Where is she?

Saturday 9th August 1995

Grimmauld Place, Somewhere in East London- 2:00am

The air was stale, dead and the darkness seemed to pool in from the very walls itself. The room smelled of damp, the wallpaper which wasn't hanging off had been destroyed through years of neglect, giving the place a sense of despair and desolation. The decaying room buzzed with ancient, cold, lingering magic, causing small tingles and small goose bumps to spread across the just turned 15 year olds skin.

This said 15 year old had been happily submerged in the land of dreams, broomsticks and girls galore, but less than 2 minutes ago had been brought back to the cold reality by a couple of raised voices and heavy footsteps stamping quite fast by the lads bedroom door.

Tension and unease filled his body; bringing with it a sense of restlessness. He knew no matter how much he tried, he wouldn't be able to fall back to his favourite fantasy; so he did the one thing he was good at, followed the voices and footsteps.

Opening the door without waking his roommate was easier than he thought possible but closing it was another matter; the door seemed to have a mind of its own and tried to slam itself shut, he was sure it did it on purpose just to spite him. Knowing this house and who used to own it then that could have been a huge possibility. Mentally shaking himself out of fantasies of what he would love to do to the demon door; he noticed his Godfathers light on in his room and the bedroom door wide open. Making sure he never made any noise he slowly moved to stand just outside said room, his back against the wall so the occupants couldn't spot him from inside and listened to the one conversation that would change his life and destiny.

"Sirius please calm down! At this moment they is nothing we can do and getting yourself into this rage is the least productive response you can make! Remember the consequences from last time?" Lupin's calm but rational voice floated through the open door to him but even he heard underneath all that was a slow burning rage which threatened to come roaring out soon.

"Don't you dare Moony! If you think for one second i would ever forget what i had done then you're... Dumbledore! This is all Dumbledore's fault! If i ever find out he had his crocked nose in this i will make the dementors little kissy seem like a walk in the fucking park!" Sirius sounded angrier than he had ever heard him, including the time in the shrieking shack. He could hear a rustling coming from just behind the piece of wall he was hiding behind and realised Sirius was shaking that much.

"Sirius! We have no idea he was even involved and to be fair we don't even know if it was her! Merlin i would do anything just to know it WAS her but we just don't know!" Lupin's voice cracked at the end and trailed off. Whoever this her was seemed to have a very special place in each of the last true Marauders hearts.

"It WAS her Moony, i just know it! And i know that, that old codger had something to do with this. No listen to me Moony, Harry was taken from the house on Dumbledore's orders, who's to say she wasn't either? I was the first one there and she was THERE! She was next to him Moony just laid there but she WAS there! Where did..." Sirius's insane speech was cut off by a small Crack!

"Wotcha guys!"

"Dora please tell us what you found out, what does Kingsley say?" Remus by this point sounded on the verge of desperation and silent tears hitched his voice.

"WAIT! What about Harry? He needs to be told, no Moony he needs to be told the truth! I couldn't give a flying hippogriff what the old codger thinks, Harry will be devastated when he finds out never mind that all this has been kept from him again. He's not that small little boy we thought he would be Moony, he's been through more stuff than any wizard or witch could handle. He can and will be able to handle this, i just know it. I'm going to go get him now before he hears something from the others; we are the ones who he should hear it from. We at least can tell him everything we know." The door started creeping open until it was as wide as it could be when the 15 year old was flooded by the light.

"Should have known; How much did you hear Harry?" An exasperated were-wolf asked already knowing the answer.

"Who is she and what do i need telling?" a sudden feeling flashed through him, something told him that once he heard what his torn family had to say then nothing would be the same again. Looking around at the others he knew that whatever heartbreak they were sharing he would soon be joining them. He just hoped that he was as strong as Sirius thought he was and could handle it.

