"She was born from darkness itself, it was woven in her bones and carved in her heart. She was the Light born from Darkness, because all stars are born in the dark. She was Cassiopeia Lestrange."

TIME IS ONE OF the greatest tragedies of life. When you want it to slow down, it flies fast and when you want it fly past, it passes excruciatingly slowly, making sure you feel everyday a torture. Time is not the clock hanging on the wall showing hours, minutes and seconds, Time is the moments we spent with our loved ones, as we make memories with them.
The stolen moments Cassi and Harry lived in Hogwarts in the end of their sixth year were treasured memories. The moments which they had spend together was like living on borrowed time. And she could have given anything to live those moments again, even if it was for a short time.
After the blunder Rowle had created by letting Harry escape, there was no news about his whereabouts. A taboo was put on The Dark Lord's name, which resulted in many people's capture. The school had started in September, and Professor Snape was appointed as the headmaster and the Carrows were given teaching position.
Draco was sent to attend Hogwarts, mainly because Narcissa and Cassi wanted to keep him away from the death eater stuff. Cassi felt Draco was more safe at school than at the manor. Draco had gone to school, even though all he wanted to do stay with them.
With Draco gone Cassi felt more lonely and depressed than ever. On October 2, something happened which angered the Dark Lord even more. Somehow Harry, Hermione and Ron had snuck inside the ministry, freed multiple muggleborns and got away. Yaxley had tried to catch them, but only failed. But in the process he had discovered the 12 Grimmauld Place. Not wanting any death eater to go through Sirius's stuff, or discover anything important, Cassi had taken the task of finding clues in it herself. Yaxley wasn't happy to give it to her, but he didn't dare refuse her.
After searching the house, Cassi was relieved to find that there was nothing of importance to the Dark Lord. She had also met Kreacher there who as happy to see her as he had been last. She hadn't asked anything about Harry, Hermione or Ron, and instead sent him to work in Hogwarts kitchen.
The rest of October had passed without any traces of them.

She had wandered off. Cassi could tell by the empty streets and the dull shops that she wasn't in a familiar place. She had never seen this place before. Cassi had come to have drink in a wizard's pub, because she was wanted a bit privacy and also she was tired. Sleep was luxury she couldn't afford and the last days had kept her busy in catching the people who broke the taboo. The pub wasn't packed like it used to be, mainly because of Voldemort's terror. Instead it had only few people who were minding their own business. Cassi had made sure to keep her hood very low so that no one can recognize her.
