Halfway Gone
Authors Note: Hey guys, so as you may have noticed, I took down my Draco Malfoy story. I am truly sorry, but I had absolutely no inspiration for it. And I hate to disappoint you all by writing something cruddy. So, as a new idea has been flitting around in my head, I have decided to write a different kind of Harry Potter FanFic. So once again the main character is my own character, and most of the others are made up ones as well. It is a story told through the eyes of a teenage girl that, with others, leads the revolution of Hogwarts. It is a truly inspiring story that my friends and I thought up many years ago, and have perfected the details over the years. Well, I hope you all enjoy! ^_^
You call me vain.
I call it confidence.
You say I'm too loud.
I say let the good times roll.
You think I'm spoiled.
I think I deserve everything I have.
You said I'm worthless.
I said I'll prove you wrong.
It all started on the first day of school. The school Samantha had heard so much about. The school she had dreamt about for weeks.
She was the daughter of two of the most famous witches and wizards in history. Hermione Granger and Victor Krum. So, naturally, she knew all about magic and what was waiting for her at Hogwarts. Yet what she found was much, much more.
"Excuse me? Is this seat open? Everywhere else is full." A small girl with burning red hair asked shyly from behind the sliding glass door. There were two girls around the same age seated opposite each other in the small compartment. One had straight white-blond hair and looked very much like royalty; the other had wavy chocolate brown hair, and looked rather plain. They both nodded. One wore a look of interest, and raised a thin blond brow as the red head sat next to her.
"So what's your name?" The blond asked. "I don't recall ever seeing you before." The other girl gave a small smile.
"My name's Samantha Granger. What's your name?" She asked happily.
"Granger? I could swear that I've heard that name somewhere before…" The blond trailed off in deep thought.
"She must be the daughter of Hermione Granger, the famous witch who helped in the defeat of Voldemort." Samantha looked over to the girl who had had her face hidden behind an enormous book titled: Hogwarts A History. The book was now set neatly beside her, and she was looking at Samantha with a look of interest.
"Yeah, that's` right." Samantha said, nervously biting at her bottom lip.
"Right. My father's told me that story hundreds of times." The blond said nodding.
"I'm Rebecca, Rebecca Lupin." The other girl chimed in. "Sorry for not introducing myself sooner, I was…distracted." She gave her book a longing look, then smiled back up at Samantha.
"Oh that's okay, I don't mind." Samantha said, waving her hands.
"And I'm Anikki Malfoy." The blond spat her last name out as if it burned her tongue.
"Malfoy? Lupin? I've heard a lot about your parents. Well, mostly Lupin. But some about the Malfoy family. My mom's always spoke well of them both." Samantha said.
The three girls began sharing bits and pieces about their lives to each other, all finding that somewhere in the past their parents' lives had mixed together in a way that could only be called fate. All too soon the girls were interrupted by the warning whistle of the train.
"Looks like we'll be arriving soon." Rebecca said, peering out the window. "We'd better change." She turned back to the other two and took a stack of clothes out of the cubby above her head. Anikki did the same, as Samantha searched for hers.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up." She said, pulling down her luggage. The other two nodded and shut the door, talking excitedly as they went.
Samantha sighed, and searched her stuff until she found the school uniform. She quickly shoved her trunk back up to its spot and nearly ran out the door.
The next thing she knew she was on the floor, clothes strewn everywhere.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry, that was completely my fault." She apologized to whoever it was that she'd run over.
"Don't worry about it." Came a slightly older and somewhat deeper voice. She looked up into a face that looked similar to Rebecca's. He had the same deep brown eyes, and friendly smile.
She smiled back at him as he helped her up and gathered the rest of her things up.
"Thank you." She said quietly as he handed her things to her.
"You're welcome. Your first year?" He asked as they walked down the corridor together. "It's my sister's first year as well, and my second." She smiled.
"Would your sister's name happen to be Rebecca Lupin?" She asked, curiosity taking over. He nodded.
"I take it you two have already been acquainted then?" He asked. Samantha nodded.
"She's very nice." She said.
"Hey Sam. What's up Remus?" Rebecca and Anikki appeared out of one of the doors at the end of the corridor. Samantha waved at them enthusiastically, as Remus smiled at his younger sister.
"Oh nothing, just got run down by your new friend here." He said jokingly. Rebecca and Anikki laughed. Remus then glanced over his shoulder.
"Well I better be getting back with Sevarius' chocolate frog, or he'll have my head." Remus said, starting back down the corridor. "You three stay out of trouble." He called back to them.
If only he knew how ironic those words would sound in only a few hours.
In a much later time, two girls were up to mischief in a certain professor's class room. The oldest girl wanted to find out exactly what her dad was hiding from her. She knew it must be important, and she wanted to get her hands on whatever it was. The other girl was simply there because she had nothing else to do, and she took great enjoyment in causing trouble.
"Becky! Hurry up!" A pale girl with short, straight, pitch black hair whispered to her friend. Becky popped her head out from behind a rather large door.
"I'm going as fast as I can!" She whispered back hastily. Becky had short black hair with colored tips that changed according to her mood. In this moment they were fire red.
There was a clicking noise and then Becky whispered excitedly, "We're in." The other girl gave a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay, let's go."
Once in, they discovered a storage room that had many things, yet the thing that stood out the most was something that was thought to have been destroyed long ago.
"A time turner?" Becky asked, looking at the small golden object with a perplexed look. "But I thought they were all destroyed when Harry blew up the Chamber of Mysteries!" She whispered excitedly. The other girl stood beside her, speechless. She reached a thin pale arm out towards the time turner and took it slowly.
"C'mon Becky let's see what it can do! We've only ever read about them!" She said excitedly.
"Sally, wait, what if we get caught?" Becky asked as a bad feeling suddenly came over her.
"So what! It's not like were hurting anything, really." Sally said, sliding the chain over both their heads. With an evil smirk upon her thin face, Sally clicked the turner several times.
"Awe, this stupid thing doesn't even work!" She said, clicking it numerous more times, then wacked it with her hand several times.
Suddenly their world melted away around them, and everything began spinning uncontrollably.
"That's more like it!" Sally yelled excitedly, laughing.
Scenes began clipping into place as the spinning began to slow. Their smiles vanished instantly.
Before them stood the ruins of the battle that had taken place many years before they were born. Bodies were everywhere, bodies of death eaters, of the Order, and of innocent people. The pain etched into this place brought tears to the girls' eyes almost instantly. They fell to their knees as they saw the bodies that the Order members were carrying inside. Remus Lupin, Tonks, and Severus Snape. All people they knew. All people they loved.
"S-Sally…Let's go…please." Becky begged as she tried to peel her eyes from the bloody scene. Sally nodded, and flicked the time turner randomly, not caring where it took them, as long as it was away from there.
They landed amongst grass, directly outside the Hogwarts castle. It was late, as the sky was already dark, and the feast had clearly begun inside.
They both toppled over, not caring where they were just as long as they no longer had to endure the pain of seeing all those bloody bodies. Sally sat up, hearing a crunching sound from beneath her. She then found a smashed time turner.
"Sally! What did you do?" Becky yelled, scooping up all the broken pieces.
"Sorry! It must have slipped off when we fell over!" Sally said, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Sally! What are we going to do?" Becky asked, fear welling up inside her. There was a long pause until Sally finally answered her.
"I don't know Becky, I really don't. We'll just have to stay in this time I guess." Sally said quietly. They both looked up to the castle, each wondering the same things.
What will happen to them? What time frame were they in? Will they ever return to their old lives?
