Chapter 2

Violet Pov

I roll my eyes as I see the infirmary door open and shut but no visible person walking through, someone please tell me I was never that bad with the invisibility cloak. With just the smallest of a smirk on my face I pull out the marauders map to check and see just who snuck in under the cloak. Serpens Black and Draconis Malfoy, why am I not surprised?

Smirking I put the map back in my bag and flick my wrist causing the privacy curtains around me to open, they're still under the cloak obviously. Riddle quirks a brow as he notices my sudden reappearance from behind the curtains but he soon goes back to his book.

"You seem to have some guests Riddle, I shouldn't be surprised about Serpens Black, though I must admit; I am surprised by you Draconis Malfoy. With those words the indivisibility cloak falls to the floor to reveal the shocked face of Serpens Black and the blank face of Draco Malfoy.

"Well so much for sneaking in to see Tom without being caught, how the hell did you know we were under there?"

"For starters I saw the door open and shut."

"Great, now that we've established that, could we get out of here before Madam Pomfrey finds us?"

"No, I came to check on Tom, and since gift from Aphrodite is up, I should like to know if she has any interest in trying out for the quidditch team."

"Not interested Black."

"Oh come on, I bet you play a brilliant seeker, you see I've decided Aphrodite just miscalculated when she sent you, and you're really meant for Draco here, which means you play seeker right?"

"Are you serious?"

"No that's my dad, but I do believe you're a gift from Aphrodite, so you do play seeker right?"

"Actually Black, she was sent by Thanatos." My eyes snap to Riddle, how the hell did he know? Dumbledore put up a silencing charm!?

"You mean my rebel theory is right, and if she works for Thanatos, then she has to be brilliant on a broom. And that means she wasn't sent for either of you, so I can feel no guilt in trying to steal her for myself. This day just keeps getting better and better!"

"I'm not a rebel, how many times do I have to say it?"

"You work for Thanatos!"

"No, we're acquaintances, he sent me here for his own amusement I'm sure, I keep him entertained and he keeps me sane you could say."

"Great we established that Serpens was right about her being a rebel, we established Tom is in fact fine, like before and she's rejected your offer of Quidditch, could we please go now?"

"No Silverfur, not until she agrees to try out and play for our Quidditch team it is the right thing to do. Quidditch is important to all Slytherins, and she is a Slytherin."

"That's it I'm out of here, it was nice meeting you Serpens, tell Madam Pomfrey thanks for treating me, and tell Dumbledore thanks for letting me stay, but I really just have got to go."

"What you can't go, the desperate need for more players on our Quidditch team aside, no matter what your relationship to Thanatos. That means that you can help us fight Grindelwald, don't you want to help us free the muggles?"

"Thanks but no thanks, I've faced enough egomaniac dark lords to last me a life time, my battle is done and over with. And whoever your so called chosen one is, I'm sure he'll be just fine without me, so bye."

"Hold on a minute, do you seriously not know who the boy-who-lived is, how could you not? Where do you live under a rock?"

"No actually most recently I've found myself living on this really secluded island off the coast, in this heavily guarded building. And you may just get all the happiness sucked out of you or even your soul. Oh and my room had a cot, a toilet, a sink and a door made from metal bars."

Riddle doesn't so much as look even slightly fazed by my words, Malfoy just briefly lost his composure before regaining it while Serpens Black is still gaping at me.

"You just described Azkaban you do realize that?"

"Really, good I was worried I had described the wrong wizarding prison there for a minute. But you'll have to excuse me if I don't actually bother to keep up with society; it's hard to get a copy of the prophet behind Azkaban walls."

"Morgana, you don't work for Thanatos, you're her. I thought you were just a legend, I mean they said Thanatos didn't work alone, but-"

"Hold on a minute, who exactly do you think that I am?"

"Oh come on, we've all heard of you, you're the prodigy of Thanatos, you single handedly burned down half of Germany!"

"Serpens, she's our age, it couldn't possibly be her, she would have had to have been five in order to be her, and no five year old could possibly burn down half of Germany; and single handedly, be realistic."

