Chapter 3 – What the Bloody hell are you talking about?

I stopped moving suddenly. It can't be, it just can't.

I remember the stories Aunt M and Uncle A told us about Harry Potter. They said that he was the only one who survived the killing curse, much less Voldemort. Or as I like to call him, Oldywart. The twins got a kick out of that one.

Unfortually (For the adults anyway), I found out that these were just lies. Well part of them a week or two after my tenth birthday.

~~**Flashback**~~

I rolled around in bed. I couldn't sleep at all thanks to that stupid dream I had. And kept on having.

There was a boy, with black hair that fell over his eyes. It looked like bed hair all the time but it suited him. He had some round glasses that were broken in the middle and the most beautiful green eyes. He looked to be about ten, eleven maybe. He was in a cupboard, with a bed and a couple of toys around the shelves. He looked very sad and lonely and he was wearing an oversized shirt and pants.

The thing that intrigues me the most is the scar he has. It was shaped like a lightning bolt on his forehead and it looked exactly like my scar on the inside of my left wrist. I don't know how I got it but when I ask Moony or Aunt Molly or Uncle Arthur, they say they have know idea but I know they're lying. I know the others know what is going on too and I am the only one left out.

I sighed, giving up the idea of going to sleep and got up out of bed. I thanked fate for me deciding to wear my long pants instead of my shorts. The pants had baby pink and blue butterflies on a white background, it looked really pretty.

I went down stairs to get a warm cup of milk, thinking that would help me. I heard Aunt Moll cleaning in the kitchen, while talking to Uncle Arthur. I hesitantly opened the door, trying not to interrupt, but that idea failed as soon as the two adults looked at me.

"Amber, dear" Aunt Molly said coming over to me "What are you doing up? You're supposed o be asleep, we need to get the boys new books tomorrow early on the morning"

I grinned sheepishly "I know, I am sorry but I can't go to sleep" I sighed, irritated "I keep having a dream about a boy with messy black hair, glasses an he has the same scar as I have but it is on his forehead" both of the adults shifted uncomfortably when I said that. I narrowed my eyes and shifted my hip to the side, placing my hand on my hip "What do you know that I don't know?"

Uncle Arthur sighed, defeated. Inside I was chanting 'I WON! I WON!' but I managed to keep a straight face on the outside.

"Well..."

~~**End Flashback**~~

Apparently, when I was rescued from my parents and my mother's sister couldn't take me in, the potters, Lily and James said they would be delighted to take me in since they were going into hiding anyway. But it didn't do very good.

Harry potter and I are the only ones who have survive the killing curse, let alone Voldemort. That is why we have the scars, from the killing curse. He tried to kill both Harry and I with one stone but it backfired and killed him. Well, got rid of him anyway.

"I wanted to tell you but again, Dumbledore swore me to secrecy" Moony sighed 'Anyway, enough of that. Look through the album, you have lots of pictures and there is some space left for pictures of friends when you go to Hogwarts" I did what he asked and looked through the album. There were so many pictures of Ron and I because we are the same age, we hang out a lot. He is too overprotective for his own good. He is the type of brother that will bash up your first boyfriend. No wait, scratch that, all the Weasley boys are like that. Way too overprotective.

My favourite photo by far was a picture of me and a dark blacked hair boy when I was one. I was standing up in a purple dress with little poka-dot bows in my hair, which was pulled into two pig-tails. I was smiling at the camera, waving with one hand while holding the boy's other hand with my left. I took note that I did look a lot like my mother, even at that age. My hair was too my waist already at that stage, if it was down that is.

The little boy had a tuff of black hair and emerald green eyes. He was in a little tuxedo with a purple tie, probably because of my dress. He was waving at the camera as well. In the background you could see a room decorated in balloons and streamers.

Funnily enough, we were interrupted by all the boys running out from the field. They were all panting and heaving. I smirked at them. Idiots….

"Bloody hell, Amber!" heaved Charlie "I think you have become faster the last time Bill and I visited" To prove his point the twins fell to the ground and yelled out dramatically at the same time "WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"

I rolled my eyes at them before giving Moony a hug then skipped inside; all the while receiving glares from the idiots we call today, boys.

A week before the term started, we all went to Diagon Alley to get the books. I felt really bad because I had my parents inherent. The Weasleys don't have a lot of money but I do. I suggested that I put my money onto their safe but Aunt M wouldn't allow it. She told me not to worry about it. I still felt bad though…

We already got the money from Gringotts and were running through the shops. Ron and I were off on our own because we have been here too many times and Aunty M and Uncle A trust me to be good. Pft, like that will ever happen!

"Oi! Amber! 'ello?" I snapped out of my thoughts from the sound of Ron's voice. I smiled sheepishly at him.

"Sorry" I said "I tuned out. So, where to first?" I looked around at all the shops. There were so many! I saw the animal shop and remembered that I wanted to buy something.

"Hey Ron" I exclaimed excitedly 'Lets go in the animal store!" I was already pulling him towards the shop but his arm slipped out of my grip.

He shook his head "No way! I will go to Olivander's Wands shop first, kay? You go in there and we ill meet up at the Madam Malkin's" he left before I could answer. I just shrugged and headed towards the shop.

The bell dinged as I stepped inside. A little lady came out of a door. She had grey hair that was up in a bun and had glasses. She was wearing normal muggle clothes with a apron around her. She smiled when she came in.

"Hello, dear" she said taking my hand to shake "My name is Maggie"

"Amber" I said shaking her hand politely.

"Now what are you after today?"

"I was going to get an owl and a cat, please" she smiled kindly at me before leading me to one of three doors. She opened one and led me to an owl house.

I asked my aunt and uncle if I could get both and they agreed. They said they would be delighted o pay for them but I told them no. I had enough money to spend

"Now, dear, can you hold out your wand arm, please?" I did as Maggie asked and almost immediately an owl flew over and landed on my arm. It was black and grey, with opal colour eyes. I giggled and listed my finger to pet her. She cooed with comfort.

"Ahh" Maggie said, making me jump. I completely forgot she was there "This is Lexi. She is different from the other owls. You see her eyes? Yes well, they're supposed to be yellow like the rest but they are opal" she sighed "Oh well, she is very sweet though and very strong. She loves to stay out of cages and loves to stay near her owner. Lexi also gets very cranky if she doesn't know what is happening with her owner, so just tell her where you are going and what you are doing before you leave her" I nodded "She is very patient but if you make her angry, she will get revenge" she chuckled before beckoning to follow her. I did after Lexi flew onto my shoulder, nipping at my ear.

You smell nice. I stopped walking. Who was that? I looked around but no one but Ivy and I were here. I shook my head, thinking I was being paranoid.

What's wrong? I stopped again. Okay now I know there is someone here. I looked around, searching for someone. Maggie came in, looking confused.

"Dear, what's the matter?"

"Someone was asking me something" I said, confused "But I don't know who it is!" I grew apprehensive when Maggie's face formed into a grin.

She clapped once before saying "Oh my goodness! It seems I have met an animal talker! Oh happy days…"

Okay, now I am confused "What is an 'Animal talker'?"

"You can understand animals, such as Lexi here" she explained, all the while leading me out the door "She was the one talking to you just then and believe me, it is a very rare power. Not may people have it, right now, there is only about three in the world" she stopped suddenly, a look of concentration on her elderly face "Well, four now, as you have it too"

I was very surprised from hearing this but Lexi nipped at my ear and cooing, which calmed me down instantly.

I am never going to get out of surprises, am I?
