Eternity's child: Hey everyone! This is my fanfiction here and I hope y'all like it lots. Enjoy!

Chapter One

No matter what Shaylee didn't want to go home. Her all muggle family hated her because of her choice to be a witch. Her only sister used to be her best friend but then she got her letter and her sister turned on her.

At school she was an outcast. She had only one close friend and that was Jemma. Jemma was the only person Shaylee ever talked to in her first year. Shaylee was a very shy and quiet person.

Shaylee built walls around herself to keep from getting hurt, by her family and the people at school. She was never noticed at school and people only really looked to hurt her. Sure she had a few friends but none even compared to Jemma and her friendship.

Shaylee had shoulder length long soft red hair with bright green eyes and semi pale skin. Jemma had stormy gray eyes and black hair streaked with purple. Her hair was almost waist length.

Shaylee reluctantly threw articles into her trunk. She looked over toward Jemma who was doing the same thing.

"I'm happy those to airheads Kassie and Jen aren't here right now." Jemma said.

"Me too." Shaylee replied.

"Shay?"

"Hum?"

"Do you want to go home?"

"Nope." Shay said simply.

"I promise I will invite you over to stay with me as soon as I can." Shay gave a small smile.

"Thanks Jem."

"Well I'm all packed." Jemma said with a bit of sadness in her voice. "Me too."

"Is that all you say?"

"Well for now it is."

"Let's go grab a bite to eat in the great hall and then we can get the train. We have time."

"Sounds good to me."

The two of them marched down the stairs and then into the Gryffindor common room. A few people lingered there waiting for the train to arrive. As the two trotted though the room the got various look from people. Jemma rolled her eyes in annoyance as Shay kept her eye directed towards the ground.

"What are you all looking at?" Jemma hissed at them. People immediately returned to what they were doing.

"What is wrong with these people." She said as they walked out the common room door. As they walked the two talked about what they were going to do during the summer. Well it was more Jemma talked and Shaylee listened.

"Maybe we can go camping again. Granny and I did that last year and she loved it. We could probably do it again when you come to me house."

"Possibly."

"Or we could go to some of the Quidditch games in London!"

"That would be awesome."

As the two jabbered on in their conversation they did not relies they were about to run into something. Or someone.

Shaylee was smiling happily at something Jemma had said when she crashed head on with someone.

She flew backwards and hit the ground with a thud.

"Ow." She said, trying to message her backside with great difficulty.

"Sorry about that. I wasn't watching where I was going." A hand appeared in her vision and she took it gratefully.

"That's ok. I wasn't watching either." She said quietly.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter." She lost her words. Why would someone like him ever introduce himself? He would probably be just another one of them.

"Uh- I'm Shaylee."

"Hope to see you around Shaylee." He said with a smile. Shay gave a tiny smile back and quickly grabbed Jemma's arm and pulled her along.

"Are you okay?" Jemma asked.

"I think my tail bone is bruised but other then that I'm ok."

"That's good but that's not what I was talking about. Why did you push him away like that?"

"Because Jemma think about it. It's Harry Potter, he famous! Probably won't even talk to us and even if he does it's probably just for gags." Jemma sighed.

"You're probably right."

Shay and Jem walked into the great hall. Breakfast was still on the table and both of the girls go a hungry look in their eyes. Both had a piece of hot buttered toast. (I'm hungry...mmm toast. Anyway back to the story)

"I'm so glad this school year is over." Jemma said happily.

"Well I'm not really. I could really use the practice in potions. I swear Professor Snape is out to get Gryffindors."

"Yea, he's like the teacher who would break off your leg and then beat you with it." Jemma laughed. Shay laughed along with her. "Oh crap, we've got a half hour so lets go get a carriage now."

"Yea alright." As they got to a carriage they saw Draco Malfoy from a distance.

"How can you be that rich working as a death eater?" Jemma said.

"I don't know and I don't really intend to find out. Jem we shouldn't put our noses where they don't belong."

"Yea, yea. Shay you are way to paranoid."

The rest of the ride to the train was fairly event-less. As they got to the train they seen that most of the compartments were full. The two came to a compartment that they thought was empty but as Jemma opened the door she seen three people.

"I'm sorry, but there are no compartments left. Can we stay here?" She asked sweetly.

"Oh yea, sure." The red head said. "I'm Ron Weasley." He added.

"Jemma Stone." She said shaking his hand as she sat down next to him.

"I'm Hermione Granger." Jemma shook her hand too.

"Harry Potter." Jemma gladly shook his hand. She didn't remember she had already met him earlier.

"And you are?" Ron said asking Shay.

"Oh, I'm Shaylee Reynolds. Just call me Shay."

"Pretty name." Harry said.

"Thanks." Shay said quietly feeling her face flame up. After watching two games of exploding snap and one chess game Shay got up.

