Once upon a time there was a King and Queen who ruled over the fair country of Gryffindor, a very small country but plentiful. The King and Queen were loved by the people, as they ruled with respect, grace and kindness. One day, the royal couple was blessed with a handsome baby boy, who they named Sirius. Three years later, they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, who they named Lily. Sirius loved Lily from the moment his silver eyes met her emerald ones, and they quickly became the best of friends. Sirius was a rambunctious boy, with semi-long wavy dark brown hair and a smile that could charm anyone, and Lily was an energetic girl with long violently red hair, and was adored by everyone she met. They were very close until one night, something happened that would change their lives forever.
Late one night, as the Full Moon shined brightly through the window in Sirius and Lily's bedroom, Lily became restless. She hopped out of her dark pink and gold sheets, pulled on her pink robe and ran over to Sirius's bed. She leapt onto the bed, and started shaking Sirius, whispering loudly at him "Siri! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Sirius yawned as he said to her "Go back to sleep, Lily," but she countered "I can't! The moon is awake, so I'm awake, so we have to play!" Sirius chuckled softly then said as he yawned again "Lils, please go back to bed," and he nudged her off of him, and she fell with a soft thump on the thick cream-colored carpet with an "Ompf!" She thought carefully for her next plan of action, and after a minute or two, she ran onto her brother's bed once again, opened his eyelid, and asked "Do you wanna do the magic?" She knew she was successful when Sirius immediately grinned, jumped out of his crimson and gold sheets, and after he pulled on his crimson robe, they ran downstairs, holding hands.
Lily giggled all the way down the stairs and hallways, because sometimes in the middle of the night they would go to the ballroom to have fun, where Sirius could reveal his secret: He was a wizard. They often played with snow and ice, since it was Lily's favorite, but he could practice other elements of magic as well. Their parents knew of his magic of course, and they covered it up as best they could, for the people were afraid of those who had magic, and might rebel if they knew about Sirius's abilities. The royal couple didn't approve of Lily encouraging Sirius to use magic, or Sirius playing with Lily using magic in the first place, but the two children did not heed their parent's warnings, and decided to continue it in secret. When they arrived at the ballroom, Sirius shut the giant wooden doors behind them, and asked Lily "Are you ready?" Lily nodded, her emerald eyes sparkling with wonder and excitement. He smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he made a little blue ball of magic, and tossed it in the air. Soon, three inches of snow coated the ballroom, and a small ice rink formed in the middle of the room. Lily immediately ran into the snow, and began making snow angels. Sirius chuckled at the sight and after sending some snowflakes to float in the air, ran and joined her as he too made a snow angel. They got up, and after admiring their handiwork, they built a short and slightly disproportioned snowman. Sirius got behind the snowman, and said to Lily "Hi! I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!" Lily immediately grinned, and ran to the snowman, her red hair swishing behind her, and said "I love you Olaf!" as she hugged the little snowman. After a bit more talking with Olaf, Lily decided to start jumping on top of little snow banks that Sirius would keep forming in front of her to jump to, but soon it got out of control: She was moving too fast, and the snow banks were getting higher and higher! Sirius struggled to keep up, and just as he shouted "Lily! Slow down!" he slipped on the ice, and his blast of magic hit her in the head. Lily fell in the snow with a thump, and was unconscious. Sirius gasped "Lily!" and ran over to her, bringing her in his arms "Lily! What have I done!" he said as tears formed in his eyes. He shouted as loud as he could "Mother! Father! Help!", and as soon as he said that, a few pieces of Lily's hair turned white. Tears streamed down the little boy's face, and he held her tightly as he said softly "I've got you, Lily". Moments later, his parents burst through the doors, and gasped as they ran over to Sirius. "This has gotten way out of hand, Sirius!" "My baby girl!" both the parents exclaimed, and Sirius said as he sobbed "It was an accident! I didn't mean to!" The parents exchanged concerned glances, and as the Queen gathered Lily into her arms and said "She's so cold!" the King said "I know where we have to go." He quickly walked to the library, found a dusty old book, and pulled out a map of the forest. The King and Queen took two horses, and Sirius rode with the King, as the Queen held onto Lily, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, on her horse. As they left, you could see an icy path following under the King's horse.
As they sped through the forest, little did they know that two little creatures had seen them: A little fawn and a little wolf. They were actually children, but both of them were cursed when their parents broke a vow they had promised to a dark wizard. The parents died shortly after, leaving the two to fend for themselves. Even though they could transform into animals at will, and they kept their minds when they transformed into animals, so they wouldn't hurt anyone as they got older and more powerful, it was still a curse because any magic in the land of Gryffindor was considered a bad omen, and people would most certainly harm them if they ever discovered their secret. Curious about what was going on, they followed the icy trail deep into the forest until they reached a clearing. There were many boulders scattered among the area, and the Royal family walked into the center of the clearing. The little fawn and wolf hid behind two of the boulders as the King said "Please, I need help, my daughter-" but before he could finish, the ground trembled. All the boulders had formed into small rock people: They were trolls! The fawn and wolf looked in awe, when suddenly a female troll rolled up behind them, and whispered to them "Aw! What cuties! I'm gonna keep you! You poor babies were cursed at such a young age!" As she hugged them, they wondered how she knew about their curse, but didn't question it as they were happy to have the possibility of a family again.
One of them exclaimed "It's the King!" and another one rolled over to the Royal family, and stopped right in front of them. He was an elderly troll, and after he motioned to the Queen to let him see Lily, she kneeled down. The elderly troll touched little Lily's forehead and asked the couple "Born or cursed?" Sirius looked up, and the King said "Born, and it's getting stronger." The old troll nodded, and said to them "You're lucky it wasn't her heart, the heart cannot be so easily cured," he put his hand on her forehead, and suddenly a cloud of magic formed over them, and it showed Lily's memories of magic with her brother. "She will not have memories of your magic, but don't worry, I'll leave in the fun," he said as he cured the little girl, and when he finished there was a small golden glow on her forehead that faded quickly, and she smiled in her slumber. "She will be alright," the old troll said as he looked to the King and Queen, who shared a look of relief. Sirius, who was also relieved but spoke up as he thought about what the troll had said, "But she won't remember my magic?" the troll shook his head, and said "No, young one, but it's for the best." Sirius felt tears forming in his eyes, now even his own beloved sister couldn't share his secret with him anymore. The old troll frowned, but waved his hands to form a magical cloud once again, and said to Sirius "Your powers will only grow with age, and though there is beauty in it, fear will be your downfall," as he spoke, the image of an older Sirius turned from him controlling his powers in blue, to him losing control of his powers in red. Sirius gasped, and tears fell from his eyes as his father pulled Sirius gently into a hug. "We will help him learn to control his powers. We will limit our staff, close off contact with the people, and close the gates. The gates will open again once he is ready." The Royal family thanked the old troll and rode back to the castle, where the gates would close that very day, not to open for many years.
