"What?" Temno said "You come back here telling me that the Potter boy tried to kill himself? I told you, I told you to keep him away from all the dangerous stuff—I told all of you to MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T DIE!"
The man in the shadow cowered and whimpered.
"M—my Lord—what—what is the reason t—to keep him alive—"
"—TO ACTIVATE THE SECOND PROPHECY!" Temno screamed, "WE NEED POTTER TO BE ALIVE IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE IT, WE NEED HIS STUPID WIFE DEAD TO ACTIVATE IT!"
Temno growled and threw the cruciatus at the man, not satisfied at all with his screams.
"P—please, My Lord," The man croaked "Have mercy—please!"
Temno narrowed his eyes at the man and sneered.
"Fine… I'll have mercy, but I need you to do one more thing…"
"Thank you, you are so kind My Lord—"
"Shut up—and if you fail this, you are going to go beyond!"

Sage stood leaning on the white hospital wall, watching as Lilac paced back and forth, looking up every now and then.
How did Jefferson know that Harry had tried to commit suicide?
As the thoughts clouded his mind, he saw from the corner from his eye, a strange man wearing a black cloak with a hood over his head, covering his face. Sage looked up. The man was wearing boots that clicked and clacked with each step and a robe under his cloak that billowed as he walked, revealing three wands on his hip—something that unnerved Sage a lot.
Though at one glance, no one would notice anything suspicious about him but if they thought about the man one more time, they would normally think that having three wands stuck to the hip and wearing a hood inside a hospital itself was suspicious—not that people in the Wizarding World were normal in the first place. Sage narrowed his eyes at him and saw that the man looked nervous under the hood.
Sage looked at his father curiously and saw that he too, was staring at the man suspiciously. Quietly, he walked over to his father and asked:
"Is it just me, or was that man in the black cloak suspicious?"
"...Not just you," James said "that man screams suspicious—I mean three wands on his hip? Anyone would notice that and that nervous look… it looks as if he's been ordered to do something and can't screw up,"
"Yeah… I thought he looked a little suspicious,"

Harry slowly opened his eyes and waited a few seconds for it to go into focus. He sat up and winced.
"Oww…" He said as he rubbed his abdomen."Huh?"
He looked up and saw Hardwin and Harlow holding hands, staring at him with tear streaked eyes.
"—Why," They said in tandem.
"Do… you not like 's?" Hardwin said, "did you think that we were horrible chi—childs so—"
"—is that why—why you wanted to… see mummy—"
"—but daddy said that mummy is up there," Hardwin said as he pointed at the ceiling.
Both of the children stopped speaking and stared at Harry; who felt uncomfortable under the stares. It was painful for Harry to look at them when their crying face reminded him of Lysandra.
"Look, Hardwin—Harlow," Harry said "I… I love you guys… I—I didn't mean to do that—"
"And how do you explain why you didn't mean to commit suicide when dad saw you try to put the knife through your—"
"Lilac," Harry said, his face cold "That—that is not something to be discussed here,"
He looked at the twins purposely and shook his head.
"Anyways, I was just being my normal, stupid self," At the questioning look of the twins, he continued "you know, thinking that I can take care of you and meet your mum,"
"...Mummy?"
"Yes, Harlow… Mummy—"
"—so… does daddy still love 's?" Hardwin said "will—will we ever meet mummy again?"
Harry smiled and replied;
"Yes, Hardwin… one day, we will meet her,"
-o-
"Hello Lucius, how are you doing today?" Harry said as he bowed his head with respect.
"Hello," Lucius said stiffly "I am fine but alas, I am not here to have a pleasant chat—to be completely honest, it may be far from pleasant but bear with me Harry, it might be important if you hear this,"
"Okay…" Harry said "What—what is the thing that may be important to hear?"
Lucius looked around and silently cast a privacy charm around. When he put his wand away, he sat down and said;
"Macnair has kindly told me that some of the remaining rebels are aiming to activate some kind of prophecy to start a third wizarding war," Lucius said. He continued at Harry's curious looks "And when I mean kindly told I mean forcefully tell me, but don't tell anyone that,"
Harry snorted but turned serious quickly.
"Who—who wishes—or who wants to activate this prophecy and what is it about?"
"Sadly, the contents of the prophecy is unknown but all that Macnair has told me was that the prophecy was about you, your children, and… Lysandra Potter nee Yaxley,"
"So… in order to activate the prophecy… they killed off Lysandra?" Harry asked questioningly.
Lucius shook his head. "As I said, the reasons for some of their actions are unknown but the prophecy was about you—mostly you… but I did hear one part of the prophecy," Lucius raised his hands to stop Harry from interrupting, "At the flee, the third will come, given the name of its forebear and dowager,"
"At the flee… the third will come—"
"—given the name of its forebear and dowager," Lucius finished "Anyways, I shall get going now, I wouldn't want to miss a meeting that our dear old Fudge is holding,"
-o-
"Get the prophecy right!"
Harry jerked his head to the door and listened quietly.
"I—I'm sorry My Lord—"
"Then listen! With the deadly force saving thyself, bringing him central, will he be sorrow,
the dark warrior will rise, a time of war will follow, now do you get it?"
"Y—yes, I'm s—sorry My Lord—"
"Shut up—That's it! That is—that is it, I won't hold my patience any longer!"
"N—no!" The man squeaked in terror "P—please, please have m—mercy—"
"I gave you mercy last time but you failed the assignment—no more, no more!"
Harry waited for them to continue but after a few minutes, he cautiously opened the door and saw no one standing and sighed.
What were they talking about? Was the prophecy a real one, and was that prophecy the same one that Lucius was talking about?
Is… Is the dark warrior Temno?

