I was walking through the station. Thirteen and first time at Hogwarts. Fun. I found the barrier. I've heard a lot about it so it was obvious. A group of redheads were in front of me. But one stood out like a sore thumb. He had pitch black hair. I shrugged it off and, after they were through, I went through. There was a huge train and a lot of people. Some were smaller kids, some older. They were all happy, they were all with their parents, except a few that were with friends. I only had a father that can't come. I don't have a mother or friends. I passed them all, heading to the train. Some older boys were helping with trunks. With me, they stepped aside. They didn't like my cold, snake like eyes, deathly pale skin or shoulder length black hair. It must have scared them. I stood out, even here. I pulled the trunk onto the train, no one even helping. It wasn't too heavy. I took it to a compartment in the middle of the train. The compartment was empty, which was good. I went in and closed the door behind me. I put my trunk in the compartment above the seat. I sat down and looked outside. There were a lot fewer people there, most of which were parents. The train must be leaving soon. I watched as most wnt past my compartment. There was a blond boy who was with a group. He slipped away from them, obviously not liking the one girl.
He opened my compartment door. "Can I sit here?" he asked and came in, not waiting for an answer.
"Who are you?" I snarled coldly.
"Draco Malfoy, and on that note, I suggest you watch your toungue! Now, who are you?" he asked. Malfoy? Another of my fathers servants. I looked down.
"Zair. Zair Riddle." I said, smirking evilly. I glanced at him. He looked like he saw a basilisk. "What's wrong mister high and mighty? Snake got your toungue?" I taunted. He stayed quiet. I looked at him. -
Scratch the top writing, I'm changing it to something else. Finally got a bit more insipation.

Lily and James Potter. Two of the 'worlds greatest wizards!' They weren't at their home, Godric Hollow, no. They were out doing who knows what. They left theirwonderful son at home. Who else did they leave there? Their good for nothing problem daughter, as they put it. They were left with house elves. It was near midnight when the tale begins...
The door was blasted off it's hinges. Two house elves, Lerry and Cally, rushed to the door to see what it was. The last thing they saw, was a dark shadow looming over them, then a flash of light, extreme pain, and darkness. The shadow strode to the childrens' room. The door was opened, not with a blast like the other. The shadow walked in. He looked at the two cribs with interest. He looked to the shining, obviously expensive, one first. It had had a name carved in, in elegant handwriting. 'Harry James Potter' it read. He then looked to the other. It was a wooden black crib. In it, the name was a bit sloppy, and it was dirtier as well, as if the house elves weren't allowed to clean it. He stepped closer to the crib, running a pale hand over the name to make it clearer. 'Ebony Potter'. He looked in the crib. She had green eyes, the same emerald green as her brother's. The difference was, her eyes were cold and hate filled. He dark hair was looked sleek. She was different. Not like her mother in any way and the features she has of her father were still different. No matter, he can't let the Potter children live. -
He raised his wand. The infant was laying on her side, blocking her heart for a straight attack. He held the wand over her arm. "Avada Kedavra!" the man shouted. The house began falling apart at the sheer power of the spell. A piece of wood fell on the other child's head, making an odd shaped cut that would leave a scar. The girl didn't cry like her brother. The spell stopped.
The shadowed man was standing, slightly shocked as he looked at the girl. She stared back with cold Avada green eyes. On her arm was a scar that resembled a skull with a snake coming from it's mouth. He started speaking to the girl. "I am the Dark Lord Voldemort. You are different. We will meet again." With that said, he dissapeared. A baby's cry filled the crumbling house. Harry James Potter, The Boy Who Lived, was crying. The man never touched him. His sister survived, not him. He was weak.
Soon, Lily and James Potter returned to their home. They immediately ran inside, to the children's room. They held their son, ignoring their daughter once more. They were cheering about him fulfilling a prophecy. Ebony was the trouble child. They thought she just got in the way. She was a burden to them.
