I OWN NOTHING BUT THE BATASKILLS
Sequel to Christina Bataskill's 3rd Year at Hogwarts: Recap for those who didn't read it:
Lily and James Potter and only son Harry Potter, good friends with Katherine and Greg Bataskill and their daughter Christina Bataskill. On the night Lord Voldemort attacked The Potters, Katherine and Greg had already been killed a week earlier. They being members of the Order were doomed to die the minute they joined. The Potters took Christina in, the night of the attack Christina and Harry both playing upstairs. Voldemort killed James and then ran upstairs to get Lily and Harry. He killed Lily but when he went to attack Harry his spell hit Harry square in the forehead, as well as in Christina's hand. A lightning bolt scar now adorns Harry's forehead as well as Christina's right hand. The spell rebounded from the two of them and ended Voldemort.
After this Dumbledore, Hagrid, and McGonagall gave Harry to his Aunt and Uncle, and Christina went with an adoptive family in America. Dumbledore was sure he wanted to split the two of them up. After 11 years Harry Potter got his Hogwarts acceptance letter and Christina Bataskill remained in the States for two more years. After the events that take place after Harry's first and second year (Voldemort attempting to kill him, as well as Tom Riddle's Diary and a basilisk) Dumbledore realized how lonely Harry must feel being a target and having so much weight on his shoulders. So, he decided to bring Christina to Hogwarts.
An August afternoon Dumbledore, McGonagall, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, and Hagrid all appear on a beach in sunny California to find Christina. She's there with her adopted mother and brother and Dumbledore goes ahead and produces a silencing charm as well a freezing spell on both her adoptive mother and brother. She was very confused at first but understood later and realized she had made things happen before that couldn't be explained. She agreed and went off with the group to Diagon Alley.
Off the bat she became very close with Harry and Fred. She loved to joke around with Fred so they got along well and Harry and she had so much in common that it was impossible to not like him. Hermione and George came next and then Ron and Ginny. Christina got to stay at the Burrow with the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione for the next week before Hogwarts school began. She got all of her school supplies with them as well. Her pet being a dyed-blue Owl that Fred accidentally dyed a big orange spot on it's wing. Next stop, Hogwarts.
The school year was quite interesting, Sirius Black a, then thought to be, mass murderer that turned out to be Harry's godfather tried to kill them. Meanwhile Christina found out that Remus Lupin was her uncle and became very close with him. Upon arriving at Hogwarts she noticed that no other students shared a certain power that she did. After talking to Dumbledore about it, she found out that she possesses "Natural Power" a manipulation of the elements basically. Christina could possess the power of the earth, so she could move dirt, gravel, metal, and sand. The only people that knew about this were Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Weasley twins, and most of the teachers. She felt quite weird about her natural power, like an outsider.
Christina was sorted into Gryffindor House after an argument with the sorting hat about being placed in Syltherin, and also made the Quidditch Team. The team consisted of Oliver Wood-Keeper, Harry Potter-Seeker, Fred Weasley and George Weasley-Beaters, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, and Christina Bataskill-Chasers. Throughout the year she found it very difficult to keep up with the third years, and found solace in Fred Weasley and his antics. They started dating in February after a party in the Room of Requirement Fred and George put on. At the end of the school year the quad went down to go see off Hagrid's most recent pet Buckbeak but were sidetracked when Ron's rat ran away and Ron got taken down into the Shrieking Shack by a big black dog. The three of them pursued Ron and the dog and found Sirius Black in the Shack, a bloodied Ron and a few seconds later Remus Lupin who immediately hexed Christina which attached her arms and ankles against the wall behind her and two red rings around her wrists. She tried to use her natural power but because of Lupin's hex it didn't work. As Lupin explained to the group about Sirius being innocent, Ron's rat being a mass murdering Animagus Peter Pettigrew, Snape walked in, ready to bound Sirius. Fortunately Harry shut him up and cursed him unconscious. After we got Pettigrew and Lupin removed the charm from her wrists they headed out of the Shack ready to show Dumbledore the truth when professor Lupin transformed into a werewolf and attempted to attack the group. Christina sent massive boulders his way but he just fought them off. Pettigrew got away and Harry ran after Sirius while Hermione, Ron, and Christina stayed back because of Snape. They went back to the castle and got their wounds checked out and just as the clock stroke midnight Dumbledore came in and they tried to explain everything that happened and he instead asked Hermione to use her time-turner to fix things. And they did just that, saved Buckbeak, saved Sirius, Harry performed a Patronus charm so big he stopped over 100 dementors. Although Pettigrew still got away, and Sirius will never be a free man because of it.

