~~When You Wish Upon A Star
It was Halloween night 1987, Muggles are all out trick or treating and wizards are celebrating the biggest feat in their generation; the defeat of Lord Voldemort. However, for some it was a night of pure sadness. In fact, our story begins with two young siblings experiencing a sadness that most six year olds and five year olds never experience. Our story begins with Harry James Potter and Violet Amelia Potter.
Harry Potter was a normal six year old boy; well as normal as six year olds can be when their twin brother is the Boy-Who-Lived. Yes, he was perfectly normal, too normal in comparison to his twin Will. Even at six years old Harry knew he was being compared to his twin, too quiet, to scared, weak; he had to be compared to Will who defeated Voldemort. William Liam Potter, wizardkind's last hope. Yet Harry had to wonder, how in the world did Will, the boy who couldn't spell his name, defeat the most powerful wizard of all time?
I suppose you wonder if he hated his twin. Harry supposed he should, after all he was the neglected one. He was the one in his room while they held a party in honor of his brother; he was the one who loved his little sister when their parents were too preoccupied to notice her, and he supposed his sister was the reason why he couldn't hate his brother. Even for a six year old, Harry was remarkably smart, he had figured out that he was the only example his sister had and he had to be a good one. He had decided at the age of three that he was going to teach his sister love, friendship, and happiness. They were all each other had, and he was going to make the most of it. Harry sat up in is bed and thought about his little sister in the next room, perhaps he should go check on her, after all, no one else would. Harry got up from his bed and walked into his sister's room.
"Violet?" Harry asked quietly, "Violet, are you awa-" Harry's voice cut off when he heard his sister sniffle, he immediately ran over to his sister and gave her a hug.
"I'm fine Harry, I just shouldn't let Will bother me so much." Harry looked down at his baby sister. He knew Will had a way with making Violet cry, in fact, Harry thought his brother liked making her cry. Harry was going to say something when there was a loud laugh from downstairs.
"See, all we need is Will, just Will," They heard their father exclaim, "He is the most perfect boy ever, all we'll ever need." Harry felt his sister shaking in his arms. He looked down to find her crying again.
"Harry! Why do mummy and daddy hate us? Why!" She asked silently sobbing in her brother's shoulder.
"I don't know Vi, I really don't."
"I wish we could leave! I wish we could go somewhere where stupid Will doesn't exist and we're something. I wish we could have friends, and play, and be happy." Harry didn't know what to say because he felt the exact same way. Suddenly Violet ran to her window, "Look Harry! A shooting star! Come on Harry we have to make a wish! We have to say the rhyme Harry!" Harry smiled at his sister and together they said the little rhyme they had once found in a nursery book.
"Starlight, Star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish
I Wish tonight!" Then the two of the closed there eyes and wished for the same thing, to be loved.
Harry heard the noise downstairs begin to quiet down so he told his sister goodnight and headed back to his room. He could hear his parents telling the guests good bye and ushering them out of the house. He could hear his brother laughing and begging not to go to bed, finally Harry heard his parents tucking his brother in, and he heard them coo over him and say goodnight. Lastly, Harry heard them tell his brother the three words that made him cry every night, we love you. Harry couldn't help but hope that maybe, for once in his life his wish would come true.
Sunlight filtered into Harry's bedroom that morning , waking him up in the most unpleasant way.
"Wait a minute." Harry thought "Sunlight? How is there sunlight?" Harry woke up and looked around him. The first thing he noticed, besides the sunlight, were the walls, the walls were a deep orange color, whereas Harry's walls were blue, then Harry noticed that the bed was in the center of the room and that it was much bigger than his own. Harry began to panic, where was he? He jumped out of the bed, which was rather hard because it was a good three feet off of the ground and Harry was only about six inches taller than that, and ran out of the door. When he was in the hallway he saw five other doors, each with a name on it, he noticed that the door across from him had his sister's name on it. He ran into that room desperate to see if that was his sister.
Violet Potter was confused, very confused indeed. She had been up for a good two hours and still had no clue as to where she was. She knew she wasn't at home, and she knew she should feel scared, but she couldn't help feeling, comfortable. If someone was trying to do something bad to her, they would be able to, because they won her over with the paint on her walls. Yes, all it took to make Violet happy was green paint. However, you'd be happy to if your entire life everything you'd gotten was purple because your name was Violet. About an hour after she woke up, a girl burst into her room. Both of them stared at each other in awe, after a good five minutes of that the girl introduced herself.
"I'm Ginny!" The little girl said, Violet was hesitant in answering her because she didn't want to like this girl, she wanted to hate her because she had what Violet wanted; red hair. Violet always felt that is she had red hair like her mother maybe her parent's would love her. Yet, Violet felt herself smiling at her, for some reason she couldn't hate her.
