Prologue
It was the last day before we were to leave; my best friend Harry Potter was leaving for Hogwarts School doe Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I was leaving to "travel". I was apart of the system for as long as I could remember and always ended up in horrid foster homes, usually ending up leaving them and living on my own on the streets. So I decided to travel around on my own when the system tried to send me in a different part of the country. I would travel around until I found my place in the world.
Harry and I were sitting in the park alone, waiting until it was time for him to leave with his family to the train station. "I'm never going to see you again, am I?" I whined sadly.
"Says who?" Harry said hopefully. "What if we became blood siblings? That way we'll never forget each other." He said, jumping up from the swing he had been sitting on. I nodded happily and pulled out a pocketknife from my pocket. I had picked it from a guy who was trying to bully Harry at school. Ironically that was the day we became friends.
Carefully, we sliced our hands and clasped them together tightly, letting our blood mix. Unbestknown to us, a faint golden glow encircled us, brightest where our hands were joined.
"Harry!" We heard Dudley shout. We broke out of our trance and I hugged him tightly one last time. "I swear, if you don't owl me, I WILL hunt you down!" I threatened. Harry chuckled. "I promise as long as you always reply." He said before running back towards his house. "Goodbye Harry." I whispered before turning around and walking away in the opposite direction.
