Me Ch 1
My name is Libra Vicerrente. I have a father (Leo V.), a little brother, that is 6 years younger (Altair, V.), and a deceased mother named Aquila V. She died of the baby blues when Al was born. I guess the stress got to her? We live on our own island in between Ireland and England. We call it "Omnes Vicerrente" (Means Land of the Rebellion). I am 13, descendent of Merlin, an elementalist, and shape shifter (yes, including extinct animals). Al is telekinetic. There was a lot of weirdoes in my family, it was only expected that we would inherit such powers. I am a pureblood, we are pretty well off if I say so myself, but we have to be in hiding because we are related to Merlin (sadly). Anyways I got this diary for my birthday. I love daddy, but sometimes he can be really mean, who told me, "Sweetie, I think it is time you got a friend." Thinking I can finally go to Hogwarts he says," So I got you this book, have fu-u-un!" I need to go; Al wants to go by the river.
Sincerely your new friend, Libs.
I close the book after being poked endlessly by Al, and semi-run downstairs.
"Father! I'm going to take Al by the river okay?" I announce. I look around and see a group of men in black robes that were talking with dad look at me,
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry; I didn't know you had company." I said as politely and possible, bowing my head a bit.
"It us alright Libra, you may go. But only return when I call you. I don't want you disrupting my meeting again." I nod, curtsy towards the gentlemen, grab Al's hand, and walk away.
"She is very beautiful. Looks exactly like her mother. Maybe she acts like her too!" I heard from behind me followed by bellows of laughter.
We quickly run into the forest, towards the river. We call it "The Rivers of Transparency". I sit on a boulder supervising Al as he splashes in the water. I look at my reflection in the water. My curly light brown hair on one side and my blue eyes looking back at me. *I don't get it… I'm not beautiful, I'm normal. Besides m mother was a coward, I am nothing like her!*
"Hey sis! Why were they laughing at you?" I sigh, "I don't know Al, but it was kind of creepy don't you agree?" He nods slowly.
I heard screaming, "Dad." I whisper, pulling Al onto my back as I shifted into a saber tooth. I was always the curious one sadly, so I left Al behind a tree warning him to stay behind and hide, as I go check on what is going on.
Turning into a small snake I slither in. "Leo, Leo, Leo. I thought you knew not to go against me? Then again I also thought you were smart, I guess my gut feelings have been deceiving me, Oh well. Crucio!" My father withered on the floor screaming, scratching his whole body as he bled.
The man that spoke to my father sighed, and quickly silenced my father with a green light, which I quickly grasped was the killing the curse.
"How disappointing. Find the brats and kill them quickly, this seemed to have just been a waste of time."
They began to walk towards the door, till one noticed me," Oh look my lord! You once mentioned your little Nagini needed a companion!" he said trying to pick me up, I bit him, His response? HE KICKED ME?
I morphed into a saber tooth and began to growl at them. They all froze. Then I heard Al being dragged in, trying to fight off the hands that were carrying him as much as his little 7 year old arms and legs could.
"Now, reveal yourself, or this little boy will soon be a snack for my werewolf friend here."
Al looked at me pleadingly, I sighed and turned back. I began to notice that all the male occupants began to concentrate on me. Noticing the strong probing in my mind, I chuckle. Since I already knew they wouldn't be able to come in anyway.
~FLASHBACK~
"Daddy, I'm tire-e-ed!" whined a 6 year old Libra
"Sweetie, you have to learn this!" exclaimed a very frustrated father.
"But it's hard!"
"Libs you're the eldest you need to take care of Altair. Do you want him to die because you were incapable or a coward?" asked Leo.
"Mumble~"
"What was that?" he asked louder.
"No sir I don't." she replied. "Thought so! Let's try again."
~END~
"Playing tough are we? Crucio!" yelled the man.
I braced myself. Instantly I felt thousand of burning needles attack me. I refused to even blink, I didn't even flinch *thank you dad ~sarcastically~* It lasted quite a while. Then it stopped.
"Hmm, you are quite interesting my dear. Yes you are young, but you are also strong and a pureblood, also not even my Death eater's can resist the cruciatus. Would you like to join me?" I knew he was one that would kill you if you refused, scrunching my face in disgust. I chuckle
With a smirk, "And what is in it for me, my dear Tom?" Tom looked quite surprised, knowing I invaded his mind without knowing.
