When Severus and Cassandra were about twenty
Cassandra walked the corners of the Avenue with her wand inside her jacket. It was the middle of fall and she hadn't seen or spoken to Severus in three months after he found out Lily was expecting. She really missed him, he was the only thing she had left besides her unborn daughter.
She came to Lily and James house and knocked gently on the door. Lily with her auburn hair in a high pony tail and her emerald eyes gleaming in the light smiled.
"Hey Cassandra hows it goin?" she said cheerfully until she saw the baby bump on her stomach.
"Whoa your expecting?" she said. Cassandra sighed and nodded.
"Come in here in case You-Know-Who is around." she whispered ushering her in.
"Whose the father?" Lily asked helping Cassandra sit.
"I don't remember. All that I can remember is getting drunk one night and waking up in my house." she lied.
Lily seemed convinced that Cassandra was telling the truth so she just smiled.
Severus missed Cassandra, being a Deatheater wasn't really hard work, but it was a little bit boring. He hated cleaning up the Dark Lord's messes after he killed either a Muggle Family or a Wizard Family. Sitting down in his library reading old Prophesy's he came across one that foretold of a boy and girl killing the most evil wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.
Even thinking the name the Dark Lord appeared in his house in seconds.
"Ah Severus what news do you have for me?" he said slickly. Snatching up the book Severus was reading his smile vanished.
"I must kill this two and there family's. he said. And with that he apperated out of Severus house apparently to make plans. Severus had to keep Lily and Cassandra safe as well as Lily's family. Grabbing his finest robe he apperated outside of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Then there was a burst of bright light and the Headmaster appeared before Severus.
"Don't kill me!" Severus pleaded
"And why shouldn't I, you killed so may others?" the Headmaster replied.
"Because I only wish that you help me." Severus pleaded. Dumbledore looked at the young wizard before him and replied, "What is so important that I must assist you with?"
"He is going to kill them. He learned of a Prophecy and he will kill them both as well as there family and children!" he explained.
"The Prophecy only spoke of a boy and girl not two women."
"He thinks it their son and daughter!"
"If I do help what will you give me in return?"
"Anything you wish." Severus finally said.
Back to the Present
Cassandra sat down exhausted school started up just yesterday and the students were already pestering her and Severus. Who knew that almost all the students except the ones who stayed at the school didn't get their homework done.
Grumbling under her breath when she realized it was freezing she stood up and waved her wand starting the fire. Laying down on her bed she curled up in a ball not realizing someone came into the room.
Severus looked at the form on the bed curled up underneath all the blankets and snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"What do you want?" came a muffled tone.
"Just wanted to hang out."
"Since when?"
Since always."
"Why?"
"Because I love you."
"How long?"
"Forever."
Cassandra started to laugh so hard she started to cough. Severus looked very confused at his Fiance and raised an eyebrow.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"All those questions and your...your... your answers!" she replied holding her sides.
Taking deep breaths she finally calmed down enough where Severus could place a warm kiss on her lips.
Cassandra wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his entire body closer to her.
Late at night
"Harry are you sure Professor Snape is stealing the stone?" Neville asked.
"Yes...no, but that doesn't matter all that matters is we have to stop whoever is stealing it. Ah were here. Skylight." Harry said once they arrived at the Slytherin tower.
The portrait opened and Harry and Neville entered to find Gabriel, Lyla, and Lillith sitting in the common room.
"You ready?" Harry said opening his invisibility coat. Lillith nodded and they all left the tower to meet their other friends Nixie, and Arthur.
Entering the forbidden room to get past so called Fluffy the three headed dog that was already asleep and when they moved his paw they felt breath fall on them. Lillith pushed Harry and her friends down the hatch that they managed to open.
"Lumos." Lillith whispered waving her wand. Harry smiled and took her hand gently in his as she lead the way.
They all arrived in a room filled with flying keys and saw a door.
"Alohomora." Nixie said, but the door didn't opened.
"Great looks like we have to try out all those keys just to open the door since the spell didn't work." Lyla sighed.
"No, look at that on. It's got a bad wing." Gabriel pointed out.
"Yeah your right Gabe, but whose going to fly up there and get it?" Arthur asked. Everyone soon looked to Harry and Lillith who were both befuddled.
