The Hogwarts Royal (A Harry Potter Love story) #Wattys2015

The Entire Story Is In This Part

I'm Alexia, and this is my story.

PROLOGUE

A woman with red hair and grey eyes ran and ran, her one year old daughter in her arms. The woman stopped at a dead end and held the infant close. "Alex," she whispered. "Momma loves you. I won't let things end this way." A pale man with red eyes and slits for nostrils laughed from in front of them.

"I'm sorry, but there's no way out of it," the man said with a falsely apologetic smile.

"Please, my Lord, she's only a child!" The woman held Alex even closer.

"A child that knows too much," he responded in his cold, high voice.

"She won't be able to remember any of this!" She shouted with tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, but you know too much. You are a loyal servant, so I shall spare you. The child, however, will not receive mercy," he said. "Avada Kedavra!" He shouted, wand to Alex. Alex's mother spun around, attempting to apparate, but the curse hit her. She fell to the ground, child still in her lifeless arms. "Oh, what a pity," the man chuckled and used his foot to push her aside. He had full view of Alex now. He repeated the curse and a green light hit the child. Alex only stared as the green became yellow once it hit her. The pale man was already gone and only two things signaled he'd ever been there: Alex's fallen mother, and the star shaped scar in the center of the child's forehead.

CHAPTER ONE: ACCIDENT AT THE ZOO .

"Wake up, you lumps! We're going to the zoo!" Dudley, Harry's ridiculous cousin, stomped down the stairs. Harry and I share a room, luckily neither of us are claustrophobic! Harry got up, put his glasses on, and walked to the cupboard door. Dudley shoved him back in and slammed the door in his face. I don't really understand Dudley. He wants us out then he shoves us back in?! Who does that?

"I don't understand either," Harry rubbed his head. I gave him a confused look. "You were thinking out loud," he smirked. I smiled with a bit of a blush; I never think out loud! Harry smirked and left the "room" so I could get dressed. I locked the door behind him. I slipped off my green tank top and black shorts and folded them onto my makeshift bed. I pulled out my trunk from under his bed and pulled out my clothes. I dressed in a fitted white top with a V-neck, a black tank top underneath, and denim capris. It's the middle of summer and we're going to a zoo! What do you expect me to wear? My hair was golden blond today as I brushed it and put it up in a high ponytail. I left a few strands hang in my face and put my glasses on. They're wire rimmed and rectangular tan frames. I smiled and brushed my teeth quickly. I washed my face and rushed to the kitchen. Five minutes! That's a record!

"Where's my bacon?" Vernon snarled at me. It was Harry's turn to cook and my turn to serve.

"Sorry, sir," I grimaced as I handed the round man a plate of turkey bacon.

"Bring my coffee, girl!" He ordered.

"Yes, sir," I handed Vernon a mug full of scorching coffee. "Careful, it's a bit—" I started. He took a sip, ignoring me, and spat it on the floor while fanning himself. "Hot," I finished. He stared at me with cold, dead eyes and his face went purple. Luckily, Petunia likes me.

"Calm down, Vernon. Alex did try to warn you," she smiled at me. I nodded and knelt down to clean up the stain on the rug. I scrubbed for ten minutes to no avail so I gave up. I am going to die. Vernon will kill me. I thought as I laid back on the floor. I sighed angrily and sat back up. The stain was gone! I smiled and pumped the air, much to Harry's amusement.

Dudley came stomping in. "How many are there?" He demanded, referring to his presents. He's a greedy pig, if you ask me. He's lucky he gets anything at all! Harry and I only get gifts from each other, but that's more than enough for us!
