Chapter 1:New Comer
Simple questions, but yet, there are no answers to these questions are their?
How can one love if all is taken?
How can one be protected if no ones there?
How can one laugh if all is gone but pain?
The answer to this is simple you can't, It's impossible.
All this went through her head, while she was running, she was running from what scared her most. The Dark Lord. Why you make ask is he after her? The answer is simple Angel holds onto something, a secret, and a secret that leads to ultimate power and world conquer. She didn't ask for it, she didn't want it. But she got it with know returns. Angel ran from her house as far and fast as she could, with her black cloak following her, her black and white dress remaining unharmed and her black as midnight hair flowing in the wind. Her hair went to mid back and was in a braid tied up with a white satin ribbon. Running through the forest seeing creatures of the night with her eyes. None touched her. The forest was getting thinner and she reached a castel. It was still night. Angel was tired and sore. She sat for a moment curled up in a ball and cried, knowing for the first time in years that she was weak and vulnerable. "No one here to protect me anymore." She cried she tried to calm down, it didn't work, and it made her cry harder. Angel heard a twig snap in the distance. She was scared, thinking it might be a Death Eater; she got up and ran to the doors of the castel. Bad move she was weak, sore and most of all tired. As she got up half the steps her body collapsed. Her knees landed first and most painfully then the rest of her body came crashing down hitting the stairs hard, feeling the pain erupts through her knees. She couldn't cry out in pain, for she was unconscious.
It was morning and classes were over until lunch was over. 4 boys walked out to outside for some fresh air "First day of classes and-." The boy stopped in mid sentence seeing a girl lying on the steps, clearly unconscious. "Moony go get a teacher." Said a boy. He knelt down next to her. Two boys next to him also knelt down. "How'd you think she got here?"
"I don't know... she looks like she was running though." Another boy said looking at how her hair was messed up and how her skin had cuts and bruises. "You have to wonder how her clothes stayed perfect though."
"Hmm." was all he got in reply.
"She is gorgeous though."
"Sure is wormtail."
"Professor we found her here." The boy who ran off to find a teacher came back with a stern looking professor. "Potter, Black, Pettigrew and Lupin please go inside.
"But Professor can I please stay with her?" It was the boy that had spotted her first.
"Fine Black, but the rest inside now." The stern professor pulled out her wand swished and flicked it and the girl rose from the ground.
"Black, go to Madam Comfrey and tell her a girl will be coming."
"Yes Professor." and with that Black had run off.
When Angel woke up, she realised that her surroundings were different from the night before. She was in a bed and it was no longer night but more like Afternoon. The room she was in was white, as if she was in a hospital. "Where am I?"
"Your awake!" Angel looked where the voice came from; it was from a woman, who looked like a nurse.
"Ms where would I happen to be?"
"Hogwarts my dear, my name is Madam Pomfrey I'm the nurse of Hogwarts so would you now take this potion and you should feel better, then take the chocolate." Angel did as she was told, the potion tasted horrible, but it did make her feel better. The chocolate also helped. "Now that you've drank your potion, I must get Professor Dumbledore." With that Madam Pomfrey was gone. Angel lay there in thought, wondering if she would stay here or be sent away, yet again on the run, from Voldemort, the Death Eaters and other villains. She sat in thought for a while, until the door opened this time and came in three people, Madam Pomfrey, an older man and a Stern looking woman. "Ah I see she is awake." Angel looked at them with curiosity. "Good day to you, I'm Professor Dumbledore, you've met Madam Pomfrey and this here is Professor Mcgonagall." Professor Dumbledore was the old man; Professor Mcgonagall was the stern looking woman. "Now what might be your name?" he asked with his blue eyes twinkling, Angel felt safe and protected. "Angel Night, Professor." she said with politeness. "Miss Night, would you be a witch?" He asked a bit more serious.
"No sir, I'm a Sorceress, Keeper of Secrets." She said serious trying to remain calm and not cry, it was her fault her parents where no more, if only she could of protected them instead of them protecting her.
