Chapter One- The Beginning and The Ending

Harry sat on his windowsill smiling at his new friend, Crystal. Crystal's dad had abandoned her when she was seven. The same age she had been, when her mom started beating her.

Suddenly, Harry's eyes grew wide as Crystal's mom entered her room. "What are you doing?' she shrieked. Crystal leapt to her feet and took a step away from her mother, but her mom grabbed her arms with one hand and started beating her with her other.

Harry looked up at the stars and closed his eyes. He heard Crystal screaming and opened his eyes. He ran from his (unlocked) room and pounded on his aunt's and uncle's door.

Vernon opened the door and yelled "Boy, get back to bed!", but Harry yelled "No! It's Crystal. Her mom. She's gonna kill her!" "We'll call the police in the morning. Now get to bed." Yelled his uncle. "When morning comes it'll be to late!" screamed Harry." Bed. Now." Stated his uncle firmly.

Ignoring his uncle's word Harry ran downstairs and knocked down the door to the cupboard under the stairs. He found his wand and ran from the house to the house next door.

He burst down the front door and sprinted up the stairs. He heard Crystal crying and when he entered the room he saw that her mother was hitting a lifeless body of anothr girl that was not Crystal.

Crystal was laying on the floor crying. Her mother looked up at Harry and shrieked "Who the fuck are you?" Harry raised his wand and said "Leave Crystal alone before I kill you." Harry said it in a low whisper, yet firm whisper. A small puddle of blood surrounded Crystal while her mother said "So you're a freak too?"

"Petrificus Totalus! " shrieked Harry pointing his wand at Crystal's mom. Her arms and legs snapped together, letting the dead girl fall to the bedroom floor. Crystal ran to Harry and placed her face in his chest.

'Oh shit! I'm going to be expelled!' thought Harry and he hugged Crystal. "Come on. Let's go." Said Harry taking Crystal's hand and led her down the stairs and out the opened front door.

When Harry got out side with Crystal at his side he saw two police officers and . . . Cornelius Fudge! "Harry! What happened here? You know the . . . " his voice drifted off as he saw the badly bruised Crystal.

"Did you-?" he started, but Harry raised an eyebrow and responded "I saved her from her mother. She killed Crystal's sister, who was trying to protect Crystal, and I pulled the full body bind on her. I had no choice."

"Er- excuse me, but what are you talking about?" asked an officer. Fudge jumped and Crystal smiled slightly, then he smile fell. "We need to take the girl to the police station for questioning." Said the other officer. Harry looked at this officer. 'He looks so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.' Thought Harry.

Crystal hugged Harry one last time. Harry whispered in her ear " I'll always be your friend." Crystal smiled up at him, then walked over to the officers. The officer that Harry was suspicious about put his arm around her shoulders and asked her "How old are you?" "Twelve." Replied Crystal her smile fading. "How old was your sister?" asked the other officer. "Seven." Replied Crystal.

The two officers and Crystal walked slowly away from Harry. Harry suddenly realized that his scar was burning, but he had not paid that much attention towards it.
