FLASHBACK



« So petegrew, you are telling me that Helene Setendale is a threat for my plans ? » said the man that many people were afraid to name



« she has great magic in her, though she doesn't know it yet . It comes from her father » replied the animagus



« so we shall pay her a little visit and the dark mark shall be seen again »



END FLASHBACK



The door broke with a loud bang as Voldemort entered the house. In a matter of seconds, Flora grabed her wand and was in the living room . She froze when she saw who had entered the house .



It's him who talked first



« Flora ! it's been a long time . Still don't want to join me ? » he said



« Absolutly not ! and the reasons are the same than fifteen years ago » she replied, trying to hide her fear



« Too bad ! Well that doesn't leave me choice . Where is your daughter ? »



« I won't tell you »



« We'll see » Voldemort pointed his wand at Flora and shouted « Crucio ! »



« Where is she ? » he repeated



« up-upstairs » cried Flora between her screams of pain



« Good . » he pointed her wand at her again and said « You are not useful for my plans. I shall let you live . Finite Incantatem ! » he said to her before going upstairs, leaving Flora on the floor, still shaking from the curse



Voldemort quickly finded Helena, she was sleeping peacefully in her bed, unaware of the danger right in front of her . The Dark Lord looked at her and , without ceremony,muttered the two words that ended her life .



Avada kadavra



*********



In his bed on Privet Drive, Harry potter awoke suddently, gasping for air . His scar hurted . He had another nightmare about Voldemort killing people .



This time they weren't muggles but witches from France .



The worse thing is that the girl seemed familiar but he didn't know who it was or where he has seen her



So he did whatever he did everytime he had a nighmare about Voldemort : he took a quill and a roll of parchement and begin writing a letter to his godfather

Meanwhile, in the Setendale house .

Flora was sitting on the floor, crying in front of the body of Helena . It's been a hour now and flora's body began to change to finally be Helena .

Before her death, her mother had explained her everything . She had recevied an owl from an English wizard , named Dumbledore, telling her that the Dark Lord was after Helena . That she was going to play a major role in the final battle between good and evil and that she needed to be saved . With the letter was polyjuice potion, that could make somebody look like another person for about an hour .

Dumbledore suggested that they took the potion to inverse their role . .Then an hour later a wizard was going to take her to England where she would be given a new identity and continue her education in another wizard school named Hogwarts .

Flora didn't need to be told twice . She would have done everything to save her daughter . So after telling Helena the details of the plan, they both took the potion and waited for the Dark Lord to come .

The plan had worked perfectly.But for Helena , it didn't change the fact that now, she was an orphan

A voice brought her out of her thinking

« Are you Helena Setendale ? » said the man in front of her

« yes. Who are you ? » she replied

« I'm Severus Snape, professor in Hogwarts . I was sent by Albus Dumbledore. I trust you know the details of the plan ? »

Helena silently nodded

« I have a portkey with me . you just have to touch it and we will be transported to hogwarts » said Snape

Helena did as told . that was the beginning of her new life
