Alice Lillian Potter

Chapter One

"Avada Kedavra!" These two words were the killing curse. They have taken many lives before that of Lily and James Potter. On that fateful night, that horrible spell was yelled at a child. This child however, was not killed by the infamous "killing curse" but instead made it rebound back onto the castor, who dissolved into the air as soon as he was hit. Soon after that, the soon to be famous Alice Potter passed out from fear. This poor little girl who could be no older than fifteen months old had beautiful, wavy brown hair and big green eyes much like her mother's. She would not have guessed in a million years that she, had just saved the wizarding world.

"WAKE UP FREAK AND MAKE BREAKFAST NOW"

Ten seconds later an eight year old Alice comes out from her cupboard groggily rubbing her eyes. She's been through allot, and you could tell. She had scars on her back and arms from years of abuse at the hands of the Dursleys. As Alice made her way into the kitchen, she ran into Dudley who pushed her in return. "Watch where you're goin' freak."

"S-sorry Dudley sir." Alice replied, only to be kicked and then hastily yanked up.

"I want pancakes now!" Dudley whined. "Right away Dudley." She replied. Eventually, Alice finished making breakfast for her supposed aunt and uncle and started on her chores. "Vernons off to work and I'm taking Dudders to the zoo. If I find out you didn't finish you chores by the time I get home, there will be hell to pay!" Petunia yelled at Alice then finished making her way out the door, followed by her husband.

After they leave Alice immediately starts her chores. She starts with the kitchen, working her way to the backyard. About an hour later, she finishes the last of her chores, and decides to do her schoolwork until the Dursleys get home. Alice is a very smart student, and only ever got one bad grade, which was in first grade. She usually gets punished for being smarter than Dudley but continues to show her best work.

By the time the Dursleys get home, it is well past five, and Alice is still studying. "GET OVER HERE FREAK!" Vernon shouts. "Y-yes sir." Alice replies. She then, scurries over to find her uncle drunk. 'I should run.' She thought. 'This man is dangerous, I could die!' Alice made an attempt to run, only to be blocked by Dudley. "Freaks deserve to be punished!" Vernon exclaimed.

*Alice POV*

Everything after that was a blur. I remember being punched by Dudley, then blacking out due to fright, and the blow I just took to the head. When I woke, all I could see was white light. It felt like I was floating. Then realization of why I blacked out hit in and I started to shed tears. 'Am I dead?' I thought to myself. 'Why, why me?! What did I ever do to live such a horrid and short life?!' By now, I felt like I would drown in a pool of my own tears, until I heard a voice that seemed to come from every direction.

"Don't fret child. You are in fact, not dead." The voice sounded feminine, with a gentle and caring tone. "W-where am I?" I asked the mysterious voice.

"You are in my dimensional domain. Right now, you are on the brink of death in your aunt and uncle's house." She replied.

"So, am going to die?!" I asked, panic filling my teary eyes.

"That my child, is up to you." She said. "I am here to give you a choice, a second chance at life."

"How? I'm supposed to be dieing am I not?" I asked.

"I can send you to another dimension where you can live a happy life with people who care for you. There will be hardships, many of them in this world, but you will get the life you deserve." The mysterious voice then got quieter. "I'm afraid time is running out! Please make you choice. Would you like to stay and die, or go and live!"

"I would like to go to this new dimension, and live!" I responded.

"Very well, may you live a happy and fulfilling life in this new world!" That was the last I heard of the mysterious voice before I suddenly woke up. There was a blonde boy hurriedly carrying me somewhere. "W-where are you taking me? Who are you?" I questioned. He suddenly came to a halt when he heard me speak.

"My name is Laxus Dreyar. I am eight years old and belong to the guild Fairy Tail." He then started to run again as he continued to explain. "I found you unconscious in the street and decided to take you to the guild. Gramps can call our healer and get you help."

After that I remember blacking out again, and one worried yell from Laxus.

*Normal POV*

When Laxus got to the guild, he kicked open the doors. "Gramps we have a problem!" He yelled. "I found this girl unconscious in the street, and she has a ton of visible scars."

"Bring her to the medical wing, I'll call Porlyusica!" Makarov yelled. By the time Porlyusica got to the guild, Alice was slowly starting to wake up. She could hear footsteps scrambling up the steps to the room she was in. The doors suddenly barged in and three people ran in. One of them was an old woman with pink hair and a stern look on her face. The second one was a short old man with a weird jester-like outfit and white hair. The third person was Laxus, who was wearing a t shirt with a lightning bolt on it. "Goodness child what happened to you!" Porlyusica said. "Nevermind, let's get you checked out." When the examination ended, Alice was diagnosed with malnutrition from lack of food, bone damage from unhealed breaks, dehydration, and being underweight. In other words it was a miracle for her to still be alive.

*Alice POV*

The pink haired lady was continuously fussing over how bad my health was and how troublesome humans were, which I didn't really understand. Eventually, she left and I was invited to stay at the guild while I recover. I gratefully accepted. When everyone left the events the day finally started to sink in, and I fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I could see Laxus sleeping in a chair next to my bed. 'Aww he's kinda cute when he's sleeping.' I thought. My injury on my head was healing incredibly fast and with some healing potions from Porlyusica, I would be able to leave in a couple of days. "Laxus, time to wake up." I said.

"Five more minutes." He grumbled. I giggled at that, and decided to nudge him a bit to wake him up. I shook his shoulder a bit and he abruptly shot up, falling out of his chair in the process. "What was that for?!" He yelled.

"Sorry! I just saw you sleeping in that chair and decided to wake you so I had someone to talk to!" I hastily replied.

"Oh! I'm sorry for yelling. You just startled me, that's all." He replied. Laxus then stood up. "You know, I was thinking about asking Gramps if you could join the guild. Only if that's okay with you of course!" He added the last part in quickly and it made me laugh a little.

"Of course it's okay with me!" I responded.

"Wait, what about your parents! We should contact them." Laxus said.

"Um, I don't have any parents. I've been living with my abusive aunt and uncle since they died. The reason why I was so beat up when you found me was because I ran away after my cousin punched the back of my head. I blacked out while running because of how severe the injury was." I said. After that there was a few minutes of silence an Laxus took in all the information about my past.

"Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you." He said. "Now I guess you just earned a spot in the tragic past club." I sighed at that joke. "At Fairy Tail, a-lot of people have horrible pasts that they moved on from with one another's help. I'm sure we can help you to." Laxus panicked a bit when he saw me start to cry. "Are you sure I can join the guild?" I asked.

"Positive!" He replied. I started to cry tears of joy at that. 'I finally have a family!'

"Thank you Laxus, I will never forget this day!"

"I-it was nothing! Please stop crying!" He continued to panic as I shed tears of joy.

'This is the start of my new life!'
