Summary: Hikari Celeste Potter has been having strange dreams about Voldemort coming back. Which is absurd since he was destroyed 20 years ago by non other than her own father, Harry Potter. Or was he? She returns to Hogwarts as a 5th year student and learns that there are two new transfer students from Durmstrang. Hikari can't help but feel attracted to Kayin, who also shares the same last name as Tom Riddle. Could this be the same Voldemort who has been haunting her dreams for weeks? First fan fic.. Please give it a try and review!

A/N- This takes place 20 years after, and we won't be seen that much of Harry or Hermione or any of the other original characters, besides Voldemort. There will be a lot of changes, maybe even a new headmaster. So if you don't like it, don't read it. Anyway ::grins:: Enjoy! And please review, I would really like to see what you guys think, the story will get better I swear, with more suspense and romance! I would also like to thank Hoshiko for her awesome editing and ideas! Anyway... on with the story!!!

She was running through the woods. Her body aching with fatigue, wanting nothing more than to stop and rest, but she knew this was not possible. For something or someone was following her. But what? Who? She did not care. All she could think of right now is finding her way out of this forest. She could not stop, not until she found the safety of the school grounds. She suddenly looked up and saw the end of the trail; happiness filled her, giving her the strength to continue.

Suddenly her eyes widened in surprised. Her heart beat wildly against her chest as she fell onto the cold, wet ground, and pain consumed her body. She groaned and cursed the root in which she tripped on. She tried to stand up but fell back down almost instantly. Get up... GET UP!!!... A voice rang inside her head. And with all the strength she could muster she stood up. She looked up and gasped. The forest, once dark and foggy, seemed to light up and darken again at the blink of an eye. She turned around and saw that she was just steps away from safety. Hogwarts. She felt relieved and smiled. She took two steps but stopped. She couldn't move. It was as if her body had been paralyzed. She felt a chill find its way down her back as she felt a voice as cold as winter's breathe fill her mind.

Hikari...Hikari

She reached down to her robes for her wand but she couldn't find it. Frustration hit her as she tried to move, but her feet seemed to ignore her. Damn, where's my wand

"Hikari...Hikari..." The voice continued, this time bringing her agonizing pain that made her fall once more. Suddenly, there was laughter that seemed to mock her. She tried standing up, defying the strange but powerful voice. She supported herself on a tree branch nearby and stood up once more. Weakness, cold and loneliness consumed her. But she was determined not to let this mysterious voice bring her down.

"You don't scare me," She heard herself shouting, "Show yourself, you coward!"

Once again the laughter seemed to fill her mind. Once again she felt her legs grow weak as the excruciating pain filled her body. She fell down onto her knees, her breathing becoming ragged. She looked up and spotted a shadowed figured coming towards her. The figure was wearing a long black cloak that reached down to his feet and a hood that covered his head making it hard to see his face. All she saw was darkness, except for the two bright red eyes, as that of a serpent that seemed to glow as he walked. In his right hand he held what appeared to be his wand, and in the other he held hers. She shook her head in horror as he lifted his wand, ready to attack.

"No....it can't be...you...you're dead" She whispered as she shook her head once more, fear clearly shown in her eyes as her voice whispered his name, "Voldemort

The voice laughed once again. And she collapsed. Then... darkness consumed her.

Sixteen-year-old Hikari Celesta Potter awoke with a start. Sweat, finding its way down her face, her breathing fast and heavy. It's that dream again, that cursed dream that's been haunting me for weeks. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked over toward her lamp stand at her alarm clock, 6:30. She sat up and tried to gather her thoughts. She was still breathing heavily although it wasn't as fast as before and her heartbeat had slowed down, almost to normal.

It couldn't be. Voldemort was dead. He was destroyed by non other than her own her father, the famous and most powerful wizard in the world, the-boy-who-lived, Harry James Potter. She smirked proudly to herself as she thought of him. When she was a little her mother, Hermione Grace Potter, would always tell Kari about her father's accomplishments in his last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The last year anyone had to endure Voldemorts wrath.

The year Voldemort was killed. It was a fierce and hard battle for Harry Potter and he sometimes claim that he wouldn't have done it without Hermione. It was also the year that he realized his love for her. The year he knew that they would spend the rest of their lives together. Harry and Hermione, the most powerful wizarding couple of their time, since James and Lily Potter themselves, were soon married and had a son and a daughter.

Now, twenty years later, after Voldemort's death, her father and mother were working as Aurors, the best and most powerful.

Hikari found herself getting out of bed and out of her thoughts as she walked into her bathroom for a quick shower. The scent of strawberries and kiwi filled her nostrils. She stripped out of her nightgown and got into the tub. Hot water soon spilled out of the faucet and washed away all her fears and worries she had experienced just moments ago.

