Chapter 2

The End of Artemisia Potter

Artemisia Potter was 2 years old, it had been around near a year when her brother had been declared 'The-Boy-Who-Lived', her parents started ignoring her since then saying they didn't have time and were too busy, but Misia didn't believe them, she was smarter than that yet they don't seem to notice.

Her Uncles almost never paid her attention, Uncle Moony only read her 4 stories that year instead of the usual story every week,- and it usually was very very short, Uncle Padfoot seemed to play with Alex more than her too, of course he had also spent more time with his twin children born on August 12th just after they were born, the oldest a boy named Alpha Centauri Black and the younger a girl, Vega Capella Black, though she didn't blame them they were his kids after all.

She didn't blame Alex either, he was just a baby, however she was beginning to suspect and, dare she say it? Hate the adults around her 'they deserve it' she thought.

Ever since then, she had turn to her one and only solace; books, what a wonderful thing. She had read nearly half the books in the Potter Library, they had moved to Potter Manor after the Voldie incident, and she wanted to read more, theories, fictions, non-fictions etc. anything she got her hands on she read and the more she read the more she learned and the more she learned the more knowledge she gathered and the more knowledge the more power and wisdom, her mind was filled with infinite possibilities after picking up a book called 'Occulemency the Arts and Instructions' near the first time her parents ignored her, it sat just in the centre of the library in some elevated stool making it look holy, and she was ever such a curious child- it had practically said 'READ ME' in Neon lights. After that everything became all the more fascinating, because she learned the technique she was able to develop photographic and eidetic memory, saving each memory into her mind, her mind was based on Alice in Wonderland, one of her favourite stories; Outside the gate was a mist that you would get lost in and go crazy, but if the Cheshire Cat lets you through (under her orders of course) then you would find the mental and distorted world of Alice, or in this case Artemisia.

Artemisia knew a lot of things now and her mind developed to use that knowledge, looking at her parents she decided to be the good girl and strove to be a kind and forgiving person, so she decided to forgive her parents, she took out a notebook and a pencil writing:

Forgiveness days

Day 1: January 4th-

Ignorance and Neglect of Lily Potter, James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin

Decision: Forgiven

And this continued for several days, that turned to weeks and months, every day with every crime that she had forgiven

Day 27: January 31st-

Forgot to feed me of Lily Potter, James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin

Decision: Forgiven

Sometimes the crimes would repeat

Day 28: February 1st-

Forgot to feed me of Lily Potter, James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin

Decision: Forgiven

But the list kept going.

Day 38:-

Day 42:-

Day 55:-

One day in Spring the family had a picnic, they had almost forgotten to bring her along if she hadn't hitched a ride with them. The picnic was under a big oak tree and Sirius and James (as she had degraded them) were entertaining the other babies while the others just watched on chuckling. They didn't notice her.

In an attempt to get some attention she had tried to climb the tree, it was hard and she had scratches that she had expected she would but when she had reached the top she had a sense of pride and looked eagerly down below to call them towards her but in the end it was something she should have expected for down below the group was not where they once were and she had no idea where they were, the tears pricked her eyes but she quickly wiped them off- she'd keep trying!

First though, she had to find her way home, big problem; she didn't know where she was. This continued for however long till it was night time and an elderly lady whom she found out to be a witch had found her and called the Knight Bus to help her, she had thanked her profusely.

Day XX Spring:-

Left behind by Lily & James Potter, Sirius &Brianna Black, Remus Lupin during a picnic, because of this I had to find my own way home- very hard

Decision: Forgiven

One time in the Summer they had went to the beach and she was so excited; She hadn't been swimming before!

That day she was a bit scared to try and swim The Potters, Blacks and Lupin were busy trying to teach the others how to swim and she wanted to be part of it but instead she decided to show them that she could swim all on her own, so she had tried to swim when two older boys, maybe the oldest 12 and younger 10 years old came, both had striking red hair and freckles but were quite cute- just cus she was two doesn't mean she's blind! Both of them smiled at her and tried to help her, then two others- their other brothers, they had told her they were- came along looking near identical to each other but also had the apparently heredity red hair who looked 4 or 5 years old came and helped her as well. When she had learnt she had thanked them over and over again told herself off for not introducing herself, when she had they had seemed suspicious but not because of her apparently on why she was not with her family, thinking that it wasn't unusual she had told them her family situation, they had seemed a bit angry…

When she went to show her family she had gained a cramp and was drowining, struggling to breathe she had called for help and looked towards her family- they were not looking at her.

When she had thought she was going to die a flash of red hair blocked her view before the world turned dark. After she woke up she had found out the oldest had dived in to save her and one of them had performed CPR she could not be sure who as all seemed rather red in the face but she did know one thing, they had seemed rather feral when they were glaring at the Potters' group.

Day XX Summer:-

Lily & James Potter, Sirius &Brianna Black, Remus Lupin did not notice and or completely ignored me drowning in the sea

Decision: Forgiven

Despite everything it was Winter that broke her heart, it was Christmas time and she had wanted so badly to be loved she had asked Santa for it too but that day when she noticed that none of them had even spared a look at her, she decided that to test them.