"I'm Violet, how old are you?" Then they began to talk like they were sisters. Violet was so happy she had met Ginny, she had never spent much time with girls, especially girls the same age as her and was shocked to find out that Ginny hadn't either. The two girls sat giggling and talking for what felt like days. They then declared themselves best friends both of them forgetting they were far from their homes. Violet was just about to suggest them looking around when Harry burst in her room.
"Harry! This is my new friend Ginny!" Harry turned to look at the girl. He meant to say hello but of course it came out wrong.
"Do you know where we are?" he blurted out. Ginny shook her head, suddenly remembering she wasn't home, and began to cry. This alarmed Harry, and he ran and hugged her like he had done Violet when she cried. Violet grabbed Ginny's hand and asked her why she was crying and when Ginny expressed her sadness at not being at home or being able to see her brothers, Violet hugged her and said that they could share Harry until they found hers. Ginny laughed and then suggested they go look around. So they walked out of Violet's room and looked at the other three doors. One said Neville, another Draco, and the last said Luna.
"Let's go in Draco's room! " Violet shouted and before anyone could stop her she burst into his room. Harry and Ginny had no choice but to follow her. When they got into his room they saw Violet leaning over a pale boy with white blond hair, who appeared to be asleep. They assumed this boy to be Draco.
"Draco," Violet whispered, gently shaking the boy, "Draco wake up." The boy rolled over and opened his eyes.
"Hello." Violet said. The boy's eyes widened.
"Who are you? Where am I? How do you know my name?" Draco screamed. Violet simply smiled and answered him calmly.
"I'm Violet, that's Ginny, and that's my brother Harry, I don't know where we are, but I do like it here, and I know your name because it's on the door." Then she hopped on his bed and started pulling his blankets off, "Now get up! I want to meet everyone else and go play!" She grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the door when all of a sudden she stopped. She turned to look at Draco.
"You know what? You're cute!" Then she continued pulling him out of the room. Harry laughed at his sister who always seemed to be able to say what she wanted and he and Ginny followed her out of Draco's room.
"Well, we might as well go see if Neville is up then." Ginny suggested as they stood outside his door. They opened it to find a chubby boy, with dark hair sitting on a bed talking to a tiny girl with long blonde hair who could almost be mistaken as Draco's sister.
"I like it here, when I woke up my walls were my favorite color!" They heard her say to the boy, whom they assumed was Neville.
"Mine were too!" Neville said to the girl who they had decided must be Luna.
"My walls were my favorite color." Ginny said, making Luna and Neville aware of their presence.
"Really," Luna asked Ginny, "What's your favorite color? Mine's blue!"
"I like yellow!" Ginny responded. Then she hopped on Neville's bed,"And if what I think is right then your favorite color is red!" She said to Neville who just nodded.
"So you're Luna, you're Neville, Draco, Ginny, of course Harry, and I'm Violet!" Violet said pointing to each person as she said their names. They all nodded. "Well I know I'm five and Ginny's five and Harry's six but how old are you guys?"
"Six" Said Draco and Neville
"Five" said Luna "Do any of you know where we are?" They all shook their heads.
"Maybe I can help you," A man said to them, and if the girls were older they would have found him highly attractive "My name is Xylo Alenos and you are in my home here in Salet. My wife Adie and I found you and decided to bring you home. You may be wondering how I knew your names, and you will find out soon enough. As of now I do believe you haven't eaten yet. Come downstairs with me, my wife has prepared lunch for you" He stepped aside to allow them to exit. Violet being the inquisitive one just looked at him deciding whether or not he was good or bad. He was tall, taller than her daddy, and he had long hair, almost as long as hers and as a dark as hers. He looked nice and had happy eyes. She decided she trusted him and turned to everyone else and told them to come on. Harry more for protecting his sister than trusting Xylo followed her and everyone else followed him. During lunch they learned more about Xylo and his wife and found them to be very nice. They had shown them much more attention than their own families and Adie had a sweet smile and a motherly complex. When lunch was over they were all positive they wanted to stay with Xylo and Adie. Xylo had told them that he had actually asked for their names and they must have forgotten but he had to think of something to keep them from running off. When they sat down and talked about where they lived and their towns Xylo and Adie gave them confused looks, they had never heard of such places. Adie soon realized that these kids weren't orphans, they were literally from a completely different place. Adie asked them how they planned to go home. Draco was the one who answered.
"I don't know, but do we have to go back?" He asked hopefully. Adie looked at her husband, he gave a slight nod.
