//Dream//

"I want to see her Wormtail! Do not fail me again." Voldemort sat in a large chair with Nagini curled around his arm. "But don't you dare harm her." He growled. Wormtail bowed.

"She won't be harmed, master. I should be able to bring her here in three days time." Wormtail said quietly.

"Good. Now go."

//End Dream//

Harry woke up and yawned his eyes falling downward on the sleeping girl before him. The dream pushed to the back of his mind as he looked her over. She looked even more radiant then when he first saw her. A small smile on her cherry lips, silver strands falling around her, milky white arms wrapped around his, and such a delicate frame . . .

"Mr. Potter. Your eyes are wandering a bit to far for my liking. Stop now or it is a detention." Snape growled. His arms crossed over his chest, and a dark gaze set on Harry. Harry grew slightly red, but shook it off as Serenity woke up. She smiled and looked around.

"We're late!!" She cried and jumped up from the bed, startling both Harry and Snape.

"Good morning to you too." Snape said to her quietly. Serenity stood at the end of the bed and laughed.

"Oh! Sorry! Good Morning! I have to go now!" She ran off, leaving Harry and Snape alone.

"Potter. You are to go straight to the headmasters office." Snape said before leaving. Harry sighed and nodded before following Snape. During classes the next day Harry was allowed to sit beside Serenity and such, but they were not permitted to be alone together at any time. Despite the fact that Serenity remained a Slytherin, she spent most of her time with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

//Three days later [Dun Dun Dun!!!! x.X; Sorry]//

Serenity walked slowly to class, Harry and Ron at her side.

"Serenity, are you okay?" Harry looked down at her as she yawned. She looked positively exhausted. Serenity gave a weak smile and nodded. The two boys exchanged glances, but said nothing more on the subject. As the day drew on Serenity looked worse and worse, but she refused to admit it. At the end of the day she followed Harry out to the Quidditch field to watch him practice. She sat on the grass rather then in the stairs and watched him, her eyelids growing heavier every second. Two minutes after they arrived she fell asleep on the grass. Harry flew down wards calling to Serenity about twenty minutes later.

"Where did she go?" He asked while looking around. Finally he decided she must have gone up to the castle without him. He shrugged and put his broom away before going up to the common room

The next day at dinner Harry searched up and down the Slytherin table. He wasn't the only one; Snape sat searching the great hall for Serenity. She hadn't been in any classes that day, and even Malfoy looked a little worried though he tried his hardest to keep a vacant expression.

During potions Harry found that Serenity was still nowhere to be seen. She had been gone two days now, and Snape looked even worse then Harry. Dark circles under his eyes stood out against his pale skin, and he was even more bitter then usual. Harry yawned and began to stir his potion the dream he had a few days ago repeating itself in his head, and he knew that Voldemort must have her. Though this usually would be a bad thing, Harry felt slightly relieved. Voldemort wouldn't harm her, not intentionally at least, and for the most part she would be fairly safe under the circumstances. The only thing that bothered him was the nagging voice that said he would never see her again, or that she would become a death eater and he would have to fight against her.

The doors to the dungeon opened slightly, and no one but Snape paid any attention to this. Snape sat up ready to give a week detention to the student who walked through that door. Suddenly the room felt colder then usual, the warmth of the small fires heating the many cauldrons seemed to vanish into the icy cloak that filled the room. Harry, along with any other Gryffindor in D.A. last year quickly yelled 'EXPECTO PATRONUM!' just as depressing thoughts crept forward from the back of their mind. Some of the eerie cold was lifted, but still some students fell to the floor some in tears as their darkest memories clouded their mind. A dementor glided into the room with another dark figure following behind it. Fighting back the memories of his parent's death, Harry once again yelled 'expecto patronum' at the same moment Snape did. The dementor vanished, but Harry's patrounus (sp?) attacked the other figure and sent it flying backwards into the wall only feet away. The light shown on the figure, and slowly Harry, Snape, Malfoy, and the rest of the students stepped forward. Snape held them all back and pointed his wand at the figure before him.

