The next day the three got ready to meet their rival. Daphne skips down the stairs and sees the three getting ready to leave.

"When will you be back?" I said as I stopped on the middle of the stairs, looking at them. Katherine opened her arms, making me hug her.

"Not too long."

"If we dont get back within 3 hours, leave, dont look back." My father said, my heart started to beat faster. I got scared. Katherine snaps her head at him.

"What he means is that we wont be there more than 3 hours." She smiles. "Dont scare her." Katherine moves my messy hair to the back, I wasn't caring about my hair as much, i didnt put the effort anymore, why would I? "What are you going to do when we're gone?"

"Stay in my room, like I dont exist." Lucas chuckles.

"Dont you have friends?"

"Draco and Blaise cant come here, its too risky." My father said to him.

"But they dont know about Li-"

"We have to go." My father cuts her off.

"Just be careful." I nodded my head. Lucas waved, while Katherine kisses my head. "Father." I called out. "Please?" He nods his head and closes the door. I stood alone in the room, now counting down when they will be home again.

✷ ✷ ✷

The three walked up to the mossy castle that belonged to them. Lucas opens the door and the castle looks so dark, so empty.

"Come out Fiona, we're here." Lucas calls for her. The three stood in a line, waiting. Severus' eyes looked up as he saw the mother of his daughter coming down the stairs.

"Brother." Fiona smiles wickedly. "Little sister, Severus."

"That dress doesn't belong to you." Katherine growls as she saw her older sister wearing a dress that once belonged to their mother.

"Why not?"

"You killed her, in this home." She walked up to her but Lucas pulls her back.

"I found it in the back of her dresser, mother always had her dark side." She fixes the dress. It was old, Victorian, black with lace. "Even though she tried to hide it."

"Why are we here?" Severus snarls.

"How is she?" Fiona changes the subject. She walked around them, eyeing every one of them. "Fine." She claps her hands.

"Shes away." She tsk.

"See Severus, you can't lie to me." She stops walking. "I know she's in that disgusting little house of yours." Everyone nearly choked on air. "What? You actually believed that I took your word that you sold your home back then? Im not stupid." She laughs. "I mean she cant be here because of me, she cant be in France because of you two." She pointed at Severus and Lucas. "And well, I thought to myself, shes in London."

"You wont get to her." Katherine tells her. Fiona snaps at her.

"No I will. Probably not today, nor the next. But I will." She sits down on the couch. "So, how is she? My dearest Daphne?" Nobody said anything again. Fiona groans, throwing her head back. "Come on!"

"Don't waste our time."

"Sorry, but where are my manners? I haven't seen you two in a long time." She looks at Severus and Katherine. "Katherine, hows Sirius, oh wait. He died. Poor puppy." Katherines nose twitched, Lucas holding her back again. "Lucas, still hear the voices? Regulus' right? Your one and only-"

"Enough Fiona!" Severus stops her. She walks up to him.

"Merlins Severus, you gotten soft." She ran her hand over his chest. "I told you not to let Daphne in."

"She's my daughter."

"OUR!" She screams at him. The three focused on her. "See, no matter where you go, where you hide her, im always one step a head of you." She paced around. "I mean i had all of this planned out. I spent 13 years in Azkaban, I had time to think this all through. I am going to see her no matter what. Daphne will help us kill Harry Potter either you like it or not." Fiona looks at them. "All of you have been playing my game and you haven't been able to see it. Thank you really for bring me closer."

"Go to hell." Katherine told her.

"Do you know how much pain you brought her?" Severus steps up. Fiona looks up at him. "She cries every night, she cant tell the boy she loves anything because they'll kill him if she does, the pain in her arm, all because of you." He points at her with his finger.

"This has been at play ever since she was born, Daphne is meant for this. She will not fail me or the Lord himself. She won't be a traitor like you." She looks up and down at Katherine.

"She's not like you." Severus tells her.

"She will. I cant wait to meet her anyways. Ive heard so much. I get to have my sweet Daphne Lilith in my arms again."

"You wont get away with this."

"I know deep down Daphne-"

"You're going to kill her no matter what." Katherine stares at her. Fiona turns to her. She grabs her chin, making Katherine look at her.

"I always get what I want." She pushes her away. Fiona struts back to the couch. "Mother knows best."

"Mother?" Katherine scuffs. "You know nothing about being a mother. I raised that girl! All me! Im her mother! No thanks to you!" Fiona was about to slap her sister, but Severus came in, pushing her away.

"Nobody asked you to." She looks at Severus. "You cant stop this, Sev. Whats done is done."

"You took my little girl away from me." He looks down at her, gripping her wrist tight. "You have no idea the hell ive been through. The hell shes been through. She already thinks im a bad father."

"The moment you went with them," she referred to her siblings. "Was the day you became a bad father. You turned soft."

"You killed Lily."

"I didn't, the Lord did. She deserved it." Severus eyes grew black. "Still choosing her. Lily never loved you. I do. I always had, she left you when you needed her most. Her husband bullied you and she let it happen. So let it go." Lucas pulls Severus back.

"This is what she wants, dont let her get to you." Lucas whispers to him.

"And you." She turns to her big brother. "Working with her, the lord will kill you."

"Dont start something you cant finish Fiona. I am loyal to the lord, always been."

"Is that so? What about Regulus? I know you helped him, including that ragged elf of his. Yeah?" Lucas got rattled from the name he used to say long ago.