"Yeah well they said there was no way that someone could survive the killing curse, or that anyone could ever possibly defeat Grindelwald…that happened. We never thought Tom would play Quidditch but he's our star chaser."

"Hold on Riddle plays Quidditch…well then I'm definitely not playing Quidditch. I absolutely hate Riddle, so there's no way I'm playing Quidditch."

"How could you say you hate Riddle when you barely even know each other, you haven't spoken to each other enough to have legitimate reason to hate him just so you know."

I look at Draco Malfoy with the hardest and coldest look that I can muster; he takes a half step backwards, back home I'd smirk at that, but not here. Not in front of Riddle, not when I am so thoroughly ticked off, I can't believe of all the things!

"There are only four people I truly hate with every fiber of my being Malfoy. Tom Riddle, Bellatrix LeStrange, Dolores Umbridge and Rita Skeeter, do you want to know why I hate them? Let's start with dear Bella then shall we…she murdered the closest thing to a father that I ever had…the man that was going to take me away from my suffering right in front of me. Dolores Umbridge, besides making my life miserable she had me scar my own hand. Rita Skeeter, she defamed me in every single way she could think of."

They don't say a thing, not one of them, then Malfoy smirks in a way that is just so Malfoy that it irritates me. "Well that covers three of the four, but that doesn't explain why you could possibly hate Tom, he's never done any of those things to you."

"No…Tom Riddle is the worst of them all, because he took everything away from me, and the similarities between us. The only freaking difference besides gender Malfoy, is that I wasn't born under the effects of amortentia, which in case you didn't know, means unlike him I have the ability to love. I do not fear him, but I do hate him."

With that I grab my bag and storm out of the infirmary, I don't care what madam Pomfrey says, I cannot stay in there with that murderer for another minute. Not without killing him or attempting to kill him at least.

Riddle pov

I watch silently as the girl, Evanston storms out of the infirmary, I turn to Malfoy and Black with a quirked brow. Malfoy seems to be just as confused as I myself am, Black however and unsurprisingly looks like he just won a million galleons for simply standing there.

"Am I the only one that thinks she's even hotter when she's angry? I wonder if I can get her to be angry at me the way that she's angry at you for just existing Tom. Because if I can get her into bed then I think I could have some fun."

"Why do I associate myself with such a perverted fool?"

"Because I'm a fun-loving-crazy, and my dad happens to be the person that smuggles you all kinds of contraband into Hogwarts who also happened to teach you how to transform into your animagus Inkcoat."

"You're an imbecile."

"Maybe, I'm going to be the imbecile that gets into the pants of the Phoenix, of Thanatos's prodigy, and then I'm going to marry her one of these days because have you two seen her?"

"You do know there's a lot more to a girl than looks right?"

"Yes Malfoy believe it or not I do, and she's the Phoenix, so we know she's got a lot more than just the looks, and she was sorted into Slytherin to top it off. I'm officially in love."

"You have zero evidence that she's the Phoenix."

"Zero evidence, mysterious arrival, ties to Thanatos himself, straight out of Azkaban, come on you know the legends Malfoy. I mean she's supposed to be his second in command; she was supposedly raised by Thanatos. Just think about the legends for just a second…eyes the precise color of the killing curse, hair dark as raven, a temper that rages like fire."

"She's not the Phoenix."

"Oh she is, and I will prove it to you, do you know how? I'm going to do it by going about this in a rather typical marauder manner. I shall not fail, and if I must, I shall enlist the help of Marauders past Misters Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs will be more than willing to help me unearth the truth."

"Good luck with that."

"Just you wait, she's the Phoenix, and after I've proven it to you, I shall sleep with her, and then marry her, and then we shall have lots and lots of children."

"Or you're wrong and she kills you, or you by some miracle are correct about her being the Phoenix and she kills you with a slow and painful death."

"Such pessimist, maybe I should have let the hat place me in Gryffindor, though had I done that then I wouldn't have nearly given dad a heart attack. Ah- the lengths one is willing to go to torment their father with meaningful pranks."

"And yet he let your mother name you Serpens?"

