Family Chapter One: The Beginning

"I remember just like it was yesterday, Amber. Let's see, the night we found you was the night He Who Must Not Be Named was destroyed. Your mother came with me to deal with the press after what happened to the Potters. I was talking to a reporter from the Daily Prophet and your mother was talking to the neighbors wife. Well she and that lady she was talking to heard little cries from inside one of the bushes along side of the house. Your mother looked in the bush and found a baby." "Me!" intervened Amber. "Yes you, anyway she called me away from the reporters and naturally they followed me. Your mother showed me a tiny baby girl with jet black hair and bright green eyes. We took you to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuriesbecause your hand was bleeding. Later it was revealed that there was a lightning bolt shaped scar on your left hand. Naturally when we found you the reporter took a picture of you. While you were in the hospital your mom stayed with you the whole time. While she was there I was creating an ad for the Daily Prophet. It said 'Found: Baby girl approxomately a month old. She has jet black hair and bright green eyes. If anyone knows the parents please contact Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic.' The ad was posted for two weeks and the only person who responded was Professor Albus Dumbledore. He told me something terrible. It was very sad." "What was it he said daddy?" "I'll tell you when you are older." "Daddy I turn 11 tomorrrow." "My goodness you're right tomorrow is July 31, but I'll tell you when you need to know. Anyway as I was saying, nobody claimed you within the weeks we waited for somebody. After that, your mother and I adopted you."

The nexty day Amber and her adopted parents were thrilled. Amber got a special letter in the mail. It read:
