She knows she has only a few years to live, due to the werewlf execution act, so she's dertermined to have the time of her life with the time she has left, and maybe help out a certain R. J. Lupin along the way.

Chapter 1

The Beginning of the End

Alienne Bantam, or Ali as some people called her, was bored out of her mind. She new she was supposed to be flipping through her new books for Hogwarts, but this was hard to do when she didn't understand a word in them. Her parents were the kind that wanted their kid to be the most perfect and smartbeing on the planet, wanting her to have already memorized her textbooks that she had bought nearly a week ago. She sighed. She needed some fresh air. She left a note on her kitchen table for her parents before creeping outside.

Ali strolled through the forest behind her great manor. Her parents had very well-paying jobs, although she wasnt sure what they were. Ali sat down on a log, lost in thought. The light of the full moon shone on her face, on her long brown hair and golden eyes. Her parents often made disapointed remarks about thir daughter's imperfect eyes. She snorted. As if she chose her eye color...

Ali couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts and get away from her prissy parents. She had many friends,despite the fact thather parents didnt let anyone in their house.Didntwant any little kids mussing up their perfect house. Ali sighed. They werent the best, but they were still her parents and she loved them. So she always kept a bright and happy face, at least until she was alone.

Ali loved full moons. They made the night, that was always full of darkness, bright and merry. She looked at her watch. She had been outside for an hour! She groaned. Even with the note, Ali would be in big trouble for not studying. Ali was deep into the forest now. She began to sprint in the direction that she thought was home. Wait a second...was it her imagination, or did she smell smoke? She ran faster.

Ali now knew were she was, only a few minutes away from her property. The smell of smoke was stronger now. Could it be?...no. She shook that thought out of her head. But now she could see the smoke. It drifted up into the sky, obscuring the light from the bright moon.The night was getting brighter and red now. Ali filled with panic. Almost there...Yes! She was finally out of the forest, only to be greeted by the sight of her illustrious and beautiful manor, which held treasures, money, her room and, she realized, her parents,burning to the ground.

So, how was that? Not bad, eh? So review, or I won't update.
