AN: Greetings everyone, sorry for the infrequent updates but I am extremely busy right now, with finals approaching and all. But I do try to write in my free time. I also apologize for the small mistake last chapter. Quirrel meant to say Cain. I also find it a bit funny that because of that mistake I got the most reviews for a chapter so far lol.

Anyway ill answer some reviews:

Guest, Dweiathecat, Danget the Critic (nice name btw), Sakura Liesal: Thank you for pointing out my mistake with the last name, I'll correct the mistake soon.

WinxPossible – Thank you for your honest criticism without going to flaming. To be pretty honest I only really read my chapters once before posting, I do enough correcting on my college essays lol. But I'll try harder in the future to correct inconsistences.

Danget the Critic: Thanks for pointing out some of the inconsistances. I have very little knowledge of the Euro since I am American, so if you are European I apologize xD. Also once again sorry for mistaking her last name.

Thank you all for your comments and non-flame critics. I really appreciate it. But that aside you really don't care about that and so I shall let you get to the part you really care about:

Chapter 4

Book 1:

Lilith Cain and the Feast of Souls

The Wolf among Sheep

"SLYTHERIN!" The Hat shouted to the hall. Lilith nearly felt everyone's surprise. It had been fifty years since a muggleborn had been sorted into the house of the snakes after all.

She smirked lightly as she walked, she would enjoy putting all the arrogant purebloods in their place. She made sure to focus on the faces of the kids sneering in her direction, they would be the most likely people to try and do something to her.

She may be a ghoul but she was not invincible.

She sat herself at the end of her table and proceeded to ignore her housemates to turn her attention to the teacher table, or rather, the only professors that drew her attention. She immediately noticed the esteemed Albus Dumbledore, wildly known as the most powerful light wizard of the age. Personally she had no problem with the old man but he would most likely be her most dangerous enemy if her status as a ghoul was revealed.

She shifted her eyes away from Dumbledore to the professor to his immediate left and narrowed them in hatred. Lily Potter was sitting there as calm as can be, watching the other first years be sorted. She saw no signs of depression, anxiety, or even curiosity as she watched the kids be sorted.

"William Potter" Lilith turned her gaze from her mother… to focus on her brother. Honestly if she actually cared about the matter she had no problem with her brother. He was as victim of circumstance as she was. But the problem was she didn't care. She was broken from petty reason long ago. Now she only wanted to consume everything about her past, and that included her dearest brother.

However, she was patient. She knew she had next to no chance of killing her abandoners while at Hogwarts. Even if she managed to kill her mother or brother at her current she would have to get out of the school of hundreds of students.

"GRYFFINDOR!" She was broken from her thoughts as William smugly walked over to the table at the opposite side of the room.

Well that was a surprise.

Truly. It couldn't have been more of a shock.

She stopped paying attention to the sorting after her brother. Only taking brief notice that Hermione being sorting to Gryffindor as well. No doubt wanting to follow her dearest brother.

Eventually the last student was sorted and Dumbledore stood up to address the students. His eyes twinkled blue as he addressed the students "I want to say a few words before we begin this scrumptious feast, but I am afraid there is a time and place for everything and this is not it, let the feast begin!" Everyone cheered and began eating and conversing with their fellow students.

Lilith grimaced as the smell of so much food filled her nose and she grabbed a pork chop and nothing else. She began eating while ignoring her other students who made conversation around her. Well she did until she heard two students whispering a little bit away.

"I can't believe a mudblood got sorted into our house. It's such a disgrace." A blond boy said to anyone who would listen beside him. She let this continue for ten minutes of solid bullshit before directing her killing intent at the walking gel advertisement.

She had discovered how to channel her hunger into killing intent a year after her father died when she killed a pedophile. It was quite the useful ability for situations such as this.

She directed all of her killing intent at the platinum blond, making him and all those around the ponce flinch. She smirked before turning her attention back to the pork chop. It tasted extremely bland to her but at least she would be able to digest it.

