COMPLETE. Sequel to "Always in Your Shadow". Severus Snape's daughter Calista attends Hogwarts. As if Occlumency lessons, peer rivalry, and growing up Snape weren't challenging enough, she still has to contend with her dangerous, sadistic mother, Bellatrix Lestrange, trying to invade her mind. AU, in-character; CC where possible. In-depth exploration of the art of Occlumency.

A realistic Snape's daughter story. Severus Snape discovers he has a daughter, born of a brief affair with Bellatrix Lestrange. First, a journey to reach the frightened, emotionally damaged child, and then a full-blown mental war, as Bellatrix manages to possess the girl from her cell in Azkaban. Among other things, an in-depth exploration of Occlumency. AU, in-character Snape.

Severus Snape and his sister Cordelia have a lot of secrets; being magical in a mostly Muggle neighborhood, the way their parents fight behind closed doors. Cordelia has one more, though, and she doesn't even know it yet. AU, Young Severus/Lily/Marauders. Eventually, some SS/LE, RL/OC. This is a relaunch/total rewrite of an idea I had several years ago. All canon chars are in-char.
