+10 years later, Beauxbaton Academy, France – 3:45 p.m.+
The end of the school year saw teens and their families getting ready for their graduation next monday. It also saw a bushy haired teen searching for her best fried, as soon as she spots her green eyed friend yells, "Hey Lys, are you doing anything later?!"

Lys turns around as she was heading towards where her driver was waiting and yells back, "Hey, Hermione, I don't know. My maman (Mom) should be back from her business trip, but I'll call you if I'm free!"

Hermione nods and waves, she then spots her parents and goes to greet them. Lys walks to her driver, who opens the car door as she gets within 5 feet of the car and asks, "Est à la maison maman? (Is Mom home?)"

The driver shakes his head and says, "Non, elle les terres en 2 heuros. (No, she lands in 2 hours)"

Lys nods and gets into the car. The driver then closes the door and gets into the drivers' seat before starting the car and driving to the DeCobray Manor. An hour later they arrive at the house, Lys grabs her stuff as the driver opens her door and then closes the door once she is out and gets back into the car and drives off to the Airport to pick up her mother.

Lys walks in the house and her adoptive father, the Baron, says, "Le conducteur ne partir pour l'aéroport encore? (Did the driver leave for the airport yet?)"

Lys nods and says, "Oui, il vient de quitter. (Yes, he just left)"

The Baron nods and says, "C'est bon, je serai dans mon bureau. (That's good, I'll be in my office)"

Lys watches as her adoptive father walks up the stairs and from the corner of her eyes spots something white vanish from the doorway of the living room. Knowing who that was Lys takes out a throwing star from her uniform sleeve and moved slowly into the living room.

Hearing someone behind her, Lys whips around with the throwing star first as if to slit the throat of the person behind her. But a hand stops the star 3 inches from the Carotid Artery. Seeing who it was Lys's cheek twitches as her sensei says, "You've gotten faster but not fast enough."

Storm Shadow grins at the look on his second students face. His grin gets wider as he hears her Mutter, "Crazy old bastard."

"Don't you have homework to do?" Storm Shadow says, smiling widely at the look on Lys's face. Taking her arm out of his grasp, Lys stalks upstairs, Storm Shadows snickers follow her until she couldn't hear them anymore.

Lys opens her Mahogany red door to the best room ever in her opinion. Her walls were black, green, silver and blue, the ceiling was black with constellations on it such as: Polaris (the North Star), Sirius (the Dog Star), Princess Andromeda, and the Pegasus. The top of the walls were black and towards the middle and lower part of the walls had silver diamond outlines with green in the middle, there were quotes about adversity, war and other quotes that interested Lys were on the upper part of the walls in blue. The carpet was a cream color; a mahogany red desk was on the right side of a large sleigh bed.

The sleigh bed sheets were black silk with a bronze fuzzy blanket, the top comforter was a dark blue with a black tribal raven in the middle and it was opposite colors on the other side. There were 5 pillows, 2 of them were black, 2 were blue and 1 was silver.

There were bookcases just slightly let of the door, the cases covered the entire wall including the corner and 2 feet of the next wall. The cases on the left went until 1 foot until the ceiling along with the corner; the left wall case was only 5 feet high. The cases had books about weapons, war, weapon maintenance, clothing and weapon catalogues, Gun care for Dummies, and battle tactic books from all around the world in different times (such as Sun Tzu's Art of War).

There also were a couple of psychology books, a lot of books about child abuse and fantasy/romance books as well. Just inches away from the left wall bookcase was a doorway that led to a large walk-in closet. There was a semi-large makeup desk and mirror with large lights around the edge of the mirror. Makeup, makeup remover and hair care products covered the desk.

The closets were all graffitied; there are a couple of dresses that Lys hasn't worn in a couple of years. There's a section of closet dedicated entirely to white or almost white clothes. The bathroom was semi-large with a glass shower stall and a marble bathtub directly next to it. The entire bathroom was covered with black tiles and red tiles that led to the towel rack, the shower, the bathtub and a small closet where red, black and white towels are stored.

Lys looks at her bed again and notices a thick manila folder; opening the folder Lys notices her Muggle school homework. Putting her book bag on her bed, Lys goes into her closet to pick her workout clothes which consisted of a blue tank top, light blue sports bra, blue yoga pants and black sneakers.

