Casanova {Marauders Era} [Completed]

Razzamataz

Sleeping that night was terrible from minute one.

Images kept flashing through my brain. The first was a little boy, possibly one year old, crying. He had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. To my utter horror, older versions of my best friends lying on the ground, dead. I tried to scream, but no sound came out. Unwillingly, I walked to the door. At the stairs, James Potter lay there, just as Lily and Jinxy. I continued down the stairs. Another man came in. His hair slick and black, his eyes cold, yet afraid. I soon recognized him as Severus. I left the house, but the outside wasn't a street. The outside was an alley way. Two figures stood before me. Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. I gasped (well, I tried to at least). They were fighting. 10 Muggles stood nearby. Peter killed the muggles, cut off his finger, and transformed into a rat. Soon enough, Siruis was taken away. I walked on. I was at another house. Another boy, the same age as the last, was screaming and crying.

"Neville! No!" A familiar voice screamed. Alice. I continued out of the nursery, leaving the crying baby. In the living room of this house, hooded figures were dragging two screaming people away. One was Alice. The other one was my brother. I wanted to scream for him, I wanted to attack the hooded figures, but I still couldn't move on my own will. I followed hooded things, until I arrived at a mansion of some sort. I stayed outside as the people dragged my brother and Alice inside (whom I guessed was his wife). Though being outside, I could still hear their screams of pain. I would occasionally hear 'Neville', but I also heard 'Serana,' which broke my heart. I closed my eyes, but when I reopened them, I was in a whole new house and I couldn't help but think 'another house?! Seriously?'. But it was quiet in this house, except for the sound of a rocking chair, some small baby sounds, a crying. Not a baby crying, but an adult crying. My feet lead me towards the sounds. I wound up in another nursery, but it was dark. The moonlight seeping through the window was the only source of light. A slight and rhythmic movement fought my eye. In the corner of the room was the outline of a woman rocking in a chair. In her arms as a very small bundle. I could hear her crying. The baby was making baby sounds, as most babies do. Every so often the woman would mutter words like 'Why?' Or 'Why them?'. I could feel the tears prick into my eyes. I may not have known this woman, but her pain seemed to connect to me. The woman started to sing.

"She said we gotta hold on to what we got. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. We've got each other, and that's a lot. For love-we'll give it a shot. Oh, we're half way there, oh, living on a prayer. Take my hand and we'll make it I swear, oh, living on a prayer," she sang quietly to her child. The child went quiet.

"I love you Lily. Daddy loves you too. Just remember that," the mother whispered into her baby's ear. She went over to the crib and set Lily down. She looked up, straight at me. I gasped. The woman's eyes, hair, and face were so familiar. Her voice was familiar. Because she was me.

I bolted straight up. No. That wasn't me. That couldn't have been me! I was sweating heavily. I touched my cheeks. And crying. I shook my head. A slight peep of light shown through the window. It was probably a little after six. I www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=10256... change into my usual outfit, grab my school bags, and head down to the Great Hall. I left my friends in bed, knowing that Lily is usually very grumpy in the morning and I guessed Jinxy was too.

"Hey Rani," Sev sighed, walking up to me.

"Hey Sev. How are you?" I asked him, a small smile creeping up my lips. He grunted.

"That good, aye?" I chuckled. He nodded and laughed a little as well. Sev had always had this major crush on Lily, and I really wanted to tell her, but I couldn't betray Sev like that. We walked silently to the Great Hall. That morning, I decided to sit at the Slytherin table with him, until Lily and Jinxy came. We sat down and ate.
