Prologue: Ever wonder what would have happened if Harry`s parents were alive? Here`s my verison of what non- famous Harry Potter life would be like.


Falling



Harry Potter was walking up to the 5th year boy`s dormitory. It was time to pack for the Christmas Holidays. He and his younger sister were going home to see their parents.

Packing up his belongings, Harry thought about his first term. His sister, Lisana, or as they called her, Lis, was in her fourth year. She had made chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in her third year, and so far this season, had made over thirty goals in five games.

Harry had a pleasant new term with the exception of getting detention for dueling with Malfoy, where Snape had made him scrubbed over fifty cauldrons.

" Harry, are you done yet?" asked an impatient Lis. She was standing in the frame of the door, an annoyed expression on her face. Without answering, Harry levitated his trunk, grabbed Hedwig in his owl cage, and left the dorm.



Stepping off the train on platform 9and 3/4, Harry said good-bye to Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, and Hermione, who he promised he would write too. He turned to see his father, James Potter.

James took Harry`s trunk and set it on a cart.

" How was first term?" he asked smiling.

"Great," said Harry grinning back, " Although Snape was a complete git."

"Not much unusually about that, is there?" said James. " Harry, where`s your sister?"

"She was right here," said Harry looking around.

"Lisana!" called James who was seemingly worried. Most people had left the platform by now, and she wasn`t any where to be seen. James pulled a tiny mirror out of his coat pocket. Harry recognized it as a location mirror. A location mirror was used to find people, and could track them anywhere. His parents had each bought one when they graduated from school. With the threat of Voldemort, they wanted to be able to keep track of their friends and family in case an emergency.

"Locato" said James pointing his wand at the mirror. He sighed with relief. And walked toward the barrier.

"Hi Dad," Lis greeted them, " Sorry, I didn`t see you there." But Harry could tell she was hiding something, she looked upset and nervous. He was quite sure his father had too, but just didn`t press the matter. James hugged his youngest child, and they headed home.



Lisana was looking around her bedroom. The walls were a soft blue and the carpet was silver, as was her bed. In the corner was a desk. Across the room was a full length mirror and a dresses. She also had a vanity, closet, and book case. Walking over to the mirror, she looked into it. Her long black hair fell to her skinny waste. Her ocean blue eyes had a glint of worry. She noticed that her cheeks were somewhat pale. It was no wonder her mother had asked her if anything was wrong at dinner.

Her favorite thing about the room, though, was the window seat. She always sat there to think, and did so now. It was dusk and beginning to turn black out. Opening her window so she could hang her feet out of it, she leaned against the frame, and sighed. Her thoughts were very confused. After she had stepped off the train, Draco Malfoy had grabbed her arm, and yanked her behind a pillar at the end of the platform. He had looked at her very seriously, and asked her how she was feeling. Lis had replied by telling him to cut the bull shit talk, and get to the point of the conversation. She wished she hadn`t asked.

"Look, Lis," Draco said, "I know we`ve never been friends, but I would like to be. Your really smart and beautiful. I actually like you a lot more than I am saying. You know, you could become very powerful. You could have anything you want. All you have to do is what I ask."

"Oh, and what`s that?" Lis asked sounding braver than she felt.

" You would be loved greatly if you joined with the Dark Lor-"

"Never! I would never! He is nothing but an inhuman monster!"

"Than so be it!" said Draco in a harsh whisper, but then he calmed himself down. "No, no I will give you some time to think about what`s at stake if you don`t accept the offer."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the ones you love," he said with an evil glint in his eye. At this he walked away, leaving Lisana in a dazed trance until she heard her father.


*****

Life was difficult. She didn`t want to tell her parents and make them worry. She could handle Malfoy any day......he was just....a....stupid...prat....



Lisana was standing in ash. Her eyes burned with pain. Around her she could her voice. Screams came from every direction, chilling her to the bone. She needed run. She didn`t know why, but she needed to. Except at that moment, a knife thrust out from the dark towards her heart.


Lisana was awakened by her own loud screaming, realizing too late, that she was slipping out of the window, plundering towards the ground below. She hit it with a hard thump, and blacked out.