Eventually the food disappeared, much to her relief. She turned her head to watch as Dumbledore stood up to address the school "Now that we are all fed and watered, I have a few school announcements to make. First, the Forbidden Forest is naturally forbidden to everyone. In addition, the third floor corridor is forbidden to all students who do not wish to die a painful death." He stared severely at all four tables to further his point before continuing "Now, I am sure you all are tired so off to bed, off you trot!" With a flourish of sparkling blue robes the eccentric headmaster walked out a side door.

Lilith stood up, laughing internally, the headmaster was as mad as the rumors suggested. Though she could not blame the man, all powerful people had quirks from what she read. "All first years follow me to the common room." She focused on the prefect and followed the rest of the Slytherins.

(Slytherin Common Room)

The first year Slytherins all gathered in the common room located near the dungeons, whispering to their new acquaintances as they looked around the large gathering area.

The male Prefect looked over the gathered first years before speaking "Welcome to the Slytherin common room. The girl's rooms are on the left while the boy's rooms are on the right. You each get an individual room, unlike the other houses we appreciate our privacy, much easier to hatch cunning plans that way." This brought a few laughs from the assembled group.

Eventually after giving a few more ground rules:

No arguments outside the common room.

Always show a united front in public.

Don't get caught.

All in all she thought it was fair. It basically said do whatever you want as long as you don't get caught. Easy enough. She may be a bloodthirsty ghoul but she had her morals. Plus she wanted to learn magic, so therefore she would try not to cause too much chaos.

Though if she saw a chance to take a bite out of her family…well, no one was perfect. She then was lost in her thoughts of a large dining table with the heads of William, Lily, and James on the plates before her fantasy was broken by an arrogant voice "I can't believe a filthy mudblood was sorted into Slytherin. The hat must be broken."

She turned to see the blond haired moron with his two pet gorillas she had overheard talking shit to her at the feast. It seemed she would have to teach him a lesson.

With her best innocent smile she turned to the prefect who was answering questions "Prefect? You said that everything was to be kept inside the common room correct?"

The boy, Marcus Flint, looked over and nodded before turning to talk to another first year. Still smiling sweetly she turned her attention to the still sneering Malfoy before grabbing his head and kneed the brat in the stomach. Normally she would have gone for the nose but she didn't want any signs to show outside of the robes.

With a grunt of pain Malfoy fell to the floor and she stomped on his crotch, earning a pained squeal from the boy.

With a sigh of pleasure she smiled beautifully at the other Slytherins "Does anyone else have any problem with me being the daughter of a mundane?" Everyone in the room was wide eyed at the brutality of the muggleborn. Normally Slytherins would get back at anyone who offended them in nonviolent, but still humiliating ways.

On the ground Draco managed to wheeze past his pains "J-just wait for my *gasp* father to hear about this!"

Lilith finally dropped her smile and gained an ugly look as she squatted near the brats head and pulled him up by his over gelled head and glared at him "Look, I wouldn't give a damn if your dad was god. As you so eloquently put it I am a muggle born, while your father grew up solely in the wizarding world. He can't do anything to me. I could simply walk out of the Leaky Cauldron and he would never be able to find me."

Draco paled slightly, he barely knew anything outside of the wizarding world and knew she would be able to disappear perfectly.

Lilith smirked as she dropped the arrogant Malfoy "But I have no intention of getting expelled, which I know your father could arrange if I took you down a peg, literally." She sent an especially bloodthirsty look at the boy who paled further as the implications hit him of her meaning.

"But I'm a nice girl, so if you ignore me I'll gladly do the same, got it?" She snarled down at the arrogant ponce.

Draco nodded fearfully and she turned to his two goons who she had pinned with her killing intent "you two, take him and scram." Crabbe and Goyle nodded fearfully before the three ran into the boy's sleeping area.

