My parents, the one influence in my life that made me who I am had torn me apart. I knew my parents wouldn't have wanted me to mope around for them but in my chest I could feel the pain still, the wounds that Voldemort had caused. After that night I wasn't afraid to say his name, only made a silent promise to bring the dark lord down, even if it killed me.

Aiden sat down in her bedroom, looking down at her hands. She didn't know what was wrong, she hadn't cried, not even when Dumbledore told her this news. She figured she was in shock, actually, she hoped she was.

Flashback

Aiden looked at Dumbledore's sad eyes, letting the words sink in. "W-w-what?"

Dumbledore closed his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't and wouldn't repeat it. She knew how close of friends Dumbledore was of her parents. James wrapped his arms around his cousin, hoping she wouldn't cry, he wasn't too good in comforting, but he felt the pang hit his heart at hearing that his aunt and uncle were dead. "Aiden?"

Aiden didn't answer, only nodded to Dumbledore and ran down the halls, she needed time to think, a lot of time. She wasn't about to go back to the common room anytime soon, where the sad eyes would follow her. No, she didn't need anybodies pity. She reached the Astronomy Tower and she fell on her knees while looking up at the dark sky, the stars shining brightly and she felt a wave of anger as she let out a blood hurling scream. She grabbed anything and started throwing things, making sure to break anything and everything; she couldn't help it, nor wanted to. After she was finished, she jumped on the ledge and looked down. It was a long way down, but her head was swirling with questions she wasn't sure she wanted answers to. She was about to jump where she heard a silky voice, "Don't do it."

She looked back in the cold onyx eyes and another wave of anger rushed over her as she jumped off of it and walked over to him, poking him in the chest, "You Severus Snape, can tell me nothing! I don't need your 'stop being stupid because it's annoying' comments!"

Severus Snape was unaffected by her words as she grabbed the broken chair and hurtled it out of the window, waiting for it to hit the ground. She heard a low sound and smirked as she knew it reached its destination, "I'm not giving you pity, even if sure you didn't want it. I know you well enough."

Aiden scowled at him and pounded her fists at his chest but he stood his ground until she fell to the floor in a messy heap. Severus leaned down to face her eye level. Aiden sighed, "I can't even cry. I don't even know why."

Severus gave a small smile, one she never seen before, "You're in shock, you'll get to the point of denial and then you'll feel it overcome you. Remember this, 'every bad has something good coming its way.' Have a… more pleasant a night then I expect you to be."

He left and Aiden sighed, curling up in a ball, thoughts and memories overcoming her.

End Flashback

Aiden sighed and brought her knees to her chest, hugging them. She looked around the room. Her vanity with her wand and crested brush. Her red bedding with the silver Ballard crest and the silver walls. Her father made this room specially designed for her every summer, changing it to her liking. 'I'm not changing it anymore, you can count on that.' There was a knock at the door and her eyes fell to James who was leaning on the frame, watching her intently, "Stop staring James, you know I hate it!"

James smiled weakly before walking in and sitting on her bed with his hand on her shoulder, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

Aiden nodded stiffly, tomorrow was her parents funeral. She hadn't, and didn't want to see there bodies. "I'm ready."

Silence filled the room once again and James cleared his throat, "You've been sitting here for 3 days, everyone has owled you, but you haven't even read Robyn's, your best friend."

Aiden just looked into James eyes and he sighed, "Alright. I'll come back with some takeout. Stay put."

Aiden watched James leave. She loved the boy to death, and with a look, he could understand all her problems, thoughts, and even fears. She furrowed her brows, it was funny how two related people who were so much alike, looked totally opposite. His hair was a messy raven black while hers was an elegant cappuccino brown. His eyes were a mesmerizing hazel while hers was an alluring jade green with a touch of pink. She smiled weakly for the first time in days, just from the thought of her own cousin. She sighed and closed her eyes, she felt guilty for the night she left.

Flashback

Aiden finally exited the frozen Astronomy Tower and into the common room to see most people asleep. She crept up the stairs and looked around for a change of clothes and Echo, she needed to leave tonight. She was halfway done when the door creaked open. There stood Lily, Robyn and Keira, all with worried looks on there faces. She groaned inwardly, she wanted to escape those looks but it seemed the higher powers wanted her to suffer, "Aiden, we heard what happened, are you alright?"

