Thank you for your patience in the wait for this chapter. I resently have had a case of writer's block as real life and MtG's Hour of Devastation messed with my will to write the next chapter. Since this block feels to want to keep going, I figure I'll post this early to my schedule and see what this does. I hope you enjoy.

Ch.3 Butterflies.

"Interesting, very interesting" Nitori says as she watches a screen on the back of the device in which Sakuya was using. It had been 3 and a half hours since they started this experiment and Nitori was giggly looking over the data from the device.

"Does it say what she is doing?" Remilia asks as she sips some tea and puts her book about a group called the Gatewatch take down a Eldridge monster of epic prepositions with a help of a newly oath'd member whom could control zombies, down and looks over at the Kappa girl in curiosity.

"Well, yes but it can't be read right now. It's all coded right now and it won't make since till the whole story is complete. " Nitori replies to her host. "Though it is very interesting. This is the first time the device is being used on a human." She adds as she looks back at the screen of numbers and symbols.

"That's to bad. I'm curious on what kind of life she is living right now." Remilia sigh's as she looks at the peace smile her maid was making. She picks up a bell and calls for her temporary maid. "Koakuma, more tea please and return this book. I would like the next one please. I think it is called Keladesh."

"Yes ma'am, right away" the red haired demon named Koakuma says as she takes the book from Remilia and hurries off to do so. A few mins later she returns with tea and book in hand. As she hurries to give the lady of the house her book and drink, she accidentally bumps the device, jarring it a bit.

"H-hey! Watch it! You could damage it if you pour anything on it!" Nitori rages at Koakuma before looking the device over for anything that might be wrong.

"I'm sorry! So sorry." Koakuma replies nervously as she steadies herself and the things she is carrying. She quickly heads to the table where Remilia looks at her disappointing.

"Be careful around machines Koakuma. I have heard they can be quiet fragile. " Remilia reprehends Koakuma as she takes the tea and book from her.

"Phew. Looks like everything is still connected." Nitori I let's out in a breath of relief and turns to face them. "Yea, it is sorta delicate. But it's tough enough to stand a small bump. Sorry for yelling at you."

"Not a problem. Don't worry about it." Koakuma says quietly as she looks down at her feet.
Meanwhile as they start to talk, a line of irregular text passes by on the screen quickly.

You wake inside a white void. You look around and only see white and silver like water that you stand in. Looking around, you see yourself starring back.

"This is weird." You say to yourself before feeling like someone is behind you. You quickly turn around and find Sakuya, fully visible and not see through like you are accustom to. "Sakuya?" you say aloud in surprise.

Sakuya nods and opens her mouth to speak but nothing comes out. That was normal, even in your dreams she never did speak. You couldn't even touch her like something was blocking you from doing so. You feel as if you are being pulled to her. Your desire to touch her and speak with her overwhelms you and you start to step toward her. She mirrors you and walks forward too. Closer and closer you get to her. You expect a glass wall or something to pop up any second. Then the two of you touch fingers and everything warps around you. Colors, names, sounds surround you in blinding spread and volume. Mansion, scarlet, mist, Red-White, Devil, Must Keep Out!, Lake!, Maid!, Knifes!, Younger Misstess! MEILING!, MARISA!, REMILIA!

You shoot up in your bed screaming out loud, a racking pain flares throughout your head. An ungodly snapping sound is heard and you fall backwards onto your pillow and everything goes dark again.

You are reawaken by Petunia and mother feeling clueless.

"Are you OK?" your mother asks as you start to register words.

"What? Hmm yea. I'm fine" you reply sleepily.

"Are you sure sweety? Your sister said you sat up in bed screaming before falling back into bed and passing out." Your mom says as she puts a hand on your for head to check if you are warm.

"I did? I don't remember that." You reply as you awaken a bit more. Your mom makes a face when you don't feel too warm.

"Hmm, you don't feel like you might be sick. Do you want to sleep with us tonight?" mom asks with concern.

You consider it for a moment but shake your head. "I got Tuney to watch out for me." You say with a sleepy smile.

"Ok then, if you change your mind just come on down to our bedroom, OK?" mom says as she tucks you in. Your mom leaves the room and you see your dad in the hallway right before he closes the door.

"This has to be that Snape boy fault." You hear Petunia say a few mins later after she got back into bed. You frown slightly as she turns to face away from you as sleep tries to take you back to dreamland. One thing you notice as you slip into unconscious is the chair you leave ajar for Sakuya is empty.

The next morning you are shaken awake by Petunia.

