NAT STAYED UP FOR THE REST of the night thinking about her dream. All she wanted was answers. Answers to all the mysterious people. Who are they? How is she related to them? How does it help her?

She was in search of them. Starting with Sophia. She wanted to know something about her since her name keeps popping up frequently, she felt something in her, a need to know more about this mysterious woman. She had a feeling that she knew her from a memory, as if they were related. Her Gut feeling told her there was more to Sophia's story, Alot more.

She had to find three people.

1) Sophia 2) Evangeline 3) Andrea

And she had no idea where to start.

The sun was rising and she could feel soft yellow glow through the curtains in her was still early, but Nat couldn't sleep and since it was dawn she decided to get up. Her thoughts were full while showering. All she could think of were these mysterious names of women swirling in her head. Sophia, Evangeline, Andrea... Sophia,Evangeline, Andrea... and so the names kept repeating in her head. During her entire morning routine Nat was lost in thought.

She sat down in her desk (seeing her friends were still asleep) and decided to fill her journal. First she started reading all of her entries of the visions she'd seen from the time she'd me Cat.

August 2nd 1988:

It was a pretty garden where a beautiful woman was playing with her three year old daughter. The pair of them were running around when the toddler was suddenly lifted into the air by a young and handsome man who I assume is her father. The young woman (his wife) comes and asks the girl if she wanted "Auntie Lily's" cupcakes. They knew my mum and dad. I swear I know this man because he looks so familiar. I just don't know where I'd seen him. And since they knew my parents that means I would've known them as well, but what I don't understand is how was I able to look into my memories while I was awake! I mean I don't know if that's possible, but if it wasn't mine then could it be my new friend Cat's? Something doesn't seem right. Well the rest of it was nothing important. Just that Baby me knew that three year old girl from this vision. Could be my childhood friend.

September 1 :

First day at Hogwarts! It's been a bittersweet day. Sweet because Cat and I along with our new friend Aurora Longbottom got sorted into Slytherin. Bitter because Charlie and the twins ignored me all through dinner. I hope they won't treat me too differently just because I'm in Slytherin. Percy seemed okay though I can tell he's a bit disappointed.

Anyways, I had two visions today which is weird because I've never two of them in one day. The first one was in the train ride to Hogwarts where I saw into Aurora's past. It was about her parents.

Her parents were being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange who happens to look alot like Andromeda.I bet Lestrange is related to Andromeda after she was disowned by her family. Its still scary how their resemblance is top Not my point. Anyway, Aurora's dad was taken as a prisoner so Alice (her mum) goes looking for him where she is tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. She was being tortured for answers about Sophia Black and someone named Andrea.

Black? As in Andromeda's family. How come she didn't realise that before! Her name was Sophia Black which could mean two things- either she was born one or was married to one. Okay, now she has a name. Sophia Black. She would have probably forgotten about the surname since the name didn't pop up after her first week at Hogwarts during her First year.

The second vision was from the head of my house - Severus Snape. I don't know how but he happens to know a Sophia too. Also, he knew mum! I have no idea how since Papa never mentions much about my parents or their friends. Anyways this vision happened in Professor Dumbledore's office I guess and he said something about keeping us safe. Dumbledore then told him Harry and I were alive and that we have our mother's eyes , which we do. The prof then said something about Sophia , which I hope is the same Sophia I saw in Aurora's memories was being kept in St. Mungo's. What I don't understand is how does Severus know her? Maybe since most of the Blacks (except Andromeda and some cousin of her's) were sorted into Slytherin. Anyways he also mentioned another name - Evangeline. Now who could that be?

September 12th :

Today was one hell of day. We (Cat and I) finally found out why we have this weird psychic connection and how we got out powers. It all started when that useless excuse of a human Carrow came upto us and started yelling horrible things about us. That resulted in Cat getting furious and setting everything on fire, but poor Athena and Carrow caught fire too. It was so terrible seeing them on fire and hearing them scream in pain. I don't know what I would've done if anything serious had happened to them. Worse of all I don't know how Cat would survive with the guilt. I don't want anything terrible like that to happen. Anyways, as that happened I figured out I had shielding powers, which means I can shield anyone from a spell or physical dangers which is awesome. How this is all related is because Dumbledore told us we have powers because of some Urquart's Law or something like that. This means that Cat n I are each given three special powers and we have a psychic connection along with matching wand cores. My powers are that of Sight, Healing and Shielding and Cat's is metamorphagus and Controlling the elements. We don't know her third power yet but I have a feeling we'll find out soon.

