Hello Lovelies!
The second chapter to the Daughter of an Alchemist. Hopefully you enjoy this as much as the first chapter. It is a work in progress, I am finding that I am loving creating stories out of the time lines that don't corispond with the time line of Harry Potter as much as my very first HP Fan Fic. Again I do not own Harry Potter, that honor belongs to JKRowling.
Enjoy
As they passed through the wall from Muggle London onto the Platform, they where met with the steam from the large engine of the Hogwarts Express. Issac was met with the nostalgic of the sound and smells from when he attended school. He felt his daughter grab on to the sleeve of his robes as he pushed the trolley with her belongings. Cardia was the spitting image of her mother, Onyx Black hair, a slight dusting of freckles across her nose, she had large owl like eyes that took in everything she looked at when she experienced new things, but the one feature she got from his own family was the bright teal green eyes. Many thought her eyes looked like jewels, that sparkled in the light.
It was moments like this he wished that magic could bring those lost to them back to life to see things like their child growing up. Emilia was killed when she was caught in an attack that Grindlewald's followers had orchestrated when she was in Pairs with a few of her old class mates from school. Emilia was trying to same a child that was about to be killed. From the report, she pushed the child out of the way and was killed instead. Getting the news was heartbreaking, as just a year before his own parents passed from Dragon Pox that they contracted.
Watching as his daughter's face lite up at watching those around her pass, run, or politely ask to get by. He knew his daughter was special from the moment that he witnessed her summoning a book accidentally to her when she got bored of playing with the dolls her aunt got her when she was only 3 years old. From that moment, Issac nurtured his daughters thirst for learning. As once she had the book, she walked over to his desk and presented the book to him. He laughed at the book she had summoned, which happened to be Hogwarts, History. Which to this day, was her favorite book.
Looking around he spotted Maximus Malfoy and his wife, Camille Chanel ne Malfoy. Both sending off their own 11 year old son, Abraxus Malfoy; who his daughter when she met the young heir of the Malfoy family dumped her tea over the blond boys head over something he said. That same day she smashed her tea cake in the face of Talon Parkinson, son of Primrose and Theon Parkinson. Issac noticed that Cardia got along with some of the children of those he went to school with like the son of Fleamont Potter, the Pollex Black, and Septimus Weasley's son. She was an interesting child, he didn't understand his daughters strange taste in friends. His Mother-in-law wasn't pleased when his daughter had what they call the tea incident at the Malfoy's summer party. She nearly had a conniption fit at he wasn't doing what he was supposed to as a single father for his daughter.
Hearing the dong of the platform's clock, he looked at Cardia.
"Let's find you a compartment, little imp." He spoke with a smile.
"I'm not an imp daddy." She huffed.
"Oh, contra, you little one are an imp."
"It's not my fault that Malfoy is a bully, he likes to pick on my eyes. So I decided that since he liked them so much that he should have big green eyes too." She countered.
"That my daughter is why you are an Imp." He chuckled.
"Are not."
"Are too."
Small arguments like this happened mainly when Issac called his daughter an Imp. Her Uncle also thought of her as such as he taught her a few small spells that where good for a laugh. Neither Alex or he thought that she would do something at the Nott's Summer Solstice celebration. But the moment that young Abraxus decided to say something about her eyes again, she gave him large Lizard eyes. It was like Cardia and Abraxus where Oil and Water, or the opposite sides of what Muggles call a magnet. They seemed to bring out the worst in each other when they where in each others presence.
After the tea incident, Abraxus Malfoy, Talon Parkinson, and Thanos Nott seaked Cardia out to pick on her. Issac knew the moment that his daughter came to him at a gathering that something had happened and he would look to see the damage that his daughter had conflicted on the three heirs. One time she gave them neon hair, another time she gave them animal ears and tails, and at a Christmas celebration she turned them into a muggles version of an elf that helped Santa. Cardia was creative with her magic even accidental.
Alex always joked after telling Issac what the other families thought of Cardia's magical accidents, that his niece was making sure that she wouldn't get paired with a wizard that would take advantage of her, and that she would need a wizard that's just as talented as her. Issac wasn't thrilled when he received marriage contracts from families wishing to make a contract between their family and his.
As soon as Issac had his daughter comfortably situated in a compartment, her trunk stashed away. Cardia was already curled on a bench reading the book he just got her, Alchemy, the beginning. He also noticed the deer stuffy that she had named Harry tucked into her shoulder bag settled next to her. Issac kissed her fore head, and asked her to write after the sorting. Alex and he had a bet going on between them, Issac believed she would be sorted into Ravenclaw, and Alex thought with all her creative magic and pranking the three boys she may end up in Gryffindor, breaking both families house traditions. Issac gave the train one last glance hoping that his daughter would have a fun first year.
With the day that the young Heiress has had, she wanted to spend the ride to Hogwarts alone and in quiet. She knew she would have to deal with the boys that teased and picked on her all year in close proxy. Alphrad, Charlus, and Phineas where nice to her, but she felt that the four of them would be separated from each other when the sorting happened. She wasn't sure where she would end up, but she hoped that she wouldn't have to spend time with Malfoy, Parkinson or Nott. She always felt the need to defend those who weren't from a pure family. Cardia didn't know where that came from, or where some of the weird things she thought came from either.
There where times that she would wake up with a headache after dreaming but she never remembered what she dreamed about. But when Malfoy was telling the group of other pure blood children about Muggles, he was mean and saying that he wanted to get ride of them all. That's why she dumped her tea on his head, as Malfoy gapped like a fish out of water, Parkinson started to agree and that's when her cake made contact with his face. The others laughed at the two boys, causing their incident to be noticed by Lady Malfoy, who dotted over her son, asking who had don't this to be sweet baby boy. When Malfoy ratted her out, Lady Malfoy grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the other children and to her father. Yelling dramatically that the Heiress of the Beckford family had no manners for polite society. That was a night that her Gram Prince had nearly taken her from her father.
While Cardia was contemplating her house and things she could stand and things she wouldn't stand. She hadn't noticed the door of her compartment open and close. A boy with dark hair, and light blue eyes took a seat opposite of her. The boy pulled her out of her thoughts when he asked about her book.
"My father is and Alchemist, so he thought I would enjoy it." She spoke, looking over the top of the tomb.
"So you grew up in the magical world?" He asked.
"I have, but there are those that think I don't fit in."
"I probably wont either." He mumbled.
"Oh, where are my manners, I'm Cardia Beckford, and you are?" Cardia introduced herself with her had stretched out to him.
"I'm Tom Riddle." Tom spoke taking her hand and gently shaking it.
"Pleasure."
