(*Updated)

The next few days was the same, having Professor Snape for not only potions but for DADA and detention. Most of her friends would pity her, thinking she had to endure his cold manner. Serenity didn't believe it that way, she thinks that she could learn quite a bit from him. Once she saw him make blood replenish potions with four cauldrons and watched in awe of his skill. No matter what she was going to have to be with him during detention so it didn't matter much to her.

Friday morning came quietly as Serenity woke up early to go see Valiant. This week she only visited him twice instead of everyday. She wore her usual uniform and cloak out to walk down to Hagrid, seeing Valiant snoozing outside. Once she came close enough, the faithful wolf woke up, poking it's head to see it's master. He quickly stood up to run to her arms as she hugged her furry friend. Her laughter was a joy to hear as Valiant licked her face. They slowly calmed down, allowing Serenity to pet Valiant before walking around the school grounds with him. They walked around to the quidditch seeing Harry practice.

"Harry?!"

He looked down and few down easily with his broom.

"Hey!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm practicing a bit before the game today! Gryffindor versus Slytherin!"

"Oh yeah! I'll be rooting for you."

Valiant gave a little howl as Serenity giggled.

"Sorry, I mean both of us will be rooting for you!"

They laughed as Harry whizzed around the area. She sat at the sidelines with Valiant on the grass. She felt relaxed and calm until she flinched. Hey eyes grew as she felt her body get a bit weak as she leaned against Valiant, who turned his head with a little whining voice.

Her vision blurred as she looked up at Harry, except the weather changed to become grey. Rain. She looked at Harry but saw something instead, him falling from the sky. Thunderstorms rippling through the sky, missing him while the haunting figure of a dementor reach out to-

"Serenity?!"

Serenity looked up to see Harry hover in front of her, slowly landing on his feet.

"Oh sorry I just got really tired now..."

"Are you sure? You seem a bit pale?" Harry looked at her, moving strand away from her face. She smiled at him.

"I'm fine, really."

"Alright, well lets start going back. It seems like a storm is coming."

Serenity looked up at the clouds to see the blue sky slowly being swallowed up by grey clouds. A rush of rain coming towards them as Serenity quickly got up as they all ran back for shelter. Serenity took Valiant with her back to the Gryffindor dorms. Some of the students were surprised to see Valiant but they didn't mind. A few even wanted to pet and play with him. A few of the first years even got ribbons and placed them around his neck to create one large bow, making Serenity laugh. Valiant was a good sport though and let the girls play with him and wrestled with a few of the guys.

"Ey Serenity, could we have a go with him?"

George asked while Fred was grinning ear to ear.

"Sure?"

George tried to ride Valiant while Fred was trying to feed something strange to him. But of course Valiant just bucked George off while licking Fred's face, making the strange candy they were trying to feed him rolling off somewhere.

"Darn it! Wanted to see the if the spark toffee would work!"

They went off to their classes after that, Valient just followed Serenity around, not wanting to leave her. So she ended up sitting in the back so he would lay in the corner unnoticed. When they went to the DADA class, she in the back with Dean. Professor Snape rushed in slamming the curtains close, before turning back to look at all the students.

"Turn to page 394."

"Excuse me, sir, but... where's Professor Lupin?"

Serenity looked up to see Harry asking Snape.

"That's not really your concern, is it, Potter? Suffice it to say, your Professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time. Page 394."

He turned on the slide show with the flick of his wand before pointing it at Ron's book turning the pages to where he wanted to start.

Serenity caught up to the page and looked at it, hearing Ron explain,

"Werewolves?"

A sudden voice also spoke out,

"But, sir, we've only just begun learning about Red Caps and Hinkypunks. We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks-."

"Quiet!…Now. Which of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf?

Everyone was quiet as Hermione was the only one with their hand up

"No one? How... disappointing."

Hermione spoke out of turn, making Serenity have an inner groan, knowing Snape wasn't going to be to pleased by it.

"Please, sir, an Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice in the matter. Furthermore, the werewolf actively hunts humans and responds only to the call of its own kind."

Draco gave out a sudden howl, making some of their classmates laugh while Snape snaps at him.

"Quiet, Malfoy! Though one must admit to feeling your pain. That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Tell me. Are you incapable of restraining yourself? Or do you

take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all? Five points from Gryffindor!"

She flinched a bit as she heard the rain rumble against the window. She sat next to Harry as she noticed him receive a little paper crane. He unfolded it to show an animated picture of him in the quidditch game getting hit by one of the balls and being struck by lightning.

"As a antidote to your ignorance, I prescribe two rolls of parchment on the werewolf by Monday morning, with particular emphasis placed on recognizing it…Passing notes, Potter?"

