Chapter 1: A Brand-new Life

Sixteen year old Skye Tessier sat in Central Park. Skye has sky blue hair with tips of white that flared out just beneath her ears and crystal blue eyes. It was Christmas time in the city. Dares, Hogwarts, Salem Academy and all the other schools were out on holiday vacation. She sat against a tree and read a letter with her snowy owl Angel Eyes, Angel for short sat next to her. It was from her best friend Sylvia Cater

Skye,

It's alright here in London, just got let out for the holidays I am staying a week with the Weasley's same with Harry and the next week with my foster parents. They are such a great family.

PS. Xxx's and ooo's

Love

Sylvia

Angel cooed after she was done reading the letter out load for the fifth time.

"I know Angel, I miss her too." She said softly as she stroked her owl's soft feathers. Sylvia Cater and her parents lived in America with the Tessier's. Unlike Skye, Sylvia was born and raised in America until her parents were killed in a car crash about two years ago. Something still seemed fishy how it all had happened. Well, Skye had lived in Hogsmeade until she was four years old and then her and her parents moved to America.

The Tessier's, Cater's and Potter's all attend Hogwarts together. They were all in each other's weddings. They were best friends. Hagrid was also their friend. The reason that Sylvia didn't go to her godparents were because they were dead. You see this is how it went. Skye's godparents would be the Cater's, Sylvia's would be the Potter's and Harry's would be the Tessier's but the Potter's decided to let Sirius Black be his godfather instead. Which if they had it the original way it would have saved him from the Dursley's.

Skye and Sylvia both had their share of unique powers that most others didn't have. Such as Skye could read minds and also tell or feel when something was happening from a distance. Like fifty miles away. If it was someone who she loved and cared about she could see the spell or at least the flash of it and feel their pain. Sylvia was good at predications, visions, stuff like that. They were both on the Quidditich team. Both beaters, Raven was Captain of the Sapphire Ravens and Sylvia was co-captain. It switched every year. But, ever since Sylvia moved then Skye was always captain. Nitro Gutherford was semi-dating Skye wasn't quite official yet. Though she wished it would. He missed Sylvia too, they were all friends. He was a chaser on the Sapphire Raven's team.

Suddenly Skye's ears filled with screams,

"No! Leave Me Alone!" it was a woman's voice. Skye stood up quickly and then she saw flashes of white and felt a pain so terrible that she buckled over trying to stop it. She then realized it was her mother's cry.

"Come on Angel!" she screamed and began to run with panic rising up within her. She went into an ally and checked if the coast was clear quickly when she was sure she said a rhyme as quickly as she could and a door appeared from the stone wall. She entered through it and said a few words to hide it once again. She ran up her stairs to her house and tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Alohamora!" she screamed while white shined before her and pain filled her body. The door flew open and she ran inside. Just as she ran into her living room there laid her mother and her father falling to the ground. The men disappeared quickly into the shadows. Skye fell to her knees in tears. She had a line of blood across her cheek from running through the branches.

"Mum, dad, please, please wake up!" she screamed wishing and hoping that suddenly they would a wake and say it was all a game. But it wasn't a game, it was real. She stood up and held her wand tightly in her grasp and pointed it to the shadows.

"The ones responsible for my parent's death revile yourself!" she commanded as hatred and anger rose up inside of her. A dark figure came out with a few others. All with smirks of their faces, they were deatheaters and Skye knew it.

"Oh, poor little girl; crying for her mum and dad. Too bad they couldn't watch you die as you did your father!" he spat with a tongue of venom.

"No, it is not time for her to die. We have much use for her in the future." A cold voice said behind her.

"Master! But, why?" the follower asked.

"How dare you question me and my authority?" the man spat who Skye now knew was Voldermort.

"I'm sorry master." The man bowed and backed into the shadows once more. Skye then turned to face Voldermort.

"Use? What use do you have of me?" she hissed back.

"It shall all reveal itself all in good time. Now let us leave." And with that they disappeared. Skye just looked down at her parent's lifeless bodies and fell to her knees once more.

