Chapter 4: Cassandra

I stormed out of the Hospital wing my sister was in, flew down the hall and tried to get a handle on my magic. I scooped up my backpack from the locker in the Tea Room and exited to the main lobby.

"Cass! Cass, wait up! CASS!"

Shaking my head I adjusted my grip on the backpack and picked up the pace. I heard the patter of his trainers hitting the tile floor. "Morning Miss. Potter-Malfoy" A Healer greeted me. I nodded back respectfully, not knowing the Healer's name. Too many of them knew my and I didn't have the capacity to remember the whole Oncology wing's staff list.

Finally Dom caught up to me. "Dom, I don't want to hear it. If they don't even have the decency to follow me when I suggest I'm leaving, then I don't want anything to do with them. Have they ever once come to our games? Have they ever once said hello to us first? Have they ever even come home over the summer yearly because you were feeling under-the-weather?"

His green eyes matched mine, and for once I knew there was life in my eyes. I had dead eyes. My soul was too used up to bring any sparkle to the famous Potter emerald eyes. "Cass, I'm not here to stop you…Well I am, but not for them… For me, I need you for me. I can't lose another sister." His eyes filled with invisible tears.

I had to turn away. Then I turned back. Dom was great to me. He was always there after operations, offering me a teddy bear of some water while Dad and Father cooed over Kat, who was worse off, or at lest I always told myself that.

"Come with me Dom."

He did a double take. "What?!? Cass, you're really doing this aren't you?" I nodded. "Cass, please… don't make me choose. Our family's already so split up." I looked at him, with the puppy dog eyes Uncle Sirius had taught me so long ago. "Not fair." He said pointing his finger at me and turning away like it would stop the eyes.

I loved Uncle Sirius and Remus. I idolized Sirius. Before Harry left, never to contact them again, he promised me his motorbike, the one that flew. He was the one that taught me to become an unregistered animagius.

"We can go live with Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus." She said excitedly. "Come on Dom. You can finish your animagius training. We'll finally be ably to have an entire year at Hogwarts. We'll have someone watch our games; Hell will get better brooms than the Nimbus Two Thousand. They've got fuck'n Thunderbolts out, that's my broom Dom! You know that I can afford it! Hell, my income alone would by three! My Thunderbird is calling for it! Can't I treat myself for once?" Dom looked at her like she was being selfish.

"When has Kat ever thanked me? You? When has she done anything that wasn't for herself? Kat is selfish and is using her disease as a crutch. I can't live under her anymore. I'M NOT A BLOODY CUBBORED OF REMOVABLE PARTS! IF SHE WAN'T POTION STORES SHE SHOULD TALK TO UNCLE SEV!" The doors and windows rattled dangerously. Dom tried to calm his youngest sister. "SHE, NO THEY ALL NEED TO KNOW THAT WHEN THEY USE UP ALL OF ME, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY LEFT!"

"Cass, please. We'll go. I know how you feel. We'll go." Dom took her by the shoulders and the pair walked out the door, Harry and Draco watching them go.

I threw together some all my clothes and necessitates. We gathered up enough floo powder to get us to Diagon Alley and them to Sirius's house. We took the trunks into the fireplace down stairs and flooed to Diagon Ally.

We stepped out into the Leakey Cauldron and were greeted by the usual hails. We just waved back and dropped of our trunks with Tom's son Bob before walked through the brick wall and into Diagon Ally. We made are way past all the venders and well wishers, asking us to pass on massages to our fathers and sister, never just a 'Hey, how are you guys doing?' No always 'Shouldn't you be at St. Mungo's, you should be proud to be saving you're sister's life. Say thanks to your Dad for stopping those Death Eaters last week.'

I walked forward with more purpose and made my way into Gringotts. Dom followed close behind. We got a cart and headed down to the family vaults. We each took a bag of Gallons from each vault and glared at the piles of gold, there wasn't even a dent in it. As a last minute thought, I filled up two more bags. I climbed back into the cart and handed one to Dom. "Let's go."

Back above ground we headed down the street picking up the essential ingredients for our life abroad. It was when we were passing Quality Quidditch Supplies that I veered off. Dom followed after backing up a step.

I bought myself some Seeker's gloves and Dom got a pair of Better's gloves. Then we approached the owner. "Two Thunderbolts, please." I said as sweetly as I could manage. I've never been the girly type. "Honey that's not a toy." The owners replied sweetly. Dom smacked his forehead with his hand before raking it down his face. "Hey old timer, you don't want my money I'm fine with taking it elsewhere!" She dropped the gold on the counter.

She rushed to the back and pulled out two Thunderbolts. I swear the clerk herd my Thunderbird animagius purr as I clutched that baby. It was perfect. Dom smiled just as happily as he watched me stroke its long black shaft, running my fingers over it's yellow letters and black twigs.

So I'm a bit obsessive. I want to go pro.

We walked out, me satisfied beyond belief, Dom…probably equally as happy but better at restraining himself. We returned to the Leaky Cauldron and were about to leave when we ran into the other Cassandra. The nurse from St. Mungo's.

"Good, Cassandra, Dominick, just the pair I wanted to see."

"If Father or Dad sent you, you can tell them they should have cared when I did."

"No, I come on my own accord, well really my company's accord."

Now she had my attention. If some company was interested in me and Dom, it was a Hell of a lot better than what I was in before hand.

"Let's have lunch, we'll talk."

"K"

Dom gave ma look but followed me to the table.
