Well…This is Myou-Bakura, formerly known as NeoQueenRini1, with the first installment of a much better version of the Serenity Riddle series. Despite all the reviews it got, I was unhappy with it. Hopefully this one will be better. As for updates... I plan to make them as often as possible but I recently transferred to a boarding school, the Milton Hershey School if anyone has heard of it. SO until next year, when I am issued a laptop, I'm sharing four computers with 13 other girls, with the computers available maybe two hours a day, if we're lucky.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do however own Serenity Riddle.
Oh, and if you haven't read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, don't read this, you won't get it.
Prologue
A young blonde man, dressed in a long black hooded robe, slipped from his cramped hiding place as the giant rode off on his borrowed motorcycle.
"About damn time." He muttered in annoyance as he approached the wreckage of what was only hours ago, a grand house. He pulled a wand from his robe, pointing at various piles of rubbish and moving them about, as though searching for something.
"Any luck?" Called a similarly dressed black-haired man.
"None. His body is not here. He's vanished." Answered the blonde, halfheartedly lifting yet another pile of rubbish.
"Well what did you expect? He is the-HEY!" The black haired one yelped as he tripped over a board in his path, tumbling into a small hole made by the debris. He landed harshly on his side, and was greeted by a thin wail of a tiny child laying inches away.
Snickering, the blonde appeared overhead. "Have a nice trip, did you Severus?"
Severus didn't answer. He sat up and slowly reached for the child beside him, pulling her into his arms. "Shhh hush little one. Foolish of him to bring you along, as I told him. But did he ever listen to me? Nooooo...oh dear you've got a cut haven't you? Poor girl." Carefully he lifted his sleeve and wiped blood from her forehead, a crescent shaped mark revealed.
"Severus?" Called the blonde again.
Holding the little girl wrapped in his cloak, Severus apparated out of the hole, beside the blonde. Grey eyes widened in surprise.
"He brought her along!"
"So it would seem. She's an orphan now. It's going to be up to us to care for her, you know. It will be impossible to track the others, with Him gone." Said Severus, holding the whimpering child close.
"Oh no! No no no no no no!" Said Lucius, backing away. "How would I explain the sudden appearance of another child into my home? Black hair, black eyes, she'd never pass for a Malfoy!"
"Idiot. Her eyes aren't completely black. They're streaked blue. Have been since she was born." Snapped Severus, rolling his eyes.
"Still...you take her, you live alone, nobody would notice!"
"Thank you for reminding me, Lucius. Alright, I suppose there isn't any other choice. I'll just...ah bloody hell; nobody's seen that sister of mine for ages. They'll buy that it's hers." Muttered Severus.
"They'd better. The Ministry would kill her in a second if they knew..." Malfoy trailed off, eyeing the babe.
"But they don't." Stated Snape flatly. "And neither will Dumbledore, so long as nobody runs their mouth."
Lucius paused, glances at the sky and swore. "Time's up. The dunderheads have picked a perfect time to become efficient." He vanished.
"Coward." Grumbled Snape. Even so, he too left, the child cradled safely in his arms.
Ah I know it's short, but I'm working on it! It's times like these I REALLY wish I had a laptop.