She sighed, really no spine. At least the criminals she consumed in the past put up a fight. She looked around the room and saw quite a few fearful gazes from the first years and approving looks from the upper years. She assumed that most of them disliked the ponce since he had been bragging almost nonstop earlier about being the "Prince of Slytherin house."

She walked elegantly to her room, ignoring the whispering as she closed the door behind her. She knew she would have to make a statement that she would not tolerate any bullying when she heard of the rampant racism and bigotry expressed by the pureblood community.

She had simply used the Malfoy as a scapegoat for her message since she had heard the upper years at the table with her advanced hearing insulting the Malfoy heir for being a "Gryffindor in Slytherin colors."

Lilith sighed as she unpacked before laying down on her bed, things would certainly grow more interesting as the year progressed. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, it had been an exhausting day after all.

(Headmaster's office)

Dumbledore frowned as he contemplated the start of the year. Everything was going to plan, Voldemort had taken the bait and was now at Hogwarts seeking the fake Philosophers stone. The only problem he could see where students looking too deeply into the situation and trying to take matters into their own hands. He had made sure that all of the first few defenses would be easily survivable by the students Fluffy the Cerberus was trained not to attack children and Sprout's challenge was easily disabled since first years studied the plant.

The next challenges were designed to be impossible for the rest of the years. Many could not even ride a broom, much less catch a single key out of hundreds and Minerva's chessboard was set for master level, only someone of chess mastery of his level could pass it.

What were the chances of a master flyer, tactician, and logic expert could team up among the students to get past his defenses?

No, only a teacher, in this case Voldemort, would be able to pass through them without getting caught. Tom, too arrogant to think the traps are not strong enough, would find the fake stone and then immediately use it to try and gain a body, without ever suspecting that the gem was designed to contain ghosts and wraiths.

By the end of the year Tom Riddle would finally be brought to justice.

(Lily Potter's Office)

Lily sighed as she stared at a picture of a baby picture of two babies in her arms. It had been five years since she received word that her sister died in a car accident. She had rushed to Privet drive searching for her daughter but found out that Lilith had been in the car with the rest of the Dursleys.

She had cried for days after learning that her only daughter had died. She stayed up for nights on ending wondering what could have happened if they hadn't sent her sweet Lilith to her relatives for her safety.

She and her husband James had decided it was not safe for Lilith in the wizarding world. Not only were there quite a few death eaters still out there, who all wished for her family's heads on a platter.

However what really sealed the deal to send her away was the new set of laws that the Ministry released after the war. After the war the Ministry had released new laws that any pureblood daughter had to marry by the age of 16. This was to help the dwindling population of pure bloods after the wars with Voldemort.

They had decided to erase the existence of their daughter to protect her from the law by sending her to her relatives until she came to Hogwarts. Then they would in secret reveal themselves to the girl and after her 17th birthday, reveal themselves to the girl.

They expected her to hate them and reject them outright, but they had prepared for their girl's future. They made a trust vault, paid for her education, and gave money to the Dursley's for the care of their daughter.

They had prepared themselves for many years of trying to re-connect with their daughter, but then came the crash.

When they heard of the incident they rushed to Dumbledore's office to look at the Hogwarts's registry, which records every student who will be going to Hogwarts. They opened the book to Lilith's first year only to see their daughter's name had disappeared. The only name that was close was Lilith Cain, the adopted daughter of a prominent muggle doctor.

After being depressed for days they decided not to tell William about his dead sister and removed her existence from the world.

To try and atone for their crimes they did not have any more children, despite in their youth wanting a large family.

Lily felt tears trail down her cheek and did not bother to wipe them away.

All she could do was think of happier times and pray for when she died her daughter could have it in her heart to forgive her.

She went to sleep that night with dreams of a red haired girl with bright green eyes holding hands with the rest of the family, content with their lives.

(Great Hall – 9 AM)

Lilith yawned into her hand as she looked around the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Many of the students had woken up and had made their way to the great hall for breakfast. The Slytherin students all giving her a wide birth as they sat down, the memory of last night still in their minds.