"Well pup i...i really don't know how to say this and explain everything. Ok I'll start from the beginning, best way. In fact pup come and sit down next to me, it's a long story and you'll need the rest believe me, maybe a couple of Firewhiskey's" "SIRIUS!" "Ok, ok I'll start and no Firewhiskey. Ok so you know that Prongs and Lily got together in their 7th year right? No? Ok you didn't, well they did and up until that point your mum sort of didn't really like James that much, he was a bit of a, how can i say this? Ok he had the ego the size of the Quidditch pitch until he became Head boy. After that he mellowed out and for reason your mum fell madly in love with the git. Did you know they got married a month after leaving school?"

"Really? Isn't that a bit young?" Harry was stumped already; his mum didn't like his dad? And his dad had the head the size of Malfoy's? This didn't sound like the parents he had been told about, what else hadn't he been told?

"Well yeah pup it was but you've got to remember, we was in the middle of the war and no one knew if they was gonna be around the next day so a lot of people married young. That wasn't the only reason they married young though. Sometime during Christmas your mum and dad, erm, well, they consummated their relationship if you know what i mean. Then 6 weeks later your mum was in a bit of a panic, remember what she did Moony?"

Remus at this point had tears falling down his cheeks but they weren't from being upset anymore, these were from him trying to hold in his laugh. Giving up he burst out laughing and let the past take over for a few moments, "Do i remember? Merlin, I've never laughed so much in my life! James, Sirius and i were sitting in front of the fire as it was after curfew, when your mum came charging down the girls dorm steps flapping her arms and wand around. The second she set eyes on your dad i swear you could see her swell with anger. Without even opening her mouth a series of spells rained down on him, of course we did the one thing any mate would do for a friend who was in trouble with their girlfriend, we hid behind the chairs. Your mum was scary when she was angry! Well this went on for about half an hour before she stopped and bursts into tears, turns out she could be very creative with spells as your father found out" by this point Harry and Tonks were unable to breathe due to their laughter of the image they pictured. Sirius had a sad but fond smile while his tears for his lost friends cascaded down his pale face. A few moments later Sirius took charge of the conversation.

"Turned out pup that she was 6 weeks pregnant and had panicked thinking your dad wouldn't want anything to do with her or the little one, silly, your dad worshiped her and the bump. Think he glowed more than she did" giving a little laugh he shook his head and carried on talking. " Anyway in the July your mum and dad tied the knot and on October the 3rd gave birth to the most cutest little girl i have even seen, don't worry you're the cutest boy." Which made said lad blush like a Weasley.

"What was sh...my sister called?" this was too much, he had a sister and NOONE told him? It was like a dream come true, he had always wanted a sibling; someone who would always be there for him even if at times he wished they weren't but where was she? A pounding started in his ears and it was getting louder with each passing second, he only just caught Sirius say her name.

"Elizabeth Lily Potter" the darkness took over as Harry passed out.

A few minutes later Harry woke to see three very anxious adults leaning over him from around the bed. Sirius and Tonks were on both his sides each holding a hand in a death grip while Remus was patting his head with a damp cloth.

His head was pounding, his scar felt like it was on fire, threatening to consume his whole face but that was not the thing that took over his mind; Elizabeth, his SISTER was the only thought he could comprehend. Where was she? Did Voldemort take her away as well? Suddenly blue eyes popped into his mind and a soft giggle. Was that her; could he remember her and if he could why now? He tried to think harder, anything about her would do but sadly all he could remember was those blue eyes and giggle.

"You ok there pup? You gave us a right scare" Sirius was fighting every fibre of his being, his pup was hurting, his little doe was out there somewhere all alone, not knowing who she was, not knowing who they was! And he knew that Dumbledore had something to do with this. He swore an oath to himself that he would find his little doe and bring his torn family back together.

"Where is she Sirius? TELL ME!" Harry couldn't handle it anymore; he had to find out where his sister was one way or another. His throat and chest were tightening, the pounding had returned to his ears and he knew that if he tried to stand up then his legs would turn into jelly and he would be hugging the floor.

