Ch. 1 Hallie
Kill them! Now! Hallie Black woke with a start from the horrible nightmare. The same horrible nightmare that she had almost every night since she could remember. The nightmare was of the night her parents had been killed bye one of the darkest sorcerers in the world. Said to be the second darkest only to his brother Lord Voldemort. Hallie's parents had been killed when she was only four. Fours years after Voldemort had fallen in Britain. All she remembered from that night was a blinding green light, screams and a horrible burning sensation on her forehead where she now had a lightning shaped scar.
Hallie hurriedly threw the covers off her sweaty body and looked at her alarm clock. It read 4:36. Hallie climbed out of bed and walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She leaned against the counter for a few minutes to stop her racing heart. She took the glass of water back to her room and some how fell back to sleep.
She awoke the next morning to find rays of sun drifting into her bedroom and birds chirping happily outside her window. She again glanced at her clock.
"Wow. Its already 9:52." She said to her cat Schnurrli, who was purring sleepily at the foot of her bed. It was two weeks into summer and Hallie had taken up the habit of sleeping late. She pulled the covers back and walked to the kitchen still in her plaid pajama bottoms.
"Morning Sam." Hallie said as she poured her self some orange juice.
"Morning Hallie. Slept a bit late this morning, huh?" Sam asked as he drank his coffee and read the wizard paper, The Daily Prophet.
" Not really." She answered. "Anything from Sirius yet?"
"Sorry Hallie, not yet." Sam replied.
Sirius Black was Hallie's uncle. Her dad's brother. She would go live with Sirius but he was on the run from the Ministry of Magic for serious crimes he didn't commit. So Hallie was living with her dad's best friend and appointed godfather, Sam Harding. Hallie had been orphaned by the death of her parents when she was four. Since then she had been in and out of several foster homes and orphanages. All of them had been far less than pleasant. Usually when a foster parent found out she was a witch they sent her right back to the orphanage. At the orphanage she wasn't liked very much because she often made strange things happen when she was upset and got teased about it. On her tenth birthday though she got lucky and Sam showed up. He had just moved to a quiet suburb near Boston all the way from Britain. He later told he had gotten word from a close friend that she was there so he came and adopted her. He then told her all about her uncle Sirius who was in Azkaban at the time and a boy her age named Harry Potter whose family had been murdered by Voldemort and how Harry had the same scar as her. Sam also told her how Sirius was Harry's godfather and all about how Harry had escaped being murdered by Voldemort like she had escaped being murdered by Voldemort's brother. She had learned all that almost six years ago. Now she was almost 16 and enjoying her two month summer vacation from the Wizarding School she regularly attended.
She sat down at the table next to Sam with her orange juice and a bowl of cereal.
"Doing anything today?" Sam asked her over his paper.
"Probably not." Hallie answered between mouth fulls of Lucky Charms.
"Good, 'cause I have some bad news."
"What news?" Hallie asked slowly.
"We're moving." He answered.
"Where to?"
"Britain."
"Why Britain?" Hallie asked. "That's so far away."
"I know hun, but its so we can be closer to your uncle and he wants me there to help look after Harry." He answered, obviously hoping Hallie wouldn't be to upset.
"Can't Harry look after himself?" She whined. "And what about school? I've only got two more years left and I'm the only Keeper the house quidditch team has! I don't reckon I can play quidditch there!"
"Just hear me out Hallie." He pleaded, "Harry needs all the protection he can get. And so do you. Sirius is afraid that Voldemort is getting strong again and will try to go after Harry. And once he's finished with Harry come after you looking for revenge for the death of his brother."
"But I didn't kill his brother" Hallie insisted. "He killed himself."
"I know that, but Voldemort doesn't" Sam said as Hallie rolled her eyes obviously still upset. " As for school you'll be going to Hogwarts. With Harry. Its already been arranged with the headmaster Professor Dumbledore. And you can also try out for the house quidditch team. I hear Gryffindor needs a new Keeper."
"Fine." Hallie said. "I'm just not even gonna argue."
"That's my girl. Do you know that your father and uncle went to Hogwarts?" Sam asked trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah, I know. That's where you went too." She said not any happier.
Hallie slowly finished her breakfast after Sam had told her that they were leaving in a week. Before he had left to run errands, Sam had also told her to start packing her things and that there were extra boxes in the garage if she needed them.
After she finished her breakfast she walked slowly to her room trying to hold back tears. What was she going to tell her friends? Especially her Muggle friend Amy who lived next door? Amy was her best friend in the whole world and the only person who was nice to her when she first moved here and still had to go to the Muggle school. Amy had been the only person who didn't make horrible jokes about the jagged scar on her forehead. Hallie wouldn't know what to do without Amy.
"Britain." Hallie muttered under her breath as she looked into the dresser mirror. She examined her face. Her bight green eyes, light brown curly hair and the thin lightning shaped scar. Every time she looked at her reflection, horrible memories came flooding into her mind. The blinding light, the terrifying screams. And the terrible burning sensation on her forehead.
"Britain, Schnurrli." She said to the orange cat still sleeping on her bed as she brushed her bangs over her forehead. "Were moving to Britain."
Just then her owl, Streaker came flying in through the window. He held an envelope in his beak. Hallie took the envelope from his beak and rushed to take out the parchment from inside.
"Finally, Sirius wrote me back." She said out loud. She read it over then read it out loud to her pets.
Dear Hallie,
I hope you summer is going well. I also hope your god father told you about moving to Britain. I've already told Harry that you're coming. And we've got it all set up with Dumbledore so you can go to Hogwarts. I'm sorry about having to take you from your home and friends, but it's the safest thing we can do at the time. I hope you understand.
Love, Your Uncle Sirius.
Hallie folded the letter up and shoved it back into the envelope and quickly got dressed. She stalked out of the room leaving the letter on her dresser and headed towards Amy's house to tell her the bad news.
