---

17-years-old Lilith Desireé Evans sat in the train compartment completely alone. She wasn't like any ordinary girl. Her life changed irreversibly almost seven years ago when she got a strange letter inviting her to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Almost seven years ago Lily entered a new world full of magic, strange beings and adventures. Currently she was in her last year in the wonderful school, which was for her like second home.

Lily was returning to the boarding magic school after Eastern Holidays. She mindlessly stared through the window on the beautiful scenery. The weather was sunny and warm – it was quite opposite to her current mood. Lily's emerald eyes were full of tears, her face was pale and hair hung lifelessly down her back. She was sad because her mother Amanda died during holidays. But before her death she partly revealed Lily the secret of her birth.

Flashback

Lily exited the school train full of anticipation. She got rid of Potter and Black on the train and hurried to the muggle side of station – outside the magical barrier. She was looking forward to see her family again. Suddenly she noticed her father with grave expression on his face. Lily slowly came to him but before she could ask what was wrong her father – Charles spoke to her: ''Amanda had serious car accident. She is in hospital here – in London.'' Then with sadness in his voice continued. ''She is dying.''

''WHAT?'' shouted Lily disbelievingly. ''This can't be truth!''

''She… She wants to see you.'' Said Charles, took Lily's trunk and gently led her away from the station.

---

When they arrived to the hospital Lily was still in shock. Her mother was dying and she couldn't do anything. Lily was led to the private room where was her mother lying. She didn't notice that her father opened the door into the room, gently pushed her inside, closed the door again and left his daughter to say good-bye to her mother and his wife.

Lily silently approached her mother. Amanda looked horrible – her face was covered with bruises, which contrasted with her pale complexion. Her former beautiful auburn hair – much more like Lily's were cut short. Amanda's petite form was heavily bandaged. Lily dropped to her knees and buried her face next her mother's arm and started crying.

Amanda was resting. She knew that her time was shortening rapidly. She was afraid that she dies before could Lily learn the truth. Suddenly her troubled thoughts were broken by the sound of someone's crying. Amanda opened her blue eyes and saw her younger daughter. ''Lily.'' Whispered Amanda tiredly.

Lily looked up to her mother's face and opened her mouth to say something. But her mother continued. ''I don't have too much time. I have to say to you something that maybe changes your opinion of me. Your father don't know about it.''

''Mum, you scare me.'' Said Lily quietly.

''Nine months before your birth I started having strange dreams, which were more like memories. Memories of a black-haired man. And I felt safe and happy in his arms. When you were born – only one look in your eyes told me that you aren't Charles' daughter. You have emerald eyes of the man from my dreams. HIS eyes…'' said Amanda dreamily.

''Whose eyes?'' asked Lily curiously forgetting her mother's condition for a moment.

''I don't remember HIS name. I think it has to do with magic.'' Said Amanda seriously and slowly closed her eyes.

''Memory spell?'' asked Lily silently. Then something clicked in her mind. She picked her wand from her pocket, directed it on her mother and said. ''Reverse Obliviate.''

When the spell struck Amanda, she suddenly remembered. Two happiest months in her life returned to her. And with it also the memories of the love of her life. When Amanda looked at her daughter again said. ''You are truly HIS daughter.'' And Amanda slowly closed her eyes. She could feel the life escaping from her body.

''Whose daughter! WHOSE?'' asked Lily. Then she noticed that her mother had closed eyes and said desperately. ''Mum, wake up. MUM!''

Amanda opened her eyes for the last time and with the last of her strength whispered. ''Tom Ri…'' But before she could finish the name the Death took her from the world of living.

''Mother!'' cried Lily out trying to wake her mother. It was useless. Amanda Evans was dead.

End of Flashback

Tears were falling freely down Lily's cheeks. She was hurt that her mother never said her truth, but she accepted it. Lily was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Potter and Black trying to get to her compartment. The entrance to her compartment was heavily warded with privacy and protection spells – some of them were never taught at Hogwarts. After awhile both bothersome teens left the corridor.

Lily mindlessly unfastened a necklace with the hourglass and took it in her hand. She admired the time turner while holding it in her hand. Suddenly loud sounds of breaking ward on the compartment startled her. She pulled out her wand and directed it on the door. Soon enough her protection was broken and door blasted. Four figures dressed in black and with white masks entered the compartment.

'Death Eaters!' thought Lily in panic. She pulled herself together and fired first spell. ''Stupefy.''

One of the offenders fell on the floor. That only enraged others dark wizards and they started to attack poor Lily with variety of Dark Arts curses. She tried to defend herself, but soon one of them caught Lily off guard. She was struck with some unknown spell and her time turner reacted. Lily was enveloped in the blinding light. When the light disappeared Death Eaters looked around in confusion. The redhead teen was nowhere to be found.

