Chapter Two

Remus and Sirius were rooted in shock to the ground. "W…what?" stuttered Sirius unbelievingly.

"Honestly Padfoot, there is nothing wrong with your hearing, but for your amusement I'll repeat it. I said my name is Saber Malfoy," she replied grinning, but slowly she began to look fearful as Sirius and Remus exchanged glances.

"Are you related to Lucius Malfoy?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yes, Lucius is my brother," she replied cautiously. She knew or at least could guess how Remus and Sirius would react, but this boy, however, was completely unknown. As the boy smiled, she realized she didn't know his name. "Um, I'm sorry, but what's your name?" she asked. He looked like James but his eyes were definitely Lily's eyes. Maybe they did get together after all. She smiled at the thought, but it quickly faded when she remembered she was in the future and even if she did see them again, it wouldn't be the same. "My name's Harry Potter," he replied watching for her reaction. She looked down letting her waist length hair cover her face. "Are you all right?" he asked.

She looked up, "Where are they?" her voice was weak sounding. At first Harry was confused, then realization dawned on him, "I'm sorry, but their dead, Voldemort killed them fourteen years ago just after my first birthday." Tears poured down her face as she heard this. Harry noticed her eyes had changed from their original, beautiful sky blue to a dull black.

As he pondered this he saw her hair start to turn black from the tips up. Remus began to walk over but stopped in shock when he saw her hair. Sirius let out a barely audible gasp, as her previous platinum hair was now completely black. "Um, Saber, are you a metamorphagus?" asked Remus in a shocked voice.

"Yes, why?" she asked sobbing.

"Your hair is black," Sirius said simply, moving closer, but keeping his wand pointed at the Dursleys.

"What? But I didn't try to change it. Oh, here," she said as she scrunched up her face in concentration. Soon her hair was back to normal but when she opened her eyes Harry could see that they were not a sky blue but a cloudy midnight blue. He felt the same strange pull to hold her again as before, but refrained from it.

"I never knew. I mean back at school you never changed your appearance," Remus said astounded.

"I didn't want anyone to know. I don't even know how I am one seeing as Lucius, nor anyone else in my family for that matter, is." She replied quietly, "I guess just that face that Lily's gone really hit me."

"That's understandable. You two were best friends in school, until you disappeared that night. What happened? How did you end up here?" asked Sirius.

"I don't really know. I woke up to a bunch of yelling. All around me were these guys in black robes. They attacked me with all kinds of spells but then I suddenly wasn't there anymore. I was on a cold sidewalk in front of a house. I saw the door open before everything went black," she answered.

"So you just woke up in this time?"

"Yes. The only thing that feels different is this necklace that I know I've never seen before," Saber said as she gently ran her fingers over the golden locket she was wearing.

"Can I see that please?" She nodded slowly as she handed Sirius the locket. Sirius examined it closely. He knew he had seen it before, but where? He tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. There were two initials on the back: L.P. and the chain was in a unique design. Suddenly Sirius remembered.

"Moony, do you remember the gift James got Lily the day Harry was born?"

"Yea, a gold locket with a Celtic chain and her initials, why?" replied Remus confused.

"I thought so," Sirius mumbled quietly as he looked at the locket again. This couldn't be the same locket, could it? Sirius cast a revealing spell on the locket. "Well that explains it!" Sirius exclaimed.