Lys then walks back to her bed and takes her homework to her desk and sits down and begins to do her Muggle and some magical homework. It takes almost 2 hours to complete and then heads down to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water before heading to the training room her adopted mother had built 2 years after she adopted Lys. Storm Shadow was already there stretching. He turns to the doorway and pops out of his split stretch and says, "Start stretching."

Lys puts her bottle and towel she nicked from the kitchen on one of the benches and begins stretching. After a minute of stretching, Storm Shadow calls her over.

"We will begin." Storm Shadows grin made Lys get a shiver down her spine despite having butterflies in her stomach.

The next 2 hours, once again, made every bone and muscle and a couple of muscles Lys never knew existed to hurt. Once it looked like his student was going to pass out he let her go. Flinching her way to her room, Lys runs into her mother, the Baroness, who takes one look at her daughter and says, "Was training fun, sweetheart?"

Lys looks at her mother like she's lost her mind as he mother then says, "That fun, huh?"

Lys's eyebrow twitches as she says sarcastically, "Oh yeah, it was a blast."

Her mother laughs and asks, "Are you going to hang out with Hermione?"

Lys thinks about it for a moment and then says, "Not tonight, maybe tomorrow."

Baroness nods and says, "I'll let you take a long soak in the bath."

Lys nods, thanking her mother and walks to her room. Baroness looked after her adoptive daughter and thinks to herself; I hope they don't go to the Eiffel Tower tomorrow.

Lys enters her room and heads to her bathroom, taking off her clothes as she goes and then starts the bath. She then adds coconut scented bubble beads and takes off her underwear and sports bra before stepping into the bath. Lys sighs in relief. Training with Storm Shadow is always a bitch.

Suddenly remembering something, Lys calls for her house-elf, Winky. Winky appears with a small 'pop.'

"Yes, Ms. DeCobray, how's' may Winky serve you?"

"Can you get me my cell phone, please?"

Winky nods and with a snap of her fingers, Lys's cell phone appears. Winky hands Lys her phone and leave the room with another small 'pop.'

Lys dials a familiar number, the phone rings three times before her friend answers.

"Hello, Granger Residence, how may I help you?"

"Jesus, Hermione that was way too respectful."

"Ah, Amaryllis, how are you?" Hermione asks curiously.

"Sore but otherwise I'm fine." Lys says while rubbing her left shoulder.

"Okay, so why did you call?" Hermione asks in confusion.

"I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tomorrow."

The excitement in Hermione's voice could've lit a light bulb, "Really? Want to go to the Eiffel Tower? Or the Louvre, maybe the magical Louvre."

Lys chuckles at the speed Hermione was talking, and then says, "Easy there, speedy, we can do all three if we plan everything out correctly."

The next day saw Amaryllis DeCobray and Hermione Granger leaving the Muggle Louvre.

"That was amazing," Hermione gushes making Lys roll her eyes at her friend.

The two catch a bus and head towards the Eiffel Tower. After an hour ride, the bus stops 8 blocks away from the Tower. Hermione and Lys stop in their tracks as they hear the screeching of tires. The two turn around to see a black hummer with a metal plow on the grill, there was a man in a black body suit on the top.

The man in black dodges a car as it was flung upward by swinging around the side of the airborne car. The man has to dodge another car and disappears. He then reappears from under the hummer when he let go and moments later the hummer gets hit by a train, in the chaos the man disappears and two familiar people crawl from the wreck.

Storm Shadow didn't seem to notice them as Baroness joins him with a metal suitcase in her hands, she also didn't seem to notice them either. The two exchange something and then started running towards a shopping mall.

Lys decides that seeing those two together, which meant that they are up to no good, that she and Hermione should go see the Magical Louvre which was located in L'allée magique.

As Hermione speculated on what had just happened, Lys keeps silent, she wasn't sure if Mione could be trusted with what her family does and on occasion, her. Lys has a feeling she'll see that redhead woman again sometime. As she and Hermione eat a small snack in the Louvre's cafeteria, Lys is spotted by a woman in her early twenties with pink hair as she sat with a sandy-haired scarred man.

Amaryllis Lillian DeCobray doesn't realize that her life is about to change again, and it will mostly involve an old man with an obsession with her wealth and the light.
