Author Note – I hope that you will be nice since this is my first Harry Potter story. I have many others that I have started but I think this one will be the best of both of the others two. Now, I would like to say that if this has already been done, I write everything from my thoughts. I haven't read many Harry Potter stories and most of them are Hermione Granger/Severus Snape. Ok, sue me I have a thing for bad boys. LOL – Blushes. Now onto the first chapter...

(The Burrows – Remus & Tonks Wedding Reception)

Callisto looked around the wedding and smiled as she saw Remus with Tonks. She had to admit the old wolf finally found his match in every way. Shaking her head, she looked around noticing that Harry Potter was standing off to the side. The only reason for her attendance was to keep an eye on Potter. Albus had sent a letter to her asking for her assistance. She didn't understand til she found that Tom Riddle had come back. Callisto knew tom and didn't want to cross his path again. Yet here she was, in the middle of a wedding of known Order members. The slightly removed Dark Mark was hidden underneath a glamor spell. The worse thing was it was on her neck where everyone could see, thus the glamor spell.

Just as Callisto was about to go and speak with Remus, she felt a chill run up her spine as the top of the wedding tent went up in smoke. Spells were being thrown as well as curses as Death Eaters crashed into the wedding party. Spinning around, she spotted Harry trying to get to the Weaseley girl, Ginny. Knowing she needed to get the kids out of here, she grabbed Harry and rushed off to find the other two. As soon as she found them, Callisto apparated away praying that none of the Death Eater's had seen her. She was thankful when they appeared in an alley what she believed to be London. Harry pulled away only to puke a few minutes later. The girl and boy were staring at her with weary looks. Callisto didn't say anything as she used her magic to change her clothing back to what it was originally. Her black hair was done in a braid as her blue eyes were locked on the three kids she saved. Her red lips were pulled into a smile as she tilted her head to the side.

"It's nice to meet the Golden Trio." Callisto decided to break the silence. "You might want to change into something more comfortable." She looked their tuxes over with a raised brow. "Its going to be a while before we are safe."

She didn't say anything else as she walked towards the end of the alley, keeping an eye out for anyone that looked like a Death Eater. Callisto could hear the kids behind her speaking yet she didn't pay attention to them. She felt a dark aura closing in which could only mean that a Death Eater was closing in on their location. Spinning around, Callisto rushed back over to the kids.

"Are you ready?" She asked looking between the three of them. "We have..."

Before she could finish the sentence, a curse was shot, barely missing her and the kids. She snarled as she pushed the kids back sending the Unforgivable curse, killing the Death Eater as soon as it hit him. She didn't think as she turned and grabbed the kids. In a flash they were away from the body and in the middle of a wooded area. Callisto sighed as she dropped down to the ground. Her eyes closed as she tried to push the images of the dead Death Eater out of her mind. It had been a long time since she had to use one of the Unforgivables. When a hand touched her shoulder, she couldn't help on how she reacted. Without opening her eyes, she grabbed the arm and twisted yet only when did she open her eyes, did she notice it was Ron. She quickly let go as she brushed off her clothing.

"Forgive me." Callisto said looking at the boy, rubbing his arm. "I didn't mean to harm you."

"S'right." Ron nodded as he cut his eyes to a clearing. "'Mione set up a tent. Do you want to come inside?"

He was worried about this woman coming with them yet he knew that this was needed. Callisto nodded as she allowed the boy to lead the way. As soon as she walked into the tent, she smiled and followed Ron to where Harry and Hermione were sitting. Ron took his seat as Callisto sat down across from the three kids. Harry and Hermione raised their eyes as she sat.

"Why are you here?" Harry asked his eyes narrowed.

Callisto sighed as she smiled sadly. "I received a letter from Dumbledore before he was killed." Harry nodded as she noticed the others had sad faces. "He explained that Tom Riddle had returned. I was part of the first war yet wasn't able to save your parents."

"Where you taught at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked frowning not really recognizing the womans outfit.

