Harry Potter and the Chrestomanci

Sirius Black loved telling anyone who would listen about his girlfriend. He loved her medium length blonde hair, and he loved burying his face into it. He loved her athletic body, better to snuggle to, even though she often pushed him away. It was all right because they belonged to each other and they both knew it. But he only saw her during summers, which seemed too short, though they wrote to each other often. In fact it was summer now, and even though he was joking with Remus, Peter and James on the train back, he couldn't help thinking about this summer.

"So Padfoot, ready to cause more trouble back at home."

"You can only say that if I called that place home." Sirius joked.

"Well," Remus remembered, " you get to see May again right?" The rest of his friends grinned; they knew how much that he loved talking about her.

"Pads..."

"Yes Prongs?"

James smiled, "So when do we get to meet this mystery woman..."

"Soon enough." He smiled inwardly. Only a few more hours...

May hated living at " The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black". The only good parts were the brothers Sirius and Regulus. Regulus was handsome and charming when he wanted to be, but mostly he was a huge baby. He love being the better child because he knew that there were things in which Sirius would always be better than him at. Sirius on the other hand was her savior from the mundane life, and from "The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black".

(I guess I should explain) Mayelbridwen (May or Maewen or Brid or Bri) is the Chrestomanci, and the only one at the moment. A Chrestomanci is a very powerful, usually wizard, who controls and regulates multiple worlds of magic. So, to control all those worlds they have nine-lives. A Chrestomanci can be born from any background, but usually from the family of Chant. See, Voldemort found out when she was around six. At that time he was collecting his Horcrux and decided that there was no better place to put a seventh of his evil soul than in the heart of the most powerful wizard ever known. So he gathered his Death Eaters one night and traveled to the Chant's house in Surrey. They blast open the door, to find Mayelbridwen and her two muggle parents, they killed Mr. and Mrs. Chant and held May steady with silver, the only way to prevent a Chrestomanci's powers, while Severus Snape got out a potion. Voldemort poured it over the young girl's heart, painfully ripping open her flesh to reveal a small beating heart. The potion enabled him to grab out the heart and put it into a velvet sack. She screamed bloody murder, but she would never die from it.

By doing so, he created the person he had always wanted to be. Nearly immortal, able to travel between worlds, all-powerful, and not to forget, heartless. She was everything he wished to be, and she despised it. Even Dumbledore would not let her attend Hogwarts because of it, and that's how she ended up at the Blacks. They were the only family who would take in someone so heartless and powerful without a second thought. May was now living a life she loathed, and no one (except maybe Sirius) seemed to be able to help her out of it.
