Chapter One: The Dark Lord Has Returned
"Eekie! This is an emergency assembly!" Lillith yelled as she started to drag her out of bed.
"No...Sleep good..."
"Eekie! What don't you understand about EMERGENCY?"
"Tell me what it is and I'll let you know if I think it's more important than my sleep. Besides…its almost midnight,"
"The Dark Lord has been revived and Death Eaters have been spotted all around the school grounds!"
Eekie just pulled the blankets closer around her. Lillith ripped them off, threw her robes on her, and dragged her down to the main hall. They burst through the doors and sat down just in time to hear the headmaster speak. Eekie just glared at Lillith while listening to the headmaster.
"As many of you already know, the Dark Lord has been revived," the students all gasped and grew worried looks on their faces, "He was last spotted in this area. How he got to America, we don't know, but he seems to be looking for someone. The Death Eaters were spotted searching all around this area not too long ago. As soon as we can, we will get you children on the train and back to your homes. But please, whatever you do, don't leave your common rooms. Stay there until a teacher has come to escort you out. Is that understood?"
The children burst into screams, tears, and yelling. It was now a riot. Lillith sat at the house table looking worried. By then, Eekie had fallen back asleep. How is that girl not worried at all?
Soon the heads of the houses were leading their students back to their rooms. Lillith stayed to the back with Eekie, making sure that she would pay attention to what was happening.
"Eekie, how are you remaining so calm? This is the Dark Lord we are talking about here! He kills without a thought! He won't use any restraint just because we are children!" Lillith said.
"No problem. I'm pyrokinetic remember? I'll just create a diversion and run away,"
"Eekie, it's not that simple. If I thought that it was, I'd use my occulancy powers to hide,"
They arrived to the common room in the West Tower. Eekie flopped down in the nearest recliner. Lillith started to climb up to the dormitories.
"Why aren't you going to pack?"
"Why do you see this as such a big problem? Everyone knows that he's only after Harry Potter. I think he's just getting his old supporters back and they lost their way. Besides, I have no place to go so I'm just staying here," she lay back on the recliner and closed her eyes.
"That's it, I'm writing my dad. You are staying with us so get packing!" Lillith said as she jumped down from the ladder, whipped out a piece of parchment and started to write.
Eekie got out of the chair and climbed up the ladder. She was at this school for four years and nothing bad had happened. Where would she go if something really did happen? These thoughts kept going through her head as she packed her clothes and spell books into a backpack. Lillith soon came up, her black dreads flying everywhere as she frantically packed. Eekie just looked out the window. She'd have to leave the only place that she'd considered home. It looked like she'd be lost in the foster care system forever. Suddenly, one of the other girls in the room screamed.
"What is it?" Eekie said as she rolled the sleeves up on her robes, ready to cast a spell.
"There...look!" the girl pointed out the window, "The Dark Mark, he's here!"
Lillith ran over to look, "Damn...we have less time than expected...does anyone here know how to Apperate?" she asked.
Eekie raised her hand.
"I know you already idiot! Is anyone an animagus? I won't tell, but we need some way for us to escape..."
No one raised their hands.
"Is anyone up to escaping now before the teachers come?" she asked, now more frantic than ever.
There was no reply.
"Well then, I guess they are going to just wait until the teachers come. I don't know about you Lillith, but I'm leaving." Eekie said as she opened up the window.
"Agreed," Lillith said as she grabbed her broom and jumped through the window, followed by Eekie who jumped onto the end of it.
They tried to fly straight ahead, but were stopped by an enormous Death Eater who was barely being held up by his broom. Lillith tried to get around him, but he was too fast. She pulled out her wand but was too slow.
"Petrificus Totalus!" cried the Death Eater as the two girls started to fall the ground. He quickly zoomed down and caught them. Witches like these could be useful to the Dark Lord. When he caught them, it seemed as if only one had been hit by the spell.
Eekie was squirming rapidly in his grasp as she kicked, punched, bit, and head butted the Death Eater. He just laughed as they floated down to the ground.
"He'll know exactly what to do with you..." the man said as he carried the two girls off into the forest. He forced a drop of a powerful sleeping draft into each of their mouths as he ran through the forest to the Dark Lord.
Lillith was the first to wake and realized that she wasn't petrified anymore. They were in a cave surrounded by Death Eaters. She shook Eekie until she woke up.
"What are we going to do now?" Eekie asked.
"Well, we could wait here and see what happens,"
"Any other choices?"
"We could try to take out some of the Death Eaters using alchemy instead of magic..."
"Lillith, they probably went to school here! They all know alchemy!"
"Then I guess we wait to see the Dark Lord,"
There was silence for a moment.
"Why does everyone call him the Dark Lord? It always confuses me. We should call him by his real name and show him that he is no better than the rest of us!" Eekie said.
