"The truth is Mr. Potter, your daughter is not adjusting here, and we feel on behalf of the Beauxbatons Academy that it would be better to adjust her to an environment more suited toward her needs. She is therefore expelled on behalf of her terrible actions."

Images and conversation flitted through the young woman's head as she leaned her body against her fathers arm.

"It's going to be ok sweetheart we'll find a way out."

She sighed to herself as another disturbing image snaked its way into her restless mind.

"You killed her didn't you?" The girl screamed into the cold ruthless night,

"No! I...I…" the other girl replied shockingly

Yet no one seemed to believe her as they carried the dead girl's body away.

No one wanted to listen as blood dripped from her hands and tears poured out of her eyes.

"I didn't kill," her she whispered to herself as she let the men drag her away.

The girl closed her eyes only to be shaken awake by her mother.

"Sweetie we're here …come along"

The girl slipped out of the enchanted car and forced her way behind her parents into the mansion like house. She paused and bent her head slightly as her parents talked among themselves.

The girl lifted her head slightly as she heard pounding on the stairs and as two boys appeared.

"Ari you're home." James Potter said as he hugged his little sister.

The girl hesitated but then slowly wrapped her arms around her brother.

"James let her go…she needs some rest."

The girl detached herself from her brother's arms and slowly followed her mother up the grand swirling staircase and past the other dark haired boy. He gave her a questioning look but she ignored him and continued to follow her mother upstairs.

"Sweetie you know where you bedroom is just go ahead…I'll be there in a minute."

Her hand shook as she opened her door.

She took a step into her room and closed her eyes trying to inhale the aroma of innocence. This was her safe haven .This was where she grew up…where she was safe…where she was not accused.

She opened her eyes as she heard light footstep glide across her floor

" Auralina darling you must get changed. Dinner is about to start and I imagine you want to get freshened up."

The girl nodded her head and softly moved towards her private bathroom

She turned on all the knobs as the water grew warm and started to smell of roses. She slipped out of her clothes and submerged herself into the water and fell into a deep sleep.

Her eyes bolted open as the cold water seeped through her leaving her body numb. She glanced at the clock and noticed that she had been asleep for nearly and hour. She stepped out of the grand tub and dried herself. Slipping herself into a summer dress, she noticed how much weight she had lost. The dress hung around her body like a tent. She sighed to herself as she put her hair into a ponytail and made her way downstairs.

She reached the dining room and realized she was late as everyone has already started dinner.

"Oh good you're down, I was just about to call you myself," her mother said as she took a seat right next to her brother and across the other boy.

The boy reached his hand out and said "Hi, my name is Sirius."

"I know, I've heard a lot about you form James," she replied

She then shook his hand and took some mashed potatoes and a slice of bread.

"So you go to Beauxbatons huh? That's cool…Doesn't school get out later there?"

"I was expelled."

Her father coughed as and awkward silence hung around the family.

" Auralina, Sirius actually moved in with us this summer," her mother said attempting to lighten the air.

"Oh really?" the girl replied and looked at the young man in front of her. She held his gaze until he blushed and looked away.

The clock chimed nine as owls hooted in the distance.
