I love Harry Potter but I have always been afraid to write a fanfic on it because I truly do not want to ruin such an amazing piece of work. But I've been dying to write a story like this so here goes nothing. Please review and tell me what you think.
-True Goddess
Prologue
It was a rather dark and rainy night when Nigel Volger left work. He had a long day and just wanted to get home to see his wife and lovely little girl Cecilia. She had just turned four yesterday, and he had forgotten her birthday present in his office. But all is well now, he has found it. A silver pendant embedded with sapphires the very same color of her eyes. He was so proud of the beautiful piece of jewelry that he had found.
He got into his car and drove to his modest home. It was a nice neighborhood in a quiet town, where the children usually played outside until late. But not on that night, it was so dark outside it seemed as if it were late night rather than five o'clock in the evening.
He pulled into his driveway and parked the car. He looked at his house and found it odd that the lights were off. He shrugged not letting his thoughts get to him and entered his home.
It was rather dark inside the house, the only light was illuminating from the first room to the right upstairs, Cecilia's room. He ran up the stairs frightened, something awful must have happened to his wife Alexandria and his sweet daughter. The more he thought along those lines the faster he ran.
He saw the door of his daughters room opened. A hooded woman was holding her to her chest pressing a strange looking stick on his daughter's neck. His wife was on the floor unconscious, her beautiful face pale, all the life in it drained.
"Daddy."
His daughter said in fear. He needed to be brave for his daughter, he wouldn't let this woman harm her.
He stepped closer and the hooded woman held the wand harder to the child's neck.
"Make another move and she is dead."
He stopped and made an apologetic gesture.
"Please spare my daughter's life, she has done nothing wrong."
He could see the woman's smile from under her hood.
"Oh I know Nigel, she has indeed done nothing wrong but you have, you tainted Alexandria's pure blood with your muggle blood." She spit at Nigel.
He looked shocked. His wife had told him about her family years ago, he had forgotten about it completely. He had almost forgotten about the world in which she had come from.
He wondered who the woman was, and why she cared. It wasn't her business whom Alexandria married, they called her a squib for goodness sake. They thought her below them.
"My wife never achieved magical abilities, she was a squib as you people call her. We have nothing to offer you, leave our daughter out of this."
He pleaded the woman. Her smile only grew at his desperation.
"I never thought you would know so much. Nigel, you don't belong in Cecilia's life. She needs to be treated as a true pure-blood should be."
The woman sneered. He stood his ground his face hard.
"My daughter has no magic."
Nigel fired back, the woman smiled.
"Is that so?"
She fired her wand opening the window and threw Cecilia out of it.
"NO!"
Nigel screamed, tears in his eyes. He stuck his head out of the window and looked down shocked to see his daughter safely on the ground.
"Daddy! Daddy I'm okay."
He took in a deep breath in relief.
The front door opened and footsteps came upstairs. Cecilia ran into her father's arms and he held her to him.
"My sweet girl."
He said kissing her hair.
The woman laughed and pointed her wand at him.
"Don't you see Nigel, she will never fit into this world. She will always be an outcast, do you want your daughter to suffer? I shall protect her and Alexandria."
She took off her hood revealing her identity.
"Why? Please don't do this, don't take me away from my daughter."
He said pushing Cecilia behind him.
She smiled.
" AVADA KEDAVRA!"
She yelled pointing her wand at his chest, he crumpled to the floor and the woman disappeared from the room.
"DADDY!"
Cecilia yelled falling to her knees and sobbed into her father's chest. She felt something hard in his breast pocket. She took out a small box addressed to her, in her father's neat print.
In the box was a single piece of paper addressed to the child. Cecilia was exceptionally smart for her age and knew how to read.
Dear Celia,
Happy Birthday my sweet little girl. I know you thought I forgot about you, but I did not. This pendant belonged to your grandmother, it is rather old and it may be a little long for you but you will grow into it. The sapphires match your eyes and I thought of you instantly. I truly hope you have a happy birthday.
~Love, your father
She took the pendant from the box and placed it onto her neck. It indeed was beautiful and matched her tear-filled eyes perfectly.
Cecilia promised herself something. She would never let herself feel so weak, and helpless again. The next time something or someone threatened the people dear to her. She will do anything it takes to fight them, until she can guarantee their safety.
