Prologue: My life is over.

Who am I you ask? Well, I'll tell you. My name is Lydia. You have probably seen me sitting all alone in the back of class. Did you ever bother to talk to me in-between classes? Did you ever cross the great hall to come say hello? Did you ever notice me, a useless Gryffindor girl? No, I bet you think you have me all figured out don't you. You must think that just because I'm Dumbledore's granddaughter that life is easy for me. Well, guess what Malfoy, the misery that is my life is not tangible enough for you to grasp.

Chapter 1:

Well, reader I guess I have to start at the beginning for you to understand. My name is Lydia Dumbledore, and yes I am Dumbledore's granddaughter. My father is his son. My grandmother is dead. I am a sixth year in Gryffindor house. I don't have any real friends. Sure, Harry Potter and his friends are in my year, but they are just polite to me. Their not what I would call friends.

It was the first day of school at Hogwarts and I was already panicking . I had sat alone in one of the train compartments. I wasn't upset about that. I like to sit alone. When I'm alone I don't have to worry about acting up to normal standards. No, I was upset about what had happened while the train headed for Hogwarts.

A couple hours after the train had left platform 9 and ¾, Draco Malfoy, and two of his friends I had never bothered to learn the names of, came into my compartment. He just barged in and sat down. His two friends just stood by the door as if the were guarding a prince from potential terrorist. I had been reading A Girl's Guide to Fishing and Hunting.

For five minutes we just sat in silence. I was reading, and he was just sitting.

Finally he opened his big egotistical mouth and said, "So are you actually planning to go fishing and hunting at Hogwarts?"

I was in no mode to be joking around due to... other things. I simply said, "If you have something to say than just say it. I'm not leaving this compartment. Besides don't you have a Slytherin Assholes Inc. meeting to go to?"

The little ass just smirked at me and says in a innocent voice, "My goodness, temper, temper little Gryffindor. I am a prefect and can put you in detention. So you just might want to show a little respect to authority." Now in a more serious voice he says, "I just came to see for myself if you really were as witty and intelligent as Professor Snape said you were. To tell you the truth you really haven't shown it during Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. My whole house thought that the only reason you passed your exams was because you are Dumbledore's granddaughter."

I was shocked. I knew that I wasn't dumb. I would give Hermoine Granger some competition in class if I ever bothered to raise my hand. I was left dumbstruck because Professor Snape said I was smart, but in order to keep The Deception of my life a secret I just smiled.

"What in bloody hell's name are you smiling about?" he said, a little upset because he hadn't managed to get on my nerves. Did this little idiot really think that I would let some stupid remark like that get to me after I had endured much more?

"Because its good to know that I am important enough for you and your friends to spend time talking about me", which was half true. For most of my life I have been ignored because I really have lost all the people skills I've ever had, partly because I never bother to socialize. So I began to think that now would be a good time for him to parade around the corridors of the train. "So if you don't mind I'd like to be left alone. You wouldn't want your reputation to be soiled would you?"

"And why may I ask, would it be soiled?"

"Well, it wouldn't look good for the Slytherin King to be seen sitting in the same compartment as a Gryffindor. Besides if you came to pick a fight go find someone else. I'm not going to because I have better things to do."

He just looked at me as if I was crazy. He got up and turned to leave. As he got to the door he looked at me and said, "Snape said you were an interesting character to look into. I think he may have been right. We'll see what skeletons you've got hidden in your closet won't we?" He gave me one last smirk and just left.

I was so confused. I had been acting stranger at Hogwarts. If any of my old friends could see how I am now, then they would say that they didn't know me. Only, that was because things at home got worse. I knew that Grandfather was worried about me, but would he get Snape and the other Slytherins involved? O shit, why now were things getting more complicated at home and at school?

A/N: Ok that was not what I expected, but whatever. I'm going to give you all a spoiler so you can understand what is going on. Lydia's home life was never the best, but now it's getting worse. Her classmates are starting to see things are wrong for Lydia, but they don't know what those things are. Dumbledore and Snape get help from someone else who knows what hell can be like. I think your all smart enough to figure out who that person is.

All this is going to get explained in the future. I just wanted to say this to get you guys into my story. Since I only have one chapter this spoiler will be up. As I write more I will take it down so please R&R. Flames are welcomed. Just say whatever you want. If saying nothing is what you want to tell me than that's cool too!
