Chapter 1
Davina Potter was being trained by her father's best friend and also her Godfather; Harry Potter's Godfather was Sirius Black who was raising his two children alone- of course he had the help of James and Lily. Remus Lupin was a werewolf and as a boy- the same wolf, whom had bit Davina several years ago, had bitten him. Together they practiced to control themselves and also to learn each other's secrets. Fenir Grayback was the Death Eater who had turned Remus because he felt like it; he bit Davina because she was the first born of James and Lily Potter. Natural born enemies of the Dark Lord Voldemort; her parents don't know, because Davina begged Remus not to tell them. He's kept his word for now. It was James's idea that they hung out this night, practicing was what they did whenever they were alone.
He groaned, "Come on Dee; you can do it." She growled at him and he stepped back; she couldn't learn with him breathing down her furry back all the damn time. He should know that by now.
Davina as a wolf was all white with a gray stripe in the form of a rose stem- with thorns. Davina has thick fur and yellow eyes as a real wolf and her talons were sharp enough to peel the upper layer of bone from a finger or toenail. Her jaws were small, but her teeth were as sharp as her claws. Her tail looked like a real wolf's because that's what she actually did look like; just a grey wolf. She growled once more, this time as a sigh and turned back to human.
As a human she was stunningly pretty, her shoulder length hair would resemble her mother's a lot more if she let it grow out. Davina has bright violet eyes and small lips, her fingers were long and pretty too, she was five-three and done growing. Dee had the face of a child and an angel and she knew that. She rebelled against her parents most of her young life; she rarely did homework, threatened to drop out of school and runaway to a muggle village in Russia or just head to Scotland. Then, she rebelled against her parents in the biggest way possible: she hates being the sister of the famous Harry Potter. At first it was pretty nice people would go up to her and tell her how proud they were of her little brother- how lucky he was to have her as a sister…
…Until they asked what House she was in, for Hogwarts. When she told them she was in Salazar Slytherin's House they stepped back slightly and made some excuse. She hated it when they did that; she would never forget the small gasp sound that came from people's mouths when the Sorting Hat placed her with Slytherin. She'd never forget the day she realized she loved Slytherin and took pride in it by painting her room green and refusing to accept any scarlet or gold. She'd wear blood red for a colour, however she refused to wear yellow, so anyway- that never changed. That happened last year; now Harry was starting his second year and she was in her fifth. Three years apart and everyone assumed she was in Gryffindor; however when she said 'I'm in Slytherin' the same reaction came to people and the same expression was on their faces.
Fear.
Davina was born right when her parents had finished school on 11 August 1987 and little brother Harry Potter was on 31 July 1990. It's no secret that Harry is the favourite although they deny when it comes to their mind throughout the weeks; Harry's only amazing great scar was the real scar on his forehead that he got when Voldemort couldn't kill him. Their father's sister, Jackie died saving his life. During the months prior to her death a year after he was born- they were treated equally and after that happened it downgraded her and upgraded him. When she was sorted into Slytherin… it just got terribly bad for her and her self-esteem. She hated her parents so much she honestly considered joining the Dark Lord when he returned from his slumber... Davina Potter was just so miserable. Her parents didn't know it, but she often spent her past few summers at Narcissa Malfoy's with her husband and son, Lucius and Draco Malfoy. Narcissa is her second cousin once removed or something similar and she spent most of her summer after her first school year there at Malfoy Manor. She told Draco, her first cousin twice removed stories about Slytherin House and about the teachers and which ones to look out for and which ones he could be befriended and be spoiled like the child he was. He liked the sound of that. She was three years older than him and their parents were mortal enemies but they got along just fine.
"Remus," she muttered, so far this summer she hasn't been near her cousin Narcissa or her family and it's August. "I can't do this again, I'm getting tired. Mum and dad are waiting for me."
Remus called her back and she came because he was her Godfather and for some reason she respected him more then her own father and mother. "Your brother starts his second year this year and after what happened this year, I want you to be ready to help him if he needs it-."