"Dont bring him up." He said coldly.

"My, look at the time." She looks at the clock. "Better get home to Daphne then." Severus glanced at her as Katherine walked with him out. "Oh reminder to you all, no matter where you hide her, we will meet, theres no way out. So stop wasting your time hiding her. We will be together. Unstoppable. Because I always win." She winks at them. "Ta!" Lucas huffs and pushes the two out of the castle.

✷ ✷ ✷

I stayed in my room as I locked Wormtail in the basement, turning up the music as he screams for help, to minimize the noise. I headed downstairs to get a glass of water. I made my way to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water. I heard the front door creak open, they were back.

"Welcome back." I said as I passed them, walking upstairs. I stopped as I saw 4 people in the front room. 4? They brought someone? I walked backwards and my eyes widen as I saw the forth person. "Lisa!" I gasped, running down the stairs, laughing as I hugged her. We both swayed side to side. The three saw how happy I was to see Lisa. "What are you doing here?" My father walks away to the library.

"I was invited. They told how lonely you are, that you needed me." I chuckled to see my best friend in front of me.

"My room is on the top on the left, get yourself comfortable, Ill be there." Lisa smiles and headed up. "Thank you!" I hugged Katherine.

"It wasn't me." I looked up at her. She looks at the library. Father? I let her go and headed in the room. I saw him reading the paper in the same chair I always seen him sit in.

"You did this?" I leaned back on the doorframe. He looks up, slowly nodding. I walked up to him and hugged him. "Thank you. This means so much to me." I gave him a quick peck his cheek. He froze. I happily skipped up the stairs and into my room, locking the door behind me. Lisa was looking at my record collection on my shelves.

"You like muggle music?" She turns to me, holding a record. I walked up to her, she chose a beatles record that Lucas gave me one year. The record spun, Lisa smiled as I jumped up and down, grooving to the music. "Merlins Daph!"

"Well, she was just seventeen, You know what I mean And the way she looked was way beyond compare." I sang along. I pulled her to me and danced. The two of us were laughing at our horrible moves. The laughter blasted throughout of the home, making Lucas laugh, Katherine smile and Severus smirk. A laughter they never heard in a long time. The girls fell on the floor, heavily breathing. Lisa looked at Daphne as she smiled to herself.

"I want to show you something." Lisa sat up, bring out her briefcase. Daphne slowly picked herself up and watched her. "Follow me." She winks and steps into the case. Daphnes eyes widen. Lisas hand pops up and snaps her fingers and points down. Daphne steps in and walks down these steps into a home. Daphnes head looks around, the home was filled with antiques and plants. Creatures flew around her, she saw Lisa outside, smiling and petting more creatures. "Welcome."

"What is this place?" Lisa puts a bowtruckle on her shoulder.

"This used to belong to my grandfather. Newt Scamander." She laughs. She saw how memorized she looked. "He was a Magizoologist, he sure did love his beasts."

"This is beautiful."

"My grandfather gave me his briefcase, he saw so much of him in me. Rolf was so mad." Her twin brother, Rolf. "As a little girl, he used to take me here, everyday, taking care of them, sending them off to where they need to be." She pets a flying seahorse. "Ever since then, he inspired me to become a Magizoologist."

"That's wonderful Lisa."

"Come!" She grabbed Daphnes hand and showed her the newly hatched Occamies. "Just be careful." Lisa handed her one. Daphne smiles as she held a occamy for the first time. It slithered up her arm. "Cool huh?"

"Very." Daphne places the occamy down.

"Sorry, but someone wants to introduce themselves to you." She looks at her shoulder. "This is Pickett. Has been by my grandfathers side since forever." He waved at her, Daphne smiled and waved back. She looked at her hand, her ring from Draco was gone.

"My ring!" Daphne looked around, she probably dropped it.

"Leonard!" Lisa yelled. She turns to a Niffler, wearing the ring. "Give it back to Daphne. It belongs to her." He waddle up to me and looked up at Lisa. "Go on." He handed me the ring back. "Watch out for anything else, he probably stole it too." She walks back into the tiny home. I touched my neck to see my necklace still there. We headed back up to my room and Lisa locked the case.

"Lisa, im so amazed." I smirked at her. "You really doing that!?"

"I thought maybe I could finish what he started. He would be proud of me."

"He would be proud you no matter what." The girls jumped on the bed, sitting down, gossiping.

"Heard anything bout Draco?" Lisa whispered. My chest clenched. I shook my head. Its been days since he last wrote to me. I wrote him twice and still nothing. I crossed my arms, while Lisa sat close to me.

"Ever since Lucius went to Azkaban, hes been off." I took a deep breath. Lisa looks at me. If Lisa was being honest, She did like Daphne once ago, but now, she only saw her more of a friend than a crush or lover.

"Lets not talk about it then, I dont want to see you sad."

"Alright."Lisa puts up her pinky. I smirked, locking mine with hers.

"I promise you everything will be okay." We kissed our thumbs, locking the promise. She pulls a book from my self and turns to the first page and started to read aloud. Our legs tangled up together, me smiling. Lisa feel asleep and I didnt. I turned to her, putting her hair behind her ear.

Im glad to have her in my life. I needed this. Daphne puts her head on Lisas shoulder as they still were close, legs tangled, music playing. Shes been through my darkest days and I would be lost without her. Lisa is a blessing.