Snape took the paper and looked at it, before glancing back at Harry.

"Not exactly Picasso, are you? I hope you demonstrate more talent on the Quidditch pitch this

weekend then you do as an artist. If not, I fear you'll perish,given the weather forecast. Until

that time, however, you'll forgive me if I don't let you off homework. Should you die, I assure you... you need not hand it in."

She flinched as Snap threw the paper back at Harry, while he crumpled the paper in his hand and shoved it away on the corner of the desk. Serenity looked at Draco laughing with his friends but shushed when Professor Snape hissed at them. Draco glanced back to see Serenity's eyes and his smile faded.. He quickly looked back at his textbook as Serenity flickered her eyes back to her own, feeling something bad was going to happen as Valiant rubbed his head against her leg as if to comfort her. He gently pets him as class went by as blur. Professor Snape dismissed the class as everyone rushed to leave for the quidditch game. Serenity waited until everyone left first, not wanting to run into the mob and opened the door. She followed the group from her house back to their dorms after all their classes were over for the day, to change for the game. Hermione was already done and told Serenity she'll save a seat for her. Once Serenity was done changing, instead of going to the direction of where everyone else was going, she went the other way. She went to the direction of Hagrid's hut but took a turn to the Dark Forest.

Valiant followed her in as Serenity ran through the forest, feeling the rain beat against her cloak as she walked. She struggled as she heard the game and cheering from afar as she looked at Valiant who gave out a howl. She knew that sign as her eyes traveled up to the sky to see dark figures floating around. The figures of her vision.

dementors...

She quickly looks at Valiant and nods her head. He bowed half it body to allow her to get on and started to run to beat the dementors. She looked to see the large number go into the sky. She had to do it now or else it would be too late.

"Valiant run till edge to the large fallen tree and jump as I launch the spell! Go!" She yelled out as Valiant ran in the forest to spot a large fallen tree, broken at the end to make it look as if it was a cliff. The beating of his paws hit the wood as Serenity swiftly took out her want to point the the sky.

"Expecto Patronum!"

The gentle light of a doe appears as it pranced to the sky to the dementors. Valiant jumped off the edge making them both fly in the air as she did a midair twist to transform. She quietly landed on her paws as she opened her eyes. She looked down to see her paws and digged at the wet ground beneath her. She looked at the sky to see a few of the shadow figures retreated but she was about to turn she saw the lightning strike and shock filled her eyes.

Tens...hundreds of them in the sky it looked like. She looked at Valiant and gave out a howl. She had to go to the field as she sprinted over with Valiant next to her. Her partner howled back at her.

This can't be happening! ...Oh Merlin, HARRY!

They sprinted to the quidditch arena to see groups of students running back to the school and teachers on the ground with a body. Madam Pomfrey levitated the boy, allowing Serenity see who it was. It was Harry as some of the teachers followed back to the school. She saw nothing but Gryffindor and what looked to be Hufflepuffs in the air on their brooms. She even saw Cedric, holding was looked to be the golden snitch. She looked at Dumbledore and Snape, who stayed at the field with their wands at ready to push the dementors away, as they released their patronus' up into the air. The brilliant white lights shined light a vortex to expand and push the dementors out of the way.

The dementors were stubborn as they tried to come closer, as the swarm came around them, trying to find an opening. Serenity changed back by one of the towers neat the field, watching, not noticing a few dementors coming her way. When she turned her head she saw them as the chill consumed her body and soul.

She stood her ground as Valiant growled at them, getting to an attacker crouch as she held her wand up. Serenity took a breath as they approached her, close enough as she yelled out,

"Expecto Patronum!"

Her patronus appeared, prancing towards the dementors to push them back. They hissed and shrilled as they left back with their book. She smiled as the skies cleared up a little. The clouds broke out bits on sunbreaks. Her patronus came back to her as she smiled at it.

"Lily!"

She turned to see Professor Snape staring at her as her Patronus disappeared.

Severus finished up with Albus clearing away the dementors. But he noticed a light at the corner of his eye. He couldn't believe it as he lowered his wand to his side, dropping it onto the ground. A gentle image of a beautiful doe patronus by the tower. It lowered it's head to someone as Severus yelled out.

"Lily!"

His heart was being ripped apart again. Everything he had felt years ago appeared back onto the surface as he crouched to pick his wand again and ran to the light.

Was she alive?! Lily!

The patronus disappeared as the figure placed her hood up. She quickly scurried into the forest to escape the man, but he wasn't going to lose her now.

"Severus wait!"

Why would I wait, old man? If it's Lily then I'm done waiting!

He ran after the figure who he believed was Lily. His desire clouded his judgement as she ran after her, but before he could enter the forest a wolf came in front of him, and he just flicked his wand to stun the beast.

