September 1st, 1976. The scarlet of the Hogwarts Express is the same colour as Lily Evans' hair as she boards for her sixth year of Hogwarts. Elsewhere in the castle, a Slytherin clad in green, silver and shadows plots to give Lord Voldemort the upper hand in the war. Lives clash, and Lily finds her best friend caught in the crossfire.

Its fifth year,and Harry Potter is in for the worst school year of his life. The Headmasters ignoring him,Snape's worse than ever,and Kermits teaching Defense. Maybe a friendship of some sorts with an arrogant but level-headed slytherin girl will help. But Harry still feels like Fate's Plaything. Contains:Dumbles and Weasley Bashing.Heir!Grey!Independant!Harry. Rated T for safety.
