All characters you recognize belong to JK Rowling, all others I own. Please note: the character of Lyssa, her name is pronounced like Lisa.

"A love from a different house"

Chapter 1 " A power family"

Lyssa Hawthorne was born into wealth and power. Her family is one of the oldest and most powerful pureblood wizarding families. For 150 years all the Hawthornes that were born into the family were male and all the ones that went to Hogwarts were in the Slytherin house. The way they were powerful was they were like the mob or mafia of the wizarding world.

Lyssa greatly resembled her mother. She had long blonde hair with some curls, blue eyes and pale skin. Her brothers, on the other hand, looked just like all the males have for generations. Dark hair and dark eyes. Her mother, Clarice, died when she was just 6 years old. Her father, Ashton, has been really protective of Lyssa since then, even her brothers have been as well. In her family if the males were to get married, they were to marry a pureblood. This has been done for generations, to ensure their pureblood name and line. However, her father made a special ruling in her case. Since she was the first female to be born into the line in a very long time, the rules were a bit different for her. She could marry whichever bloodline that she wanted.

Lyssa was nervous and excited. She was going to start at Hogwarts tomorrow. She had a big family of brothers, Canyon, Dorian, Jasper, and her twin brother, Faber. All but Canyon, were going to be in school this year. Canyon graduated the year before and was going to go into the family business. All the men in her family has been in Slytherin. Her father also told her it didn't matter what house she got in. They finished their school shopping the night before, and the time flew by and before she knew it, it was almost time to board the train. Her father called a quick family meeting before hand.

"Please keep an eye on Lyssa" said their father "No matter what house she gets in, I want her watched somewhat. You know how most people think of the family, I want her protected. I know the professors said that they would look after her as well, but I still want to be cautious.. " Lyssa nodded along with her brothers. She knew why her dad was like this. Her mother was killed by a wizard after their father. Her mom was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She followed her brother onto the train….

Author's note. Lyssa is 5 years ahead of Harry Potter, and in my version, Snape never dies in the final battle.
