Nathara Prince-Slytherin/Synopsis

Backstory
Nathara Azula Prince-Slytherin was born on 16 June 1980, at Slytherin Castle on the Northern coast of Ireland, to Marvolo and Severus Prince-Slytherin (née Snape) at midnight under a full moon. Nathara spent her infancy and childhood in hiding with her parents, with whom she had a very close relationship. From an early age, she was taught to have patience for others (thanks to her mother) and empathy for the less fortunate.

When she was four months and two weeks old, her distant cousin, Harry Potter and his parents were attacked by her second cousin, Adalbert Gaunt AKA Lord Voldemort, that resulted in the death of his parents, James and Liliana Potter (née Selwyn-Evans).

Growing up, Nathara was a close friend of Draco Malfoy, her godbrother and the godson of her mother. All throughout her childhood, Nathara was praised for her manners, compassion, integrity, honesty, and generosity, traits she learned thanks to her parents. Not long after her fourth birthday, Nathara gained a younger sister, Snowbell Lilly Prince-Slytherin, born on 31 December 1984 as a birthday gift for her father.

Hogwarts Years

 * Severus: "Aurora, should anything happen to me, I want you to promise me something."
 * Aurora: "Yes, Professor. What is it?"
 * Severus: "Should anything happen to me, promise me that you'll tell my husband and daughters that I will always love them in life or death, and I'll be waiting for them."
 * — Severus asking Aurora to tell Marvolo, Snowbell, and Nathara that he loves them

First Year

 * Nathara: "Really the Hogwarts Houses mean nothing to me, All it causes is rivalry."
 * Aurora: "So you'd prefer to go to Durmstrang?"
 * Nathara: "No! Durmstrang is for boys, I'd prefer being homeschooled"
 * Aurora: "I wouldn't, Definetly"
 * — Nathara expresses her Opinion on the Hogwarts Houses

Nathara, worried about her parents while she was at Hogwarts, was surprised that this year her mother has been able to secure a job as Potions Master at Hogwarts. Knowing that her parents were there for her, Nathara boarded the Hogwarts express worry-free. While on the Hogwarts Express, she met a girl named Aurora Pikeman, who she quickly struck up a friendship with.

During her sorting, when her name was announced, most of the students were in either awe, shock, or fear that she bore the Slytherin name. It was no surprise that she was sorted into Slytherin, to which her mother beamed at her for, but it was a shock that the Sorting Hat announced her as Slytherin's Princess.

Even though Aurora was sorted into Ravenclaw, it didn't differ their friendship much. When Severus was announcing the house rules, he addressed Nathara as his daughter and stated that even though she was his child, she would be treated like any other student in his house would be. During her first Potions class, her mother caught a redhead girl staring at her and called her out on it.

Eventually Nathara met Skyler Falcon, a Slytherin in the same year as her, with a blood supremacist attitude despite being a half-blood, who was angry that Nathara kept getting paired with somebody who wasn't a Slytherin. During Potions class Nathara's mother easily allowed her and Aurora to be partnered and chat in unnecessary times, Nathara then learned that a Hogwarts Houses mean nothing and that they only created rivalry.

A few days after meeting Skyler, and calling Draco out for calling Hermione a "mudblood", Nathara was caught singing "Colors of the Wind" by some of the prefects, who recorded her and showed it to the other students in their houses. For days, all the students could talk about was how beautiful her singing was. Soon, she heard that the Philosopher's Stone was recovered from the third floor and that Quirinus Quirrell was deceased. She helped Slytherin win the 'Foolish' house cup that year.