"A Sorceress, I thought they where long gone." professor Mcgonagall said outstand.
"No there not, I'm the last of the kind." Angel said a little sad.
"Now I'm sorry to ask this Miss Night, but why are you here?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
"The Dark Lord came to my house, killed my parents, my older sister, for not joining them, I fled, even though I wanted to protect them. I ran through the forest, a great deal, I came to the steps and I collapsed then fainted."
"I see, so you have no family left?"
"No sir, no one to protect me anymore." Angel let one tear fall, but no more.
"Hogwarts is the most safest place, you can stay here. Now on the weekend I'll get someone to go with you to Diagon Ally for your schoolbooks and robes. Until then you'll have to wear what you are wearing now and you'll have to borrow the books from school. So how old are you?" Dumbledore asked
"17, January 6th, sir."
"Ah you're a 7th year, well when your ready and cleaned up, you can come to my office."
"Yes sir."
Angel closed the curtains around her bed and redid her hair with magic, put on her Black cloak/hood put her shoes on, looked in her bedside table for a hand mirror, she found a Celtic one. She looked at her reflection, her cuts had healed and bruises where nowhere to be seen. "Thank god I heal fast." She said to herself, Angel went to the bathroom to wash her face of all dirt. After she was ready she went to madam Pomfrey and asked were Professor Dumbledore's office was. "His office is down the hall, turn left, you'll come to a statue of a Griffin, the password is Cadbury chocolate."
"Thankyou Madam Pomfrey." Angel then did as she was told. When Angel got to the Headmasters door she knocked. "Come in." She heard Dumbledore's voice say, she opened the door. "Ah angel, your here to be sorted into one of the four houses, Ravenclaw, Gryffindore, Hufflepuff and Slytherin."
"Yes sir." The sorting hat was placed on Angel's head.
"Ah are Sorceress I thought I'd never see the day, now lets see, where to put you, Courage, bravery, loyalty, trustworthy and Knowledge. Interesting past, sad though, Now what's this a secret your trying to keep? Interesting, well I think the best place to put you would be Gryffindore!" Professor Dumbledore took the sorting hat of Angel's head. "Excellent, now We shall go to the Great Hall and I will introduce you the school, now Gryffindore house is to the far right. So lets go."
"Yes sir." Angel went with Professor Dumbledore to the Great hall. When she entered everyone turned to look at her. She saw how big the school was, so many students. All of them were wearing school uniform, Angel felt like she stuck out more then she would want, but she was great actress and pretended it was nothing. "Students of Hogwarts, I would like to present to you Angel Night, she has been sorted to Gryffindore." The Gryffindore house burst into a huge applause. Angel walked over to them. She sat down next to a girl with red hair and another with blonde. "Hello I'm Lily Evans." The girl with red hair said." nice to meet your acquaintance Lily, I'm Angel Night." The girl with blonde hair turned to face Angel and said
"Hello Angel, I'm Alice."
"It's also nice to meet you Alice." Angel said in return.
After dinner Angel followed Alice, and Lily to the Gryffindore common room, they chatted on the way about Hogwarts. "So Charms is my best class but I prefer potions." Lily said as they entered the common room. When they got in there they saw four boys siting on the couch, chatting away. "They're the marauders that we told you about." Alice whispered in Angel's ear.
"Really?" She whispered back. Alice nodded. Angel gave her a Watch-this-look. She walked up to the boys and said in her most innocent and sweet voice that could make anyone think she was helpless, "I heard from a professor that you guys." She indicated she one, "Found me on the steps of Hogwarts…is that true?" The four guys, Alice and Lily were shocked. Finally one of them snapped out of it.
"Yes it was us, I would be Sirius, and this is James, Remus and of-course Peter."
"Nice to meet you guys." Angel said then walked away, joined the girls and went upstairs, when upstairs she shouted, "I have to thankyou sometime soon." The boys heard the sound of a door slamming.
