It was gloomy, rainy, dark. The castle basically disguised itself within the clouds and the darkness. It was cold throughout the home. Daphne stayed in her room, away so nobody would both her. She wanted to be alone. Nobody to yell at her, make her feel worse than she already has.
"You busy?" Lucas knocks as he opens the door. I put down my pen.
"Not at all."
"What you drawing there?" He looks around the room. He chuckles as he looks at the diamond he gave her many years ago.
"Nothing." I closed my journal and sat up. "Is my father still here or did he leave?" My father had to look for Potter, Voldemorts orders.
"He left this morning." Lucas picks up the chess game from my shelf and heads to my bed. "You've been in here since the morning, Fiona is gone, she left with your father." He sets up the game.
"Good, i could at least leave my room so I can eat. That woman is always behind me." We started to play chess. "A16." I called out.
"Always badgering. I know, i used to live with her." He looks at the board. He thinks for a moment. "C8."
"Why don't you do something about her?"
"I hate her, i do. But she is still my sister. I would never kill anyone, not her."
"I thought you killed before?"
"No, i use a spell that 'kills' you but within minutes you come back. Clever huh?"
"Look at you. Mister Spellman."
"You got jokes. Anyways, I don't have the guts to do it. Im not evil. I should not be the one taking a life. Not even if they do deserve it." We stayed silent for awhile, taking turns on the board. "I came here to talk to you."
"Oh no, im in trouble aren't I? What is it now? What lie did you hear?"
"No lie. You need to cool it down with your smart remarks when you are around Fiona, trust me, they do put her in line but she will snap and it will get ugly." I looked at him. He was serious.
"How ugly? Like-"
"Thats the thing with Fiona, we don't know what she will do. Usually she'll harm, torture, even kill. With you, she won't kill you, but she might do something worse." Oh how lovely. Thats so comforting to hear. He places his hand on my shoulder. "Even if she does do something, I will stop her before she gets the chance."
"Is that why my father scared of her?"
"He isn't. Its the threats she tells him that scares him. Before you were born, she would abuse him, verbally. I sometimes think why he stayed with her all those years. Your father had it worse with his father whenever he was back home." It made me feel bad for my father. No wonder he's so closed off, barely showing his emotions and is the way he is.
"Why did he choose her?"
"Fiona was the only girl who was interested in him. If it weren't for Fiona getting into his head, I would like to believe your father would be with Lily, or someone better." We both jumped to hear arguing from downstairs. Lucas and I ran to the staircase and saw Fiona and my father fighting. "Stay here." Lucas tells me as he tries to stop the fight. "Stop this!"
"Do you really have what it takes to raise her?" My father growls as Lucas holds him back.
"Of course I do! What, you don't believe me?"
"No I don't." He gets out of Lucas' grip and gets in her face. Fionas lip twitched. "The only reason why you are here is to fulfill the dark lords wishes." What did he mean by that? Lucas pats on his arm and points at me, my father looks up to see me looking down at them.

Fiona's POV
Somerset, England 1981
I could've killed Katherine right there. What stopped me? Now she will get in the way. She will know everything. I have to get to Sev now before anything happens. The rain came down hard and I finally made it home. The little cottage home was lit up, meaning Severus was awake.
"Severus?" I called as I walked into the home.
"Fiona?" He peaks out from the room. He had Daphne in his arms. I ran to him, kissing him. I took Daphne from him. "Is everything alright? Whats wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong my love." I cradled Daphne, making her go to sleep. He looks at me with concern. "We have to go. We need to go to the dark lord." I hand him Daphne as I started to pack a bag.
"We agreed not to bring Daphne when we go see him. We'll take her to Katherine."
"No!" I snapped. He holds Daphne close to his chest. "Katherine is in the Order of the Phoenix, we can't trust her. Look at the bright side my love, the dark lord will be so happy to see her. He can finally meet her." I tried to take Daphne from him but he backs away. "Severus."
"Daphne is a baby. I will not have the lord see her." I was frustrated. My nose twitched. "I will not have you take her to him."