Aiden growled dangerously at Lily, "I just lost my mother who I had deep respects for and my father who taught me everything I knew, I'm peachy. Now if you'll excuse me." As an after thought, Aiden turned around, "I'll be sure to have James here tomorrow night. Have fun and take pictures for me."

Aiden went to walk by but Keira's small voice came up, "We'll be here for you."

Aiden ignored it as she went downstairs and growled at James, "Get what you need, I'm leaving."

James scrambled up the stairs, not wanting to be left behind while Remus frowned and walked over to her but Aiden dodged him and went to the fire, throwing some parchment in there, letting it whither away, "It's funny now life is like what's happening here. Voldemort is throwing the pieces of paper, us, into the fire, which is turmoil of hurt and dread." Aiden could feel Remus shiver as she said the name but she didn't care. "Goodnight Remus. Tell James I'll be in Dumbledore's office."

She walked out and found Sirius leaning against the wall, watching her, "Stop staring!"

She was about to walk off when Sirius blocked her off. "No Aiden, you obviously aren't yourself."

Aiden scowled and turned to walk another path when he grabbed her hand. She turned around and slapped him hard on the face. She pulled her wrist from his grasp and narrowed her eyes, "Don't Sirius, I don't need this."

With that, she walked off and Sirius sighed before calling out, "Be careful at least!"

Aiden stopped and turned around, her eyes softening, "I will be, take care of them, don't let them worry too much about me. I need everyone to be strong."

Sirius just nodded and the two passed an understanding and Aiden walked off, James following after her, had seeing the exchange.

End Flashback

Aiden finally lay on her back, her arms resting behind her, supporting her head. She looked up at the pictures of her and her father. She watched them all, remembering how he was the one to teach her to ride a horse, to fight, how to hold a bow and arrow, all the things he wanted to teach his son he never had. She had taken that place and he was happy. She had graciously accepted her mother's customs, courtesies and important matters to women of a pureblood like singing, the piano, dancing. She sighed and turned over and closed her eyes, "Oh, I hope you like Pizza."

Aiden turned over to see James with a small smile, a pizza box in one hand, breadsticks balancing on his head as he carried a Dr. Pepper and two cups in one hand. Aiden made room for her cousin and they sat down, "I don't know if I can do it tomorrow."

James looked up, he never seen Aiden speak of such emotions like this. She would usually deal with it himself, making him free to pull pranks and make her laugh, "I mean, I don't think it's registered to me that there dead. I'm scared that it never will."

James pulled her close and smile down at her, "Don't be scared. It will hit you tomorrow."

Aiden nodded and the two ate in silence, afraid to say anything more.

"Aiden, dear Aiden, where are you my dear?"

Aiden noticed she was in Gryffindor Tower, hiding in a dark corner, hoping she wouldn't be heard or noticed. She could feel fear spread through her body and the hair's behind her neck stand up. She saw those red eyes and she let out a scream this time, but a hand was placed over her mouth. "Now, Aiden, we wouldn't want anybody to hear you, now would we?"

Aiden bit the hand and stumbled over some couches, trying to get away from him but failed. The person was pressed up against to her on the floor; the gleaming red eyes filled with malice watching her every move. "You'll pay my dear, and soon, just like your parents!"

The voice wasn't sickly sweet anymore, but filled with rage as it pushed itself off and his voice dripped with venom, "Avada Kedavra!"

A green light made its way to her and her eyes widened in shock and fear as it hit her square in the chest.

"AHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME!"

She felt a pair of arms wrap around her tightly, shaking her slightly as her eyes opened in shock and she found herself at Ballard Mansion. She snuggled closer to James as another feeling swept over her, rage. It was Voldemort who had killed her parents and who had somehow managed to haunt her dreams at night. She wanted to kill the man, slowly and painfully, making sure not to give him the luxury of a fast way out of the hell of the world. "Aiden, are you alright? Do you need some water? Talk to me, I need to know your with me here!"

James sounded hysteric and Aiden had to smile at how he could loose his cool. "I'm fine James; I just don't want you to sleep in the guest bedroom anymore."