*~*~*~*
Years passed by for the Potters. The Dark Lord was gone, they were all happy. All except one. Ebony Potter, five year old trouble child. She looked different from the others now. Her once emerald green eyes were now Avada green. Her eyes were cold. There was no trace of happiness in them. Her once tan skin was now extremely pale. Now, the adventure starts...
~~Ebony POV~~
I was sitting outside. My parents were off doing who knows what with their precious Boy Who Lived. Pathetic if you ask me. -

I'll buy all my stuff after my birthday, after all, it was only a week. But till then, I need to get rib of the wand I've been using. Let's hope all goes well.
*~*~*~*
The week flew by, but a week turned to two. I couldn't go for a week because of the rush to buy school supplies. The week after it was still busy, but not as much. I was walking down Diagon Alley, on my way to Madame Malkin's. I finally managed to push through the crowd to the robe shop. I got in just as a crowd came out. "Ah, another first year! Come here, to a stool!" a cheerful woman said. I complied and went to the back, where a blond boy was, another woman busy with his robe. I climbed onto a stool as the woman pulled a robe over my head. The boy looked at me. "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" the boy stated proudly. Malfoy? Oh yes, my parents never liked them. 'Death Eaters, the whole lot of them!' Lily always said. "I'm Ebony" I stated simply. "Ebony who?" he asked. "Potter" I spat with anger. "Oh, another one? You're brother was just in here. Mudbloods, the whole lot of you!" he sneered.
I glared daggers at him. "He is not my brother! Nor is Lily my mother or James my father! They decided that when they disowned me!" I spat. Draco looked at me in disbelief. "You hate them, don't you?" he asked. "You're done dear!" the lady told me. I quickly pulled off the robe and went to the front with the lady. I paid for the robes and went to Draco. "Yes, I hate those filthy mudbloods! I made that clear long ago." I snarled. "You might be a Potter, but you don't seem half bad." he said suddenly, as he got off the stool and payed. "I plan on being a Slytherin, not a Griffindor." I stated, walking out. "Hey Malfoy, where are your parents?" I asked suddenly.
"They went to get their own things. I'm supposed to find them at the book store after I get my wand and all the other things on the list. So far I've only got the robes." he said sheepishly. "I say wands then the other stuff. It'll be faster." I started walking to Olivanders, Draco in tow. We went in, a bell sounding somewhere in the shop. Draco went first. After a few wands he found one that was a perfect fit. It was hawthorn, had a unicorn hair core, 10 inches and was 'reasonably pliant'.
Next it was my turn. We went through dozens of boxes, but none that fit. I spotted a wand of the table. "Let me try that one." I said, pointing to it. "It is reserved for The Boy Who Lived." he muttered. "That phony" I said, snorting. "Hand me the wand Olivander." I commanded harshly. This time, he complied. He took the box and opened it. Inside was a black wand. "Ebony, phoenix feather core, 11 inches, nice and supple." he said, staring at it in wonder. He carefully handed it to me. I felt a sudden heat run through me. It was warm and cold at the same time. I pointed the wand at a shelf and flicked the wand. Wands came flying out, seeming to fly above us. Olivander snatched the wand back and put it in the box. "Curious, how curious indeed..." he mumbled. "The phoenix who gave the feather for this wand, gave another feather, just one more. It's brother is wielded by he who must not be named." he mumbled, handing my the box. I held it tightly. I walked out, knowing that Draco was following closely. We went to get the rest of our shopping. Next, it was the books. Draco and I were talking about the houses and our skills, but we stayed away from family. We got to the store and went in. A man and a woman were just paying books. Draco hid behind a shelf as I went to get my books. It was quick and easy, as books for first years were already together. All the books cost a few galleons, but not that much. The pair were waiting for someone. I went over to the shelf where Draco was hiding. The pair had a clear view of me.