"Get up, you are going to miss breakfast if you don't get up." She says as she see's your eyes open slowly. She starts to the cabinet to get dressed for breakfast as you sit up groggy in your bed.

"Do you know what mom is making for breakfast?" You ask Petunia as you pull away your blankets and turn to get out of bed.

"Mom said something about crumpets today" Petunia says as she pulls a dress and then combs her hair.

You feel excited for crumpets as you quickly get out of bed to get ready for breakfast. Mom only makes crumpets for special occasions. You wonder what the occasion is as you pull on your own breakfast dress, which makes you remember last night. You try to think on the nightmare but it keeps coming up as a blank. Shaking your head of it as you finish combing your hair and follow after Petunia to breakfast.

A few weeks later you head out to play at the park while mom and Petunia when to get more groceries. You hurry over to the thicket of trees where you first found Snape alone. You when and met with him the day after you had the nightmare you can't seem to remember. He was a bit beaten up on that day and your concern for how he was hurt overcame the upset of insulting Petunia from that day before. As you slide through the small gap between the trees, finding Severus Snape sitting on his coat waiting for you. You sit down beside him and begin to ask him about magic.

"and the ministry can punish you if you do magic outside school, you get letters" Snape says as he turns to face you and crosses his legs. You mimic this action.

"But I have done magic outside school!" you say in worry.

"We're all right. We haven't got wand's yet. They let you off when you're a kid and can't help it. But once you are eleven. " Snapes pauses to nod in importance. " and they start traineyou, then you've got to go careful"

As Snape finishes what he was he was saying you pick up a fallen twig and twirl it between your fingers in silence before taking it to your hand and mimicking what you think a wand would do, imaging sparks or spells coming from it. You then drop the twig and lean in closer toward Snape.

"It is real, isn't it? It's not a joke? Petunia says you're lying to me. Petunia says there isn't a Hogwarts. It is real, isn't it?" you ask him as you lay out your worries and fears that everything you have experience before this was all just imagination and pretend.

"It's real for us." Snape answers and then adds " Not for her. But we'll get the letter, you and me."

"Really?" you ask as you see he believes it to be true.

"Definitely" he says and strike an oddly impressive figure that looks brimful of confidence.

And will it really come by owl?" you ask the boy hopefully.

"Normally, but you're muggle-born, so someone from the school will have to come and explain to your parents." Snape explains to you.

"Does it make a difference, being muggle-born?" you ask in a bit of a worry.

"No. It doesn't make any difference." He answers after a moment.

"Good." You reply and lay onto the ground to watch the canopy as a relaxing feeling releases from the worry. Snape keeps talking a bit but it fades away into a silence.

"How are things at your house" you ask Snape after a bit.

"Fine," he replies.

"They're not arguing any more?"

"Oh, yes, they're arguing, but it won't be that long and I'll be gone."

"Doesn't your dad like magic?"

"He doesn't like anything, much."

"Severus?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me about the Dementors again."

"What d'you want to know about them for?"

"If I use magic outside school-" you go to say but Snape waves his hand and stops you.

"They wouldn't give you to the Dementors for that! Dementors are for people who do really bad stuff. They guard the wizard prison Azkaban. You're not going to end up in Azkaban, you're to-" he let's his voice fade as you stare at him, his face becoming a bit red as she shreads some leaves. You go to say something but a noise startles you and Snape and you look over at a tree to find Petunia hiding behind it.

"Tuney!" you say with surprise and welcoming in your voice.

Snape jumps to his feet and points at Petunia. "Who's spying now? What d'you want?" he shouts at her, making you frown a little. Petunia looks shocked and breathless but regains herself and points at Snapes chest.

"What is that you're wearing anyways? Your mum's blouse?" she insults him. You wish they wouldn't fight just as a loud snap is heard and a branch falls from above Petunia and hits her on the shoulder.

"Tuney!" you yell in concern but by this time she is running away. You turn toward Snape and see his angered look. "Did you make that happen?"

"No" he declares but he looks sort of scared. You don't believe him.

"You did." You say while backing away from him. "You did! You hurt her!"

"No – no I didn't" he tries to convince you but you don't believe him more. You glare at him and then run off to find Petunia. This might have been an accident but you feel way to angry to entertain that thought. You feel like throwing knifes at him. Pausing half way on the way home in wonder where that idea came from.

A few weeks later, your letter arrived and shocked your parents and upset Petunia a bit. You know that she wanted Severus to be lying about it all. You forgave him a few days after the accident as he quickly explained it was called accidental magic and he took responsibility for said accident to you.

