ember and Daniel had been searching for the book for two long monthes.
"ember this is hopeless. We have searched everywhere." Daniel complained.
"Danny you know how much this means to me. I need to find it." she said.
"i barely know how to use my powers. I didn't go to hogwarts very long like you." he said.
"you could still reverse one spell on me and help me search." she said looking under a couch cushion for the third time.
"uh oh. Your parents are home!" Daniel said.
"alright let's just act normal." she picked up a binder and plopped down on the couch. "let's pretend I was tutoring you okay?"
Daniel sat down on a chair and recited a spell.
"good job!" ember said as her parents walked in.
"oh how sweet you are teaching him!" her mom smiled.
"yeah he's been doing good!" ember said.
"that is good. Your father and I have a dinner to go to tonight at my office so be good while we are gone." her mom said.
"alright." ember winked at Daniel. More searching time.
An hour later her parents were dressed in their best clothes and driving away.
"alright let's get to work." ember said.
"I have to go get dinner but I'll come help afterwards." daniel said going home.
"fine." ember went into her parents room. She searched everywhere. She decided to look under the mattress.
Something was under there.
She reached under and pulled out a book. "no way..." she gasped and almost dropped it.
She flipped the pages until she found a memory spell. "I did it..." she said to herself. "I actually did it!"
A few minutes later Daniel came back over. "why do you look so-" he saw the book in her hand. "no way!"
She smiled. "its here! Use the reverse now!" ember said telling him exactly what to say.
Daniel held up his wand and recited it.
Ember closed her eyes as Daniel cast the spell. Soon she would remember. Soon.
Suddenly, memories came flooding back to her. Reality hit her like a ton of bricks. "ASH!" she screamed. Her memories weren't at all what she expected. She lay down on the floor and started sobbing.
"ember what's wrong? I thought this is what you wanted?" Daniel asked.
"it is. I didn't realize the life I'm living now is opposite of what my life is supposed to be! I need to get to new York." she cried more seeing how hopeless this was. How was she supposed to get to new York without her parents knowing? "Ash. He needs me. No I need him. Danny you got to help me."
"anything ember. I'll help you get to new York!" he said.
"I will have to wait till the summer though. I can't leave in the middle of the school year." she sighed.
"really? You got a boyfriend to find! You can't stay here!" Daniel said.
"I know I know. Now just isn't a good time. Even though I can't stand my parents, they are finally happy. I left them unhappy for five years so I need to make it up to them." she sighed. She didn't know how she would. "the jacket!" she ran to her room and grabbed the jacket holding it close to her. She cried more. "ash..." she whispered. Her voice cracked a little.
Daniel sighed and left knowing ember wanted to be alone.

The days drug on. Ember tried her hardest to look strong infront of her parents. She was eating less now and spent most of her time alone.
Daniel came over one day after school. "ember why don't you come outside today?"
She continued staring out the window. "why should I? It won't get me away from here. I can't stay Danny. I just can't pretend infront of them anymore." she put her head down. "I almost wish I didn't ever get my memory back."
Her mom knocked on the door and walked in. "Daniel ember and I need to talk can you please go home?"
"yes. See ya ember." Daniel sighed and left.
"Emmy, your father and I are very worried about you. What's wrong?" she asked.
Ember could tell in her voice she was suspicious. That's when ember just lost it. She broke down crying.
"ember! What's wrong?" she asked holding ember close to her. "sweetie tell me."
"why did you guys do it to me? Why would you do that!?" she pushed herself away from her mom. "I was perfectly happy in New York with Ash. You don't understand! He needs me and I need him. We helped each other and you and dad couldn't see that!" she yelled in between sobs.
Her dad walked in. "what's going on?"
"She found your book." her mom muttered.
Her dad glared at ember. "so you reversed the spell?"
Ember nodded.
"ember white! I had that spell on you for a reason! Life was finally good and you just needed your memory so bad that you just had to ruin everything!" her dad yelled frustrated.
"what did you expect me to do? I promised Ash I would try to remember and I did! And I am going back to new York!" she yelled.
"not if we can help it." her dad smirked. He took her wand and broom. "you won't be seeing these anytime soon. And you arent allowed to be around Daniel if he has his wand with him."
"dad! This isn't fair! Ash was right about you. Mom do something!" ember pleaded.
"I'm sorry Emmy but our family was finally happy. It is going to stay that way as long as you are here. Just give it a few monthes and you won't even remember who Ash is." her mom said.
"just go." ember said facing her head away from them. "I dont want to see either of you."
Her parents left the room shutting the door behind them.
Ember slid down on the floor beside her bed and hugged her knees sobbing into them. Without her wand or broom or Daniel how was she going to ever get back to Ash?

*one month later*
Three letters.
She had sent three letters and no reply has come. Why was he ignoring her? That was very unlike him. He would never ignore her when she needed him.
Depression wrapped around her like a heavy blanket. She hated her parents more than anything right now. They ruined her life for their own selfish reasons.
Someone knocked on her room door. "If you are one of my parents then go away." she muttered.
The door opened. But it was just Daniel. "hey." he said.
"hi Danny." she said managing a weak smile. "what's up?"
"thought I would check on you." he handed her an apple. "please eat this. You need food."
"fine." ember took the apple and bit into it. She laughed lightly because Daniel had peeled the skin because he knew she wouldn't eat the skin. "thanks for peeling the skin."
"your welcome. It was kind of fun!" he laughed.
Ember chewed on the apple piece in her mouth.
"okay so I also came here to tell you some good news." he said smiling.
"what?" her eyes didn't light up like they would of two monthes ago. What news could be good unless it had to do with new York?
"I figured out a way for you to get to new York." he smiled.
Ember almost spit out her apple but didn't. "what? How?" her eyes did light up this time.
"my grandpa has a dragon on his farm. It's a small dragon but it would be able to get you to new York. And it's tame." Daniel said.
Ember stood up and gave him a hug. "you are the bestest friend a person could ever have!" she smiled. "let's go we have to leave. But I will have to climb out the window. My parents watch this place like hawks." she grabbed a backpack and shoved in some clothes and toiletries. She tied her bed sheets together and told Daniel to toss them out the window while she slipped on the jacket and grabbed an extra pair of shoes. "I'm ready."
"I'll meet you downstairs and wait for you outside." he said then left.
Ember took a deep breath and climbed out the window down the rope. Daniel met up with her and they took off running to Daniels house.
"my tom said he would drive us." daniel said.
Tom was already in the car ready to go. Ember and Daniel hopped in the backseat and were off to the farm.

When they finally got there, ember and Daniel went straight to the dragon. "Danny are you going to come with me?"
"uhhh I don't know..." he said shifting on his feet.
"you don't have to but if I end up staying then who will take the dragon back?" she asked.
"good point..." the chubby 13 year old climbed onto the dragon after ember.
"alright I've never 'driven' a dragon before so sorry if it's not the smoothest ride." she smirked.
Daniel managed a nervous smile. "it's okay I'll be fine."
With that they took off. Ember didn't want to waste another moment.
The air was smooth and cold. Ashes jacket was warm and felt like he was right beside her. 'soon.' she thought. They rode through the air taking a break every few hours until they finally made it to the city. They tied up the dragon a little away from the city in a forrest where no one would find it. They walked a few miles until it was around 11:00 at night.
They had finally made it to his house.
"okay Danny wait here. I'm going to go knock." she walked up to the door way with her hands shaking at her sides. She knocked on the door expecting either Ash or his mom to answer. But it was neither.
It was Joy.
