'Thinking'

Felix Potter

"You're it" Nicolas yelled as he ran though the trees Seth ran after him. Seth stopped when he realizing where his brother was heading took a shortcut to cut him off. Seth climbed up a large willow tree and waited on a low branch that was located above the deer trail that his brother was using. Nicolas turned the corner and before he knew it a large object came crashing down upon him. By the time Nicolas figured out that it was Seth he was pinned. Seth began to tickle him. Soon the boys' laughter filled the forest…

SethPotter woke up with a start, laughter rang in his ears. He looked at the clock and moaned; it was 4:45 too early to wake up and too late to try to go back to sleep. He turned over to look at his wife.

Elizabeth Potter had strawberry-bond hair and had bright blue eyes. She and Seth had been friend at Hogwarts and as they got older they realized that they felt more for one another then just friendship. They got married at 27, six years later their son, James Seth Potter was born.

Seth Potter gave up trying to go to back to sleep and deiced to get up. He walked across the room and into the bathroom. After his shower and getting dress Seth headed down the stairs and into the kitchen. He grabbed a pot filled it with water and add the tea bags and set the pot on the stove. Seth then leaned against the countertop and stared at the pot. Then chuckle at what his father used to say to him and Nick "A stared at pot never boils."

A tapping noise interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see a pepper-gray owl with a Daily Prophet; Seth opened the window to let the owl in. Seth then paid the owl and opened up the wizard newspaper. Seth nearly dropped the newspaper.

"NICOLAS AND LUNA POTTER ATTACKED"

Under the heading was a picture of a couple and their child together. The man looked just like himself untidy hair, tall, lanky and pale, it was his brother. The same blue hazel eyes, which both he and his son had hidden behind wired-rim glasses however Nick's eyes were cold and had an unforgiving look to them that gave Seth the chills. The only differences that Seth and his brother was Nick wore no glasses and had a long jagged scar on his right cheek bone. The woman was beautiful with long black slightly wavy hair and ice blue- gray eyes. She was only a few inches shorter than the taller man. The child looked very much like Nick standing behind him except for his eyes they were just like the woman's in the picture. The child's hair was also longer then his father's and had more of waviness to it.

Seth began reading the article underneath:

Aurors found the injured Potters this morning at their house. Luna Potter died sometime last night by suffocation. While Nicolas (Nick) Potter and their son, Felix were taken to St. Mungo. Aurors are unsure as to what happen to the Potter family.

The article went further on, however Seth was unable to read any more. It was as if someone had cast a spell him. Eyes wide, mouth hanging slightly; he was so in shock that he didn't hear the tea pot screaming behind him or his wife coming down the stairs.

Elizabeth Potter entered the kitchen, took the tea pot off the stove and walked over to her husband. "Seth what happen?" Elizabeth asked automatically after seeing a thunder shocked Seth. Seth turned and showed her the Daily Prophet

Just as Elizabeth had finished reading the fireplace roared with life. Seth's boss's head was floating in the now green fire. "Seth, I need you to down to St. Mungo to find out what happen to Nicolas Potter and his son Felix last night. Room number 7-17."

Before Seth could even open his mouth, his boss, Mad-eye Moody was gone with a 'pop'. Seth turned kissed his wife good-bye and told her he would be back later.

Seth give a sharp knock on the room 7-17; a soft voice from inside told him to come in. Seth entered; the room had that overly clean hospital smell and had two beds one had a man in it that Seth recognized as his brother, the other had the boy from the picture in the prophet. The healer that told Seth to come in was wrapping up the small boy's chest. He could tell the boy had been crying, for his eyes were red and puffy.

Seth waited until the healer was done checking on the boy and Nick; the healer looked to be about 30 with long washed out red hair tied back in to a braid. The healer turn towards him "I'm healer Jade how may I help you?"

"I am Auror Seth Potter and I was sent here to ask Nicolas and Felix of the events of last night."

"You won't be able ask Nicolas anything any time soon. He been stabbed at least four times and lost a lot of blood. He won't wake up for at least two more days. However Felix is awake but you might have trouble getting any information about last night; he hasn't said a word since they brought him in." She informed him looking up from her clipboard "excuse me, I must be leaving now; I have other patients to look after." She turned and walked out the door.

Seth turned and sat on the chair next to Felix's bed. For the longest of time they just sat and stared at one another. As if the conversation they were about to have was going to make last night seem so much realer then the dream they wished it was. Seth sighed 'But it wasn't a dream.'

"Hello Felix" The boy just stared at him like a deer in a headlight "I'm Seth Potter, I need to ask you about what happen last night" Seth had seen the shocked look on Felix's face when he said his last name. Seth could see the gears in the smaller boy's head grinding together, laying out all his options. "I know it's hard, but I need to get the person or people who did this" He said softly.

"What will happen to fa-the person who did it" Felix whispered.

"They will get a trial and the judge will decide on what will happen to them." Seth answered

"Will I ever see them again?"

Seth hesitated before answered he knew he couldn't lie however the boy might not answer if he knew the truth "… Only once to make just we got the right person."

"Where do you want me to start?" Felix was tensed his eyes were wide. He looked over at the other bed that contained his father. Then look at his hands that were folded in his lap.

"How about you start with dinner"

Felix then went into great detail about what he and his mother ate. Seth knew the boy was just taking up time, but he didn't rush him. Though what Felix told Seth hit like a ton of bricks.

"Go and pack what you want to bring; remember we are not coming back." Mama whispered softly to him as she walked off to hide father's wand. Felix tip-toed pass the living room, where he stopped to make sure his father was asleep; he could hear his father's snores and walked into his room. He stuffed his bag with clothes, a picture of him when he was a baby, mama, and his father before he became a drunk, and his stuffed animal that was a black lab with its nose missing.

Felix then rushed down the hall back to where mama was. They both had their bags packed and where about to walk out the door when they were hurled back into the wall. Mama cursed very un-lady like, and pulled out her wand trying to get the ward off the house. The ward itself was surrounding the whole house, the windows, the doors and even the walls.

However it was too late to try to get rid of the wards for father had woken up and was searching for his hidden wand…
