The Other Potter

Chapter 1

It was late, past midnight when I awoke suddenly. It was a cool night the spring breeze blowing through my open window, my curtain flapping in the wind. I lied back down and snuggled into my pillow when I heard it, thudding from down stairs and footsteps.

There were too many and they were too loud to belong to anybody in my family. I slipped slowly out of bed my long track pants dragging a little on the floor and my tank top did little to keep me warm but at the moment that was the least of my worries.

I was momentarily happy I was wearing black since it helped me slip undetected out of my door and through the door across the hall, my wand in hand; ready to defend myself in an instant.

I slipped inside the room as I saw shadows creeping up the stairs. I sneaked over to my older sister Casey's bed and placed my hand over her mouth to wake her up.

She screamed but luckily my hand muffled the sound and she glared at me before hissing what my problem was.

I whispered that somebody was in the house and Casey grabbed her wand off her dresser and we stated still as possible as we saw shadowy figure creep past the crack in the nearly closed door.

Our eyes were wide with fear as we watched the figures make their way towards our parent's room.

I followed Casey as she quietly crept into the hall we were about to run in after them when we heard our mother screaming, screaming for us to run and then we heard the Killing curse cast and my mother's voice stopped mid scream.

 I screamed in shock and Casey grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the stairs. We didn't even make it three steps when we heard the thudding of footsteps running up the stairs.

We quickly altered our route and barrelled through my room. I slammed the door behind me as Casey threw the window open. We were on the second floor but she didn't hesitate, Casey dropped to the ground and I flung my legs over the ledge as a curse blew apart my bedroom door. I turned as I dropped, I couldn't see his face, but I could see his eyes. I would never forget those eyes.

I dropped to the ground with a thud and I fell and rolled a little before Casey was grabbing my arm and hauling me to my feet.

I could hear the footsteps of our pursuers chasing after us, shouting out stunning spells thankfully missing every time.

we ran into a nearby park and through the woods surrounding it, the woods were dark we had played in them often as little kids so we continued in further deeper hoping to lose the people chasing us.

The sticks and vines hurt my feet and I stumbled a few times but kept running. The woods led to another park and a lake i thought we were safe. The woods were thick and I would take and unbelievably good tracker to tack us through them.

I was wrong, they had a good tracker. Fenrir Greyback had followed us and when we stopped running to catch our breath, he took his chance and jumped taking down Casey and biting her.

"NO" I screamed in distress. "REDUCTO" I shouted at the ware wolf he simply dodged the curse and dropped Casey's body to the ground with a sickening thud, she was dead.

He was ready to spring on me and I could see the violent look in his eyes pure evil, I had a curse at the tip of my tongue but before I could even open my mouth he slashed his paw at my arm flinging my wand out of my hand and sending it sailing through the air, landing far out of my reach.

I turned my head quickly from my wand back to the monster in front of me. Terrified, I took a step back calculating how I could ever get away or at least get to my wand.

The ware wolf seemed to be smirking, he could smell my fear. Everything happened so fast I didn't even realize what was going on, suddenly he rushed towards me, but that was when the Aura's came.
