Chapter 1
The Fifth year at Hogwarts had come far too soon for Harry and Elizabeth's liking and the time was still flying by. Weeks had gone by since the first day of school, and times seemed extremely hard for the last of the Potter familly. Elizabeth was sinking deeper and deeper into depression. Her favorite teacher, Professor Severus Snape, hadn't been to school once since the beginning of the year. She knew where he was, and it frightened her to no end. He was in Voldemort's inner circle, spying on Voldemort and waiting to see what his next move would be.
No one would believe her when she told them last year that Voldemort knew that Snape wasn't on the Dark side anymore. She told everyone that Voldemort had sworn to kill Snape. No one would listen. She pleaded and begged him to stay. He ignored her and left. But that shine of fear in his eyes made her think that perhaps he was expecting death.
Elizabeth's dilemma wasn't being made any easier by her friends. Nearly all had abandoned her. Last year, during the Triwizard tournament, Elizabeth's most treasured item that was taken away during the second task was Snape. With the help of Rita Skeeter's huge newspaper article bending and distorting the truth, everyone had already guessed the secret life of Elizabeth; she was in love with Snape. Of course, she had denied everything, but once again no one would believe her.
She had never felt so alone before in her life. Even Draco had stopped hanging around her. He had given up chasing after her and was now with Arachne Tennet, Elizabeth's best friend. Elizabeth's other friend, Echo Falguni, spent so much time writing notes to her boyfriend in the muggle world that she had no time for Elizabeth anymore. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were of little comfort, seeing how most of the Gryffindors were so against her since last year.
Fred wouldn't let George near her after the Triwizard Tournament. Neville was far too frightened to get near her, fearing Snape would show up and punish him for being with his "girlfriend". It was finally just decided that Elizabeth was just going to have to tough it out on her own.
