Lair of Serpents
By The Night Is My Friend
Summery- The five Potter children. All the same year of age. Three girls, two boys. Boys identical and two girls identical. The third girl was thought to be the prophesized. The others were sent away. One prophesized, or was it four?
Disclaimer- I own nothing except Kelsey, Faith, Fay and Harlan and maybe some others no one has ever heard of.
When Severus awoke he still had a maniacal grin on his face. Suddenly, if it was possible, the grin widened even more. The children could be used against their parents, nothing major of course, just some well placed pranks, some magic some not. He would have to teach them some prank magic, any magic at all!
He moved to the children's room but felt his grin sink as he saw them in various states of sadness. Silian sat against his beds headboard with Salas next to him with her head on his shoulder. Dalas was curled up next to Salas and Darian leaned against her with his hand on her shoulder. They were all staring blankly at the fire.
Severus quickly strode over to them. Silian spoke quietly.
"Why did they leave us? Are we freaks, abominations? What did we do wrong?" Severus took a second to realize they meant their parents. His icy steel heart melted. How could he be so evil, using these children against their parents for his revenge?
"No! Never think that, it was for your sister's protection from an evil wizard." Severus continued to try to convince them. He didn't realize that in the once clear sky a storm was raging. He didn't realize how Silian's eyes were like fierce grey droplets of water or that Salas had white eyes that appeared to swirl like the wind. He didn't see the electricity in Dalas' gaze, nor the ice in Darian's. So naturally he didn't notice that these colours slowly faded as he spoke his soothing words. He didn't notice the storm pass as suddenly as it had come.
Three years later, the four at the age of 7
Her eyes were closed, she was silent. She could hear the wind whisper in the trees and the soft footfalls of the Predator. She held her blade before her face and, with still closed eyes, she suddenly swung her sword and there was a clash of steel by her face. She moved into a graceful dance with her stalker. Their footfalls were like whispers in the wind as the swords danced in intricate patterns. Their eyes stayed closed and their breathing remained steady as they move like shimmering water. There was no advantage for either as the dance with the swords became faster and faster until their swords were a blur then suddenly they had both turned and their swords clashed against the two who had crept up on them. Now there were four swords whispering and cutting the air with silence to all but the four blindfolded. Suddenly they turned as one and knocked away the sword and pinned down the older man.
They pulled off their blindfolds and looked smugly at Severus who sighed at being beaten, again, by these seven year old kids. They were grinning down at them when suddenly, for apparently no reason their heads whipped around and they were leaping up trees. Severus got to his feet knowing that is those four had heard something there was something there. He waited and soon they appeared…
