To be honest, this is my first story and judging by other fan fictions I've read, I guess I need to say, that J K Rowling owns this story? I only own Ellie Aldern :) The story is kind of slow but it picks up by chapter 5, the first 4 chapters lead to getting to know Ellie and her past ect ect ect, so please stick with it! :) thank you for reading

The Last Aldern

Prologue

1978 ~

"You might want to be careful Aldern; you're not very well liked at the moment"

"If you're trying to threaten me," she leant towards the boy and lowered her voice to a whisper "It's not working very well, I'm not scared of you"

"Yeah you are." He stood up and strolled towards the door "it's dangerous at the moment; Voldemort, the war, soon you won't have Hogwarts protecting you" his voice was harsh, "you don't want to go making enemies, especially now, when you don't have Sirius to defend you anymore." He turned back and smiled nastily, his grin dangerous and disturbing, "He hates you more than anyone."

Chapter 1: Saying goodbye

1971 ~

"Mum! I know, I know! I'll write, I promise"

"Oh Ellie, we're going to miss-"

"Miss me, yes I know" the small girl laughed "you've only mentioned it about 50 times!"

"Don't be cheeky" chuckled the man, presumably her father; however the brown haired girl didn't bear a resemblance to the 2 middle aged muggles standing before her.

She had waist length curly brown hair. They had scruffy blond hair. She had great big brown glittering eyes which held a slight charming quality and youthfulness. Their eyes showed fear and stress. They were obviously worried about sending their daughter away to a school for magic.

"Ellie, dear, how did that professor say you got onto –"

"Platform 9 3/4? I don't remember" Ellie glanced around at the sign for platform 9 and for platform 10, but no platform for 9 3/4, her eyebrows knitted as she tugged the ticket from her father's hands "must be somewhere…"

"Maybe…" Mrs Jaspers began but was cut short when a grand family waltzed over to the barriers between the 2 platforms, Mr Jaspers, concerned with the case on Ellie's trolley didn't look up, however this family caught the attention of the girl. They looked so regal, so powerful. So beautiful. The mother of the family glanced around with a look of disgust and walked into the wall. The wall? Ellie, made to shout out but the woman disappeared, they must be magical, Ellie thought, they must be! Unable to contain her happiness, she turned to her mother

"Mum, did you see that?" Ellie asked eagerly, receiving a look of surprise on the middle aged Mrs Jaspers

"Well, erm, I guess that's how you – er - get onto the platform. I assume, they look… magical" she whispered the last word and chuckled then stooped low to squeeze her daughter "go on, it's nearly 11"

This was real. Really very real, and now, just now, when she let go of her mother did she realise she was scared. She was going to miss them, her mum and dad, the only people that she could completely love and trust, she grabbed at her father, burying her face into his stomach "I love you" she sniffed

"Ahh, Ellie belly, we're going to miss you. I love you so much sweetie, but make sure you have fun, make friends. And study, don't get in too much trouble…and no boyfriends!" this caused the 3 to explode into giggles…

"oh shhh!" she smiled her delicate sweet smile and pulled her trolley from her fathers grip, and before turning to walk at the wall, waved and cheekily stuck out her tongue then mouthed 'I love you' before turning and jogging and disappearing through the wall.

A/N: Not the best, but it is my first story, it does get better, I promise :) opinions welcome :)