I also found something else today. Dumbledore told me more about the mystery girl Sophia. She was tortured to insanity by Alecto Carrow, Evelyn's aunt and is now in St. Mungo's . Yeah that's all for now.

By the time she was done reading which only took a few minutes, Cat had woken up which is surprising because it was Aurora who was the early bird and Cat the one who makes them late. Nat would usually have to scream into her head to wake her up but today Cat woke up all of a sudden.

"What's the matter?" She asked her through her head. Still half asleep, "Weird dream, that's all. So you found anything about Sophia? And why did mum call me Andrea?" Cat replied. "What? How did you know about Andrea and Sophia?" Nat asked her shocked. "I saw your dream too, Remember we have a connection." Cat replied.

"Ugh, I hate it when you get into my dreams. What if it was something about my crush?" "Girl, I know you don't have a crush. I can still read your thoughts dumbass."

"Anyways after you finished your dream, I had a dream of my own. I heard someone screaming "I don't know Andrea.". It was a soooo terrible. I could feel her pain and her screams still echo in my head. Then I saw a vision or I guess it was." Cat told her out loud. "You saw a vision? I thought that was my power." asked Nat .

"I know, but I think this was some sort of memory of mine , I mean I can have my memories right like how Aurora has her nightmare about her parents." Cat told her. "Maybe your right. What was it about?" Nat asked her.

"So what did you see?" Nat asked her.

"Something about someone named Regulus."

"Regulus? " Nat asked Cat. "Well I had this dream about a lady talking about some guy named Regulus with someone. He had something to do with Voldemort." Cat told her. "What did you see? Show me."

It was a cloudy night The moonlight was very dim and the clouds were grey. Inside a small and cozy house was a woman in her late 20's rocking a baby to sleep. She was the very same woman from her other visions! Who is this woman? Why does she looks so familiar? She looks like Cat but in this she seemed different, she seemed - old.

Nonetheless She seemed very comfortable in the blissful silence watching her baby sleep. But there was a look of dispair and worry etched all over her face. It seemed as if her baby was the source of her happiness. Her blisfullness was interrupted by a knock. As she gently laid her baby in the crib she heard her door being opened. She met a man halfway through her walk to the living room which means the man was walking towards the baby's room. It was the same handsome young man. She swore she'd seen this man somewhere! Why does this man keep popping up too?

Nat thought the man must be the woman's husband and by the looks of it, the year looked like there was war. The man looked very grave. His eyes were red and puffy most likely from crying. He looked at his wife and told her "Regulus... Soph, he's gone.". He was struggling to the words out as he was holding back tears.

The woman ... Soph ... was shocked to hear the news. She sunk into her knees and started sobbing, muttering things like "First Marlene, then Gideon and Fabian now Reg! Not Reg!". Nat couldn't help but feel terrible for the woman. She knew the pain of losing someone you love and she couldn't do anything about it.

"Soph... There's one more thing." the man told her gently as he held the sobbing woman in his arms. Combing his hands through her soft curls he told her "Soph... before Reg died, he sent Kreacher to Cecilia with information. Please Love, there's something important you need to know."

Controlling her tears the woman looked up at the man, her black eyes meeting his grey as they sat in an a firm embrace. "What did Kreacher tell her?" "Reg, he found something about Voldemort and tried to stop him Soph. Just like you said, but he didn't die with the secret. We need to protect Cassandra. Reg did the blood binding spell of the secret to her Soph and we need to figure it before its too late. I can't believe I lost my own brother because of my ignorance and arrogance but I will not make the same mistake with them. " the man told her.

Soph looked shocked with the new information until a new look of determination dawned on her face. "You're right Sirius, we need to avenge him for us, for our Evangeline and finish the task he started. But before that we need to put Cecilia and Perseus under the Order's protection." With that the memory started to fade and Nat snapped back to reality.

"What the hell was all that! I already need answers now all these new names just keep popping up. What is happening Cat?" Nat rants in frustration. " All I wanted was answers Cat. Just as I was close to figuring out Sophia ... wait a min! That's it. Sophia Black! Short for Soph. Cat that woman was Sophia Black. God now I won't forget her face."