---

Young dark-haired man in his late twenties ran out of his family manor when he noticed strange bright light outside. When he reached the place where the light shined few minutes ago he was surprised to see a young woman. Her long auburn hair covered her face and she was unconscious. He spotted her wand nearby. 'So, she is a witch.' He thought when he took her wand from the ground and put it in his robe. He took the redhead woman and carried her to his house.

He put her carefully on the bed in nearest room in the manor, when he entered the house. He drew aside woman's auburn hair. His dark-blue almost black eyes roamed over her body trying to find any serious injury. Then something drew his attention. Woman was clutching some jewellery. He took the necklace from an unconscious woman. When he saw what the necklace was in reality, he almost dropped it. 'Time turner?' pondered man in his mind. 'How can she take hold on time turner. They are so rare.'

Suddenly woman started stirring. He watched redhead slowly open her eyes. Their gazes locked. Dark-haired man was bewitched by the woman's emerald eyes. She was looking around in confusion trying to recognize place, where she was. Redhead woman turned to the man beside her and asked uncertainly. ''Where am I?''

Devlin answered her cautiously. ''You are in my manor near London. What's your name?''

A young woman frowned a little trying to remember her name. After few seconds, when her mind was still blank, she was slowly getting worried. Then she closed her eyes and some kind of vision ran before her eyes. A redhead woman in hospital was holding a newborn child and speaking something. Only one word stayed in redhead's mind.

''I'm Desireé… I think.'' Said quietly woman to her rescuer. ''But I can't exactly remember…''

At this man's eyes widened slightly. 'I can't remember… can't remember… remember…' that were his thoughts. He composed himself, smiled at the frightened woman and said calmly. ''My name is Devlin Walden.''

---

Desireé was happy in her new life, which started about week ago, when she woke up in Devlin's manor without any recollection of her past. At first she was surprised at the strange occurrences in the house and her powers, but Devlin explained her wizarding world. After that speech she read few books on spells and potions. She was quickly absorbing them. Devlin was surprised when he one day found Desireé in the library reading from a Dark Arts book and practising few spells on the mouse. He could say that it wasn't first time when she was performing dark magic. He was pleased with it because he wanted to reveal her who he was to the wizarding world.

''Tom, come in.'' said Devlin. A young dark-haired man entered study. He was Devlin's best friend and apprentice. They were introduced at Hogwarts – Devlin was teacher (Defence against Dark Arts) and Tom was one of his Slytherin students. Tom was now fresh out of school and started working for Devlin.

''My Lord.'' Said Tom seriously.

''TOM!'' warned him Devlin.

Tom pouted a little and said. ''I'm not allowed to have a fun Devlin?''

Devlin smiled at his antics. ''I want to introduce you someone? Desireé.''

Tom looked around and first time noticed petite redhead in the corner of the room. Before he could ask anything something exploded outside the house. Trio got out of the manor to see what was happening. ''Shit.'' Said Tom. About a dozen Light supporters were attacking wards around the house.

''Exactly.'' Replied Devlin, when few of them managed to break the wards. Then he turned to Tom and said. ''Protect her.''

Tom nodded and directed his wand at the first Auror, which stood in his path. Before he could uttered the curse Auror was lying on the ground consumed by one of the darkest curses ever known. Tom looked at the petite redhead beside him and noticed that curse was coming from her wand.

'His eyes. He has similar eyes like mine own. Who is he? Could he be my relative?' asked Desireé herself when she was staring at the young man who was beside her, while Devlin was building new wards.

'Who is this girl?' asked Tom himself. 'She has my eyes. And I feel like I should know her. But it is impossible.' He nodded and both of them were trying to stop another pair of light supporters who almost reached the house.

'Five out, seven left.' Thought Desireé when she saw Devlin to dispose of another two nuisances. Soon Desireé and Tom were surrounded by attackers and the fight started to be fiercer. Another two fell, when they were struck by paralysing curse and killing curse.

Both sides were getting exhausted and Devlin still didn't erect new wards. Desireé saw that one of the enemies was trying to sneaked on Tom. ''Look out.'' She cried out. But it was too late Tom fell unconscious on the ground.

''Get that wench.'' Said commander.

Desireé turned her wand on him and growled a curse. He ducked and she was hit by few spells. When Devlin noticed that they immobilised and unconscious Desireé he went mad with rage. He changed in his animagus form – Dark Falcon – and started singing. Soon light followers were captured in pain caused by Falcon's song. When they fell on the ground out cold with too much pain. Devlin transformed back to his human form.

He bound all twelve attackers and sent them in the Ministry by portkey. Then he finished wards and sealed them by his magical signature and few Dark Rituals. Devlin came to Desireé, which was still passed out, and whispered. ''Enevarte.''

Desireé opened her eyes and said. ''Thanks.''