"You two have met the woman right, I do not think even lord Grindelwald would wish to piss her off thoroughly, and especially when she's pregnant. She wanted me to be named Seprens and so that is my name, which is why my lovely little sister has the name that mother picked out as well. End of discussion on that…dad had two choices, give in or die."

"Well then clearly you lack what little sense Sirius possesses if you think that it would be a good idea to tick off Evanston. I am almost confident that she'd be able to kill you."

Serpens rolls his eyes and opens his mouth to retort at Draco when he stops, as the entire room shakes. Madam Pomfrey comes rushing out of her office, she takes one look around the room before her eyes widen at the sight of the empty bed across from mine, then narrow at Serpens and Draco.

"You two are not supposed to be in here; where is miss Evanston?!"

"She kind of stormed out angrily, not long after Draco pointed out that she had no grounds to hate Tom. Of course she went on angry rant before leaving."

"Poppy, where is the girl, she was supposed to remain in here until her magic was settled!?" I refocus my attention on Dumbledore at that, I don't recall anyone even once mentioning that the girl's magic was unstable.

"Apparently these two caused her to storm off." Dumbledore looks at Draco and Serpens with a disappointed frown, Serpens just grins innocently and Draco sighs.

"You best hope boys that nothing happens because of your careless inability to follow instructions-" It's at that moment that the entire school begins to shake, potions phials fall off of shelves and shatter, a couple of portraits fall off the walls and books fall to the ground. That is not good.

"Albus; do you think?"

"Yes, I believe that Ms. Evanston's magic is definitely acting out, let us only hope she has not caused any permanent damage to herself or the school" A loud thunderous clap sounds and the school shakes again, Dumbledore sighs. "We best go find her before she expels all of her magical energy, please go alert the other professors; I think I shall get started on my search."

I watch as they both leave the infirmary at a quick pace, great something is going on and I don't know exactly what it is, this simply will not do. I must do whatever it takes to find out just what Violet Evanston really is. I wouldn't be surprised if she were the Phoenix, she's just weird enough to be and she's so unusual and if her magic did that well I have no doubt in my mind that there is nothing wrong into looking into this a little bit more.

"I would like for the both of you to find out everything that you can about Evanston, something about her does not set right with me. She's powerful, I do not want her getting out of hand, and it would be easy for her to do it."

"You think she might work for Grindelwald then?"

"I don't know, all I know is that she acts far too ignorant for anything she says to be true, if she's not here for Grindelwald then she is here for Thanatos and I want to know why."

"Alright, I think we can figure this out, this will me most interesting and interesting is always good now isn't it. So Tom any advice on how we'll pull this off?"

"You're a Slytherin Serpens, whether you like it or not, I think you'll can figure this out." Serpens shrugs nodding his head in understanding, Draco rolls his eyes clearly unamused by Serpens and his inability to always be a proper Slytherin.

Violet pov

"Evanston, what do you think you are doing?!" I pause my angry tantrum at the familiar shout behind me, I turn around to see professor Snape standing there glowering that ever familiar Snape glower. I can't help it, I feel myself break into a wide grin, that is until I take in my surroundings, I've completely destroyed part of the school grounds, that's not good.

"I'm sorry Professor Snape, I didn't realize, I'll clean this up and head to my room, and I'll serve whatever detention you want me to. I'm sorry I didn't realize I had…I'm sorry."

"Ms. Evanston, you need to return to the infirmary."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I lost my temper and I- oh my merlin, I'm turning into him aren't I? I'm turning into Voldemort, I'm sorry, it's my fault, they're all dead and it's my fault. I didn't stop him in time, they're dead because of me, I'm sorry professor, it's my fault, all of it…I'm sorry."

"Evanston!...Calm yourself…come with me to the infirmary now." As Snape steps closer to me I wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his chest crying, I don't care if it's improper or that I'm in a universe where Snape doesn't know me. I just need a hug and he's the only one that I know and trust completely. "Ms. Evanston, please get off."

"Severus, oh thank goodness you found her; Ms. Evanston are you alright?"

"They're all dead, and it's my fault, I couldn't protect them, and I killed him, I killed him professor, I failed to protect them and I killed him. I killed him professor, they should have killed me, they should have given me the Dementor's kiss, I should be dead!"