Callisto chuckled and shook her head. "No I wasn't taught at Hogwarts although I did go once." She smiled at them. "Albus, Remus, Madeye, Minerva and a couple others taught me in private since... well I wasn't welcomed into the school after the battle."

"Why?" Ron asked frowning.

"Because of this." She whispered dropping the concealment spell on her Dark Mark. "I was a spy for the order." Callisto could see the three kids stiffen.

"You're...you're..." Ron stuttered as his eyes were fixated on the mark on the woman's neck.

"Why is it on your neck?" Harry asked looking closer. "Snape and Malfoy's are on their arms." He looked in her eyes.

"That I can not tell you at this time." Callisto said as she looked at the boy. "I will tell you that I was very close to the Dark Lord when he was in power before you were born. It was the reason I received it on my neck. Few are able to handle the pain."

"Then you're an order member." Hermione said as she tilted her head to the side. "But spied on Voldemort."

Callisto nodded as she looked between the three of them. "You also know another spy."

"Who?" Ron asked since the other two wouldn't.

"I cant tell you that." Callisto said as she saw Ron getting rather red. "Unless you know Occlumency, as well as a master, then I wont reveal his identity."

"She's right." Harry said as his eyes locked with Callisto's. "We don't know if or when we'll have to face Voldemort or one of his other followers. The less we know the betta'."

"Alright, then what are we doing to do now?" Ron looked around to everyone.

Harry frowned as he looked at the fake Hulcrux. "We find the rest Hulcrux's and destroy them." He looked at Callisto. "Will you help us?"

Callisto nodded as she smiled at the boy. "Albus asked for me to watch over the Golden Trio." She saw Hermione blush and Ron's chest fill slightly. "Until I am needed elsewhere, I will lend my support. I see you managed to get this one."

"It's a fake." Hermione sighed as she fiddled with the locket.

"Is there anything inside?" Callisto asked as a memory of the same locket surfaced in her mind.

"A note."

Callisto frowned as she closed her eyes, she tried to remember where she had seen it then it clicked. "The Blacks." Her eyes popped open. "We need to go to the Blacks home. I remember one of the Blacks had a necklace just like this one when Voldemort came back the first time."

"Then we'll head there first." Harry nodded standing, and stretching. "First things first. It's late so why don't we hit the hay. We need a good night's rest before we need to run for our lives again." He smirked at Hermione and Ron, who snorted.

Callisto nodded as the boys grabbed their sleeping clothes and headed outside to change. Hermione pulled out a pair of sleeping pants and shirt to Callisto. The older witch smiled and nodded as she held them out, only to find they were slight smaller then she normally wore. Using her wandless, wordless magic, she was able to transform them into something a little bigger. She had more bust and longer legs then the young girl thus she needed to make some adjustments. In a short time, the girls were ready for bed. The boys knocked before entering then went to their beds getting ready to fall asleep.

"Rest peacefully." Callisto told them. "I have warded the area around us thus no one can hear us if they pass."

"Night." Hermione whispered as Ron snored.

Harry sighed and shook his head. "G'night."

Everyone settled down for the night as Callisto thought about everything that had happened thus far. Never before had she had children look up to her. It as only yesterday she was looking up to Albus, Minerva, Madeye and Remus for guidance and now she was giving guidance to three young children. Callisto prayed that her mentor was proud of who she had become. She knew that soon she would have to face her brother. Someone she didn't wish to ever see again yet the time was now since Harry Potter was here. She knew what needed to be done yet hoped the Gods would allow Harry to make a choice.

To stay dead...

Or live...

(Hogwart's School Of Witchcraft & Wizardry – Head Master's Office)

Severus Snape was looking out the window when he heard the door of his office open. He mentally sighed as he kept his face passive, turning to greet his guest. Severus stiffened when he spotted Bellatrix not far from the entrance. With Bellatrix standing there it could only mean that the Dark Lord was not far behind.

"Severus, what new has come through the hall of Hogwarts?" Voldemort asked as he slithered into the room.

