Chapter One:

The Story so far

I woke to the sun shining through the emerald green curtains of her very large room. I stayed in bed thinking of my childhood.

I was 6 years old. I was sitting in the park on a swing. Mom was pushing Draco two swings down. He was laughing and I was sitting alone. They never cared for me much.

The sun went away and thunder rolled in the distance. Lighting flashed behind trees.

I was 8 and listening to my father's conversation. There was another man in the room. He sounded young. I did not know it then but that young man would be known as Voldemort someday.

"You Lucious are one of my loyalist followers. I have many jobs for you and Narssica in the future. None must know though." Tom Riddle said unemotionally.

I sneezed then. It gave away my position. My father stepped into the room in rage. The young man left and Lucious raised his wand at me.

"Crucio" he yelled. Pain unbearable pain filled my body. I had passed out every so often and he soon sent me to my room feeling sore and dazed.

"Get down here now Alycia!" mother yelled.

I got up, and left the room. Went down the stairs through the sitting room through the library through the other sitting room and found mom sitting in a green chair by the fireplace.

"You" she said "will be accompanying your father to the ministry tomorrow morning"

"Ok" I said boringly. She looked at me with disgust. I was used to it. "Can I leave now?"

"Yes, go on then! To your unworthy life." She said again with disgust.

I quickly left the room and went to a hidden door in the floor, the house elf rooms. As usual I use my wand to give them some food that I have stored in my room. They love me because of it. Half of them would probably be dead if I didn't give them the extra food.

"Thank you" Minky said in her high voice.
I looked down at her and smiled. "Your welcome, those are good manners Minky"

Minky beamed and ran to her bunk with a big smile and told her friend, Tinsel, of her good manners. None of them ever got complements from anyone else so it always made them happy.

"We made present!" they all shouted together.

"Huh?" I questioned

They brought out a present. It was a little bag made of spare cloth and thread. They must have been gathering all the fabric for years!

"Thank you! Wow it's…um…its very colorful."

"Do you like, Alycia?" Minky asked as she held my hand.

I bent down and gave her a hug. "I love it! Thank you again, ok I have to go now, ill see you all later…bye!"

I walked back up the stairs and up through the trap door. I froze as the trap door slammed shut.

"What were you doing down there?" Mom asked.

"Um…I was just…making sure the house elves brought me an early breakfast tomorrow"

She looked at me with disbelief but I walked away. Outside was stormy so that wasn't an option. I sighed and headed to my room for a day of boredom.