Devlin helped her to get on her legs. He caught her when she stumbled. They locked their gazes. Soon both of them were captivated by the moment. Devlin bent his head a little and captured Desireé's lips. She opened her mouth inviting him inside. They kissed passionately. Desireé buried her fingers in his hair. Devlin hold her around her hips. Too soon the air became necessity and they broke a kiss. Desireé looked at him and blushed deep red. Then they heard someone snickered. They look around and noticed Tom, who was smirking at them.

---

Two weeks passed since the attempted kidnapping and Desireé was still recovering. Some of her memories returned (like memories of Hogwarts, spells, nightly visits of forbidden section of Hogwarts' library, learning dark magic…), others were still lost. She was slowly developing darker side of her soul. She was intrigued by Devlin, or better be said – Dark Lord Grindewald. He was cunning, ruthless and unforgiving with his followers. But he was also caring when it was concerning her. Desireé could still felt his kiss lingering on her lips. She was in the centre of the raging storm of emotions inside her. She didn't quite understood them, but… 'I'll do it.' Decided Desireé and went downstairs to look for Devlin.

Devlin was in his study thinking, how he became more and more attached to the redhead mystery currently residing in his manor. Desireé was such complex person. She seemed to have a darker side which completed his own. After attempted kidnapping of his fiery redhead by his enemies he revealed her what he was – the most feared Dark Lord since Salazar Slytherin. He made himself a new name, which was so feared in wizarding world, that it couldn't be spoken. His name was Grindewald.

Desireé entered the study when Devlin was preparing attacks on few light supporters. When he noticed Desireé's presence his gaze softened. He remembered their kiss after a small battle against her kidnapper, when their adrenaline was still high in their veins. She approached him and unexpectedly kissed him. Immediately all of his thoughts left his mind. He responded to her kiss in heated fashion.

Devlin's mouth started travelling down her throat. When he found a sensitive spot on the side of her neck, he started sucking it gently. Desireé was feeling strong waves of pleasure sweeping through her body, when Devlin started gently nipping her sensitive neck. Desireé moaned and between pants managed to say. ''I'm not made from glass.''

Devlin roughly tossed down with one hand all things from his table on the floor and put his soon-to-be lover on the cold wood. He started licking and biting Desireé's sensitive flesh. She was overwhelmed by the sensations, which were Devlin's work. She groaned and pulled Devlin's mouth in another passionate kiss.

When Devlin collapsed spent on Desireé, she was already out cold on the table after their intense experience. Devlin summoned his wand and with few waves the room was clean again. He took still unconscious Desireé in his arms and carried her to his bedroom.

---

Desireé was nervous. For the first time she goes to the battle with her lover and her friend. Today the Dark Trio makes its first appearance in public. They test the defences of Hogwarts. Dark Trio apparated outside the wards and started chanting old Dark Ritual. Few minutes nothing happened but the barrier appeared between Trio and castle.

Albus Dumbledore – newly appointed Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – noticed that something bad was happening when his pet Phoenix started singing. He looked out window and saw the ward around the school to materialise. ''What cause it?'' asked he. Then his gaze fell on the three figures outside the wards. ''Grindewald.'' Said headmaster in dangerous voice. ''But who are other two?'' pondered quietly.

Meanwhile Dark Trio finished their Ritual. The wards shimmered and reduced. They looked at each other and smiled tiredly. ''It's determined. Here the last battle will take place.'' Said Devlin to his companions. Desireé and Tom nodded and then they charmed the wards to allow them to get through them. When wards accepted new directions they shimmered and disappeared. Dark Trio, satisfied with their work, disapparated. They left a notice written in flames in the air.

Dark Trio chose the place of final battle. Prepare.

Albus was horrified. Dark Trio had the power to weaken wards around the school. He knew that if they manage to break through them the castle would be defenceless. Then he read the notice they left. 'This is only test.' Realized Albus when Dark Trio disapparated. 'The battle will take place soon. Here at Hogwarts.'

---

''Tomorrow the last battle takes place.'' Said Desireé solemnly. ''I fear that something horrible happened.''

Devlin hugged her and whispered in her ear. ''We survive that, Des. You, Tom and me. I'm sure.'' Then he kissed her gently. ''Love you.''

''Love you too.'' Replied Desireé.

Devlin carried Desireé to their bed. Slowly teasingly he put her clothes off on the ground nipping and licking every bit of her uncovered flesh. Desireé was almost driven to the madness by his gentleness.

''My turn.'' Said Desireé devilishly and caressed his cheek. Desireé took him in her mouth, carefully sucking his released his seed in her mouth shouting her name. Desireé swallowed all of Devlin's release and kissed him on the mouth.

The taste of him in Desireé's sweet mouth aroused Devlin once more. Before she could do anything Devlin flipped her on her back and entered her. Desireé cried out in pleasure when she felt him filling her. She groaned. ''More.''