Second Year

 * Aurora: "I know you want to learn all sorts of magic by the time you're 20, but give it a rest for a little.."
 * Nathara: "Aurora, you know this is my dream!"
 * Aurora: "I understand completely, but if you keep this up and end up overworking yourself, you'll get sick. Your mother is worried about you.. Please take a break?"
 * Nathara: "Fine...."
 * — Aurora convincing Nathara to take a break from studying

Nathara continued to pursue her ambition of mastering all types of magic by the time she was 20. Although her ambition was so strong, she frequently skipped meals and ignored her friends, who were all worried about the path she was going down. Aurora then, with Severus's pleading, decided to talk to Nathara, and she agreed to tone down the learning. Thanks to this, her relationships with her friends improved. Eventually Aurora offered to teach Nathara some duelling spells using Dueler's Guide: A Textbook of Advanced Spells. What Nathara didn't know is that Skyler developed a crush on her and kept trying to impress her, the same way that James Potter tried to impress Liliana Selwyn-Evans.

Aurora decided she'd teach Nathara all the spells from Pages 1 and 2. Although she purposely skipped Expelliarmus. Occasionally the two would head to the Library and read from dueling books. Aurora particularly was looking for books with interesting names, such as Diagla Duella and Offensive Jinxes and Hexes for Enemies and Pranks. When Professor McGonagall announced Study Clubs they both joined the Dueling Club. The two also brewed Healing Potions in their spare time.

Her mother praised her for her talent in magic and potions and soon, she became the top student in the whole school. Some of the students started joking that she would've made a better Ravenclaw than Slytherin, which prompted Nathara to hex them in Parseltongue. Soon, she developed a reputation in Slytherin House, and became known as the Snake Queen. All of the members of Slytherin started following her orders or requests and soon started calling themselves the Devil's Eye Court. When she wasn't spending time with Aurora, Nathara was found in the company of Skyler.

First Duel
On the 4th of March, Aurora and Nathara faced off in a friendly duel for the first time. Nathara used her own spells against her friends, although halfway through the duel, Aurora cast a powerful hex that knocked Nathara to the ground and blinded her for a few seconds. Although Nathara stayed strong, casting a Banishing Charm that knocked Aurora backwards, although when Aurora was about to cast a Savage Severing Charm, Filch caught the two duelling and sentenced them both to detention. The two didn't mind because they shared a laugh and stated it was so worth it.

Third Year

 * Aurora: "Yeah, I learned it recently. Its really cool"
 * Nathara: "No way! Can I see it now?"
 * Aurora: "We should go to the Courtyard, Everyone is looking at us-"
 * Nathara: "Seems alright. I'm really excited"
 * Aurora: "You should be"
 * — Aurora reveals she is a Animagus

Nathara and Aurora entered Hogsmeade for the first time, amazed at the taste of Butterbeer the two went shopping. Although Nathara realized that Aurora, even though being from an extremely rich pure-blood family was low on money, only having 10 Galleons. She decided to give Aurora 20 more as a small gift, and the two went to Honeydukes and Zonkos, buying their own choices of candy and pranks. During the trip, the girls reunited with Yasuko Rivera, now Yasuko Rivers, her wife, Erica, and their daughter, Lapis Rivers.

Aurora mainly enjoyed this trip. For Christmas, Nathara received a necklace from Aurora which had a golden snake of it. Ashamed she had nothing for Aurora, Nathara slipped a fancy and complex book of spells into Aurora's book bag on Christmas break, something telling her that she'll need it. Aurora discovered it when she and Nathara were studying in the Library for extra credit and that's when Nathara learned that Aurora was an Animagus.

She asked Aurora to transform but Aurora replied that everyone was watching them and that she'd show Nathara in the Courtyard. Eventually Aurora showed her and to Nathara's excitement Skyler found them and Aurora transformed back, Jealous of Aurora's powers a duel started between Aurora and Skyler. Which left Aurora with a Headache and Skyler with a large bruise on her leg. Eventually the two did a bonding ceremony with the help of Neville Longbottom. They became sisters in the heart and soul, healing Aurora's injuries and scars. Although Aurora's sister Evelyn was attending her first year at Hogwarts. The two magical prodigies moved on through their year with many good grades and ending with Slytherin winning the House Cup.

