So, please tell me what you think of the chapter and if you have any ideas of what would be better than please tell me and I will try to adjust. Please don't bash me. Well anyways, enjoy the story and I do not in any shape or form own Harry Potter, Narnia, or even Lord of the Rings.
Chapter 5:
Black. That was all Bambi could see. Pain. Anguish. Sadness. That was all Bambi could feel. Her body felt the pain while her mind kept whispering a sad lullaby.
Hush a bye, don't you cry.
Go to sleep my little baby.
Flashbacks of when thunderstorms raged on like armies in battle flashing across the dark night and both Galadriel and Bambi would huddle together under the covers seeking each others comfort.
When you wake you shall have, all the pretty little ponies.
Black and bays, dapples and grays.
All the pretty little ponies.
Scenes of Galadriel and Bambi riding ponies through meadows while the older elves watched over them. The laughter, joy, and sisterly love that knew no bounds in Galadriel's and Bambi's relationship.
Hush a bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep my little baby.
Flashes of Bambi hugging Aslan, then Aslan showing Bambi the beauty of the forest, showing her the meaning in each and every life.
Hush a bye, don't you cry
Go to sleep my little baby.
Memories of laying under the stars, beautiful fairies the size of her thumb dancing around under the moonlight to celtic music.
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little ponies.
The look of pure anguish and pain on Galadriel's face flashed in Bambi's mind, then when Galadriel's voice screamed her name in enough agony to break the heart of the coldest person.
Bambi could feel tears streaming down her fair child like face and sobs escaping her full rose red lips. Faintly she could hear the voice of her Grandpa Albus echo through her mind.
"Hush my little Bambi, everything is going to be okay, you are safe at the Hogwarts infirmary."
More sobs tore through Bambi's chest, tears running faster down her cheeks. She could hear her own voice's anguished cry calling out for Galadriel.
"Sissy! I want my sissy! Please! I'm sorry sissy I love you please don't hate me! PLEASE!"
Bambi screamed through her sobs, her chest heaving hysterically.
"Please! Just kill me! I need sissy! I can't live without her!" Bambi hysterically screamed through her tears.
"Bambi! My morning star you must calm down! Your life has meaning Bambi! Don't fade away because she is gone. Mourn yes, but she will always live in you." Her Grandpa Albus' voice rang through her ears.
Bambi calmed but she could still feel the tears streaming down her face. Bambi sniffled, uneven breaths heaving through her chest.
"Now my morning star I need you to open your eyes, but don't over work yourself." Grandpa Albus' soothing voice rang.
Slowly Bambi opened her eyes, her vision blurring but cleared as the seconds ticked by. When her vision cleared up she saw the concerned but kind face of her Grandpa Albus.
"Now my morning star, remember your shine is bright until the hope leaves your eyes. The hope of the people rest inside their beloved queen my dear." Grandpa Albus smiled with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
Bambi smiled sadly "What use is a queen if she isn't there to protect her people?"
Grandpa Albus smiled "you can't always be there morning star, but when you are needed Aslan will show you the way."
Bambi nodded and looked and the floor whispering sadly "Will I ever see my beloved sister ever again Grandpa Albus?"
Grandpa Albus grabbed her hand rubbing it soothingly "I believe my little morning star that you will see her again, as Aslan told you, things never happen the same way twice my dear."
Bambi smiled but then frowned "Does this mean that I am back to being Anastasia Potter?"
Grandpa Albus chuckled "My dear, you have always been Anastasia Potter, you just happened to be known of a different name at the time." He pulled out a bag from his pocket in his galaxy robe "Lemon Drop?"
Bambi, now Anastasia laughed " Don't mind if I do!" She happily enjoyed the taste of the Lemon Drop, scrunching up her nose a bit when the taste got sour.
"Now my dear off we must go, for I believe that the staff has been waiting to give a, shall we say, surprise party for the coming of our morning star." His eyes twinkled mischievously.
Anastasia laughed merrily shaking her head "You forgot that it was supposed to be kept a surprise didn't you?"
Grandpa Albus got up and started to walk towards the door, Anastasia in tow "Now my dear if your acting skills are up to par I believe I will be able to see the next Hogwarts term."
Anastasia's joyful laughter rang out in the Hogwarts' halls as she skipped ahead with her Grandpa Albus in tow.
September 1:
Anastasia stood behind the doorway hidden listening in on her family's conversation. She knows it is rude to eavesdrop but she couldn't help but listen to the conversation that was going on and wishing that for once she could be apart of it. To at least feel somewhat apart of the family she hid behind the doorway, hugging her knees to her chest and laying her head against the wall.
"I can't believe it! My baby boy is going to Hogwarts this year!" her mother cried.
"That's my boy! Soon every female at Hogwarts is going to be begging for your attention! Just like your old man!" her father proudly said. "Ouch! Lily! Oh fine, well make sure you keep up with your studies also."
"I'll be fine Dad! I am the boy who lived! How could I not pass my classes or have a ton of friends?" her brother cockily stated.
Anastasia frowned, tuning out the conversation from her head a bit. Should her brother really be going in with that attitude? Maybe I should give him advice so that he won't have such a hard time! He might even notice me! We could be a happy family like before all this happened! Anastasia thought happily. She nodded firmly, determination burning like emerald flames in her eyes. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her mother say that it was almost time to go.
Anastasia raced upstairs determined to make it on time so that her plan could go into action. Packing everything in a never ending bag that had elven beads she got from Galadriel for her hundredth birthday. Checking that she had everything and nothing was out of place in her room in the attic, she put the bag on like a messenger bag, grabbed some floo from the cup on the side, ran under the fireplace and shouted "Albus Dumbledore's office Hogwarts Lemon Drops!"
Quick as a flash she felt that familiar knot in her stomach she closed her eyes as it pulled her in different directions until finally she felt solid ground underneath her feet. Opening her eyes she quickly stepped away from the fireplace and into the office.
"Well it seems you took my advice and decided to come here rather than take the train." Anastasia smiled turning around, finding her Grandpa Albus petting Fawks.
"I decided it was better than taking the train and risk getting seen by purebloods and they decide to make a scene." Anastasia explained.
"Hm well my dear perhaps until the time being we could sit here and enjoy ourselves to some Lemon Drops and a new candy I discovered called Gummy Bears. But first we must discuss the matter of your status and the way your present yourself."
Anastasia frowned "Status? Is there something wrong with the way I present myself?"
Grandpa Albus' twinkle lost a little of its light " Every pureblood that is coming here is going to look for allies for the future should they ever need them. They can tell how good the ally is by how they walk, talk, act, their magical level, and of course their last name. That's how they also tell who to give the family name to."
Anastasia's eyes widened in realization, he took that as a sign to continue "You my dear do everything that a pureblood wants in a wife as well as an ally. That makes you a target for every pureblood in the school, I am not asking you to change Anastasia but please be careful, because if your not it could potentially end very bad. Which would get to the ministry and then would eventually get to the Dark Lord."
Anastasia stared determinedly back at her Grandpa Albus, she straightened her back holding her head high. "I will not be bullied around Grandpa Albus, if the time comes were I must act I promise to do it the way a proper queen would do. I have been trained to act with dignity and grace, no one will take that from me."
He smiled "That's how I know you are ready to start Hogwarts this year. Now if I am correct, the students will be arriving in about ten minutes, it's best if you get ready milady."
Anastasia curtsied "Indeed Grandpa Albus." With a graceful spin on her heel she walked out of the office and into her private room to get ready for the sorting ceremony.
The question being though is, will she be able to handle it?
