It was dark with only a light on the desk that was covered with papers, and a few bottles with ingredients in them here and there.

Severus Snape sat at the desk looking over some papers that were part of his research. The Dark Lord knew about his double spy work, he was almost positive about it. He was looking for something that could remove the dark mark on his arm. The Headmaster was also looking for a way to be rid of the mark.

Severus was getting nowhere when suddenly his left arm started to sear in pain. Knowing what it meant immediately, he jumped up and ran from the room and continued to go out of the castle and off the school grounds to apparate.

Once Severus got to his destination he joined a few others and bowed, always looking at the ground, barely breathing, and not moving a muscle.

"Severus, you have made perfect timing once again today. We shall be having a raid today, and of London, I am tired of staying quiet. And I have a special job for you my friend."

Severus did not look up towards Voldemort, but kept his head down, "What is it that you wish me to do my Master?" Severus could practically feel the Dark Lord grinning down on him, he had to suppress the shiver that was trying to creep its way up his spine.

"Oh, no Severus. I'm not about to let you know right now, that would ruin everything. Let's head out my servants."

At that, they all apparated to the new destination, the heart of muggle London. Once there, Voldemort ordered Severus to stay near him while the other death eaters went off to attack the unsuspecting people.

Voldemort headed towards a certain alley, with Severus in tow. It was at this time that Severus wished he had the emergency portkey, instead he had accidentally left it behind.

Going through the alleys Severus took a look around, seeing little makeshift houses as they walked. There were dead bodies of those who had lived there scattered around. He knew what it was like to live on the streets, he did from when he was 10 to 15, his father kicking him out because he had voiced his opinions against the Dark Lord. By the look of it, things were a hell of a lot worse than what they use do be.

The Dark Lord stopped, Severus doing the same right behind him. There was a group of muggles in front of them. Five of the muggles looked to be homeless teenagers and all were alert and ready to fight if need be, even the little boy that was with them was alert.

The other muggles just looked as if they had been out to go to some fancy restaurant by the look of their clothes.

"Okay Severus, it is time for your job," Severus didn't have time to ask anything, he was immediately hit with a curse. As Voldemort was taking care of Severus, the other Death Eaters began casting the Cruciatus curse (not sure of the spelling, sorry) on each of the muggles.

The Dark Lord was grinning a sickening grin towards Severus, "Now, you are to do as say." It was the Imperius curse that had been cased on Severus and it was to strong for him to break.

He was forced to take one of the hostages, one of the homeless girls and drag her away. Severus was trying with everything he had to fight off the curse, but he couldn't. He felt himself weaken each time he tried to through it off.

The fighting was in vain, Severus wasn't able to throw off the Imperius curse. All he could do was watch, he hated the feeling of being trapped within his own body, unable to control anything that he did.

He watched, as if from a distance, as he took one of the girls and started to drag her away. She was a strong one, fighting him with every bit of her strength. Though she didn't have much strength left, the Cruciatus Curse had weakened her a lot, and ended up passing out.

It was at the time of the girl passing out that Severus Snape knew what he was going to be forced to do. He began fighting with all his strength to break the curse. The Dark Lord was forcing him to rape the young girl.

Just before Severus was forced to begin the girl surprisingly woke up and started to fight back. He had to hand it to the girl she sure could fight. With another hit from the Cruciatus curse the girl was once again unconscious, and Severus was forced to do the thing he never ever wanted to do.

The other muggles that had been cornered were as good as dead and were left by the wall of the alley, lying in the puddles that were on the filthy ground. The dirty water soaking their clothes, and there was mud covering them. The few muggles that had been dressed up to go to a fancy restaurant looked as though they were homeless themselves.

Voldemort finally took off the Imperius from Severus, leaving him weak and on the ground next to the girl. The last thing that he saw was Voldemort getting ready to cast a spell on the girl, before everything becoming black, to weak from trying to fight the Imperius curse to stay awake any longer.

"Mom, please wake up, please. Mum…" That was what rain heard as she slowly began to wake. Before even opening her eyes, flashes of memories of what happened came flooding back, "Mum?"

"Eric?" Her voice cracked.

"Mum! Ye'r awake! I was wonderin' when you'd wake," Eric nearly pounced on her with a hug. It was sort of weird, Rain remembered the strange people in black cloaks cornering them as well as everything else. Though both her and Eric seemed fine, sure she was a little stiff but otherwise she was fine.

"Are ya okay?"

Eric nodded, "Yep there are nice people 'ere who too' care o' meh while you were sleepin'. I even gah new clothes mum."

Rain looked at Eric as he spun around to show her his new attire, not having new crisp, clean clothes before. The clothes were a little weird compared to what she has seen people wear while they were out shopping. They seemed more like they were for some very expensive school, with a little emblem on the left side of what most likely was the school symbol.

Eric was getting ready to say something more, but stopped when two people came up to them. "I see that your awake," the woman seemed to be some sort of doctor or nurse of some sorts.

Rain stared a cold glare towards her, and in a cold voice, "'ho are you?"

The lady seemed a little taken back by the response that she got. She turned to the old man that was standing behind, who had an air of power around him. He strangely had a long beard, half circle glasses, and some very strange clothes.

"It is alright my dear, you are at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry-," he stopped there because of the look of 'you got to be kidding me' he getting from the girl lying on the bed.

"There is no such thing as witchcraft or wizard-nonsense," Rain was being defense, and her best way of being defensive was acting cold and cruel.

"Yes there i' mum! I saw i' with my own eyes. The nurse lady used i' on meh small cuts an' they were gone, jus' like tha'! i' was bloody bril'ant mum!"

The nurse seemed a little taken back by the little boys swearing, while the old man just smiled before continuing to talk, "I'm afraid he is right. And you will have to believe it to because you, my dear, are a witch yourself."

Rain looked at the old as if he were crazy, "Don't worry, you will see, just give it some time. It seems that you had some sort of charm placed on you at a young age to with hold your powers from you and it has only now been released."

" Okay, whatever jus' tell meh 'ho the 'ell you are?"

"Oh yes, terribly sorry. I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," turning to the nurse, "and this is Madame Pomfrey, she is the medi-witch here. And, if I may inquire your name?"

Rain was trying to keep her emotions in check, but was having a difficult time. She was in a strange place, being told that magic is real and that they have schools to learn it. Her mind was beginning to get a little foggy as she was trying to fight herself from falling asleep again. "Rain."

"And what about a last name?"

Rain looked at Dumbledore, almost like they were having a staring contest, plus the twinkle in the old man's eyes were really starting to piss her off, "I don' have a las' name. Street rats like meh don' git one."

Madame Pomfrey took a sharp intake of breath, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the children that were placed in those conditions. She had seen in the past what the streets could do to a child, she had treated Severus plenty of times when he arrived back to the school from the summer. She knew about him living on the streets for the first four years of school. She had tried to do something, but his parents got in the way with any attempts to help the boy.

"Well that would explain all your other scars," Madame Pomfrey seemed a little relieved with the info of the way the girl got all the other scars.

"So I goht a few more scars? Tha' i' jus' great. As if I don' 'ave enough already." At this time things started to blurry for Rain, and she was struggling even more not to fall asleep. Madame Pomfrey noticed this ushered everyone out.

It took a little convincing from Rain to get Eric to go, but he did end up leaving with Dumbledore and the promise of candy and a tour of the school. Once he was gone Rain immediately fell into a deep sleep.