"Great, we know one person. But what about the other mountain load of names? Evangeline? Wait didn't she mention that name to that man. What was his name? It was some star right?" Cat asked her.

"Sirius. You're right! Sophia did mention something to Sirius. Which means Evangeline is her daughter! Holy!" Nat exclaimed as she slowly started unravelling the puzzle. Now the girls knew two names. Sophia and Evangeline Black. Nat swore she'd heard the name Sirius somewhere too.

"Okay, I think Sirius means, Sirius Black. Could be mother's relative, I'm sure we have books here in the library that has information about ancient pureblood families. My family is crazy I tell you." says Cat.

"You're right. So Sophia and Sirius had one daughter named Evangeline. Sirius's brother Regulus Black knows two people one of which hold the key to vital information about Voldemort" Nat tells her gluing the pieces together.

"Oh god! Its just 7.30 in the morning and here we are trying to solve mysteries. Something tell's me today's going to a long day. But we need to inform Professor Dumbledore." Cat says yawning.

And she wasn't wrong. The day was eventful.

The girls had gotten ready and were headed down for breakfast when they bumped into none other than the satan twins themselves. "Hey Lee!" Cat chriped with a huge smile on her face, but her smile began to fade when he just ignored her and walked through. For some unknown reason Lee was ignoring Cat since the day they played Truth or Dare but today instead of slumping her shoulders and walking on she ran behind him.

Catching upto him (that guy sure does walk fast!) she called out "LEE! Wait up!" but he just started walking faster. Unable to catch up with him Cat summoned a rope from the ground and controlled it to move in a way that it would tie around his hand and stop him. It was a pretty deserted corridor so nobody saw her.

Now that Lee was stuck in her grip, she let him free and walked upto him. "Lee what's the matter. You've been ignoring us .. or rather ignoring me for a week.!". "It doesn't matter Tonks! Just leave me alone" Lee told her as he pushed past her and walked away. Cat was really hurt by his words because he never called her by her surname. "Please Lee! Tell me what I did wrong atleast." but he didn't stop or even bother to reply. Cat could feel her heart break but didnt give in and cry. If Lee wanted to ignore her , then fine. She tried to figure out what's wrong but she won't go after it again. Lee will talk when he wants to.

Her mood for breakfast was gone. So she just headed towards her first class for that day which was charms. She was the first one to arrive but wasn't surprised because everyone was still at breakfast. Even Prof. Filtwik wasn't there but he leaves the class open because he knows the Ravenclaw students arrive early. But all Cat could think was what Lee had done and she could't figure out anything. Ever since she'd returned for her third year its like all her feelings hit her like a truck. Maybe it's just a phase that she's stepping to her teen years, but never did she think that her emotions would take over like this. All these thoughts were spiraling through her head as she sat with her face in her hands sighing. 'Since when did life become so confusing.' While she was sitting there like that she didn't see a ginger walking into the charms classroom.

George Weasley was always causing mischief with his twin, so just like another one of usual days, the pair of them decided to prank the Slytherins (who always seemed to be their target - especially their arc enemies) and they casually decided to take a stroll at the charms wing. They decided that Fred should watch out and George should set up the prank at the charms classroom knowing that Nat and the other's had charms first. So he walked into the charms classroom thinking that nobody (not even the Ravenclaws) would be there seeing they're all at breakfast. But he was shocked to see a raven hair girl sitting in one of the benches. He couldn't see her face as she was facing away from him but he knew that he'd recognise that frame and hair anywhere. The girl was none other than Catherine Tonks a.k.a his enemy and he thought this was the perfect time to get back at her for what she did to him in the courtyard. Damn! He's going to pay her back for kissing him.

Cat couldn't see George Weasley behind her because she was too busy wrapped up with her emotions starting with Lee to wondering why her mother called her as Andrea. She didn't even notice George walk over her with a charmed water balloon, not until his shadow leered over her. In an instant (out of impulse) she used her wind powers and shoved the ginger into the air and let him hang there. George let out a shriek as he tried to balance himself and recover from the shock of magically hanging in the air.

Suddenly another ginger ran into the room with a frightened look on his face. Fred saw his twin dangling in the air, the sight was quite hilarious to see and he couldn't stop himself from bursting into a fit of giggles. "Shut up you moron, and help me get down." George yelled at him as his face turned red.