Now who is superior? The inbred cowards.

"Your schedule, Miss Cain." A deep voice said behind her. She turned to see Professor Snape offering her a piece of parchment with her class schedule.

"Thank you Professor." She said sweetly with her eyes closed as she took the piece of paper. She had developed a habit of closing her eyes whenever she smiled after discovering her eyes still retained her inner bloodlust.

To hide her bloodlust she bought a pair of enchanted glasses in Diagon alley. Not only did it help her "innocent" mask but it also hid the bloodlust in her eyes. She had taken the idea from Aizen from Bleach.

Not that she shared any similarities to the master manipulator. Not at all.

She looked over her schedule and frowned, were the teachers trying to encourage the split between Gryffindor and Slytherin?

Monday:

Transfiguration – Gryffindor/Slytherin 10-11

Charms – Gryffindor/Slytherin 11:30 – 12:30

Lunch

Potions Gryffindor/Slytherin 1:30 – 3

DADA Gryffindor/Slytherin 3:30 – 4:30

Lilith frowned at the schedule. She knew that the houses rotate with each other but for the entire first day to be nothing but Slytherins with Gryffindor? What a way to get first impressions of each other.

She sighed, not that she cared about the stupid house rivalry. She was just here to learn magic to evade the CCG and possibly gain revenge against her family.

A bunch of first year brats are simply unimportant in the long run.

(Transfiguration)

Lilith entered the classroom ten minutes early and paused when she did not see the teacher in the room. Only a few Slytherins and a Gryffindor were here as well as a cat on the teacher's desk. 'A cat?' she wondered as she sniffed the air as she sat down. It smelled like a cat, but it also smelled like professor McGonagall. Perhaps it was her cat?

The class waited ten minutes as the red and gold wearing students rushed into the room as well as a couple of green and silvers. It was not until five minutes after class started when her brother and his sidekick Rowan something or other, rushed into the room.

"We made it! It's a good thing the teacher isn't here." William gasped as they skidded to a halt in the room, much to the amusement of the Slytherins and the annoyance of Granger.

Right as he finished his sentence the cat jumped off the chair and transformed into Professor McGonagall. Ignoring the shocked looked of her students she addressed the boy who lived and Robert, scolding them for being late before sending them to their seats.

Lilith found the subject of transfiguration fascinating, but what really caught her interest was when McGonagall transfigured her desk into a pig. If she could transform a desk into a pig, could she transform it into a human?

She raised her hand and when the Professor addressed her she posed her question carefully "Professor, is it possible to transform objects into other biological beings, such as a human?"

McGonagall nodded "Indeed Miss Cain, human transfiguration is possible, if a difficult art. Quite a few master transfiguration witches and wizards could create entire armies of people to defend them. One such wizard is our Headmaster who transfigured hundreds of soldiers in World War Two to defeat Grindewald's dark forces.

The class was in awe of that information while Lilith was contemplative. If she could transform anything into humans she could have an endless food supply without any of the disadvantages or morals involved. She knew then that Transfiguration would be her main focus. The chance of an endless food supply was too promising to not work for.

"Now, you all are far away from any large transfiguration so today you will be doing an introductory exorcise to transfiguration; transforming a match into a needle. This may seem mundane compared to higher level transfiguration but it is vital for you all to learn how to transfigure base materials into one another before we move on." McGonagall explained as she demonstrated the transformation, turning an enlarged match into a perfect needle.

Once they each received a match they began practicing the spell.

Lilith looked at the needle and raised her wand and waved it over the needle while whispering the spell that McGonagall taught the class.

Nothing happened.

She frowned as she observed her match, she had performed the wand movements correctly and pronounced the phrase correctly.

Who knew that Latin class that she signed up for could be so useful?

She tried to think of the issue and remembered from her magic theory book that the user's desire affected the spell. Perhaps she had simply been missing the will to bring the spell into reality. She looked back down at the match and waved her wand again and directed her will at the match, envisioning it turn from a match into a needle.

