Chapter 1: Haunted Past
Grey eyes stared down at a baby who was crying, a woman lay at a man's feet, dead. The man raised his wand, ready to utter the words that would end the baby's life.
"Avada Ke…"
A black haired man burst into the room, wand raised and panting.
"Expelliarmus!" he shouted, disarming the man, now seen as a Death Eater. The black haired man hurried over to the crib and scooped the baby up into his arms, apparating out as the Death Eater found his wand. He cursed when he realized that his prey had gotten away, the Dark Lord would not be happy about it.
Sirius Black apparated to a village, and he walked hurriedly to a crooked house standing in an open field. He pounded on the door and waited impatiently for the door to open. There were a series of banging and grumbling, and a red haired man dressed in nightclothes opened the door.
"Arthur, please…" Black said, handing him the baby.
Arthur Weasley who was at that point wide awake, took the baby without a word. Molly who had appeared by his side, stared in shock at Black, whose clothes were torn in various places and slightly burnt.
"Sirius.." she began, but he held up his hand.
"I'm sorry Molly, I have to go after him."
Arthur nodded, understanding him. Molly said nothing, in her hands she held her youngest child, and she looked lovingly at the child.
Without another word, Black apparated, but not before they heard him mutter what sounded like a name.
"Ava, I love you."
The sun streamed down into a small room in the Burrow, and a coal black haired girl opened her silver eyes lazily. She sat up on her bed, glancing around seeing her sister on the other side of the room, still asleep.
"Tomorrow…Hogwarts…" she muttered, getting up and making her bed. Samantha Weasley made her way downstairs to find her mother at the stove cooking breakfast. She smiled.
"Good morning mother." She said as she sat down at the table, where her father was reading the newspaper.
"Good morning honey," Molly greeted cheerily, setting down a plate of eggs and toast in front of her. Arthur greeted her back and went on with his newspaper. Samantha ate her breakfast in peace, until her mother talked to her.
"Sam darling, could you please wake the others up? Breakfast is getting cold." Samantha nodded while setting her plate in the sink. She trotted upstairs just as Bill came down.
"Morning midget." He said, smirking and ruffling up her hair.
"Hey I'm no midget!" Samantha protested, gently slapping his hand away. "I grew taller!"
Bill shrugged. "Yeah, by an inch." Said he, laughing. Samantha scowled and went upstairs, ignoring the laugh of her brother.
She came to a door that had a sign 'Ronald', and the bottom he had scribbled, 'Future Keeper of the Chudley Cannons'. Below that, Fred had used a permanent charm to draw an arrow pointing to the words 'YEAH RIGHT!'. She giggled a bit before opening the door, and came face to a lot of orange and a loud snore.
"Another fantastic save… best Keeper…" Ronald Wealsy was muttering in his dream, tossing and turning in his bed. Samantha sighed and walkd over to her brother, deciding how to wake him up, when an idea came to her. She leaned close to his ear and yelled.
"Ron…Harry and Pansy Parkinson are making out downstairs!!"
"BLOODY HELL!!!" Ron yelled as he sprang from his bed, grabbing his wand from the bedside table and ready to curse Pansy.
"WHERE!? WHERE IS THAT SLYTHERIN!? WHAT'S HARRY DOING WITH HER?!"
Samantha was on the ground by then, laughing till her face was red and she was clutching her stomach. Ron was breathing heavily, when he realized his sister rolling on the ground.
"Sam…" he growled, walking slowly towards her. She ceased her laughing and stumbled back through the door, Ron hot on her heels. She ran all the way to the twin's room, barging in to it and grabbing a firework that they kept near the door. While running around the room as Ron chased her, she spit on the firework which was set of by wetting it and threw it in between the twins.
"That ought to get them up." She thought as she ran out of the room. Ron, having seen what she did, got out too.
BANG.
A few seconds later, Fred and George emerged from their room, looking annoyed and their hair was burnt on the ends. Samantha stood at the stairs, smiling innocently at them with Ron in front of her. Ron was stiffling his laughter, when he remembered why he was up. The twins and Ron exchanged looks, and they chased their sister together.
