AN: Originally I wanted to wait for a few reviews to come through before adding this chapter, but I've decided to go forwards with it anyway

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the world the book is set in.

Chapter two: The past of Alice Venders

Alice Venders looked at the wall in front of her. As usual she was bored. Bored and annoyed. Her aunt and uncle had taken good care of her all those years but she was very surprised at some of the stories about her parents: they had committed suicide together. They had jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge itself.

Her aunt and uncle took care of her now, and she was happy with that. They were very nice to her. They were a bit protective, but she thought they were afraid she would go like her parents did.

She stopped believing that on July 15th when the man in robes appeared.

"Good morning," he said when her aunt Nina walked up, "I'm from the Bay Area School of Witchcraft and Wizardry I'm sure you've been expecting me.

"No actually," said Aunt Nina rather coldly, "We haven't."

"I'm here to see Miss. Alice Venders have we got the right door?" he asked.

"I'm Alice Venders," said Alice walking up to the door. Aunt Nina shot her a rather cold look, one that Alice had never seen before.

"Come in," she said coldly, "George!" she shouted, calling Alice's uncle, "They're here!"

"You let them in?" said George.

"Aunt Nina," said Alice, "There's only one person."

"You stay out of this…the girl told them who she was!" shouted Aunt Nina.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" shouted Uncle George.

"You haven't told her," said the man. It was a statement, not a question.

"When her parents died, we wanted to take her in," explained Nina, "You see, we wanted a normal kid. George's sister was a lovely woman, but we wanted to have a lovely kid, not a lovely witch. It's not the same thing!"

"If it makes you feel better this isn't the first time I've heard this," said the man, "And there's a new magical school out there for kids who know nothing about the wizarding world it's…The San Francisco School for Muggle Raised Kids sometimes called the SFSMRK, or sometimes just the MRK. Since you haven't taught your daughter about the magical world, maybe you can send her there."

"No," said Aunt Nina, "We wanted a normal kid, the least we can get is a normal witch!"

"She won't be a normal witch at my school if you haven't told her anything. At this school she'll be pretty much normal," explained the man.

"Alright," sighed Aunt Nina.

"A representative of the school will pick her up on August 1st. Until then, please tell her about the wizarding world."

Therefore, Alice Venders learned that she was a witch and many other things about the wizarding world. More importantly she learned about the Dark Wizard Hellson.

Hellson wasn't his real name.

He had killed Alice's parents.

He had killed them because her father was a Muggle (non wizard) and her mother had married a Muggle. He would have killed Alice to but she was sick and at the hospital.

He had killed them, and taken them away, because of their bloodlines.

She would have revenge.

AN: So Alice is wants revenge on Hellson. Coming up in chapter three the story gets on it's way and we meet the third character of any importance

AN2: I need some reviews here! No flames though.
