When Credence exploded +and left, she was completely washed in pure magic. She thought in +the first moment, that she is going to die, that the explosion +is going to kill her. But nothing like that happened. Credence’s +magic recognized her and protected her, even when the whole +building collapsed around her. Showered with magic, she saw weird +fragments of stories in front of her eyes, she heard sounds she +couldn’t hear, she was flying in the middle of the room for a +moment, she lost consciousness in the end. + +When she woke up, she was in the ruins of the building, hidden +in the hole in the wall, just the size for her to comfortably +fit in. After the experience of the pure magic surrounding her, +she was not even surprised when she found out that the pieces +of the wand Mary Lou broke were together again and the wand was +pleasantly warm in her hand. + +So, that is how it was: an abandoned and lost little witch with +her wand in the middle of New York with nobody knowing about her, +without any food and without any money … + +---- + +That’s it. I would like somebody to continue with this story. A +little (eight years old) girl living on the streets of New +York, who has a wand (well hidden, because she knew from the +experience with the New Salem Philanthropic Society that many +people could hurt her), but not much else. Oliver Twist meets +Harry Potter. She will have to learn how to live on the streets +with the children gangs of New York, and perhaps later she will +meet somebody who will teach her to use her magic. + +Inspired by `this prompt`_, +but I have never seen anybody to pick it up and do it justice. + +.. _this prompt: + https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12278819/1/Street-Smart |