They were so captured in the passion that they didn't noticed strange light around them, which was forming soul-bond between them. Exhausted from their lovemaking both lovers fell in sleep in content.

Too soon the morning came. Both lovers woke up snuggled in each other's arms not wanting to break wonderful moment. But eventually they got out of the bed and put on battle robes. With last kiss they exited the room. Tom was already waiting on them. Together they apparated to the dark troops. Devlin changed in his 'evil' mode – Grindewald – and ordered. ''Apparate to the Hogwarts.''

A loud popping was heard and army disappeared to the appointed place. Devlin turned to Desireé and Tom. ''We will win.''

---

Albus Dumbledore stood on the battlefield facing his former student Devlin Walden and his dark army. It was breaking his old heart to see one of the most promising students turn dark. Beside him stood two figures – one was man and another was woman. Their faces were covered by the hoods, so Albus wasn't so sure. But one thing was clear for him – both of them together with Dev… Grindewald were greatest enemies of light.

Albus turned to Dark Trio and said. ''Grindewald, we meet again.''

''Yes Albus.'' Said Devlin. Then he turned to his commanders and ordered. ''Attack according to plan.'' Both figures nodded and went back to dark troops. Only Albus and Devlin stayed facing each other.

''Attack.'' Commanded feminine voice to the dark army. Soon the fierce battle was raging. Soon many fighters on the both sides were injured or dead. Tom was still fighting, although he had broken left arm, many cuts and bruises. Desireé was cornered by two men. They almost got her but she survived with only few bruises.

Albus and Grindewald were still duelling. Albus had serious-looking burning on his leg and few broken bones. Devlin had few bleeding injuries and broken leg. Flashes of light between two of them caused more and more damage to their opponent. ''Devlin, look out.'' Cried Tom, when he noticed green light of killing curse nearing his friend. But it was too late. Devlin was struck with the curse and fell down on the floor. Dead.

Suddenly redhead woman starting running in the direction of fallen Grindewald. When she reached Devlin she started crying and something whispering to him. Albus saw her trying to wake Devlin up. Then he realized that she was part of Dark Trio.

Devlin didn't move. When she realized that he was dead she screamed. It was scream full of pain of lost love. Then she looked at Albus, he shivered under her hateful gaze. She pulled her wand and declared in dead voice. ''You kill him. I kill YOU.'' She was advancing at Albus, who had his wand still drawn. ''Avada Ked…''

Redhead woman didn't finish deadly curse when she was struck by few curses courtesy of headmaster Dumbledore. Blinding light erupted from her and screaming she disappeared from the sight of both fighting sides. Dumbledore was numbly staring at the place where was unfamiliar redhead woman standing only few seconds earlier.

''She is dead.'' Said someone near Albus. He only nodded. But then he noticed that large part of Grindewald's army retreated. That order could be given only one of the Dark Trio. He realized that one of Trio survived and shiver ran up his spine. He suddenly knew that it wasn't last battle between light and dark.

---

Lily woke up in her compartment. It was empty. She was disorientated. Then she remembered. ''Devlin.'' Uttered and tears fell down her cheeks. Still on the floor of train she hugged her knees and started rocking.

''Lily, where were? Are you all right?'' asked someone's voice.

She looked up to him and asked. ''James?''

James Potter took young redhead in his arms trying to calm her down. And she was only crying and crying for her dead love. It didn't matter that he was Dark Lord Grindewald. She loved him.

---

After the battle Albus wasn't feeling like he had something to celebrate. He killed a man, prized pupil and friend – Devlin. And woman who died in effort to avenge her love. His musings were interrupted by the mediwitch.

''Marigold is dying.'' Whispered mediwitch to the headmaster. He nodded and entered the room where was his wife resting. She opened her formerly bright eyes and said to her husband. ''Forgive me. I had to… Had to fight…'' she coughed a blood and continued. ''I love you.''

Albus came to her, took her hand and with the bittersweet smile said. ''Don't speak Marigold. You have to rest.''

Marigold coughed and smiled hauntingly. ''It's my time Albus. I have to go. I love…'' suddenly Marigold's voice broke, her eyes glazed and she spoke hoarsely.

''In twenty years new darkness will rise.
Snake Lord will call his followers and
Blood will be spilled; Light will lose hope.
But a child born to offspring of lost love and
Dark Falcon will defeat Snake Lord.

Fifteen years child of forbidden love
Will live in slavery,
Ridiculed and used,
But will fight for light and good.

The death of Guardian
Will awake his powerful blood.
Child joins the Snake Lord
And new era of dark will be established.''

With that Marigold Dumbledore breathed out for the last time and died peacefully. Headmaster Dumbledore was startled by the Prophecy his now-dead wife made. He vowed to himself that he don't allow fulfilling the prediction.

He will seek and destroy the child.
