Chapter 11: Night Visions
"Cho, do you mind if I take Lily to Diagon Alley with me? The team agreed to meet me there today and I want to show off my beautiful little girl. I'd like to show you off too but you said you have plans today. So do you think I could take her for the day?" Harry asked as he got dressed for his day of shopping.
It was two weeks till the school started again and they were staying in the house his parents had left him (that was the surprise mentioned in the card.) that was just outside of London in a smaller magical town. It wasn't large but it sufficed for the two months out of the year they actually lived there.
"Sure. I already packed her diaper bag it has an extra bottle in it and its not like you are clueless on how to take care of her. Well you better not be. Maybe this Christmas the team can come to the annual Christmas Party and they can meet me there." Cho replied as she finished tying her shoe.
They ate a quick breakfast and headed off to their destinations. Cho apperated to the ministry where she would be helping out leaving Harry to decide how he was to get to Diagon Alley. Harry headed out to the street as the Knight Bus was the safest way to get there with the baby. (Not that the Knight Bus is safe)
Harry slung his backpack with all of Lily's stuff onto his back and held out his wand arm. Almost immediately the bus stopped and he boarded taking the seat closest to the door and paying old Ernie.
Stan noticed him almost the moment he got on. Lily was giggling at Ernie when Stan came to say hi. Harry stashed his stuff behind his chair and held Lily tightly to him.
"Aven't seen you in a while arry. 'Ow ya been?" Stan asked as the bus started to move again. Then Stan caught sight of Lily who was squealing in delight from the ride. "and oo's the little one?"
"I've been good. This little one is my daughter Lily. How about you? Ever going to change jobs? Not that there is anything wrong with this one but you've been here for quite a while haven't you?" Harry answered the man as he shifted Lily on his lap to hold her tighter so she wouldn't go flying when the bus stopped.
"Nah. You get to meet a lot of people on this job. How old is she?" He nodded to Lily.
"Three and a half months. Her mother had things to do today so I volunteered to bring her with me." Harry answered as the bus stopped and almost threw him to the floor.
"Leaky Cauldron." Ernie called to the bus.
"This is my stop. It was good to see you guys again." Harry slung the vag on his shoulder again and stepped off with Lily glued to his hip.
When Harry entered the tavern Tom came over to greet him. " Mr. Potter. How can I help you today?" the old man asked as he glanced at the baby before giving Harry a questioning look.
"Just here to do some shopping, Tom. This is my daughter by the way. Her name is Lily." Harry answered the unspoken question.
Tom smiled at Lily who smiled and cooed at the old man. Harry made his way to the back and glanced at his watch as he stepped into Diagon Alley.
"Well Lily we're early. Want to go visit Uncle Ron and Hope while we wait?" Harry asked the little girl as he started off towards Ron's Quidditch Shop.
Lily gurgled at him.
They entered the shop and the cashier looked up.
"Ron here?" Harry asked the cashier.
"You're--You're-" the young woman stuttered.
"Yes, I'm the Harry Potter. Now is Ron here today?"
"No sir. Mr. Weasley said he would be in at noon. Do you want me to call him and tell him you're here?" she replied quickly trying to act as though she wasn't really concerned with who he was.
"What is your name? I'm not going to get you in trouble it's just that you must be new here cause I've met most of Ron's staff."
"Sari, and sorry about making a big deal about who you are, it's just.I know you're around a lot but this is my first day on the job so seeing you is sort of a new experience. Did you want me to call Mr. Weasley sir?"
"No. You can call me Harry if you want. How much does this stuff with my name on it make?"
"It used to make something around 1,000 to 2,000 galleons a month but since you retired its almost tripled. Why did you retire if you don't mind my asking that is?"
"To start a family. This here is my daughter. Say how long have you been a fan of mine. Be honest I'm curious."
"A few years now. I graduated from Hogwarts the year before you came. I had friends that were only in first year when I graduated, they told me of your adventures in school. When they spread those rumors about you I didn't believe them cause my friends believed you so you had to be telling the truth. That's when I first became your fan. Then you graduated and went on to become a famous Quidditch player aand I was even more of a fan. And now you have a family that is so great." She answered as she glanced at the baby who was playing with a snitch. "She is lucky to have a father like you. Looks like she has your Quidditch ability."
"Yeah her mom was the seeker for Ravenclaw, she was doomed to get the ability." Harry said as he grabbed the snitch out of the air and handed it and another one to Sari with some money. When she gave him his change he took out his unlimited ink quill (it never ran out of ink he needed one for the crowds and its probably really annoying to carry around an ink bottle) and wrote on one of the snitches before handing it back to Sari and heading out the door. Lily giggled as she played with the second snitch that Harry had put a charm on so it wouldn't go too far out of her reach.
As he left Sari looked at the one he handed her. It read: Sari, I wish you luck and happiness throughout your future. Thank you for believing in me when most turned against me and not being a fair-weather fan. Harry Potter
Harry made his way toward one of the shops intent on finding Cho a birthday gift. Her birthday was in September and he wanted to get her something special. Before he reached the shop someone called to him. He turned to see who it was and found the whole London Team (new seeker included) seated at one of the cafés.
"Hey guys. And Girls." Harry added when the girls glared at him. This sent the guys laughing.
"Man you turned coward. Afraid of disrespecting girls or forgetting them." One of the guys managed through his laughs.
"I've seen a woman's wrath and my wife ticked off will scare any sane man half to death." Harry said as he joined the group at the table. When he sat downone of the guys insisted on insulting him.
"So Harry, this your new girlfriend? She's a bit young don't you think?" he teased gesturing at Lily.