"Well everything you desire, poppet."The men began to crowd me finally into a circle blocking all exits. He kept talking, not that I listened of course. I was too busy trying to tie wines on their ankles without them noticing. Before I could even notice what was going on one of the men grabbed my arm forcefully pulling it up, with a smirk on his face.
Losing control I just tied them up all together, as they fall on the ground. Laughing, "Not a chance. By the way beware! I see your gonna go bald very soon actually. And we both knew how you favor your hair!"
I quickly take Al and run through the forest, towards the emergency port key my father set up long ago. From a view of green leaves and trees and the sound of a river, turns into a view of books an old man, and the smell of parchment.
"Professor Dumbledore?" I ask
The man looks up with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
"Yes, how may I help you miss?"
"My name is Libra Vicerrente and this is my brother Altair. Our house seems to have been raided by Death eaters." I began to explain what happened; slowly his twinkle began to disappear.
"So we ended up here." I finally finished
"That is very misfortunate. I give you my condolences, Miss Vicerrente. With these circumstances, you and your brother may stay here. And you Miss will start Hogwarts in three days prior." He said.
Shaking his hand gratefully, I say," Thank you sir, but how will I retrieve my belongings, and money and-"
"Not to worry, 1. I will send Aurors to check the area and retrieve your things. 2. May I see your necklace please?" Shocked that he even noticed I was wearing a necklace. Nevertheless, I hand him my heart shape necklace, which has my family crest. (Crest in Profile.)
Immediately, it turned into a golden key, with the family crest still on it but on the edge. "This, my dear, is the key to your vault. You could also use your blood, but it is quite uncomfortable, so I suggest you not to lose it." I nod.
A loud bang from the door behind us and in came a lady with black hair in a bun.
"Albus! I heard there was a breech what happened-"she stopped and looked at us
"Minerva, this is our new student and her brother, they will be staying with us for a while. Death eaters seem to be after them." With a look of pity she nodded and motioned us to follow her.
"Good bye sir! Thank you again." I called back, I heard him chuckle.
After passing many stairways we finally stopped in front of a picture of Athena.
"Children, my name is Professor Minerva McGonagall. I teach transfiguration, this is going to be your new accommodations, you must pick your password." She said
"Pleased to meet you Professor McGonagall, my name is Libra Vicerrente, and this is my brother Altair." I smiled as Al waved at her.
"Dear gods! Wow you are descendants of Merlin, pleased to meet you. As a teacher I shall not show favoritism, but I do hope I get to know you better. Now please tell me the password." She said taking out her wand.
"Hmm how about Parangariqutirimiquaro?" suggested Al.
"Brilliant!" I clapped.
"Pardon?" she asked. "You see, this is a complicated tongue-twister for Spanish children. If no one can pronounce it but us, then no one can get in." I smiled.
"Very clever, I think I'll like you very much Miss Vicerrente." She nodded. As she muttered the spell, we walked inside. "If you need anything call a house elf, but if it's a medical emergency run across the hall to Madam Pomfrey." We nodded, thanked her once more, and walked through the portrait.
We sigh," Libs where's daddy? Is he meeting us here?" asked Al with his adorable puppy dog hazel eyes.
I kneeled down with tears in my eyes," Al, buddy. Daddy is in a better place okay, so no he isn't meeting us. Don't worry though! Your big sis is here to protect you from all the bad guys' k'?" hugging him, I feel him nod.
We stayed in silence for a bit.
"Enough crying, let's do something fun!" I announce, swooping him in my arms.
"Like what?" he asked sniffling.
"Well exploring of course! Now stop crying or you're going to get a visit from the tickle monster!" I said wiggling my fingers.
"Come on Libs. I'm not 5 anymore! I don't believe in-"I start tickling him, he was laughing like crazy!
I decided to stop, the kid is hyper enough already, so we step into the hall with 3 path ways.
"k' which way?"
"Hmm, eenie meenie miniee-" "I thought you were too old for that Al?" I said chuckling.
"I am! But sometimes it's helpfuls…" he states.
"Helpfuls isn't a word, sweetie." I sigh
"You're not nice!" he concludes. "Whatever, which way. Before the day passes us." "RIGHT! Because everything's right with right!" he said nodding furiously.
"Okey dokey." Grabbing his hand.
As we walk I begin to wonder. What is Tom doing right now? Is he looking for us? I better come up with a strategy. For sure they are going to target Al.
