“ I am Rubeus Hagrid,” he eerily said from a distance, keeping his eyes focused on Laila until she played with her hands,frightened. “ You are in my charming shop. Do you love it?” Laila moved her mouth but nothing came out, so she sat down on a chair, quietly. “ I see you have met my book of magic through the ages. You may discover things in my shop. Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THE BOOK!”

Seconds later, Rubeus Hagrid turned his back and before Laila noticed, she vanished into thin air. With her mind blank, she ran towards the book and opened it, revealing lots of secrets. The pages were mysteries waiting to be solved. There was a cotton candy room, Archery field jungles, zoos, football pitch and lots more. On every page, there was a story awaiting.

Before she knew it, Laila was colouring across the book, scribbling a rainforest and inside of the rainforest was a house full of her desires.

“Follow me,” hissed the snake fairy. Laila flung the book shut and hypnotised followed it. A door appeared with the wind, so she tip-toed into it. She did not enter a room. She was in a rainforest and a snake hissed at her and she followed it until it stopped at a tree. I climbed the tree and saw a footpath towards a house but not just any house it was the one that she drew. She jumped down and ran toward the house.

Her mind twisted with fear and happiness, she reached her destination. She opened the door, it had everything she wanted : a PS5 sitting on the lounge sofa; a kitchen that cooked itself; a bedroom that had a comfy fire; there was a box full of money and gold; and a yorkshire pudding with gravy waiting to be eaten. “Hello,” echoed Laila, thinking that someone was there, but silence punched Laila in her face.

A couple of minutes later, she heard a scream. Looking back, she pushed the lounge room door open. It was that moment where she saw it: a black shadow casting over her; blood red eyes looking into her mind; and knife-like teeth shone in the darkness. There was no way that she could let her fear take over her body. Laila pushed the house door and ran faster than a cheetah, she launched herself where the door was. This time nothing was there. Only trees and animals growing bigger and bigger. Shadows casting faster than the clouds in the sky. “Come here, you rascal.” shrieked a voice behind her.
