Chapter 4

Raven didn't have a good trip to Kings Cross. The only thing that made it bearable was the fact that she got to talk with her siblings. She had no problem with them not having magic, though she found out years ago why this was the case, and all four of them were close and Raven considered it her job to protect them from the monsters that are supposed to only be in mythological books.

James stayed in the car, with the siblings, while Lily helped to load Raven's trunk onto a trolley and take her to the platform. Kings Cross was crowded with people, all going to their normal destinations. Upon arriving at platform nine and three quarters she helped Raven load her trunk into an empty compartment and then turned to her.

"Unlike with James I don't care what house you're in," she said, "Just make me proud."

"Thanks," Raven said, smiling at her mother.

"Raven, I have something that you need to know," she said and Raven wondered what she was about to say. "Um, James isn't your father."

Raven put a hand on her mum and said, "Mum, I know that he's not."

She stared at her and asked, "How do you know?"

"I just do," she answered, "Don't worry, mum, I won't tell James that you cheated on him. Of course, after all that he's done to make himself look good, I'm glad that I'm not. I'll make you proud, mum."

She smiled at her and Raven climbed on-board. She wrote something down and handed it to her mother.

"What's this?" she asked.

"The truth," Raven answered and she disappeared.

The train started to move and so Raven never saw her mother's reaction to the note. What did it say? 'James murdered Severus Snape so that he could have you. Don't believe me talk to Remus and Sirius.' Her father never told her that she couldn't tell her mother the truth about what happened and Raven believed that it was fitting that her mother know that she had slept with a murderer.

There was a whole bunch of new students, all of them running around and laughing. Raven wasn't exactly sure how well she would do at Hogwarts. She had been lucky that she hadn't been kicked out of almost every school, but that was only because she had been blessed with luck. She also only had a few run-ins with monsters, to which she was grateful for. A compartment door opened and a bushy brown hair girl appeared.

"Just checking," she said and she was gone.

Raven glared at the spot the girl had occupied.

Hours passed and Raven started to get a little bit excited about finally making it to Hogwarts. Though, deep down, she wondered if Hogwarts would be ready for her and if it would survive not being blown apart.

Lily stared at the note, shocked. Why would Raven say that James killed her former best friend? No, this wasn't possible. The note said that if she didn't believe her then to talk to Remus and Sirius. She folded the note and headed back to the car. Yes, she would talk to them and find out why Raven was accusing James of murder.

"Did you tell her that she better be in Gryffindor," James asked when Lily sat back in the car.

"Yes, I did," Lily lied, "And she promises that she will be."

"Good, because I don't want her in stinking Slytherin," he said and they drove off.

James went off to work at the Three Broomsticks, Sarah and the siblings all had been dropped off with late notes, and that left Lily alone in the house for the first time. She sat down and thought about asking Remus and Sirius. Sirius would most likely still be at the Ministry but Remus would be at home. She fired called him and asked him to come over. Ten minutes later he appeared.

"Is this true?" she asked him, showing him the note.

"Who wrote this?" Remus asked.

"Raven," Lily answered.

She saw him looking at him and then answered, "Yes, Lily, it's true."

"W-W-What?" Lily cried out. "No, James didn't murder Snape."

"Lily, I'm afraid that he did," Remus said, "Do you ever wonder why he's working at the Three Broomsticks instead of the Ministry, like Sirius?"

"Well, yes," she said. "What happened?"

"When Severus called you that word, and you stormed away, James used a spell that he had discovered and didn't know what it did. It sliced Severus throat open and he died of blood loss. Dumbledore made everyone vow not to tell the truth, but it wasn't an Unbreakable Vow. However some of the students must have told their parents as that's why he's not working at the Ministry. Sirius believes that he did it so that you would date him without having to worry about Severus being around."

"B-B-But I thought he had transfer to a different school. That's what Minerva told me."

"She didn't want you to do know, as it would have soured any chances that James had," Remus told her. "Lily, what are you going to do with this information?"

"I don't know, but I don't want to be near James anymore," she said, "I might not have liked that Sev called me the M word but I would have never resorted to murder. Dear Merlin, I slept with a man that murdered my first friend."

"So now you know the truth," came a voice that Lily had only heard once, and that was when she was between sleep and awake.

She turned and the man that had given her Raven stood there, but he was different.

"Who the bloody hell are you?" Remus swore.

He smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hades, Lord of the Dead, father to your former friend who died at the hands of the man that you ended up marrying."

"You're Hades?"

"Yes," he said and Remus rolled his eyes. "Is there something wrong?"

"Sorry, but I never imaged Hades to look like this," Remus said.

"Would you prefer that I look like….this?"

And he changed into a fifteen foot man in full Greek Armor. Lily screamed and Remus said, "No, you look fine. The business look suites you."

Hades returned to normal, grinning.

"I believe, Lily, we do have much to talk about," Hades said in a serious voice.

A/N: Now Lily knows the truth. The next chapter Lady Hecate appears and she explains why none of her children, with James, has magic and Severus ghost pays a visit as well. Also I'm not going to get into Raven's sorting, but she will be writing which house she's in when she writes to her mother.