Fourth Year

 * Nathara: "That's it! I've had it with you two! I don't know why you two feel the need to curse and hex each other, but you need to stop. If you don't, I'll hex you with my mom's Langlock jinx. Understand?"
 * Aurora: "But she-!"
 * Skyler: "She was-"
 * Nathara: "I don't care! You both are acting like children! I'm serious about that hex; they don't call me the Slytherin Queen for nothing."


 * — Nathara scolding Aurora and Skyler

Nathara and Aurora's friendship continued- as well as Aurora's rivalry with Skyler. Nathara immediatley threatened the two with the Langlock Jinx when she caught them duelling each other. And since both of them were aware of her reputation in Slytherin House and among the students, they gave in and put their wands away as she glared at them. The next time she caught them fighting again, she hexed them with the Langlock spell and Muffilato spell, silencing their arguements.

Nathara scolded them again and said that she wasn't going to release either of them from the spells until they stopped fighting and acting like children before storming off in a huff, leaving the two girls to stare after her in shock and slight fear; both of them silently agreeing to not get on Nathara's bad side again.

Aurora later wrote a letter with the Langlock jinx still on her and slipped it in Nathara's book bag. Nathara read the letter and released her from both Curses whilst Skyler sent her a love note, immediatley causing her to blush furiously and allowing Nathara to release her from the curses as well. Nathara went to the Yule Ball along with Aurora, being partners with Skyler. For the rest of the year, Nathara continued to watch Aurora and Skyler like a hawk to keep them from fighting. Before leaving for summer break, Skyler surprised Nathara by kissing her on the cheek, leaving her standing with a shocked expression and a blush spreading across her face. Aurora turned to her friend and snickered at her awestruck face.

Fifth Year

 * Aurora: "Narie? Are you feeling okay?"
 * Nathara: "I...feel...dizzzy......"
 * Aurora: "Nara?.."
 * Nathara: "Rorie...I.."
 * Aurora: "NATHARA!"
 * — Aurora concerned about Nathara as she collapses

Nathara returned to Hogwarts with an upbeat attitude, but somewhere in the school year, she started getting weaker. She got dizzy spells, Aurora and Skyler were worried about their friend, and for once, they agreed to keep an eye on her to see if she got worse. One day, Aurora and Nathara were playing a game of Gobstones in the courtyard, when Nathara broke into a coughing fit. Aurora asked if she was alright, and Nathara replied that she felt dizzy. Before Aurora could say anything else, Nathara collapsed and fell unconscious. Aurora screamed and tried to find Severus, interrupting him in the middle of a Potions Class and Severus, worried about his daughter rushed to the scene while Aurora looked for Skyler. When Severus arrived at the courtyard, Nathara was lying on the ground unconscious with rosy cheeks. He tried to wake her up, and her hair turned as white as the full moon. She looked up at her mother with blue and brown eyes before falling unconscious again. Aurora immediatley got the attention of Skyler by lying that Nathara was on 'The Brink of Death' without response the two sprinted to the courtyard. It turned out that Aurora wasn't exactly wrong according to Severus, who was holding his unconscious daughter in a death grip. Skyler froze in shock at seeing the state Nathara was in and asked Severus if she was alright.

The young mother couldn't answer her; he picked Nathara up and carried her to the Hospital Wing. He cast a diagnostic spell on her and his heart dropped at what was on the parchment: Aditus Mors, the most deadly illness in history. There was only one cure, and it was a potion. Eventually Aurora decided to preform one of the most complex healing spells in her book that Nathara had given her, awaking Nathara for about an hour before she fell unconscious again. After a few hours of crying over Nathara's cold and clammy body, Skyler came to the hospital wing she told Aurora her idea of creating an extremely complex potion. Although Aurora, Who told her it was dangerous, told her crush Neville Longbottom about this. Neville gathered ingredients from the Herbology Greenhouses while Aurora and Skyler began creating their potion. Aurora was very adept on this Potion making sure that everything was at the right scale, although Neville had accidentally brought Sugar Shrub leaves instead of Gurdyroot Stems, which the two did not realize. Eventually Aurora came to the thought of the dreaded Professor Umbridge and believed that Nathara was actually lucky.

