AN: My first story. This is going to be the first of a series. This chapter tells how Rosalie felt upon meeting Lexi and seeing Dante again. And about getting their Hogwarts letters.
Thanks to my two beta readers, The Light of the Shadows and live2write. Without them this story would probably be crap and not worth any of your time. Please review. It would make my day. Literally. How pathetic is that? Anyways, yeah.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything harry potter related. I do however own Rosalie, Lexi, Dante, and some other people that you will meet later on.

Always Together Yet Forever Alone
My name is Rosalie, this is my life story.
It was always the three of us. Never just one. Always us three. That is until we went to Hogwarts. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born June 4th 1978. My name ( Rosalie) is Latin for white rose. I am a metamorphmagus. That means that I can change my physical appearance. My parents weren't very shocked as my half cousin Nymphadora Tonks was also a metamorphmagus. Apparently it runs through the bloodlines. When I was born I had long (for a baby) purple hair with natural black highlights throughout my hair. And I had the most vivid orange eyes with flecks of grey in them. My mother thought I was beautiful. My dad thought I looked like a freak. He never wavered in this decision. From birth I had hated him. And I would come to hate my mother too. But once again I'm getting ahead of myself. I tend to do that a lot don't I? Let me describe myself as I am now, I have the same long (It was down past my butt now) purple hair with natural black highlights. Of course right now, as I was extremely pissed, it was a fiery red. My eyes which were usually a very bright orange were now black. When you looked into them it seemed as if you were looking into endless pools of tar. I was wearing a black corset and ripped blue jeans. My mother kept telling me that in order to be a proper lady I needed to wear skirts. But of course I refused saying that she knew I was anything but proper. We have had this argument many times before. But I always seemed to win, of course. Although my looks suggest otherwise, I am a very bright young girl. I was already able to do magic (with my mum's wand of course). Usually I could be found in my own personal library, though few dare to go in there. Usually there were books flying everywhere. A little spell I had used to get any book I needed to come directly to me with a snap of my fingers and a whisper of a name. If I wasn't in there, I would almost definitely be found in my study. And no-one, and I do mean no-one would go in there without my permission. How exactly could my family afford to give me a privet library and a privet study? Well, I come from a pureblood family. So I have a lot of money. As does the rest of my family. I absolutely despise this little fact about me. I don'y necessarily disagree with their beliefs. I knew that I was better than muggleborns and half bloods. But that didn't mean that they shouldn't go to Hogwarts. Or that they should be treated like house elves. It just meant that they should know – and except - that we were better than them. They should treat us with the respect we deserve. But they don't. And so I hate them. Little did I know that would soon change. I also didn't support Voldemort. In my parents eyes it was bad enough that I didn't agree that mud bloods should be demolished, but now I didn't support the Dark Lord – as they so love to call him -. My parents began to hate me. Well my mum began to hate me. My father already hated me. They began to think that I was against them. So they started hitting me. They would hit, kick, hex, and curse me on a regular basis. I had to heal myself. And then cover up the bruises so that my brother Zenobia –whose name meant Power of Zeus - and my sister Laci - whose name meant cheerful one – wouldn't see all of them and get scared. It was a tiring business. But I did it. I didn't want them to be afraid of me. Or their parents, who they still thought could do no wrong. I wanted them to keep that innocent for as long as they possibly could. They were the only reason I stayed at our house. Without them I would have left years ago. That's about it.
We met one fateful night in a muggle park. It was dark and I was alone. My parents had been hitting me again. I had been talking about how extremely useless the 'Dark Lord' was. They hated it. So they cursed me. It was painful to endear, but I had to do it and keep quiet about it. I couldn't risk waking up either of the kids. But I couldn't take it. I had finally had enough. I was leaving, and I was never to go back. I didn't care if they disowned me. I didn't care what they did. But I was never going to go back to that wretched place. Even my darling little siblings weren't enough to keep me from leaving any longer. I was too lost in my thoughts to notice that someone was walking straight at me. We bumped into each other and we both fell down.
