TEASER:

Hermione and Ron lifted their heads when they heard the urgent running steps. A girl muttering to herself. Harry and the dying Severus turned their heads, after he'd given Harry the memories in a tear. The girl had black hair, with a wildness that put both Bellatrix and Hermione to shame. She had paper white skin, but unnaturally blue eyes.

"No..." The choked plea came.

Severus tried to gasp out her name, but he failed. Harry stepped back, as the girl knelt next to Severus, her hand replacing his holding the cloth to Severus' neck.

"You can't..." She choked, Hermione barely recognizing a Greek accent, "...Lily...Jimmy...Remy...Siri...Dora..."

The girl shook wild black hair. Hermione bit back a sob, confused when a red drop hit her hand. Severus tried all he could to lift a weakening hand.

"Don't..." He gurgled, "don't cry...for me..."

The girl placed a kiss on Severus' lips. Harry didn't see the light leave the man's eyes, but it was clear to tell he was dead when his hand dropped from her face. Harry and Ron pulled Hermione between them when the grounds under their feet began to shake. The girl looked up at the ceiling, black and purple and red mist beat at the windows. The girl opened her mouth, took a breath...

All of Olympus shook, every God and Goddess stopping in their tracks as the most painful, gut churning and heart wrenching cry reached their ears.

For Harry, it would soon be deja-vu. They watched as she gathered Severus Snape's body to her chest, rocking as she cried and screamed. Slender black and purple wings seemed to 'melt' into existence, as a glamour dropped. Her wings seemed to have a faint green shimmer, as did her hair. Her skin looked more tan, as well.

Aphrodite clutched her chest, she and Cupid falling to their knees, almost convulsing with the pain the girl was feeling. Strife watched from Elysia as his daughter mourned with an intensity that was only seen on Olympus, the day that he died...the mourner being his own mother.

Every single home in the magical world, not exclusive to Britain, could hear the scream, the crying, treated to a holographic display of the black haired and blue eyed girl cradled the bloody body of Severus Snape.

She pressed one final kiss to his forehead, before gently laying him down. She stood and turned to Hermione.

"Take care of him for me," She spoke, her voice cracked and shaky, then she looked to Harry, "when a certain stone comes to you...tell Lily girl that I'm sorry...I couldn't protect him..."

She disappeared in a black, purple and red light. The trio paused, before Ron actually approached the body.
