Arabella's POV

I head to Olivanders Wand Shop by myself because my parents couldn't be bothered to come.

I walk inside and I see another boy here with his parents, he has black chin length wavy hair and he's considerably nervous and also a little taller than me, while as his parents, they're intimidating.

"Ah, Arabella." The guy who I can only assume is Olivander says walking out with a wand, handing the boy a box with a wand.

"Hello." I say to him with a nervous smile.

"Where are your parents?" Olivander asks me confused.

"They, couldn't be bothered to come." I say to him and he nods.

"Alright, let's see." Olivander says as he chooses a wand box from a high up shelf. He gets down as the boy tries out his wand and it works for him.

Olivander hands me my wand box and I pull it out to see its 10 inch acacia wood with a unicorn hair core.

I test it out and it fits nicely in my hand and it works really well with me.

"Ah, good, good." Olivander says to me with a nod.

"Thank you." I say to him as I pay for the wand and I leave, putting the wand in my pocket.

I look at my list of things and I tremble seeing how many things are still on it as I cross the wand off.

"Hey little girl, are you ok?" A woman asks me, making me back up, startled.

"I-I'm ok." I say to her nervously, she looks like a nice elderly woman and there is a boy next to her with round glasses and touseled brown hair.

"Where are your parents?" She asks me concerned.

"T-They couldn't be bothered to come." I say as I look down nervously.

"Why don't you come with us then?" The boy asks me and the woman hums.

"You'll get lost if your alone." The woman says to me and I nervously nod.

"Alright." I say to her and she nods.

"You can call me Mrs. Potter, this boy with the unruly hair is James Potter, my son." The woman says to me and I nod.

"My name is Arabella Genesis." I say to her and she looks at me in shock.

"Arabella? Can I call you Bella? Your name is kind of long." James asks me and I nod.

"Well, children can't choose their parents, let's get going, what have you gotten so far?" Mrs. Potter asks me.

"Just my wand, it took me a while to get here and find the shop." I say to her and she nods.

"We only just got here and got my wand." James says to me with a grin and I nod.

"Well, let's get your books." Mrs. Potter says to the both of us and we nod.

We go and get our books and I pay for my own books.

"Adopted a child Euphemia?" An older male asks with a laughing smile as he looks at me.

"No, she's alone so we offered to help her." Mrs. Potter says to him.

"And what is your name?" The elderly male asks me.

"Arabella Genesis." I say to him nervously and he gasps quietly and I know that gasp, I always hear that gasp, that's the gasp of, oh she's their child. That's the gasp that makes me nervous and ashamed of my last name.

"She's already nervous enough." Mrs. Potter says to him.

"Sorry, sorry, its just surprising that she's even here." The elderly man says to her.

As the two talk and James listens, I escape unnoticed.

I need an animal, a couldron and a few other things as well.

I go around, nervous as I get my things and once I'm done, I head to the train station since I got all my stuff last minute.

I got a six month old White Maine Coon with blue eyes and she looks like she's always glaring.

I just get on the train and I sit in the corner of a cart with my legs pulled up to my chest as to not take up so much room.

James comes in and puts his trunk up and then sits down across from me. "Where did you disappear off to?" James asks me confused.

"I-I, I've heard that gasp too many times, and then the conversation, I-I couldn't stay and listen." I say quietly and James nods.

"Your parents are bloody awful aren't they?" James asks me and I gulp.

Just the mention of them terrifies me. "Describe awful?" I ask him meekly.

"Describe?" James asks shocked and I put my head in my knees. "They terrify you." James says at last and I nod slightly.

The boy from the wand shop comes up to our door. "Can I sit in there? There is nowhere else to sit." He asks us.

"Sure!" James says to him with a grin.

The boy comes in and James helps him get his trunk up on the shelf.

"My name is Sirius Black, who are you two?" The boy asks and then he sees me. "Your the nervous girl from the wand shop." Sirius says to me shocked.

"Yeah, she is nervous." James says to him with a shrug. "My name is James Potter." James says to him with a grin as he holds out his hand and Sirius takes it.

"I'm Arabella Genesis." I say to him quietly as I hold my hand out.

"Woah, a Genesis." Sirius says shocked as he takes my hand and shakes it. "Is it true your family dates all the way back to the beginning of magic?" Sirius asks me and I nod nervously.

"Everyone born up to me in the Genesis Family has been men, so my parents were disappointed when I turned out to be a girl, but they had another child shortly after me who was a boy, so the lineage continues." I say and that shocks James and Sirius.

"Wow, your parents are douches." Sirius says to me and I hide my face again.

"She doesn't like talking about her family." James says to Sirius who nods.

"What's your cats name?" Sirius asks me, changing the subject.

I look up at them. "Nimbus, like the cloud." I say and he nods.

"Thats a good name." James says to me and I nod.

