She looked into his eyes, her eyes unclouding.

"James?"

"Sam. Why are they after you?"

She blinked hard, "Because I have Silver blood.

James stared at Sam. She and her siblings were curled up in the Gryffindor Common Room. Her sister Stephanie was curled up in a chair staring up at the ceiling. Alex was sitting at her feet hugging his sister with a big blanket covering them that said Alexander Logan. Sam was sitting next to James on the love seat curled up in a Gryffindor blanket. Sam had passed out after her last words. James took her to the Gryffindor Common Room, where Kylee saw and found the other Matthews siblings. Sam had woken up soon after James found a blanket for her. No one had said anything. It had been two hours and nothing. Kylee and Fred had gone to see the pranks, and promised to describe them. Kylee set up the Portable Swamp after lunch when the Slytherins were in their Common Room.

"Sam?" James looked up to see Stephanie looking at her sister, "Sam? What are we going to do? Mom's... Gone. Dad's .. Missing. Your in charge. You've always been."

Sam looked up and took a breath, "You three are going to stay safe and happy, continue life. I'll deal with it.

"Sam your only fifteen!"

"I've been taking care of you three since I was five."

"Your fifteen! Your supposed to be enjoying life!"

"I will when we're safe."

"Sam, we've never been safe! They've been hunting us since the day you were conceived!"

Summer looked up crying, "What are we going to do?"

Sam looked at her hands. James looked at her, "You'll stay with me and my family for Christmas, and when summer comes, you could stay at my house."

Alex looked at him, "We're not going to intrude."

"Its not intruding, your Lily's friend, well you know each other. Sam is my friend. Stephanie you friend's with Rose, and Summer your friend's with Lucy!"

Sam looked at him, "Why would you do something like this?"

James cupped her cheek, "Because your Sammy."

She smiled, "Thanks Jamie." She hugged him. Getting an aw from Stephanie and Summer and a gagging sound from Alex. Sam was blushing as she pulled away.

"Okay you three let's go to dinner. I'd imagine its time." They got up and walked toward the door.

"Sam?" Summer held out her hand. Stephanie smirked and grabbed her hand,

"She'll be down in a minute." They nodded and left.

Sam turned to James, "Thank you James, I don't know how I'll repay you."

James smiled, "I'll think of something. Come on, let's go down. You haven't eaten anything all day."

Sam didn't stand up, "I don't feel like making a public appearance yet."

James sighed, "Get up, come on, get on my back." Sam couldn't help but laugh.

"James we haven't done that since we were eleven."

"Its a good place to start." Sam shook her head and got on. James was on the Quidditch team as a beater with Fred, both were athletically fit, and had muscles, so James picked her up easily.

"So when are you going to try out for the Quidditch team?"

Sam snorted, "Probably never."

"You should, your better than most the players on the team."

"Including you?"

"No, I'm just the best."

"Haha yeah sure Jamie!"

"Don't deny my awesomeness."

"Don't deny mine." Both laughed, then came a pause, "Do you remember last year, the end of the last game?"

Flashback:

Sam was watching James and cheering.

"MONTGOMERY CAUGHT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE CUP!"

Everyone (besides Slytherin) were screaming their lungs out.

James looked at Sam who was beaming, he flew over and held out a hand.

"I won't do a victory lap without my best friend." He yelled over the crowd.

Sam smiled and got on his broom, holding onto his waist. Fred flew over and pulled Kylee onto his. The team was laughing as they did the victory lap.

Sam was laughing, "James, your the best! You hit Crabbe with the bludger!"

James laughed, "I know!"

"There was so much blood! It was awesome though!"

"Yeah, I don't think I've seen someone bleed that much!"

Sam kissed James' cheek, "You did awesome, no one can deny your awesomeness!"

End of Flashback:

James smiled, "Yeah, I remember. That was awesome. You should try out though. Try outs are next Sunday."

"Maybe."

"I think you should."

"I said maybe."

"For me?"

"Oh, well if that's the case.. No."

"Please?"

"I'll think about it."

"Please? Your an amazing Quidditch player Sam."

Sam kissed James cheek, "Thanks for being my horse JamieJams." She hopped off and skipped to the Kitchens.

James watched her, then ran after her. He grabbed her around the waist, causing her to laugh, "Do not call me that."

She spun around, and blinked her eyes innocently, "Call you what JamieJams?"

He growled. And she laughed, "Fine I won't call you that.. For this moment." She walked out his grasp, feeling cold afterwards and walked over to a house elf.

"Can we eat in here tonight?" The house elf nodded and ran off. James and Sam sat down at a table. They sat in silence until James was tired of it.

"Can you please tell me the truth? Sam you've been my bestfriend since first year, and right now I feel like we're strangers."

Sam sighed and looked at her hands, "Tomorrow. Knowing McGonagall she'll cancel classes for tomorrow. She'll be calling a meeting with my grandparents, grandmother, and godparents, seeing as they all want custody. I'll have to explain what a Silver means, so I'd prefer it, if you were there anyway. I don't think I'd be able to talk if you weren't going to be there."

James smiled, "I'll be there. But I want the truth Sam."

"You'll get it. Just.. Do me a favor? Don't hate me after I tell you."

"Is it something bad?"

"You might hate me after it."

"I might be upset, but I could never hate you Sam. Its impossible."

Sam smiled, "Your the best Jamie."

"I know." She smacked his arm. Food appeared in front of them, and they started eating.

"Now you all know why you were called here." Professor McGonagall was sitting in front of her desk, "Children! Please come in."

