hannah potter.
daughter to james and lily potter.
sister to jack potter the boy who lived.
except she didn't feel like part of that family, not since that fateful night 7 years ago and dumbledore had proclaimed jack as the boy who lived.
now the only family hannah had was her godfather sirius black and her uncle remus; the potters wouldnt let her go though and so she was trapped in potter mansion.
which brings us to her 8th birthday watching from the stairs as the pile of her brothers presents rose with each new guest that came through the door; she didn't have any. people had forgot she exsited and most of the time that was fine with her, but sometimes like on her birthday she wished she was noticed.
however if she took attention from her brother, who in her parents opinion could do no wrong and needed the attention more than she, she would be punished and locked away.
again.
hannah was waiting for uncle siri, he was brilliant and funny. he taught her things that her parents had thought wouldn't be important like self defense, magic, english, maths to name a few.
jack had started having magic lessons when they were 5 but they didnt think she should learning magic. it didn't help that every time she did accidental magic they thought jack had done it.
sirius was the only one who brought her presents which she kept safetly hidden under the floor boards of her room in the attic. other wise they would be given to jack unless he didn't like it.
uncle remus had been banned from the house because of his furry little problem and was classed too dangerous to be around the precious boy who lived, but when no one was watching siri would take her from the house and he, her and uncle remus would go out for the day.
so here she was waiting for sirius on the stairs as her brothers ego inflated even more.
then she felt a hand on her shoulder and she jumped up whilst turning. there behind her was Nevile long-bottom, her only friend and fellow outcast.
nevile didn't like jack either, much to the horror of his parents.
he leaned forward and whispered "hey"
she nodded to him and they went up to her attic. they sat down on the rickety bed and both sighed in relief.
"i see things havent changed then" he stated.
hannah shook her head "it will never change, but at least i have sirius and remus"
"still i wish things were different"
"not really, if dumbledoreknew what we could do..."
they sighed in unison again.
then hannah got up and dove under bed and pried open the floor boards and pulled out a scrap book.
"whats that?"
"my book of ideas"
nevile got closer and peered over her shoulder at the beautiful drawing it was a village and everyone was smilling, they all looked healthy. on the other page next to it were full of scribbles. everyone equal...no blood purity... rated by deeds not family...democracy.
"wow" he breathed "it looks beautiful"
"its how i see a perfect world, no one would be homeless, no one would suffer, everyone equal"
"and no blood purity extremist" nevile mumbled "its a shame this would never be possible"
"why not?, we have magic and we know what causes problems in our world; why not make our own"
"go on then, sell this new world to me"
the two had a laugh discussing their world and making plans untill there was a knock on the door and sirius walked in.
"siri" hannah smiled and went for a hug.
when they pulled apart he pulled out a parcle from his pocket and waved his wand over it.
the package grew into a broom and hannah ripped in to it. it turned out to be the hawk3000 the newest broom from America where the brooms are better made.
sirius smiled and then put a finger to his lips. "shhh dont let jack or your dad see that; happy birthday my cub"
then he left and went back down to the party to appease the other potters.
nevile followed saying he had only been allowed to come if he spent so time wih jack. it was sad what people had do to stay in contact with their friends.
so hannah stayed in her room and waited everything out and crepted down stairs when she heard the potters leave for their weekly meeting with the press.
once out in the garden she took to the sky on her new broom.
she was an excellentflyer when given the chance which was why she wasnt allowed to fly unless the potters were out. she always out shined jack and that upset him.
she enjoyed flying which was probably why she hadnt noticed when the potters had got back.
"hannah potter, just what do you think you are doing" james was stood with his arms crossed and a glare on his face. she flew down.
"where did you get that!" he snatched the broom out of her hands "you stole it didn't you!"
hannah shook her head, her hands clenched and shaking "sirius gave it to me"
this made james angrier he raised his hand and brought it down on her face, making her fall and land funny on her wrist. it cracked and hannah flinched from the pain.
james eyes softened but he was still angry "you stole it from jack"
hannah glared at potter. "how dare you. HOW DARE YOU" she screamed. she got to her feet grabbed the broom and dashed inside and all the way to her room.
she looked down at her left wrist, the bone looked funny and it really hurt. she felt tears come down her face.
she grabbed a quill and paper and wrote slowly and messily because of her hand
CODE RED then called an elf named bless and told her to deliver it to nevile long-bottom.
then she called racket, another house elf that absolutely loved her. she had him bandage her wrist and get everything from under the floor boards.
when that was done she heard yelling down stairs. "racket go see whats going on but dont get caught"
the elf nodded and went out the door. he came back and said that her brother was throwing a fit about her having a hawk3000 and james and jack were coming up.
"get me out of here" she grabbed her stuff and the elf hugged he middle and with a snap of his fingers they were gone.
just as the door burst open.
