Disclaimer: No matter how much I try to tell myself that I'm just as good a writer as J.K. Rowling, I can't deny the fact that she wrote Harry Potter and I'm just a lowly fanfic writer. So no, I don't own any of these characters, J.K. does. Oh, but I do own Chammy, her Dad, her Mom and other extra characters that I made up. R/R!





PROLOGUE: THE WARNING

It was mid-winter, the air was filled with a cool breeze and the ground was covered lightly with little specks of snow. There was hustle and bustle all throughout Diagon Alley. Everyone, it seemed, was out in the cold doing a bit of last minute Christmas shopping.

Outside from the Leaky Cauldron came a young man and a woman, a couple. The man was slowly edging away from the heavy crowd, gently guiding his pregnant wife. Shortly after, they bump into one of their friends Naquita Moor, a seer.

The woman reached out to shake her friends hand. As she clasped her mitten-clad hand, Naquita suddenly went rigid. With her eyes half shut she said the following lines filled with vindication and morose.

"Two have been sent forth

Infants, one more powerful than the other

Great they are in their similarities

But even greater in their differences

One will be born of the lion

The other, of the serpent

Both will grow in power and glory

But the dark mark will soon be cast

The days will be dim for the lion

But glorious for the serpent

For the glory of the earth

The serpent princess should be kept away.

"So, I tell you now, once the lion and serpent are born, the serpent should be hidden," Naquita said, finally letting go of the woman's hand, "and you have to promise that you will do as I tell you."

"But Naquita, how are we suppose to do that?" asked the man.

"Hide the girl, the serpent princess. Bind her powers and that of her descendants as well."

"Uh, o. o.okay Naquita," the woman stammered, still unsure of what they are to do.

Then they said their goodbyes and left.



**** A couple of months later ****

"They're beautiful," the man said holding an infant in his arms, "they both are."

"Yes," said the woman as she gently caressed her baby boy's cheek.

"But soon we have to hide her," the man said as he sadly hugged the child in his arms, the serpent princess.

"Yes, we do," said the woman, "Professor Dumbledore will be there when we send her to my cousin."

A week later, the little girl was indeed hidden with her muggle aunt and uncle with her powers bound. The couple said their final goodbye to their only daughter, Jamilla Potter.
