AN: Hello! Okay I was rereading Harry Potter for the millionth time and I had this idea. I don't own Harry Potter!
Chapter One
I never knew how my life came to this, be hidden away. I was always an ordinary girl. That is until those boys attacked me and took my innocence. But then all of a sudden people started leaving me: Father had to go to Askaban, Albus and Aberforth went to Hogwarts, and finally, mother died.
"It's just you and me now kid," Aberforth said leading me back into the house. I glanced over my shoulder one last time, saying my last goodbye to Mother.
Abe went into the kitchen and started making some lunch. I poured some tea and set the three glasses down on the table. I sat down and picked up my sketch and went back to drawing.
Albus slumped into the kitchen and sat across from me. He pushed back his honey gold blonde hair and buried his face into his hands. "You know what this means don't you?" he said.
I nodded. I looked in to my brother's piercing blue eyes. Some say that we look exactly alike, besides that he's a boy. "It means that Abe and I will be able to stay home while you go on your trip with Doge."
Albus shook his head. "No Ariana, it means that I'm going to give up my journey so that I can look after the two of you."
"No it doesn't," Abe said standing protectively over me. His dark brown hair fell into his eyes, but they still managed to pierce Albus. He shoved a sandwich into my hand. "Ariana, why don't you have lunch outside on the patio?"
I took it silently and left the room. I put my sandwich on the table and pressed me ear against the door.
"Albus, why don't you just go on your little excursion? You don't give a damn about Ariana or I," Abe argued.
"I have to stay because it's my duty as eldest son," Albus started. The pride reamed from his voice.
"No, don't stay," I silently begged. Please. Albus always treats me like I'm a basket case waiting to explode.
"You don't give a damn about her! When you're home you just sit in your room and talk to your friends and write your damn articles!" Abe yelled.
"You have to go back to school," Albus stated.
"No I don't," Abe said shortly. "I'll be turning 17 soon enough and then I'll take Ariana away."
"We are a family."
"We'll just be in your way for you bloody quest for those Hallows."
"Abe you need looking after too," Albus stated.
"Locomotor Mortis!" Abe roared.
Albus was quicker though and yelled, "Protego!" He sighed as Abe's hex bounced off of his shield charm. "Abe, by now you should know not to try to duel the best dueler in the school. And this is a perfect example of why I'm staying."
I opened the door. Abe had his wand at Albus' throat. "Screw you Albus," Abe said seizing me and dragging me up to my bedroom.
I lied down on my bed. Abe sat at the foot of it and covered me with my pink throw-over. "So you heard all of that huh?"
I nodded. "Why does he have to stay?"
"Because he's a pompous ass," Abe muttered under his breath. I smiled. "Don't worry Ana. I bet he'll get sick of caring for us and leave."
I wish he was right