Cat gave a relieved sigh and let him down. "Sorry about that" she told him sheepishly. Fred and George were shocked to hear her saying sorry. They never imagined a Slytherin would break their ego and actually apologize.

"You just gave me a fright I assume you wanted to prank me but you shouldn't have snuck up on me. I thought you knew that." she continued telling him with a smirk on her face. That annoying smirk that always gave George the chills. He didn't know why but that damned smirk always made him edgy.

"Yea whatever Tonks, just be happy you got off now, doesn't mean you'll be off for the rest of the day" George huffed. "I'll keep it my mind Weasley." she retorted rolling her eyes.

"Well now that I'm here I suggest you don't prank the Slytherins now seeing that your egoistic asses think we're all jerks." she told them. "And why should we listen to you?" Fred asked her , his eyebrows raised.

"Simple, I'll snitch to Prof. Flitwik if you do. And you know he'll believe me."

"Complain box. No wonder Lee stopped talking to you." George told her coldly.

Cat didn't know the feeling, but it was like her whole world just became dark. Her stupid emotions came crashing down and each word and each look of hatred pierced her heart like thousand knives. She needed to keep her composure. She couldn't cry infront the very people she hate. That's all it'll take for them to torture her. She wouldn't let them believe she's weak.

'Get a hold of yourself Cat. Don't let your emotions control you.' she told herself. "Well atleast he used to talk to me, you don't even have friends who actually like you. They just hang around with you so that you don't prank them. You might be too thick to realise this, but you are no better than the "snakes" who you claim to be pure evil. Maybe you guys should deflate your ego to see that you are the actual snakes you try so hard not to be." she told them furious. Her hair was blue and red just like her eyes. Blue for sadness and red for anger.

Before they could reply, Nat, Aurora, Athena and Scarlet entered the room. Cat couldn't be more thankful for the distraction.

"Cat, what happ ... " Aurora started to ask when she saw the twins were in the room with them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Nat asked them with her eyes narrowed.

"Talking" they replied in unison.

"Insulting more like." Cat told her glaring at them.

"Its only morning and these two idiots are already giving me a headache." Nat told them sighing as she rubbed her temples.

"We weren't even talking to you Potter. We don't know parsletongue , hence can't talk to you." Fred told her with an icy glare.

Suddenly a sharp pain shot to her temple. She felt like her head was on fire. The pain was so unbearable that she fell down holding her head tightly in her hands whimpering for the pain to stop. Flashes of images popped into her head, a man near a basin with a locket in his hand, a pregnant woman feeling pain, a baby girl with short curly black hair and grey eyes who could be Athena or Cat with tears in her eyes, and finally she heard a menacing cackling - a laugh that she was all too familiar with. Then suddenly as if a light bulb goes off , the pictures stopped and the pain subdued. There was still a ringing sensation in her head but it was bearable.

When she opened her eyes she saw worried faces of her friends and surprisingly the twins. "Oh god, that was terrible." She mumbled. "You gave us a fright Nat! What the bloody hell happened?" Athena asked.

"She just saw flashes of images." Cat replied for her.

"How do you know that?" Fred asked her.

"We have some psychic connection remember? I'm starting to see her visions as well. Apart from hearing her thoughts duh." She told them like it was obvious.

"Oh yeah, we forgot you both are freaks." George replied cooly.

"We go to a school of magic you wackhead. We're all freaks." Nat retorted. She stood up still holding her head, faced the twins and said "Well, you guys better leave. The Ravenclaw's will come in soon.". With that the girls apart from Cat walked towards their usual places and sat down. Nat's head was still ringing but it was very faint. She was too busy focusing on the pain that she didnt actually care about the flashes. Cat on the other hands, was thinking about the images she saw and that chilling laugh. The all too familiar laugh.

Taking a deep breath and rubbing her temples she looked at the twins and gave them a soft smile. "Sorry about making you fly earlier Weasley. It's just been a crazy morning. Good luck with your prank though." she told them with a wink as she went and joined her friends at their table.

Fred and George were stunned by what Cat had just told them. Stunned because 1) She spoke to them civilly. 2) She winked at them. What is the world coming to?

/ AN: Hey guys, sorry for the late update.I know most of you are confused with what's happening but it'll all make sense soon. I promise. I know you prolly think I'm moving away from the story line . But I hope I'm not.
