Chapter One
Meeting People I Don't Know and How I Screwed It Up
I walk next to Dean nervous. He's been going for four years it's only my first. I walk and see Dean disappear through the platform walls. Mrs. Thomas goes with me. I smile and she walks me over to where Dean is with a bunch of others and their relatives.
I smile and Dean waves me in. I shake my head no and decide to go get my stuff on the train. My Owl stays in the Animal compartment, luggage in the luggage compartment, and my little bag stays with me. I walk over to where Dean is and he looks at me. He can see something's wrong, probably see that I'm sad. So, he breaks the tension in the only way he can.
"Did you run into another wall, Alice?"
"No. I didn't. That was vicious. One, you were the one that made me dizzy, and two, I was distracted so I couldn't move out of the way fast enough."
"No…That's not it. Why would I do that?"
"Because I scared you when you were watching some not scary movie."
"It WAS scary!"
"How is Finding Nemo scary?"
"When the blind fish was almost eating them, it was terrifying. Or when Bruce was chasing them. Then the whole Birds scene…"
"You're weird."
"HEY!" A stern Lady says.
"What? He calls me Zany, crazy, eccentric, neurotic, facetious, and insane. I should be allowed to call him weird."
"It's very rude."
"We're Just playing around, Mrs. Longbottom," Dean interrupts.
"She's a demon child. She deserves to die."
My breath hitches and I start back away as Mrs. Thomas warns, "Augusta…"
I run away towards the train and Dean trails after me. We sit in a compartment and he lets me cry on his shoulder as I have before when I was abused or had a nightmare. I cry so much that I end up falling asleep…
I wake up to Dean shaking me lightly.
"Alice, you need to change into your school robes so you can be sorted."
I yawn and stretch. I realize my legs are across the laps of other people and shoot up. My waist length hair decides to cover my face in a tangled mess. I move it out of the way, grab my robes and a brush, and then head to the bathrooms.
After changing, I appear at our compartment and see a blonde-haired person and two fat boys. I snicker and they turn. I walk in and burst into laughter. Dean looks at me and I calm down. Then sound eerily like The Red Queen. "You must meet my fat boys, they're not entirely bright but they've got the most peculiar way of talking. FAT BOYS. Go on speak."
He rolls his eyes and laughs with me. The blonde-haired person looks at me with disgust. I smile and wave.
"You're a Mudblood."
"Wrong. I'm Pureblood. And A VAMPIRE!"
He widens his eyes.
"Bye-bye."
He walks out and I sit down. I take out Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens and begin to read. The others start talking around me and I am in my own world while reading about guardians, God, Church and love.
I didn't notice anybody glaring at me. I look up and see Neville, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione glaring at me.
"Yyyeeessss?"
"You're the demon child."
"She only said that because I'm the daughter of-"
"Bellatrix Lestrange and Robert Kingsley," Neville interrupts.
"I know."
"You're a bitch just like her."
I look at Hermione.
"Hermione, do you believe in character?"
"Yes."
"Caring, Cooperation, Goal Setting, Honesty, Humanity, Integrity, Patience, Perseverance, Respect, Responsibility, Self-Control, Self-Esteem, and Service. Correct?"
"Yes."
"Doubtful."
I open my bag and take out two Hershey's Bars. I give Dean the milk Chocolate one and I take the Special dark for myself. I break a piece and set on my tongue so it can melt. I open my book and read until the train stops. I get out and get in a carriage with the others and a blonde-haired person introduced as Luna Lovegood. I smile and she says something about her charm keeping away Nargles.
I wait with the first years and go inside. I will be the last.
"Alice Kingsley-Lestrange."
I walk up and sit on the stool. I feel something on my head.
Ah.
Is this the hat?
Why yes it is.
Hi. So you sort me. Where shall I go?
Well you could be a Slytherin.
I will rip you to shreds.
Ravenclaw?
I'd feel like a dead person. Too much darkness.
You'd do well in Slytherin.
I WILL rip you to shreds and make a nice belt out of you. I'd also make sure to shut you up.
Then
"GRYFFINDOR!"
I walk over to the glaring table and sit. I hear Dumbledore start a speech then hear a girly Hem, Hem. I grit my teeth. I can tell evil surrounds her. Everyone sees the look on my face. A woman with a black bow and curly blonde hair walks out from the staff table. I purse my lips at her horrid pink dress and shoes. She gives a speech about how she will be changing things at Hogwarts. I get the meaning.
I will be watching at all times so be careful. Your precious school will be mine yet. Cornelius will be kicking out Dumbledore so enjoy things while you can. Your teachers and classes will soon be different. You will suffer a blood-writing quill if you dare defy me. We're going to do thing's Umbridge Style.
