Hogwarts Dark Magick
Runs along side the Harry Potter books
Prologue/
Maybe it was a dream, after all no-one could have defeated him. But then some-one had. News travelled fast in our community. Harry Potter had done the unthinkable. He had defeated Lord Voldemort – He was only a toddler!
But a curse befell upon Harry that fateful night. An unseen power filled the boy. Extraordinary magick filled his soul. And all to show for it was a scar. Lightening shaped and right on his forehead. This would serve as a link between them in times to come.
Yet another force was at work this fateful night. Another child was affected by what had happened. Rowena Ravenclaw's direct descendant, Isdila, had joined Voldemort and he used her for a child. An heir if you like. But she resisted him and fled to protect the child. When he fell and was outcast as a mere spirit with no form she thought they were safe.
How wrong, Isdila was killed and the child thankfully was saved by none other but Dumbledore. He carried her to her new home. She would be brought up by an unknown family of wizards and witches. The Moison family took her in but she retained the Ravenclaw name.
Chapter one/News
'Raven darling what are you for?' A distressed call of one Fibby Moison called out into the living room. She shook her head and cleared away the mess Raven had made. Her name was infact Rowena but she was called Raven when in trouble.
She resembled a Raven in many ways. Her dark ebon hair and her impeccable skill on a broomstick. She was lucky where she lived as it was a total wizard community so she could openly practice Quidditch. She loved Quidditch as it made he feel as though she was actually flying.
Raven looked up from where she lay on the couch, 'I'm only practising!' She protested. She scooped up the Quaffle and cradled it in her arms.
'Yea, but ya don't have to break another window!' She was at her wits end with the changeling child. She was forever breaking stuff with her darn Quaffle. She was a gifted player at the sport but she wished she would take to playing with her friends outside more.
'Sorry momma! I didn't think it would go through the window!' She helped clear away glass from outside. The sun was hot and it burned her neck. She finished sweeping up the remains of the window and headed back indoors. Her mom was upstairs cleaning her room and she went back into the living room.
What a surprise awaited her when she entered. She didn't think a fully grown barn owl would be waiting for her. It cocked its head to one side and dropped the letter it was carrying from its beak. It gave a soft coo and flew back out the broken window.
Rowena just stared at the letter. What did it mean? She walked over the coffee where it lay and stared at it for what seemed minutes. Her mother was coming downstairs and she stopped at the bottom stair after catching sight of Rowena.
'Hun? What ya staring at?' she dropped the basket of dirty clothes and rushed over to her adopted daughter.
She too stared at the letter then whooped for joy and hugged Rowena tightly.
'Finally! Oh darling I thought yours would never come! Wow oh boy wait till your friends find out! You'll be heading to Hogwarts! To Hogwarts!' She danced around but Rowena stood as though in a trance.
'What? You mean?' It finally hit her. After all these years of hoping and dreaming she'd finally get to see the magical castle that so many of her friend's siblings had described. The place where she would at long last become a fully fledged witch.
'I'm so happy for you! And not a moment too soon! I'll send a return letter! What a surprise!' Fibby grabbed the nearest quill and scrawled on a scrap piece of parchment 'Accepted' and got the family owl Huor to take it to Hogwarts.
'Wow, you'll have to get a wand, robes and owl and some much more! Books, potions equipment…' Buts her mother's words were becoming mere muttering as she heard an excited squeal from next-door.
'Momma, I'm going to see Willow okay?'
'Sure Hun! I'm just going to tell your cousins. They're sending their son this year and all.'
Thankful she could get away from her mother she left the house. A slight breeze had picked up but the sun still blared from the cloudless August sky. She went down their tiny garden path and through the gate. Godric's Hallow was a nice place to live. In winter it looked menacing and uninviting but in summer it was pleasant enough. She walked the short distance to next doors house and walked up their path.
She knocked on the door, 'Willow?' she called out and her father, James, answered the door.
'Raven! Did you get yours! Look, straight from the desk of Dumbledore!' she thrust the letter into Raven's face.
'Nice, yeah I got mine.' She laughed. They had been friends for what seemed forever. They even shared the same birthdays – September 22nd.
'Hey Raven' smiled Willow's older brother Mark. Raven smiled back. Mark had already started Hogwarts and was 3rd year in Hufflepuff. Willow laughed when she heard the news but Rowena didn't. As long as she didn't get put into Gryffindor she was happy. Willow wanted them to be in Gryffindor but Rowena hated that house. She wanted to be in Slytherin or Ravenclaw like her namesake. But only time would tell…
Okay 1st Chapter. I would like any comments at all and what you all though of it!
