Cassies pov

Apparently Umbridge was checking my class today. I was ecstatic! NOT I hate her with such a despise! Harry was still upset with what happened last year because not many people believe Voldemorts back and that witch gave him detention the first class and made him write with a blood quill. I waited outside where I had a desk set up for me near the hut. I had cushions for the kids to sit on so they wouldnt get dirty. Today I would be teaching both Gryffindor and Slytherin for the first time. I waited patiently as kids walked over and sat on a cushion. When everyone was there I looked around and smiled, I noticed Harry was there which made me happier." Okay today class we will-" I start but I here the 'Hem hem' of Umbridge and I grab a cough drop and walk over to her and shove it in her hand before walking back to my class. "Today we will be learning about bowtruckles which is why we're outside today." I start but am cut of by Umbridges 'Hemming' "WHAT?" I ask annoyed. "Im trying to teach" I tell her and she walks over. "I need to ask a few questions" she says and pulls her clipboard out. The class stares at us because the whole school knew my disliking for her was big. "Full name" she says and I sit on my desk glaring at the ground. "Cassandra Elle Britt" I tell her. "Blood" she says even though she already knew. "Pure" I mutter. "Your house when you attended Hogwarts?" she asks. "Gryffindor" I tell her and smile at the Gryffindors. "Anything you're good at?" she asks. "Hmm. I was the best quidditch seeker. So I can play quidditch. I aced all my classes in my youth but was fond of D.A.D.A more. I can make kids shut up within two minutes. I was also offered a position in the ministry of magic when i finished school but i dislined it." I tell her. "You were a seeker?!" Harry asks I chuckle "Yes." I nod. "Ive told you about my school days so you have to do the same." he says. "Of course, kiddo" I tell him. Umbridge 'hem hem's again and I snap. "BLOODY HELL WOMAN WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" I yell. She gets up and writes something on her clipboard before stomping off. "Son of a-" I start muttering but Harry cuts me off. "Urm aunt Cassie we're still here." he says I sigh and look at the class. "Raise your hand if you hate Umbridge" I announce. All the Gryffindors did and a few Slytherins did. "Everyone with there hand raised is awarded five points." I announce. "Now on with the lesson...."

Later that day Harry stopped by the hut during dinner time. "Hello Harry" I smile as he sits beside me in the other chair. "Hello." he says looking a little more gloomy. "You seem saddened. How about storytime" I tell him. Story time for me and him meant our life story. "Are you telling yours?" he asks perking up. "Yep. Sit back grab a cup of tea I made and dig in to the cookies I cooked up because this will take awhile. I'll tell you things I never told anyone else." I tell him. He smiles and grabs the mug of tea I had sitting for him and a cookie.

"Mother. I received my letter" I say quietly. You see, my mother and I never talked and my father only abused me because he never wanted a girl. I was the third born and the mistake of the family. "Gosh you intolerant child cant you see I am busy" she said even though she wasnt busy. My life at home was terrible and I had always despised the dark arts which they loved. My brother Richie didnt like it either, he was the youngest. They never knew though he wasnt brave enough to tell anyone but me about his hatred against evil. Which is why he didnt get into Gryffindor because he was so cowardly but very sneaky.

I hated it there and when I actually got on the train I met Lily who instantly became my friend along with Severus

I walk onto the train leaving my 'family' to say there goodbyes to each other. I run into a girl with long curly red hair. "Sorry" I say quietly. "Its okay. Im Lily" she smiles and points beside her. "This is Severus." she adds. "Im Cassandra" I tell her. "Thats a pretty name" she compliments and I nod "Same for yours." I tell her. She giggles before skipping away with Sev following her. Im pushed to the ground hard and I yelp in pain. "Hello little sis." My oldest brother Nathaniel sneers. "Leave me alone" I whisper. "No bitch!" he laughs. He was about to kick me but someone tackles him. "Leave her alone you ass!" the boy screams. Nathaniel runs off and the boy stands up with a friend beside him. "Hi Im James. Are you okay?" the boy who scared my brother away smiles at me. "Im Cassandra. Im fine." I tell him. The other boy helps me up "Im Sirius" he says. "Do you know him?" he asks. "My brother" I mutter. "You're a Britt?!" James asks shocked. I shrug "You know Cassandra is a really weird name." James laughs. "Im calling you Cass" he says. "okay" I said quietly.

"I was a shy girl at first but I grew on them." I laugh as I take a break from the story. "So that's why you hate being called Cassandra" he says. "Because my dad didnt call you it" he says. "I haven't liked it since he....you know" I say quietly. "Keep on your story please" Harry says.

I smile softly and continue him listening the entire time

Harrys pov

I listened carefully to each word and when she finished her tale of her first year to her final year it was past ten. "What happened after school ended?" I ask. I see her take a sharp intake like I hit a nerve. "Its getting late Harry. Ill walk you back" she says. "Not until you tell me " I tell her. She sighs and continues

"I moved in with Lily and James. When she found out she was pregnant with you we were all excited. Then we found out the profecy and we had to have extra guarding and were never aloud to leave. When you were born you were so cute. I remember you would cry at night and I would run in there and get you before Lily and James woke up. Your bright green eyes shining when I would talk to you about anything and everything. I would talk to you till you feel asleep. Which of course James and Lily knew I was doing it because they didnt have to wake up at night like they would normally have to. I remember you growing and I wanted you do badly to say my name first. Lily was fighting with James about it and I was betting with Sirius about it. He ended up winning and I was heartbroken. I always thought I'd be there for you.

She stopped abruptly and she started crying softly and looked into my eyes. "It was my all my fault" she whispers. "What was?" I ask.

I remember playing with you and James on the couch. Lily ran in all of a sudden and said 'You know who is here.' We panicked. James gave you to Lily so we could hold Voldemort off. James left his wand but I had mine. "Leave them alone!" James yelled to him but he laughed. "Get out of my way you fool" he says. James shook his head and Voldemort yelled "Avada Kadavra." I didnt do anything. I was frozen in fear until the words left his mouth and I screamed as he fell to the ground. "Get out of the way silly girl" he said to me. I was shaking so badly that he walked past and up to you and Lily. I was crying into James' body and when I heard Lily scream heart shattered. I had to get out. Nobody knew I was staying with them anyway besides Sirius and Peter and Remus. I apparated to the nearest muggletown and started over.

She says and had guilt written all over her face. "Im so sorry Harry" she cries. "When I saw you for the first time I was so shocked that you were there and looked so much like James." she continued. "Its okay." I say softly. I hug her and she wraps her arms around me and put her chin on my head. "I missed you growing up" she says softly. "I cant hold the little five year old Harry like this anymore" she says. "Come on lets get you to your dorm. Ill walk you" she says wiping off any trace of crying. She grabs my hand and we walk, not in a couple way but in a mother-son way. I smile at the thought. "Nobody knows I witness his death Harry. You cant tell people, promise ?" she asks quietly when we got to the portal hole. "I promise. Goodnight" I tell her. "Night Harry I love you" she says. "I love you too, Aunt Cass" I tell her before leaving and going straight to bed with a smile on my face.