McGonagall looks at Severus with a horrified look on her face, I should be dead…I killed Voldemort…I killed him…I failed to save the others. I deserved death, they wouldn't grant it…no matter how much they wanted me in Azkaban…I'm still their stupid Girl-Who-Lived.

"Severus, what's wrong with her?"

"I killed him…he's dead and I killed him and the others they're dead too and it's all my fault, I please kill me professor, please…you have to kill me!"

"Ms. Evanston I shall not kill you."

"If you won't kill me, then I'll do it myself, don't think I won't I know the spell, it was one of his favorite spells. It's just a two words a green light and it'll all be over. Yes, I think I should like that…for it to all be over. DO YOU HEAR THAT VOLDEMORT, YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GET YOUR WISH; YOUR WISH FOR MY DEATH IS FINALLY COMING TRUE; AND YOU WON'T EVEN BE ALIVE TO CELEBRATE!"

"Ms. Evanston; this is getting out of hand!"

"You're right professor it is out of hand. My entire life is out of hand, everyone that I know and love dies, so why can't he just end my life now? Why can't professor end my pain and the suffering, not just mine but that of those around me."

"Ms. Evanston my dear, please calm down, would you care for a lemon drop, we can discuss this in my office."

"There is nothing to discuss, and if he won't end my life, then I will," I angrily turn my wand towards me, "Avada-" before I can utter a syllable of the other half of the incantation Snape cast the body bind spell on me…that snake; he's robbing me of my death!

"I don't know what you mean, I happen to be right here."

Someone grabs my wand out of my hand before Professor Dumbledore cast Finite Incantum undoing the body bind spell, I just lay there. "Well that's not much fun at all, we should fix that, but of course they will never let you just simply die."

"Shut-up!"

"Well that's not nice, and you should be thanking him, didn't anyone ever tell you how an unbreakable vow works. He swore to protect you and keep you alive in your time and dimension, that vow carries here. It's rather complex, see if he were to kill a new born you, it would have no effect on him, but were he to harm you after you reached the age in which the protection was sworn to you, it doesn't matter what year, what dimension, the vow would still carry."

"No…no…no! I'm sorry professor, I didn't realize, I'm sorry, so sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't realize. I'm glad you stopped me from killing myself, from killing you."

"The girl is completely mad."

"Ms. Evanston look at me," I look towards professor Snape, his dark eyes actually showing a hint of concern, it's comforting and unnerving at the same time. Professor Snape isn't one to show emotion, at least not the Snape I know. "I do not know what is bothering you, but killing yourself is never the answer, do you understand me?"

"Yes professor, I'm sorry, so sorry, I didn't…I wasn't thinking…I…I just want to go home. Why won't Thanatos send me back, he has to send me back professor please...I have to go back, please I just want to go home."

"Professor Dumbledore is there any way in which we could send the girl home?"

"Come now Severus, she's clearly not in a right state of mind, not to mention we have no way of knowing where her home is. Thanatos does not exactly share the information of where he is from with anyone; Ms. Evanston could you perhaps tell us where your home is?"

My home is Hogwarts, but not this one, my Hogwarts is in another dimension where time ran differently. I need to be at a Hogwarts where I'm not just a nameless face, I'm fine not being the Girl-Who-Lived, but I miss having my friends, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, I'd even take a Draco Malfoy that knew me. Here all I have is familiar faces that don't know me in the slightest.

"You can't send me home professor, the only one who can do that is Thanatos and he had made himself quite clear on the matter. I can't go back, not as long as Grindelwald is breathing at least."

"He has asked you to kill Grindelwald?!"

"No, I would have refused to come in the first place if that was what he wanted. I don't care how many of my friends or rivals he threatened to kill; absolutely nothing would allow me to kill again. I guess that's the point though isn't it? I wouldn't have even come in the first place if lives weren't on the line. Damn Thanatos played right into my hero complex, that, I cannot believe I had been foolish enough to make a deal with him. I knew better, I-" Everything around me begins to spin, everything goes dark.
