The Seer

Chapter 44

I stood in a dark room, with small twinkling lights. Glass balls. I was in the department of Mysteries. I looked around to see one of them glowing brighter than the rest. I walked for to see it.

"Neither can live while the other one dies," It whispered as I picked it up.

"You know, you really should be able to tell the difference between dreams, and reality," Lucius Malfoy stated.

I let out a gasp flinging myself backwards and causing the chair I was sat in to almost tip over if it wasn't for someone standing behind me. I noticed Molly was kneeling next to my chair, as she began to check on me as I tried to calm down.

"Harry's prophecy, they're after Harry's prophecy," I exclaimed, as I went to stand up but was quickly pushed back down into my seat.

"Calm down Cassidy," Molly whispered to me.

"What else did you see?" Snape asked immediately, that when I noticed he was sitting to the right of me.

"Lucius Malfoy, he said 'You know, you really should be able to tell the difference between dreams, and reality,'" I quoted him.

"What does that mean?" Sirius questioned.

"I don't know, that was all I saw, all I heard," I shook my head, "I forgot what that felt like," I shook my head trying to get rid of the fogginess that crowded it.

"Drink this," Molly whispered as she passed me a cup filled with some form of liquid. I grabbed it gently while my hands were shaking. I took a small sip of it at first, before I began to take large gulps of the delicious pumpkin juice. It was ripped out of my hands before I could chug the whole thing.

"Oh come on Molly," I whined as I reached for the cup once again.

"I should've given you something else, Lord knows you'll make yourself sick with this," She muttered as she stood up and walked away with the cup in hand, leaving me to pout in my seat.

"Bunch of bullshit," I grumbled with crossed arms.

"Excuse me if I'm wrong, but aren't you an adult," Tonks laughed at me.

"I may be an adult, but I'm still a child at heart," I sassed, "Especially when it comes to pumpkin juice," I gave a firm nod, as my eyes tracked Molly around the room with the cup in her hand. My nose scrunched up as I watched her dump the pumpkin juice before filling it with tea.

"Blasphemy!" I shouted pointing at her, "Keep that shit away from me!"

"Cassidy, it's just tea," She argued I glared at her before point my nose up and turning my head away from her.

"Tea is disgusting," I muttered, "Charlie would let me have the pumpkin juice,"

"And how often did Charlie let you get sick off of the pumpkin juice, because he doesn't have the ability to argue with you," She questioned.

"He argued plenty! I'm just stubborn and don't learn lessons quickly," I argued back with her.

"Cassidy, it's just pumpkin juice," Sirius shook his head in disbelief, causing me to turn towards him with my glare.

"I'm sorry, but are you, my father taking her side over mine?" I demanded causing his eyes to go wide, before raising his hands in surrender.

"You know what Molly, you're on your own for this one," Sirius took a step back, as I turned to face Molly once again.

"Why don't you tell me why you tell me what is so wrong with tea," She finally demanded

"Supersitition," I grumbled, "Call me crazy all you want but you don't know what I know,"

"Enlighten us," Dumbledore commented with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. I finally let out a huff before I began to speak.

"First time I had tea, James had allowed me a sip from his cup, then the order was attacked, second time I tried tea, my godparents were killed, third time I tried tea, the chamber of secrets was opened, the fourth time, had aurors showed up at the orphanaged demanding to know the wearabouts of my father," I turned towards said father, "Not that I was upset about that, mostly just the fact they tore apart my room, last time I had tea was to do a reading and I got the fucking grim, and proceeded to almost kill someone. So excuse me, for not wanting tea," I finished.

"Alright, no tea," She agreed, "Water it is,"

"Damn it," I cursed causing a round of laughter.

"What's with the fixation of pumpkin juice," Remus questioned.

"Comfort, reminds me of happier times," I smiled, "When I got old enough for juice James and Lily would always give me pumpkin juice, Lily made it in a very particular way, and I may or may not have befriend the house elves at Hogwarts who made it for me," I smiled brightly until the water was set in front of me, causing a scowl to come across my face before I picked it up and sipped on it slowly. Molly smiled brightly at the sight before taking a seat next to Arthur.

"Don't look so smug Molly, you may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war," I smirked as I took another sip, "Alright let's get to business. What have I missed?" I questioned them.

"Not much, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, is in the wind, we have the ministry believing your father is somewhere in central Europe," Kingsley shrugged.

"Have you been getting the daily prophet?" Sirius questioned, I shook my head before several were dropped down in front of me. I started from the oldest to the newest, the newest of which had my face plastered onto the front page.

"Well, they've really been dragging you guys through the mud," I muttered before finally pulling up the one with my face on it.

Cassidy Black - Missing. On it had the most recent picture of me in front of the Three Broomsticks with a bright smile on my face.

"Who reported me as missing?" I questioned, "I'll be more than happy to walk into the Ministry to say hello,"

"We don't know who did," Kingsley shook his head, "Someone who obviously wants you found, can you think of who that might be?"

"Oh I already know who it is, let me rephrase my question, who was it that reported it for him? I mean he's not exactly going to walk into the Ministry and reveal himself, after he just came back," I stated, "You find out who reported me missing, then you'll be one step closer to figuring out where he's hiding out,"

"Well if you wouldn't mind taking a trip to the Ministry with me tomorrow, you can get the report that was made while also imforming them, that you are very much not missing," Kingsley suggested.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan to me," I nodded.

"Why does he want you?" Arthur questioned.

"I can see the future, he can't," I shrugged, before reaching forward to grab a biscuit as I munched on it.

"Does that not terrify you?" Sirius questioned, with a look of worry.

"It did, not anymore... I've had time, to come to terms with this... and I know that I will end up in his hands at some point, but I'm also aware of the fact that I will survive," I slowly explained pausing here and there to think through what I was saying, "I have a good support system that will be waiting for me on the other side of everything. Maybe if I didn't have that support, I would be more terrified, but there's people who love me, who have welcomed me into their home time and time again, that I know they won't hesitate to do it again," I gently smiled at Arthur and Molly before looking down as I took a small bite of the biscuit.

"Plus there's also James, who has been teaching me a lot on about facing my fears, and that has been imesensly helpuful," I added on, "So, what time do we leave for the Ministry?"
