Sera's POV

"YOU ARE WHAT!" My dad yelled at me, he found out I was dating Harry and boy was he pissed.

I slowly uncovered my ear, "OK DAD YOU DON'T HAVE YOU YELL I'M ONLY TWO FEET AWAY!"

"Both of you stop," my mom said as she walked over to dad and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Severus, please calm down." He looked at her as if she belonged in an insane asylum. "CALM DOWN HOW THE BLOODY HELL CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN OUR DAUGHTER IS DATING POTTER!" I simply rolled my eyes as I snuck out of the room as they began to argue about something or other. After that I walked down to the Gryffindor common room, to meet up with Kiyoko. After I finally found her she let me in the Gryffindor common room, and as soon as I stepped in I got an array of glares. "Don't mind them," was the only thing Kiyoko said to me. Harry on the other hand was acting a little odd around me, but still gave me a hug and a soft kiss. "Harry what's wrong? Your acting a little in lack of a more literate term, strange."

"Oh its nothing… really," he said to me with a weak smile. There was something wrong I knew it well. I looked at him with sincerity, "Come on Harry, you know you can tell me anything." He just shook his head then sat down, I was going to sit next to you when Kiyoko came up behind me, "Hey Sera, could you help me please." I looked from her to Harry, then back to her, "ummm…. Yeah sure." Slowly I followed her up to her bed, to more or less, help her pack. "Christmas! My favorite holiday, I can't wait can you." Still folding some of her clothes and placing them in the trunk I gave a slight shrug. To tell you the truth, I'm not to fond on really any holidays. They actually depress me quite a bit. While we were half way done with the packing, my hawk flew in placing two note in my hand. The first one, from professor McGonagall was just letting me know I was now a registered metamorphoigi and that the odd thing was I had no fingerprints or real marks to trace me by. After thinking about it for a while it dawned on me, that's precisely why I was never caught for the killing. As I looked at the second, blood red letter, everyone in the common room gave a slight gasp. "What its just a red note," I said looking at them puzzled.

"Sera, that's no ordinary red note that's a howler," I looked over at Kiyoko as is she was mental. But ignored her I was just going to read it, well as soon as I opened it, the damned thing jumped from my palm and bit me! I started swearing as the letter was saying something. "SERAFINA ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!"

"YOUR FUCKING LETTER BIT ME!" I said wiping around glaring at nothing more that a levitation piece of paper.

"Watch you language girl," my fathers voice echoed of from the paper. "I want you to report to my office NOW do-"

"Can I go say bye to Kiyo since she leaving soon?" I felt idiotic talking with the paper.

"FINE! But after that you get your ass here, do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal sir." After that the paper ripped itself then fell onto the floor. I just stood there giggling to myself as everyone else watched in shock. Kiyoko then walked up behind me, "Sera… I've got to go, my dad is going to come pick me up in a matter of minutes." She had a weak smile as she lifted some of her stuff. "Hey I'm coming to say bye, here let me help you," I lifted some more of her bags as Harry also helped as we walked to meet up with Lupin. As we made our way to the entrance, Kiyo started telling me about how she was going to go to the Weasley's for Christmas day and maybe spend the rest of the break with Malfoy. "DAD!" Kiyoko exclaimed as she ran the rest of the way to her dad, "Kiyo, oh Harry, and Sera, how are you?"

"I'm fine," Harry replied.

"Could be better," I said giving a half hearted smile. I said my good byes and told Kiyo to write if she could, then it was just Harry and I. We stared walking together, silently, and apart, it felt so odd, but then Harry stopped me. "Sera.. I think, no I know I should tell you this." I looked at him then listed his head, "Harry, wha- what's wrong?"

"We are, Sera, we aren't going to work out I mean I'm sorry I really am but its just, we aren't meant to be" He said I stood there my legs felt weak and tears filled my eyes as he walked away, leaving me, alone. After he was out of site I ran, just to get my wits back and to stop crying. I then took a deep breath as I walked into my fathers office. "I see you finally decided to sh-"

"Sorry for keeping you waiting," I said sitting across from him, I didn't have the fight left in me. He seemed like he was about to say something when he stopped himself, we then both stared at a note that and owl dropped on his desk. He then gripped his left forearm and picked up the note, reading its silently to himself. He then got a some what scared look across his face, "Sera.. Come with me." His voice was very shaky as he spoke. I Slowly followed him up on to the seventh floor and walked through the door into the RoR. As we walked in I had a cold chill run up my spine and heard a hissing voice from in the distance. Slowly after walking beside my father I spotted a tall extraordinarily pale man standing, waiting for us it seemed. As I stood in front of this snake looking man, my heart had jumped into my thought and my stomach dropped. "Severus and Serafina I presume?" The man hissed as my father nodded. "So you did lie to me, how dare you,"

"No that's not true, I lied about killing Sera here, because I knew she would be useful if I let her live, but Marissa is very well dead." He said calmly I was shocked he could say that my mother was dead when she was still living I was just to scared to even speak. The Snake man glared at my father seeming to find a trace of a lie, but then looked over at me. "So you think your daughter could also be helpful," he smirked. "Then you won't mind is I do this then?" I felt my left arm jerk up as he grabbed my arm and ripped up my sleeve. "I don't see why that is proving a point," my dad stated I could sense that he was worried. "Then if you don't want her to live and obey me, like you are then I'll kill you and force you daughter her watch you die slowly."

