♧ Chapter 1 ♧

Villagers of Little Hangleton still called it The Riddle House, even though it had been years since the family lived there. Half a century ago, a servant found all three Riddles dead.

A dream, or nightmare in this case, never felt this real and terrifying. The young girl at Number 4 Private Drive awoke in a sweat, her icy orbs shining and wide; she leaped out of her bed to her cousin's beside, "C'mon Harry, wake up" she hissed, "For Merlin's sake Harry Potter wake up!" And with a gasp, he woke.

You're probably wondering, 'Who are these kids?' and 'Whats wrong with them?'
The young, scrawny, black haired boy was Harry Potter and the girl is his cousin, Audrey, however they're not normal children. Harry and Audrey are a wizard and witch, they both attend a magical school called Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry; now it is the Summer holidays. Harry woke, his eyes darted in the darkness of their room, landing on the girl next to him. "The dream" he paused, "Did you-"
"Yep. I saw the dream too" she sighed, secretly frightened at what she'd witnessed in Harry's head; she fell back onto her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, "I'm absolutely shattered"
"Then go back to sleep pinky" he moaned, "Nothings stopping you"
"Actually you are. If I go to sleep you'll do too and then, resume nightmare 101." Harry couldn't argue, he knew she was right; Audrey was never wrong about most things. Last year, Audrey joined Hogwarts school and was thrown through the wringer of surprises, her mother was in fact her 'Adoptive mother's' sister and she was half demon. Yes, Demon.

Throughout the duration of the Summer, Audrey had received many letters from the Weasleys, Hermione, a few from Nicholas Malfoy and her favourite twins sisters Liza and Rochelle. She'd also received letters from her mother's Fiancé and Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black. Over the summer, she set out goals to achieve: getting ahead on Homework, researching her 'Father' and dying her hair? Once a brilliant mix of long ginger and chestnut brown, now rose, shoulder length, untameable locks. "Hey, look what's coming-" Audrey pointed towards a flying object, silhouetted by the moon still shining, 'Incoming!' Hedwig the Owl swooped into their room, a bloody mouse in her beak to show her friends. "That's... Interesting Hedwig- good girl!" Audrey chuckled, handing her a treat and taking it gladly.

While the sun began to peak over the Surrey suburbs, Audrey and Harry lay silently, inaudible; glancing each other's way once in a while, Audreys pink hair shone and gleaned in the sunlight and her eyes were swimming with conversation like a party with too much gossip. "Harry" she whispered, catching his attention,
"You should tell Snuffles what's going on"
"Nothing's wro- Ah!" He winced clutching his forehead, "Really? Nothing's wrong?" She heaved, "Harry, you need to tell him your scars hurting. And about the dream" he dismissed it completely, not wanting to except help from anyone, "Wanna get some breakfast?" he asked, walking down into the Dursley's kitchen.

Sometime after midday, Audrey sat in the Dursleys living room reading a book she'd gotten from the muggle library, stories of Incubus' radiated from it's pages. Harry was feet away being tormented by Dudley, Harry knew how to stand up for himself; but not against what was storming in their direction. Faster than he should, Vernon Dursley came bounding into the living room, his face a vision of pure horror; "You two-" he growled, a sausage-like finger pointed at both magical children, "Explain this"

Dear Harry and Audrey,
                                               Dad got tickets to The Quidditch World Cup this week, and he said that he could take you guys and Hermione.