"You have got to be kidding me!?" the two said together.
"Hey it was your idea Lillith maybe you should go up there and get it since you are a seeker just like your father." Neville laughed. Lillith scowled and got on the broom and started to chase the key around until she finally got it and threw it to her friends. Opening the door the fastest they could they all flew threw it into a room filled with chess pieces.
Lillith stepped on and try to make a break for the door on the other side and was stopped by two swords.
"Merlin! You have got to be kidding me!" she yelled after Harry lifted her up.
"Looks like we have to play Wizard Chess to get through." Arthur said brushing his dirty blonde hair out of his eyes.
"Fine! Gabriel since your the best go to the Knight position. Lyla, Nixie, and I will be the queens. Neville, Harry, and Arthur you'll be the whatever is left." Lillith said calmly.
After what seemed hours they had it narrowed down to Gabriel who made the final move having Lillith call check mate.
"Lillith, Harry you need to continue we have to take Lyla and Gabriel to the Hospital Wing." Nixie said. Lillith and Harry nodded and when they were at the door Arthur called, "You two are the bravest witch and wizard we ever knew!"
Lillith smiled and grabbed Harry's hand and fled into the room where they found the person they didn't expect to find. Professor Quirrell.
"Ah they are here just as we expected Master." the Professor said.
"Remove the cover so I may see my friends." called a raspy voice.
"But master you are not str..."
"DO IT!"
Professor Quirrell removed his turbine to reveal a face on the back of his skull.
"Ah if it isn't little Lillith and Harry." the face said.
A deep growl came from Lillith, she knew exactly who it was. Voldemort. Hearing this Voldemort laughed.
"Do you really think you little puppy growl can scare me?" he mocked. Lillith laughed darkly smiling she stood taller.
"Maybe. If you believe innocent little me can destroy you when I was barely nine months old!" she hissed.
Harry took her hand gently as she started to walk forward.
"Oh so brave you are more brave then you were when I gave you that mark." he sneered. Lillith was pissed off now. Something changed about her, something that made her look demonic.
Harry looked at her astonished, her eyes turned white. She grew very protective of Harry and threatened Voldemort/ Quarrel to make a move.
"Since when were you an demon!" Voldemort gasped.
"Since the day you made me like you!" she yelled.
She jumped at him and attacked. Light burst from her hands as she burned the faces, Harry felt something in his pocket and when he felt something he pulled out a red rock.
Voldemort was enraged by this act of a young eleven year old girl and he threw her off into a wall.
Landing on her side Lillith looked up and glared darkly. Standing up she lunged once more at him landing on his back once more.
Soon the battle was over and Lillith fell to her knees weak, her wings tucked back into place. Looking over too Harry she saw him laying on the floor unconscious. Soon she was the same.
A few hours later
Lillith awoke and looked up into curious eyes of her father, mother, Professor Dumbledore, and her friends.
"How long has it been?" her mom asked. Lillith looked confused until she realized her eyes were still white. Trying to tuck them back into place she hid them from the curious views.
"Five years. I didn't want anyone to think I was a freak because I was like." she whispered. Tears started to sting her eyes as she looked away.
Harry was starting to wake at that time, Lillith sat up and walked over to him and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You alright?" she asked. Harry smiled and nodded.
"Good."
Seven Days later
Lillith sat at the Slytherin table. Turned out she wasn't a freak it was actual normal. Arthur and Lyla were both like her, so she was proud of her ability
When she heard the deep voice of Dumbledore ring across the hall she looked up at the table.
"Now we shall reward unrewarded house points. For Nixie of Ravenclaw, Lyla of Slytherin, and Neville of Gryffindor for your bravery you three are rewards ten points." he announced. Cheers came all around from everyone.
"For Hufflepuff Gabriel for your best Wizard Chess match Hogwarts has ever seen five points." Another applaud.
"And last but not least Harry Potter of Gryffindor and Lillith Evens of Slytherin. You both showed leadership and friendship unlike any other witch or wizard Hogwarts has ever had. For you 10 points." Everything was silent for two minutes and everyone started to cheer.
"The winners of the house cup is tied between Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Professor Dumbledore announced.
Everyone was excited and happy it was the first tie for the house cup in Hogwarts history.
