~ With Me, Into The Dark ~
Although Lilith was still deficient in several skill areas, her training period had been deemed complete and she had been branded with the Dark Mark. (Although hers was placed further up the arm than most Death Eaters' Marks were, due to the ivy-vine scars carved around her wrist.) As Bellatrix was tasked with training the latest recruits, the duty of being Lilith's keeper no longer fell to her, and now Lilith was undertaking her first mission without her erstwhile mentor.
Her companions for this endeavor were Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy, and while they were reasonably certain that no combat would be involved as it was primarily an information-gathering expedition, each man was glad to have the other along so that he alone would not bear the responsibility of dealing with any of the mistakes that the scatterbrained witch was likely to make.
After Snape successfully extracted the sought-after information from their target using Legilimency ("Cheater," Lilith muttered sourly, earning herself a sharp jab in the ribs and a hissed "Quiet in the peanut gallery" from Malfoy), the three of them decided to follow the lead rather than reporting back with the information - or, more accurately, Lucius managed to convince the other two that checking the veracity of what they'd learned would be better than reporting the information back to the Dark Lord only to have it turn out false.
And so the three of them journeyed to the ruins of an old house at the edge of a swamp, where the magical artifact their master sought was supposedly hidden. After a thorough search of the property, they found an old chest which looked exactly the type to contain treasure... but, as luck would have it, all that was hidden inside the ancient container was a family of boggarts.
Severus's worst fears were mostly intangible things, so he was not entirely surprised when one of the boggarts chose to become the boogeyman of his childhood - his father. He quickly dispatched the creature and turned to see if his companions required assistance.
Lucius's boggart had, embarrassingly enough, turned into a cackling Bellatrix. He seemed to be handling it well enough on his own, so Snape turned his attention to Lilith. The witch was backing away slowly from the remaining boggarts - three of them, which had ganged up on her, apparently having singled her out as the easiest target - with a horrified expression on her face.
As Severus stepped between Lilith and creatures, he wondered what in the hell had happened in her past to make her terrified of phoenixes.
