Fallen Star (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 1: The night of the broken lamp...

(Soundtrack: track 1: Centuries by Fall Out Boy) 

Hello dear Muggles. How are you? I'm fine thanks.
Other than the fact that MY LIFE IS THE DEFINITION OF UNFORTUNATE!
Sorry. I need to pull myself together...okay I'm ready.
It's been three months sitting alone at the orphanage doing nothing but watch the owner drink and beat me.
My sister came back from Russia where she attends college and took me out to eat but that was it.
  My name is Matilda Watson and I am in no way related to Sherlock's assistant if that's what your thinking.
Anyways, my birthday is September the twenty-third, just to let you know. And I'm entering my third year at Hogwarts.
My sister, Coraline, is the only one who knows about Hogwarts and the owner of the orphanage is too drunk to even
care. Of course there are other girls at the orphanage. The oldest is fifteen and acts like she doesn't give a hang about anything. She constantly has earphones in her CD player and wears black all the time. Don't get me wrong, she's not a bad girl, she doesn't do anything wrong. She doesn't even talk though.
Then there's me and then six other girls younger than me who all think I go to a boarding school.
I would totally tell you more about me but I just heard a crash downstairs.....

I ran downstairs as fast as I could to see the two four year old Johnson twins crying over a broken lamp.....Miss Truffles favorite lamp. She's the owner of the orphanage.
None of the other kids have ever been beat because me and Alex (the oldest girl I told you about) has always taken the beating for them.
I tried to soothe them by taking one on each hip and swaying so they didn't cry.
"We didn't m-mean t-t-too Mattie... I-it was a-an accident." They stuttered.
"Shhh. It's oka-"
"WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"Look. Tia take your sister to Alex's room and she'll protect you two okay. Go. Now." I told them as I sat them down and they ran down the hall.
I then turned back around and was met with a blow to the face, knocking me down.
"THAT VASE WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE QUEEN HERSELF!" A drunk and swaying Miss Truffle yelled.
"NO IT WASNT YOU FOUND IT IN THE GARBAGE! I REMEMBER, YOU OLD HAG!"
Let's just say, I got the beating I'll never forget.

I ran out of the room crying and I packed my trunk and put my Snow White kitten, Christine, in her cage. I then ran to Alex's room.
She was rocking the twins back and forth singing softly.
Once she saw me beat up and bruised all up my arms she gasped and laid them on her bed.
"Matilda! What has she done? This is getting out of hand!" She whisper yelled checking over me.
"Listen. I'm meeting some friends tomorrow but I'm taking the bus tonight to get there. I won't be back until next summer or Christmas maybe. Your going to be in charge here. If Miss Truffle touches any of these girls including you then simply call the police okay?" I asked and She nodded wiping her eyes and hugging me.
I sighed and patted her back.
"Alex. I'm going to explain something to you okay?" I asked and she nodded quickly.
"They train owls at my school to send letters to family. You know my owl, Leonardo. I'm leaving him here so if you ever need me than write a letter and send it to my school. Also, don't forget to feed him or get Natalie (9 year old of the orphanage) to feed him."
I told her an she nodded wiping her eyes again but chuckled.
  "What kind of school do you go to? A magic school?" She joked and burst out laughing as I nervously laughed along.
"Anyway I must be on my way. Goodbye." I told her and ran out, carrying Christine with me and rolling my trunk with my other hand.
I avoided Miss Truffle who was sprawled and passed out on the couch with a bottle of Vodka clutched in one hand and a belt clutched in the other. 

Hello my new friends!!
I am Cara and this is my new Harry Potter story which I have written months ago but decided against posting until finished to relieve stress...Yay!
I hope you're all excited because I know I am!
And yes there is a soundtrack because I love music and I like to think of music while I'm reading but if you don't, you can ignore the soundtracks and all....Just a thought.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story ahead!