"Not much my lord." Severus answered in his monotone, his hands behind his back as he stepped closer. "There is a rumor, however. In the Gryffindor house." His eyes moved to Bellatrix.

Voldemort titled his head and held out his arms. "What is this rumor, Severus?" His eyes narrowed. "Are they speaking of where Potter is?"

"No my lord." Severus answered as Bellatrix skipped around the room. His eyes moving with her. "It is of another. A girl, er woman."

Voldemort's eyes widen as his shot to Bellatrix. "Leave us." He ordered. "I wish to speak with Severus alone."

"Master..." Bellatrix started but was silenced by Voldemort hissing at her. "Yes, Master." she sounded like a wounded child as she headed out of the room where Severus and Voldemort stood.

"Please have a seat my lord." Severus offered seeing that Voldemort walked around the desk and sat in Dumbledore's seat.

He had to bite his tongue in order from saying something that would reveal him as a spy. Severus remained cool on the outside as he walked over and took a seat in front of the desk. Voldemort kept his eyes on Severus as the new head master took a seat in front of him. Severus cleared his throat before he began.

"The girl is named Callisto Crux." Severus spoke in his normal cool tone. "She was able to apparated with the boy along with Hermione Granger and Ron Weaseley. The Death Eater that did follow, was found dead in London in a dark alley."

Voldemort nodded as he sat back. "You are of great help to me, Severus." His eyes held an odd warmth, Severus needed to hold back a shiver that threatened to run through his body. "I wish to reward you with a different Dark Mark, if you will."

"A different Dark Mark, my lord?" Severus kept his panic under control.

Voldemort nodded, wondering if Bellatrix was correct about Severus Snape being a spy for the Order. "Yes, as my faithful servant these past years. I want to give you a mark that will show your rank." His eyes narrowed as he grew closer. "Yet there was only one other to receive this mark, then she betrayed me to the Order."

"My Lord?" Severus was nervous beyond belief yet he knew he had to do what he needed to survive. "I will not betray you. I have not every betrayed your trust." He looked calmly into Voldemort's eyes.

"I know." Voldemort said as he placed a hand on Severus shoulder. "You are more loyal then most. Thus the reason I wanted to give you this gift." His eyes were hiding something.

"Of course, my Lord." Severus nodded his head.

Voldemort smiled widely, showing his shark like teeth. "That is wonderful, yet I am afraid all will see it." He looked to Severus, as well as into his mind. "That would be fine with you, correct?"

Severus nodded his thoughts were filled with the privilege of receiving such a mark. "I would indeed bare it with pride."

"Good, good." Voldemort nodded moving behind Severus. "Do hold still. I do not wish to mess up."

Without warning, Voldemort grabbed a hold of the side of Severus' neck and pushed the dark power into where his hand layed while the dark mark on his arm disappeared only to reappear on his neck. Severus had his eyes squeezed tightly as he allowed the Dark Lord to do as he wished. He could only pray that once the war was over, things would be different. In what seemed like an eternity, Voldemort released Severus and moved back to the chair behind the desk and sat down.

"Now that is over, I have a task for you." Voldemort's eyes were narrowed as an evil grin spread across his face.

"Yes, my lord." Severus' throat was rather raw from what happened.

Voldemort smiled widely. "I wish you to find Callisto as well as Potter, Granger and Weaseley." He leaned back as he hands folded in front of him, elbows resting on the arms of the chair. "Keep an eye on them yet do not interfere with what they are doing. I want them to come to me, here. Do you understand?"

Severus nodded as he bowed. "Yes, my lord." He raised and turned only to be stopped.

"Send Bellatrix in if you see her, would you?" Severus could see the lustful look in the Dark Lord's eye and knew what Bellatrix was around for.

"Of course, my lord." Severus hurried out of the room, the door closing behind him.

