CHAPTER 1
No one knows about me. Only a few people do. I'm Voldemort's daughter, Alexandria. I've been locked up in Azkaban for a long while now. Once the Ministry of Magic found out about my heritage they locked me up fearing I would turn out to be like my father. The thing is, I don't see the world like my father views it. I think what he did was horrible. Now I'm twelve and I'm still locked up.
The guard hands me food, but I fall back and the man leaves. I notice another man from the cell across from me staring at me, but I ignore it.
"Ow…" I say.
"Why are you here?" A man asks.
"I'm Voldemort's daughter… I'm not one of his followers. I've never believed in the thing he's done, let alone met him, but the Ministry is still cautious. They seem to believe I'll turn out to be like him" I say.
"I see… My name is Sirius Black. I've been placed here on a false charge as well, but I plan on getting out of here. How would you like to come with" He says.
"I would love to. Thank you. I'm Alexandria by the way." I say.
After our first talk, we become close. I can even say that Sirius is my first friend. And within the year that has passed since then, taught me how to become an Animagus. My form is a black cat. Soon after my accomplishment, we start planning our escape from Azkaban.
"When they come in to give us our food, transform and we will run." Sirius says.
"Ok." I say.
I hear them coming and I transform. The guard comes in and I sprint past him. I see Sirius is close behind me. We blast our way through guards, walls, and some Dementors and finally escape that awful prison. I'm a little scared, but freedom is worth any risk. I follow Sirius. We rest for a bit, and then keep going. It's dark by the time we reach the place where Sirius wanted to go. I see a boy around my age. He looks over to where Sirius and I are. He backs away from us only to trip and falls onto curve only for a bus comes along and stop in front of him. Sirius and I run away. I don't know where we are going, but I hope it's somewhere with food.
After a while, we turn back into our humans form and I stretch a bit.
"Transforming always makes me tired." I say, yawning.
"Yes, but you'll get used to it." Sirius says.
"May I ask you a question?" I ask him.
Sirius nods, but doesn't say a word.
"Was that Harry Potter, your God Son?" I ask.
"Yes, but he doesn't know that I'm his Godfather." Sirius says, in a sad tone.
"He will, soon." I say trying to comfort the older man. "We need to find how to clear your name though."
Sirius nods. I give him a hug and he hugs me back.
"It'll be alright, Sirius… I promise." I say.
"You're right, Alexandria." He says, smiling at me.
I smile back. We change back into our animal forms and start looking for something to eat. I find a mouse and eat it. I would have found it very weird if I wasn't a cat. I help Sirius find something to eat now. After we are both fed, we start looking for somewhere to sleep. We end up sleeping near the Kings Cross.
I wake up and it's morning. I stretch my feline legs. I look over and see Sirius is still sleeping. I let him sleep. I walk around for a bit and look for food. I notice that there a lot more Muggles than I originally thought. I keep looking for some food and find some bread and half of a ham and cheese sandwich. I bring it back and find Sirius awake. We start eating what I found.
We transform back into humans, but we stay in the shadows.
"When did you even get into Azkaban?" Sirius asks after a while.
"I've been in there since I was eight years old. That's around when my mother died. That's when the Ministry found out about me." I say.
"Where were you until then?" He asks.
"In an orphanage. I didn't know I was a witch until they came." I say.
Sirius nods and doesn't ask any more questions. I already know about how he got into Azkaban. I just wonder why Peter Pettigrew would do that to Sirius and the Potters. Sirius said that he was a follower of my father. I instantly hated Peter after Sirius told me that. My father was scary, but that didn't give Peter the right to tell him where the Potters' were hiding.
We walk inside King's Cross unseen. I wonder why we are going into the station, but I don't question Sirius. Sirius walks toward the middle a brick column of platforms nine and ten. I blink and he's gone. I look around and walk through the middle too. I open my eyes and see I'm on another platform, platform nine and three quarters to be exact.
"Wow…" I say.
I see that Sirius turns into his animagus form. I do the same and follow him. We get on to the train unnoticed and we hide. I'm a little excited for all this. To finally be away from Azkaban and maybe I finally make a friend around my age. That seems a long way off and who would want to be friends with Voldemort's daughter? I highly doubt anyone would want to be my friend… I lie down and curl up into a ball. This is going to be a long ride.
We are half-way there when the train stops moving. I look at Sirius. I wonder what's going on. I sense a familiar feeling around me. It's the Dementors. I'm a little scared now. What if they know Sirius and I can turn into animals? That would be very, very bad. A Dementor comes towards us, but doesn't stop. I feel like I'm never going to be happy ever again. I know that it's the Dementors' doing, but its how I feel.
The Dementors' leave and the train and I feel the train start moving again. A man passes by us and looks at Sirius. The man shakes his head and keeps walking. I wonder what that was all about. I walk after the man and sniff him. He picks me up and I hiss.
"What's a cat doing here without an owner?" He asks.
'Maybe it could be because I'm not really a cat.' I think to myself.
"Well, I'll take you with me. I'm Remus Lupin." He says, smiling.
'Well I'm Alexandria Riddle. It's so nice to meet you. Now can you put me down?' I think again sarcastically.
Lupin puts me down and I follow him. He seems nice. He leads me into a compartment and turns his wand to me. I turn back into my usual self.
"How did you know?" I ask Lupin.
"My friends were an Animagus. You didn't seem like a regular cat. You acted to human." Lupin says.
"Yeah, well Sirius taught me how to change into an animal." I say.
"Sirius Black is on the train?" Lupin asks, urgently.
"Yes." I say cautiously after I resize my mistake. I start getting in a defensive stance and prepare for anything.
"Change back and show me where he is." Lupin says.
"No, you're going to hurt him and turn us in if I do!" I accused him.
"No I won't. I know what really happened that night. How it was Peter who betrayed the Potters and staged everything."
I nod and turn back into a cat. I walk out with Lupin, still tense and suspicious, and we head out looking for Sirius. I hope Lupin is telling the truth and isn't going to turn Sirius in. I would just turn myself in and escape with Sirius again. I'm not leaving Sirius's side. We get to Sirius and he starts wagging his tail. We go into a compartment and change into our human forms.
"Sirius, my old friend!" Lupin says.
"Remus, it's nice seeing you again!" Sirius says.
They hug and I smile. They seem like good friends. I wonder how long they have been friends. Before Sirius was in Azkaban I'm sure. I wonder more of Sirius's friends. I would love to meet them if they are as nice as Lupin. We're almost at Hogwarts, so Sirius and I turn back into animals. I hope we don't get Lupin in trouble.
Lupin leaves first. Sirius and I leave after a little bit and walk off the train. I see a lot of kids and it's hard to maneuver around their legs. I finally get towards the trees. Sirius comes after a little bit. We look around the crowd of kids. I see Harry and two other people around him. They seem very nice. We hide in the woods after they all leave. I wonder if we're ever going to go up to Hogwarts. It would be amazing to see it up close.
I start looking for something to eat. I see a few mice running around. I lick my lips and start going after one. I catch it after a while and eat it. It still feels a little weird eating a mouse, but what else can I eat out here? I grab another one and take it to Sirius. He gives me a weird look and I drop the mouse. Right, he's a dog, not a cat.
