I've had this idea for a while but didn't know how to start it. It came to me in a flash of inspiration, in other words I was day dreaming in Science XD

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Elena and the plot.

Oh and if I messed up on the years, excuse that, I'm terrible at math XD

15 years earlier

"Bellatrix, I have a job for you." The Dark Lord called his most faithful servant into his office.
"Yes, my Lord?" The woman ghosted over to the man she served.
The noseless man took a deep breath, "Bellatrix, I need a son, and I know you can give me that."
The woman had never looked so honored, "Yes, Lord, if I may ask, why do you need a son when you have everything?"
"Well, I need someone to teach someone my secrets, and who better to teach then my own flesh and blood." Voldemort said, gesturing around the room. It was mostly for show as Bellatrix had already noticed the king sized bed in the room.
"Lord." She gasped as he captured her lips in a fiery kiss.

Voldemort willed the woman to get pregnant, so the woman did. The thing that the Dark Lord didn't know was soon after the child was born he would lose his power, and the mother of his child would get carted off to Azkaban leaving his daughter an orphan. She was taken to a muggle orphanage, not knowing she was a wizard until the day she turned eleven.

Present time

-----

I sat with my two best friends at the Hogwarts welcoming feast. I was getting extremely tired of Ron and Hermione, they were getting red every time they started to say something to eachother. Something must have happened over the holiday.

Ron seemed to turn his attention to me, "Harry, you don't look excited, we're sixth years, we have free periods and..."

Ron drabbled on about the privledges of being a sixth year, and Harry let his attention wander. I noticed a girl staring at me from a bit further down the Gryffindor table. She was extremely pretty with curling black hair that went half way down her back. It was no where close to Hermione's bushy mess, and it looked like she used a muggle curling iron. She had eyes so dark they looked black, despite this her skin was fair with no blemishes.

"Hermione, who is that?" Harry interupted Ron, never taking my eyes off the girl. She noticed me staring and blushed, it really was lovely. She cast her dark eyes down.

"I'm surprised you don't recognize her from her sorting; her name is Elena and she's in the year below us." Hermione said.

"Hermione, I wasn't at that sorting, why should I remember her though?" I asked, still not adverting my eyes.

"She took the longest time to sort in Hogwarts history." Hermione was using her most know-it-all voice.

"That's nice, how come I haven't noticed her before?" I didn't know how I had never seen the beautiful girl I had just become infatuated with.

"Well, she looks quite different from last year, but of course you wouldn't have noticed anyways." Hermione smirked.

For the first time I moved my eyes away from the girl to roll them at Hermione's smiling face. I now felt stupid for spending so much time chasing Cho Chang, mostly because she was a troll compared to Elena, and not to mention Elena probably was not obsessed with a dead boyfriend.

"I'm going over there." I said, not waiting for my friend's responses. I walked over to the girl, sitting down right beside her.

Her friends immediatly stopped talking, I coughed, trying to make my voice work, "Hello."

Elena's eyes popped wide open, and she sucked in a small gasp, but other than that, remained composed, "Hi, I'm Elena."

She was blushing beautifully, and I could feel my own face getting hot, "I'm Harry."

"I know." Elena smiled.

"So, you're a fifth year." I said the first thing that came to mind, and mentally hitting myself for sounding so stupid.

"Oh, yes, how'd you know?" Elena said akwardly.

"Ginny, I saw her over here." I said quickly, not wanting her to know that I asked about her.

Ginny blushed, Elena raised an eyebrow "Oh, how do you know Ginny?"

"She's my best friend's sister," I pointed at Ron, "I spend nearly every summer at their house."

"Oh, that's nice to have a friend like that, I still spend summers in that horrible muggle orphanage." Elena wrinkled her thin, straight nose.

I wasn't sure what to say, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, at least I have Hogwarts, it became my home." Elena said, and I could feel my jaw drop.

"I feel the same way." I said with absolute honesty.

"Wow." Elena smiled.

