This is my first Fanfic NOT Severus Snape based! This is a fanfic that starts when Ariana was 6. She does NOT die in this.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
I was barely six. I had been doing magic in the yard when it happened-when those Muggles attacked me. Of course I couldn't control my magic at the time, so how could I defend myself or not use it at all? Well, I was out in out yard, playing with the plants, watching them sprout back to life-at least the ones that had been killed by the summer drought.
"Look-it's the Dumbledore girl!" One of the three Muggle boys said.
"What is that freak doing?" "She's bringing the plants back to life-but how?"
I looked up. The three boys were coming towards me. They were probably Albus's age, twelve or thirteen. Standing, I wiped the dirt from my pink tank top and blue shorts.
"Hello," I said politely.
"How did you do that plant thing?" The biggest boy said. I recognized him as the Farmer's boy. "
I dunno." I answered. "It runs in my family. My brothers can do it too."
"I knew the Dumbledores were freaks," I recognized this boy as the O'Conner's boy.
"Why don't you show us that trick girly?"
"I'll try, but I can't do it purposely." I answered.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I can't control it." That got them scared.
"Can your two brothers do it?"
"Albus is learning how, and Aberforth will learn soon."
"So, you're the only one who can't control it in your family?"
I nodded my head. "Mummy and Daddy are really good at it."
That is what scared them the most. They then had me follow them somewhere. Being young, I followed them.
"Make my mum's flowers grow." The Smith boy said, stopping in front of a house and pointing to a dead flower bed.
I waved my hand like I always do. Nothing happened. I tried again, concentrating harder than I ever did, still: nothing. Mummy and Daddy made it look easy when they used their wands. One of the boys-Farmers, maybe- was infuriated when I couldn't do the magic.
"Mummy and Daddy make it look so easy when they do it."
"I don't care about your damn parents, I wanna see you do it!" His voice growing angry.
"Daddy says that's a bad word."
"Look, I don't care what your father would say!"
"You should get a spanking. Albus used the word and Mummy washed his mouth out with soap. Maybe your mummy will do that to you!" I spat at the boy. Even more infuriated, he grabbed me by the hair. He and the other boys took me into the house and hurt me. They did things to me only a man and wife should do. I cried the whole time, but they only slapped me, and with each slap more pain and tears. One yelled 'Grow Up!' at me.
Okay, this is Chapter 1. Pretty Please review so I can update sooner and know how you like it! But it's okay if you don't… THIS IS NOT A ONE-SHOT!
