"This place is the one," I say when we arrive in front of the number four private drive.
"I don't see anyone guarding the place. I thought she was important to the light side," Voldemort says, laying a hand on my arm while looking around.
"I thought so too. Should we proceed?" I ask, looking around as well.
"Yes. The longer we take, the more chance we are found," Voldemort says, heading to the door with me right behind him. Voldemort knocks on the door and steps back when we hear yelling from inside. The yelling gets closer, and then the door is thrown open to reveal a very large and red man.
"What are you doing here? Who are you?" the large man yells. I glance to Voldemort's expression to see pure shock on his face.
"We are here to see your niece," I say, quickly stepping up beside Voldemort.
"I don't have a niece. Now get off my property," the large man yells, trying to slam the door in out face. I quickly stop the door from closing while Voldemort imperio's him.
"Show me the rest of the occupants of this house," Voldemort demands. The man begins to wobble down the hallway and leads us to the front room, where there is a large boy that looks just like the man and a skinny woman watching tv.
"Who was at the door, Vernon?" the one asks, standing the minute she sees us.
"Introduce your family to us, Vernon," Voldemort says remaining close to me. I glance around the room as Vernon introduces the woman as Petunia and the boy as Dudley.
"What are you doing here?" Petunia asks, looking at me.
"We are here to see your niece," I say, staring back her.
"You are that boy from when I was young," Petunia says, glancing at her husband.
"Yes, I am. I am here because you've been with holding your niece's letter from her. Where is she?" I say, glancing around again but seeing no sight of a little girl living in the house. Petunia glances at her husband again before meeting my eyes.
"Vernon go to the back yard and stay there until I say you can come back," Voldemort says, glaring as he looks around the house.
"Go with your dad, Dudley," Petunia says, turning off the tv. After both are gone, Petunia seems to relax.
"Where is she, Petunia?" I ask, frowning at her behavior, which causes Voldemort to lay a hand on my arm and step closer to me.
"She's in the cupboard under the stairs," Petunia says, sitting down.
"What?" I yell, moving to strangle her, but Voldemort grabs my arm, which causes me to stop.
"I'm sorry. I've been trying to help her, but I can't. He's against your kind and takes it out on her. Please, can you help her?" Petunia begs, meeting my eyes anymore.
"We're going to take her with us, Severus. Is all her stuff in there with her?" Voldemort says, motioning for her to lead us to Lily.
"She doesn't have anything except a stuffed wolf that was dropped off with her. Vernon tried to throw it away, but I put it with Lily's school trunk that randomly showed up a few days ago," Petunia says, stopping a little way from the cupboard.
"Can you get it on your own?" Voldemort asks, laying a hand on my back. I jump at the contact, not expecting it.
"Yes, I can. It's not very heavy and doesn't have much in it," Petunia says, walking away. I stare at the door to the cupboard but don't make a move to open it.
"Sev, can you handle this?" Voldemort asks, startling me with the abbreviation of my name.
"I can't just stand by and not help her. I owe it to Lily. I just wish I had stepped in sooner," I say, staring into Voldemort's eyes.
"It's not too late, Sev. We can help her. I'll be by your side the whole way," Voldemort says, pulling me into a hug.
"My Lord," I stutter out, freezing.
"We'll talk later. Let's get young Lily and get out of here. It's not safe for us to linger," Voldemort says, releasing me and heading to the cupboard. I hesitate for a second before fallowing him. Voldemort unlocks the cupboard, which has many locks, and slowly opens the door.