"She is my daughter and she is probably smarter than you Matt. We all know you have a negative IQ from so many bludgers to the head." He sat Lily on the table and pulled out his wallet. He produced a picture of Cho. "For those of you who missed my wedding, this is my wife."
"he has you on the negative IQ point Matt. I don't agree that the bludgers caused it though." One of the girls said then changed the subject. "So does your daughter, that you neglected to tell us you had, have a name or do we just call her girl."
"Lily. She looks remarkably like my mom by the way. So you're the new seeker? You're quiet. How do you survive around this bunch being this quiet." Harry said spotting the newcomer.
"Oh oops. Where are my manners? Harry this is Jillian. She's replaced you. Poor girl. No one can be expected to live up to your reputation. Try as hard as she does." The team captain, Jake, started shaking his head. "Looks like Lily got your skills." He said when he caught sight of her playing with the snitch.
"Nice to meet you. You bought your infant a snitch?" Jillian said as she shook Harry's hand.
"Only because she keeps stealing mine. I decided I'd buy her one so she would leave mine alone. If she doesn't want to play Quidditch when she is older it's fine by me. If she does all the better." He picked Lily up off his lap and turned her towards him. "You'll make Daddy proud with whatever you choose." He told the little girl who giggled in delight as she caught the snitch.
After about twenty more minutes of catching up Matt glanced at his watch. "Hey Jake. We're going to be late for practice. Wanna come Harry? You could try Jill here."
"No thanks maybe another time. I have stuff to do." He glanced at his own watch. "Is that the time?! I told Cho I'd be home by 1:00. I only have 45 minutes. Nice talking to you guys but I have shopping to get done." He hurried off.
He bought Cho a necklace that was enchanted to never break. The pendant on it was a flower made of rubies surrounding a sapphire center and emerald leaves all set in white gold on the enchanted gold chain.
Harry was headed back to Ron's shop when a hand reached out and grabbed him. He was dragged into Knockturn alley. When the hand finally realized him he realized that Lily was no longer in his arms but had been thrown to the floor and was crying from the rain that had started pelting her face. The sky in Knockturn Alley was not visible as it was covered by large spooky arches do to the sensitivity of some items sold in the alley. Harry saw a familiar pale faced man making his way toward Lily and ran to stop Malfoy from getting near Lily. Harry threw a curse at Malfoy hoping to discourage him. Lily began to cry louder as it seemed to get colder in the alley. The familiar screaming in Harry's head started distracting him. While he was distracted Malfoy uttered one of the unforgivables sending Harry to the floor in pain. He fell into unconsciousness as Malfoy came closer to Lily. Harry regained consciousness as Malfoy reached Lily and threw a curse at the young death eater. "Stay away from my daughter. I won't let you hurt her." Harry shouted as he stood. Malfoy raised his wand and sent Harry to the floor in pain again. Harry had yet to give Malfoy the pleasure of hearing him scream and soon passed out.
A/N: I should really stop here but I'm not that cruel so because I got so many reviews for the last chapter I'll be nice and keep going.
Harry woke to a wet cloth being pressed to his forehead. He opened his eyes and groaned. A blurry figure stood over him pressing the cloth to his head which was thinking at an incredibly slow pace. As the memories and his vision started to come back Harry sat up soon regretting it when he saw Cho's scowl.
He obediently laid back down asking the dreaded question. "What happened to Lily? Is she all right? Is she hurt?"
"Calm down Harry. She is fine. Right after you knocked out the Dementors got there. Ron had called in the Ministry when his cashier saw you get dragged into Knockturn Alley. Luckily Tonks was on duty so she didn't hesitate to comfort Lily and call me." She was cut off by Ron burtsting in the room.
"Harry you're awake! Good cause your daughter has been wanting to see you for a while now and its getting a bit hard to distract her." Ron handed Lily to Harry. "Luckily the evil git didn't hurt her or Azkaban wouldn't be good enough for the git. This is one step to far and he was sentenced to life in Azkaban. Just for future notice you ever get yourself knocked out for more than three days again and I'm not watching the kid." Ron tried to joke but the worry was etched in his face.
"How long was I out?" Harry seemed stunned that he had been out for more than a day.
"Six days. You are pushing it for the whole start of term thing. School starts in a week and you are expected to be there in three. Hagrid has moved closer to Madame Maxime and Sirius was moved to be your assistant. Hermione will be teaching a class for future Aurors and Remus will take over the Care of Magical Creatures leaving Tonks to take the DADA job. A lot of changes but that will extend the group a bit. Oh and as my shop runs itself I will be taking a new elective that I'm sure only Hermione would be interested in which is a Hogwarts history class. Did you know that we are in the Revised Hogwarts, A History?" Ron started all exdited that most of the group would be at the school.
"Ron, shut up and leave me alone. I want to talk to my wife and spend time with my daughter before the school year actually starts." Harry told Ron as he stopped to take a breath.
"Oh well two last things. They will be taking the teachers by train to the school for old times sake and Fred and George are opening a shop at the school. Well I'll leave you two alone now." Ron practically ran from the room.
"Did he just confirm my worst nightmare?" Harry asked Cho stunned at the revalation of Fred and George going back to Hogwarts. The school was doomed. Two Maraduers and the twins. Indeed, the school was doomed.
A/N: Did ya like it? I changed it from what I wrote in my notebook but what can you do? This is better anyway so. please review. I finally solved the problem of Lily's nightmare but that is just the beginning of her visions. I like playing with dangerous situations. For example the whole doomed school thing. Heh heh heh. It's just too fun. Till next time.
