Chapter One

Harry waited at the platform for the Hogwarts Express he had just had to deal with the new Minister of Magic and that had caused him to miss the train but he had special permission for the train to take him to the school after it had time to cool down and all the workers had a break which was what he was waiting on, he couldn't wait to finish his last year of Hogwarts after two years it had finally opened its doors to promising new witches and wizards and Harry and his two best friends had requested that they finish their last year (though it was was more Hermione that had requested this and had dragged Harry and Ron into completing their last year as well.)

The new Minister had called him away from his friends to tell him that even though Voldemort was defeated not all of his followers were likely to just surrender. Some would be looking for revenge for their fallen master and the first person that they would be after would be Harry.

Harry had thanked the Minister and said that he would be vigilant about the threat and made sure that he would be careful until they knew that everyone associated with Voldemort were either taken into custody or dead but Harry knew that even if he did keep an eye out for the trouble, trouble always seemed to find him no matter where he went.

Opening the paper bag that Molly Weasley had prepared for him he pulled out a sandwich and began to dig into his lunch as he waited for the train to be prepared.

After he had finished his lunch he looked around the platform that was usually so full of life, now was completely empty and quiet and the silence put Harry on edge as he couldn't quite rid the feeling that he was being watched.

The driver came up to Harry and explained that he was finishing up and that Harry should board the train before they left without him. He went to the compartment nearest to the actual train and made himself comfortable, he just wished that his friends had been allowed to wait for him because was in for a long journey and he had nothing to occupy him for the trip.

All of his things had been placed on the train before so now all he had was a backpack with a few Quidditch books and a few snacks from the remainder of his lunch.

He was just settling down to read Quidditch Throughout the Ages, when a young girl about fifteen with long black, frizzy hair walked into his compartment, she was already wearing her Slytherine uniform.

"Excuse me, but do you mind if I sit here? I had to go to St. Mungo's before coming here and they said that there was a later train for this one time and said that I could get on it." Harry merely nodded for her to sit down but he wasn't sure why but he felt that this girl was strangely familiar, even though he knew they had never met before. "I'm Beatrice by the way, but you don't have to tell me who you are I already know. Wait till my friends find out that I met and talked to the Harry Potter. Oh excuse me, I'm rambling. I tend to do it when I get excited."

"No its fine. Nice to meet you Beatrice." Harry held out his hand for her to shake, which she took. Instantly Harry knew that there was something wrong with her, she may have seemed nice enough but there was a darkness in her heart that for some reason he could sense although he had no idea why though. "Do you have a last name Beatrice?"

She smiled evilly at his question and instantly Harry knew that she was no friend and he wondered if this was one of the people that the Minister had been talking about.

"Oh how silly of me, my full name is Beatrice Lestrange. I am the illegitimate child of Bellatrix Lestrange and the Dark Lord, its my mission to take you down."

Harry was instantly on his feet, pulling his wand out of his back pocket as he moved, making sure to keep the child in sight at all times.

"How is that possible? Voldemort was gone at that point and Bellatrix was in Azkaban."

"That's simple, DNA from both parties were taken and through magic I was born fifteen years ago. I was raised by one of my father's minions and when he came to power he taught me everything I needed to know."

"But you must know that he was evil?"

"From where I stand, you're the evil one. You have your wand raised to me even though I haven't done anything, all I have done is talk."

"You said it yourself that it was your mission to take me down and you just expect me to sit there as you kill me."

"I did say that but what I didn't mention was that I wasn't the only one after you." Harry was grabbed around the waist from behind pinning his arms to his sides but he didn't let go of his wand as it was his only protection. "Harry, Harry, Harry. I really wish that it could be different but it can't so I'm going to kill you. But don't fret too much I'll make to make it agonisingly slow, I want you to beg for death and I like my father will show you mercy and oblige your request."

Harry struggled against the behemoth that had a hold of him but nothing he did worked, he didn't want to draw attention to the fact that he still had hold of his wand and therefore waited for the girl to make the next move.

She pulled out her wand from her sleeve and aimed it directly at Harry as Harry aimed his wand at the girl and at the same time they both shouted their spells.

"Crucio!"

"Expelliarmus!"

There was a flash of light as both spells made contact in midair causing all three occupants of the room to black out.

