The Seer
It was finally the summer holidays, Electra had booked a couple of days off so that she could spend it with Sirius and Harry; they were all sat outside in the garden with the sun shinning down on them. Sirius had made them all cocktails with no alcohol in them, and a salad to pick at.
Harry was waiting for Ron to come over, because he had said that he would come and stay with them for a couple of days.
"I'm sure that Snape's failed me in my exam." Harry told them. "It's like he was making up for the time he wasn't here at the start of the year or something."
"Don't worry about it; he's been like that with everyone since Christmas." Sirius told him. "Personally I think he's lost it, not that he was ever there in the first place."
"What do you mean?" Electra asked him.
"You know what I'm talking about." Sirius said.
"He's a good man really isn't he, this year did prove that." Electra told him.
Sirius looked over at her and smiled. "I think he's poisoning you again."
"Don't be so stupid, I haven't seen him since I left Hogwarts." Electra told him, Sirius smiled at her and then sat up. "What?"
"It doesn't matter." Sirius said getting up and walking inside.
Harry looked at Electra and then they both looked over at Sirius, Electra stood up to follow him.
"I'll be back in a minute Harry." Electra told him, Electra went into the house while Harry stayed outside wanting to know what was happening. "Sirius what's wrong?"
Sirius turned round and looked at her stood at the door. "I don't know really, it's just every time you do that...it throws me and I don't know where we stand."
"Do what? I don't understand." Electra said.
"You always do that, stand up for him." Sirius told her. "As though it's your job or something to protect him, he can look after himself; and he doesn't care what the hell we say about him."
"And how do you know?" Electra said. "He's a person as well, so that means that he can feel; he just doesn't show it that's all."
"And when did you become such an excerpt on Snape?" Sirius asked her.
"What, Sirius you really..." Electra tried to say but he cut her off.
"I really need to what, just hand you over to him." Sirius shot at her. "It seems to be getting harder and harder, I don't know why but I feel that I've lost you to him; tell be that I'm just being stupid."
Electra smiled at him softly and then walked across the kitchen to him, and wrapped her arms around him and then kissed him.
"I'm yours Sirius, you know that." Electra told him as a signal tear ran down her cheek.
"When I was in there, I used to dream that I lost you to someone like him; I don't know what I would do if that would ever come true." Sirius told her.
They heard a couple of pop in the back garden, and both looked up at one another. They went straight into the garden because they had been told that Ron and his brother's were coming by the Fire. Sirius pulled out his wand, but he didn't need to because there was no mistaking it they were Fred and George but there was no Ron.
"Hey Sirius." Fred said.
"Electra, Mrs Black." George said bowing slightly.
"Hi." Sirius said smiling at the two of them. "So where's Ron?"
"Oh he'll be here in a minute." Fred said off handled.
Then they heard something in the kitchen, they all looked over to the open door and a moment later Ron walked out dusting himself off.
"Are you alright?" Electra asked him.
"OH yeah I'm fine, but I'm not travelling with them two ever again." Ron told her. "They near enough threw me in the fire and could have ended up anywhere."
"Us." Fred said.
"We wouldn't do that." George said.
"Never, not our sort of thing." Fred said.
"But it does sound like fun." George said.
"No it isn't, it's very dangerous the two of you should know better." Electra told them, as they tried to keep straight faces. "Sirius talk to them won't you."
"What? What can I say?" Sirius asked. "I'm not really the person to tell those two what to do considering what I got up to when I was in school."
"Well you're a lot of help aren't you?" Electra said, and then turned back to the twins. "So are you two staying as well?"
"Nope we were just dropping little Ronny off." George answered.
"But we'll stay if you want us to." Fred told her.
"Maybe another time, when we've sorted the other room out." Sirius told them.
"We'll be holding you to that Sirius mate." George told him.
There was another pop by Electra's side, she spun round and was surprised to see a woman stood next to her; she knew her but that wasn't the point. But Sirius didn't know her and pulled out his wand as she grabbed hold of Electra's arm, and her eyes winded and she smiled strangely at her.
"What are you doing here?" Electra asked her. "Oh and can you let go of my arm, your holding it a little tight?"
"You know her?" Sirius asked.
"Of course I know her, we work together and I know you as well." She told Sirius. "Personally I don't agree with her marrying you." Then she turned back to Electra. "But him I would."
Electra stepped back and quickly pulled her arm away from her, she had forgotten that she was a Seer.
"He is a much better man then Sirius would ever be, you should have stayed with him Electra." She told her.
