Chapter 1: The Beginning
They whisper in the shadows as I walk past
They don't know my true identity
All they see is my name and how I look
Will they ever see me
When will I be free to be myself and act as they do
Will I ever be free from my controlled life
When can I be me
Lady Artemis Gryffin (AKA Callmegoddess)
Harry Potter looked around as he peered around he finally felt at home, it was good to be back at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a summer of looking over his shoulder in fear of Voldemort and jumping every time the floorboards creaked. It was good to be home.
Three weeks into the semester Professor Dumbledore stood up at dinner one day with a look on his face that was met by immediate silence, as it held great sadness. When he finally spoke after thinking of how to find the right words to inform the students of what had happened his voice was filled with pain and reflected loss "It is my deepest sorrow that I must inform you of the information I have just received." He paused then continued " there has been another attack" since the school year began attacks on the wizarding world were becoming more and more common and Professor Dumbledore insisted on telling his students so that rumors would not fly. "The attack was one the noble families" This caused several of the students to exchange glances. "The attack was on our noble family the Gryffins" Instantly the hall filled with talking from all the people that had grown up in the wizarding world all while looking appalled and when Harry glanced at Ron and Hermione they had both gone white Professor Dumbledore raised his hand for silence when the hall quieted he continued. "Lord and Lady Gryffin were murdered in their home survived by only their fifteen year old daughter who had been away in her school in Salem at the time. She will be joining us here in Hogwarts very soon. I expect that you all to treat her with respect after all she is Lady Gryffin". The Hall burst into chatter again and Harry turned back to Ron and Hermione and said "Lady Gryffin? We have royalty in the wizarding world?" Hermione let out an exasperated sigh " you really ought to read more Harry. The Gryffins are not only a family of unbelievable powers but they are of royal blood. Personally I'm shocked that Lord and Lady Gryffin were murdered as for their daughter I suggest we welcome her with open arms she'll need friends right now.

Lady Artemis Gryffin leaned back she was on the Hogwarts express. It was Two weeks after her parent's death. Professor Mcgonagall was somewhere on the train but for the first time in two weeks Artemis was really alone. As she was inline to the throne of England she had gone through royal training that forbid her to show her emotions in public, even at her parents funeral she couldn't cry. Unshed tears spilled from her eyes. {Why} She thought angrily {Why couldn't I save them it wasn't them he was after it was me. Why} Her eyes wandered to her Hogwarts robes she was wearing. She was in Gryffindor as it was her former schools equivalent of Lionhearts. She hated Him. Voldemort. He had destroyed so many lives and she couldn't do anything. In truth she hated being lord and Lady Gryffins Daughter. People weren't honest with her only telling her the things that they thought she should hear. She remembered the moment that she realized her parents were dead and felt sick. She had been called into Headmaster Chansons office. When she entered she was surprised to see her fathers advisor Sir Kepis sitting in the room. When she entered the Headmaster and kepis rose. She greeted him and his reply was " Lady Gryffin Im afraid I have some regrettable news for you". At that moment she knew her parents were dead as long as they were alive she would never be Lady Gryffin. She was Lady Artemis her mother was Lady Gryffin. It took every bit of her strength to keep her composure. When her parents Will had been read the week before though she had received a terrible shock obviously as the only Gryffin heir she received everything but the shock came when the last line was read " If our death is to occur while our child is at school she is to be transferred over to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (HSWW). So now she was on her way to a school where she would undoubtedly be judged only as Lady Gryffin not as Artemis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