"If he needs help," Davina snapped, crossing her arms. "Then he can ask grandpa Albus- I'm not his babysitter and I never will be. I'm going home, mum promised we'd make fun of the teachers I had." He smirked but frowned. "What?"
He sighed, "Davina, they aren't at home."
She laughed narrowly, "Okay… where, are they? At the Malfoy's? Seeing Sirius? I'm afraid of that house-elf." She explained, so it made sense why they didn't invite her to go with them. "C'mon Remus, where are they?" she asked frowning now.
He sighed, "They went to see Charlus- do not tell them I told you-."
"Charlus, my grandfather- that Charlus Potter?" she and her grandfather got along better then her and Narcissa, a few times she's ran away to see him even. She fell into the grass, it was full of dew already, and it wasn't that late- not even ten yet. "But I- I want to go see Charlus, Remus," he shook his head. She knew why and she got up and turned away from him. Davina Jaclyn-Lilith Potter knew why she wasn't invited to see her own grandfather: he knew that she was in Slytherin House. She hid her pain well from her Godfather; Sirius who was at Mungo's because he was attacked by a werewolf- is Harry's Godfather. Davina, had lost control and attacked her father's best friend; another reason why she couldn't face him right now. Remus didn't know Davina was capable of crying, so he assumed she wasn't. "I'm going home," she muttered and walked from the cemetery. He didn't stop her this time, she yawned as she left the cemetery; as she did- a car had drove by. She pulled the gate shut and turned the knob so it clicked and locked. Remus trusted that her Godchild would get home safe and sound and pray she not do anything stupid. He let her go and didn't go after her- although some voice in his head was telling Remus to get his ass after her and take her home himself. He'd regret it later.
Davina's face was a little warm and she felt cold; she pulled the right shoulder of her cloak back onto her shoulder and walked down the street. She felt the warm headlights of a car again; she ignored it, if it was muggle police- she'd lie and say she was a runaway. Then she could probably go and live somewhere else with parents who could understand how hard being in wizard family was like… of course being a monster was something no parent could understand….
Until the driver of the car got out, "Excuse me, young lady." She stopped and turned. The man was handsome, tall, and blond and blue eyed. "Do you need a ride home?" Davina saw the woman in the car, she smiled. She was beautiful too; her own auburn hair went down a little further then Davina's.
"I'm fine, but thank you." She said and started to turn again.
He stepped forward, "My name is Carlisle Cullen, I'm a vampire." She stopped and turned, "My wife and I noticed that you're out here alone and at this hour." She glanced up at the sky.
She looked back at him and muttered, she made eye contact. "It's nearly ten."
He smiled, impressed, "you can read the moon?"
"And the sun position to tell time…." She hesitated, "Since you're a vampire I guess it doesn't matter- I'm a werewolf. We need to know the shape and time of the moon." He smiled again.
"Where are your parents dear?" he asked and went over to her, he put his hand on her shoulder.
She bit her lip and thought for a moment. Then she said, "Dead. My mum and dad passed away a few days ago- my- my brother did as well." he frowned and said he was sorry, Davina shrugged, "It's alright."
His wife came from the car and came over to them; she bent down and hugged the human, "I'm so sorry they died sweetie. Carlisle?" She whispered turning around to him. She kept her arms on one shoulder and he sighed, finally nodded. Davina wondered what they were thinking.
Carlisle looked down at Davina. "You should have a proper home then the English Foster system. Would you like to come back with us? We have five children, they are vampires but very kind and would never give you trouble. I admit," he told her as she started to smile a little. "It'd be hard but it can be done," she down a little and hugged him. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her and gently hugged her back. "Esme and I would love to have you in our family- um?"
"Davina, Davina Evans." She whispered with her eyes closed and tears strolling down her cheeks slowly. Esme came over and pressed herself against them both and Davina experienced her first family embrace for the first time since her brother was born.
