"But we can't just leave her, she's my child," a woman dressed in dark cloak approached the entrance of a grand building. Cobbledown, but different. She was with a man who seemed focused and proud at what he was doing. A small basket was in the woman's pale hand.

"We have to, her life will be better without us, none shall ever know about it, as far as they know, she is still here. Remember, this is what we have to do and I do not want to do it anymore than you my dear,"

Bella stared at the two figures from her position above. They seemed strangely familiar, as if she had seen them before, in another life, and listened to their ghostly, distant conversation,

"I love you my dear, I am so sorry that I have to leave you in such an awful place. I shall find you one day,"

The woman lay down the basket with a pile of cloth inside - a baby, next to a huge door. Bella seemed to get further and further away, the images blurred and disappeared...

Bella awoke suddenly and expected to be back in her home with her parents shouting at her to get up for breakfast but quickly remembered where she was. Nothing had changed much but Bella had made herself queen of the place, ordering small children around doing jobs for her. But nothing could ever make up for not having a proper home or a proper family. It had been two months since she had arrived and still detested the place more than anywhere else and remembered in her rotting bed. She stared out of the window. What a strange dream she'd had, those two familiar figures whom she had never seen before but still remembered like she'd known them forever. Thats just weird, she thought.

The sky was a bright, cloudless blue and the sun shone brightly across the dusty hated it. None of the other children were awake and Bella wanted to find her way around this dump while she still had time.

Even though she had spent two whole months in the orphanage now, she spent most of her time tormenting and torturing the young children in the room with her simple spells and terrifying tales of murder and blood. They were all in terror of this girl and tried to avoid her at all costs. This meant that Bella spent most of her time alone and she liked it that way. Cobbledown did by no means seem like a home to her, but she did not miss her parents or her home in London at all at all. They had left her and for that she was angry and had to avenge them, someday... "Maybe I can use my powers to transport them to another world or to turn them both into frogs, or to torture them to my heart's content. Wouldn't that be wonderful and soon I'll know how to do it..."

Bella had always had a different mind about things, and a vicious temper.

There were many staircases in the building but half of them seemed unusable due to the rotting wood, so Bella took the one going down carefully until she reached the bottom floor. Facing the door, this was her chance, she could leave this place and never return. Now she knew that she was a wizard, what could go wrong? She returned to her bed, rushing up the stairs and hearing the planks under her feet and gathered her things before slowly opening the door of the orphanage, it creaked slightly, but soon, Bellatrix was free.

As she stepped out proudly of the terrible place she had lived in for two long, dreary months she flung her hand behind her, letting out a jet of fire towards the building. And the echoing screams filled her with joy and achievement.

Bella thought that she was alone when this incident occurred, but she was far from it, for as soon as she began to walk away from the building a dark figure emerged from the trees,

"Hello Bellatrix, I hope you did not mean to do that on purpose?" he had short dark hair and black eyes, Bella was utterly terrified,

"I... I ur... didn't mean to sir, it was an accident,"

"Really?" he looked suspicious but carried on talking,

"My name is Professor Forfawn,"

"Follow me then,if you will?

"Why?" Bella argued,

"Don't you want to come to Hogwarts?"

"Um..." Bella wasn't sure, should she follow this strange man or set him on fire,

"I will," she had to stop being so childish and learn how to do proper magic, not just silly little tricks. Bella could learn to be fully powerful.

"You seem different to other young pure- I mean muggle borns that I have picked up, oh, muggle is what we call non wizards,

"I suppose that I am just so much better than everyone else," she grinned,

"Why did you say pure?" Bella questioned,

"Don't speak, it was purely a mistake now be quiet until we reach Diagon Alley,"

"Diagon what-"

"Quiet!"

"Okay," she replied timidly, if all Hogwarts teachers were this bad, Bella wouldn't be able to survive.

They walked on and on until they reached a large hill with a plank of wood at the bottom of it,

"Why have we stopped here?" Bella asked impatiently, Professor Forfawn ignored her and tapped the wood three times with a long stick,

"Is that your wand?" Bella narrowed her eyes, intrigued by it all but suspicious,

"Yes well done," he said sarcastically,

"Tell no one that this is how you got into here, if your... parents hadn't left you here then we could have used the official entrance but this one will do for now."

He looked at bella and gestured towards the wood,

"So, walk through then child we haven't got all day,"

"What do you mean? And why did you hesitate about my parents-"

"Just go through!"

Bella stepped forward in her ragged jeans and top and closed her eyes, expecting just to crash into the wood in front of her and wake up back in the orphanage, but she went straight through.

Hi everyone thanks for the reviews for chapter one, I know that some of you were confused at Bellatrix being muggle born but it shall all make
