Rowena and Arianna~
The twin girls ran down the grassy slop. They had similar features, the same bright, determined blue eyes, but one had long red hair to her waist, while the other had hair so blond it was almost white and cut only slightly longer then her shoulders. They were both dressed in pretty dresses to their feet, fit for princesses. The red haired girl had a green dress and the blond a blue. They looked like small faeries, running as such, and laughing. That was when they encountered the small boy asleep behind a bush.
"What should we do, Rowi?" Asked the blond one.
"Arianna, we have to help him!" Replied the fire haired one.
So both girls managed to carry the boy back to their parents house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Godric woke slowly, with the sound of rain pounding on the roof.
"Where am I?" He asked slowly.
"Oh, the boy is awake. Go fetch mum, Arianna." Cried a small girl about his age with long red hair and blue eyes that were currently looking into to his green ones. "It'll be O.K. Mummy can heal anything. She is a very powerful witch." She said in a soothing voice.
"Can she heal sadness," Asked the boy, with a wistful sigh. "Because that is what I have."
"I am so sorry, for whatever could have happened to make you so sad must have been terrible." Said the girl. At that point, A tall lady with blond hair and the same jewel blue eyes as the girl entered the room.
"Poor child. What has happened to you, at such a young age, to make you suffer so?" She had a soft voice, not too different from his mothers. He began to cry at the thought.
"My mummy and daddy were killed, so I had to live in a dungeon for two years before the mean man let me go. And now I have nothing." He said through sobs. The red haired girl put her arms around him to comfort him, while her mother got out her wand.
"Now I can cure all of your physical injuries, but what is in your mind will take more time and may never fully heal. I hope spending time here will help you recover. My daughters will help if they can. But what you need now is rest." With that she picked up Rowena and carried her out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Rowena lay down to bed that night, she wondered about the little boy. *Who was he and why was he here? He said his parents were dead, and he was kept in the dungeon. How could somebody do that?* Rowena had always had a good life. He father had died when she was young, or so her mother told her, though she secretly believed he had just abandon them. She didn't remember him, though, and she loved her mother a lot and was happy to have her. She also loved her sister, who was her twin as well. Life had treated her well so far in her short five years.
The next morning, Godric woke well rested, and he felt better then he had in most of his life. The potions the lady had made him had soothed all the pains in his small, hungry body. He had not yet eaten, though, so his stomach practically growled.
"Are you hungry?" Asked the same red headed girl.
"Yes, very." He answered.
"Good. My mummy's making a good meal.I am Rowena by the way."
"Oh, I am Godric." He answered as the lady entered with tray of food.
"Feeling better? I hope my little Rowi hasn't been bothering you too much." She said to him.
"No, its ok." He said as he started to eat ravenously, as though he hadn't eaten as weeks, which he hadn't.
"My poor boy, you must be starved. Where did you come from?"
"I, uh, came from Valley. My parents, they were killed, so I, uh, ran away." Something about the lady stopped Godric from telling the truth. At this, she grew angry.
"I KNOW you are lying, boy. Tell me the TRUTH now!" She bellowed at him.
Godric held his head up high, and spoke one word. "No."
Again, her face softened. "Forgive me, child. I lost my temper. I will get Rowena to watch you today while I go out. You must realize, though, there is only advantage to telling me the truth. Were your parents wizards?"
"No." He replied.
"Fine. I must leave." With that, she left the room quickly, calling for her daughter.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"How did your parents die?" Questioned Rowena later that day.
"They, they killed themselves." He responded. Where he had the feeling he could not trust the woman, about her daughter he felt the opposite.
She gasped. "That's horrible. Why would they do that?"
"My mother did it to save me. You see, they were slaves to this mean man, and he agreed to let me be free when they died. However, after they killed themselves, the mean man kept me in the dungeons and wouldn't let me go until my mommy's ghost scared him into it." Tears welled up in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall, for he had sworn never to cry again.
Rowena was too shocked to move. She had never heard of such horrible things in her short life. Being trapped in a dungeon! It was so horrible. She spoke very timidly. "Why would anyone be son mean?"
"I do not know. I did not understand it." With his words, Rowena put her small arm around him and hugged him.
"If you need to cry, go ahead." She said in a small voice.
"No, I am done crying, I had two years to cry in that dungeon. I am done." But as he spoke these words, tears welled up in his eyes, and he let one salty drop fall down his cheek.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Arianna sat on her fluffy bed, freshly made, and thought about the small boy. Her sister was so taken by him, always bringing him food and sitting with him. Arianna however, did not like the boy. He was taking her families attention away from her. Her mother was usually out anyway, but when she was home, she spent all her time with the little boy. Godric, as he said his name was. He wasn't even decent enough to give a last name. She loved her mother and sister dearly, and hated to see them away from her. At that moment, Rowena entered the room.
"Poor Godric, he has been through so much. He is so brave, he even refuses to cry. And with the years he sent in a dungeon and his parents murders and all." She sighed.
"He does not deserve our help, Rowi. He isn't even a wizard. He is a muggle, come from a muggle family. Why should we help him?" Said Arianna tartly.
"Arianna! How can you saw such things! He is too a wizard, even if he doesn't say it. I can see it in his eyes whenever mother does magic. He knows what it is." Came the angry reply.
Arianna just turned her head and started trying to read.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Again, the two girls ran around the edge of the hill, so absorbed in their youthful joy that they did not seem to notice the world around them. Except this time, another figure followed. That of a young boy, who seemed sadder then the two girls. Or maybe it was more clumsiness to the happiness of childhood, as though this was his first time running around as a child, not having to act like an adult to survive. He had golden hair and bright green eyes, like a shining emerald. When the children reached the valley at the bottom, they stopped, and fell into laughter. They rolled around in the soft grass, giggling and laughing. Then the boy got up.
"That was the most fun I have had since, since, that one time in the field when I was only three. And even then it wasn't so much fun!" He cried in a voice filled with happiness.
Both girls laughed. "We come here almost everyday, except when you came, we didn't want to leave you, so we haven't come in a while." Said the red haired girl, Rowena.
The boy, Godric Gryffindor, laughed. "I think may sad life has taken a turn for the better." He said gleefully.
All three children ran from the house. There was nothing in the world that could ruin there happiness. Or so they thought, until they heard the bloodcurdling scream after they heard the words "CRUCIO!" And then after a few seconds
"AVARDA KEDARVA!!"
A/N: ok, aso how did you like it? Was it good or bad? I know it took me a while to post, but ff.net wasn't letting me in, so I had to wait to put this up. Also, I didn't exactly know how to do this chapter, either. Oh well, thanks to all those who reviewed! I love you all!!!
{Captain Cornflake} I am glade you like it. I will try to get chapters up quickly so I can get to the Hufflepuff chapter.
{dkg} I know, chapter two was sad. I hope this chapter is happier, until the end.
{toastedpaco} I will try to update as quickly as I can, but I was having problems with ff.net. Sorry about that.
{roary14_} Thanks for your review, I am glad you like my story. I did get a chance to read your story. It was cool the way you put everything from Hermiones point of view, it made me think about what really went on. Point of view is, of course, very important in a story.
{EMeraldQUeen} Thanks for your review.
