Once more : There was a time

Chapter 1 : The murder underground
Zara is murdered. But her memory of the murder is very fragmented. She can
only remember the grasshopper patronum, touching a mans heart and died.

only interact with the first person she sees, she wears a hoodie to cover her eyes on the
way to her fathers house. She struggles to ask her father to help due to their poor
relationship. She sits on the doorstep frustratedly.

Meanwhile, Liam also goes to Professor Olivers house because of a school project with
his friends, Isaac and Hannah. When Liam arrives, there is nobody.
He is hit by snowballs. He thinks their friends are pranking him.

He sees a girl in hoods, assumes it is Hannah. He sneaks and pulls down her hoods,
says HA ! Caught you ! Stop being stupid Hannah

Zara is caught off guard and she opens her eyes, stares straight into Liams.

Zara is shocked. She doesnt expect a stranger in front of her would be the only person
to help her to investigate the murder. She cries. She is worried if he cant help her. But
she is relaxed too since she doesn't have to face her father.

Of course, Liam is shocked too. He blushes embarrassedly. The first reason : He has
just pumped into a stranger. The second reason : the stranger is crying. The third
reason : the crying stranger is stunning. Liam sits still without a clue to comfort a cryer.

Hannah and Isaac walk to him from a distant,

Hey Liam, I am right here, who are you talking to? They ask.

Hey, I have just seen a gur.

Liam says awkwardly
Zara panics when Liam is about to leak her existence to the other. And she is not fast
enough to unzip the hand pocket of the hoodies and cover his mouth by hands. So she
tiptoes and kisses Liams to seal his mouth in no time.

Zara, my name is Zara Myosote from the future. Only you can see me. Dont tell other
about my existence or I will vanish forever. Find me next morning in the greenhouse.
Zara whispers to him ,

Liam stands jaw-droppingly with burning face.

Hannah and Isaac have climbed down and approach Liam,
What have you seen just now ?
No...nothing. What took you so long?
A men pumped to us to sell cookies

Zara nods at Liam to thank him. She peeks through the window. She sees Olivers
second wife, Hazel, Olivers second wife is making teas. Hazel kisses Oliver when
placing the pot. It reminds Zara the dislike to her dad disloyalty. What she cant see is a
small family picture on the bedside, where her mother and her father is kissing baby
Zara happily.