"NO!" I yelled, " do what you want to me, just don't hurt him."

The man smiled then pressed his wand agents my skin, "Morsmordre!"

I let out a yelp of pain closing my eyes tightly as a excruciating pain traveled through my body. My body felt weak, and I fell on to my knees the man laughed and I felt my fathers trying to help me up. I let out a sob and pulled my sleeve down again covering my newly marked arm, its was throbbing, I was crying, and that man was laughing. "You will come again, we you are called, now go." The man disappeared and I walked out tears streaming, and thinking about Harry only made me cry harder. My father opened the door to his quarters letting me in, as I passed him I noticed he had and upset look upon his face. I didn't get completely passed him when he grabbed my shoulder, once I turned to face him I noticed that he had me in a hug. I couldn't help but cry more then, "Sera, I'm sorry I didn't mean for this to happen I didn't want this to happen." Then I felt a single tear on my shoulder I looked up to see him actually slightly crying, before I could do anything he let me go and walked over to him room. I then fell onto the couch, letting tears stream down once I felt his standing by the couch, "dad, you don't need to worry, I'm no longer with Harry."

"Dad, more like mom… and what happened why did you to break up?" I looked up seeing none other that my mom. I wiped the tears from my face looking up at her then I shook my head. Then I stood up, "I'll talk to you later." with that I silently walked back up to the Slytherin tower, after saying the password I walked in seeing none other than my FAVORITE person… Malfoy. And of course he can never keep him mouth shut, and since I was still wiping my tears he to the opportunity to harass me. "Ew, who beat you with the ugly stick?"

"Shut the hell up."

"Oh a little hostile too, hmm did some one start pmsing?"

"I said shut the FUCK up Malfoy before you make me go over there and kick your ass."

He laughed, the one thing I hated was when you are in a horrid mood and people laugh at you. So I decided to keep my word, I went over to him and punched his face. I was just pissed off now, I then pulled him up off the chair and punched him again for good measures. Then I pushed him back into the chair, he was covering his nose, and I felt no remorse for him. "If you ever insult me again I swear to god I will make the rest of you damned life a living hell." I then stormed up the stair into the empty girls dorm, slamming the door with full force behind me, then I just screamed at the top of my lungs. Though that didn't last long my scream quickly turned into sobs. I fell on my bed and searched through my bag for something to calm me down. I found something I swore I would never do again. A bottle of vodka and an unopened pack of cigarettes. I have no idea why, but I opened the bottle and started to drink it straight. I was something I hadn't done in a while, so it was strong, really strong. After the swing I opened the pack taking one out, lighting it and I began to smoke. After getting tired of just sitting on my bed I looked at myself in the mirror, my make-up running down my face, my eyes puffy, red, and a bit glazed, and my hair looked like a monstrosity. I really didn't care I was just mad, at every one who insulted me, every one to hurt me, and all them good for nothing GRYFFINDORS! God, all of them, they are nothing but good for nothing pain in the asses, Harry, Hermione, Kiyoko, Ron, All of them! I then slammed my fist in the dresser, out of anger then walked around the room.

After I decided to take a walk, so I lit up another cigarette, and walked taking a swig from my bottle every once in a while. The I finally stopped, I had made my why over to my fathers quarters, taking one last swing and placing the cigarette back in my mouth I opened the door. Boy was I wasted, and I knew I shouldn't have been there, but I was. I saw my mom and dad sitting on the couch talking, then they both stopped and looked over at me. "SERAFINA what do you think you are doing," I heard my mother actually yell at me.

I attempted to say something, I don't know what though, my words were horribly slurred together, "Serafina, put that out right now and hand over that bottle." My dad seemed to be the one who wanted to actually reason, so I went to take a step, but everything started getting white, I felt really light headed and the last thing I remembered was.

(morning)

I slowly started to open my eyes, and I saw something. Once I could see clearly I saw my father over me, his wand giving off a bright light and him leaned in close. "Sober?" I whined and pushed the wand away, "I am never drinking again, ugh." Then I turned over on my side and covered my face.

"Come on get up, I'll give you something to get rid of your hangover," He then got off then bed and walked out. I sat up looking around, seeing I was in my dad's room, I then rubbed my eyes, and my dad walked back in handing me a cup of some rancid smelling potion. "Its not going to taste good, I can tell you that, but it works." I drank it, he was right, its was as bad as it smelt, but I finished it. "Thanks."

"You know Sera, if you need something, come to me or you mother, don't go drinking your sorrows away, trust me," he then took the cup. For the rest of that dad, it was just me and my father, talking, it actually made me feel a bit better, it just being us, talking, I never knew my dad could be so cool or understanding.

A/N: same rules still apply, I need one review, also R&R.