Carlisle and Esme's adopted kids had been gone for the summer and the couple was in London for their own getaway for a few weeks. They went to London completely bored and came back with a werewolf-daughter; they moved her into one of the original guest rooms and Esme and Davina spent a mother-daughter day and went shopping. Esme was a little worried when Davina admitted she rarely went shopping except for school supplies. Carlisle laughed and said that Davina was a different kind of human, but at least someone in the family was different; that made Davina feel a lot better. They bought most of Old Navy and American Eagle; Carlisle liked that Davina wasn't like his other daughter Rosalie Hale who lived for the sport. Alice didn't mind it and preferred to not shop. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward acted like real teenage vampire boys and spat at the suggestion. Of course that's just according to Esme Cullen, the mother.
Davina spent a few days getting her room the way she wanted it and spent another day resting with her new mother checking in on her every few minutes. "I'm fine Esme!" she laughed.
Esme Cullen nodded and said, "Are you sure you don't need anything Davina?"
"You can just call me 'Dee', it's alright." Esme nodded and considered this, smiled again and left.
Instead of a bed Davina also got a futon, but instead of black like Edwards or Emmett's it was a dark green; her pillows were silver. That was it for honouring Slytherin House. Her dresser was dark oak and pretty with round handles and her closet was full of clothes that Esme got for her behind her back. She had three pairs of shoes: sandals, Sketchers, and dress shoes. She hated heels so Esme got her shoes with thick heel when Dee admitted she always feared the thin-heeled shoes.
She didn't have a full-length mirror like she used to have; it was small and silver as well with a snake for the handle- okay so Slytherin isn't done being in her life. Her curtains were long and touched the floor- they were a deep blue because Esme liked that colour best. Her walls were painted dark green, a little darker then the futon- the floor was a beautiful shiny wood. She sighed happily as she looked around her room as she went to look at it by the doorway.
"I love this room," she told herself. She smiled again and went over and grabbed her book as she passed the shelf where she had set it on and flopped down and began reading it. She got to chapter ten of thirty-four when she fell asleep at one in the morning. Esme had to go in and turn off the light for her.
Her first full week there and her room was done, completely, "Esme," she said going into the kitchen on the eighth day. She turned around and asked what was wrong, "Nothing's wrong Esme, it's just I like this place a lot better then London. Thanks for taking me in," she said. Esme smiled and said she always wanted to know what it would be like to have a human daughter instead of vampire ones.
Carlisle laughed and handed her the comics, she laughed at the Baby Blues. "Did you read London comics?" he asked her. She shook her head and admitted she never read the paper unless if she needed to learn something worth learning. "Were you good in school?"
She shrugged, "I guess. My grades slipped slightly at the end of the year- this past year, er- that's normal." She told him, but Esme nodded. "School was my home during the school year, I never went home for the holiday break and summer was just twelve weeks of boredom for me. My brother- liked school too, but would rather spend his time trying to get hurt. He liked to show off and it showed." She muttered bitterly, Carlisle glanced at Esme. She said nothing.
"I'm sure your brother was a good kid Dee, just like you." He said, Davina hugged him and he laughed and hugged back.
Ten minutes later, Carlisle was leaving for work, at the hospital; Esme went to the garden and Davina went back upstairs to finish her book. She planned to read their library before she started in a muggle school for the first time in four years. The Cullen/Hale library was about a quarter of the size of the Hogwarts library, but more civil in the sense that books didn't fly around on their own, or didn't scream at you if you were opening it without permission from a teacher.
They lived in a small neighborhood in country of New York; the house was big enough for the vampire family and seemed a little smaller now that a werewolf was living there. It was painted white as all were on the street. The backyard was huge and pretty with flowers of many kinds and on the warm days, the scent given off by them was amazingly strong.