Occasionally Aurora used the Cantatio medicus scriptor spell to keep Nathara up on the latest news. Since they couldn't cure her at the moment, Aurora decided that Nathara should be as comfortable as possible. Aurora kept visiting Nathara in the Hospital Wing; the poor girl was still unconscious and showed little to no signs of waking up. When she used the spell to tell Nathara about Umbridge, Nathara stared crying blood and broke into a coughing fit. Aurora immediately went to find Severus, who arrived with Marvolo hot on his heels. When they returned, Nathara's already pale skin had taken a greyish tinge, like a ghost, and blood started dribbling down her left cheek in a thin stream. Aurora looked for more Complex Healing spells due to the failure of her Cantatio Medicus Scriptor, she decided to use the Absorbing Charm to stop the unknown source of blood.

The blood soon stopped and Aurora decided to check on Skyler to see if the potion was working. In which it did, but then they realized that Neville grabbed a wrong ingredient. Because of this, they had to recreate the potion again. When they went to the Hospital Wing to check on Nathara, they saw her coughing violently with blood dribbling down her chin and blood stains on her blanket, hands, and the floor near her bed. Then, bloody tears started falling from her eyes as she gasped and wheezed in pain. Aurora, thinking quickly used her two healing spells and gave her the newly re-brewed potion. Nathara quickly drank it and her hair turned to its regular color, Although a few hours later Nathara vomited from side effects. A few days later, Aurora, Skyler, Severus, and Marvolo stood around Nathara's bed and watched as she regained consciousness. They smiled and watched as her eyes faded from brown and blue to her normal emerald green. She sat up in her bed and yawned before her eyes settled on her mom. The group of five immediately hugged with Severus thanking Skyler and Aurora for saving his daughter's life. When everyone else had left, Skyler remained behind, and Nathara thanked her by kissing her on the lips, something that shocked Skyler to her core and left her blushing like a tomato.

Sixth Year

 * Skyler: "I've been wanting to tell you this for a while, Nara."
 * Nathara: "What is it, Sky? You know you can tell me anything"
 * Skyler: "It's just, I like you. And as more than a friend."
 * Nathara: "Sky...Are you saying that you-"
 * Skyler: "Yes. I love you Nathara Prince-Slytherin."
 * — Skyler confessing her love to Nathara

Nathara and her friends took in studying full-time, as for it only being 4 more years until Nathara was 20. Every week, Nathara would duel against Aurora and Skyler, an event more than half of Hogwarts would watch. She was clearly her mother's daughter, as she inherited his talent for dueling. Right before leaving for Christmas, Skyler gave Nathara a special gift that consisted of a protective necklace with a moonstone gem. While on the Hogwarts express, Aurora teased Nathara for her obvious crush on Skyler; to which Nara denied while blushing furiously. For months, all Nathara could think about was Skyler, and wondered how she felt about her. Over the previous summer, Nathara received a letter that said she had been chosen as a prefect, much to her joy.

After coming back from Christmas break, it was obvious that almost all the boys in Hogwarts, and some of the girls, were trying to ask Nathara out or get her to like them. It was clear to everyone in school that Nathara has always been beautiful in looks and personality, but now that she was sixteen, Nathara was like a golden swan; elegant, and graceful. She declined each and every one of their advances, as she only had one person on her mind, and she wasn't sure if the feelings were mutual. She had started to fall for Skyler during her third year, but still disapproved of her bullying tendencies and blood-supremacist attitude.

Some of the students, specifically Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, and Micheal Corner were only chasing after her for her looks and not for who she was.

On Valentines day, Skyler took Nathara to the Black Lake and gave her a moonstone headband before confessing that she loved her. Nathara teared up and returned the sentiments before the two shared their first kiss as the sun set behind them. Aurora, Raine, Severus, Snowbell, and the other Slytherins watched from afar and shared a look that said, 'Mission accomplished', with Draco taking a picture with the camera he brought. Aurora eventually consulted Nathara about the kiss, Nathara, preferring not to talk about it continued to study, although there was a crimson tinge to her cheeks. Aurora, somewhat annoyed, brought out a book and studied with her.