She felt James nod and she snuggled to feel safe but it didn't come, she could still feel the affects of the dream. She felt James fall asleep beside her but she couldn't and wouldn't. She watched the sun crept up painfully slow, but enjoyed how the colors of the sunrise filled her with something, hope perhaps? Soon she would have to get up and prepare for the funeral.

"Are you ready Aiden?"

Aiden took one more look at herself in the mirror. She had on a simple black long sleeve v neck dress that went down to her knees and also black knee high boots and a veil covering her face. She swallowed hard and walked out of the house, it was now or never.

Aiden heard people talking of how they missed them but Aiden couldn't bring herself to listen. All she heard was her heart beating frantically against her chest, 'I can't believe there really dead, no more coming home to mum's Sunday cooking, the only day she cooked. Or dad and I going to the forest to hunt some quail.' She felt the hot tears reach her eyes as they trickled down, she didn't even wipe them away. When it was time to see the body, Aiden grabbed James tightly as her heart swelled with hurt. Her father's eyes were wide and his mouth shaped in an 'o', apparently not expecting the attack. Mother had a different expression though. Her eyes were narrowed and her mouth in a straight line; was her mother brave to face death? She turned away from them as James hugged his cousin tightly, both of them having tears run down there face for the first time in years.

"Aiden, Hun, you can always come live with us after graduation."

Aiden shook her head at her aunt's antics of getting them to live with her, "No, I need to get out on my own. Don't worry about me Auntie; I'll be fine with time."

Aiden knew she told a straight out lie, but no one had to know, do they? Everyone seemed to want to talk to her and she noticed that her friends were all talking in low whispers. She couldn't face them now, so she walked out to the building's balcony. She leaned against the railing and looked down at the streets, full or life while they had no clue someone had just died. Aiden frowned, 'there may be a lot of births per minute, but there are also deaths, and no one would notice a thing. How ruthless and cold people can be.'

Aiden was shook out of her thoughts as she felt a light touch on her shoulders. There was Remus and he sighed, "I know what your thinking, it's written clearly on you face."

Aiden scowled a little and turned back to way the people walk or drive by, "What was I thinking then?"

Remus copied her actions, "That people are cruel and hateful, not everyone is like this. You know this."

Aiden rolled her eyes and was tempted to jump off the balcony but decided against it, "No, I don't know much anymore. I'm a wreck."

Remus sighed and hugged her tightly and he walked off. She sighed and watched him go, 'what am I going to do?' She shrugged it off and went to watch there caskets being lowered into the ground. That's when she figured she couldn't take much anymore and walked off towards the fireplace, not before seeing two aurors slip away and follow her.

When she got back, Aiden collapsed onto her parent's bed and hugged the sheets tightly to her body. She heard the door creak open and close with a click, "Aiden…"

She hugged James and that's what the two did for the rest of the day, sit, hold each other, and cried for there loss.

The next day James woke up alone in the bed and he looked around groggily. "Oh boy, where's Aiden?"

He jumped out and ran straight to the window and opened it. Aiden was outside on her black horse, riding through different obstacles while she shot down targets with her bow and arrow. "Things never change."

He watched her for a few more minutes, her graceful hands working wonders to hit the target dead on, even the moving ones. She also had full control of her horse which surprised him, he couldn't even do that. Sure he's father tried teaching him, but it never was much of his talent, flying was. "JAMES!"

James snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at his cousin, "I've been calling you for ages! Like I said, Come down and practice."

James hesitated but didn't want to leave her alone so he went down to the courtyard with a white horse. Aiden just grinned a little, "You bring a new meaning to knight in shining armor when you're on Jennifer."

James rolled his eyes and the two practiced. James was extremely glad however that Aiden vented like a man, he couldn't take all the crying and moping.

Soon, the two had later on in the week, spent time putting everything in boxes, the muggle way because Aiden wanted to know what to keep and what to give to charity. She stopped when she found old pictures of her parents and she stuck them in a bag instead, those she would take to Hogwarts with her. Once everything was put up, sent to charity, or stashed in the basement for later movement, she quietly grabbed the stack of letters she had accumulated over to break and started to read.

Lady Aiden Alana Ballard,

We send our deep regrets and best wishes to you in this time but there are more important matters to discuss, such as your financial findings. Being 18, you are of legal age to carry the Gringott's key that holds your fortune, please use this wisely and again, our deep regrets.