Thankfully he didn't see Bellatrix as he walked calmly out of the school. He didn't wish to rely the message knowing what it would lead to. Severus turned his thoughts back to the mark on his neck. The dark lord had moved his mark to show others he was on the Dark Lord's side. Severus couldn't help but cringe when he thought of seeing the other order members. Although they knew he was a spy, he didn't think they knew he carried the mark. For that he hoped wasn't true. As soon as he was far enough away from the school, Severus apparated to where he hoped the Order members would be.

(A Order Safe House – 100 Miles Into The Woods Outside Hogsmeade)

Remus, Tonks, Bill and Fluer were the first ones to arrive at the Safe house outside London. Molly, Ginny and George were the next ones to arrive. Arthur, Fred and Kingsley were the last ones to arrive. Kingsley was needed at the Ministry of Magic yet he didn't feel comfortable going just yet. Not when he believed along with everyone else, that the Dark Lord had infiltrated the Ministry. They were all sitting in the living room when Severus apparated in front of them. The twins as well as a few others grabbed their wands while Arthur, Remus and Molly looked at the man's neck. They couldn't help but notice that this dark mark was just like that of an old Order member.

"Oi, what's Snape doin' 'ere?" Tonks snapped her hand protectively covering her stomach. "Isn't he with the Dark Lord?"

"Why don't you all head head upstairs and get ready for bed?" Molly said without looking at the kids.

"But mum..." Fred started but George shook his head as he noticed the look on their parents faces. "A'right." He grumbled as he ushered the others out of the room.

Tonks, Fluer and Bill stayed put as Bill looked at his parents. "I ain't lil' any more." He looked from his mum to his dad. "Fluer and I are members as well as Tonks and Remus. I think we should be included."

"Are you able to do Occlumency?" Snape snapped at them. "Voldemort will get inside your brain and find out every little secret that is in there." His eyes narrowed.

"Of course they are able, Snape." Remus said his eyes narrowed. "Why is your mark on your neck?"

"Voldemort believes I am one of his most loyal servants." Severus spat as he started to pace. "He has asked me to find a woman of Callisto Crux." There were several gasps around the room.

"How?" Remus whispered looking around. "Callisto was killed before he was able to get to Lily."

"It seems someone seen the girl at the wedding the Death Eater's crashed." His eyes went to Remus and Tonks. "Was there anyone there you didn't know?"

Both shook their heads but it was Molly, who spoke up. "I thought I saw Calli yet I couldn't be sure." She sighed as she looked at Arthur. "Did ya see anyone?"

"Did you say Calli?" Tonks said with a frown. "I remember someone writing in my wedding book by that name." She looked at Remus. "Could it have been her?"

"Sure it could have." Fred said as he skipped down the stairs.

George slide down the railing. "We seen a woman with Harry, Ron and Hermione before they took off." He looked to his brother. "Didn't they apparated?"

"If they did, then there is no telling where they are." Arthur spoke up finally. "Why did you come, Severus?" his eyes were narrowed at the spy.

Severus stiffened as he eyed Weaseley. "I believed you may need to know this." He looked to Molly. "I guess I was mistaken. If you'll excuse me, the Dark Lord has asked for my assistance in retrieving Potter, Granger, Weaseley as well as Callisto Crux."

"Snape, you do know who Callisto is don't you?" Remus asked before the Professor could take off.

Severus gritted his teeth as he eyed the others over his shoulder. "Of course, I know."

With that he spun around and apparated to the place where the dead Death Eater was found. He needed to start there in order to try and follow where they kids and woman could have gone. Severus knew that if the woman was as good as her reputation then he would one hell of a fight on his hands, if he did find them. In one way he didn't wish to find them yet in another he wanted to meet his predecessor. Severus knew that she must have been one hell of a witch in order to fool Voldemort. When Severus thought back, he could vaguely remember Callisto during part of their 5th year. She had just appeared one day walking with Lily and James. He was shocked that he noticed she had been placed in Slytherin yet the two high ranking Gryffindor's were being friendly to a Slytherin. It was about five months later, Callisto suddenly vanished. James and his 'crew' never did say anything about her until he joined the Order some time later. He then found out the truth about everything.

