Snow crunched beneath her feet, every step leaving behind a trail of Cassiopeia sized boot prints. She took small steps, moving with caution and creep. Each breath earned a white cloud of cold, her emerald eye's stinging against the winter night's wind. She could see the orange glow of a fire burning up ahead, only half a dozen trees away.
Only four trees away, and she could hear sounds of commotion and place several fast moving shadows.
Two trees. One....
She stood silent and assessing in the tree line, her entire person hidden in the thick brush stemming from a Massive Sequoia. A few meters ahead were two silhouettes rolling around on the earth floor in a tangle of robes and hair. It seemed the rule of wand waving had been replaced with a messy man brawl in the case of the two men. She had a lovely show of thrashing feet and legs.
If only she could make out their faces.
She took another step and stretched out her neck; A twig snapped beneath her heel and she cringed with closed squinting eye's. Of course the men were oblivious in their punching.

Cassi didn't understand why he'd be fearful, but the moment he was thrown from atop the other man, she wondered no more.
Lucius Malfoy flipped onto his stomach, his head jerking to see the source of Avery's distraction. Right there in his colorless eye's reflected Cassiopeia's own shock.
"Lucius?"
He stood and brushed himself off, flinging his tangled starlight hair away from his face.

"Cassiopeia."
"How? How is this possible? You died. I saw you die!"
Her question went unanswered and was instead followed by another query from the voice of Avery.