Head Goblin of Gringott's Wizarding Bank

Aiden rolled her eyes at this letter but took the key from the envelope and burnt the letter. She took the next one, she would get to her friends letters once she sorts out some business.

Miss Aiden Alana Ballard,

I have heard of the passing and I am very sorry, but there is something we should discuss, such as your property, Ballard Mansion. I do not know if you wish to sell it or keep it but I must have answer soon or the Ministry will soon take it on themselves to take the property from you.

David Dawson, Magical Real Estate of Britain

Aiden sighed and began writing her letter carefully with her neat writing, making sure to sound as professional as possible. Sure Mr. Dawson had been a friend to them for years, but only to her parents. She flipped through the others and groaned, she would continue the rest tomorrow, at Hogwarts. She took the letters from each of her friends and read through them, each saying the same thing. 'The ball was great, you should have come! We miss you, all the best wishes.' She threw them in the fire, not feeling the need to write back to such things when a letter caught her eye. It was in red ink, well, actually, blood, but Aiden was trying to convince herself it was ink. She opened it with shaky hands and read the letter carefully,

Ballard,

This is a threat from the Dark Lord; your parents were killed because of you, refusing his generous offer in 5th year. Bad choice, now face the consequences. The Dark Lord has his eye on you so you choose, watch your loved ones die or join the Dark Lord in his rein and power.

Aiden closed the letter with shaky hands, tears streaming down her face. She could hear movement below her and she immediately stuffed the letter into her bag, not wanting anyone to read it until she figured out who sent it. The door creaked open and James stepped in, "Aiden, we're leaving tomorrow, what are you going to do with the Mansion?"

Aiden smiled weakly while looking at him, "Tear it down, piece by piece."

James was shocked but he didn't blame her. She didn't want to sell it because it was Ballard Mansion! No one should live in it unless it's a Ballard. Then, he wouldn't keep it because its where her parents died. He sat down and looked at the stack of letters, "Did you get the gangs?"

Aiden nodded, "I didn't feel the need to write back to them, they had the same topics in each letter."

James nodded his head and he took something out of his pocket, "Here, I was around and uh… thought you might want it."

Aiden looked to see a box of jelly beans and she snatched it away and popped one in her mouth and opened another ministry letter. "Aiden, I really want to ask her out now, but…I don't know how to go about it…"

Aiden rubbed her temples; she wasn't having a good day, actually, a good life. She sighed and smiled, "Well…since we have a few days before school, take her…"

Aiden was in the Three Broom Sticks, it was in the middle of the day and she looked around curiously, 'why am I here?'

She frowned and looked down some booths to see two people talking, one with red eyes, she same chill ran down her back and she got up quickly and tried to get out but the arms wrapped around her waist, "Meet me here at 1, I'm sure you'd like to know what's going on."

With that he bit her neck and she gasped in pain.

Aiden woke up, sweating slightly. She looked around and saw James not too far from her and letters all over the room. She scrambled up to her feet and into the bathroom to splash water on her face. She looked up and something caught her eye. A bit mark on her neck. She screamed and back away slowly from the mirror, then she remembered 'meet me here at 1.' Aiden looked outside of the bathroom to see James still sleeping. She gathered her letters in a bag and scribbled something on the piece of parchment. She looked around and saw something move in the bush. She growled, 'damn aurors. How am I going to get out?'

Aiden then had an idea. She bit her lip, hoping it would work though. She got a safe distance and threw some floo into the fireplace and she ran up the stairs quietly. She hid in a closet and heard the downstairs door open and footsteps rushing around. She hoped she wouldn't get caught. Then she heard voices, she strained to hear them, "Where's Aiden? WHERE IS SHE?"

Aiden winced, James would not be happy with her later. "We saw the floo so she might have left already, come on Potter, let's go see Dumbledore, he'll know what to do. We'll even have the Ministry look into the floo network; tell us if she's used it." Aiden cursed under her breath and she heard the familiar blaze and she jumped out and ran to her empty room. She grabbed her wand out of her bag and opened the window. She sighed, "I hope I can still do this."

She jumped out of the second story window on all fours; she locked the window back up and made a run to the stables and grabbed Echo and Midnight, her thestral. "Echo, I need you to stay here until I come back for you, can you do that? Keep the aurors here?"

