Lives Washed Away: Aphrodite Black
(A/N- this takes place before Sirius finds her. Her name then was Laura.)
Laura Baker sat looking out of her bedroom window. She was 10 and her parents had just told her that she was adopted. She sighed, this explained the raven black hair she had, and the pale skin, while her parents had red hair and usually flushed red skin. She'd asked if she'd ever meet her real parents, but her mom and dad where very vague on that subject.
'Did they love me?" she wondered. 'Why'd they give me up'
She wondered where exactly she was from, maybe somewhere exotic like the Bahamas, or maybe somewhere fancy like Paris. Her mom and dad hadn't told her. Where her real parents dead or alive. Were they out on their luck, maybe drug addicts in jail? Were they mean, or nice, what were they're friends like? What were they doing at that exact moment? Were they the prosecutors or the ones being prosecuted? Laura just wanted to know.
'Maybe they were special,' Laura thought. 'Maybe they're King and Queen, and I'm a princess. Maybe I have a brother who's a prince. Maybe they're magical,' Laura stopped to ponder this. 'No they couldn't be, or they wouldn't have any problems, they'd use magic to fix all their problems, so she'd be with them.