Snape ran quickly through the hallways and up to a statue.

"Lemon Drops" he bellowed and the staircase up to Dumbledore's office revealed itself. Professor McGonagall followed close behind him. They both stepped onto the stairs together and rose as the stairs hid themselves once more behind the statue. They opened the door and ran inside. Dumbledore looked up not really surprised to see them but with concern on his face.

"Yes, what is it?" he asked hurriedly.

"The worst has happened Headmaster. He-who-must-not-be-named has attacked in America and has killed Mr. and Mrs. Tessier." Snape said hurriedly in response.

"And what about Skye?" McGonagall asked in complete shock.

"She is still alive. Voldermort spared her life." Snape said.

"I will be leaving at once. Minerva, I am leaving you in charge. Severus, you will assist her." He said and they replied with nods. He quickly grabbed a few things that he needed and then vanished into the night.

With a silent pop a man with a long silver beard and half moon spectacles appeared in front of her. Skye didn't even look up but felt the presences.

"Skye?" Dumbledore said as he kneeled down beside her. Skye looked up at him with a tear soaked face. She had never really seen him before but she knew who he was, it was Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, the great Dumbledore knows my name?" Skye exclaimed and stood up. Dumbledore just smiled.

"Wait, what are you doing here?" Skye asked finally.

"Your parents had written me telling me that they had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen and that if anything had happened to them and you had survived to take care of you and do what I saw fit." He finished. Skye nodded and sat on the couch next to him.

"Now, I know this must be quick seeing what has just taken place. Obviously I was too late to save your parents but not too late save you. Of course we will need to do this in about three days' at the very least, a week at the longest. I am sure you would want a proper burial for them?" he said.

"Yes, I would thanks but could that be two days from now? Or is tomorrow the latest?" Skye asked.

"Well, you see Skye, I wish I could give you all the time in the world but you have to understand I cannot. But, two days from now I believe will be reasonable. Tomorrow I will make all the arrangements, go to visit the minister of magic, review the will and its terms. Now, I understand you are attending Dares School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…." He paused and Skye nodded in response. "And you are on vacation as well as Hogwarts?" she nodded once more. She was amazed that he knew about Dares but then again it wasn't that much of a surprise. Everyone here basically knew about Hogwarts but Sylvia was one of few who knew about Dares who attended Hogwarts, they mostly heard of Salem Academy.

"Perfect, now I would like to keep you here in America and not up root you from your home but, the Cater's were your godparents none the less and now they are dead. So you will come to London with me and live with your godfather who is said by your parents if anything should happen to the Cater's which it has then this man will be your guardian. Many people don't agree with this but this is how it is. So, go get rested up for tomorrow and the next." Dumbledore finished and then left her sitting there. He didn't mean to be so pushy and urgent but Skye knew that he had to be. She slowly walked upstairs and went into her parent's room. She laid on the bed and cried for hours until she fell asleep. It was about 4am when she finally woke up and then fell back asleep once more.

When Skye finally got back up it was the day of her parent's burial. The whole first day while Dumbledore made arrangements she sat up in her parent's room crying and sleeping. She got up wearing flannel bottoms and a tank top under a sweatshirt. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen where at the island sat Dumbledore.

"Good Morning Skye!" he exclaimed happy to see her. She smiled softly and sat down across from him.

"Good Morning Dumbledore." She replied.

"Would you like some breakfast? Pancakes, bacon, and apple juice perhaps?" he asked her.

"Oh yes, that sounds divine." She replied and with a swipe of his wand they appeared in front of her. She ate slowly and then went upstairs. She changed into a pair of jeans and boots. She kept the same tank top and sweatshirt on. She walked downstairs.

"Um, Dumbledore, can I ask you a question?" Skye asked.

"Yes, you may." Dumbledore said.

"Who is my godfather now?" she replied.

"Rubius Hagrid. Do you remember him?" Dumbledore asked.

"I believe so, a giant? Shaggy with a big black dog named Fang?" she said.

