UNEXPECTED
You can imagine my surprise when I came home to find my older brother, Evan, sitting shirtless at the kitchen table smoking over a bowl of cereal.
Wait- wasn’t he supposed to be in prison?
Muggle prison for that matter.
There were huge bruises patched across his back. Some so blue it was hard to tell where a tattoo ended or began. As Adam entered the room, sure enough, he spotted the Wizardry Society tattoo ringing around his shoulder blade.
“Hey little brother,” he shot smoke out his nose, “long time no see.”
“What are you doing home?”
“Got out.”
“Got out?”
Evan stuck the hand wrapped cigarette back into his mouth as if it was a pacifier for conversation.
“Where’s mum?”
The older brother shrugged.
“Where’s Hannah?”
Evan shook his head and mumbled something along the lines of “Fuck if I know”.
What a bastard...