"Well I don't see why you have to but wouldn't you miss your family? Won't they miss you?"
"No, they won't even notice." Harry said.
"What do you mean they won't notice?" Adie asked, she would certainly notice if one of the was gone and they weren't even hers.
"Our parent's don't care, they only care about Will." Violet said.
"My dad will probably be happy, he always says he wishes I was gone" Draco said.
"I never want to go back!" Luna screamed as if she would rather die than do that.
"I was just in the way," Neville said, "My gran said so"
"I have six siblings. They'll never notice." Ginny agreed.
"Well then, I suppose you can stay here. You'll need new names of course. The ones you have now won't fit in here. Though I think you should keep them as middle names. We'll have to put up a lost children ad, but if no one responds then we can adopt you." Xylo said.
"Can you read?" Adie asked, they all nodded. " Ok, well here's a baby name book I had, I always wanted kids, and now I have six!" She smiled and handed it to them.
"Our room is right down the hall so when you have your new names come tell us ok? Then we'll go shopping for you guys, you'll need clothes, and toys, and we'll have to enroll you in school, I need to call the newspaper, oh so much to do!" Adie walked off mumbling to herself.
Ten minutes later the children had picked their names. Harry knocked on their door to let them know they had decided.
"So, what did you choose?" Adie asked with a big smile on her face.
"I chose Demi because I'm the smallest in my family!" Ginny said with a grin.
"I chose Jade because my favorite color is green!" Violet told them, "And I never want people to buy me all purple stuff just 'cause my name is Violet!" She finished with tone of finality in her voice.
"I chose Xanthos because it means blond and I'm blond," Draco mumbled, blushing, "I didn't want to forget my name." They all smiled at him and told him it was a cool name and that it was a good idea.
"Well, I chose Zane because it means beloved, and I want to be special to my new family." Harry said smiling at his new "Parents".
"Oh Harry, we already love all of you so much!"
"We love you too….mum" Luna said, "I chose Cordelia because I love the sea! I love all the fish and the color and everything! And it means daughter of the sea!"
"That's a great name then Lu- I mean Cordelia. What did you pick Neville?" Xylo turned to his new son.
"I p-p-picked Ace." Neville said staring at his feet.
"Why did you pick Ace?" Adie asked kindly.
"B-b-because it-it means unity and I want us to be one big family." Neville blushed
"We are family!" Draco blurted out, "At least I want us to be, I never had a real family, or siblings or anything."
"Well I say we are family, forever!" Harry smiled at them.
"Oh! YAY!" Ginny ran and gave him a hug and soon everyone else joined in the hug.
"I think I'm going to love it here!" Luna sighed.
Adie and Xylo looked at each other, happy with the new family they had. They knew one day, and one day soon they would have to ask them why they disliked their families, but for now, they were just content.
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought I would,
You can't make me cry,
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
~~Oh Father-Madonna
When Lily Potter woke up on November first, the first thing she did was check on her son Will. On the way down to his room she decided to peek into Harry's room. What she didn't expect was for him not to be in there.
"Hmm, maybe he always gets up this early," She thought to herself, feeling a little guilty she didn't know her son's sleeping patterns. She continued down to Will's room and saw that he was sleeping soundly. Since she had nothing to do she decided to look for Harry. She asked the house elves if they had seen him but they all told her no. So she went outside and began calling for him, still no answer. She pulled out her wand and did a locator spell since the property was so large. This couldn't be. He has to be here! Where else could he be, maybe she did the spell wrong. So she did it again, still the same result. Harry James Potter was not on their property. Maybe it was just wrong in general. She tried the spell on Violet but it told her that Violet wasn't here either. Lily was starting to panic, so she did it one more time, this time on Will. The wand in her hand began to spin wildly in the direction he was. She couldn't believe it. Two of her children were gone. Lily made a mad dash back into the house.
"JAMES! JAMES!" She yelled, "HARRY AND VIOLET ARE GONE!" She ran into their room, tears pouring down her face.
"What do you mean gone?" James asked jumping out of the bed, "How can a five year old and a six year old be gone?"
"I don't know James, I got up went to check on Will, looked in Harry's room on the way down, and noticed he was gone. I thought maybe he had just gotten up already. When I saw Will was fast asleep I decided to look for Harry. I asked the house elves and they said they hadn't seen him, so I went outside and then I did a simple locator spell and it said he was gone, so I tried it again on Violet and it said the same thing, so I tried it with Will to see if I was doing it wrong but it worked! James they're gone! What if they're in trouble?"
"We need to call Dumbledore, and Sirius and Remus. I'll be back." Then James apparated out of the room leaving Lily all alone.