"You...are such an idiot. But, I guess not knowing is due to living with muggles. And sleeping during Defense Against the Dark Arts." Lillith laughed.
"I'm cold...HEY!" Eekie called out to the Death Eaters who were guarding them, "I'M COLD! CAN WE HAVE SOME FIRE IN HERE?" she yelled.
One of them came in, "What do you brats want?"
"To say that you're an asshole!" Lillith said.
"What did you call me you little-" the man raised his fist but was stopped by another. He quickly turned to see who it was and fell on one knee.
"Are these the girls you wanted me to see?" a snake-like voice said from the hooded figure.
"Yes,"
"Leave us for a moment," he hissed.
"Yes sir," the man trotted back out to the entrance of the cave.
The hooded man faced the girls. He walked around them in a circle before looking at them more closely. He looked at Lillith first.
"Girl, what is your surname?" he asked coldly.
"Why do you want to know?"
He slapped her across the face, "You must learn to answer your elders,"
"...it's Snape,"
"Snape you say? Interesting..." he turned to Eekie who was curled up in her robes.
"And you? What is yours?"
"I'm cold..." she said.
He slapped her as well, "Tell me!"
"I said that I was cold, can I have just a little bit of fire? Hell, even a match would-"
He slapped her again.
"Damn! Could you stop that? Just because you have power you think that everyone is afraid of you! Well you know what? I'm not! I'm not afraid to call you by your name, unlike your lackeys. You deserve no more respect than the muggles!"
"Riddle, shut the hell up, you're going to get us killed..." Lillith whispered.
"What did you call her?" Voldemort asked.
"Riddle," Lillith answered.
"Can I please have a match? I'm cold! If it means setting my wand on fire I will!" Eekie hollered.
"Eekie! No! Don't light your wand on fire again! IT HAS A PHEONIX FEATHER IN IT YOU IDIOT! NOOOO!"
She didn't listen and used her pyrokinetic powers to start a small flame. Voldemort and Lillith just stared at her as if she was and idiot and then ran. Eekie then realized what Lillith had been saying, dropped her wand, and fled after her. Once she got out of the cave Lillith grabbed her hand and ran.
"You are such an idiot! Thank GOD!" Lillith said as the two ran for the nearest town.
"What happened to Voldemort?"
Lillith shuddered, "His men came and told him that they had successfully blown up the school and annihilated everyone,"
Eekie stared blankly as they continued running. All of her teachers, her classmates, destroyed. Her home was destroyed. Lillith put a comforting hand on her shoulder once they started to walk.
"Don't worry; my dad will help you get into a new school. I promise, you'll never have to go live with those muggles ever again..."
Eekie's red eyes shined in the dark as they started to walk. The town was coming up and they needed to get tickets out of the area quickly. They headed over to the only open building so late at night.
"Lillith! Eekie! How many times have I told you not to sneak out at night to get butterbeer for everyone!" the bartender teased.
"Nebula, it's an emergency! When does the next train leave for New York?" Lillith asked.
"What happened?"
"Death Eaters just blew up the school!"
"Oh my god..." Nebula covered her mouth.
"When does the next train leave? We need to get out of here! The Dark Lord knows that we escaped and may be coming after us..." Eekie demanded.
"The next train departs in ten minutes. Here, take these tickets. You two get out of here while I write to the Ministry of Magic..." Nebula said as she shoved tickets into the girl's hands.
"Thank you," they said as they ran out the door.
The two ran through the little mountain town and barley made it in time to jump onto the train. They walked to their compartment and sat down. Two others were there. One was a very tattered looking man and the other was what looked like someone from the Ministry of Magic.
"Hello," Lillith greeted them both.
"Good evening," replied the tattered man.
Eekie plopped down next to him, "Hiya!"
He looked at her eyes and immediately shifted his weight towards the window. Eekie was used to this by now and started to play with the sleeves of her robe. Lillith opened up her bag and pulled out her books and dumped all of the assignments out.
"Guess I did all of this for nothing..." she laughed.
"That's why I don't do it!"
"...you plan for this kind of thing to happen?"
"Yup!"
The neatly dressed man turned to look at them.
"Yes?" Lillith asked.
"You didn't just come from the school did you?"
"Only known survivors so far," Lillith replied.
"Thank God! I didn't want to have to report back to the ministry in England that no one survived..."
"So you are with the Ministry of Magic then? Good. Do you know how we could possibly get a hold of my dad?" Lillith asked.
"I have an owl with me," he said as he reached into the luggage rack and pulled out a cage.
"Oh thank you so very much...um...will your owl be able to reach England?"
"Of course. Why? Who do you need to send it to?"
Lillith started to write the letter to her dad telling him to set up a portkey out of New York to the Ministry of Magic in London, "I need to send it to Professor Severus Snape,"
The man looked at her wide eyed as he thought Severus can reproduce? I didn't think it was possible...
