Dumbledore walked down a corridor silently, humming a little tune as he ate a lemon drop. Though something caught his eye. Nearly Headless Nick floated down the halls, looking almost panicked.
"Nicholas! What's wrong?" Albus asked, putting his candy away. Nick glided over to him.
"A student was attacked! By the staircases!" Nick replied. Dumbledore's smile faded as he drew out his wand.
"Get Serverus and Minerva!" The headmaster said before taking off towards the staircases as fast as he could. When he reached his destination he stopped dead in his tracks. There before him stood Peter Pettigrew and Serenity. Peter sat on the stairs in her shadow. Serenity stood, her dress (from the masquerade) and hair flowing around her in an invisible wind, a golden crescent shimmering on her forehead.
"I was sent to . . . . . . . To bring you to your father." Peter said quietly.
"Who exactly is my father, and why does he want to see me now after all these years?" She asked.
"Lord." Peter stopped. "Voldemort. . . . . . . . " He said, wincing slightly. "He was weak before, but he is strong now. He wishes to see you."
"It's late. As much as I would like to see him I am tired, and want to go to bed. Tell him if he really wants to see me he can come here. I'll be waiting." Pettigrew nodded and transformed into a rat, scurrying away as fast as possible. Dumbledore stepped forward.
"Serenity?" He asked quietly. She smiled and looked at him. She started to speak, but instead fell back into the headmaster's arms. Serverus and Minerva came up behind Dumbledore.
"Oh dear! Albus is she-?"
"She is fine. She only fainted. Would you two kindly go that way and search for a rat? He is probably long gone, but just in case." He said, pointing in the direction Pettigrew went. He then picked up Serenity and carried her to the hospital wing.
*~* The Next Morning *~*
Harry yawned and sat munching on a piece of toast. Hermione sat beside him. Ron had decided he wanted to sleep in. Harry looked up at the staff table Snape wasn't there.
"I wonder where Snape is." Hermione looked up and shrugged.
"I don't know. Serenity is gone too. I don't think she ever came into the dorm last night." Hermione looked as if she were going to say something more, but shook her head. Ron sat down across from Harry.
"Guess where Snape is?" He said, hungrily pulling food onto his plate. The two stared at him. "I was chasing after Trevor cause Neville lost him again. The damn toad ran into the hospital wing, and Snape was in there. Not cause he is hurt. He is sitting by Serenity." Ron took a bite of toast, and watched as Harry ran off, Hermione following close behind. Ron groaned and took another piece, and followed the two. The trio peered into the Hospital Wing. Serenity sat in a bed talking to Snape.
"And what are you three doing?" Madam Pomfrey opened the door, and stared as the three toppled to the floor. Serenity, having seen this, began to laugh and called over to them. Madam Pomfrey sighed. "Five minutes." She said before leaving. The trio ran forward and smiled at Serenity. Hermione and Ron sat on the next bed, and Harry sat at Serenity's side.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked. Serenity shrugged.
"I passed out. Not a big deal." The three nodded, but didn't believe it. Why would Snape be here if it was no big deal?
"Well. I best get going Ms. Riddle." Snape stood and drifted out, after glaring at Harry.
"Is it just me, or does Snape hate me even more this year?" Harry watched the potions master leave.
"He doesn't hate you, Harry. He is still a little angry with you, and you remind him . . . . ." Serenity stopped as Madam Pomfrey pushed Harry, Ron, and Hermione out.
"She is lying. Snape wouldn't be there if she just passed out." Harry thought aloud. Hermione nodded.
"You think . . . . Maybe Snape likes her? He has been hanging around her a lot lately, and with the dancing last night . . . ." Hermione said, earning a laugh from Ron. Afterwards the three made their way up to the common room in silence.
"Sorry! Madam Pomfrey wouldn't let me go." Serenity called as she ran out to Hagrid's hut for class. Hagrid laughed and nodded. Serenity smiled and looked into the sky. It was a beautiful day, the sky was clear, a calm breeze blew, and Hagrid allowed them to sit and talk if they wished. Draco stood in front of her and smirked.
"Out of the way! You're blocking my sun!" Serenity complained as she looked up at Draco.
"Do you really think a Malfoy is going to take orders from a woman?" He stared down at her. She sighed and stood up.
"No, but I had to try." She smiled and with one quick motion she slapped him. He stared at her in shock, and brought a hand to his cheek.
"What was that for?"
"For stealing my first kiss." She stood on her toes, placing a soft kiss on his cheek where she slapped him. "Though I suppose I can forgive you now." Draco watched as she smiled and skipped away, his confusion and surprise rooting him to the ground. Harry noticed her walking away from Malfoy and called to her.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To see Snape. Why?"
"Why are you always hanging around him?"
"Because he is . . . ." She paused for a moment. "Because I feel safe around him. He is nice to me, and listens to what I have to say. He is the first person who truly cared about me." She smiled softly. Harry began to say something more, but Serenity had already left. A few minutes later she stood in front of Snape's office door. Snape pulled the door, ready to give a detention to the idiot student who had disturbed him, but all thoughts of this vanished as his eyes fell on Serenity.
"Come in." He moved aside for her, and she walked in cheerfully. "What brings you here?" He shut the door and sat down.
"I can't visit my favorite potions master?" He shook his head a small smile crossed his lips.
"I have to admit. I do love getting visits from my favorite student. So, Serenity, anything on your mind?" He asked watching as she took a seat on a small crate beside his desk.