She went out in snow where it was all but an outright blizzard. Sure it was cold –huge understatement- and sure her fingertips were turning blue- that probably wasn't a good sign- but she had concluded that if they had noticed she was not there for a family celebration then they'll surely send out a search party; she'll know she's loved once and for all.

However, as the winter drew on, she began to doubt them. Finally, after hours of wandering and waiting she had walked back home to check on them and saw something that darkened her world greatly; there they were sitting round the fireplace acting so much like a family, the warmth and the smiles like there were absolutely no worries in the world- the perfect happy family, not a single member missing. And that hurt real bad

Day XX Winter, Christmas:-

Lily & James Potter, Sirius &Brianna Black, Remus Lupin forgot me on Christmas a time of family she added bitterly and left me out in the freezing cold

Decision: F-F-Forgiven

The last word were written hesistently and crossed out often but the word eventually got on paper but not without a couple of tears

And soon it was her 3rd birthday with her brother, she woke up bright and early and ran downstairs with a-big smile on her face they won't forget my birthday! She thought with glee It's the same as Alex's. After the Voldemort incident Dumbledore had changed Alex's birthday to July 31st because he had thought the nurses' must have had the wrong time, the saviour had to be born as the seventh month dies!

She ran cheerfully to the living room where her parents were seated at along with Sirius and Remus, when she heard them talking she hid herself behind the door and pressed her ear against it "oooh I can't wait for pup to get out of bed" Sirius said

"Yes, yes but don't interrupt Alex's sleeping time" Remus admonished

"Have you sent out all the invites James?" Asked a nervous Lily

"Yes Lily I have! And all the decorations are in place!" sighed James "Don't be such a worry wart!"

"I know, I know and I am sorry but this is baby Alex's third birthday! And 3 is such a magical number!" Artemisia froze and her smile was wiped of her face as quick as lightning they only said Alex, it's always ALEX she thought with fury, she ran back to her bedroom with tears of anger in her eyes, they had forgotten her, there she wept till her throat was sore and her eyes red

"It's always Alex, they never remember me, they've not looked at me for ages, never talked, never listened, never hugged, never kissed, never nothing! WHY?!" she said to the wall of books in her room as if hoping it would answer "I thought-" a block in her throat prevented her from speaking "I thought they loved me" she whispered before wailing her heart out, her voice ached and ached but no-one could hear her, they were all too busy partying downstairs.

After the party finished and everyone seemed to have left, Artemisia went back down with her notebook and pencil to the living room, people were talking in the living room again, she put her ear against the door and listened

"That was a good party" She could hear the grin in James' voice

"Yes very exciting" Said another, it was Professor Dumbledore, she identified, then his voice turned serious "Getting down to business I wanted to talk to you about your daughter"

"Who?" James asked and Lily turned her head in confusion, Artemisia felt the tears in her eyes coming back up "Oh yeah Artemisia" James said, Artemisia was angry, her parents forgot she even existed, forgot they had a daughter, her fists clenched, maybe they weren't worth the pain

"Yes" Dumbledore confirmed hesitantly "Anyways, I was worried that she might become jealous of her brother, for his celebrity status, and I am afraid she might go dark" Artemisia glared from behind the door, she was only jealous of the love he seemed to be given, she didn't care about the wealth or the status

Lily gasped "No! How can we prevent that?" Dumbledore smiled warmly "I was thinking you could hand her off to your sister, I am sure Petunia would love to take care of her" Oh no Artemisia thought No way!

Lily thought about it for a moment if this was for the best- her thoughts were half-hearted as her mind was filled with Alex, she looked to James and they both nodded "Yes we agree"

Dumbledore did his grandfather smile warmly "Yes, yes that is good. We won't give her awaty until about a week so that you can spend some more time with her" That was all Artemisia heard before she ran up to her room again for the second time that day, shutting her door with a slam and looking at her notebook she wrote

Day XXX: July 31st-

Lily Potter, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin-FORGOT MY 3rd birthday but REMEMBERED Alex's.

Lily Potter, James Potter, Albus Dumbledore-thoughts and agreement to ABANDON ME!

Decision: Not Forgiven- NEVER AGAIN !

She shut her notebook and threw it to the floor not caring where it went, she curled herself into a foetal position and wept for the second time that day, it wasn't as loud as the first but a lot more hurtful.

She sniffled quietly and rose up glaring at the room around her, she picked up her magically enhanced space dimension bag that she stole from her mu- no Lily Potter and began to pack her things, a new notebook, pens and pencils, her favourite books, a couple of clothes and underwear, her sketch book, the books she hadn't read from the library, a training wand and some money she had saved up by stealing some change around the house and in the Potter's rooms and wallets (786 Galleons and 7 Sickles). Then she sneaked down to the kitchen and put some of the travel food into her bag, she went back up to her room and used the spray can she stole from a muggle store when she had accompanied The Potters on an outing and looked at her wall and began to write after feeling pleased with herself, she nodded in satisfaction. Grabbing her bag she swept up and left through the window, she never looked back.