When Harry woke up he saw that he was in the middle of nowhere with no idea where he was or where his attackers were, he only hoped that they wouldn't try anything again but he knew that his luck in that area wasn't very good and knew that they would be back soon.

Sighing, he knew what he had to do and knew that he would shouted at by his friends for doing what he knew he had to do, he dissapparated to the border of Hogwarts.

McGonagall had been made the new headmistress of Hogwarts and the first thing that she had done was put the no dissapparating charm back on the school, meaning that the enemies couldn't just appear in the school.

When he got the border, he was extremely shocked to see that his beloved school was nowhere in sight thinking that he had not dissapparated to the right place he closed his eyes and pictured the school again, when nothing happened he knew something was wrong. This time when he closed his eyes, he pictured The Burrow knowing that he could never get that destination confused and then he could ask the Weasley's for help to get to school.

When he opened his eyes however instead of seeing the multi-story house that he loved, he was in an open field with not a house in sight.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked himself as he tried to think what had happened but nothing was coming to mind except that maybe he was disorientated from when he had been knocked out by the blast. "Maybe a good nights sleep will help." He eventually found a barn that he could sleep in, it was comfortable enough, more comfortable than when his aunt and uncle had made him sleep in the cupboard under the stairs.

The next day, Harry woke at around midday when the sun shone high in the sky and made him shy away from the light. He quickly pulled on his glasses , and tried to smooth down his unruly hair but it did nothing.

Looking down at his clothes, he realised that he would have to change as soon as he got to Hogwarts but he also realised that he would have to explain why he was so late but he was sure that McGonagall would understand.

His jumper was fine if only a bit muddy as well as his pants, the only problem was that Filch was going to have a fit when he saw how muddy his trainers were, they would have to be thrown away as soon as he got to school.

Closing his eyes he pictured Hogwarts and felt himself be pulled to where his thoughts were, when he opened his eyes again he saw that he was in exactly the same place as the day before, a huge field with no Hogwarts in sight.

He was just about to head to London when something distracted his thoughts from his current predicament.

"HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" From the sound of things it was a young man, but Harry didn't care, instantly he was running towards where he heard the shouts of help were coming from.

There, in front of him was a man about twenty years of age with shoulder length brown hair and eyes he was a little taller than Harry and and wore wizard robes. But that was not what Had Harry's attention, the man had cowered by a tree with a cloaked figure that was otherwise known as a Dementor hovering over the man.

Harry acted before anything else happened, pulling out his wand, he pictured his best friends in his head and everyone else that he cared about and shouted his spell.

"EXECTO PATRONUM!" Within seconds a shining white stag erupted from Harry's wand and charged at the Dementor causing it to flee after it had been knocked away from the man.

When Harry was sure that it had gone and wasn't going to come back he called back the stag which faded before his eyes, the man looked at his with gratitude and shook his hand.

"Thank you, thank you. I would have been at that creature's mercy if it wasn't for you."

"It's no problem, but why didn't you try to stop it, you're a wizard aren't you?"

"Yes well, you see. I'm not very good, I get scared easily and I tend to lose control of my spells before I know it."

"Sounds like someone else I know. Anyway it's good I found someone, I need directions and I was hoping you could help me."

"Anything for my saviour." Harry winced at the name but let it slide seeing as how most people were calling him a saviour nowadays anyway.

"I was hoping that you could tell me where Hogwarts was."

"Hogwhat?"

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Never heard of it, is it new? Can anyone go to it? Can it help me improve?" Harry was seriously confused now, this man was saying that he knew nothing of Hogwarts which was impossible, everyone with magic knew about Hogwarts.

"Nevermind, I'm Harry Potter by the way." He said holding out his hand, he was expecting the man to look shocked at the name but all he did was shake the hand offered to him.

"I'm Godric. Godric Gryffindor."

Well Guys, what did you think? This is my first time writing a Harry Potter fanfic, so I don't really know if it'll be any good.

If there is anything you think I should improve just tell me. (Well except grammar as I have mentioned before in other fanfics and on my profile, I have been diagnosed with Dyslexia and therefore I have problems with my english.)

Anyhow hope you liked it and let me know if I should continue with it.
