Alex Mercer. They call him a monster, a killer, a terrorist. He's all of these thing. Well he knows he is, but the public knows he isn't now.

Complete and Utter Nonsense Harry Potter fan fiction
Okay, I don't own any copyright what-so-ever, except for my character. I slightly changed the plot to this, so I hope you don't really mind. It's nothing major, just some minor things. Aquila Samus, a twelve year old girl enters Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but only starting on her second year. She didn't understand why until her friend, Hermione, which was her best friend even before Hogwarts, told her that her past couldn't have been as it would have seemed to be. Now, with Aquila making friends, facing her fears, making enemies, and even going to quests along with the gang, she has one thing she has to face before finding out who she really is. But the only problem is what she is. What exactly did happen? Why were secrets kept from her? And why is Draco such a pain in the arse?! Well, there's only one way to find out why. And that only thing is to keep on trying. Because one day, you may never remember it again. It would be complete and utter nonsense to even know if it was true. You can't move back, only forward to the future. And that task. . . would be nearly impossible. Started on 4/18/14 Published on 5/2/14 Completed-ish on 5/2/14Complete

He's the reason why her parents are dead, so why would she? But on the other hand, all her loved ones are behind him. Follow Emma on her twisted and shocking adventure, where she will love, be lost and down right lose her true self along the way.