"No fever: check, no broken bones; check, wound healed; check," the nurse said, "okay Mister Potter, you are finally free to go—"
"Finally!" Harry interrupted "Finally free from the boring place!"
He got out of the bed and tried to get out of the room but was pulled back rather harshly.
"But!" the nurse continued "Don't do any harsh exercise—do you understand?"
"But I never do harsh exercise,"
The nurse rolled her eyes but smiled fondly at him.
"Now off to trot!" she said, "Don't get hurt next time!"
"I'll try!"
Harry apparated to Potter Manor and walked to the twin's room quietly, making sure that his siblings and parents wouldn't notice him. When he got to the twin's room, he slowly opened the door quietly and looked for the twins.
"Hardwin, Harlow," Harry called out "Can you come here?"
Harry heard faint footsteps and saw two small children running towards him eagerly.
"Daddy—"
"—Shh," He said "We need to stay quiet,"
"Quiet?" Harlow whispered.
"Quiet," He said, "now, can you come with me?"
The twins nodded slowly and Harry smiled.
"Thanks," He held out his hands in front of the twins "grab my hand, we're going to apparate,"
"Yay—oops—sorry daddy," Harlow said, correcting herself when she accidentally screamed slightly. She reached her hand to Harry and squeezed his hand.
"C'mon Hardw'n," She said.
Hardwin nodded and grabbed Harry's other hand and smiled up at him "Where are we goin' daddy?" He said.
"Just—just somewhere," Harry replied.
The three apparated out of the house but all of a sudden, they were pulled out and fell to the ground this a thump.
Harry looked around and saw a lot of people slowly surrounding him. Instinctively, he grabbed out to the twins and held them tightly when they whimpered softly.
"Oh lookie," One of the men said, his smiling face revealing crooked teeth "It's Potty and his cub!"
Harry stiffened at the name 'cub' and looked around. Everyone had scars all over their face with a few gashes and bruises that was about two days old. He hugged the twins even tighter and made sure that no one was able to hurt them.
"What—what do you want?" Harry said.
"Ah, straight to the point eh? I like him, he's better than some people!" The man—leader Harry thought—growled the last part and faced the other members who stilled. "Anyways, what I want is your cubs, I'll bet that they'll make some wonderful… Family,"
Harry stood up and faced them with anger. "There's nothing to give for your… family, but was that a good idea—I mean taking me out whilst apparating? I'll bet the order members are going to appear soon," He lied "Oh! There's a few, Sirius, Dad, over here!"
While the group of people looked away to where he pointed, he tried apparating but soon found out that there were anti-apparating and anti-magic wards around. He silently cursed and ran to the nearest building—which was Grimmauld Place and opened the middle door and slammed it closed. When he was sure that no one was going to come in, he turned and saw that there was a wand right in front of him.
"Who are you?" The man growled and Harry saw that he looked unnaturally like Sirius, albeit less… elegant looking.
"Harry… Harry Potter," He said and shielded the twins from him. In response, the man chuckled warmly and said;
"Ah… She said that you would come soon, Anyways, my name's Regulus. Regulus Black,"
Harry thought for a moment before asking "Are you—by any chance— related to Sirius?"
Regulus smiled and nodded. "Brothers actually—"
"I—I—Sirius told me that his brother was killed by Voldemort!" Harry spluttered. "I mean—that's what Sirius told everyone,"
"Well… I didn't move in here until… until a few years ago and I'm not dead, thank you very much—why did Sirius say that?"
"Well—well he never saw you for over a decade," Harry replied "and one of the death eaters yelled at him saying—or taunted that you were killed by Voldemort,"
"Well… That's not true— Oh! I'm sorry, I'll get some band-aids right away!" Regulus said as he ran further into the house.
"What—" Harry looked down and saw that Hardwin was shielding Harlow and had a cut on his cheek that was bleeding furiously. He held the twins in his arm and walked to where Regulus was.
-o-
Harry dropped the twins in the living room with Regulus and walked further into the house and stopped when he heard soft giggling. He stood right in front of a black, dusty door and listened carefully.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hello?" The person—child—girl behind the door replied.
Harry jumped when he heard another voice right behind him.
"Oh, Lilith there you are—oh, how many times have I told you not to go into the dusty black doors?" Said Regulus.
"Um… a lot?" The door opened and Harry's breath hitched.
The girl was literally the carbon copy of Lysandra but had black highlights in her hair. Regulus looked back and forth and hastily said;
"Oh, Lilith—meet Harry, Harry, meet Lilith… your daughter,"
"Oh hello, Lilith—wait what?"