It was a small figure, a black robe covered every inch of skin and a hood fell over the person's face. A soft groan was heard from under the cloak as the figure rose. The robe was black and fitted tightly enough to show it was a woman, but still was fairly loose especially below the knees where it flared outwards. Now if the silver serpent and crescent moon edging didn't give away the identity of the young woman the strand of silver hair falling from the hood did. Yet to Snape none of this stood out, it was the silver ring that occupied the figure's hand. Snape instantly dropped his wand and pulled the woman into his arms.

"Serenity. . ." He whispered as he held her close as if she would vanish forever if he let go. Serenity simply melted into his embrace, taking comfort in his warmth as he held her.

The class stared in awe. Harry glared at Snape. He never liked the potions master, but know he loathed Snape. It was bad enough having her be friends with Malfoy, but to be that close to the greasy haired . . .Snivilus. His father's nickname for Snape surfaced as he stared at the two. It was more so jealousy then anything. How dare Snape, of all people hold her like that! He should be standing there now with Serenity in his arms! Though despite Harry's feelings, the two remained in each other's arms.

Snape stared down at Serenity, who was still hidden by the robe and hood, and reached up to pull the hood away from her face. His hand brushed against her cheek, and he almost recoiled in shock. Her skin had been ice cold. She stood with her head resting on Snape's chest staring at the wall ahead with an empty expression; her usually cheerful crystal blue eyes were now a cold and dull blue. Her silver hair, despite the beautiful up do it had been put up in with many small, sparkling obsidian hairclips, had lost it's shine.

"Serenity . . .Come with me. Everyone else get out. Class is over." Snape led Serenity over to his desk, and she sat down her gaze shifting to the floor. Harry stayed behind, and much to his dislike, so did Draco. Harry made his way towards her first.

"Serenity?" He said quietly. Snape glared at Harry.

"Get out Potter." He growled. "You too Mr. Malfoy."

"But Professor! I want to know if Serenity is okay!" Malfoy and Harry protested.

"She is not okay! Now get OUT!" Snape yelled.

". . . . . .wait." Serenity looked up at Harry and held out a hand. Harry stepped forward and found she was holding a wand. He slowly took it and she looked back down. "It was good for charms . . ."She commented softly. "You have her eyes you know." Harry stood in shock as he looked from Serenity to the wand.

"Is this?" He looked down at the wand again. "My mother's wand?" Serenity nodded and looked up again, but at Draco this time.

"Your father says to keep your nose clean, and that he'll be seeing you soon." She commented before turning to Snape. "My father says he knows you have been spying on him, and to stay away if you know what's good for you. Also he wants Dumbledore to have this." She placed a black crystal in Snape's hand. Having said that she became silent again, and did not utter another word despite Harry, Snape's, and Draco's pleas.

Dumbledore sat in a large green chair with the crystal in his hand. Snape quietly shut his bedroom door, and sat down across from the headmaster.

"She's asleep." He said quietly. Dumbledore tapped the crystal with his wand and a black serpent grew from it.

"Dumbedore. Well it seems my daughter has made it back to you just fine. She is such a lovely young lady, it's a shame she was mistreated for so long. Though you don't care about her well being do you? After all, she is 'my' daughter. If only you knew what has happened to her." The serpent chuckled a cold high-pitched laugh. "Listen to me. I'm speaking as if we were old friends. To get to the point. I don't intend to stay away from my daughter for very long so I'll be paying you a little visit sooner or later. Be prepared." The serpent hissed and curled up in an attacking position, biting Dumbledore on the arm, and vanishing into the crystal again. Dumbledore healed the small wound and peered up at Snape.

"Serverus. I do believe we have a problem." He said calmly and leaned back in the chair."

Yawn. -Listens to Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson- I was going to write more, but I'm going to find my Dir en Grey/Malice Mizer Cd and go to sleep. I know it's odd. Beast of Blood isn't exactly the best song to fall asleep to, but Ain't afraid to die is. So night night. Oh! Also. I fixed a few of the first chapters so they should be a bit easier to read, but don't expect a Total revamp.

J-Chan. 3 kisses to the reviewers.
