Chapter 1

What Really Happened?

I was laying under the covers of my mom's and dad's bed, wondering when my parents would come upstairs. My twin sister, Alex, was snoring next to me, and my younger brother, Harry, was fast asleep in between Alex and me. Alex and Harry had trouble falling asleep earlier, but at about 11:45, their heads hit the pillow. It was about 1:00 AM now, but I couldn't fall asleep. I was three, and I still thought the monsters from the outdoors would come in. My mom told us four hours ago she would come upstairs and lay down. All of a sudden, BANG, the door slammed. Alex shot up, awake.

Then all Alex and I of them heard a strange voice. It sounded like a high and cold man's voice with a sore throat. The man must have asked a demanding question because their dad yelled ," Never in my life!!"

The man shouted "AVADA KEDAVRA",then there was a crashing sound. Now Harry was wide awake.

Finally, our mom ran upstairs. She told me, Alex, and Harry this," Now kids, you may never remember this, but I love you. Your father died trying to protect you and it's because he loved you. Now hide beneath the covers." and she gave us a kiss and two hugs. Then, she ran and guarded the door.

Ten seconds later there was another shout, " AVADA KEDAVRA", and another crashing sound. Harry , being only 1 and a half, sat up and cried "MOMMY". That was probably the last thing she ever heard. Then Alex and I sat up and we were staring into the blood red eyes of Voldemort. With his wand pointing straight at us, he screeched " AVADA KEDAVRA". The pain was un imaginable. It was as if there were needles stabbing me at every point. I thought that i was going to die. I remember a sharp pain in my head and then i passed out.

The noise of Uncle Sirius's motorcycle woke me up. The house was on very bad shape and Voldemort's cloak lay on the floor in front of the bed The door opened and shut again. I hid beneath the covers not wanting to get hurt again. I heard heavy footsteps coming into our room.

Some one said, "ah Harry," and then scooped him up away from the spot next to me. I wanted to get up and get him, but i was really scared and almost frozen with fear. After the motor cycle sound faded away i slowly drifted back to sleep

"Lexi? Lexi?" you up?" Alex yells early in the morning.

"Yah," i say and roll out of bed. I think i hear someone downstairs and yell, " MOMMA? WHERE YA GO?" Then my worst memory, my mom's body laying sprawled out on the floor in front of me. All of the memories from the night before hit me, and i fell over and cried over my mom's body. After crying for a while i got up to look for food. Alex was crying behind me, and she also followed me down the stairs.

I walked into the kitchen and climbed on the counter. I opened the cupboards and found all of our favorite cereals sitting neatly behind those protected walls. I remember wishing that we were all in that cupboard last night and started crying again. With many tears rolling down my cheeks, i grabbed the most colourful cereal that i saw and climbed down.

The rest of that breakfast was quite quiet, apart from our almost silent sniffles. After oi was done, I got up and went up the stairs and went back to sleep.

* * * *

At about lunch time, I woke up to voices downstairs. I became scared and for some reason, went back downstairs.

"Oh it is so tragic, isn't Edgar?" a female's voice said. The voice sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

"Just terrible, dearest Chrysanthemum. Where do you suppose the other two are? I heard that it was only Harry that got rescued." a male asked. It sounded like dads, but different some how. I walk all of the way down the stairs and stood in the kitchen.

Two adults in trench coats were standing in the middle of the mess I made this morning. The female looked away and saw me. A smile spread across her face. I then realized who the two were.

"Aunt Chrissie! Uncle Eddy!" I shouted than ran up and hugged them.