A few weeks later, Skyler walked up to Nathara during lunch and the whole hall went silent. She handed Nathara a bouquet of lilies, making the girl blush. Skyler then proceeded to ask Nathara out on a date to Hogsmeade, to which Nathara happily accepted. The date went better than either of them could have either imagined and ended with Skyler asking Nathara to be her girlfriend. Nathara answered by kissing Skyler square on the lips.

A month later, Nathara and her friends entered the Potions classroom, only to find Prof. McGonagall standing there instead of Severus. When Nathara asked where her mother was, Minerva sadly replied that Severus has disappeared, and no one knows where he is. Nathara, shocked and dismayed by the news, started crying in Skyler's arms, and by the time she got back to her dorm room, there was a note on her bed. It was from Severus! It read: "Dear Nathara, by the time you read this note, I will be long gone. I'm sorry that I had to leave you, sweetheart, but this is for the best and to make sure that the plan your father and I created would work. I can't tell you all the details but I will say this: I love you and your sister so much, and I'll be back when Voldemort attacks. Until then, stay safe and take care of your sister. Love, Mummy,". Nathara clutched the note close to her and sobbed until she fell into a dreamless sleep, with the last thing she hears being her mother singing their lullaby.

Seventh Year

 * Aurora: "Nara..? Narie? NATHARA!! Harry, where is Nathara?!"
 * Harry: "I don't know"
 * Aurora: "I need to find her! Tell me where she is!"
 * Harry: "I already said I don't know where she is!"
 * — Aurora asking where Nathara is

Nathara and Aurora were allowed to stay at Hogwarts due to their pure-blood heritage, despite Nathara being the daughter of two half-bloods, although their treatment there was near-terrible. Nathara was sentenced to the Cruciatus Curse 4 times and was only able to escape two times. In which she was warned that if she broke the rules one more time she would be killed, Aurora, though, told her to simply act if she trusted them or if she was allies with them. Nathara did this, although she thought it was miserable. On May 2nd, her mother returned, but was surrounded by Dementors before Nathara could reach him. Nathara and Aurora both cast powerful Patronus Charms to ward them away, the Death Eaters who were standing as Professors were shocked that some defense like that could fall.

Once the Dementors were gone, Nathara ran into her mom's arms and embraced him tightly. In the nick of time, though, Aurora told the two to flee to Ravenclaw Tower and that the password was Blood Purity. The two arrived safely when Aurora opened the door and told them that You-Know-Who was raiding Hogwarts. A few hours later, Aurora found Nathara dueling on the grounds with a another wizard. Aurora suddenly dived in front of her and cast the Cruciatus Curse at her opponent. Nathara, shocked that Aurora cast an Unforgivable Curse and had saved her, thanked her. Although when Fiendfyre broke out in the Room of Requirement, Nathara was nearly incinerated if she hadn't apparated at the last second. Nathara returned to Hogwarts later in the Battle, but the exhaustion of using so much magic finally caught up to her. But, she was determined to save her friends and her family.

Seeing her baby sister about to be cursed, Nathara used almost half of her remaining magic to cast a powerful protection spell over everyone on their side of the war, including the spies in Voldemort's inner circle. Nathara was eventually found by Aurora in the ruins of the Great Hall, where she proceeded to finally collapse in her godcousin's arms, a tired but relieved smile plastered on her face. She woke up a few days after the final battle to see her friends and family asleep in some chairs and nearby cots. Her little sister, Snowbell, was curled up on her chest, while holding her in a death grip. She stroked the child's hair and it caused her to stir.