"Draco, I've got my books. It looks like your parents are getting tired of waiting." I said, smirking slightly. He groaned and came out. "Why did you have to do that? I wanted to see how long it took them!" he grumbled as we walked to his parents. "Draco, who is this?" The man asked. "This is Ebony." he stated. I looked his father in the eye. "Ebony Potter. And before you say anything, they aren't my family as far as I'm concerned. Not before they abandoned me, not now." I said, seeing his reaction in a split second. Then, the Potters walked in. "I'll be right back." I snarled, walking to the Potter's. Surprisingly, Harry wasn't with them.
"Lily, do you remember my words?" I asked, walking up to them. They looked like they'd just seen a ghost. "That's right, mudblood. I'm alive. I'm still going to kill you. I'm going to make you suffer, like I suffered!" I snarled as she went pale. She had heard about the orphanage and a child killing half the others in a Death Eater raid. James said nothing, in clear shock. "That's right Potters, I survived that attack. I even drew blood that day. I will have my revenge in more ways than one." I snarled, turning and walking out the door.
There was one thing I still needed. A pet. I went to the shop. There were only toads and a few cats still there. No owls. I went through the shop, stopping at the snakes. There were a lot of them. The was a Gaboon Viper, a Boa Constrictor, an Ashwinder, a Black Mamba, and so many others. One particular snake caught my eye. It was about five feet long and blakc. At the top, the scales seemed to suck the light from the air. At the bottom it was dark red, like blood. The eyes were Avada green, much like my own. I stared at it for a while, then I heard an odd hiss. "What are you staring at kid?" It hissed. "I want to buy you." I hissed at the snake, surprising myself. It looked up, looking at me as if weighing me up. "How much for this snake?" I asked the man behind the counter. He walked over to me. "Twenty galleons, that one is. But for twenty extra I could give you a permit to take it to school." he whispered. "Deal." I said, getting the pouch out. I sorted out forty galleons and handed it to the man. He took the cage from the shelf and handed it to me. I immediately stuck my hand him. "What are you doin' kid?!" the man yelled, yanking the cage away. Too late. The snake was coiled around my wrist. -
The man stared at us in disbelief. "It should've bitten you! That's how I raised it!" he exclaimed. "It seems we have a double crosser here, doesn't it, Drezdan?" I asked the snake, in English. The man looked at me oddly. "Tell me, how poisonous is he?" I asked the man. He stuttered something that I couldn't hear. "What was that?" I asked again. "O-o-n-ne-e b-bi-te-e a-and your-e de-ead." he stuttered. "Give me the permit and I won't let him bite." I stated calmly, petting Drezdan lightly. The man scurried away and came back with a paper, the permit. He shakily gave it to me, staring at Drezdan the whole time.
After getting Drezdan I went back to my room. Hopefully time will pass quickly. I did some research about Drezdan. There was nothing about a snake like him. When he bit a rat, it's bones dissolved but it stayed alive for a few minutes after, before dying. I read all the books and trained with Drezdan. He was an amazing snake really, despite his slight rudeness when I met him. Time passed, and soon it was early morning on Sempember 1st. My trunk was packed and ready. I dragged it downstairs and went to the owner, Bruce, as I later learned. "Mister Bruce, I will be going to Hogwarts. I'll stay here in the summer, but please don't let anyone stay in my room. I'll pay for the room for every day, even if I am at Hogwarts." I said. He looked over, like all the other times.
"Oh Ebony, you've helped me through the year. Especially the last few weeks with that snake. He's kept the rats away better than any cat could! I'll keep your room safe for only a few Galleons. Now go on, enjoy your first year at Hogwarts!" he said cheerfully. Looks like the 'good little girl' act pays off. Well, here it does. I thanked him and then went to the fireplace. I reached into my back and grabbed two sickles. I threw it in a bowl and the fireplace glowed green. Thank you rent-a-floo! I carefully stepped into the fire. "Platform 9 3/4" I said, keeping my eyes closed. A spinning sensation washed over me. I felt my feet hit ground again.