She wouldn't let something as stupid as a dream about Voldemort returning affect her. Sure, it was kind of weird that she would be having them in the first place, and frequently on top of it. But it's all coincidence! Maybe she was just studying too hard. The Homework for the summer was overwhelming and had frustrated her.

She got out of the shower after fifteen minutes and was glad she had taken it. She felt much better now. As she was drying herself off, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked more like her father than her mother. Same raven-black hair, though it wasn't as messy as his. It was more like her mothers, long and silky. Her eyes were a vibrant emerald-green. Her skin was smooth and soft. No acne scarred her beautiful face. Her body was well developed, with full breasts and a small waist. She looked simply gorgeous. She smiled but suddenly found herself frowning. Then why was it that no guy ever asked her out? She suddenly rolled her eyes as one name popped into her head. Damien Alexander Potter.

Unlike Hikari, Damien looked more like their mother. With curly sandy brown hair, soft chocolate-brown eyes, and a gorgeous smile that made every girl go crazy. His talent as a great seeker had earned him great respect and a couple of fan clubs. Damien Potter, her annoying older brother had every girl in Hogwarts chasing after him.

"Not anymore" Hikari thought out loud as she smiled wickedly.

Her lovable prick of a brother had finished his Seventh year at Hogwarts, and would soon be going to the Ministry to apply for a job as an Auror. She sighed in relief. Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad after all, maybe some guy would actually pluck up the courage to ask me out since Damien would not be there to threaten him, she thought as she walked out, a towel wrapped around the body.

As soon as she entered her room she noticed something moving by her window. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion and grabbed her wand. She was about to yell out a curse when she saw a regal black owl fly inside her room and land on her bed.

"Aries, you scared me half to death!" She exclaimed, and then smiled as she sat on her bed. "So what do you have for me?"

Aries flew over to her lap, placing a piece of parchment that was in his beak in her hand. Hikari smiled at the bird and stroked his head. Aries pecked her hand in affection, and flew over to where Audra, Hikari's own silver owl, was having her early breakfast.

She put the letter down and went to her closet to pick out an outfit. After a full ten minutes she decided on a pair of tight black jeans, chains hanging below her navel and wrapping themselves around her waist and a strapless green top that brought out her eyes. She grinned, as she positioned herself comfortably on her stomach to read what Athena Courtney Malfoy, one of her best friends, had written.

Kari,

Hey girly, what's up? Nothing here; bored, bored, bored, bored, and did I mention I'm rather bored? Ugh, Mum and Father are out of town for the week, which is good, don't get me wrong, but IT'S SO BORING! The house elves are no fun to play with anymore and the portraits are annoying as ever before. Off the record, Malfoy Manor is boring. Yes, you read correctly, boring. I've done all there is to do, annoyed all there is to annoy, and even talked to all the damn house elves and learned all there is to know about their damn family and how long they've been working for my damn family.

My summer though, apart from being bored out of my mind at the moment, has been wonderful. Got to go to Greece and Italy, the guys there are hot as hell. Yes, I am smirking as I write this. Had a run in with a guy name Fernando; damn he was a good kisser. Of course, Father has no clue, and probably would flip if he did. Hm, wonder if there will be any hot guys at Hogwarts this year, ugh hopefully.

I hope you had a great summer, chic. Get me out of here soon, please. I beg of you, yes you read correctly, a Malfoy is begging, damn...don't let Uncle Harry know that or let my Father know. Later!

Athena

(Who is really bored out of her mind and is about to actually start her summer homework...)

Kari laughed as she read the letter and made a mental note to ask Mum if it were ok if Athena could come over for the remaining of the summer. She got out of bed and sat at her desk, taking out a piece of parchment, a feather and ink.

Hey Athena,

What's up? So Malfoy Manor is empty for once. That's a first! Well my summer hasn't been all that fun either. I've been stuck doing Homework, and visiting Mum's family in America. It was fun, I guess. The guys over there are real cute. But none seem to interested in me. What's the point with Damien around? But I'll definitely ask Mum for you to spend the rest of the summer here, since there's only one week left. I don't think she'll mind anyway, so start packing your bags. It's always fun to have to around! C-ya!

Kari

(Who is as equally bored, but unlike Athena has finished her summer homework...hehe)

She looked over at Aries who was sound asleep with Audra right next to him. Hikari smiled and went over to them.

"Hey. Wake up sleepy heads" She said as she poked them both on the ribs. Aries woke up instantly, unlike Audra, who still refused to wake up. Hikari shrugged and gave Aries the piece of parchment.

"Thanks, Aries; and be careful" She grabbed the owl gently and went to the window to see him fly away. Hikari smirked at the thought of having Athena come over. At least her summer would get more interesting once she came.

"Kari, wake up breakfast's ready!!" Kari jumped as soon as she heard her mother's voice. "Coming, Mum!" She replied and headed downstairs for breakfast.

A/N- Please... Review, Review, Review!!!