The Niffler made a sniffle and Aiden smiled and got onto Midnight and whispered in her ear, "To Hogsmeade, make sure to stay in the cloud and keep me stealth."

The thestral made a cry and made a dash, flying into the air after that. She held on tight as the thestral fly high as she relaxed a bit. She looked at her clock, it was 9 right now, it would take 3 and a half hours to get to Hogsmeade and she'll have enough time to look into the Three Broom Sticks to make sure it was safe for her.

She got off Midnight and nodded her head, "You know where to go, Hogwarts stables where they'll take care of you."

She pecked the thestral and she was off. Aiden quickly entered the Three Broom Sticks from the back and she saw the owner. She cleared her throat and Mr. Duncan, how are you?"

The old man hugged the girl tightly before looking at her, "You aren't supposed to be here. They came in looking for you."

Aiden nodded, "I have some business to take care of, make sure I don't get into any trouble?"

Mr. Duncan nodded and Aiden smiled and looked down at her watch, it was 5 minutes before she had to meet the man in her dreams, literally. She walked in and looked into her surroundings, there was no one there and it had a misty air, like in her dream. She saw two men in a booth, neither had red eyes. She sighed and was about to sit down when a boy with black hair that fell into his cobalt blue eyes walked over to her, "Aiden Ballard, I'm glad you could make it."

She would have thought him very handsome if it wasn't for the uneasiness about him. She sat down in front of him with the other man she recognized who had long blonde hair and grey eyes. "Lucius? Malfoy?"

The man just smirked and the other man spoke, "I'm glad you came, and I thought maybe I should tell you about your, reoccurring dreams."

Aiden widened her eyes as the cobalt blue turned to a gleaming red for just a second and she tried to get up but Lucius sat her down and liked her ear. She felt sick but didn't show it. This man was Voldemort, in front of her. "You killed my parents."

She couldn't hold back the choke as she stared into his eyes filled with amusement, "Actually, I didn't. My followers did. They have something against you. You had declined my invitation last time, and they saw fit to punish you."

Aiden swallowed hard as Lucius kissed down her neck, she wanted to puke but she would not show weakness. She held her head high and narrowed her eyes as Voldemort spoke again, "I am going to give you until March to give me an answer, if you side with me, you'll be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams, get everything you desire, have your way with anything you'd like. Much like Mr. Malfoy here."

Aiden shoved Lucius off her and glared at the man and stood up, "Until March then, but I doubt my answer will change, I seriously doubt it."

Voldemort's mouth curved into a grin, "Actually my dear, I believe it will, if you care for you friends and extended family."

Aiden heart broke right there, she swallowed and nodded, looking away, "I will think on it."

She ran out of the pub and looked around. She sniffed as tears ran down her cheek and she ran towards Hogwarts quickly. She opened the gates and ran towards the castle but someone stopped her. She looked up to see Severus there, holding her by the waist, his eyes intense, "Think on it Ballard, you can't afford it."

Aiden pushed him away, backing away, "Y-Y-You! HOW COULD YOU!"

Severus looked away; partly ashamed but partly in disgust as the usually calm Gryffindor was loosing her nerve, quickly. "I trusted you and you… how… why… wait, does Keira know?"

Severus swallowed hard and nodded numbly and Aiden's eyes widened in shock and she tripped over a root and fell to the ground, still looking at him. She heard some yells but she couldn't stop looking into his dark onyx eyes. She whispered, "I trust her judgment, but you have lost mine."

Several minutes later someone was picking her up and dragging her to the castle but her eyes were still locked with Severus whose eyes showed shame, and yet, hope? She shook it off and she could still hear the faint yells but the room seemed to be spinning around her and it turned black.

"MR. POTTER, HURRY AND GET HER TO THE HOSPITAL WING NOW!"

James groaned and he carried his cousin up the stairs, she wasn't heavy, but running up the stairs until forever? He looked down and saw she fainted and he panicked, "AIDEN! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

He was a mess as he slammed the hospital wing open and placed her on the bed while Madam Promfrey was going to work, and fast. James conjured a chair and sat down, holding Aiden's cold hand. She was white as a sheet and he hadn't the faintest clue why. He sighed and the door opened, his friends running in and looking at her. Some gasped while others started crying softly. Sirius was one of them; he bent down took her hand from James and kissed it softly. James watched his friend, he really was in love with the girl but why hadn't he said anything to her? He sighed and looked to Madam Promfrey who hadn't noticed the others came in as she said spells, gave potions.