"Samanatha Weasly you're gonna get it from us!" Fred yelled, as they chased her down the stairs. Samantha yelped and ran as fast as she could to the kitchen, where Molly and Bill were in. Arthur had already left for the Ministry of Magic, for he had an early shift today.
"Billllllll!!!!" Samantha yelled as she bumped into him, she rubbed her nose muttering an 'ouch' and clinged onto him.
"Bill!! They're out to get me, you gotta save meeeeee!!" she whined, and Bill chuckled. Molly laughed, used to their little routine of morning calls.
Bill shrugged and lifted the twelve year old girl onto his shoulders, when the trio barged in. Samantha stuck her tougue out at them and giggled, all while trying to mess up Bill's hair.
"Can't get me!" she sang, and they stared at her, defeated once again.
"Sam, you better stop messing up my hair, I'll be tempted to put you down."
Samantha pulled her hand back as fast as the Weasley brothers looked up eagerly. She scratched the back of her head nervously and giggled again.
"Bill, put her down. You lot eat your breakfast." A voice said, and they turned to see Charlie Weasley standing at the doorway of the kitchen.
The three nodded, Fred and George mocked a salute to Charlie and sat down. Bill set Samantha down and she ran to Charlie, giving him a big hug.
"Charlie! Good morning!" she said, jumping up and down. Charlie's head followed her movement, bobbing up and down.
"And…a…good…morning…to…you…too…kiddo…" he said, while his head went up and down with each word, making everyone laugh.
Ginny came in a while later, still in her pajamas, yawning.
"So when are we going to Diagon Alley?" she asked while taking a plate from her mother. Bill smiled.
"I'll be taking you guys there, along with Charlie. Mum's gotta run an errand for someone."
Samantha nodded and continued disturbing and teasing her siblings whilst they ate their breakfast.
"Harry! Hermione!"
Ron shouted over the crowd in Diagon Alley, the two turned their heads and spotted him, waving.
"Ron!" Hermione called, embracing him as soon as she reached him. Harry chuckled and felt someone tackled him from behind.
"Jamesie!" Sam cried, using his middle name as he steadied himself. He mock glared at her and hoisted her up in the air, attempting to swing her around.
"Heyya Sammy!" He said, hugging her in a brotherly way. Samantha was a year younger then the golden trio, who were attending their third year. She and Ginny would be attending second year together.
After that, Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to go to the quidditch shop, where Harry needed a handle polisher for his broom. Hermione wanted to object, but was silenced as Harry and Ron dragged her away. Bill stood beside Samantha, waiting for her to say where she wanted to go as Charlie had gone with Ginny to Gringotts. Fred and George had long gone to the joke shop stationed quite a way down the Alley.
"I'm going to Flourish and Blotts, are you coming?" Bill asked Samantha, who nodded. They made their way through the crowds, Bill occasionally had to let go of her hand for the crowd pushed them apart. As they entered the book store, Bill said to meet back at the entrance in half and hour.
"I gotta find a book and mum wants us back by evening." He said, taking off. Samantha was left standing alone and she glanced around. A tap on her shoulder alerted her of another presence behind her. A sapphire haired girl was staring at her with her onyx eyes, and the girl smiled.
"Hi Sam, been a while." The girl said, holding up a book.
Samantha smirked and dropped her eyes to the title of the book. She nearly squeled in excitement when she saw it. It was the newest addition of 'The Stars of Quidditch'. She made a grab for it but her friend held it out of hand's reach.
"Nu uh, I found it first." Her friend, Alice said. Samantha pouted and put on her best puppy dog eyed look, making Alice's face scrunch up.
"Not gonna work this time girl." She said, turning her back.
"Aww…come on Alice…" Samantha said, pulling lightly on Alice's shirt. Alice glanced slightly at her, and pulled out another copy of the book.
"But since I'm such a nice friend, I got you one copy too."
Samantha grabbed the book and started jumping up and down, thanking Alice and hugging the book. Unknown to her, a pair of grey eyes watch her every move.
'Immature brat.' He thought, as he leaned against the railing from above the floor of the store. He scoffed, and somehow it was heard by her. Samantha glanced up, seeing the oh so mighty Draco Malfoy leaning and staring down at her. She snorted.
