Tomorrow Fate Awaits Me
By: Shining Moonlight
Author's note- O.K. this is my first fic and hopefully not the last. It is in the time of Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail, and Prongs, but they're adults. It ties in with the stories by Sunglow, Silver~Ice, and Ron's Mistress so you might see their characters and you should read their fics, too. Thanks a lot 4 your help, guys.
Part I-
"Well, well, well," said Snape when he entered the room, looking
around for a minute or so at the occupants.
"Here we have the girlies hanging out in the luxurious common room," he said in an oily manner that matched his never-been-washed hair,
"Sunny," he looked her up and down with a nasty expression on his face, but it was noticeable that he had stopped around her chest and his eyes had opened a slight amount more. She retaliated it angrily with,
"Get off my case, Snape." And a gesture that made him stop what he was doing and look at the ground with 'hurt' written across his pale, greasy face.
"-Evie" he looked at her silvery hair in awe, dazed by it's perfection for a moment before replacing his open mouthed expression with one of revolt at her Ravenclaw heritage. She wasted no time in responding to the insulting look in saying icily,
"Well, Severus maybe you should hang out with us, too, as you're so much a women already"
"Lillian, seen James-y boy lately?" said Snape with a teasing manner, not even flinching at the comment. Lily blushed scarlet with embarrassment and anger so Sunny spoke up for her,
"Don't you care about other people's feelings, you ruthless fool!"
"And of course, Kassidy" Snape's manner changed immediately from a hateful man who's had been torn with the cruel actions of so many people in his childhood to a romantic man who was desperately in love with who he was addressing, and stared deeply into her midnight blue eyes with longing ness in his eyes, heart, and soul.
"I have an hour of time to stroll the castle grounds if you would like to leave these scumbags - I mean take a walk with me?"
"Sure-"
"No she would not!" Lily burst out in outrage, not being able to control her voice or what she said, before Kassidy could finish her statement.
"Kassidy, please finish the sentence you were saying that was to me and me only." Said Snape who sounded like a teacher who had just been interrupted, but also had a retched glare on his face and hate in his eyes.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to walk around awhile, as long as we get back in time for dinner." Snape looked amused, overjoyed and astounded all at the same time that she had agreed to what he surely hadn't bet that she would.
'But you knew she would agree', he thought,
'You knew she couldn't turn you down you sly old fox', he grinned at his intelligence. With a backward glance at her friends she headed off towards them. As soon as they had gotten as far as the stair leading down to the 1st floor they ran into Peter Pettigrew, Kassidy's boyfriend.
"Hi, Kassidy. Severus" he looked them over quickly, surveying the sight of Kassidy, his girlfriend, walking hand in hand with some loser.
"Why hello, Peter." Snape replied. Kassidy nodded her head towards him.
"And what are you two up to?" Pettigrew inquired with raised eyebrows. Kassidy thought that was a bit rude, but looked it over like she did so many of his actions.
"We're just walking around looking for Professor Trelawny to tell her that I'm visiting." She lied innocently turning on her sweet charm that worked so affectively that Pettigrew fell for it as planned and Snape positively drooled over her.
"Yes, and Kassidy was going to accompany me on my trip to my dormitory to see if it looks the same as it did back in the day."
"Oh, I'm sure you know your way up to your common room, Severus," he said matter-of-factly, "And I'll be happy to take Kassidy up to the trapdoor for you."
"But I wanted-" began Kassidy looking slightly abashed- she almost always got her own way. Her friends called her spoiled brat, but everyone knew she had lived with a wealthy aunt after her parents died in her second year and she had everything she'd ever wanted, but she handled it very well.
"No, that's fine." Mumbled Snape, looking at the floor. 'Well, I had her for a while' he thought, completely heart broken, then he trudged up the stair and Peter and Kassidy resumed walking, hand in hand.
"Now, Kassidy tell me where you were really going with Snape."
"Well, I don't exactly know-"
"Tell me, Kassidy" he stared deeply into her dark indigo-blue eyes.
"We were going… we were going… we were going," it seemed as though she was being taken over by his gaze, then she sighed deeply, "um, we were going nowhere, we were just taking up time, and having fun." 'Like any normal kind of twenty year old would do.' She thought grimly.
"Ah, I see, well, you've disappointed me, and you'll have to make up for that with a penalty of some sort. I will think of it and tell you in the morning." He paused, 'blah blah' she thought wryly.
"Good night, Kassidy." He said sternly. Kassidy was a little bit surprised at just how stern he was; she'd never seen him like this before. But there was no time to worry because they had reached the entrance to the trapdoor.

Dear Diary,
I can't believe Peter! He always acts so hesitant and bashful, but for the past week he's been giving me penalties for my "behavior" and he's been severe and looks at me as though he can see right through me and whenever he looks at me that way I always say exactly what he wants to know. I know it's not the Imperious curse because I can't hear his voice in my head, but it's definitely some sort of mind control spell. I doubt that he'd do anything involved with dark magic, and a month ago I wouldn't have believed that he'd do this, I wouldn't have believed him capable of it. And now Severus is head over heals for me and I don't know how to handle it because I'm in love with Peter, right?
Kassidy
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Um, Kass, could I, uh, speak to you alone for a minute, please?" It was Peter, 'No, no, no, not me' Kassidy thought in worthless hope.
"Sure, I guess." she responded uncertainly. She looked back at her best friend, Evie, and Evie urged her forward giving Kassidy a flood of confidence.