"I DON'T KNOW! She, she was there that night. I saw her, hell i held her because she was in tears. Found her in your cot with you, she always climbed into your cot when you were upset, she must have heard everything from her room and when it was quiet she must have ran to you. God she would have seen... she was only 3 for Merlin's sake!" Sirius couldn't say anymore as tremors shook him and tears took over, the guilt and horror was too much for the once playboy.

"No one knows what happened to her, everyone thought Voldemort or Sirius had gotten to her but as Sirius is innocent and he did see her then we have no idea" Tonks explained to the now pale boy-who-lived as Sirius was in no state to even say his name never mind explain to his godson.

"Dora please tell us what you have found out, i think we have waited long enough" Remus was tired and all he wanted was to find out if this was really her and if it was then he wanted her here with them. Moony on the other hand was furious he wanted to get out there and hunt her down and rip to shreds anyone who stood in his way.

"Well it was Auror Proudfoot that first came to us with this information. Me and Kingsley was just coming back from Clapham when he was shouting about Potter using more magic in front of muggles, of course we knew he was here and it was 10pm so they was no way Molly would let them out, i did the only thing i could think of. I ripped the massive from his hands and ran. Kingsley obliviated him and followed me to the office. Unluckily Madam Bones was in the office i hid in, i know i screwed up but i really didn't, ya see, Madam Bones read the massive and for some reason she knew about Elizabeth, then she swore me and Kingsley to an oath and get this, an oath to NOT let Dumbledore know about all this. She said that Harry and his family are the only ones we need to inform. When she said family she made it seem that she wasn't talking about the Dursley's, i think she know's about Sirius or at least suspects" Tonks would have carried on as she was really getting into the story when Sirius cut her off.

"She doesn't trust Dumbledore?"

"No she doesn't or anyone who is close to him, the same goes to the old Death eater crowd. Bones is all about the country and doing the right thing for it. She's a fair witch and won't get pulled in by anyone; she's very straight if you get what i mean but saying that she will go all out for the truth. Anyway as i was saying the massive said that an Elizabeth Potter had done magic in front of a group of muggles but also they was more magic been done but it was unable to explain where it came from."

"How can they know if Izzy did do magic though? She'll be over age now so it shouldn't pick up her magic" Remus the ever logical one reasoned. His mind was spinning and his heart was sinking fast. It can't have been her; she was too old for the trace.

"Let me finish Remus, it also said that the lass had been arrested and two others with her, something about a gang fight. Bones said that it picked it up because it was some serious magic being done, as in dark magic. The three of us went straight to the police station she had got sent to, this was about 12ish. When we got to the cells they were empty, all that was in the three cells were a symbol. A triangle, with a circle in it and a line straight down the middle, we have no clue what that means though. We checked the, what did the muggles call it? Oh yeah the CCTV and i swear i was looking at a clone of Lily, the only differences was she had blonde hair and blue eyes, full of tattoos though and two face piercings. The police were stumped about how they got out but we think they disapparated somehow. Luckily for me i took her criminal record, which i must say is quite colourful and got an address. The strange thing was Bones saw me take it and didn't even ask what i was doing or ask about the address, she just said keep me informed about everything that happens, weird eh?" That one had really stumped Tonks; she was in her own little world trying to figure out Madam Bones's strange behaviour that she totally missed the shocked then eager looks off of the three males in the room.

"Tonks, give me that address. Please give me it, please" Sirius didn't care if he was begging, hell he'd beg anyone including Voldemort for it if he had to. He wasn't the only one either; Harry and Remus looked just as desperate as him.

"No Sirius it's too late to go now plus I'm sure Dumbledore has a ward to let him know who comes in and out of the house, we'll wait until morning and ask Bill to check, and then we'll go, i promise."