"Er, Elena, next would you like to come with me to the next hogsmede day?" I asked quickly.

"Of course, Harry!" Elena said excitedly.

At that moment the desert appeared on the table. I looked longingly at the treacle tart, wishing I had brought my plate.

"You look like you want some." Elena pointed out.

"Yea, but I don't want to leave and my plate is all the way over there." I said, looking at Ron and Hermione.

"Just eat off my plate." She said, scooping some treacle tart on her plate.

"Thanks, but I would need a fork." I smiled with slight embarassment.

"No problem." Elena smiled, scooping as much treacle tart as she could with two of her fingers, and smearing it all over my lips. I licked it off quickly.

"This means war!" I said, taking some pie and smushing it on her nose. I wasn't sure why, but I felt an instant connection with the dark haired girl.

We went on fighting like that before McGonagal came over, "Harry, Elena, detention!"

"But?" I asked.

"You're to old for such silly stunts, I want you both in my office at six o' clock!" McGonagal said, shaking her head and walking back up to the staff table. I hadn't noticed, but the whole Great Hall went silent watching our food fight. They slowly started talking again.

"Well, that was early." Elena said, and I felt laughter bubbling up to my lips.

Elena glared at me at first, then slowly smiled. Soon we were both doubled over laughing, and the people surrounding us were staring.

The laughing was short lived, because Dumbledore stepped up to his podium. He said his usual warnings about the forrest, and Filch's list of things that are banned.

"...And one last thing," he continued, his face now serious, "as you all know, a wizard you know as Lord Voldemort has now come out in the open, and like you saw, aurors have been posted at every entrance and exit, so I want you to be careful, it has not been more important than it is this year, bed!"

Dumbledore's blue eyes never left mine, I nodded seriously along with his words. When he yelled the final word, I got up, helping Elena too.

"Hey, can I introduce you to my friends?" I asked, going red.

"I would love to meeet your friends Harry." Elena smiled, showing every one of her white teeth.

"Let's catch up with them." I took her hand and we rushed forward to meet Ron and Hermione, they looked kind of surprised to see us holding hands.

"Hermione, Ron, this is Elena." I smiled, and we walked toward our common room.

"Hello, Elena." Hermione holds out a delicate hand for Elena to shake. Elena shook it quickly, turning to Ron.

"Hi, I'm Ron, and I'm not really the hand shaking type." Ron settled for a small wave.

"Well hi Ron, I'm Elena and I'm an alcoholic." Elena said, and Hermione and I laughed loudly. Ron just looked confused.

"Wait, I don't get it." Ron whined, his voice matching his puzzled face.

After Hermione stopped laughing she explained, "There's a muggle group called alcoholics anonymous, and people go there when they want to solve their drinking problem, that's how they have to introduce themeselves."

"Oh, well goodnight." Ron still sounded confused as he slapped me on the back and walked up the stairs.

I wasn't tired in the least, "Want to sit and talk for a while?"

I pointed the question at both girls, and they both agreed, so we went and sat on the long couch in front of the fire.

"So you're muggleborn?" Hermione asked Elena when we sat down.

"Well, I'm actually not sure, I was left on the step of a muggle orphanage when I was only a few weeks old." Elena said, she reminded me of me when I talked about the Dursleys. It was very obvious she wasn't looking for pity, and I liked her even more for that.

"Poor thing." Hermione said.

"It's really not bad, they leave me alone." Elena looked uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'm going on up." Hermione said, standing up and yawning.

"Me too." Elena said, starting to follow Hermione.

I grabbed Elena's wrist, "Wait a second."

Hermione looked back and smiled when she saw me holding her wrist, "Goodnight guys."

"Yes Harry?" Elena asked.

"Well, I've only known you for about an hour but I think your funny and beautiful and silly and perfect," I said in one breath, "and I know I'm about to sound like a second year, but will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course, Harry!" Elena hugged me around my neck.

I kissed her on her forehead, "Let's get to bed."

And we went our seperate ways.