He saw the woman turn a bit to see the beast fall, but the beast gave a little howl. She took a step forward but the beast whimpered, making her turn back to run to the woods. Severus ran after her in long strides. Getting deeper into the forest in great strides. He got close enough to reached out to grab onto the woman's slim arm, yanking her back.

She was trying to run as fast as she could but the Professor caught up to her, yanking her into his arms. She froze as she stood in his embrace, his arms like a vice around her. Her hood was up still as she felt his cheek pressed against her head, with something wet drop onto her shoulder. She realized it wasn't a raindrop...but a tear.

"Why did you run?"

She stiffen as she heard his whisper.

"Why didn't you come to me if you were alive? Why have you become so small and thin?"

She could feel his body shaking as she felt his arms tighten around her, pressing her body against his.

"...Why? Why must you torment me by coming to my dreams, yet I wake up not seeing you? Protecting your son, knowing you were gone...Please let me see you..."

"P-professor?"

She could feel his hands stiffen and his body became rigid. He swiftly gripped onto her neck and his wand at hand pointing at her. He tossed her against a tree, making her lose her breath. She moved her hand against his, gripping onto it to try to make him release her.

"P-professor stop! I-it hurts!" She cries in pain as she used her other hand to lower her hood.

He saw her lower her hood and his eyes widen. Her beautiful golden brown locks came around her shoulders as he released her. She fell onto the ground coughing as a few tears streamed down her cheek. She looked up at him as his eye that were filled with love and passion moments ago turned into sorrow and hate. This girl constantly appeared to him when his thought of Lily should be. He fell onto his knees as frustration built inside of him.

He threw his wand aside as he threw a fist onto the ground. The clouds were still grey and gloomy as he placed his hands over his face.

"Why...Why can't it be her!" he cried as single tear drop slid down his cheek. He completely forgot that Aragon was still there until he felt gentle, slender arms wrap around him, pulling him into an embrace. He rested his head against a warm shoulder as her voice quietly whispered in his ear.

"It's ok Professor…"

She gently caressed his arm as a soft breeze blew their way. Instead of breaking away the contact he heard her heartbeat. It was steady and soft, like a fluttering bird. As he closed his eyes he could hear the soft hum coming from her lips as she sang in a soft tone, as if it was only meant for him to hear.

The melody she humid was soft and sorrowful, reminding him how much he couldn't do for her, yet she gave everything for Harry willingly. He knew she wouldn't have changed that fate for anything else. He felt the young witch's body shift a bit, feeling slender fingers against his cheek to wipe away a tear. He looked up from the curtain of hair surrounding her face to see those majestic emerald eyes. How they didn't give the look of hate or disgust like most would have. They had something in them, something that one would describe the sun: warm, bright, gentle. Something that he had lost long ago. Something that was right in his grasp.

Something that he could possibly destroy as well.

Serenity saw the change in his face from something soft to something cold. His face harden like a stone as he quickly got up from her arms, almost pushing her back at bit. He gave a bit of a cough, not even looking at her.

"We must return to the school..."

She stared at him as her lips turned to a grimace. She knew the professor was back to his senses as she slowly stood up.

"Yes...si-...Valiant!" She looked to see her partner limping towards them, still a bit paralyzed by the harsh spell the professor shot at him. Usually the spell would wear off but it seemed like the professor over did it.

Serenity ran over to him as the poor thing finally fell onto the ground with a little whimper. She fell onto the dirt to give him a hug, cradling it's head in her arms as she whispers.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorr-"

She noticed a few plants next to her. The flowers were dead the the leaves were still quite healthy as she reached out the pluck them. She heard the crunching of leaves behind her.

"Get up. We can levitate you beast to Hagrid."

"No! He's too weak and even with levitation it could cause permanent paralyzation if he tried to move in mid air to quickly. Give me a moment!" She hissed at him. She usually never behaved like that before, but for his earlier actions did get her on edge. Especially with him being the cause that her friend was in pain now. She looked at the leaves in her hand and quickly placed them in her mouth.

"Aragon!"

She ignored him as she quickly chew them, and spat them out onto her hand. As gross as that was she gently placed Valiant's head on her lap and placed the strange poultice, but instead of being placed on a wound she whispers sweetly.

"Please, it will help you feel better boy. Come on."

Valiant hesitantly sniffed the thing in her hand and slowly licked the herb. He gave out a grumble as he slowly ate the rest of it.

"Enough, I'll-"

Before Professor Snape could finish his sentence, Valiant slowly stood up and stretched his limbs, before giving Serenity a little rub of his head against her cheek. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm glad you're feeling better..."