Friday 8th August 1995

Dudley Hill Police Station, Bradford- 11:30pm

"You wait Toby until we get out of here, I'm going to slowly peel your skin off using one of Lexus's eroding rods and then while your screaming for your pathetic life I'm going to shove the rod so far up your..." this came from the third cell on the left, from within you could hear a continuous march of feet at a agitated pace.

"Izzy! Enough! I'm just as pissed as you and would just love to sink my teeth into that waste of meat, but we don't have time for this shit, Kimaris* could be anywhere now. All this planning and watching for the past month was for NOTHING! Toby you wait till Lexus hears, i just hope he lets us have a play with you first!" this was snarled from the cell next to Izzy's. The hatred from the two cells which was already at an all time high seemed to double with each passing second, sucking with it all the troubled oxygen.

"I didn't... i couldn't...that blasted demon came up behind me, what was i meant to do?" the small voice from the opposite cell shimmered through the darkness. Toby was fresh out of The Towers (the course was named The Towers by the passing students) and this was his very first hunt. He had dreamed of the day he could join the Masters and help protect his people from the oncoming madness, but he had screwed up, screwed up badly and now innocent people would die because of him. It didn't matter to him what Izzy, Logan or anyone else who came to shout at him said, they could never hate him as much as he hated himself.

"That's why we told you to stay where you were! If you had just stayed there then we could have stopped him once and for all but now, fuck, Lexus is going to go spare. Let's just get out of here, we'll sort this shit out later." Izzy was tired, they had been fighting against Kimaris and his army for at least 5 hours before Toby screwed up and the police had turned up. Just what she needed; another conviction against her name.

Two minutes later she was stood outside a small run down back to back house, one up one down the estate agent had said. Inside she could hear Logan telling Toby to go debrief Lexus about the mess which had taken place.

She really didn't want to go back into their latest hole. She had only been living here a month and a half and already she hated it. It was on a main road which was busy no matter what time of day it was. School kids vandalised each car and each window on their way to and from school, screaming at any one who dared say anything back to them. They never laid a hand or a brick on her house but that might have been because even though they knew the house was there, for some reason they seemed to forget all about the house and whoever was inside as soon as they got in a 5 meter radius of it. That was why they hadn't run away from there after they had bunked out from the station. She was amazing at blood wards as her speciality was blood magic, they was hardly nothing she couldn't do using the bleeding magic. Shaking herself from the cold, she turned and went to join her fella team mate and best friend for the last 14 years.

Inside was the total opposite from the outside. It was now a five bedroom, six bathroom house; Two reception rooms with a kitchen dinner and an office. Downstairs was an open plan just the way she liked it, it felt more like home. Hearing Logan was in the office she went to see what was happening now.

"How you feeling now Logan?" Izzy enquired as she made herself comfy in the recliner across from her long time friend. Logan was sat there drinking his bottle of blood as if nothing of tonight had occurred.

"Well, there's nothing like a good fight to make you all warm and fuzzy inside" his mouth twitching at the look which had suddenly appeared on the blonde's face. "Haha fuck Izzy, just chill the fuck out! Look on the bright side; at least we won't be staying in this god forsaken city much longer. Although with your record I'm surprised there are not most wanted pictures of you up all over the country" again he broke out laughing at the look on her face.

"Fuck you dickhead! You've been banged up as much as me and no i don't mean the dirty way either, so get your mind out the gutter. Jesus! You're worse than Crystal. Look I'm tired, I'll speak with you and Lexus tomorrow, night fang boy" with that she left the laughing lad behind her and made her way to the door.

"Hey Izzy, wait! Seriously though, what happened out there? One second you was framing the demon; the next second the frame tripled its strength, I've never seen you use as much power before" Logan's tone and persona had done a one eighty, instead of the laid back joker now he was all business and solemn. This cold, calculating and grim personality was what the outside always saw of him, only the handful of close friends ever saw the real him. Seeing this side of him she knew he was serious and was generally worried about her, hiding behind the cold mask.

