( July '97 )

"I never thought I'd say this but I'm going to miss double potions with Slytherin." Cassandra said.

Harry and Cassandra stood in the backyard of the Dursleys house. The Order was mere minutes away from arriving.

"I'd have to agree with you." Harry said. "Although I don't particularly like the Slytherins."

"We should go inside." Cassandra said.

The two headed inside when there was a knock on the door. Cassandra opened the door to reveal Bill, Fleur, Remus, Sirius, Brooklyn, Tonks, Jack, Hermione, Arthur, Ron, Fred, George, Hagrid, Kingsley, and some random guy that Cassandra didn't know.

Moody made his way to the front and walked into the living room.

"Potters, you're still underage." Moody said. "Which means you've still got the trace on you."

"What's the trace?" Harry asked.

"If you sneeze, the Ministry will know who wipes your nose." Moody explained. "The point is, we have to use those means of transport the trace can't detect. Brooms, thestrals, and the like. We go in pairs. That way, if anyone's out there waiting for us, and I reckon there will be, they won't know which Harry and Cassandra Potter is the real one."

"The real one?" Harry asked.

"I believe you're familiar with this particular brew." Moody popped open his flask.

"No." Harry said. "Absolutely not."

"I told you that he wouldn't take it well." Hermione said.

"No, if you think I'm going to let everyone risk their lives for us..." Harry trailed off.

"Haven't done that before have we?" Ron sarcastically responded.

"No!" Harry said. "No, this is different. Taking that, becoming us, no!"

"No, if you think I'm going to let everyone risk their lives for us..." Harry trails off.

"C'mon Harry, stop being stubborn for once in your life." Cassandra said. "We have people who are willing to help us, so let them help."

"Well, none of us really fancy it mate." Fred said.

"Yeah, imagine if something went wrong." George said. "We end up as a scrawny specky git forever."

"Everyone here is of age, Potter." Moody said. "They've all agreed to take the risk."

"Technically, I've been coerced." The unknown man spoke up. "Mundungus Fletcher, Mr. and Ms. Potter. Always been a huge admirer."

"Nip it, Mundungus!" Moody said. "Alright Granger, as we discussed."

Hermione walked up to Harry and Cassandra, grabbing a piece of each of their hairs.

"Blimey Hermione!" Harry exclaimed.

"For those of you that haven't taken the Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning, it tastes like goblin piss." Moody said.

He passed the flasks out to Fleur, Fred, George, Hermione, Mundungus, and Ron.

"Have enough experiences with that, do you Mad-Eye?" Fred asked. "Just trying to diffuse the tension."

Cassandra watched as the people around her transformed into Harry and herself.

"Wow! We're identical!" Fred and George said.

They were both Harry.

"Yes, like you weren't identical before." Cassandra muttered.

"Not yet you're not." Moody said, dumping loads of clothes on the floor.

"Haven't got anything a bit more sporting, have you?" George asked.

"Yeah, I don't really fancy this color." Fred said.

"Well fancy this: you're not you." Moody said. "So shut up and strip!"

"Alright, alright!" Mundungus muttered.

He had transformed into Cassandra.

"You need to change as well, Potters." Moody said.

"I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo." Ron muttered as Harry passed by him.

"Harry, your eyesight really is awful." Hermione muttered, putting on glasses.

"All right then, we'll be pairing off." Moody said. "Each Potter will have a protector. Mundungus, stick with me, I want to keep an eye on you. Harry and Cassandra."

"Yes?" A collected ring of voices came out, none of them the real Harry and Cassandra.

"The real Harry and Cassandra. Where the devil are you two anyway?"

"Here!" Cassandra raised her hand, as did Harry.

"You'll be riding with Hagrid." Moody said.

"I took you both here, sixteen years ago, when you were no bigger than a Bowtruckle." Hagrid said. "Seems only right that I would be the one to take you both away now."

"Yes, it's all very touching." Moody said. "Let's go."

The twins climbed aboard Hagrid's motorbike.

"Head for the Burrow." Moody said. "We'll rendezvous there. On the count of three."

"Hold tight you two." Hagrid warned.

"One, two, three." Moody said.

They were off just like that. Moody passed them up as they were in the air. Hagrid flew down a bit and into some clouds. That's when Cassandra saw the death eaters, chasing everyone else around. Spells were being launched everywhere.

"Hagrid, we have to help the others." Harry said.

"I can't do that, Harry." Hagrid said. "Mad-Eye's orders. Hang on."

A spell hit Hagrid, causing him to knock out.

"Shit!" Cassandra cursed.

The twins watched as Hedwig tried to knock a death eater off his broom. Cassandra saw a blinding green light, knowing that Hedwig was gone.

"No!" Harry yelled. "No!"

The death eater pulled back. The twins thought they were in the clear, but then their scars started to hurt.

"Harry!" A voice called out. "Cassandra!"

Voldemort was right there. The twins managed to get their wands out and created the infamous Y as their spells collided. The wand that Voldemort was using was breaking so he pulled out. Cassandra hit the button for them to go faster. Hagrid woke up, still dazed from being knocked out. The last thing Cassandra remembers is hitting the ground before knocking out.

"Where's Moody?" Cassandra asked, afraid.

Sirius and Remus exchanged glances before Remus spoke up.

"He unfortunately did not make it." Remus said.

"What?" Cassandra said. "No, he had to have made it."

"I'm sorry, Cassie, but he didn't." Sirius said.

To Cassandra, Moody had always been nice. He offered to help her out with Auror training in the future. She was going to use him as a reference when she signed up for Auror training.

Cassandra sank to her knees, crying. Part of her couldn't believe that another person died helping her. She knew the whole escape plan was dangerous, but she believed that they could've gotten away with it.

"It'll be alright, Cassie." Jack said, running a hand over her back. "Go get some sleep."