"I- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to knock you down." The girl apologized. Her face was rather red, and she was looking down embarrassed. "No, no it was my fault. I was thinking and not looking where I was going." I replied. I got up and brushed the dirt off of my pants. I looked up at the girl and noticed that she had short light brown hair that was pointed in all different directions, with bangs that fell over her eyes. And ice blue eyes. She was wearing a blue tank top and a long blue skirt. With black boots.
The girl held out her hand. "Hi my name is Alexianna Roth. What's your name?" She asked innocently. "Rosalie, my name is Rosalie Black. It's nice to meet you Alexianna." I said dumbly. "Please, call me Lexi. I hate that wretched name. But mum always says to introduce yourself properly. Hey do you want to be friends?" She asked managing to get that 'Oh so innocent little girl' sound that only a girl between the ages of six and eleven would get.
"You're very trusting. I mean you just met me. And now you a want me to be your friend. For all you know I could be some child molester in disguise." She now looked kind of scared. "Which I'm not by the way." I said after seeing her look. "It's just not very wise to be so trusting. That's all" I concluded. "Oh well seeing as you're not a child molester in disguise, would you like to be friends?" She asked again. "Sure I guess." I said.
And that is how I met one of my best - and only - friends in the world. After Lexi found out that I had nowhere to go she told me that I was going to stay at her house whether I liked it or not. Of course I protested saying that I didn't want to intrude. But she would have none of it.
Almost a month went by without incident. But on May 17th an owl started tapping on her window. I automatically went to let it in. Having forgotten that she was a muggle. When I let it in it handed me a letter and flew off. Lexi and her family sat there mouths agape. I looked at the letter and it said Lexi's name so I handed it to Lexi. She opened it silently. I read over her shoulder. In that familiar green scrawl it said exactly what mine had.

Five days after that, we were out in the same park that me and Lexi met in. I saw a guy. He was really cute. He had unruly dark brown hair, and beautiful chocolate colored eyes. He was rather tall and looked very muscular. I looked over at Lexi and she too was checking the mystery guy out.
"We should go talk to that guy. He's rather good looking." Lexi said while her eyes were still roaming over his body. "Fine, let's go." I only agreed because she would keep asking until I said yes. So we walked over to him.
Once we were closer, I could get a better look at him. I saw that his hair was not only dark brown but that it had blonde streaks in it. And his chocolate eyes had gold flecks in them. All in all he looked very familiar. Then I figured out who he was.
"Dante! Is that you?" I asked really hoping that it was. "Rosie? Is that you, Rosalie Black? You're a lot taller than I remember you being." He teased. "You know him? Why didn't you tell me?" Lexi hissed at me. I just laughed. "So who is your pretty little friend here?" He asked nodding to Lexi. She reached her hand out for him to shake. "Lexi, Lexi Johnson. Pleased to meet you." She said enthusiastically.
He kissed the back of her hand. "The feeling is mutual." He said in that special way of his. Being the girl she is, Lexi giggled. "So Rosalie said that your name is Dante. Do you have a last name?" She asked in that shy little voice of hers. "Yes, it's Jones. My name is Dante Jones." He explained.
We talked for a bit. "So Dante did you get your Hogwarts letter yet?" Lexi asked him. "Yeah you both did too, right?" He asked slightly nervous that we hadn't. "Well of course. We only settle for the best!" I said as if it was obvious. Which it kind of was. Being raised as I was I did only settle for the best. He laughed.
"So, you're kind of cute." Lexi said trying - and failing miserably - to flirt. I laughed out loud. "Erm, well actually, I'm, well I'm not really your type." Dante stuttered. "What do you mean?" Lexi asked completely confused. "He means that he's gay." I said bluntly. Her eyes got rather wide then she looked down blushing, obviously embarrassed.
"Sorry, I thought that Rosalie told you." He said really looking embarrassed. "Oh thanks just blame it all on me why don't you." I said laughing. And so we three became inseparable. We would go to Hogwarts together, and become closer than ever. At least we thought we would.
I really hope that you enjoyed this chapter. It is one of many to come.
Coming Soon: Lexi meets Rosalie and Dante and get's rather embarrassed.