(Woods – Protected Campsite – 2:00 AM)

Callisto sat out under the stars as others slept inside the tent. She heard Ron snoring as Hermione yelled at him to turn every so often. It seemed that Harry was use to it since he slept through the who thing. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about the way Hermione and Ron fought all the time. They kinda reminded her of James and Lily. Of course, with Harry around -there son- it was even more odd since he was a perfect mixture of mother and father. Shaking her head, Callisto decided she needed a few more hours of sleep before they had to get up and rush off to the Order's hideout at the old Black's place. Turning, Callisto head towards the tent only to stop when she heard voices. Frowning she turned and walked back to the place where the barrier spell ended. It didn't take her long before she spotted some snatchers walking through the woods.

"Why does the Dark Lord want these Mudbloods?" One of the Snatchers asked the leader.

"Don't know don't care." The Leader told him as he looked around. "Do you smell that?"

Callisto stiffened knowing they could smell her shampoo. The leader walked over and stood in front of her as she held her breathe. She didn't want any of them to try and come closer since they would find out that their was a barrier spell in place.

"I don't smell anything." The first snatcher said as he shifted the witch on his shoulder. "Can we hurry it up? This bitch ain't light."

"We do need to hurry," The single female in the group said. "The Dark Lord wants these things as soon as possible. Remember the last time we were late on a delivery."

The leader snorted as he turned and headed back over to the other snatchers. "Yeah, yeah." He turned and looked back to where Callisto was standing yet couldn't see her. "The sooner we find Potter and Crux then the sooner we can get payed."

Callisto let a breathe out as soon as all of the Snatchers were gone from her sight. She turned only to see that Harry was standing behind her with wide eyes. She could see the questions in his eyes as she stood there. Callisto held out her hand as she walked towards the boy.

"Harry?" She whispered not sure if any other snatchers were around.

Harry shook his head as he turned his head to where the Snatchers were standing. "They're lookin' fer me and you?"

"Yes." She couldn't lie to the boy. There was no telling what he had heard.

"I think I know who you are." Harry said as his eyes went back to Callisto's. "Your last name isn't Crux, is it?"

Callisto sighed and shook her head. "No it's not." She held the boys eyes. "You can not say anything to either Ron or Hermione. I cant have them knowing who I am. When the time comes I will reveal who I am but at that time I need you to stand by me."

"Are you anything like him?" Harry frowned his hand twitching.

Callisto smiled as she gestured to the scar over her eye. "He did this to me since I refused his service." She sighed as she started walking towards the tent. "I also know why you can hear the snakes and the Hulcrux's. I believe you know as well."

"You wont say anything to them." Harry turned his eyes to her. "Will you? I don't want them to worry." She could see the tears threatening to fall.

"Your secret is safe with me." Callisto nodded placing an arm around the boy's shoulders.

Harry nodded as he leaned into the embrace. "And I'll keep yours." He couldn't help but feel as if a mother was holding him. "You knew my parents. What were they like?"

"Let's get some sleep then we'll speak about your parents." Callisto told the boy as they headed into the tent only to find that Hermione and Ron were sleeping in the same bed.

Callisto chuckled as she shook her head, heading to her own cot. Harry stared for a moment then waved his hand, closing the curtains to their small little alcove. He followed Callisto's lead and headed to bed. He did want to know of his parents yet right now there were other pressing matters to attend to. One of them was after him as well as Callisto. Harry prayed that he would be able to defeat the Dark Lord once and for all. He couldn't help but feel that something was coming that would test their faith in each other. Remembering what Callisto said, harry wondered if she had seer blood running through her veins.

Not to mention, why Dumbledore asked for her help?

(~*~*~*~*~*~*~)

Author Note – Ok here is my first Harry Potter story. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I am having to write it. I know that you will like the little twist and turns I have coming. Hopefully none of you are able to tell who Callisto is related to? If you do, let me know by a PM. Now what do you think will happen when they go to find the necklace the Black brother took? Will things go differently? Or will things go worse then before?
