Chapter 1: A Stronger Power
Yes, It is true....parts of it anyway. On the night that He Who Must Not Be Named tried to kill the little baby Harry Potter, the spell backfired and he vanished, all his powers diminished. But not many people know that it wasn't only his mother that helped in saving his life.... A land far, from the muggle inhabitants, in the deep magical world, a little 3-month-old baby girl was lying, curled up in a warm cotton blanket, in an old mans arms. The old man was looking down through his half moon spectacles at the little baby, who seemed to be in some kind of shuddering trance. " Sirius, I want you to leave the girl with me. You are to head straight over to James's house and see if they're all right. I don't know what your daughter may be going through, but her powers are incredibly strong for her age, even if she is a nesodeflic, even though they do have stronger powers than most wizards, Alanna also seems to have more." Said Albus Dumbledore. "But Albus, I am afraid of what I'm going to see there. I have never been scared of anything in my life until now. If anything has happened to Lily and James and little Harry. I will never be able to forgive myself. Please take care of my little Alanna." Sirius said gravely. " If anything has happened to the Potters, the Ministry will think that I have done it, as I was their secret Keeper. Everyone thinks I'm connected with the dark side because of my family. " Do not worry yourself, Sirius... not yet anyway. I promise I will take care of your daughter until your return. Be quick now and be safe." "Good bye Albus." And after giving a loving glance to the little girl in Dumbledores arms, he departed through the door and shut it with a snap. And while her father set out on a long journey through the magical world little knowing that he would soon be in Azcaban for the next thirteen years, Alanna shuddered violently in her trance.
"Minerva, It is a great loss yes, loosing the Potters to Voldemort and Sirius in prison, but we must work around it. From the moment Hagrid turned up with Harry on Sirius's old motorcycle, I knew that he had gone to look for Peter. I should've known that Sirius would try to go after Peter, I shouldn't have let him go alone, he was too angry. Harry is now safe at his Aunts and Uncles place, but what are we to do with Alanna now that Sirius is in Azcaban?" Said Dumbledore more to himself than to Professor Magonigal. Sitting behind his grand desk, his skinny finger tips together, thinking hard. "Minervra, do you know what a nesodeflic is?" He asked quietly, looking at the grave looking lady before him. "I have only the faintest idea, all I know is that only 2 are born every thousand years, and they have strong powers." Professor Magonigal said curtly. "Oh, but there is much more. Nesodeflics are indeed born every thousand years, but as there are only 2, they are born at opposite ends of time. One at the start of the thousand years, and one at the end, one a boy and the other a girl. It's to do with the stars.... But what is unusual about Alanna is that her brother was never born. There fore, she shouldn't have been born till the start of the next thousand years. " What does it mean Albus?" " It means that she not only has her own strong powers, but she has also gained her brothers, which means she is twice as powerful as a normal nesodeflic. A normal nesodeflic has the same powers as a witch or wizard; just they are 10 times stronger. Alanna, not only has that, she seems to have every power a wizard can have. I would call her a sorceress. She is the only one that can help Harry in the future. We must keep her safe." Dumbledore said in a tone little more than a whisper, his eyes wide and worried. " She has no reliable family now, Albus. Most of her family are either dead or they are deatheaters, we cant send a little baby, yet alone a nesodeflic to them!! They will make her go to the dark side, and God only knows that's all we need!! A sorceress to work for the Dark side and kill us all. There is no one to keep her!!" Magonigal pointed out sounding worried. " She will be safest here, in the magical world, were I can keep an eye on her and where she can develop her powers. Sirius has made me her godfather.... I think it best if I were to look after her." He said as if it was a very simple answer to a simple question. " But Albus! You have too much work already! You have to keep an eye on Harry and look out for signs of You Know Who and work on how to clear Sirius's name with out getting too involved..... you have no time for a little girl!" "I don't plan on doing it by myself Minervra. I will need help. She can simply stay here over the holidays, that's easy, but we must not let any of the other students know what she is. If the word gets out that she's a nesodeflic while Voldemorts supporters are still on the loose, they will try and kill her. She is the only one that can guide Harry to defeat Voldemort, the only one with enough powers. I will explain all this to her when the time is right, when she is old enough to accept her responsibilities." Dumbledore said in a deciding tone. Magonigal just looked worried, but decided not to question his theories. " But now, we have to arrange the safety of these two children. I want you, Minervra, to take Alanna to Headquarters and give her some food and tell the others the plan. I will in the mean time arrange everything here." Professor Magonigal took the baby gently from Dumbledores arms and disappeared through the door with out a word. Meanwhile, in the just awakening muggle world, little Harry Potter was just being awoken by his Aunts screams as she opened the door to get the morning milk.
