Thanks!

XxXtAP-daNCing-sPIdeRsXxX- Yeah, I found out your new signature just before I started typing up ch.7. That was a little hard to type cause I like to get things right. I'm happy you liked the last chapter. It was really hard to write because I had so much to juggle. I hope you like this chapter.

Sunnflower- Well I don't think of Snape as a bad guy, I wouldn't hook up with him though. Well I hope you enjoy the movie. I saw it when I was 7 and since then I loved it.

New Reviewers Thanks!

Beth- Yeah in case you hadn't noticed that was the plan. (ch.4)

Butterflybaby- Thank you for falling in love and yeah I know it's a little creepy. Sorry about that. The scary thing is one of those nightmares didn't come from the blue, I actually had it. (ch.6)

Sophianwin- I thank you for both reviews. There's a catch to what you said about Lupin and you'll find it in the third chapter I think. Not positive cause I'm not looking at all my chapters at the moment. As for the line you suggested to me about removing... I can't do that, it is meant to be there for a... Anyway thanks for the review. (ch.2-3)

As for my beta-reader I don't know what I would do without her. Queen of the Elven City you are wonderful.

Ch. 8 Killers of the shadow

"Murderer? Murderer? Let me tell you a little something about murder. It's fun, it's easy, and you gonna learn all about it." –Tin Tin 'The Crow'

"Maia," Anya said, "what do you mean she was murdered?"

Harry rubbed his arm where Anya had gripped. The area was red signaling that soon there would be a bruise later. Taking a deep breath he looked Anya square in the eye.

"You daughter was murdered," he said. "It was your sister's ghost."

"What?" she said in disbelief. "H-how?"

"I don't know," he replied.

"No, that's not what I meant," she said, "how did she die? All the healers told me was that she forgot to breath."

"A pillow got held over her face, she struggled for a long time then she let go," he said. "She said something though."

Anya sniffled and looked at Harry. It was obvious that this particular news was not what she wanted to find out about her daughter. He reached over and squeezed her shoulder attempting to comfort her, but she shoved his hand away.

"You should get back to bed," she told him is a warning tone.

Nodding Harry headed back to the dormitories. There he was the good guy, breaking bad news to a woman who in a few months lost her sister, husband, and baby. Why did he even bother to tell her?

"She didn't need to know," a voice said from the shadows. Harry stopped whipping out his wand as a ghost stepped out. He gasped at the appearance.

"Destiny?" he asked.

"Who else," she spat seeming even more evil in reality than she had in his dream. "She had no right to know!"

"You're wrong!" he said his voice echoing around the walls. "She had every right to know. That was her baby!"

Footsteps issued from behind Harry and he turned to see Snape coming towards him, his robes were missing which made him seem naked. His wand was drawn and he had it pointed at Destiny.

"You," he said. Harry noticed that in his left hand Snape was clutching something that looked oddly like newspaper.

Destiny smiled and nodded. Now her appearance was sinister.

"Go back to Gryffindor tower and stay there Potter!" Snape ordered. Not wanting to stick around to find out what was going to happen Harry left at a dead run. He didn't stop until he reached the tower.

When he closed the Fat Lady he turned around and faced three of his peers. Hermione looked up at him from a very thick book in her lap.

"Where did you go?" Ron asked.

Harry held up a finger signaling that he needed a minute to catch his breath not that he was sure how to explain what had just happened. In that minute Hermione had managed to make room for Harry on her little couch. He made his way over still breathing heavy.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I went to Anya and told her what I had dreamed," he started, "I saw her little girl die and who killed her. When I was coming back I ran into Destiny's ghost. She told me that I had no right to tell Anya who had killed her daughter."

Nervous glances were exchanged across the room. Nobody wanted to comment or ask.

"Who did it?" Malfoy asked.

"Anya's little sister Destiny," he replied.

"Told you she wasn't innocent," Malfoy said sounding very rude. "She killed before she died as well. Her boyfriend."

Malfoy reached inside his robes and pulled out a muggle newspaper clipping. Glancing at it briefly he tossed it on the table between all of them. Harry caught the headline "SCHOOL MASSACRE".

"She killed her boyfriend?"

"Adrien Blackwood was discovered hanging from a tree in his schoolyard with his hands and feet missing," Hermione said reading the page slightly disgusted, "his girlfriend Destiny Nickson was found two days later strangled, raped and cut open along with Larissa Scott who drowned. A baby boy was found fifteen feet from Destiny's body and an autopsy revealed that Larissa was six weeks pregnant."

"Isn't it a little odd that the three of them died in the same week?" Harry asked.

"No what odd is those murders sound like our dreams," Ron said. "What were you reading about that condition?"

"Mactabilis Sominium, a rare gift that allows the living to relive the dead's fate or foresee what will happen," Hermione read. "The condition as Ron calls it literally means lethal dream."

"That explains it," Harry said. "Malfoy you tried to hang yourself, Ron nearly choked to death and Hermione was strangled."

"Put them in order," came Anya's voice. The four turned around and from there you can figure the actual events."

"Adrien died first," Malfoy said, "it was obviously murder because in order to hang yourself you need your hands and feet unless when you got onto the block and put the noose around your neck. You would still need your feet to kick the block."

"None of us know who was killed next," Harry muttered.

"Wrong," Ron said. "Destiny was still alive when Larissa died, but why would Destiny seduce her? My dream revealed that."

"She didn't," Anya muttered, "Destiny was dead set on murder. Didn't you say that your cousin committed murder and didn't remember how he did it Harry?"

Harry nodded slightly horrified at what Anya had been tugging at. He watched as she opened her robes and pulled out a piece of paper. Walking over to him she placed it in his hands. Reading the words on the page Harry allowed his face to contort with confusion for the names written on the page were 'Larissa and Dudley have been together for five months now and the real news is they are going to have a baby.'

"It wasn't his fault," Anya assured him, "in another entry Destiny had written that Dudley found out about the little one and was fine with it. She cast the imperious curse and made your cousin kill her. Naturally as a muggle he didn't remember a thing." "So who killed your sister?" Malfoy asked.

"Her husband," Snape said from the portrait hole.

"What?" Anya said.

"Willard Turner was a bad man," Snape continued, "that's why she killed your daughter Anya. He had taken away her innocence and the best she could match him with was his life."

"Then why kill Maia?" Harry asked.

"To rid the world of his blood," Snape said. "She admitted one more thing that involves Granger."

Hermione looked up from studying a piece of cloth.

"What?" she asked.

"She was going to kill you," he said, "now she can't do anything. Dumbledore is with her now if you care to speak with her one last time Anya."

Anya nodded and went towards the door. Once she was there she turned back to the common room.

"Harry I need to talk to you about something," she said.

(TBC)

I know that was a little confusing so here is a break down: Destiny killed Adrien then placed Dudley under one of the unforgivable curses so he killed Larissa. From there Anya's now dead husband showed up and killed Destiny and from that point on Destiny killed him and his daughter Maia. Get it now?

Well I'm posting this now and it is officially my birthday! Sweet 16!!! Please enclose birthday wishes in reviews. Flames will be dressed in my sister's old clothes, constructive critism is welcomed and good reviews will be a great birthday present.

I know that I said that there are two more chapters after this, but if I can get more reviews than I've been getting I'll give up an eleventh chapter and a preview of my next project.

Forever
