Serenity

Prologue..
It was a dark, gloomy night. Charles Beckinsale and Tess Riddle were playing with their daughter, Serenity. She was born on September 14, 1983. A fortune teller told Tess that her daughter would be a great witch. Serenity is now one years old, and she mastered the art of telekinesis.
Just then, there was a bright emerald light coming through the keyhole. A wizard was trying to break in. Charles and Tess were both members of the Order; the wizard and witch below Dumbledore. They quickly grabbed their wand and went into action. Since it was the dark days, when Lord Voldemort is in reign, they deversed a plan just in case. Tess would take Serenity to the nursery and lock her there. Then she would join Charles in a battle.
"Be quiet for mummy, okay?" Tess said as she put Serenity in her cradle. Tess locked the door and put a charm on it so no one would get through. She quickly ran down the stairs to see Charles staring at a dark hooded wizard.
"Who arre you and whyyyy are you here?" Charles asked. "I'm here for what belongs to me, Tess Riddle," said the dark hooded wizard.
"Show yourself before I know who to choose," Tess said bravely. As the hood came off, they were both out of breath. "Brother, what to you want?"
"I have come to take you away from this dirty blood, sister," said the dark hooded man. He quickly grabbed Tess's wrist and started to walk to the door, but Charles was holding Tess's other wrist and wasn't letting go.
"Let go, you bastard," said the dark hooded man. When Charles didn't move, he took out his wand. "Avada Kedavara!" he said, and green spray of light exited out of the dark hooded man's wand. The light was suppose to go the Charles, but it didn't hit him at all. On the ground, Tess lies motionless. Tess has blocked the curse from Charles. Tess was dead. "Sister, wake up. This isn't a joke," the dark hooded man said. Charles knelt down to see Tess's face. Tears were forming on both of the men's eyes. He checked to see if there was a pulse. Charles cried even harder. The dark hooded man quickly shed his tears. "This is all your fault, dirty blood. You will pay for what you made my sister do!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Just promise me one thing, brother-in-law, protect Serenity. She's up in her nursery. Just protect her," said Charles as he braced his death. The green stream of light hit him, instantly killing Charles Beckinsale. The dark hooded man went up to the nursery. He undid the special charm his sister put on the door. They made the charm up together. As he entered, he was greeted by a bright blue-eyed little girl playing with a doll. He picked her up with gentle care. Serenity laughed a little as he made some silly sounds. "I'll always take care of you, my niece. I'll always love you," he said as he apparated to the footstep of one of his trusted followers. Usually, he wouldn't do this, but this was the only way to keep his niece away from him. He rang the doorbell and as the door opened, he was greeted with a shocked look. "What are you doing here?" Serveus Snape asked, "If you are here to kill me then get it over with." " I know you and my sister were best friends. She died tonight with her husband," said the dark hooded man. "What about their child, Serenity?" Snape asked with a sorrowful look on his face. The dark hooded man revealed the tiny toddler from under is robe. "I want you to be her legal guardian. You're the only one that I can trust with her," he said. Without waiting for an answer, the dark hooded man handed Serenity to Snape and apparated. Snape, in total complete shock, decided to raise Serenity like her own. "Welcome home, Serenity."
