"Allison! Allison wake up!" My Aunt shouted from the staircase.
I sat up in my bed and let out a groan. Why couldn't I sleep an extra five minutes?
"I'm up, I'm up. Quit your shouting!" I shouted back as I got out of my bed.
"Hurry up, and get down here! We have to go to that horrid train station full of freaks" My uncle shouted in a impatient tone.
I walked over to my closet quickly after running a hand through my ginger hair that I had gotten from my mother. I grabbed the outfit I had picked out the night before, a pair of jeans and a nice red t-shirt. I quickly threw them on and walked over to my dresser, where I grabbed my hair brush and ran it through my hair. I took a moment to look at my face. I had grown paler since the beginning of Summer, most likely from being force to stay in my room all summer long. However my gray eyes that I had gotten from my father were still bright and cheerful as always, and they were still filled with mischief making.
I grabbed my messenger bag that I had enchanted last year, while in school to hold all of my things. I put it over my shoulder and grabbed the mouse cage that held my pet rat, Squirt, that I had since I started school. I glanced around my room once more to see if I was missing anything. I checked my back pocket and felt the 12' inch willow wand with the core of a single unicorn hair.
"Allison, hurry up!" My Aunt shouted again and I let out a sigh.
How should I describe my Aunt, her Husband and their twin daughters?
My Aunt is named Susan Hitchpatch. She may seem like a lovely person, but behind closed doors, she is cold and distant, well towards me mostly. She usually give a cold look with her small green eyes, which I usually try to not look at, which is somewhat easy due to her short height, but her long brown curly hair never escapes my sight. She married a man named Erik Hitchpatch after she graduated college. The man is tall and thin with black thinning hair. His eyes are like my Aunt Susan's, cold and dark, but instead of green they are blue. He is very impatient when it comes to something important. They have a set of twins, my cousins. Their names are Tiffany and Trisha Hitchpatch. They both have the same curly black hair and cold green eyes. They both are short and super thin like Aunt Susan. Tiffany and Trisha is the same age as me, which is fiffteen. Those two are very spoiled and evil. My Aunt and her family are Muggles, meaning they aren't magical like me.
Since I'm telling you a bit about them, why don't I tell you a little bit about myself?
My name is Allison Black. Today I am going into my fifth year at Hogwarts. A school for wizards and witches like me. I am a half-blood. My mum was a muggle-born. Witch or wizard being born from a muggle family. My dad was a pure-blood. Witch or wizard being born from a wizard family. They both had died when I was only a baby.
I never knew my parents, but my Aunt had known my Mum, until she had went to Hogwarts that is.
My aunt had told me once that my Dad had been murdered and on the same night my Mum had dropped me off at their doorstep and left. A few days later my Aunt had received call from the police saying they found her dead in a alley. I was only three years old at the time, but I could remember my Mom's warm cheerful green eyes and her soft orange hair and my dads curly black hair and cheerful gray eyes. And for some strange reason I can also remember a black dog. I don't know why though.
I took a deep breath and exhaled as I turned the lights off of my bedroom and shut the door, before going downstairs. I walked quickly my bag flapping about until I reached the bottom where Aunt Susan, Uncle Erik, Tiffany and Trisha were waiting with all of their arms crossed over their chest with an impatient glare on their faces.
"What took you so long? I want you out of this house already!" Aunt Susan said as we walked out of the house.
Aunt Susan never really liked magic or anything to do with wizards and witches. She just wanted to be a regular house wife with a normal family. Uncle Erik is the same way, he has a brother that is a wizard and grew up hating his brother for what he was.
I walked to the car they had, a mini van and got in the main back. Uncle Erik got in the driver seat and drove to King Cross quickly. I watched out the back window at the things we had passed, until the van stopped in front of King Cross.
"Oh Trisha look it's Mac from Biology!" Tiffany said excitedly pointing at the side window of the mini van.
I looked over to where she was pointing at. There was a guy around our age. He was tall with short blonde hair, and was talking to a boy who looked like someone from Hogwarts, Oliver Wood.
"Mum, can we go say hi to him?" Tiffany asked as I got out of the van.
"Of course Trisha" Aunt Susan said with a fake smile on her face.
"I'm Tiffany, mum" Tiffany huffed.
Aunt Susan always got the two mixed up a lot.
"I'm sorry Tiffany" Aunt Susan said with another fake smile.
Tiffany and Trisha got out of the van and ran over to the guy and Oliver Wood.
"Tell Tiffany and Trisha we'll pick them up in ten minutes" Aunt Susan with a blank look on her face.
I only nodded my head and walked over to my cousins to tell them the message.
"Get away freak, we're busy" Trisha said before I could even open my mouth to tell them.
"Black is that you?" Oliver asked as he glanced over at me.
"Hey Oliver" I said with a small smile on my face..
"You look different" Oliver said.
"Yeah, I got rid of my glasses" I told him as I pointed to my face.
I used to have glasses, but the eye doctor said my vision was good and I didn't need them no more. Which was great, because I hated being made fun of by some of the older Slytherin students, though me and a couple of my friends pulled pranks on them.