Sam walked confidently in, carrying Summer, and James's hand. Stephanie held onto Alex's hand behind them. James smiled at his Uncle Charlie, then was shocked to see his Dad, his mom and his Uncle George. They all sat together on a couch. Then Oliver Wood (James met him a few times) and his wife (?) sat on a loveseat. His wife, holding his Mom's hand. Both looked weepy. Then three elderly people sat in chairs near them. There was an empty couch, which they sat at. James sat on the edge. Sam next to him with Summer on her lap, Alex in between Sam and Stephanie.

James grabbed Sam's hand and smiled reassuringly.

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat, "Miss Samantha, would you like to begin?"

Sam nodded, "Well my Grandmother and Papa already know seeing as their Silvers as well. Well, Mr. Potter were you told what the Silvers were?"

He shook his head, "No Sam."

Sam sighed, "Well, you see the Silvers are a line of very powerful witches and wizards. There were the first wizards and witches, until Merlin came. He convinced the youngest Silver Annabel to spread their power so there was more witches and wizards. She convinced her family and in the end they did. But when your at your most powerful. I'm barely tapping into my powers. You see, Voldemort and my Uncle made a deal. My Uncle would give him more power, but Voldemort wouldn't be able to come near his family. He didn't want us to become Death Eaters. Its my Uncle's fault that Voldemort was so powerful. Being a Silver is dangerous because, there a Demons. They haunt and kill us for more power. Its not safe. The Demons answer to one he is called the Slay. For he will slay all Silvers. People kill us for more powerful. But that's not the only part. Being a Silver makes us.. sort of immortal. It protects us from spells, and prolongs our death. When a Silver's heart is taken that person also has a prolonged death. So the Slay wants to be immortal so he kills us and takes our heart. He drains the power though and soon he has to kill another.

"We.. We're.. More powerful than you can imagine. Silver's have a bad reputation because at one point. We were the Dark Witches and Wizards. The curses Voldemort created.. are nothing. Voldemort himself doesn't even compare to a newborn Silver maybe. I come into my full power on my seventeenth birthday. When that day comes.. I'll be hunted. He's hunting us right now, but we're useless until my birthday, then Stephanie's, then Alex's, then Summer's. The Silvers are the ones that created Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, etc. We were the first. We're the strongest."

James looked at her, "Why did you tell me not to hate you?"

"Because my Uncle. Because my family make Voldemort look like a worm. And because I'm a Marked Witch."

Jessica Wood gasped, she was the only one to know what that meant, besides her Grandparents.

"Y-you? My little Samantha! Your Marked!"

Sam nodded. James squeezed her hand.

"What does being Marked mean?"

Sam bit her lip, "It means that.. Its hard to explain. And I'd prefer never talk about it. Its not a bad thing per say. But for me.. Its not a good thing either. Think your Dad.. But worse."

"Oh.. I'm still confused, but okay. So Silver.."

"Oh yeah anyway. Silver.. We can take away all Witches and Wizards powers. That's probably why were so important to the Slay now. With four Silvers.. He would be virtually impossible. Then he'd kill us. After we took away everyone elses powers. Then no one could stop him."

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Sam it is your choice to start the Order of Pheonix again. Your the only one."

Sam nodded, "I don't want anyone else in danger."

"Doesn't matter. We will protect you Sam. You and your siblings. The OoP is started again from this moment. Now Sam, custody."

"Yes, I would like full custody of my siblings."

Her Grandmother stood up, "YOU CAN'T YOU LITTLE WENCH! YOUR FIFTEEN! YOUR NOT ANY BETTER THAN DEAD THEN!"

Sam looked unaffected, "Let's put it this way. Papa, when will you be dying?"

Her papa looked up at her, "In three days I will be going to St. Mungo's because heart problems then a week after, I will be gone."

Sam nodded, "I know its time for you."

David Silver walked over to his granddaughter, "I will miss you too my little Rosie."

A tear leaked out, "I love you Papa."

"I love you too Samantha. I love all of you." He then turned back around and sat down, "Upon my death. Samantha will then be the Head of Silver. My wife I love you, but you will commit suicide when I die. And your not Silver blood. Samantha will recieve everything. And I do mean everything Samantha. Even the Silver Castle. It will be yours. Samantha when I die. You will need to call upon them. You know who I mean. You will be sixteen soon. I suggest Winter, but you may do it in the summer. I am sorry for this burden upon you. I have seen your future though. There's a fork. If you defeat him, it will be for good, after that will be happiness. If you don't however. Slay will bring hell onto Earth."

Sam nodded, "I know."

"Do not let the fact that your Marked do anything Rose." He sighed, "But if you are dead. Stephanie will become.. His wife and mistress. Alex will be his slave. And Summer will become.. A toy to his men."

Sam stood up her hair turning red and black, "That won't happen!"

He nodded, "Then you have persuasion. Because of our Silver right, no matter what, they would go to me. But seeing as, I'll be dead. They will not. And they will not be going to Marie either. They can not Marie do not argue. So.. Either they go to Charlie, Jessica, or Olivia. Do not separate them."

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Until that time though. The Ministry has made Ginny Weasley their Temporary Guardian, along with her brother, George. George during school. Ginny during breaks. This is until the custody battle is over with."

Ginny nodded and so did George.

"Good. Now children you may leave."They nodded and stood.

"Bye Nona! Bye Popa!" The children glared at their Grandmother. She called Sam a wench!

Summer went back to her common room to talk to Andromeda and Lucy, Stephanie went back to talk to Dominque, and to study, Alex went off with his friends too.

"So.." James put his hands in his pockets.

"So..." Sam found great interest in her shoes.

"Your a Silver.."

"Yup.."

"I had no idea what that meant till a few minutes ago."

Sam laughed, then turned serious again, "I'm sorry for not telling you Jamie-"

"Its okay. I know you Sam, you don't like putting people in danger unless its absolutely necessary." Sam smiled.

"Thanks Jamie." She kissed his cheek, "Race you back to the Common Room!" She took off, James following.