"Yes, very good. He is the gamekeeper at Hogwarts. (Well groundkeeper)" Dumbledore said. Skye looked out the window at the snow falling softly to the ground.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Dumbledore asked. Skye couldn't believe that he knew there was something else.

"You said early that most people don't agree with him being my godfather. Why?" she asked

"I would love to explain but it's too long to explain now. I would love to after the service. Anything else?" he replied.

"Oh just that is it ok if I go for a quick walk before the burial. I want to pick my parents favorite flowers, there the ones that survive during winter. The Larkspur and Arabidopsis Thaliana." Skye said.

"Go ahead, take your time. The funeral isn't until 1o'clock." Dumbledore replied, Skye smiled and then proceeded towards the door.

"Don't forget your coat." Dumbledore said in his mind.

"Thanks for reminding me." Skye replied back in her mind as she grabbed her coat and slipped it on while she ran down the stairs.

Around 12:45 Skye returned to her house. When she walked in Dumbledore was sitting on the couch in the living room wearing his darkest shade of blue robes. Dumbledore stood up and walked over to Skye.

"Oh there beautiful, I think they would appreciate this very much so. Now, I will take those. Secondly, are you going to change or stay as you are?" Dumbledore asked. Skye looked down at what she was wearing and decide to do something that she would probably never do again. Except when the Cater's died of course.

"I will be right back." She went upstairs and when she came down she had a black dress on and her hair done up. Suddenly there was a flash and in Dumbledore's hand was a camera. All she could do was laugh.

"Dumbledore, how could you?" she asked. He just shrugged.

"Had to savor the moment; besides its nice black mail material." He smiled softly and handed her a letter with an envelope.

"This is a letter from your parents. They have given you their wedding rings and your mothers necklace." He paused and put the chain around her neck with the rings on it.

"They have left you the house but you can not have it or anything inside of it until your 18 and have graduated Hogwarts. That was their last request." Dumbledore finished and they headed out.

As they walked down the main street of the magical part of New York City there was witches and wizards in their darkest colors of mourning and were crying out loud. The witches once they set sight on Skye cried even louder. They then finally arrived at the cemetery and laid her parents to rest. They then went to Derwent Fudge, Cornelius Fudge's cousin house. Derwent Fudge was honored by this because he was of course the minister of magic in New York. Skye stood with Dumbledore and every once in a while a witch or wizard would approach to tell her how sorry they were. Then the Minister of Magic approached them.

"Dumbledore how is everything at Hogwarts? Fine, I presume." He asked.

"Fine, fine, everything's just fine. How about here?" Dumbledore replied.

"Oh just wonderful; we have lost two great and wonderful people two days ago and two others two years ago. I am so sorry for your lose Skye." He said.

"Thank you, I appreciate everything that you have done. I'm sorry I have to use the little girl's room, could possibly point me in that direction?" Skye replied politely.

"Oh of course dear; just go up those stairs and it will be the second door on your right." He answered. Skye nodded and proceeded upstairs. She walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. She put the toilet seat down and sat there with her head in her hands. She just needed a break from it all.

Suddenly without knowing she tuned in on Dumbledore's conversation with the Minister of Magic.

"Now, I suppose you are taking Skye with you to London and she will be attending Hogwarts?" he asked.

"Yes, that was her parent's wishes, if something had happened to the Cater's." Dumbledore replied.

"And something has, so I presume that it was Rubius Hagrid that they put as her godfather if something did happen?" the minister asked concerned.

"Yes, that was there wish." He replied.

"Do you really see fit for Hagrid to be raising a sixteen year old girl; what with his history and all with the Chamber of Secrets and all?"

"I would trust Hagrid with my life. I believe she will be just fine. And, we both know that since then Hagrid has been proven innocent." Dumbledore said ever so smoothly. Mr. Fudge could only nod, and decided not to argue.

"Excuse Derwent but I must go check and see if Skye is alright." Dumbledore said and walked away not giving the minister time to answer.