"You know her?" Trisha asked Oliver while pointing her index finger at me.
"Yes. We go to the same school. Who are you?" Oliver asked her.
"They are my cousins" I told him.
"Are they you-know?" Oliver asked me in a whisper.
"Yep" I told him as I nodded my head.
The guy, Mac walked over to Oliver and I with a bored and annoyed look on his face.
"Hey Oliver, I have to go my Mum is wanting to go back home. So see yeah during your winter break, mate" Mac said and did a weird knuckle bump with Oliver.
"Alright bye Mac" Oliver said before turning to me as Mac left, "I best go find a seat on the train"
I let out a sigh as Oliver left, now I was stuck with Tweedleddee and Tweedledum, until my two best friends show up with the rest of their family.
"Great, we're stuck with a freak" Tiffany huffed angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Oi, Black!" I heard one of my best friends shout.
I turned around and saw one of my friends that I had been dying to see all summer long.
"Hey Fred!" I shouted and waved at the ginger haired boy with a wide smile on my face.
"Who's he?" Tiffany asked curiously as Fred ran over towards us.
"He's hot!" Trisha squealed excitedly.
"Wow! You do look different without your both set of eyes" Fred said laughed once he got over to us.
"I know! Where's your other half at?" I asked him as I didn't see his twin brother, George anywhere.
"He wasn't fast enough" Fred said gravely with a sadden look on his face.
"Molly's death hug's?" I asked him as I frowned and played along with his act.
"Yeah. I shouldn't had left him to defend himself all alone with her!" Fred cried and wrapped an arm around my shoulder as he pretended to cry laying his head on top of my head, all the while I was trying not to start laughing.
"Who are they?" Fred asked me as he looked up at my cousins quitting his act.
"Oh they are my cousins. You know the ones I have been telling you and George about" I informed him.
"Oh! You are right, Allie. They do look like House Elf's" Fred said with a grin.
"Excuse me, but what is a house elf?" Tiffany asked him with her head slightly tilted.
"Oh a beautiful creature" I lied quickly, before Fred could even say anything.
"If your blind" Fred muttered a bit to loud.
I stomped on his foot and he hissed in pain.
"Ow! Why'd you do that for?" he asked me.
"We're gonna tell mum you called us ugly!" Trisha and Tiffany shouted together with glaring eyes at me.
"Thanks a lot Fred" I muttered to him.
"Unless your friend will give us a kiss" Tiffany said slyly as she eyed Fred.
I have always believed that if Tiffany and Trisha weren't Muggles, and they went to Hogwarts, they would make the perfect Slytherins.
"Um I hate seeing you in trouble Allie, but I rather kiss Fang than her" Fred said.
"It's alright Fred" I told him and let out a sigh.
Hopefully they wouldn't remember about that once I return for the summer.
"Oi! You two love birds Mum wants to give you two hugs!" George shouted from out of no where causing me to jump in surprise.
Both George and Fred began to laugh at me. I glared at them and smacked George on the arm while shouting at him not to scare me like that ever again and to stop using the bloody nick name he gave Fred and I. Love birds, we weren't even dating or would most likely never too! He's like a brother to me!
"Love birds? You two are going out?" Trisha asked with wide eyes.
"Gotta go" I told her quickly while I grabbed Fred's hand and ran into the station building.
We ran through the station over towards the platform. George went ahead, I went second and Fred went last. We met Molly, which she pulled Fred and I into a death hug. She kissed both of us on the cheek before sending us off to the train.
"Aren't you going to tell your cousins we aren't dating?" Fred asked me as we walked onto the train.
"Nope" I told him opening an empty compartment.
"Why not?" Fred asked me as we sat down on the chairs.
"Because I want them to think I can actually get a guy to like me" I told him.
"I knew it. You two are in a secret relationship" Lee Jordan said poking his head in the compartment door.
"We are only best friends Lee" Fred said as Lee walked into the compartment.
"Yeah, Lee. We are only friends" I told him.
"Fine" He sighed, "So how was your summer Allie? Good or bad?" Lee asked me as he sat down beside George who was sitting across from me.
"Boring and horrible" I told him as I leaned back in my seat.
"But you did get your glasses off" Lee pointed out.
"Yeah, and that was the only good thing that happened this summer too" I said.
"Speaking of things happening in the summer, did you hear about Sirius Black escaping Azkaban?" Lee asked us.
Black? I wonder if we were related? Most likely, because from what I read about almost all Black's were related.
"Sirius Black? Who's he?" I asked them as I had never heard the name in the books I have read, when I were curious about my father's family.
"He killed like twelve muggles, a wizard and his own wife. He had a daughter, but no one knows what happened to her" Lee explained.
"And he was a big supporter of You-know-who" George added.
"Do you think he could be related to my Dad's family?" I asked them.
"Probably, you are a Black" Fred said as the compartment door opened and the kind old trolley witch popped her head.
"Anything from the trolley dears?" She asked us.
"Four boxes of chocolate frogs and four pumpkin pasties" I told her as I got out my money.
"Here you go dear" she said handing me the items as I handed her the coins with my other hand
I turned to the guys and handed them all a frog and pastry.
