Chapter Two: Thinking

LEAH'S POV

Leah stood at the top of the observatory tower thinking, thinking about everything that had happened to her since she could remember everything that the rebels wanted to destroy. It was well past curfew but Leah couldn't sleep so she came up here as she always did to think. She couldn't remember her parents she had been two when she was dropped off at the orphanage. The orphanage was magical so she had always known what she was but she had never known love or compassion all her family were dead as far as she knew at least. The only people who she had ever met that cared for her where the people she had met at Hogwarts, she called them her family, and now the rebels looked to destroy all that.

The Rebels were a group of people who from what Leah understood wanted to destroy all civilization beyond the wizarding world. They believed in the Anti-Muggle Philosophy only a less extreme approach, instead of killing all muggles they wanted to enslave them (which is just as bad if not worse,) and Leah wasn't sure if she fell into the 'Pure Blood' category she knew that they had no supporters in Hogwarts not these days at least.

Leah reached into her pocket and pulled out the small box that she carried everywhere. Safely enclosed inside was everything she had to remember her parents by apart from the two wands that she carried on her belt. Inside was an old ring with some sort of logo inscribed on a large Emerald set into it but it was to faded to make anything out —she had had it checked out by someone who said it dated back to the Greeks if not earlier- the box also contained a small rune with "Leah" inscribed on it and a letter crumpled beyond belief but still readable. It read...

Leah.

I am writing to explain all of the resent events that have landed you in an Orphanage.

Your parents were killed by supporters of Lord Voldemort all we found was a small rune with your name on it and a ring of unknown origin. Myself and my wife have debated the idea of keeping you to grow up in our household but as we already have young children we thought it would be best to let you grow up where you are.

The wands that are in your possession belonged to your parents they usually work with the children of the original users.

You have my word that it is as hard to give you up as it will be for you growing up in the Orphanage. My family has grown fond of you.

I hope we'll meet soon enough

You're Savour...

In first year Leah had devoted most of her free time to finding the man who had signed 'You're Savour' but with no luck. She had scoured too many people's minds to count she looked in all the Ministry documents she could find but with no luck.

Leah could read minds she had never told anyone but Lilly. Their where a select few people whose minds Leah couldn't read like the Headmistress, Professor Lupin, Lilly's Parents and most of her Aunts and Uncles but she could always tell what someone was thinking and sense their minds.

Leah looked down at her watch -which Lilly had given her last Christmas- half twelve too late. She turned around and snuck back to the common room and went to bed.
