The Dark Lords Daughter

Chapter - 1

!Cussing!

Another day another head banging stupid day listening to my parents bicker over nothing. When I say nothing I mean stupid subjects like. Who gets more space on the couch or how much air the other is breathing. Stupid right? It's been getting worse over this past year. Tomorrow's my 11th Birthday, August 4th! I doubt they even remembered. They've always been really caring towards me, but seem to forget my most important day... My birthday!

I walk out of my bedroom and into the bathroom still half asleep when my Dad comes thundering in pushing me out shutting the door behind him. Great I'm pretty sure between both you and I we know what he's about to go and do. I edge my way down the stars to the guest bathroom.

"Get out bitch you've been in there for 30 minutes" That's my older brother Josh as you can tell by his name he's annoying. "I'll be out when I'm done" I responded annoyed. He goes to boarding school in Greece somewhere so he's never really around, but when he is he's a pain in the butt. Josh's 17 and studying to become a music producer. Not really my forte if I have to be honest with you. I don't really know what I like. I've always been really drawn to snakes though! I really want one as a pet. My parents are highly against it. It sucks!

~ Tme Skip to later that night ~

"So Parents and Brother. Just so everyone knows it's my 11th tomorrow"
I sit down at the table tapping my fingers nervously. I stopped telling them it was my birthday after I turned 8. They all just stare blankly at me with no expression. Mum coughs and nudges Dad. Dad gives a stern look back to Mum. "Can you two stop fighting for once it's going to drive me fucking insaine" my older brother spoke up. I mean someone had to say it. At least it didn't have to be me.

"Bella darling, have you put any thought into what you're wanting to study for when you get to high school?" Mother says changing the subject awkwardly. "Mother as I have told you before I'm 10 and tomorrow 11. I still have plenty of time to decide" I give an awkward smile. Knowing they want me to go into the music industry just like my annoying brother. My parents take a quick glance at each other before proceeding to eat.

After dinner I did my chores and went up into my room for some peace and quiet. Father's blasting his music again. I don't mind it 95 percent of the time. Right now I'm in the 5 percent. Right as I shut my door. I felt a cold sensation over my body followed by a shiver. Like that feeling you get when you drive over or past roadkill. As my Mother likes to say "Someone just crawled over my grave" well yeah that's the feeling I got. I never get them randomly, that's so weird. "I'm sure it's nothing" I reassure myself while climbing into bed, and falling asleep almost instantly.

~ In the Morning ~

I sit up in bed "that's odd" I say out loud I can't hear my parents fighting. Maybe they took Josh's advice and stopped. It feels weird... A good weird though. I check my phone for the time. 9:30am that's odd they're normally awake maybe they've slept in for once. I stepped out of my room and the hallway was bare. I ran around the house frantically, nothing. The only thing that's left is all my stuff, and it's still in the same place. They can't just leave me can they? They're playing a prank on me... yes that's it a prank! It's my birthday, maybe everythings in the basement. I ran into the basement... nothing!

I went to look out the window. No cars in the driveway? But there's mail  on the table addressed to my name. It had sealing wax on the back of it with a pretty neat looking logo. I tear it open and proceed to start reading it out loud.

Dear,   Miss. Maddon

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

I dropped the piece of paper on the floor. Wizard? Witch? This has got to be my parents messing with me. They're just fairy tales in a children's book... right?  I went to pick up the paper again and I heard a loud thud on the door followed by murmuring between two people. I slowly approached the door and opened it. There stood an old guy with silver hair and this really tall guy. Who looked like a giant. "Who are you?" I asked, trying no to come out as scared.