"Thank you Allie" Fred, George and Lee said taking a bite out of their food.
"Your welcome guys" I said before biting into my own pumpkin pastry.
After we ate our snacks Lee left to go find Angelina Johnson. A girl he had a crush on since first year.
"So Allie, are you going to join the qudditch team this year?" George asked me after a few minutes of silence.
"You know I can't fly well" I told them as a few horrible memories of accidents I had while flying came to my mind.
I couldn't fly a broom to save my life! I had broken my leg five times and my arm three times during my first year of flying lessons.
"Oh yeah. I'd hate to get another broken foot" Fred said as he probably remembered the accident when I had visited the Burrow one summer.
Not wanting to continue on our conversation about me and flying, I switched it to pranks. That's when we began to plan on what pranks we were going to be doing this year, until the train jerked making me fall to the floor in front of George's feet.
"Look George, Allie has fallen for you" Fred said joking as he snicker.
"I couldn't help my self. He's so Georgeus" I said jokingly as I rose from the floor.
George shook a little and looked around.
"Does anyone feel cold?" he asked us as I sat in my seat next to Fred
"Now that you mention it, yeah" I said putting my arms around my body.
"Bloody Hell! What was that?" George asked us all of a sudden as he jumped away from the window.
"What was what?" Fred and I asked him at the same time.
"Something dark floated by the window" George said quickly while pointing to the window that started to have ice covering it.
Then the lights went out making me scream and latch onto Fred tightly.
I have one fear and that is the dark. I know a fourteen year old Gryffindor should not be afraid of the dark, but I had that fear ever since Tiffany and Trisha locked me in the dark cold basement for a day and a half, when I was only five years old.
"Don't worry Allie. You're safe" Fred said putting an arm around my shoulder.
The train jerked again. I gasped and held on tighter.
"Ow. Allie can you not hold on to me that tight?" Fred asked.
"S-sorry, but I'm scared" I told him.
"Don't worry Allie. You're safe with us" George said.
"I-I don't think so" I stuttered looking at the compartment door as a creature in a dark robe looked into the window of the door.
"S-shit" George cursed as he saw the creature.
"What is that thing?" Fred asked with wide eyes.
"I th-think it's a dementor" I said looking at the creature.
A minute later the dementor went away. We stayed frozen until a bright light came from down the hall. I felt a little courage go through my body and walked to the door slowly. I opened it a little and poked my head out, which was a very bad idea.
"Allison! Get back here!" Fred whispered urgently.
"I think it's gone" I whispered, but I was so very wrong.
There was another one on board. I felt something cold breathing down my neck and turned around.
I let out a scream as the world went black.
~.*.~HP~.*.~
"Allison, wake up" I heard either Fred or George say.
Ever since I met them I could never tell which twin was which by only hearing their voice. It was easy to tell which one was which by sight. Either it was their hair style which were slightly different from one another or the mole on Fred's neck.
"Wh-what happened?" I asked as I raised up from the seat I laid on.
"Here eat this" A man with sandy brown hair said handing me some chocolate.
I took the chocolate and bit into it, making me feel much warmer.
"To answer your question Miss..." The man began, but stopped.
"I'm Allison Black" I told him.
The guys eyes went wide for a moment, but returned to the look he had before.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked him.
"N-no. Well miss Black. To answer your question. You fainted" He said.
"Why did the dementor attack me?" I asked him.
"Well the dementor's were after Sirius Black, and being related to him they must have thought you were him in disguise" He informed me.
"It's make sense" I said and it was the truth. His blood most likely ran through mine.
"Well I best be off. I have to talk to the conductor" The man said and walked out of the compartment shutting the door behind him.
I looked over at the twins who looked relieved to see me awake and well.
"Who was that guy?" I asked them.
Before they answered they both pulled me into a Weasley twin sandwich.
"We were so worried, Allie" Fred said.
"Don't ever do something stupid and crazy like that again!" George said.
"I'm sorry guys. I will never do something like that ever again" I told them and wrapped my arms around both of them, "Now tell me, who was that man?"
"He said his name was Remus Lupin" George said.
"And he's a professor" Fred added as it began to get harder to breath from the tight hug.
"Can you let me go?" I asked them kindly.
"No" they both said quickly.
"Please. It's getting kind of hard to breath" I told them.
"Alright" they said sadly and let go of me.
I sat down as they both sat across from me.
"How long was I out?" I asked them as I ran a hand through my hair.
"A few minutes" George said.
"Did anyone else get attacked by the dementor's?" I asked them.
"Yeah, Harry did" George said.
"Is he alright?" I asked them feeling a little worried for the third year.
"Yes, he's alright. The only thing happened to him was the same to you" Fred said.
"Thank goodness, Harry wasn't hurt" I said as I held in a yawn.
"Better take a nap, Allie. Don't want to fall asleep while we're at the feast" George grinned and I rolled my eyes at him as I laid down on the comfortable seat.
I looked at them both and told them if they did anything to me while I'm asleep then they would rue the day they messed with me. Though I was only half-joking. They both agreed that they weren't going to bother me, so I closed my eyes and let sleep over come me.
