* In the first chapter I wrote that Hermione was in Ravenclaw and Gryffindor- she's not she's only in Gryffindor the 3rd member of the Ravenclaw trio is a oc called Holly May. And Carter has really gorgeous blue eyes. So disregard her eye colours from chapter one.* carter looks sort of like Bridget Reagan.

Carter practically ran to breakfast the next day she was expecting mail from her best friend from school Nymphadora Tonks so she left the rooms she shared with Snape and Sinistra and fled to the great hall. Composing herself she strode in.

Hardly any students were up but unfortunately Umbridge was.

"Hem, hem" the toad coughed in that irritating way of hers when Carter ignored her and sat as far away as possible.

"Yes Professor" Carter answered

"Your robes where are they?"

"Umm I don't teach in robes" Carter replied

Umbridge took in the darkish blue skinny jeans carefully tucked into a pair of black boots, the t-shirt that was bright blue with the phrase – Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult- written on it. Then Umbridge took in the black waistcoat and hat. Then she frowned.

"Why not?"

"Well at the minute I'm teaching muggle studies, ancient runes and umm…"

"Umm what?"

"I can't run all that fast in them."

"Why would you need to-"

Umbridge never got to finish her sentence because Carter had grabbed some toast and ran for it.

About half an hour later.

Carter found herself back in the great hall not a toad in sight; she slipped in next to Sinistra and got herself some breakfast.

"Mail's here!" came the excited cry of a first year.

Carter reached up as her hawk, Jelly, flew down to her.

Dear Carter,

Oh my god. You will never believe what happened to me. Go one guess…(carter rolled her eyes) oh yeah… anyway you know Charlie…(carter rolled her eyes) of course you do we were all pretty close at Hogwarts you me, Charlie and nick- anyway, Charlie asked me to marry him…

I said yes! I your beloved Tonks, who by the way has forgiven you for not visiting in like forever, am getting married! And moving to Romania! ("WHAT" carter yelled startling the majority of students)

Don't freak out. Deep breaths. Okay. I want you to be one of my bridesmaids. I know I know you protest dresses but please! I will love you for like forever. Oh and tell Auriga she's a bridesmaid as well then tell Ron to tell his family because I forgot to mail them.

Speaking of Auriga is she screwing Snape yet? If not you should come over Friday night and that traditional firewhiskey Friday you guys have do the rest.

Need to hear from you soon with all the New Year gossip!

Love Tonks xx

P.S- please be my bridesmaid.

"Whose the letter from?" asked Auriga

"Tonks" I said grinning, "she's getting married"

Snape choked on his juice and Sinistra's face split into a huge grin.
"Cough up Snape I told you Tonks would get married first"

"Technically she's not married yet." Snape choked out

"We could ask the house elves." She sang sweetly

The house elves over saw all bets made between teachers throughout the year.

"No I'll give you your money"

As Snape handed 13 galleons over to Auriga, Umbridge huffed into the room red in the face, panting and gasping for air.

"Well I should probably leave now…" whispered Carter

Snape never got to ask why because she had leapt up and fled through the side door.

That night found Carter sitting on a rock by the lake, Tonks's letter had got her thinking. Back to her time at Hogwarts and her best friend Nick and thinking of nick made her think of a time when she had been Lyra Emrys Le Fay Pendragon, she hadn't used that name since she was seven. Her homeland was at war she recalled, Sev had been in seventh year, when the call came. Camelot was under attack. Sev had ran to the castle and fled with her, Nickolai and the other children to the border.

Carter shuddered as she remembered watching her uncle's village burn to the ground. She used her blood to cross the border into this part of the world and sealed it behind her. From then on she was Carter Smith, half-blood not the heir to the most legendary mage's in the history of magic, with blood of all breeds inside her, from her ancestral lines refusing to be inbred.

'Our world is hidden from this world as this world is hidden from the muggles' Sev had once told her. - Like those china dolls that stack inside each other.

Merlin! she missed Nick. Nikolai McGonagall broad shoulder, well-muscled, brown hair, brown eyes… (Think Craig Horner) nephew of the transfiguration professor had crossed the border 8 years ago (they were 17 now carter is 25) with the parting message I'll be back in a few days!

He wasn't dead, she'd know if he was.

Thinking of the last time she saw nick made her think of her Hogwarts graduation and the fact she had been erased from the memory of staff and student alike - Minus the slytherins, Tonks, Charlie, Snape, Sinistra and Nick due to a prank from the Marauders- James and Sirius.

She was going to leave as most infamous person to walk the halls – slytherins' queen, prankster extraordinaire, star seeker, head girl and quidditch captain – they made sure she left no trace apart from the delusions of slytherins. Thrusting Charlie Weasley into the spotlight as Star seeker which he was, Carter was the only one who could beat him.

But she thanked Potter and Black. In erasing her from the rest of the school she became a legend in Slytherin House. Every new Slytherin was told the story of the Silver Seeker and how one day she would return, take her broom from the wall and restore slytherin house to goodness once more… Many had tried to take the broom from the glass cabinet it resided in, but none succeeded. Her father had made her broom and had infused part of her magic into its core allowing it to respond to her every need.

FLASHBACK

7th year quidditch final – G vs S

Carter pointed the broom straight at the ground where the snitch was and shot like a bullet toward it.

'STOP" she commanded.

The broom stopped Carter however didn't.

She was in freefall- a perfect dive – the game stopped to see another amazing catch. Charlie sped up trying desperately to reach the fluttery ball first.

Carter's hand reached around the snitch mere feet from the ground, her other hand pointed her wand at the ground.

"STUPEFY"

The close contact of the spell forced her to shoot back into the sky like a rocket.

Pocketing her wand Carter let the euphoria wash over her raising her arm to the cheers of slytherin. She had done it for seven years she had been unbeatable, and in her victory slytherin reigned undefeated

"Here boy" she whistled and her broom floated towards her.

END FLASHBACK

She had broken records and rules unstoppably; she had broken the boundaries between houses and made Filch a pleasanter man. The marauders had ripped that away and Hogwarts knew it even if no one else did, but they had given Slytherin proof that they weren't the evil house.