"I don't know what happened Logan, Lexus said that when i turn age then my magic will go hare wire for a bit but it'll settle down. Although that was two years ago and it's still doing it, maybe it's my families magic flaring again but that can't be. I just don't know, maybe i should just step back and let you deal with the next demon; let my blood magic settle a bit." She hadn't told Logan but the high power of her magic tonight, it had terrified her and to make it worse her astonishment had shocked her to the core making her already at an all time high magic spiral out of control and pulse wildly, gaining even more power. The major question was though, what had caused it?

"Yes perhaps but like you said, this has been going on two years now and it has never gained more power after your inheritance only lost it for a little while. Something must have caused the shift. Have you been able to use your witch's magic since your coming of age?" his senses were going hire wire around her; she smelt different, almost like she did before her change but that wasn't right because her Veela smell was still dominate. It was as if someone had sprayed her with a touch of her old smell.

"Nope; I haven't been able to use it since my 16th birthday but i can feel it buzzing again. It's not very strong though so maybe it's dying and just taking it final stance?" but this didn't feel right though, it didn't feel weaker but stronger. "Look I'm really tired and we could talk about this all night and still not get any answers. Let's just get some rest and work out what to do tomorrow, night Logan" she left her comfortable chair, kissed a deep in thought Logan's cheek and made her way to her bedroom.

Once reaching her bedroom she let out a tired sigh and sat at the edge of her bed. This was the only place in any of the houses she resided in that she truly felt safe and at home, that might have been because it was the only room she kept the exact same. Same colours, same furniture, same paintings and photos; Speaking of photos her eyes got drawn to a medium size picture with a smiling and laughing family, unbeknown to them that in exactly 3 months none of them would smile like that ever again. In it were a man and a woman who was both sat down on a carpeted floor, fond smiles on their faces and slight shakes of their heads due to what the two small children in front of them were doing. A small strawberry blonde girl no older than three was bending over a giggling little boy with vibrant green eyes blowing raspberries on his stomach then tilting her head up to give a sly smile to the camera then repeating.

It was a picture of her lost family, all but her taken away and lost forever. This was taken on her little Harry's first birthday or should she say Haway, for some reason she could never say her R's until a later age. She remembered all the times that her mother or father would catch her fast asleep next to Harry; from when Harry was four months old it was every morning she got caught in his cot, her father used to just give her a wink and a kiss and say "That's my baby girl, protecting her brother already!" while her mother tried to be angry but unable to keep a stern expression, she gave way to the fond smile and told her "You have to be careful sweetheart, you could fall while you're climbing and hurt both yourself and Harry" but she knew she would never fall and she would never hurt Harry.

She always felt drawn to protecting him even though she never understood what the feeling was until she was older. It was as if she knew she wouldn't be able to protect him for long so she made up for it with the time she had.

Man she had to stop thinking about the past, if not she would turn into a mess. She had a family now, Logan who liked to think of himself as her big brother even though he was only a week older than her! Logan's mum and dad had taken her in when she first came to Atlantis, found her curled in a ball of sobbing mess and opened their home and arms to her, never will she ever forget everything they have done for her. They even went back to her old home just after she got there to bring her brother back and some of her things and photos but sadly no one was there anymore and the house was closed off. Where was Harry though? He was at least alive the last time she saw him, hurt, yes but at least he was still there with her.

On that final thought she reluctantly turned away from her lost family and got herself ready for bed. Laid in bed her final thought was, why couldn't Harry have gone with her, before darkness took over her world.

Kimaris- He is described as a goodly warrior riding a black horse, and possesses the abilities of locating lost or hidden treasures, teaching trivia and making a man into a warrior of his own likeness. He holds the rank of marquis, and is served by 20 legions. He also rules over all the spirits of Africa.

This is for the readers who are interested in who Kimaris is but don't worry he will star more in the story in later chapters. Thanks for reading and giving this story a chance.
