Chapter 1
Storybrooke! That was the new home for Louise Potter Black and her brother Harry and her friends. Since moving to Storybrooke, Louise have had to used to a lot of things: new place, new people and most of all, she had to move on with her life. She would have been lying to herself if she hadn’t admitted the last seven years had been hard. Looking back on it, it seemed like it had been a rollercoaster of emotions, from joy to sadness, from making friends and also making enemies accidentally. To Louise, it had been the most fun, exciting and scary adventure she had been on but it had been her life and the adventure stopped in the ruins of Hogwarts School, where she was last see standing beside Harry and her cousin Hope Mikaelson.
Now a month had passed since the battle of Hogwarts and Louise was sat out in the fields, allowing the warmth of the sun to shine on her and everything around her. Sitting there, she remembered all the friends she had lost but the biggest loss for her was Fred Weasley. Nobody had known that Louise had a crush on Fred, but if anyone did know, they kept it to themselves. Being deep in her thoughts, she wasn’t paying much attention to her surroundings, but when she heard a rustling noise, she immediately came back to reality. Being a newbie in Storybrooke, Louise wasn’t quite sure on what to expect, so with the noise, she was on high alert, standing up. It had become a habit of hers when she thought she was in danger. If she was stood up at least she could try to run away if needed.
“Who are you?” a male voice asked, coming from behind her. It was a stern voice, but it also sounded velvety.
Turning around, Louise glanced to the man. He was slim, tall and dressed in black leather. He also had blue eyes and brown hair.
“I’m Louise,” she replied quietly, averting her gaze to the floor.
There was something about him. Something that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
“Are you ok?” He asked, “I’m Sir Guy of Gisborne”
“I’m fine,” Louise replied, wondering on why anyone be interested in her- let alone how she was. Hearing that he was a Sir- Louise was quiet surprised.
“Well for a young lady like yourself,” Guy started explaining, walking closer to Louise, “It’s not safe for you to be out her.” He finished. There was definitely something about this girl which puzzled him. He also sensed that there might be a bond between the two.
“There’s outlaws around here.”
Noticing Guy coming closer, Louise took a step back, merely out of habit. It seemed like that this man was trying to protect her by warning her of the Outlaws.
“I’ll be fine” Louise stated, “I can protect myself but thank you for your concern,” she said kindly, allowing a warm smile to appear.
“I should be going,” She said turning around, walking away from Guy. There was definitely something about Guy of Gisborne that she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Glancing back, she watched him as he mounted his black stallion before he rode away.
Riding away from the fields, Sir Guy couldn’t help but look back at Louise. Whoever she was, he knew in her heart that there was something special about her- even if he didn’t want to admit it. According to the Sheriff of Nottingham, all women were lepers, a disease.
For Louise, the walk back to the Weasley’s house was uneventful. Arriving at the three-storey house, it looked like a normal house on the outside but the inside was where the magic was. On the inside, the house looked cosy and welcoming which Louise was thoroughly appreciating. It may not of been as big as the Mikaelson’s home, but for now it was becoming a second home until she decided on what her future would be like.
“Been out in the fields?” Molly asked. She had short curly red hair, short and was wearing black clothes still.
“Yes I have,” Louise replied, glancing towards Molly.
If she had wanted to say anything about meeting Sir Guy of Gisborne, she was stopped by the ringing bell and the voices of Harry and Ron.