"What are YOU looking at ferret?" she snapped, and Alice giggled. Draco glared at her, racking a hand through his blond hair, sighing.
"I'm not looking at you pighead. God knows who'd want to look at YOU." He said, flashing his trademark smirk.
Samantha scowled and chucked a book at him, hitting him on the head. He swore as he threw the book aside, turning and heading downstairs. Alice smirked and sat down on a chair beside Samantha, deciding this would be a loong fight. Draco stood in front of her, towering her as he was a head taller then her. She glared up and him, and he laughed.
"That's right Weaselette, look up to me."
Samantha opened her mouth in horror, and Alice looked dumbstruck. She raised her arm while Draco was laughing and attempted to slap him, when Bill stepped out from behind a shelf.
"What's going on?" he asked, seeing Samantha's hand near Draco's face and Alice staring dumbly at them.
Samantha lowered her hand slowly, glaring at Draco. He smirked and leaned closer to her.
"Lucky you big brother was here to save you. I assure you, if you had slapped me you would have regretted it."
He whispered all this and straightened up, turning to leave smoothly, and the two Weasley and Alice to stared in puzzlement at his back.
Silver eyes snapped opened and a long breath was let out. Samantha lay awake on her bed, having the same dreams over and over again for the past few days.
"What…was that…"
She got off her bed slowly, as not to wake Ginny up. She shook her head slightly and turned the door knob, creeping out of the room.
"Ava, I love you."
The sentence kept repeating in her head, making her wonder who was Ava, and why did she keep having the same dreams?
"Cold grey eyes…and that sentence…" she muttered, slightly afraid of the vision of the grey eyes. She walked to Charlie's door, where the light was still on, vaguely she wondered if her eldest brother was still asleep. She knocked lightly.
"Charlie?" she whispered. She heard shuffling noises in side, and a voice 'I'll get it' before the door opened.
"Samantha? What's wrong?" he asked when he noticed her tired expression.
"I…had…that dream…again." She struggled to get the words out. Charlie's eyes widen and he ushered her in, closing the door quietly.
Bill was sitting on the floor, a book in hand when he heard Samantha's voice. He glanced at her worriedly, noting the expression Charlie wore. He instantly knew it was about the dream again. He set the book down on the bed, and went to embrace Samantha.
"Hey…what do you remember this time?" he asked softly, the girl was shivering slightly. Charlie pulled out his spare blanket from the cupboard and wrapped it around her. She muttered a thanks and sat down on his bed.
"I don't know…everything is a blur…but…the words…still rings in my head…"
Charlie exchanged a glance with Bill. Not yet, they thought. She isn't ready to face anything, not now.
"Anything else?" Charlie pressed on.
"Cold…grey eyes…" she continued, and Bill nearly chocked. Grey eyes, he knew them anywhere.
Charlie coughed, covering up his shock. Samantha looked at both of them, they were acting weird.
"Charlie? Bill? Is something wrong?" she asked, making the two red head turn to her. Charlie smiled softly.
"It's nothing. Come on, you can sleep here for tonight." He said gently, patting her head. She nodded and lay down on his bed, closing her eyes. Bill was silent, stroking her coal black hair.
"She…shouldn't remember too much…" he said quietly, his eyes half closed, remembering the events of twelve years back.
Charlie nodded, though he didn't say anything at all. He just stared at the girl, who was sound asleep on his bed. He knew that one day, she would leave them. Though he somehow hoped that she would not. He thought of the days where he took care of her when they were younger, a smile graced his lips, and he sighed.
"We cannot hold it from her for eternity. She will know someday."
Samantha awoke to noises around her, and she opened her eyes, snapping them shut when the sunlight hit her eyes. She groaned and felt that she was hoisted up by someone. She didn't bother opening her eyes again, knowing it was Charlie by the feel of his rough hands on her skin.
"Hey kiddo, mum's throwing a fuss downstairs cause Ron hasn't finished packing. Best not to be there when she's still at it."
