Prologue
Merope Bartelmey held the crying bundle close as she ran up the lane. She knew she would die soon so she was taking her daughter to the one place she knew she'd be safe. She got to the door and banged on it loudly.
"Merope, what are you doing here?" the voice came from the blode haired man who'd opened the door.
"Lucius, you have to take her in. Your the only one who's knows that isn't in Azkaban." she said desperatly.
"I don't know."
"Lucius, please." she said. He pitied the hope that gleamed from her eyes, the desperatness in her voice.
"Okay." he said gravely.
"Oh thank you Lucius! Thank you!" she gave him the bindle and left down the lane. Leaving her only daughter Ellie, Lord Voldemort's granddaughter, into the care of the Malfoys. Voldemort had fell in love with a young witch but killed her after they'd known each other for a year because she betrayed him. He took care of his daughter Merope. When she turned 17 she left and fell in love with one of his death eaters. They married secretly but he died shortly afterward. She had Voldemort's only granddaughter Ellie.
Chapter One
Ellie sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Why can't I go! I'm sick of staying here and never being able to leave!" She yelled at her grandfather.
"No. No one outside of the death eaters can know who you are, can even know you exist." said the high cold voice of her grandfather, Lord Voldemort.
"I can take care of myself! I'm almost 17!" she yelled.
"Fine. Be careful. Anything happens I will personaly kill you." he said waving her out of his sight.
"Thank you!" she said and ran out of the room.
"Malfoy. You failed me once, follow her, watch her. Anything happens to her I will kill you this time." Lord Voldemort said turning to Draco Malfoy.
"Yes my lord." he said and he hurried out of the room.
Ellie breathed in the fresh air. She hadn't been outside in ages. Her long, soft, dark haired blew loosley in the wind, her dark eyes filled with excitment. She practically ran down to the village. She loved the village. It made her forget about her problems being surrounded by all of the noises and people. It was a relief compared to her room that she was usually locked in. She was so caught up in it all that she wasn't paying attention to where she was going.
"Whoa!" she ran into someone and hit the ground. Her hand automattically reached for her wand.
"Sorry. Are you okay?" she looked up and saw a boy about her age standing with his hand out. She grasped it and got up.
"Yeah I'm fine." She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry I ran into you. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He said. She noticed he had a kind voice. She found herself blushing.
"Neither was I. I'm Ellie, Ellie Bartelmey." She said sticking out her hand.
"Harry, Harry Potter." he said grasping her hand. She held back her horror as her eyes flicked upward.
"Harry Potter. The Harry Potter." she said, hoping she'd heard wrong and that this was a differant Harry potter with a lightning shaped scar.
"So your a witch to?" he asked her. Oh no. He is. she thought sadly.
"Yeah." she said. She knew it would look suspicious to leave quickly.
"How old are you? I don't remember seeing you at Hogwarts." he said as though he was trying to place her.
"Oh. I didn't go there. I just moved here." she said making something up.
"Oh." he said.
"Harry! There you are. We've been looking all over for you." said an exasperated girl with bushy brown hair coming up to them. She was followed by a tall boy with red hair.
"Oh right. Ron, Hermione, I'd like you to meet Ellie. Ellie Ron and Hermione." he said gesturing to the two people.
"Hi. Nice to meet you." Hermione said sticking out her hand.
"You to." Ellie said shaking it. Malfoy stood watching all of this. He knew he'd get in trouble if he let this go any further. He changed the color of his hair and eyebrows and walked up to them.
"Ellie, c'mon we have to go." he said grabbing her arm.
"I want to stay here and talk." Ellie said firmly.
"We have to go now."
"I don't want to."
"We had better go any way." this time it was Harry. "Bye. it was nice to meet you Ellie." he said walking off.
"Thanks a lot Malfoy." she mumbled as they walked back.
"You were flirting with Harry Potter." he said.
"I wasn't flirting." she said blushing more deeply. "So did grandpa tell you to follow me." she said trying to turn the subject away from Harry.
"Yes because as you well know he dosn't trust you." ellie rolled her eyes bejind Malfoy's back. "I saw that. Anyway you're going to be in a lot of trouble when the Dark Lord finds out about this."
"Whatever." she mumbled rolling her eyes again. Still, she dreaded seeing her grandfather after 'frantranizing' with the enemy.
This is just the first chapter. Please, tell me what you think.