Well the day that the vampric kids came back, Davina was out in the garden. Davina was lying in a tall grass; the clouds had covered the sun, her lay on her back with the cover of the novel blocking the sun's rays from her eyes. She didn't notice that Esme has gone inside. Butterflies and bugs crawled or flied nearby, but Davina wasn't bother by the centipede. She's cut open so many, they didn't bother her anymore. For Potions, she's needed the heart and brain; then fifty of the legs.
Esme was in the kitchen when they snuck up on her; she yelled out and screamed when she saw Alice and her kids. "Alice, dear; Rose. Emmett- Edward and Jasper! I'm so glad your back," she cried as she hugged them each, "Carlisle was going to try to finish early today." She told them, they laughed and said they figured that. She giggled as the boys kissed her cheek and they disappeared upstairs to unpack and clean up after their ten-week vacation.
Alice was the first one to see the open door to the guest room, she called Edward and he hurried down to her; she pointed into the room and they looked at each other. "Whose is it? New vampire?" Edward shrugged. The others came to the first two quickly. The door opened and Carlisle called to them, they walked out of the room and went to the top of the stairs to see the new person getting there first.
"Did you get the thing off the guys-?" she didn't know how to finish.
He chuckled and nodded, "It was odd, but we got it." She laughed and he hugged her. He looked up at the five at the top of the steps, "Well look, who's here!" he boomed at them. They smiled and waved, Edward and Alice watched Davina for a moment. She stepped back as Esme and the five vampires crowded around Carlisle as they greeted him, hugged and kissed him. Alice and Rose kissed his cheek and Esme kissed his lips. Davina rolled her eyes, whenever James and Lily had done that she yelled at them to get a room. They usually disappeared for several hours.
But with Carlisle and Esme, it was adorable and something that Davina didn't mind anymore. "You're a werewolf?" Jasper asked, she nodded. "I could sense it," he said when she asked him how he knew. She shrugged. "How long have you been one?"
"I was bitten when I was five." She said, Esme and Carlisle took hands and introduced the newest member of the family.
"Kids, this is Davina Evans. If anyone asks we adopted her and decided to keep her name, which is what she did." Carlisle nodded with Esme as she spoke. "Davina this is, Edward, Alice, and Emmett Cullen. Jasper and Rosalie Hale," Davina smiled because Esme has called a group of nearly adult vampires 'kids'.
"When did we adopt her Esme?" Jasper asked.
"This summer on August 12th 2002." She said, Davina nodded and realized that they took her as theirs the day after she turned fifteen years old. "She's fifteen and she is a werewolf."
"Dee can control it very well from what we've seen already," Davina shrugged when Rose looked at her. "Did you see her room?" they nodded.
"Completely werewolf style." Davina beamed at her older brother, Emmett. Davina's eyes followed Carlisle as he walked around her and disappeared into the kitchen. He came back with small boxes and Davina was utterly surprised when he handed one to her too. "What's this Carlisle?"
"Well open it, or ask Alice. She knows," he muttered.
Alice giggled and opened her box; they all got something of course; Davina got a necklace with a small cross; she wasn't used to getting gifts anymore. Christmas and birthdays were of one gift from her parents and maybe one from Remus if he felt like it. "Thank you Carlisle," she whispered he grinned and put it on for her. It was fake silver, he told her. It had a gold band that wound around the two vertical and horizontal bars that formed the cross.
Esme also added, "And don't worry, it won't hurt us. See," she took it and let it lay on her fingers for a moment. Nothing happened. Davina hugged her and Esme grinned and kept her arm around her shoulders. Carlisle smiled, the vampire kids got car keys and Davina got the necklace. She preferred the cross to the key anyway. "We figured you couldn't drive anyway," Esme teased. Davina laughed and nodded. Esme giggled something sweet and they dispersed as they went their own way again. Davina went back outside, the clouds made it overcast for now. A garden snake came out of nowhere and Dee tried to speak the language but couldn't. Harry could, she heard him one day at school; she told their parents and they sent letters everyday for nearly a month.
