" Hello Harry, just the wizard I was looking for." Annie said, looking into a pair of glinting emerald eyes.
" Were you now? Funny, because I found myself wanting to talk to you." The brunette replied, sitting down next to her.
" Seems like quite a few people have been drawn to talk to me." Annie whispered.
Harry was silent before saying:
" I've heard a lot of people talking. They say you know everything about Hogwarts and the people in it. Is it true?"
" Quick to the point, that hasn't changed. Yes, dear Harry it is true. I know very, very much about the inhabitants of this school." Annie responded, smirking at him.
" How?" He whispered.
" If I was to tell you I was from another dimension, what would you say?"
" I would say that it sound like a plot line from a Sci-fi muggle show that Dudley watches all the time."
" Well, at least you understand that part. But I speak the truth Harry. On my plane of dimension, I am born Annie Rain Snape."
" What, that would make Professor Snape your father!"
" Yes, but not here. I am not even born and the deaths that occur here take a place on different spaces on the timeline."
" Man, that just sounds like it sucks. Wait, what do you mean, the deaths occur differently?"
Annie sighed, then faced the brunette with a serious face.
" Do not interrupt me, cause this will be the third time I have told this story, and I don't think my tear ducts can take anymore. So, promise not to interject?"
Harry nodded and Annie told him her story, not even leaving out the parts with Draco and Damien. When she finished, she could feel the tears pricking her eyes again.
' Damn it. I've never cried this much since mum died, but here I am, again close to tears in less then a week.' She thought, brushing the tears hastily away.
" So, I'm soul mates with Malfoy? And we have a son, whom you adore and I'm not 'the boy-who-lived' because there is no prophecy and Tom is the good guy while Albus is the evil fuck. Mom and dad died when I was six and your mother died when you were ten, both of us having seen each of our parents die. Both being Albus's fault, him being the dark lord. Tom Riddle is the Headmaster and your godfather and Siri is alive?" Harry whispered.
" Yes, but he wouldn't recognize this you. Well, not completely, as only your hair and height changes. Same with Draco."
" I'm a Ravenclaw?"
" Yep, one of the smartest in out year."
" What about Hermione?"
" Granger and a good chunk of the Weasleys follow Dumbledore. Ron is his right hand minion"
" Holy shit. Well, he never was a good friend. You said a good chunk, so who isn't evil?"
" Fred, George, Bill and Charlie." Annie answered.
' He is taking to this so easily. I can tell he is not spying for Albus, so he must truly believe me.' She thought, watching the brunette.
" Annie, do you think…well, I what I want to say is…ahh man."
" Wondering if Draco like you here?" Annie put in, smirking at the look on Harry's face.
" Ummm, well, yes."
Annie laughed before smiling at him.
" Yes, he does and he even asked me the same thing about you. I think you should talk if you can get him alone. Even if you two aren't creatures here, soul mates are soul mates."
Harry grinned, looking away for a moment.
" I wonder what Damien looks like."
" I have pictures. So, you wanna see?" Annie said, holding a single photo out.
Harry took it and smiled.
" Pink robes? Oh my. Bet that day was fun."
" Yes, he has the Potter stubbornness."
Harry chuckled and handed the picture back.
" He's cute."
" More then cute. Adorable." Annie replied, putting the picture away.
" You know what? I'm gonna find Draco. I'll visit you later." Harry took off, a small, goofy smile on his face
" Good luck." She called out, smiling to herself.
" I think I might be doing something right, despite me accidentally causing Harry to miss class." Annie whispered, walking out of the courtyard to the main grounds.
She walked along the hidden paths to the lake, enjoying the still strangely warm November air. Resting by the lake, Annie's mind wandered again.
Flashback
" Annie?" Draco's voice called from the den.
" In here." She answered.
" Can you do me a favor and put Dam to sleep tonight? I'm swamped with Charms essays. I know he'd love you to do it."
" I always have time for my favorite nephew. Sure, I'll be up in few, Dray."
" Thanks, you're an angel, Annie."
She smiled and made her way to Damien's room.
" Hey midget, time for bed."
" Ah, I don't wanna." The little blonde whined.
" Well, it's late sweetie, so bed." Annie saw, grabbing him, causing the boy to squeal in laughter.
Tucking the boy in, he begged of her something.
" Ok, what will it be: story or song?" Annie asked.
" Will you sing me that song that Grandma Calinna sang to you?"
" How do you know about that?"
" Grandpa Sev told me."
" Ok, I'll sing it. Close your eyes, baby." Annie whispered, brushing a lock out of his eyes.
He closed his molten silver eyes and curled into her side. She smiled softly before gently singing him to sleep.
(( note: following song was written and owned by Evanescence))
"Goodnight
Sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning
I'll be here
And when we say goodnight
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight, and not goodbye
We said goodnight, and not goodbye"
Annie kissed Damien's head before turning the lights off
End flashback
" I will find a way to get back, but for now, I think I will show Albus you just don't mess with the heir of Rowena Ravenclaw and Doicena Selana" Annie whispered, standing up, her eyes glowing eerily and her hair moving without wind.
Oh cooly. Thanks very much to my two reviewers. Enjoy you much. Will update soon. Oh Doicena Selana is Annie's grandfather from her mother's side. He is a powerful elf lord and adores her.
