Chapter One: We All Start Somewhere
We all start somewhere, our stories all have a page one. Sometimes our starts are less desirable then others. Cases like mine, page one begins in a dark time, a time of running, and fighting. My name is Aiden Jackson, I was born a year after the war between the Order, and the Death Eaters. I have dark blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and a scar under my right eye. I spent most of my childhood running from my parent's past, and one day, it finally caught up with them, leaving me in the care of my godparents Alice and William Edwards. Alice was beautiful her hair dark black, and her eyes glowing green, and William had a stern look to him, he had brown hair and bright blue eyes.
I grew up under their roof, and they soon became the people I considered my mother and father. They were secretive individuals, but kind and loving. I spent six years with these people, only being told slight information about my blood parents. When 2010 rolled around Alice and William would be getting me excited for Hogwarts. In the same year, the same day I was to board the Hogwarts Express, Alice and William took me to Diagon Alley.
Once we arrived in the booming shopping district, our first stop was Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, where I would get my required clothing. Which consisted of three sets of plain work robes, one plain pointed hat, one pair of protective gloves, and one winter cloak. Next was Flourish and Blotts for my books, eight in all, they consisted of: The Standard Book of Spells (Grade one), A History of Magic, Magical Theory, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, Magical Drafts and Potions, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection. This is where Alice and William stopped me; this is where they began to tell me where my parents were sorted when they attended Hogwarts.
"Slytherin," William spoke in his dark groggy voice.
"Slytherin?" I asked grabbing my final book.
"Yes darling," Alice began in her sweet loving tone. "William, myself, and your parents, all Slytherin house members. We wouldn't be surprised if you also were accepted as a Slytherin house member. But do know, house does not matter son." She smiled, a great loving smile, and headed out of the store. William walks up behind me and pats my right shoulder.
"Come along boy, next is the exciting part!" He said with a comforting grin. I followed them vigorously, and once we arrived at Ollivander's Wand Shop, William smiled. He grabbed the doorknob before me, "When I was your age, this was the best part about shopping!" he exclaimed with joy. "Are you excited?" he questioned me gladly.
"Yes sir!" I exclaimed with much joy. William then opened the door and ushured me in.
"Hello?" Asked William with much haste. I believe he was more excited about my wand then I. "Mr. Ollivander?" He questioned again. This time he was answered, by a loud crash in the back of the store.
Answering his call, a man slid out "Hello! And welcome, to Ollivander's Wand Shop!" an older man exclaimed with grin.
"Hello! My name is William, and this is Aiden!" William introduced us leaving Alice out.
"I am going to go collect a few items that are left. You boys have fun now!" Alice informed us as she left the wand filled building.
"I take it; the boy here is first year?" The older gentleman questioned still grinning. He then turns and heads to the back of his shop. "No, nope, hm, ah!" We hear the man mutter. He returns to William and I and sets a box on the counter that separated us. "Here we are!" He exclaims handing me a black wand to me. It was designed with a slight ridge separating the handle from the shaft, and on the handle another ridge that separated the handle from a point. I took the wand and instantly felt a connection. The man smiled and clapped "Perfect!" He exclaimed with mass joy.
"Okay boy!" William exclaimed with joy "Wait outside as Mr. Ollivander and I discuss price." He said turning back to Ollivander.
As I walk out of the wand shop, I spot Alice talking to a shady looking man in the alley across the way. They seemed to be arguing until Alice spotted me. She seemed to dismiss him as William exited behind me. His hands held my shoulder, as Alice returned. She gave William a look I have never seen before.
Alice looks back at me, "Let us see it then." Her voice was sweet, but her eyes dark. I pulled my wand from my pocket and presented it to her. "Ah, so, beautiful!" She announced, "You have such a pleasant wand Aiden, you know what they say about those with outstanding wands?" She asked sweetly.
"No, what do they say?" I asked curiously.
"They become great wizards, and find great love." She answered with her dark eyes filling with passion. She always has a motherly way of settling me, even when I knew there was something wrong. "Now," She began, "Off we go, to the station with you! It's almost time!" She exclaimed taking my hand and looking at William.
We all went through the wall to Platform 9 ¾, and met a massive crowd of students and parents saying their goodbyes, some sobbing others smiling. Alice turned and knelt to meet my eyes.
"Okay Aiden, sweetie, remember, no matter what William and I love you! House does not matter!" She grabs me and pulls me in close to hug me.
"You will do great boy!" William said with a fatherly smile…