She took it carefully and whispered, "I won't hurt you. You represent my cousins and great aunts, my parents would disapprove." She whispered, the snake wound around her fingers, it was newly hatched, just a few weeks old. Maybe a foot long or so.
Edward and Emmett watched from an upstairs window in Alice's room. "Odd?" Edward agreed. They couldn't hear but they knew she was talking to it. "Most girls would be afraid, Edward."
"Yeah," he agreed, but added. "But she's a werewolf," he reminded his brother. They watched as Dee got up with the snake around her wrist. She spoke to it still and they could barely hear her now. Emmett 'accidentally' pushed open the window. Alice rolled her eyes.
"Salazar and the other founders would be upset if they knew how his descendant was treating the others; Tom… you can't describe him in just one word." Emmett groaned she was speaking a language he didn't understand and Edward couldn't read her head, she was blocking it. Edward turned but Emmett grabbed him when he saw a larger snake near her from behind.
Alice suddenly gasped; they turned to her as she yelled "Hurry Edward! Emmett!" Alice cried and followed them.
Emmett jumped over the railing of the stairs and so did Edward and they pause when they got outside- Davina was gone and instead her wolf was there. Edward held Emmett back and Alice gasped. The snake started to turn toward them, but Davina attacked it before they could meet its eyes. The snake was scarlet red and glazed a green when the sun hit it just right. The tail was thin and it was at least twenty feet long, maybe even thirty.
"What is that? DEE!" Edward yelled when she was thrown to the side. She had bit into its upper back but couldn't find the throat so it lived. Carlisle and Esme came running out; they yelled Davina's name. She growled at it, the wolf had taken over for now, the sun was gone in the sky and it was replaced by dark clouds. Esme noticed first the length of the claws and how sharp they were; she kept silent about it. They gasped when Davina Evans leapt and her jaws wrapped around his neck right behind the head. The snake struggled and got its tail around her waist, but she still didn't let go.
"It's wrapping its tail around you!" Rose cried out and covered her eyes when it began to constrict. She didn't even make the motion that it hurt her, she acted like a real wolf with prey in it's mouth, she growled and thrashed slightly, but Davina finally bit down hard into the neck of the gigantic snake. Scarlet coloured blood spilled out of the scales and Emmett stepped back.
"I'm not drinking that," Alice joked, Edward smirked down at her and she took his hand and took Jasper's hand in her other hand. Emmett took Rosalie and hid her face in his chest. Davina jumped back when she was convinced it was dead and fell back just as she turned back into herself. Esme ran over to her and fell to her knees beside her. The sun came back out from behind the clouds.
"Don't do that again; wait for one of us next time." Esme cried, Davina wrapped her arms around Esme and they held each other for a moment, then Carlisle told Esme that Dee had to breathe.
The garden snake came over and Davina set her hand down and it slithered up to her shoulder and let its body fall around her shoulders. "What happened, where did it come from? Are there more Alice?" Esme asked her daughter. Alice's eyes went milky white and they all waited for several minutes. She finally came back to them and shook her head, there's one but in… England. In this cave or something, there's a carving of a man on the wall and a boy with glasses and a girl with red hair-."
She paused when Davina gasped; she asked quickly, "Are they alright?" Alice nodded. She explained quickly for Davina, that the boy lives, kills the snake, saves the girl and they get out alive. A man with blond hair lost his mind; it was erased or something. Dee smirked inside but outside where people could see it, she was frowning and she nodded with a small grin.
Alice continued, "The boy, though, was young maybe twelve or thirteen; he had a scar on his forehead," she ran her finger across her forehead in the exact shape of Harry's lightning scar. The garden snake on Dee's shoulder glanced at her; she frowned at it and turned back to Alice.
Carlisle took Dee's hand and held it tightly, "Come on. Let's get inside-."
"I agree, I don't feel like getting wet right now." Alice laughed and raced Edward inside- just as Dee closed the door, thunder sounded and it began to rain.
