Chapter 1-

Little Emery Maddox stood at the entrance of the Great Hall with every other first year, feeling the same bits of excitement and nervousness that everyone else was feeling for what lay ahead, but something separated little Emery from the rest, and it wasn't the scar that lay upon her forehead or the fiery red hair. It was that even though Emery was feeling excited and nervous she was also feeling sad, sad that her parents of ten years would never know the house she was sorted into, would never know the friends she would make and would never know the adventures she would have, and that is what differentiated Emery from the rest.

You see Emery Maddox was not your typical young witch. She, up until age 10, lived in the United States with her Mother, Father, and younger sister, WIllow. Two years after Harry Potter defeated The Dark Lord, little Emery was born. From the very beginning everyone could sense she was different, she was powerful. From a young age, she had the ability to control her powers and use wandless magic, something that drew the attention of many, something that drew the attention of the world's latest dark wizard; Pontentfur.

Not many knew this dark wizard, in fact he kept his work secret in order to prevent being caught, but since the day Emery was born, she had been on Pontentfurs list of people to kill. He had been born like her, powerful and talented, but as he grew up it was realized he could do something, something that would change the course of history.

For some time Potentfur had been murdering people, absorbing the power they had as they died. It was an ancient magic, a magic that hadn't been seen in a thousand years, magic in its cruelest form, magic in its most painful form. So when Emery was born with magic as strong as Dumbledore's from birth, Potentfur knew he wanted it, he knew he had to have it. The next 10 years he planned and prepared to murder her, but Emery's parents were smarter than that.

They had wards surrounding their house protecting their family from harm, and they worked, but on two separate instances did tragedy take place.

It happened when Emery was six and Willow was four. The two children were playing in their backyard with a quaffle when the ball rolled out of the wards. Emery knew very little about wards, but knew she was not to cross them; her sister; however, was so little and innocent that she did not understand the importance of them, so she chased the quaffle into the open forest next to their house.

The effect was almost instantaneous. Emery watched as her sister left the wards and immediately knew something was wrong. She called her sister back, but she could not seem to hear. And just as her parents entered the backyard to their daughter panicked cries, did potentfur appear in front of Willow. The memories are in blurs for Emery, but she knows her little sisters screams will haunt her forever and the tears and the pain in her parents faces as they watched their youngest daughter die will never leave her.

The second instant came when Emery was ten. Her parents were in the kitchen talking when Emery came in furious. She had been sick of living in this house, never being able to leave, and never having anyone to play with since her sister's death. Her parents tried to explain that this was for her safety, but Emery couldn't understand. With all her fury, her magic began to spike and the wards dropped. Within ten seconds Potentfur appear right in their kitchen, ready to kill.

Emery remembers all of it- her parents screams and convulsing bodies. She remembers them twitching as the last of their life and magic left them, and she remembers Potentfur turning to her, his wand raised and speaking the words to kill. It is unclear what happened, but somehow Ebony's magic saved her and weakened Potentfur and his remebers the pain of the cruciatus curse over and over again, as Potentfur tried to weaken her so her magic would leave her body more easily, but he was wrong, and all she remembers after that is a flash of green light, searing pain in her head and everything slowly disappearing into oblivion.

Hours later, aurors from all around the world came to investigate at the sign of another dark wizard arising . One of these aurors was the famous Harry Potter. He felt drawn to the girl for more than surviving the killing curse, so with the permission of every government, she was allowed to go back to the UK with Harry and start her life there.

It had been less than a year since her parents murder, and everyting still felt fresh. She was still adjusting to life with Harry and his wife Ginny, but everything felt as if it was moving so fast, and she was stuck in slow motion. So when the door to the Great Hall opened and they were called in did little Emery's heart skip a beat in emotion.