Eighth Year

 * Skyler: "Nathara, there's something I've been meaning to ask you."
 * Nathara: "What is it, Skyler?"
 * Skyler: "Well, I know we haven't been together for very long, but I want to make this a bit more permanent."
 * Nathara: "Are you saying..?"
 * Skyler: "Will you marry me, Nathara Prince-Slytherin?"
 * — Skyler proposing to Nathara

After the defeat of Albus Dumbledore and Voldemort, with the title of Headmaster being passed to her mother, Nathara and her yearmates decided to retake their last year of school. Over the course of the school year, many things took place: Nathara was made Head Girl, Aurora and Neville started dating, Snowbell fell in love, and the school flourished under Severus's control. Salazar Slytherin's name was cleared and with that, Nathara and her family's name was cleared as well. Severus claimed the titles of Lord Ravenclaw, Pendragon, Emyrs, and Prince, while Marvolo claimed the titles of Lord Peverell, and Slytherin, with the two of them naming Nathara as their heir. Nathara and Skyler continued to date, but on Nathara's birthday, Skyler proposed to her. Nathara accepted tearfully, and when they went to tell Aurora, the whole school burst into cheers.

Nathara and Aurora couldn't have been happier, especially since Severus and Marvolo cleared her parents' names and cleared them of all charges. For this, Aurora and Evelyn were eternally grateful to Severus and Marvolo, and after they threw her aunt in prison on charges of child abuse and neglect, Aurora was so relieved that she asked Nathara to be the godmother of her first child. Nathara accepted, and asked Aurora to be the godmother to her first child as well.

Then, Nathara and Aurora hugged while saying, "Best friends today, tomorrow, and always!". A magical glow surrounded the sisters in all but blood, Lady Magic accepting the vow and promise made to each other. And, she would make sure that the promise continued long after they were gone.

On 31 July, 1999, Skyler and Nathara were married in Godric's Hollow in front of the Potter Memorial. They chose the Potter Memorial as their wedding destination as a thank-you to Harry Potter and his contribution to defeat Voldemort. During the wedding reception, Nathara revealed to Harry that they were distant cousins, and that regardless of what he thought, he would always be family. Aurora congratulated Skyler and Nathara, and the rivalry between the formers was finally put to rest. Nathara then made the announcement that she was two months pregnant with her's and Skyler's first baby.

 * Nathara: "Aurora Star Pikeman, I have something to ask you"
 * Aurora Pikeman: "What is it, Narie?"
 * Nathara: "Upholding the promise we made in school, I'm asking you to meet your goddaughter, Kiara Ellison Prince-Slytherin. Promise you'll love and protect her as if she was your own."

Her parents, sister, Aurora and Neville, parents-in-law and sister-in-law were the only ones in attendance. Upholding the promise she and Aurora made in their last year of school, Nathara chose Aurora as Kiara's godmother.

Calamity
Ursa Prince-Slytherin: "Mummy, please can I go with Kira, Andro, and 'Rone on the train!"

Nathara: "You're not old enough, sweetheart. One more year is not that long of a wait. You'll be going soon, I promise."

On 1 September, Ursa's impatience about starting Hogwarts. ln, 2017 Skyler and Nathara took their three children to King's Cross Station to see Kiara, Andros, and Karone off to Hogwarts. With them was their fourth child, Ursa Prince-Slytherin, who was upset that she had to wait a year before starting school. There, they met Aurora and Neville with their son and daughter, Owen and Sierra, Raine and Evelyn with their daughter, Aries, Nora, and Luna, and Harry and Ginny with their children, James, Severus, Skyler, and Skye. Ron and Hermione were also there with their two children, Harry's niece Rose and nephew Hugo. Along with them, were Draco and Everest with their daughter Corona, the former with a pregnant stomach. The relationship between Aurora and Skyler was better still than it was when they were students, but they weren't friends. Harry and Nathara established a brother and sister relationship, and asked her to be Skye's godmother.

Severus and Marvolo were also there to see Snowbell and Nathara's younger sisters, Kya and Aisha Prince-Slytherin, off to Hogwarts as well, along with their brother, Alan Prince-Slytherin.