She slowly stood up as the Professor finally stared at her. She looked back, trying to see the man who finally realized what he truly felt, but just saw a mask. He quickly turned to go walk in the direction of the school as she quietly walked behind him, with Valiant by her side. They walked in silence as they approached the school, and as they reached the front entrance he turned to look at her.

"No detention for only tonight...Go."

She quickly entered inside with Valiant after her, running to the hospital wing to see Harry in the bed, with Ron and Hermione next to him. She slowly entered inside as they looked at her. She gave Harry a hug and the rest of them one as well before sitting down and telling her story, except the part about Snape and just said that he caught her in the woods, not at school. They all looked at her, listening quietly as Harry asked,

"So you knew?"

"Yes...And I thought I could prevent it and...I'm so...so sorry!" She didn't want to cry but tears rushed down her face. Hermione gently touched Serenity's hand as she looked at Harry, expecting to see a bit of anger. Instead he stretched out his hand to touch hers that was on the edge of his bed.

"it's fine...I'm fine...You did your part and now I'm not completely dead...It's alright and...Thank you Serenity…Just wish my broom was okay…"

She looked down to see his numbs 2000 was ruined because of the willow tree. She gently patted Harry's hand as she couldn't help but feel like she could have done more.

"One thing you must learn Serenity is that you can't always change fate, but you can challenge it. Sometimes you can change it, and sometimes you can't. But be careful my dear, because sometimes changing destiny comes with a price...One that may cost more that what you bargain for."

She heard Professor Tsukimi's words as she bowed her head. She was able to help a little with Harry but she knew he needed to stay alive no matter what, because...If he dies then the world they know will perish. But for now only she knows, and she needs to keep it that way...

To carry the burden on her own till the time comes.

Time went by as she spent time with her friends in the hospital wing until Madam Pomfrey shooed them out. Serenity took Valiant back to Hagrid's and gave the large man a hug before she left. Before she went back to the school she quickly changed to her wolf form to sprint back in the forest. She had about an hour before dinner started and free time for her since Potions and other classes were canceled because of the quidditch match and the faculty meeting about the incident.

She sprinted in deep in and turned to the point of almost reaching Hogsmeade instead. She didn't sniffed the air and gave out a howl, and stood quietly. She waited until she heard another howl in response. She turned to follow where the howl came from as she glanced to see it wasn't a full moon, just a crescent for tonight. She saw the familiar cave and sniffed the air to see it was still occupied.

"Looking for me?"

She looked up to see Sirius step out of the shadows deep in the cave with a toothy smile. Serenity ran to him, changing in mid air as she jumped in his arms.

"Sirius!"

"Hello my dear, what on earth are you doing here?"

"To warn you!"

"Warn me? About what?"

"The dementors! They are coming as swarms around the school. They aren't helping us, they're attacking now! Especially for the taste of one particular student!"

"...No..."

"Yes, now you must go no-"

"No, no , NO!"

Sirius punched the wall of the cave.

"How dare they touch him!"

"Sirius enough! You can't stay here any longer...This isn't the time nor place to get mad. You must leave this forest, some place that they can't find you."

"This place is safe."

"For how long? I'm sure Dumbledore will tell them to only protect the perimeter, and soon they'll come to the dark forest and Hogsmeade. You need a safe house, a cabin, a sha-"

"The shrieking shack..."

Serenity stared at Sirius as his looked back at her.

"You've gotta be kidding me! That's one of the most haunted places in all of Bri-"

"Not really, I've been there before with James and the rest. Great fun."

"Be serious...Ignore that pun." Sirius chuckled as Serenity rolled her eyes. She knew she was low on time.

"It's perfect. No one goes near it because it's so called haunted and dementors wouldn't look at an abandoned landmark. I'll go now to avoid the dementors moving around."

"Sirius! You can't! people will see you!"

"Oh pfft! They haven't tracked me down yet, and certainly not now...I'll be fine dear."

Serenity looked up at him and furrowed her eyebrows. He could tell how concerned she was and gave her a hug. She gave one back in return as she whispered,

"...Be careful..."

"I will...Now go! before anything happens to you." He said as he let her go. He smiled at her as he took her hand. They walked out of the cave together. She glanced at him as he nodded his head. They both jumped down to do a flip in the air before changing back into their animagus forms. Sirius was a large black dog, while Serenity was almost the same size as him, but was a white wolf. She bowed her head to him as she barked in reply. He turned his way to run in to the shack as Serenity watched. She whimpered a little but turned her way back to go back to school.

:A/N:- What will happen to her later? Is Severus thinking about her or Lily now? What does Serenity feel about this Potion master after seeing him cry? Got to keep reading to find out more!