I opened my eyes and stepped out of the fire, coughing slightly. Drezdan came from my pocket. "Never again." he hissed, followed by the sound of him gagging. There were hoards of people! I could hardly move through the crowd. I saw a familliar blond boy nearby. I managed to push through to him, and his parents. He saw me as I got through. "I knew you'd come!" he exclaimed. "Of course. I can't make the Potters suffer if I'm at some muggle school." I stated as Drezdan slithered sround my neck, so watch the Malfoys. "You have a snake?" the white haired man asked. "Yes sir, and I have a permit." I stated as respectfully as I can. He looked impressed. Maybe it was my hatered for my family or my thinking ahead.
"Draco, the train is leaving soon, and we still have to find a compartment." I stated after a few minutes of awkward silence. He nodded and said goodbye to his parents. "Goodbye Mister and Miss Malfoy, it was a pleasure seeing you again." I said just as Draco and I started for the train. "Hey Malfoy, I want to tell you something on the train." I whispered to him. He nodded as we kept walking. We walked through most of the train then found an empty compartment. He opened the door. "Ladies first." he said, smirking. I walked passed him, not minding him. I sat on the one side as Draco went to the other.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" he asked. "When we get to Hogwarts, before the sorting, don't believe anything I say. Just a bit of fun." I stated, smirking. He looked at me, confused. -
I looked in and saw a red headed boy and a black haired boy. The one with black hair had familliar green eyes. "Draco, stop tormenting my brother!" I commanded, pulling him back by his collar. Drezdan slithered around, glaring at him. This obviously scared Draco. He nodded shakily and walked away, the two other boys following. I went into the apartment. The red head looked from me to Harry back to me again. "Bloody hell, she looks just like you, Harry!" he exclaimed. "I know what you mean Ron. But my sister died six years ago, in a car crash." Harry stated, cautious now. I snorted. "That's what they told you? Well, they lied. I'm alive and well. Been a long time, Potter." I said, smirking. He stared at me, wide eyed. "I'll see you at Hogwarts" I bade them farewell, but they were still in slight shock. Harry because his sister was alive, and Ron, because I'm Harry's sister.
I didn't even make it back to my compartment when the train stopped. The children stormed out into the small hallway. I couldn't fight against all of them, so I was forced outside. "All the firs' years with me!" a towering man called. I pushed through to the group of first years. The group was already moving, but the man made sure everyone was there. The rest of the school was going an entirely different way. We soon came to a lake. The man disappeared for a few minutes. I went to the very front. "Oi, all of you listen up! If you swim across the lake you get to choose which house you're in!" I called. Almost instantly, most first years were shoving each other away to get in the water. A bunch of them remained. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco among them.
I walked over to Draco, who was snickering. "Nice" he whispered. The man returned and was surprised to see more than half the first years in the middle of the lake. There were boats, so he didn't know what to think. "The lo'of you, get on the boats. No more than four a boat!" he called. I was on a boat with Draco and Hermione. Turns out she really likes Drezdan. Draco let quiet as Hermione and I talked about the houses and, of course, Drezdan. The boat ride was quick, and we arrived at shore just as the swimmers got there. The man-giant scolded them. None of them really knew who said it, so no one hated me for their own stupidity.
We went inside and those who were wet, were now dry. An old which came after the large man left. "I am Professor Mcgonnagal. You will all be sorted into one of four houses, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Griffindor." she looked proud when she said Griffindor. "The rest of the school is inside. I will be out in a moment to retrieve you for the sorting." And with that, she was gone through the large doors.
I heard Draco say something about Potters. Everyone murmured and looked at Harry then at me. I ignored them. Instead, I looked down at Drezdan. "Hide" I hissed, making it sound like he had hissed. He hissed in agreement and hid in my robes, around my arm to be precise.
