Chapter 1: Jewel's
Chapter Text
The noble and ancient House of Lapis has been the subject of gossip at court for as long as any pureblood can remember.
The Lapis family was so secretive and unsociable that even the Poverells were considered more open than them! And trust me, the Poverells themselves were not social people at all.
The Lapis family was known for a few oddities, one being that they had a record of family gifts in every possible field, whether it was Parselmouth, Transfiguration, or Divination, in each field there was someone in the family who had already had the gift.
They also had very special eyes, and when a new child was born into the family, it was family tradition to name the child after a gem that matched the color of their eyes. Another relatively well-known fact was that they did not attend Hogwarts, the family was quite large, and any field of study the children needed was taught by other family members. However, the Second Wizarding War did not leave this family unscathed, as did many other families, and many adults perished.
The only ones left of the family were the matriarch, Lady Amethyst; a young and capable woman with deep purple eyes; her younger sister Lazuli, a child who, although no one knew it, was born at the same time as the savior of the wizarding world; and two young cousins, Alexandrite and Aquamarine.
However, things will soon change. They will not remain weak forever. The Lapis family will return to the top of the wizarding world, and the young heir to the House of Lapis, Lapis Lazuli, will remove the hands of a meddling old man from the life of the Potter heir.
It remains to be seen what will happen in the future for Lapis Lazuli and her friends.

Chapter Text
As far as Lapis could remember, fate had always been a fickle thing, for example, the fate of a leaf could twist in a thousand different ways the moment it fell. The leaf might be carried by the wind before it fell and go to a thousand places, a herbivorous animal might pick it up and eat it for breakfast, or the leaf might fall on the head of a young lady passing by and a handsome young man might pick it up and they might become friends and even get married one day. Dramatic, yes, but Lapis preferred to describe the mysterious twists of fate in whatever way was easiest for her young mind, thank you very much!!
Lapis had always seen them, thin, delicate lines that wrapped around people like spiderwebs. At first she didn't know what they were, and when she realized no one but her could see them, she stopped talking about them to others so as not to seem strange, but as she grew older and her sister talked to her about the history of family gifts, she realized that she could see glimpses of multiple possible futures for a person by touching them, and eventually she called them the threads of fate and her own ability to be the weaver of the future.
She wasn't a seer or a prophet, certainly; she had the gift of seeing the future, but not in the way other seers did; she had seen them; her great-aunt Sphene had been a well-known seer in Britain before she died of dragonpox when Lapis was eight, and Lapis had seen her prophesy several times.
What he remembered of her was beautiful, Aunt Sphene would start to sing, and the lines of poetry as they passed from her mouth showed those around her moments of the future, she would sing of war and orphans, she would sing of the inevitable victory of a little boy and the suffering of a betrayed godfather, she had sung her last poem on her deathbed; she had sung of a future destroyed at the hands of a delusional, sick, Muggle-worshiping old man, and of wizards who had no way of escaping the Muggle chemical weapons...
The thought sickened and worried Lapis, realizing that even magic was useless against so many things, the revelation was unsettling to say the least. Lapis had vowed to herself at the time to do as much as she could to change this fate, and wasn't this the best place for her ability to shine? She couldn't see the future completely, she saw possibilities, and there was no guarantee that anyone would act in a way that would lead to the best outcome in the future. So this was what Lapis had to do, she had to dip her hands into the threads and weave them as she saw fit.
It would require a level of cunning and silver tongue that he didn't have, but it would get there. Sure.
Anything for the future of the wizarding world.
Notes:
I didn't want to create an OP character who can do anything, that would be boring, Lapis will definitely be a child who understands beyond her years, but that's about it. She can't see her own future, but she will be selfish for those around her and try to control them.
I know Lapis may not seem any better than Dumbledore in this situation, but please consider that she is a child and children can have strange ways of thinking, she will change for the better in the future, but this will probably always be a part of her to guide others with words and actions to where she thinks is best for them. She sees thousands of possible futures and assumes based on their interests which future they would like the most, so she helps people achieve it.
Lapis has a rather mysterious and closed personality, but she is extremely stubborn and will never back down from what she wants. She holds her few close friends dear and anyone who hurts them must sleep with one eye open from then on. She also considers knowledge very important and uses it to become stronger and achieve her goals. So, according to these definitions, which Hogwarts group category do you think she falls into?
We will see Harry in the next chapter. Don't worry!