The match was now a perfect needle.

She smirked slightly as the teacher came over to view her progress. McGonagall looked down at the perfect needle and gave a small smile the muggleborn Slytherin "Well done Miss Cain, five points to Slytherin for your transfiguration work."

There were some grumbles around the room. Slytherins not liking being shown up and Gryffindor because a Slytherin had outdone them.

By the end of the class only Granger and a Slytherin boy named Blaise Zabini, another Slytherin first year, had completed the task.

McGonagall addressed the class after they finished packing their books away "Now, since it is the first day I will not assign homework but I expect you all to practice your transfiguration and be able to transfigure the match by next week. If you need any assistance feel free to come to my office at an appropriate time."

Lilith walked out of the classroom and headed out to the charms classroom but was stopped by a voice behind her "Hey, Lilith. Can we speak for a minute?" She turned to see Blaise talking to her.

Curious to what he wanted she nodded and they walked into an unused classroom. When she closed the door Blaise began speaking "Hello Lilith, you may not know but my name is Blaise Zabini, and I was wondering if you wished to form a partnership of sorts."

Lilith raised an eyebrow, she knew that Slytherins liked to form alliances in the house but she did not know why Blaise would choose her, especially seeing how he was a pureblood.

As if anticipating the question Blaise answered "My family has never cared about one's birth. All the Zabini family cares about is the strength of those we partner with. And you are proving to be very powerful in the future."

Lilith contemplated his offer, she never really cared for politics but it would be nice to have someone to talk too. And Zabini seemed intelligent and nice enough not to get on her nerves. She looked back at the olive skinned first year and nodded "I don't see why not. I would love to be your friend."

Blaise nodded, looking pleased, as they began walking out of the classroom and towards their charms class. He began to explain things about himself as they walked. Such as his mother, Sabrina Zabini who was the head of the ancient Zabini family. That they were from Italy but decided that Blaise should study abroad to learn other cultures and make connections with strong wizards and witches in Britain.

In return she explained an extremely edited childhood she had come up with, how she was abandoned as a child and adopted by a prominent doctor, who had then died from a street gang.

Naturally she did not mention her status as a Ghoul. That would not be very conductive of a friendship if he found out he was trying to make connections with a cannibal.

(Charms)

The class was interesting, but not as much as Transfiguration. Despite her hatred of Lily as a person, she could respect her as a teacher. Lilith could see this becoming one of her favorite classes if the professor managed to make even theory sound fascinating.

They did not practice any charms but Lily mentioned that next week they would start practicing minor charms and even demonstrated one that they would eventually learn; the Wingardium Leviosa.

Once the class was over the two Slytherins made their way down to the dungeons for their next class.

(Potions)

This was one of the classes that she was most interested in. When she had learned she was a witch the first thought that came to her head was potion making. Her favorite class in school had been chemistry after all.

They sat down in the dark classroom and waited for the potions master to arrive. Lilith glanced around the room and noticed everyone had arrived on time, including her former brother.

Beside her, Blaise whispered quietly "This should be entertaining."

Raising an eyebrow in curiosity Lilith whispered back, "Why? I heard that Professor Snape is very stern and does not allow any foolishness in his class."

Blaise smirked and discretely motioned William "The feud between the Potters and Snape is legendary. I am almost certain they are going to come close to blows this class."

Lilith smirked to herself, she could not wait to see her brother make a fool of himself.

Blaise's prediction came true with seer like accuracy. The minute the class started Snape singled William out and began asking him surprisingly simple questions. Each of them could be found in the first three chapters of the required textbook. Draught of Living Death was used as an example in the introduction, as well as several of its rare ingredients. Aconite was a bit trickier, but it was mentioned in the second chapter as one of the only magical plants the mundanes were aware of and used often. The Bezoar was simplicity itself, it was nearly on the first page of the book as a requirement for all aspiring potion brewers to have on stock.

In fact, it was on the required list of things to purchase.