Chapter 1 The Riddle House
Tossing in her sleep again. No surprises there. She had been staying up late most nights this summer to try and counteract the bad dreams. Maybe if she was so exhausted her brain could do nothing but sleep, however this didn't always work. She awoke in her Finsbury Park, London flat with a jolt from a dream about Lupin as a werewolf, trying to attack her. This was a reoccurring dream and she hated it every time. She looked at her phone and saw that it was 6:23am, just another 7 minutes until her alarm clock went off...great. She got up and brushed her teeth, went to the bathroom, and got dressed and ready for work. This summer she'd be away from the muggles and off in London where she could be as close to Hogwarts as possible. Every now and then she would see Cedric Diggory at Hogwarts whenever she'd visit. He was the only person not in Gryffindor that knew about her natural power. He was working at Hogwarts that summer doing any work he could to get paid, trying to look like a better candidate for jobs in his upcoming year. Together they'd joke around, share a cigarette on top of the astronomy tower, help around etc. It was fun hanging out with Ced, but she would be heading back to Hogwarts full time soon, for it was only a few more weeks till September 1st.
Still dating Fred Weasley she would frequently fly to the Burrow to hang out with him or to bring him to London to hang out with her. Since she could fly with her natural power (on a levitating boulder, levitating mud-cakes under her shoes, or just simply by turning her entire body into dust and riding in the wind) it wasn't breaking any school rules, definitely one of the perks to being a freak. She had been invited by Fred Weasley to join his family and Harry to the Quidditch World Cup this summer and she agreed with no hesitation. She loved everything magic, and especially since she was a member of the Quidditch Team this would be the perfect opportunity for her.
Two nights before the Quidditch World Cup she had another awful nightmare. An ancient house upon a hill sat with thousands of vines covering the entire building. All lights off and pitch black outside an old man watched the house suspiciously. He had worked at that house for many years, it was clear, and noticed some strange activity going on. He walked to the house with a walking stick assuming young boys had started a fire in the attic. He entered the house confidently and as he creaked his way upstairs he heard adult men talking. He listened further to hear such names as Wormtail, my Lord, and Nagini. Names that were quite unfamiliar to Frank Bryce, but something stuck out in his mind. There was a contemplation as whether to get Christina or Harry...he didn't understand. They argued over how well protected they both were but the "Lord" had a plan that would get them in a few months...get who? Frank, now coated in sweat, thought about running to the police. There was a man in here with a voice as cold as ice, and a murderer too. But before Frank could move he heard hissing and then a massive snake pass by him on the staircase. He was paralyzed with fear, and then to make matters worse the cold voice spoke about him to "Wormtail". "there is an old Muggle standing right outside this room, listening to every word we say. Invite him in...where are your manners". And just like that, he entered the room to see the back of an arm chair in front of a fireplace and a another man that had tuffs of hair and was pale. "You heard everything Muggle? said the cold voice. "What's the you're calling me? "I am calling you a Muggle, it means that you are not a wizard" it said again. "I don't know what you mean by wizard, all I know is I've heard enough to interest the police tonight, I have. You've done murder and you're planning more! And I'll tell you this too, my wife knows I'm up here, and if I don't come back-" "You have no wife" it said nastily, "Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not like to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows...he always knows..."
"Is that right? Lord, is it? Well, I don't think much of your manners, My Lord. Turn 'round and face me like a man, why don't you?" he said now more defiantly than ever. "But I am not a man, Muggle, I am much more than a man. However...why not? I will face you... Wormtail, come turn my chair around." Now the servant was getting scared, but the cold voice pressed on. "You heard me, Wormtail." As the man turned the chair around Frank saw just what was speaking and let his walking stick fall to the floor as he screamed in fear as Voldemort cursed him into damnation. A flash of green light later and Christina herself screamed as she awoke.