Skye stopped listening at this point, right before he said that and opened the door. She jumped back about two feet and caught her breath. Standing there in the doorway was Dumbledore, not expecting to see him when she opened the door, it startled her.

"Gee, scare me half to death would you?" she exclaimed.

"I was just wondering if you were ready to go or if you wanted to go back down talk some more with total strangers, most of them." Dumbledore asked,

"Oh, no I am ready to leave, I am more than ready to leave. I'd rather not get nagged by one more person." She replied, He smiled and proceeded down the stairs and out the front door.

"Would you like to stop and get something to drink?" Dumbledore asked.

"Sure, if it's your treat." Skye said with a half smile.

"Of course." He said,

"You know I was only kidding, right?" she asked.

"I know you were." He paused and Skye sighed with relief. "But I wasn't" he finished. Skye looked at him and decided not to argue. They arrived at the Black Cat and sat down in a dark booth in the back. Dumbledore ordered a lemon-lime soda and Skye ordered a apple pop. They sipped their soda and Dumbledore suddenly looked at Skye. She looked up at him wondering what he was going to say.

"Something's on your mind. What is it that is bothering you?" he asked.

"What's this about Hagrid and why people don't agree and trust him?" she asked.

"Well, there has been mistakes that he has made in the past." He replied.

"Anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets perhaps?" she asked.

"You overheard my conversation with Derwent haven't you, doing a little eavesdropping have you?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"Oh, no never eavesdropping, but yes I heard it." She said slowly.

"Its fine Skye, I figured you had. Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yeah, Salazar Slytherein was said to have built a chamber under Hogwarts that only his one true heir could open. He wanted to be more selective on students who were accepted into Hogwarts. Dares is included but yeah and inside the chamber lived a Basilisk. But I can't understand how that has anything to do with Hagrid."

"I am guessing you also know about Hagrid's love for big and exotic beasts as well." He asked pleasantly and Skye nodded.

"Well, he had a pet spider about 50 or so years ago in Hogwarts while he was attending it; named Aragog. He was accused of opening it and killing the muggle-born girl. It was only his year and Tom Riddle's sixth. Do you know who Tom Riddle is?"

"Voldermort and isn't true, Voldermort did open the Chamber and not Hagrid?" Skye replied hurriedly.

"Yes, everyone knows that now. Hagrid was expelled because of it. But, people still won't give poor Hagrid a chance." Dumbledore paused, "Do you also know that about three years ago Tom put a memory of his sixteen year old self into the pages of a diary that took over Ginny Weasley? In return Harry defeated Voldermort for the third time." He finished.

"No, I didn't know that Voldermort did that." Skye answered.

"I am so happy that you, as Harry can say his name without a glint of fear." He said.

Skye and Dumbledore finished their drinks and left. That night Skye packed her things and went to bed in her parent's bed. She woke up the next morning, got dressed and walked downstairs. Once she reached the final stair the door opened and there on the threshold stood the American Minister of Magic, holding a document. The minister bowed low and then smiled at Skye and Dumbledore.

"We have provided a car Headmaster Dumbledore. Also here are the contracts from the will." He said with a glint of excitement in his eye.

"Oh thank you but we won't need the car. We will be walking up the hill and taking a portkey and taking the Express from there." Dumbledore replied.

"Here are the contracts you wanted." The minister replied.

"Ah, Skye, your parents have left you this house, property and all of their possessions the same with the Cater's." Dumbledore said.

"Well, ok." Skye said, not knowing what to say.

"Derwent, the house is to be under Skye's name and will decide all to do with everything but she won't have full power of them until next year when she graduates from Hogwarts. Now, Skye what would you like to do with the Cater's things?" he asked.

"Give them to Sylvia of course." She replied.

"Of course and the same goes for Sylvia Minister; thank you. Now, Skye may we be on our way? Oh, and Derwent, I will expect a copy of all those on my desk in my office sometime soon please." Dumbledore called as they proceeded down the road towards the hill where the portkey laid.