"Draco." She answered simply, getting an odd look from Snape.
"What about him?" He quarried.
"He stole my first kiss . . . . ." Serenity commented rather absentmindedly. A soft giggle escaped her lips as she turned to look at Snape. His face had turned to an awkward expression as he attempted to hide his fury. "What's wrong? You look upset. Surely your not jealous." She smirked. Snape shook his head 'no' but his mind raced with ways to get back at the blond Slytherin without raising suspicion. 'How dare he steal Serenity's first kiss!' Snape's mind screamed in rage. It took him a minute to shake these thoughts from his mind. Serenity was sorting through his papers curiously, and found a small green box.
"What's this?" She asked, looking to Snape as if asking permission to open it.
"A gift. For you." He said softly. She opened the box; her eyes grew wide as she stared down at the contents. A small ring sat in the box. The ring itself was silver, but on it was a crescent made of pure diamond, and wrapped around it was an emerald serpent. "I hope you like it." He nearly fell back as she soared into his arms.
"It's beautiful! Thank you so much!" She kissed his cheek then continued to hug him.
"Don't tell anyone I gave it to you though. We don't want people to get the wrong idea." He felt her nod as he brought a hand up, running his fingers through her hair. Everything seemed to drift away as they sat there until no trace of any emotion other then pure happiness remained. Each felt so comfortable in the others arms, so safe. A knock at the door broke the two away; Serenity sat back on the crate with a blush on her cheeks, and Snape opened the door to find Remus staring back at him.
"Snap-" he started when he saw Serenity. She sat staring at the ring a smile on her lips, and a blush on her cheeks. "Hello Ms. Riddle. What are you doing here?"
"I was asking the professor for help on my essay." She replied looking up at Remus. "I should probably go now though. Thank you for your help professor." She smiled at Snape and left.
"What was it you wanted Lupin?" Snape growled.
"Snape. I know you. Why was she here?" Lupin glanced at the retreating form of Serenity once more before looking back at Snape.
"I was speaking with her about the essay. Also. You know nothing about me. So if that is all I have work to do." Snape waited another moment then shut the door.
Harry walked back to the castle with Ron and Hermione when Dumbledore appeared before them.
"Ah! Harry! Just the person I was looking for. Would you please come with me? I need to speak with you." Harry nodded and followed Dumbledore to his office. He sighed and sat down casting a weary glance around the room. Dumbledore sat down as well and slid a photograph across his desk. Harry picked it up. A young woman looked up at him with a soft smile.
"Who is she?" He asked.
"Look at the picture closely first. Anything you recognize?" Dumbledore sat patiently as Harry examined the picture. She had on Gryffindor robes on, light blond hair, and. . . . Wait. She had on a necklace.
"Sir. She is wearing the same necklace that Serenity has." Harry looked up at the headmaster who nodded.
"When Remus told me of Serenity and that necklace I decided to look through some of my things. The description of the necklace caught my attention because I was sure I had seen a student before with a necklace much like the one you described. Yesterday I was looking through student pictures, and I came across that one. Do you know who she is?" Harry shook is head. " Her name was Marie. She was in love with Tom Riddle. They were married after leaving Hogwarts, and they had a child. As for what happened after that I do not know, but Serenity is Voldemort's daughter. I don't want you to become to close to her."
"Why? Maybe I can convince her to side with us. Voldemort wouldn't hurt his only daughter would he? We could use that against him."
"Harry. If given a choice between your parents and young Mr. Weasley who would you choose?" Harry said nothing. He would give anything to know his parents. Dumbledore sighed. "You can go now. Just keep what I said in mind though, okay?" Harry nodded and left. Dumbledore was wrong. She was nothing like Voldemort. He smiled.
"I'll show Dumbledore. Serenity would never be anything like her father."
"Why is that?" Serenity stood behind Harry. He turned and looked at her.
"Because. Your father is . . .. Well . . . Evil, and you're far from that." He replied. She gave him a questioning look. Harry sighed and began to tell her everything he knew about Voldemort, when he finished talking she just stared at him. Her face was void of any emotion. They sat in the room of requirement; it had a couch, pillows lined against the wall, blankets and comforters folded neatly in the corner. Harry watched as she pulled a blanket around her, bringing her knees to her chest, and buried her face in her hands. He moved to comfort her, thinking that she was in tears, but she looked up at him and she hadn't shed a single tear. She gave him a weak smile then pulled off her necklace.
"I knew I wasn't related to Amanda since the day she took me in. She made sure I knew that. So all I had was this necklace. I treasured it. It gave me hope that one day my parents or maybe a brother or sister would come, and take me away from her. I think that at one point I would pray to the necklace thinking that if I wished hard enough someone would hear me, but now I think I'm happy no one came. I think I would rather live with Amanda then ever be any where near Voldemort." She lay down, resting her head on Harry's lap. Harry smiled and wrapped an arm around her watching as she fell asleep before placing a soft kiss on her lips and falling asleep himself.

Ouchie. I have a headache. She sure does get around doesn't she? Giving a slap and a kiss to Draco, getting a ring from Snape earning him a kiss and hug, and a kiss from Harry after falling asleep in his arms. Whoo boy. I wish I were her. XD I must go now. I think that the toys are trying to free Buzz Lightyear too! Nu!! Hope you liked the chapter. Ja!
