Hey! Thanks for reading my story! This is my first story on FanFiction, but not the first one I've written. Please rate and review it sincerely, and keep reading if you like the story! :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling does. I wish I did.. but sadly.. that is not the case. ;)
In the Beginning...
Christopher and Amelia Finch lived on 24 Crown Street in Little Whining and had a secret they didn't tell anyone. They did everything they could to keep that secret, but it wasn't working as well as they had planned.
Amelia was a landscaper. And a very good one at that. Everyone in town who knew anything, always went to her for any kind of advice on plants or gardening. Every time she was hired to do landscaping, everyone was surprised at how fast she got the job done, and how amazing it looked. No one could figure out how she did it all. She was the one who made the money in the family.
Christopher, on the other hand, was a book binder. He was always up in his workshop in the remodeled attic, working on the ruined books that he usually got from the library. He always took in the old, worn books and put new covers on them.
His 9 year old son Justin, was completely amazed by his father's job. There were always books everywhere, and Christopher would always read the new stories that he had fixed up. There were tons of different things every week, and Justin always felt so overwhelmed.
Then, when little Allie came along and Justin was almost completely forgotten. It was all about the new baby. "Ooh! Go get the baby some diapers!" or "Oh my! She just said her first word!". Justin got so sick of it!
On the eve of Justin Finch's 10th birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Finch told Justin some news that they had kept from him his whole life. They told him that they were going away, because they needed to keep them safe.
Justin thought it was only for a little while, but after 6 months, he didn't think he would ever see his parents again. He would have to take care of one-year-old Allie. All by himself, until he found someone to help him. If he ever did, that is.
