Hidden in the Shadows

Prologue

"I'll be back by 11:30, Mum!" Lily called to her mother.
Cassidy Graham watched silently from the shadows as sixteen year old Lily Evans stepped out of her home late one summer night. Lily was going to be a 6th year at Hogwarts, as was Cassidy. Cassidy was different, though. She was a Gryffindor and shared a dormitory with Lily, but Lily had never noticed her. Well, maybe she had noticed her when she accidently tripped over a misplaced book and spilled ink all over Lily's Transfiguration essay that was due the next day. That was the only time, though. Cassidy hated Lily with a passion. She didn't know why, but she did. Lily had been acting superior ever since she had gotten her prefects badge. So Cassidy hated her.
But back to the present. Lily, sensing somebody watching her, looked around nervously. Seeing no one, she walked down the sidewalk away from Cassidy's hiding place.
Cassidy smirked. Lily was in for a surprise when she got back. She touched the mark on her arm and immediately, 10 men and women in black robes and hoods joined her in the shadows outside the Evans' home. "All clear." Cassidy said to them quietly.
The men and women grinned and silently walked up to the house. One man knocked on the door, ever so politely.
Mr. Evans opened the door a moment later. "Er- yes?"
The man smiled at him. "Hello. Is your wife at home?"
Mr. Evans watched him for a moment. "Yes....Sharon!" Mrs. Evans appeared in the doorframe.
The man grinned at them. "Are you two prepared to die?"
The Evans' stared at him in shock. "What?"
"You see, I've come here to kill you. Are you ready?"
Mr. Evans stared at him. "Is this some kind of sick joke?" he said and made to slam the door shut.
The man put a hand on the door. "I assure you, this is no joke." he said. "Avada Kedavra."
Cassidy smiled from the shadows, quickly cast the Dark Mark into the sky above the Evans' home, and left to the safety of her own home, not wanting to stick around to watch them set fire to Perfect Prefect Lily's house. The neighbors would be arriving soon.
"Where are you going?" the man asked her, seeing her set off.
"Home." Cassidy said. "I cannot apparate, so I'm in more danger than you are."
The man rolled his eyes. "You aren't allowed to leave, not while I'm here." he said, grabbing her arm.
"And what authority do you have?"
The man pulled back his hood, revealing the white blonde hair of Lucius Malfoy. "That of the Dark Lord." he hissed, and yanked her back toward the house.
"Torch it." he hissed to her.
Cassidy glared at him, yanked her arm out of his grasp and threw a match in through the open door.
Lucius Malfoy grinned. "Good." he murmered. "Very good indeed."