The fact that William did not know any of the answers meant that he had not even cracked his book open to read it. Not to mention the boy lost his house 20 points on his first day by back talking to the professor.

It truly was amusing as Blaise claimed it would be. She was surprised however when Snape turned to her.

"How about we see if one of the other more…intelligent students know the answer. Lilith, answer the questions." Snape said in his permanent sneer.

Lilith smiled innocently at William before answering "For question one, the two ingredients are critical in the brewing of the Draught of Living Death, a powerful sleep potion which can put a person in a death like state. The second question is that there is no difference, however, in the muggle world it is also known as aconite. As for the last question, if you were seeking a bezoar in the wild you would find it in the stomach of a goat. However, you could also find one in our potion kits. It is a requirement for all first years to have."

She was sure the man would deny it but she could detect a ghost of a smile on Snape's face as he turned to William "It seems that some people decided to open there book to the first chapter. As you would find each answer easily available. Ten points from Gryffindor for not doing the assigned reading and twenty points to Slytherin for preparation."

William looked like he wanted to retort but a shushing motion from Granger stopped the boy from losing them more points.

The rest of the class was amusing and interesting as Snape constantly provoked William with subtle insults and stalked around the room.

She even earned another five points for a perfect boil cure potion. Only five kids in the class managed to make it perfectly. Granger, Zabini, Greengrass, and herself made it perfectly. She may not care for the pureblood bias but she relished when Snape spoke the class after they finished brewing.

"Well it seems that we have some competent students in class. Ironic that most of them are muggleborns. I wonder what your parents would think. Class dismissed."

Every pureblood in the room winced at his words, even the light sided ones. Despite not being as prejudiced as their dark aligned cousins they were still expected to excel more than the other students. It was especially worse for the dark aligned purebloods since their parents required them to do better.

She had a smirk plastered on her face all through the rest of the lesson and the way through to the last class of the day, much to the amusement of Blaise.

Unfortunately their last class of the day was a complete joke. Quirrel stuttered too much to be understood easily. Not to mention the man seemed scared of his own subject. She had realized the man was a coward when he escorted her through Diagon Alley but this was ridiculous.

"Ugh, I was looking forward to learning defense as well! How could they hire someone like him?" Lilith complained to Blaise over dinner.

Blaise nodded as he cut into his steak, he was frustrated as well but knew he had his mother to tutor him over the summer. He observed his friend through dinner. As he watched her eat a pork chop viciously he could not help but lick his lips slightly. He regretted what he would do to her later but it was necessary for him to advance to the next level of his species.

(That night)

Lilith sighed as she read a book in the common room. It definitely had been an interesting day. She looked up as Blaise sat beside her.

"Do you want to explore the Astronomy tower for tomorrow's lesson? It would be nice to know where to go before we have to trudge there at 10." Blaise commented.

She looked up at the grandfather clock in the corner and saw it was another hour and a half till curfew was mandatory. Lilith smiled at Blaise and nodded "Sure; that sounds like a good idea."

(Hogwarts's Astronomy Tower)

The two walked the now silent halls of Hogwarts as they made their way to the Astronomy tower. They got lost several times until they found the staircase up to the wide observatory.

Lilith walked to the edge and looked up at the starry sky in wonder, she wasn't able to see the stars in London due to light pollution.

"No one will disturb us here." A voice behind her said and she heard a click as the door to enter the tower was locked.

She whirled around and widened her eyes as Blaise was partially obscured in shadow. He appeared normal except for one thing.

His eyes were now purple with a reptilian slit.

AN: And that's a wrap for this chapter. I hope you don't kill me for that cliff hanger but thought it would be appropriate for an evil fic to have an evil cliffhanger. Anyway I won't post a pairing poll yet because I still haven't decided on all the options. Anyway, the semester is almost over and you can be assured I will be uploading quite a bit more until Christmas break is over, so you can look forward to that.

As always if you have a recommendation or question feel free to PM me or post a review, I read all of your comments.