"Mr. Potter, oh…everyone… she's quite alright. She's just in desperate shock and her body is extremely weak and tired. She had been getting some sleep, right?"

James looked guiltily at her, "No, not really. When we first got to the Mansion, she would scream at night and I would have to run and wake her up, it had stopped after I slept in the same room, providing some comfort, but she was always up before me."

Madam Promfrey nodded and looked to see Dumbledore had entered a while before, "Poppy, is there anyway to see what she is thinking or what had happened?"

The nurse growled dangerously at Dumbledore who flinched a little bit, "Albus! I'm surprised at you! You know exactly well how dangerous it is if I perform the spell while she is unconscious. She could never wake up for heavens sake! You'll have to deal with asking her later on, now as long as she's in my care, I will not let anyone ask her questions or slip potions to find out anything, she needs her rest."

A figure in the shadow smirked and slipped out of the hospital wing unnoticed while James continued to watch Sirius. One by one, everyone drifted off to go to sleep and soon Sirius had to leave too. He kissed her nose and smiled, "Wake up soon love."

He walked out with James, but not before taking one last look.

In the shadows, a figured smirked and walked over by the bed and placed a hand on the girl's chest and a bright light erupted in the room. Aiden stirred and looked up and gasped, "Professor?"

Professor Fiona smiled and shook her head, "Please be quiet, I'm here to help you."

Aiden nodded her head and sat up, memories came flooding to her and she clutched her head in pain. Professor Fiona rubbed her back comfortably and Aiden looked up, "What are you here to help me with Professor?"

Professor Fiona smiled, "Please, call me Roxy, I feel old, but in class… you know your place. Now I know what happened at the Three Broom Sticks."

Aiden stared wide eyed and was about to say something but Professor Fiona stopped her, "No, please, listen. I grew up with him, he's done terrible things and I want to help you, I have a score to settle with him myself."

Aiden nodded her head and Professor Fiona nodded her head, "Alright, come to my classroom tomorrow morning, we'll have breakfast, and be sure to avoid Dumbledore, he's nosy and he doesn't need to know this."

Aiden nodded yet again and she felt stupid. She barely said a word, "Pro—Roxy? What's going to happen?"

Professor Fiona looked around hesitantly before whispering, "He's going to try and use you to his advantage. Either way you're screwed, but there is another choice. Come to my office at breakfast and lunch and dinner."

Aiden nodded and she felt extremely tired for the first time. She settled down and fell into a deep sleep and Professor Fiona smirked, "It's payback time Tom."

The next day, Aiden snuck into Madam Promfrey office and said she was fine and needed to leave to shower before breakfast. Madam Promfrey reluctantly let her go and she made her way to the common room, changed rather quickly, and rushed down to Professor Fiona's office. She knocked and the door creaked open and she smiled, "Come in my dear, breakfast is on its way right now."

When Aiden entered, she sat down on a chair and looked around and her eyes landed on Severus Snape. Aiden cringed and looked away, "Now Aiden, Severus is here as well. I was teaching him to become a successful Occlumen. Which is what you need to block out Tom in your dreams."

Aiden looked curiously and Professor Fiona cleared her throat, "Voldemort's name was Tom Riddle back at school. Now, sit down and take deep breaths…"

After several days, Aiden had gotten it pretty fast which Professor Fiona wasn't surprised for. She could block her out for a minute, but her concentration would crack. "She just needs a little work and there both ready."

She sat down and took out a piece of paper and began writing, it was going to be a long month.

Aiden however, was ignoring Dumbledore and his requests to come into his office, which she declined and often tried to get detention which she would serve with Professor Fiona and they would train. She talked to the Marauder's still but was distant when it came to that day. They couldn't get a word out of her. And they were worried. When walking in the halls, they spotted Peter who was talking to some Slytherin's. They frowned and when they left, James cleared his throat which made Peter jump and turn, "What's going on Peter?"