I smile as I think, "I am Woman, Hear me smash."
She finishes and Dean asks, "What Now."
"Her attitude reminds me of the whole I am Woman, Hear me smash. That's what she was saying. You didn't get that? Wow. I did."
"Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?" Seamus asks.
"I'm sure, Finnegan. Now, pass me the chicken."
We eat and Seamus and I tease each other through the entire thing, making others laugh.
"Do you have a pot of Gold, or do you not inherit it until you're 18."
"If there's ever a time they need a killer, you'll be the first to be called."
"I'm sure that with your hormones, at least half these girls will no longer be innocent."
We kept on until we had to go to our common rooms. We walk up the stairs and I go up to my room shared with Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny. I go and put my stuff at the extra bed and see the dresser is already full of the others clothes.
I shrug and transfigure an old nightstand into a magnificent closet. I put a bunch of Garment bags filled with my creations. I put my boxes of shoes in it and then move their clothes out and set them on their beds. I put in my under garments, shirts, shorts, pants, socks, skirts, and pajamas which are just a bunch of Deans old t-shirts and boxers. I miss being able to sleep in the room I chose.
I sit on my bed and smile at them. I re-enlarge my piano. I put a silencing charm on the door and pull out my music. I play part of Distance by Christina Perri.
I then Sing.
The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do
Right now
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling.
Call this anything but love
And I will
Make sure
To keep my distance
Say I love you
When you're not listening
And how long
Can we keep this?
Up
Up
Up
Please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see
Right now
I'll give you every piece of me
All my broken heartbeats
Until I know, you understand
And I'll
Make sure
To keep my distance
Say I love you
When you're not listening
And How long
Can we keep this
Up
Up
Up
And I keep waiting
For you to take me
And you keep waiting
To say what we have
So I'll
Make sure
To keep my distance
Say I love you
When you're not listening
And How long
Can we keep this
Up
Up
Up
Make sure
To keep my distance
Say I love you
When you're not listening
How long
Till we call this
Love
Love
Love
I stop and change into my pajamas and leave my dorm. I walk into Dean's dorm where Harry and Seamus are fighting.
"Me mum almost wouldn't let me come."
"So she believes the Prophet then?"
"Yeah, and so do I. So tell me, did he really come back."
"Why don't you just read the Prophet like your stupid mother, it'll tell you everything you need to know."
I step in.
"Seamus, stop. It's not Harry's fault entirely. It's mostly fear on your mother's part. Harry is telling the truth but you refuse to see the truth. I can tell you personally my bio-parents are trying to break out of Azkaban. Only one thing would drive them to do that. Voldemort."
"You're drunk."
"I don't drink."
Dean looks at me then does a double take.
"Aren't those my favorite pair of boxers and my favorite shirt?"
"Maybe, but they're mine now."
He shakes his head and Neville's voice breaks the silence.
"My Gran says it's the Prophet that's rubbish. She's cancelled our subscription."
I sit on Dean's bed and he studies me.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you in your dorm?"
"My dorm mates aren't too welcoming."
He wraps his arms around me. I look at the floor and study it to hold back the tears and hurt that is overwhelming me right now. Seamus holds my left hand in both of his. I blink fast, but to no avail. A tear falls, and another, before long they're trailing fast.
"Alice?" Neville is in front of me. I look up in response and he says, "Would you like to come to the Green Houses tomorrow."
"I'm terrible at Herbology, but I'd like to watch if that's okay."
He nods and hugs me. I smile and Neville picks me up. I am moved from Dean and Seamus' hand slip
away from mine. Neville lays me down and covers me. I smile as I fall asleep.
****#3rd Person****
Neville sits on the edge of the bed next to Alice. He turns to the others and says, "She's beautiful, don't you think. She's got quite personality."
The other boys in the dorm share a look before turning back to their friend. Neville's face is crimson and the others shake their head. A Redheaded boy bursts in. He looks at Neville, the sleeping girl, and then throws a clueless look at the others. He shrugs then speaks.
"Harry, I think I've found something about Alice."
"What is it, Ron?" said the black-haired, bespectacled boy with a lightning shaped scar.
"She's been with about three families. A nice family the first ten years of her life, an abusive family, and Dean's family. Apparently, the father of the abusive family tried to rape and kill her. Her life was in danger. I'm just not sure how she knows Dean so well."
"When she was with the Abusive family, she lived next door to each other. We hang out and she practically lives, no she does live, in my house."
The others nod and look at Neville who's stroking Alice's hair and plants a soft kiss on her cheek. He crawls in with her and falls asleep. The others get in bed and fall asleep. When Alice is sure Neville is asleep, she turns into him and kisses his cheek as softly as he did to hers. She flips back and goes to sleep; unaware that Dean witnessed the entire thing.