"I'm going to find some food." She said in a voice barely above a whisper. It was practically the only thing she had said the whole train ride home. Jemma on the other hand had spent most of the time talking to Ron and Hermione. Shay left the compartment and Harry looked at Jemma.

"Is she always that way?"

"What way?" Jemma asked a little dumbfounded.

"Not really wanting to talk to anyone. Kinda cold."

"Oh Shay anything but cold. It's everyone who treats her the way they do that are cold. You see Shay has a very hard li-"Jemma didn't get to finish what she was saying. Everyone in the compartment heard a harsh voice come from outside.

"Where are you off to mudblood?" Harry recognized the voice to be none other then Malfoy's. Before anyone else could Harry jumped up and went to the door with his wand drawn.

"Leave her alone Malfoy." He hissed. Malfoy had his wand out and pointed toward Shay.

"Come to save your filthy mudblood girlfriend, Potter?"

"Leave her out of this." Harry said lithely.

"Why? Stupid filthy mudblood is worth nothing. She deserves to die." By then Shay's eyes grew large and coursed with fear. Upon seeing this Harry prodded his wand into Malfoy's throat. Malfoy recoiled a bit.

"I'll be back Potter." He gave Shay one last menacing glance. Jemma pushed past Harry who was watching Malfoy walk away. She pulled Shay into a hug.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Shay didn't say anything but nodded. A single tear rolled down her pale skin.

"Jemma, I think you're choking her." Ron said.

"Oh, oops." She said letting Shay out of her grip. Shay gave a small smile and walked back to her seat in the compartment. She sat in the corner by the window, pulled her knees to her chest and put her chin on top of them. Jemma sat next to her and pulled her friend into another hug.

"Shay, are you sure you're okay?" Harry asked.

"Yes." She said after Jemma had let her go.

"Just leave her alone for a bit." Jemma mouthed to Harry.

"I wonder what's up with her." Ron whispered to Harry.

"I dunno. But I'm gonna find out."

The train came to a halt at platform 9 ¾. Everyone got up and started heading off the train.

Shay all the sudden got a huge headache. In the aisle more and more people crowded around her. She frantically looked around for Jemma who was no where to be seen. No longer able to stay on her feet she collapsed.

"Shay!" a voice called. Shay made her self as small as she could against the corridor wall. Breathing hard she opened a door to a compartment and slid in. Still on the floor she put her head on the seat and took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked intruding on her thoughts.

"A lot of people keep asking that today." She said no opening her eyes to see who the intruder was.

"Well because it seems you keep getting into trouble today." Shay let out a small laugh. She looked up and seen the person was Harry.

"You get into more trouble then I do." Shay said softly.

"What happened to you out there?" he said trying to change the subject.

"I'm a bit claustrophobic. Not badly though. I suppose it was the heat that triggered it. "

"You never answered my question. Are you okay?"

"A little woozy with a bruised tail bone but other then that fine."

"Bruised tail bone?" Harry asked.

"From you."

"Oh. You the one I ran into today. Sorry about that."

"It's okay. Well I better be going." Shay said as she noticed whom she was talking with. She figured no good could come from it.

Harry wore a very confused look on his face. He couldn't understand why she was so distant with everyone.

Shay pushed her self up and waved goodbye to Harry. Lucky for her there was only a few people lingering in the hallway. She found her stuff and walked off the train.

"Shaylee!" She heard Jemma yell. "What happened to you?"

"Got a little panicky." Jemma knew what she meant by that.

"I promise to have you come over as soon as possible. Granny loves you she'll probably let you come in two weeks."

"I hope so. I'll miss you bunches Jem. I'll write everyday." Shay said pointing to a tiny owl in a cage.

"You better. See ya soon." She said hugging her friend.

"Bye."

"Bye." Shay walked out of the barrier only to be grabbed roughly by her upper arm.

"Where have you been girl?" Her father asked.

"The train." She said.

"Leave her alone Matt." Someone said. Shay silently praised her savior.

"Keahi. Why are you here?" Shay's father asked.

"To take Shay with me. I am her new guardian now as well as Lani's. You and your wife are going to jail for child abuse."

"You have no proof of that."

"Actually the police were watching you house all last summer. They had seen you beating Shay. I informed them after I seen a lot of bruises on Shay when see came to see me. Although you never did hit Lani did you? Why is that Matt? Just because Shay is different? Well I won't stand for that any more. You're going to jail." Shay smiled happily at her black haired aunt. More then anything she had wanted to get away from her parents. Two policemen apprehended her father. Two already had her mother. Shay yanked her arm out of her father's grip and walked over to her aunt.

"Thank you so much." She said. Lani stalked over to her aunt and watched in horror as her parents were talking away.

"This is all your fault. I will make you pay." Lani whispered to Shay.

"I'm home." She said sadly. "Home."
