Death's Mediator

Startling Eyes

Disclaimer: I do not come from England and My name does not start with J.K. and my last name is not Rowling this all adds up to the fact that I do not own Harry Potter what so ever.

Prologue

October 31st, 1981

The scene was frightening. Blood, destruction, broken wood beams, and the screams of an awoken and frightened child. Residue of dark magic lingered in the air, Edmund Potter was crying out for his parents, scared and scarred while Veratrum sat in a corner of her cot. Relaxed and unconcerned with everything going on around her. James Potter and his wife, Lily, ran to Edmund ignoring their second child.

Albus Dumbledore, revered hero and leader of the light stared at the small girl in the corner with barely concealed disgust. The one year old's two colored eyes staring back at him unblinking and glazed over as if she wasn't in their reality.

"it would seem that Eddy is the Boy-Who-Lived. He is crying from forcing so much magic through his system to save himself and his sister." Albus couldn't tell why but he wanted to get rid of Veronica Potter.

"you will need to send the second one somewhere else so Eddy won't get distracted from his training." He continued to say.

Lily looked over at her youngest child, a shudder racking through her body at the sight of that pure bright mercury silver eye. A color that neither James nor she knew where it came from, "I have a muggle sister. We'll send her there."

All through this none of them thought to check on young Veronica. None knew what they caused by allowing this to go unchecked seeing as she was the youngest of the two. The Peverell blood running stronger through their veins was strongest in hers. And said blood chose her as its new magic speaker.

Peverells had always been the speaker for death and Lady Magick. They were thought to have ceased in existences with the introduction of new blood in their lines but now, now one had returned to the world of the living and magic.

And now with Lord Death as his friend, Veronica was left in an orphanage after being moved from her Aunt's doorstep. All that is left is to wait. So Veronica Peverell is waiting for the three that she knows will come.