"I thought it suited her." I say as the train starts moving.

We talk for a little while before we take turns leaving to change into our robes.

"You look great in those robes." Sirius says as I get back to the cart.

"Thanks." I say to him as I sit down in my seat.

"So, what do you think Hogwarts will be like?" James asks us.

"Amazing." Sirius says to us and I shrug.

"Different." I say and James nods.

"We're gonna make out first year great." James says to us and we nod.

We get to Hogwarts and we get our luggage off and people take them for us.

I stick near Sirius and James as we head inside.

"Arabella." The familiar voice of Lucius says behind me and I jump, startled.

"Go away." I say to him and James looks over to see the boy harassing me.

"Hey, leave Bella alone." James says to Lucius as James pulls me behind him.

"What? Got a body guard?" Lucius asks me with a smirk.

"I'm her friend." James says to him with a small scowl.

"Its ok James, he's always tried to get under my skin." I say to him quietly and James looks back at me for a moment before giving Lucius a warning look and then takes me to the front of the group.

"From now on, your my sister, if that boy ever tries that again, come get me." James says to me and I nod.

"Thank you." I say to him quietly and James smiles.

We get taken into the great hall and I feel even smaller as I look at how big the place is.

Everyone stares at us as we pass them to the front and I'm nervous as hell.

Professor Dumbledore starts a speech and everyone else goes before me before my name is called.

"Arabella Genesis?" Professor McGonnagal says to me and I nervously walk up and sit down.

The sorting hat gets placed on my head and it falls over my eyes.

"Hmm, family are Slytherins, but you wouldn't last there, best choice would be Hufflepuff, but you have a fire that needs awakened that will only happen in Gryffindor." The sorting hat mutters and I tremble nervously. "GRYFFINDOR!" He yells and I squeak as he says that since it startled me.

The hat gets removed as Gryffindor cheers and I walk down and sit next to James and Sirius.

"I'm scared now." I whisper and Sirius nods in agreement.

"Scared?" James asks us confused.

"Our families are all Slytherins." Sirius says to us and James' eyes widen.

"A Genesis at the Gryffindor table, that's a first in all of history, a Black as well." An older Gryffindor says shocked.

"And now, since everyone is sorted, let the feast begin!" Professor Dumbledore announces and food appears on the table.

I don't eat much at first until James scolds me, telling me to eat more and he makes me eat more.

Once dinner is over, as we're leaving the great hall, Lucius gives me a look that shows me I'm in deep trouble.

I get really nervous as us Gryffindors head to the Gryffindor tower.

I listen to the password and its Latin for tickle, the password titillationem.

"Please tell me you remembered that?" James asks me and I nod. "Good." He says in relief.

We head inside and I end up following the girls to the girls dorms and I get roomed with two redheads.

"My name is Lily Evans." One of the Redheads as she looks at the other red head.

I sit on my bed with my knees up to my chest, trembling as I think about the howler I'm gonna get this week.

"I'm Marlene McKinnon." The other red head says to her. "I'm a first year." She says to her.

"Are you ok?" Lily asks me concerned and I shake my head.

"She's Arabella Genesis, her entire family were Slytherins, and everyone before her in the Genesis lineage were born boys, her family is prestigious, and she's small, she's not gonna be ok, Lily." Marlene says to her and Lily gasps.

"I'm scared." I whisper quietly.

"Oh honey, what's wrong?" Marlene asks me concerned as she sits on my bed and hugs me to which I flinch.

Later that night, I sit in the common room in the corner of the couch, staring at the fire.

"Bella, what are you doing down here so late?" James asks as he sits next to me.

"My room is filled with redheads, I've never seen so much red hair in one room before." I say and James nods. "Not that I have anything against them, they're really nice." I add, a bit worried.

"Your skittish." James says to me and I nod.

"All I can think about is the howler coming for me this week." I mumble and James nods worried.

"You know what bothers me about yours and Sirius's families?" James asks me and I shake my head. "They expect so much, and when they don't get what they want from you, they scorn you." James says to me and I look away.

"I don't think I'm gonna want to go home for Christmas this year or this summer." I whisper and James looks at me worried.

He scoots over next to me and he hugs me, and I try not to flinch. "Your coming to my house for Christmas, no buts." James says to me and I nod slightly.

"Thanks James." I whisper and he hums.

He moves away from me and he reads one of our new school books.

I just watch the fire for a while before I fall asleep.

An hour later, I'm shaken slightly from my sleep.

"If your tired, you should go to your dorm room and sleep." James says to me and I nod slightly.

I get up unsteadily and James helps me with a worried look.

"I'm ok." I mumble and he smiles slightly.

I somehow make it back to my dorm room and I see the red heads asleep.

I head to my bed where Nimbus is asleep on my pillow and I just lay down next to her, going back to sleep.
