SPOILER!!: ROSEMARY

"Oh," Tayla blushed and laughed at her silliness. "Sorry about that. Is your uncle a wizard, too?"

SPOILER!!: NIKA

Tayla clapped for Nika. "That was beautiful, Nika! And I definitely like the song." Tayla bit her lip in thought. "Hmmm...Hilary Duff...sounds familiar, but I'm not sure. Must be during Grandma Guita's time. But she's not a Muggle so I doubt she knows that singer.

"Did you bring the CD here, Nika? Although...it won't work anyway. I almost forgot Muggle machines don't work in Hogwarts," Tayla said, remembering what she read in Hogwarts, A History.

SPOILER!!: COVE

"Thanks Cove," Tayla replied sleepily. She turned and fell asleep almost in an instant.

"And leave you not learning Quidditch?" he said, throwing a Quaffle at Tayla's direction. "If I can coach the Tutshill Tornadoes, I can coach my dear granddaughter."

Tayla beamed. She caught the Quaffle, clipped it under her arm, and flew as quickly as she could to the goal hoops. She saw Grandpa Ric fly past her and reached the hoops first, acting as keeper. Tayla threw the Quaffle as hard as she could, hoping she'd gain a point.

"Woops!" Grandpa Ric exclaimed, still grinning. He had caught the Quaffle. "Remember Tayla, it's not how hard you throw, but how well you aim."

Tayla nodded. She fiddled with the locket around her neck, and the next moment, her Grandpa Ric had disappeared. Her broom did, too. She was no longer in the air, but on the ground. Standing in front of her was her grandmother. She had tears in her eyes. "Grandma Guita," Tayla said.

"Tayla..." Grandma Guita said with a sob and hugged Tayla.

Tayla's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong?" Tayla face broke into a smile. "Grandma, don't cry! Grandpa's alive! Grandpa Ric's alive! We were playing Quidditch and..."

Grandma Guita just shook her head and then touched the locket around Tayla's neck. "I promised him I'd give this to you," she said quietly. "You'll know when it's time. Just like I did." She hugged Tayla once more and walked away.

"But...Grandma Guita? Grandma!" Tayla started crying, too, but she didn't know why. "Grandma Guita! Grandpa Ric! I don't understand... Come back! Come back!"

Tayla twisted and turned on her bed. "Come back!" she shouted, sitting up and realizing she had startled some of the girls in the room. She was sweating all over. Her hand was fiddling with her locket again. It wasn't a bad dream. At least at first it wasn't. But she couldn't stop herself.

She buried her face in her hands and tried to hide the tears from her eyes.

"Ugh..." she said softly to herself. She breathed in deeply and hastily wiped the tears from her eyes.

Tayla got up, opened her trunk, and changed to a sweater, pants, and running shoes. She needed to run or fly. "Perfect opportunity for that DADA assignment..." she thought, still wondering why she felt so strange. "Pathways first...then the Quidditch pitch...I need ...speed...wind against my face..."

Let's go back Back to the beginning" She finished up the song and looked at Tayla. "It's a really old song so I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of it. I found it in one of my mom's old boxes that she keeps in the attic! My attic is full of so many adventures. Although the CD was probably her great grandmother's or something before it was her mom's. "It's by someone named erm- Hilary Duff I think." She said slowly trying to remember the face on the front cover. "It's one of my favorite songs now! Tayla clapped for Nika.
