Destiny

The Day that the Potters were murdered began the destruction for a little girl who was yet to even be born. A girl that, for the light side, could be the difference between victory and defeat. This is the story of Destiny Black.

CHAPTER 1

THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK

CRASH!

'Oh, please don't let it already be morning,' Destiny thought as she rolled over and shoved her face into her pillow.

"Destiny! Get down here right now! You're in huge trouble missy!" Julia Snow screamed at her daughter.

Groaning, Destiny rolled out of bed and trudged over to her dresser to grab a hair scrunchie. Looking in the mirror, Destiny groaned again. 'Geez, I look like road kill,' she thought. "No scratch that," Destiny muttered. "I look like road kill that someone ran over, backed up over, a dog pissed on, a lawnmower-"

"You know, if you keep talking to yourself like that, people are going to start to wonder about you," a voice said in a laughing tone.

"Oh, shut-up you," Destiny said moodily.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help you out here. Besides you look great even if you refuse to admit it."

And it was true. Even after sleeping, Destiny could still be considered beautiful. She had thick, curly black hair that went half way down her back. Large ice-blue eyes that, unless you knew her, were considered uncaring. She was petite at 5'1" and model thin.

Of course, all Destiny could see, looking in the mirror, was a mess of tangled curls, eyes that everyone considered creepy, and a body that was to skinny and short to ever reach anything.

"If you say so," Destiny said with a yawn.

Turning to go downstairs, Destiny said hesitantly, "You will come and keep me company at school this year won't you? You know how much I hate having to switch schools every year. This time will be even worse too because it's a different country."

"Of course I will," the voice said. "You're the only one who can see me. Besides, with you at Hogwarts, I'll be able to terrorize the teachers again!"

Snorting with laughter, Destiny went downstairs. Jumping over a box that had yet to be unpacked, Destiny ran into the kitchen.

"Morning Mom! Isn't it a gorgeous day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the-"

Destiny faltered seeing the look of furry on her mother's face.

"What? What'd I do? I was asleep!"

"I told you," Julia said quietly. "I told you to stop using those freak powers of yours! You're fifteen years old and you're been expelled from four schools! If you get expelled from Hogwarts then you won't be accepted to any more schools! You're lucky your name hasn't been plastered all over the news! If the papers got hold of the fact that you're a Necromancer, your life would be over! People would run away in fear of you! You know that people never accept someone who's different!"

'Of course I know,' Destiny thought bitterly. Boy did she know. She had always been different. Most of the time, people said how they wished they were different than others. Destiny had learned, very young, that being different was horrible.

From the time she had learned to talk, she had been seen talking to people who weren't there. Julia Snow had just assumed her daughter had an imaginary friend...

*PAST*

1985

Julia Snow was twenty-five and already she was becoming bitter and slightly mean.

'I have every right to be bitter!' Julia thought angrily. 'My Fiancé caused my two best friends to be murdered and left me pregnant with his kid! He should have been here to help take care of her!'

Julia instantly regretted her line of thought. She knew it wasn't baby Des's fault. She couldn't help who her father was. She also had no control over the fact that she looked like her father.

Walking into the living room where Destiny was playing, she stopped to watch her play.

Julia was a little amused to find her daughter talking to herself. She walked over and knelt by the little girl.

"What are you doing, Baby?" Julia asked.

"Playing Barbie's," Destiny said with a giggle.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Lily," Destiny replied simply.

"Really. How do you know Lily?" Julia asked feeling a pain in her heart for her lost friend.

"She says that since she's dead, only I can see her. James says that too but he's not here. He's with Harry."

Not knowing what to say- and hoping that she had heard of Lily and James from the magical daycare- she just smiled and walked away thinking, 'Please don't let her be this centuries Necromancer. There has to be a different solution!'

Unfortunately, as time passed, the list of names of the dead grew that Destiny Black knew. Julia had given her daughter her fathers' name in order to honor the innocent boy she had fallen in love with. The boy that hadn't been corrupted by the Dark Lord. It seemed that having given her Sirius Blacks' name had indeed been appropriate. It also seemed that the ability for the dark arts also ran in the family.

By the time Destiny had turned six, it was confirmed that she was indeed a Necromancer.

It didn't seem right to Julia that her sweet, friendly daughter could be something so evil as a Necromancer.

Even at the age of five, Destiny had started showing signs of advanced necromancy. She liked to spend time near cemeteries, talked to people that no one else could see, and started being able to make the dead visible to the living.

The day that Julia first found out about it was the day that Destiny was practicing on Lily Potter.

Destiny had been in the back yard playing while her mother was putting away groceries and making dinner. Julia opened the door and headed to the bush her daughter was playing behind.

"Can you pick that up?" Destiny asked amazed.

"Yes! Look, Des! I'm solid! You did it! That's amazing!" a familiar voice shrieked.

Curious, Julia walked around the bush to see who was playing with her daughter. Seeing who was sitting next to her daughter, Julia let out a piercing scream.

Startled, Lily stood up and vanished.

"Mommy, What's wrong? It's only Lily," Destiny asked innocently.

Having just had her worst fears confirmed, Julia decides to start teaching her daughter to never let others know about her powers. Unfortunately for Julia, Destiny could see no wrong in her powers and used them as often as possible. Fortunately for the world, Destiny learned that her mothers' concern was only for herself, never for her. She started to only listen to the commands of James and Lily Potter- Two souls who wanted nothing more than for the dark side to be destroyed.
