Chapter One:

Seven years later

(WARNING: Chapter is abusive and sad)

Note: Sorry if it to soo long but yaa…I haven't writen in a long time so I decided to have some practice again.

In mid winter, a boy with short black hair knocked on his sister door, "Selene, are you awake?"

There was a moment of silence but he could hear someone walking toward the door, stumbling a bit. The door opened, revealing a girl with black hair, tried up in a bun and wearing a white nightgown. She looked at her brother with a tired expression, leaning toward the side of the doorway. "What is it Cerius?"

"I had that dream again," Cerius replied, "sorry to wake you up but I couldn't go back to sleep." Selene covered her mouth for a moment when she yawned.

"Come inside, if father found out you here, he'll beat you," she said, grabbing Cerius's arm and taking him to her room. Inside the room wasn't much since their family was poor. The walls were painted gray, the floor was dirty and her bed wasn't much of a bed, more like a cot. "So tell me about the dream."

Cerius ran his finger through his hair, "I don't know, it's a bit of a blur. I was running in a dark forest, I couldn't see much but I was chasing for someone. Suddenly a bright light shined throughout the forest. Everything seemed to be glowing," Cerius said, closing his hazel eyes trying to imagine everything. "Then I heard someone call me behind in a motherly voice, I turned around expecting to see a woman but instead a black cloaked figure stood there, staring back at me but I had a feeling we met before. The cloaked figure started toward me with his hand stretched out. Everything felt so cold and darkness overcame the area, the light was gone. I could feel myself getting cold, losing conscience until a white stag figure came, chasing the black cloaked figure. Everything started to turn warm again but before I woke up, I felt someone swept me in their arms saying my name over and over again. The rest is a blur but I know there's more." He opened his eyes, trying to take in what happened.

Selene stared at her brother, a bit shock, "I don't know what to say, that dream is kind of different from the other one's you had." Cerius nodded, his other dreams were weird, mostly involved running through passages and seeing someone with green eyes watching over him. "Anyway, I think you should try to get some shut-"

A loud bang interrupted Selene, making her stare toward the door. "Bloody hell, father's back!" Cerius said.

She gazed back at Cerius. "Hide! If father knew you were awake…" Cerius didn't need to be told as he ran toward her closet, hiding inside. He kept a steady breath as he peeked in the closet, seeing his sister rushing back to her bed, pretending to sleep. He could hear his father's footsteps toward the Selene's room.

"Selene get out of bed and clean this bloody mess in the hallway!" His father rang as knocked open the door. He saw Selene sleeping on her bed but didn't pay attention as he went toward her and grabbed Selene by her hair then threw her to the floor. "Didn't you just hear what I said? Don't pretend you're asleep, I'm not fooled." Selene started to whimper as her father pulled her off the floor to the wall. Cerius knew his father was drunk since he only got abusive if he drank alcohol. "Don't make me repeat myself!" He yelled, throwing her to the floor.

Cerius could feel his rage grow as he stared at his father. He wished he could do fight but Selene always told him to hide when their father got abusive. 'It's better if one of us gets the blame and not both.' Selene always told him. He stayed in his place but still peeked inside the room.

Selene cried out a painful moan as she lifted herself up from the floor. "Today missy! Not tomorrow!" Darren yelled, taking his bear bottle that he grabbed from the floor and swung it at her head. Selene let out a scream as she put her arms over her head, protecting herself as she felt blood coming to her hands. Cerius couldn't take it as he threw himself out of the closet.

"Leave her alone!" Cerius yelled, standing up to Darren.

His father glared at him deathly, "what do you think your doing up this late?"

Cerius could feel himself trembled but didn't let out a sign of fear. "Leave her alone."

"I asked you a question!" Darren yelled, grabbing Cerius by his nightshirt and flung him toward the wall. Cerius head banged on the wall as he dazed his father in shock. "Tell me what are you doing in here and awake at this time." Darren started to walk closer to Cerius.

"Leave him alone father! He didn't do anything!" Selene yelled.

Darren stopped back in his tracks and turned to Selene. "I'm through with you and your brother! You ruined my life and your mother's! If you two weren't born, she would be here right now!"

Selene stared to gasp as tears stung her eyes, "that's isn't true…we didn't kill mum! You did!"

"No stop!" Cerius cried out, struggling to his feat but it was to late. Darren grabbed Selene from the floor and flung her to the cabinets. Once she hit the cabinets, the crack of her back rang throughout the room followed by her scream but soon disappeared as her eyes slowly started to close.

"Selene!" Cerius yelled rushing toward his sister but Darren blocked his way.

"It's your turn my son, tell your mother I said my regards" Darren smirked as he tried to get Cerius by his shirt again, but Cerius was to quick and ducked. He pushed his father out of the way, making Darren stumbled on an object, as he fell backward, head first to the wall. He fell uncouicous (SP?).

Cerius took didn't care as he rushed toward his sister's side, "Selene…Selene…are you awake?"

Selene gave out a quiet moan, "Cerius, I can't feel my back?" Her voice was hushed as her eyes were closed.

"We have to get you some help," Cerius said, grabbing Selene's arm and trying to make her move.

"No Cerius…It's to late for me. I'm leaving…I'm leaving."

"Selene you have to stay here with me!"

"I'm so sorry but everything is clouding up, I can't see anymore…I feel so scared…I'm going to die."

"Selene don't say that!"

"What should I say then? That everything is alright? That would be a lie, leave me Cerius."

"I won't!" Cerius said, grabbing onto his sister's hand and laying himself next to her. "I won't leave you."

"My times about to be up…" Selene said as she started to gasp for air now. "Call the police, 911…don't say who you are though, tell them everything…" Her hand started to grab tighter on Cerius's, she open her eyes and stared one last time at her brother's teary eyes. "Hide, make sure our family never finds you. Everything about our family is bad news…Cerius don't cry for me, I'll always be watching you, mother will to…I will always be th-ere….when….you…need…me….just…call…me." With those last words, Selene's let go of Cerius's hand. He knew she was dead but couldn't stop crying over the lost of his sister. Her dark brown eyes that were lifeless stared at him. He closed her eyes and struggled to his feet. He looked toward his father then Selene, he knew that this would be the last time he'll ever see them and walked out the door.

Far away toward London

Harry gasped for air, feeling a great pain hit his stomach. Leaning against the wall, he tired to regain his thoughts. Where did this pain come from? He thought, but suddenly of an image of a boy came to his mind. He looked closer to see the boy sitting hidden in an alley, crying as the image faded away. Harry felt confused, wondering if that was warning. Deciding not to pay attention, he wandered of in the castle of Hogwarts.

Hopefully I'll get the next chapter up sooner! Bye and please, review!