Samantha nodded, smiling slightly. Ron always had the tendency to do that while she and Ginny always made sure their trunks were pack before they slept. She wondered if the twins and Ginny were awake…
"Where's Fred and George?" she asked, opening her eyes to the blue ones of Charlie. He smiled warmly and she raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah well, that's one of the other reasons that mum's blowing. Seems that they had another batch of those sweets that make you puke. They were experimenting on themselves when mum walked in, seeing puke and thought they were sick."
Samantha giggled, imagining her mother walking in and seeing that scene. Fred and George were in so much trouble. Molly had always been telling them to dump the joke shop dream and study to get a proper job, but it seems that Fred and George wouldn't do it anytime soon.
"Alright kiddo, here's your room." Charlie said, setting her down when he reached her room. It seemed like a few minutes since he carried her, but it was only a few seconds. The house wasn't really big, so the rooms weren't really far apart.
"Thanks Charlie." She said as she entered her room, while Charlie went downstairs to calm their mother.
"Oh, Sam. Mum wants our trunks down now before we go for breakfast." Ginny said, dragging her trunk out of the room when she walked in.
"Okay Gin, be out in a minute." The black haired girl said while rummaging her drawer for clothes to change into. Ginny nodded and proceeded to close the door, letting her sister change.
Harry and Hermione were standing at the wall barrier to platform nine and a three quarters, and Ron went up to greet them.
"Hey 'Mione, Harry. How was your summer at Dursley's? I forgot to ask when we were at Diagon Alley."
Harry sighed. "It was…eventful. I blew up my Aunt Marge, didn't you hear?"
Ron laughed. "Oh yeah that! I forgot that you were at the Leaky Cauldron until I saw you and 'Mione there."
"Ron it's not funny!" Hermione scoffed, and Ron scratched the back of his head.
"Right, not funny." He grinned, and Harry laughed at the scene. Samantha coughed, and the trio looked up to see Molly, Charlie, Bill, Fred, George Ginny and her looking at them. Hermione smiled.
"Shall we get going then?"
Everyone nodded. Charlie went first with Samantha, followed by Ron and Hermione, Harry and Bill, Fred and George, lastly, Molly and Ginny.
Grey eyes. It was the first thing that Samantha noticed when she crossed the barrier. Draco Malfoy was staring at her and the rest as they came through, Charlie was still standing beside her, his hand on her shoulders.
"It'll be fine kiddo." He assured her, and she silently thanked him. Her fear for the grey eyes she kept seeing were unbearable, and she couldn't help but think something was going to happen this year. She saw her father taking Harry aside, talking very fast and Harry nodding, but she did not understand. The train was going when Arthur made Harry promised something, and then there was no more.
Hermione, Ron and Harry had gone off with other third year Gryffindors, leaving her and Ginny to find their own compartment.
"Well, come on. Let's find Alice." Samantha suggested, and Ginny agreed. They walked from compartment to compartment, searching for the sapphire haired girl, when suddenly she bumped into someone.
"Ouch!" she yelp as she fell butt first on the ground. Ginny helped her up and scoffed at the person that Samantha had bumped into.
"Well well if it isn't the Weaselettes." Drawled a voice they knew so well.
"Malfoy." She hissed, glaring at him. "I didn't know your ferret butt was so big that it filled the whole doorway."
Draco smirked, and from the back you could see Crabbe and Goyle snickering. He shook his head and walked pass them, brushing Samantha's shoulder as he did. She glared daggers in his back and proceeded to find her friend.
"Sam?" a voice called from inside the compartment they were standing at, and Samantha slid it open, revealing Alice and George. George had his arm around her, but as soon as they blinked, it was gone. He coughed and got up, leaving the compartment as they came in.
"What was George doing here with you Alice?" Ginny asked while sitting down. Alice smiled softly.
"He just wanted to ask something. Nothing much." She replied, and Samantha smirked.
"Right, I thought I saw his arms around you?"
Alice just continued smiling, not showing the faintest hint of panic or blush, revealing nothing. Samantha gave up after a while, having known Alice for a long time, she knew that Alice would not crack so easily.
"So…anything new?" and the girls launched into their newest gossip.