"Yes." she prompted.
"Wait, the moment is not right." he looked quite solemn and Kassidy wanted to get away from him as quick as she could.
"Well, I could meet you here in a half an hour, so you could decide when this 'moment' is." she suggested hesitantly already three feet away from where she stood five seconds ago. Still inching away from him, she waited for his answer, hoping, praying that he'd agree, but the answer came as,
"You will do no such thing!" he almost shouted and grabbed her arm. She swung back and he caught her. Kassidy was terrified,
'Oh no, he's going to hurt me' she thought, panicked.
"Alright, the time is precise now." he said her stiff body wrapped tightly in his arms. "Kassidy," he paused, "will you marry me and grow to be Mrs. Kassidy Pettigrew?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dear Diary,
I am getting married to Peter. Do you think this is the right thing for me to do right now? I'm not sure. When I told Evie about it she completely and utterly agreed with it. So did Sunny and Lily. They just don't understand the tempers he goes into. He has been having more out bursts and closer together lately. I am becoming fearful of him and I can't be myself around him anymore, because I'm afraid he'll get angry and shout. I'm the only thing that can sooth him and calm him down. Just by simply taking his hand and leading him away from the crowd or kissing his lips and making people notice him, he is immediately peaceful. I'm not sure, though. I'm just not sure about him.
Kassidy
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I can't believe it!"
"You guys are finally going somewhere!"
"Oh my goodness I can't believe it's true!" Kassidy and her best friends Sunny, Evie, and Lily were talking or in this case screaming in James and Lily's apartment. Kassidy had just announced the news. It had been last night, Tuesday, that Pettigrew had proposed to her.
"Let's see…" she started,
"We have a married Lily Potter, a single, yet dating Sunny Savage, a single Evie Wilson, and of course, an engaged me!" Kassidy ticked them off on her fingers.
"I'm so excited!" But inside Kassidy didn't feel very excited about her marriage. She wasn't exactly regretting it, but she wasn't entirely happy. No, she couldn't think like this, she cared for Peter too much. He was depending on her so she had to go along with it. She would never want to do anything to hurt him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the day. The day that I will lose my chance at ever dating another man again, except Peter, of course. I am having second thoughts now that it is pretty much settled. I will never date Sirius Black, I will never date Remus Lupin, not that I wanted to, but still it's something to think about. And Severus, I wonder how he's taking this. I pity him deeply, that all these years he's never had one good shot at me. Peter's always been in the way.
Kassidy ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ It was the big day. Kassidy's big day with Peter. Evie, being the maid of honor, of
course was bawling into her three hundred fifty dollar dress, but she looked more beautiful than ever. The best man, James Potter, was looking on at Pettigrew with pride in his eyes. Lily was nearly hysterical in a bright green dress to match her eyes, and Sunny was acting very subdued, but looked ravishing in a tight pink dress that matched the highlights in her hair. Sirius and Remus were looking at the ground with very odd expressions on their faces, they looked embarrassed, and Kassidy was nearly sure that a flicker of jealousy had past through Severus' eyes during the matrimony service. Now she was walking up the ailse. Now he took her hand. Now they kissed and the priest pronounced them married, husband and wife, until death would they part. It all went by in flashes, juts of color and sound, never matching or making any sense to Peter. Kassidy, instead of feeling ecstatic, felt like something was writhing deep in her stomach and was trying desperately to get back out. Peter looked her, deeply into her eyes and she felt warm, but took a step back from him absentmindedly.
"Oh, honey," Lily came up to her.
"How do you feel?"
"Oh, I'm just fine, I guess." Kassidy replied. Lily looked at her suspiciously,
"Alright."
"So we can stay at the castle for about a week and then you can move into my place, sweetheart, how does that sound?" Said Peter in a business-like manner,
"What? -Oh yeah, great." Said Kassidy unenthusiastically.
When the newly weds came back to the castle they were met with thunderous applause. It looked as though Hagrid, who had become very fond of Kassidy in the last few years, had rounded up every single staff member of Hogwarts.
"Brought you a couple o' surprises!" he yelled drunkenly.
"Thanks, Hagrid!" Kassidy shouted out. Peter didn't say anything. Hagrid grunted as Peter passed. Hagrid, of course, didn't like Peter because he had been very un-Gryfinndor-ish by resenting Hagrid in his day at school.
"Hi, I mean congratulations, Peter." Hagrid said quietly,
"Long time, no see." Peter nodded and he did back.
"Kassidy, can I see you for a moment, gamekeeper's privilege."
"Sure Ruebus. One second, Peter, honey."
"Alright, make it quick, sugar, we've still got the 'cutting the cake ceremony' to go."
Hagrid led her deep into the Forbidden Forest then swiveled around so suddenly that Kassidy jumped back a foot.
"What are you doing with that piece of trash?" Hagrid demanded quietly.
"I-I-I don't know what you mean." She breathed, suddenly realizing just how tall he really was, a good three feet taller than her.
"You know exactly what I mean. You deserve more than that worthless son of a gun. You, Kassidy Virginia, deserve more than my whole life, let alone his."

Author's Note~ I am going to keep on going with this story, because I can't leave Kassidy stuck with Wormtail! (Ew, ew, ew) And hopefully pretty soon I'll reveal some things to everybody. No big morals or anything just read it for fun, so go ahead and enjoy!
