Addilyn Bancroft and the Sorcerer's Stone

by SandyBeckman

It's hard when your past holds on to you. Addilyn Bancroft had lost all hope. When she gets her Hogwarts letter, she realizes this was her way out. This was her way to new adventures, opportunities, friends, and a world where she wasn't an outcast. This story is designed to rekindle the excitement we all probably had when we read Harry Potter.

1. Prologue

Alright. Time to start fresh.

If you have read my first version of this fic, erase that. Erase all of that from your mind, Obliviate yourself, do whatever- but that died. Except for some parts. But yeah, do what I told you. Also, expect better. Review me harder. I have learned as much as I could. Also, keep in mind that the whole storyline is skewed because of Addilyn's existence. There will be changes, and there will be a bunch of them.

Thanks for sticking with me. You guys are awesome.

Addilyn Bancroft was an 11 year old and had a nice family, a nice house, a nice life, and basically nice everything. Her brothers and sisters were all older than her, but that didn't stop her from happiness- she could always look up to one of her two brothers or sister. Of course, Addilyn would get jealous sometimes, but that was nothing compared to the love she had for all of them.

Her older brothers Jeremiah and Jacob (twins, age 13), older sister Andrea (age 18), mom Angelina, and dad William.

Her life was perfect.

That was before...the incident.

She and her sister were at Diagon Alley, shopping for school supplies. Addilyn had already gotten her Hogwarts letter, but Diagon Alley wasn't new to her. She had been here countless times. Her mother gave them quite a few Galleons, and Addilyn and Andrea also added their birthday money to the already large sack of coins.

Addilyn got an owl, a couple of new books (she could get the rest from her siblings), new black robes, a wand from Ollivander (beech wood, 12 ½ inches, phoenix feather core, and unbending flexibility, Addilyn remembered it by heart), a cauldron, and a bunch of other things that Andrea got from Addilyn's school supply list.

Addilyn tried not to remember it. She really tried, but it always comes back to her. Her whole family, staring lifeless into the ceiling. She tries not to remember staring in horror, her sister already sobbing like she never had before.

Addilyn went to her room. She watched as rain started to pour out her window. Her tears were no match to the rain outside, and she sobbed until she could sob no longer.