But that was yesterday when you got your letter and you quicken your spent to keep up with a tall, stern looking woman named Professor Mirnerva McGonagall as the two of you pass through a pub called The Leaky Cauldron. As you do, two main thoughts pass through your head. Your lament that Petunia made such a fuss about wanting to go to Hogwarts as well that your parents had to keep her home. You promised them you will take them next time. The other thought is that you feel like cleaning this place, which is just weird as this is the first time you been here. Right?

"Hello there Mirnerva. We got some fresh Sherperds pie ready." The barkeeper says to your soon to be professor.

"Thank you Tom, but not right now. I'm here on Hogwarts business." She replies while motions toward you. You give the Tom the barkeep a nervous smile.

"Ah. I see. You'll be wanting the way to Diagon Alley then?" Tom asks as he grabs a glass to wipe down.

"Yes please." Mirnerva replies crisply.

"Right through the back." Tom says more to you than to Professor McGonagall.

"Thank you Tom." McGonagall says as she waves a hand at you to follow her. You keep close to her as the two of you go into the back courtyard with walls around it and dustbin there. You look up confusingly at her as she gives you a small smile.

"The way to Diagonal Alley is hidden here. To open the way you must tap this brick here with your wand." She says as she points to a brick three bricks up and two cross.

You make a mental note as she taps it and the bricks start to pull back and shift into an archway, opening to a long twisting Alley with shops on each side of the walkway. Rustic sighs matching the shops they hang over, next to brightly painted places right next door. Every place looks and feels like magic as you and Professor McGonagall walk down the path towards the biggest building at the end of the Alley, Gringotts, the wizarding bank to exchange the pounds into wizard money. You look at the goblins as they go along typing up reports or reseats, letting other wizards know if there vault's value and even leading people away to other rooms as you stare in wonder at them. Coming up to a teller, you ask questions about them to Professer McGonagall as they exchange your money into Galleons, Sickles, and Kruns. After a quick explanation of how there are seventeen Sickles to one Galleon and twenty nine Kruns to one Sickle, you and Professor McGonagall head out to the shops. You first stop at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions for your school robes. The experience being just like when your mom took you and Petunia to get fancy dresses for a Christmas ball a few years ago, all pokey and having to stand still. You manage it and meet up with the professor outside. Next stop being the Apothecary to pick up potions supplies. The vast amount of items and smells there make you feel weird. On your way Flourish and Blotts, you stop and stare at a beautiful silver throwing knife set that stands in the window of Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment. You feel drawn to them but Professor McGonagall moves you along to get your books, passing a shop where several boys stare into the window of a broom shop and chatter loudly about which one was best.

"Would you like to get a pet?" Professor McGonagall asks you after picking up books and a chest to hold your belonging in at a store near by.

"I would have to ask my parents first" you reply as you think about it. An owl might be useful but a cat would be fun. Nothing wrong with a cat. You smile at this thought as you head into your last destination for the day, Ollivanders. As you walk in you see a weird older man at the counter and you can't help but stare at him. He stares at you for a moment and his eyes seem to flash.

"Ms Izayoi?" he asks of you with a questioning tone.

"N-no. My name is Lily Evans." You reply confusingly at the older man, his eyes giving you the creeps.

"Ah! I'm sorry. You just reminded me of someone else." He chuckles out with a semi knowing smile. "wand arm?" he asks of you.

"Uhh?" you draw as he has his magical tape measure start moving around you. "Right?" After answering he hands you a wand.

"Give it a wave." He tells you to do. As soon as you do so, he takes it away and gives you another to try. This goes on for a half an hour with him murmuring and uttering stuff like interesting and no, not this one. Finally you are handed a willow wand that produces a sliver wisp of sparks. He smiles at this.

"10 and a quarter inch's, willow with a Vampires hair for the core. One of my experimental ones. The hair was collected a long time ago. It will be great at charms. Very swishy." He grins out more. "that will be 8 Galleons please."

You pay the man and quickly exit the shop and Professor McGonagall takes you home. As you pull your trunk in to the house to show Petunia all you got, you wonder about your wand and how natural it feels to you.

And there you go. I worked hard on this one in editing it before starting the next one before the aforementioned writer's block took hold. I feel if life doesn't get in the way, I'll get to it soon. Thank you and please give a review, I'm glad for anything you may say about the story.

P.s. My block is also coming to a part of many, many plot bunnies pop up. Most MtG related.
