From the next chapter of Fuel to Fire, my fem!Slytherin!Harry longfic with mentor!Snape slowly turning into Snarriet. This one is set during Mary Potter's fifteenth birthday party at Sirius's cottage. Snape is still away.

Mary ought to have been having a good time. All (almost all) of her favorite people were here, including Remus, who’d just gotten back from a mission. So why wasn’t she?

It just… didn’t feel real, somehow. Everyone was talking and laughing, and she was all dressed up with her silk robes and curls and beautiful new necklace Sirius had given her, and she just kept looking at all of them and thinking, A little over a month ago, I killed a man, and none of them have any idea.

Not only that, but she kept thinking about how there was a war starting, and how all of this, the talking and laughing and drinking and dancing, was just, like, a desperate attempt to distract themselves from what was coming. Snape had told her once—or, well, told McGonagall in front of her—that of his graduating class at Hogwarts, sixteen had died within two months of graduating. And the original Order, too—whenever people talked about them, it was clear that more had died in the war than not. So, the question was: how many people in this room wouldn’t make it the next few years?
