The Plot
Everybody knows the history of Lily Potter. The sweet red headed Gryffindor who perished in Godric's Hallow on October 31, 1981 along with her husband James and her son Harry. The young woman who was cut down in her prime while trying to save her son is a story that everybody knows by heart and it has served to turn Lily Potter into a martyr and a saint that every witch with children strives to be like. Poor innocent Lily Potter. Pure, sweet and undeserving of the fate of death. Right?
RIGHT! That's exactly what Lily felt too and it's why Lily handed the wriggling one year old baby over to the Dark Lord after he'd mercilessly killed her husband. What nobody in the order seemed to realize was that Lily had never loved the man that she had married. James Potter was an egotistical prat who enjoyed picking on others and who was encouraged by not only his friends but by the rest of the school. Lily's heart had always and will always belong to the man who had befriended her before she arrived at Hogwarts. Who would have guessed that the dark haired, pale faced youth who had explained the magical world to Lily would one day claim the Gryffindor's heart.
Severus had been Lily's best friend at Hogwarts from day one and although they'd had their differences (one memorable encounter out on the lawns where Severus called Lily a mudblood comes to mind). Lily and Severus were closer then people would have ever guessed. Their late night meetings were made easier when Lily became Head Girl but when Lily told Severus about James asking her out for the hundredth time the Slytherin had encouraged her to date him. Severus had already been recruited into the Death Eaters and he knew that James as well as his friends would join the Order. Severus convinced her that by dating him she could gather information on the order for him and he in turn could present it to the Dark Lord.
Although Lily wasn't a big fan of the Dark Lord's she loved Severus more then she thought was possible and she agreed even going so far as to marry James soon after they graduated. When the prophecy about her son was given to Lily she let Severus know and he in turn gave it to the Dark Lord. Lily had no feelings for her husband or his child since in her eyes Harry would grow up to be just like his father. When a secret keeper was discussed it was Lily who had suggested Peter. She pointed out how the Dark Lord would never suspect him then Lily let Severus know that Peter would be the one to go after.
When the Dark Lord arrived at her home Lily stood back and watched as he murdered her husband then as Severus stepped into the room Lily handed her child over to the Dark Lord and she ran to embrace the man she'd been secretly having an affair with since long before she'd married. With her husband and her son dead the Dark Lord agreed to conceal Lily's identity but first they had to find a third body. Lily and Severus quickly retrieved a muggle woman who had been walking in a nearby town that they apparated to. After forcing her to drink some polyjuice potion the Dark Lord killed her and the three apparated away.
With the Dark Lord's help along with Severus' Lily was completely made over so nobody would recognize her. The Dark Lord gave her a fake identity and from that day on Lily Evans Potter became Kiira Lahti. A pure-blooded witch from Finland who had never attended any school because her parents had opted to have her home schooled. Kiira was a master of the Dark Arts which Lily had been studying with Severus and she quickly rose through the ranks of the Dark Lord's followers.
Kiira also had a "whirlwind" courtship with Severus Snape and not even three months after being introduced to the Death Eater's Kiira Lahti became Kiira Snape. Soon after she and her husband were blessed with a son (Kristoffer Roderick Snape) and a few years after he was born Kiira and Severus were blessed with a daughter (Oriana Kathleen Snape).
When Hogwarts fell and Dumbledore was killed by her husbands hand Kiira rejoiced with the rest of the Death Eaters but when the Dark Lord offered her the position of Headmistress she was ecstatic.
Kiira has turned Hogwarts into the complete opposite of what it was when Dumbledore was it's headmaster. She's brought physical torture back and it's not uncommon to hear of students being chained in the dungeons or of them being whipped for incomplete assignments. Kiira has decided that the only way for children to learn their lesson is for them to be physically punished and put in their place. Even Kiira's own children aren't spared the pain since she believes in the saying "Spare the rod and spoil the child". However if a professor is going to raise their hand to the children of the school's headmistress they had better have a VERY good reason.
Unknown to the school's headmistress though, and unknown to the Dark Lord or his Death Eaters......a small resistance is about to rise. The Order was not completely eliminated like they'd thought and the Order wants to take the school back. The Order does not want to live in fear anymore.
Will you join the Order and try to bring the wizarding world back to normal or will you be part of the Dark Lord's supporters and help keep the wizarding world in this eternal darkness? Pick your side then come and join us for all the fun that is Hogwarts Darkest Hour.