They were all looking at the woman and Electra wondering what they were talking and who she was.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Electra told her, but she only smiled at her. "Why are you here anyway?"
"A small problem and I need your help with it." She told her.
"Dinah, I'm sure that someone else will able to deal with what ever it is; it is my day of after all." Electra told her.
"This is war after all; does anyone really have a day off from war?" Dinah asked her.
"Fine, but not that long." Electra said, and looked over at Sirius. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Are you sure you have to go, and you are aloud a day off there are other people you know that I'm sure will help in your place." Sirius told her.
"I won't be gone long promise." Electra told him, and then Dinah grabbed hold of her again and they were gone.
"I don't like her, there's something about her that I just don't like." Sirius told them as he stared at the spot where Electra had just been standing.
"Maybe because she seems a little mad." Fred suggested.
"And she likes touching Electra as well." George suggested, making them all look at him. "Well she did seem to like it."

Dinah and Electra reappeared outside of a have see had never seen before, Electra looked over at Dinah to tell her why she was here but she only smiled at her and then started to walk towards the house which Electra followed a little way behind.
"Sirius doesn't know of course does he, or the two of you wouldn't even be together." Dinah said as they walked up the path. "Who would have thought it after what happened to you, with him or Lucias or was it both of them?"
Electra stopped, she hadn't told them everything what had happened they only knew that Lucias had taken Severus' place she never told them and even she wasn't that good of a seer.
"Everyone has a weakness you know that, and we found his." Dinah carried on. "It was quite hard but there it was, something from when he was younger...you!"
Dinah stopped at the front door and pushed it open because it wasn't locked, then she turned back round to Electra.
"You never knew did you, until all this happened but then it was too late because you had already married Black." Dinah told her. "The question your asking yourself now, isn't do you love him; but, who's the father of your child?"
"No...I know who the father is of course, what ever it is you think you know you're wrong about it all." Electra told her reaching for her wand.
"I don't think, like I don't think you'll leave now without finding out who the father is...and you won't let him die in there." Dinah told her.
"What the hell are you talking about, I won't let who die?" Electra asked getting annoyed with her statements.
"Deep down I think you know in your heart who the real father is, and that its going to tear you all apart." Dinah told her and then smiled. "This is his home, they came for him but he's still useful it seems thanks to you."
"Severus." Electra whispered.
"Yes, Severus Snape; I'll be seeing you around, just remember we know everything now." Dinah told her. "You should hurry; he hasn't got much time left."
Electra stepped forward with her wand in hand but Dinah apperated out of there leaving her alone, and wondering if she should really go inside; but she had to or she would never forgive herself.
She walked into the house, the pictures were hanging off the walls and there was blood on the wall going up stairs; she looked up and slowly headed up the stairs. There was no sound in the house part from that of her own heart beating twice as fast then normal, she stopped again when she reached the landing and looked at each door wondering which one to go through wondering if he was really up here and if that was his blood. She heard a small mourn and the sound of the strings on a bed, from the front bedroom; she walked over to it and pushed the door open.
There was even more blood on the floor in here and she could see black robes, before she had even seen him she ran over to his side and fell to the floor beside him and pulled him into her arms; he looked up at her barely able to keep his eyes open but her saw her smile at him slightly.
"Severus, you're going to be alright I promise I'll get you to the hospital." Electra told him.
"They know." Severus told her.
"I know they do." Electra told him; she held him tightly and transported them to the hospital.
They took him straight away leaving her to stand around alone and wait for news of how he was. She had been waiting for a bout half an hour when Dumbledore, Sirius, Harry and Ron arrived and all rushed over to her. Sirius took one look at her and then hugged her tightly.
"You're alright, when they told me you were here; god I don't even want to think about it." Sirius told her.
"How's Severus?" Dumbledore asked her.
Sirius let go of her straight away as Electra turned to answer him, only Dumbledore saw the worry in her eyes which even he was surprised to see.
"I don't know, they haven't said anything since they took him, but he seemed pretty bad and seemed to have lost a lot of blood." Electra told them. "Dinah's with Voldermot, I don't know for how long though."
"We knew that the fight would come from all fronts." Dumbledore said calmly. "But I'm sure that Severus will be alright, he is a fighter after all and very stubborn as well."
Electra smiled slightly at what Dumbledore had said.
(A/N: well there you go another chapter aren't I cared to you, well not that cared because I'm still not telling you who the real father is.)

"And how do you know?" Electra said. "He's a person as well, so that means that he can feel; he just doesn't show it that's all."
