Just so you know.This story is for so many people out there, who have
helped me on my way, who are always, or were once always there for me, and
who I couldn't have done anything without. This is my first fanfic, and,
rubbish as it may be, I want to dedicate it to all the special people of
whom the memories shall always remain with me - after all, many author's
dedicate books to their loved-ones..Why can't I?
So this is to my family - Mum, who, even in death, looks after me forever. Dad, who keeps his promise and takes care of me throughout life. Sarah, in my opinion the world's best sister, who is always on the end of the phone if I need to chat. Simon, who, again in my opinion, is the world's best brother, and who has taught me so much, little does he realise. To my best friends throughout primary school, Lucy and Jenny - hopefully one day we shall begin to talk again and be good friends once more, your friendship is too big a thing to lose. And to my friends now - The Moos and the Spankys - Alyssa, Becci, Hayley, Kara, Jenny, Laura, Sarah, and especially to my two very best friends, Katy and Nu - Three is the magic number. The Moos and Spankys shall remain strong, even over the miles.I may be the first to "fly the nest", but I certainly won't be the last.True friendship, just as true love, never stops - and ours won't either.
Finally, one more little thing I'd like to add, before I let you lovely people go on and read the stuff that comes out of my head, into my pen, is transferred onto my hard drive, and then onto this website.Much thanks to J.K. Rowling, who is the true witch herself - the woman who's wand, combined with her great mind, created the true magic..Harry Potter.
DISCLAIMER: I don't want to be writing this every chapter, you know..Oh, you all know the drill. MOST of these characters do not belong to me, but to the genius named J.K.Rowling (I've got your brain figured out by now, J.K.I think I have an inkling of what's to come. Good on ya!!!). However, Tori Potter and the Greenfield family all belong to lil ol' me. Oh, and this plot, too.
Enjoy..And review! Pwiddy pweeze?

DANGER, SO CLOSE TO HOME.
Tori Potter sat in the Gryffindor common room, scribbling away furiously. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was 2 months into the school year - it was November. Next to Tori sat her adoptive younger sister, by a year, Amy. On the sofa and chairs nearby were Tori's best friends - Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Ron Weasley - and opposite Tori was her twin brother, Harry.
Ron threw down his pen, causing the group to look up. His face was flushed with frustration, and he was glaring at the parchment he had been writing on.
"That's it! I've quit! Snape can go and shove his stupid essay up his - "
"Ron!" Hermione interrupted him, looking reproachful. "If you don't get it finished, you'll get no marks and a detention!"
"So? I always do, anyway."
Tori glanced desperately at the others - arguments between Ron and Hermione were never pretty.
Amy jumped up, and ran to the window. Ron and Hermione stopped fighting to stare at her, and Tori, Harry and Ginny swapped looks of confusion as Amy opened a window.
"Ames, it's beginning to snow out there, what do you think - Oh!" Tori spotted a small, brown owl on Amy's arm, and a letter clutched in Amy's hand.
Opening it, Amy scanned over the parchment, then glanced up at Tori with eyes full of fear. "What? What's it say? Who's it - "
"It's from Mum." Amy walked back to her sofa, shaking. "She says - she says - The Leigh's, across the road - killed - the Dark Mark above their house." Amy trailed off as the entire group gasped in shock. All of them knew the Dark Mark was a symbol of the darkest wizard of their time, Lord Voldemort, and his dark arts activities, and all of them also knew that only Death Eaters could summon the mark.
"But - they're muggles!" Tori exclaimed.
Amy shook her head weakly. "The eldest son - Phil, you remember him? He was a wizard.Mum said so, in this." Amy indicated the letter, her hand still shaking. "He was a Death Eater, but betrayed - " She shook her head, avoiding having to say the name. "And - the worst part is - Dad - he got hurt."
Tori leaned back, shocked, her face pale. "Guys.There's something I should tell you.It's - it's linked to all this, I think."
But before she could speak another word, a loud pop echoed from the Gryffindor fire. As everyone turned slightly to see what had made the slightly familiar sound, Ginny gasped.
There was a head sitting in the fire.
A/N - I know it's been short. I'll try and make the next one longer. And I know it's rubbish right now..Bear with me, and give me advice, OK? Thanks guys.'Mie xxx