"We agreed to."
"I change my mind. I will not have my child go through the same pain that I did."
"Our!" I yelled at him. "Our child. Severus, if you dont give me Daphne, i will kill you." I took out my wand and pointed at him. "Give me Daphne."
"Expelliarmus!" My wand flew out of my hand. "You get away from my daughter." The fireplace lit green and came in Lucas. I growled.
"Severus!" Lucas stands in front of him. "Don't even think about it." He draws his wand.
"Just give me my daughter."
"Or what? You'll kill us like you did to mother and father?" I looked at my wand on my left.
"You killed Mera and Jude?" Severus said shockingly. "Why? They loved you."
"They loved Lucas and Katherine more. I was the odd one of the family. You all knew that Jude and Mera were in the way. I had to let go some of the dead weight." Lucas was getting angry. I laughed at him.
"You killed my mother." He grips his wand. I ran for my wand and casted the Cruciatus Curse. Severus and Lucas hid behind the wall and Daphne crying.
"Dont do this Fiona! Think about Daphne!"Severus comes around the corner and yells.
"Have her for all I care, i will be back for her. I can wait. Ill come when you least expect it and make it hell." I stormed out of the home and looked at it one last time. "Confringo!" The home bursted into flames. I smiled at the sight. I walked away, heading to the place I know im supposed to. It was time to see Voldemort. I appeared at Godric's Hollow. I waited in front of the Potter Residence. I put my hood up as I saw The Dark Lord appear.
"Glad you are here Fiona." He slithers.
"Anything for you my lord."
"Wheres the girl?" He spoke about Daphne.
"Severus has her. You'll meet her soon. She will do anything for you, i swear by it." He gives me a smile.
"Im glad to hear." He walks up to the gate and I opened the front door. I saw James Potter running down the stairs.
"Hello there Potter." His eyes widen as if he saw a ghost. "Where are you running to?" He runs up the stairs.
"Lily!" He cries.
"Avada Kedavra!" I yelled out. His body fell back, lifeless. It put a smile on my face. Voldemort went upstairs to take care of that Lily. I heard her scream and a flash of green light came out out the bedroom. I went to see what had happened and Voldemort was gone, there was the Potters baby, crying. I looked down at him, i picked him up. "You are in for a real treat Potter. Wait until my daughter comes along and makes your life miserable." I heard ruckus coming from inside the home. I put down the boy and hid in the hallway.
"Lily..." I looked to see Severus coming into the room. He looks to see Lily. He was broken. "Oh no no. Lily." He picks her up. He still loved her. I ran out of the home and the Ministry of Magic showed up.
"Fiona Scarlet Cox." They grabbed me. "You are going to Azkaban for the death of James and Lily Potter and the murder of Jude and Mera Cox." They held me down, cuffed me.
"He'll be back to finish the job! My daughter will be the one to kill the boy!" I shouted as they took me away.

Daphne's POV
"What wishes?" I asked as i still was up on the stairs. Fionas smile faded. Lucas smirks looking at her.
"You haven't told her?" Lucas laughs. Fiona looks back at me. "Severus, do the honors."
"Dont! The plan will be ruined!" She tried to stop my father.
"Your mother promised the lord to conceive a child, and that child would help him through the second war, to stop the chosen one, help kill him." Fiona yells. I stood there in shock. The only reason im here was because she promised that pale ugly reptile lover a child? My hand covers my mouth. I was in disbelief. I ran to my room again and cried. My father followed and came in.
"Why didn't you give me away!? I was just a plan." I cried.
"You were never a plan to me." He comes up to me, but kept his distance. He knew I was going to do something if he tried to hug me. "I would never give you up. You are too special to let go. Thats why me, Katherine and Lucas tried so hard to keep you away from all this. We never wanted you go into the dark." He takes a step forward, making me flinch. "Im sorry for all this. I wish I could go back in time and fox everything."
"Did you know? Did you know about that plan?" I gasped.
"No, not until Crouch Jr told me years ago." I ran up to him. "You're alright. Im here."
