Chapter 14

Lily potter was very worried for her sons safety, she and James had been called to Hogwarts along with molly and Arthur weasley because Ginny had been taken into the chamber and harry and Ron were missing. Dumbledore had said he suspected that they had gone looking for Ginny, but he had no idea where the chamber was hidden or he would go after them himself.

"There has to be something you can do!" lily said frantically; again.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Potter but I cannot do anything because I do not know where the chamber is located." Dumbledore said looking guilty.

"but-!" lily started.

"Lily you know Dumbledore would help if he could but there really is nothing he can do." James said looking white and scarred. Lily moaned and leaned into his embrace.

A little while later Fawkes came in and then the three students and Professor Lockhart,

"Harry!" lily exclaimed running over to hug her son. Not even caring that he was covered in grime and blood. "What happened?" she asked.

"Well we kind of went down into the chamber and saved Ginny." Harry mumbled almost incoherently.

Then he and Ron relayed the whole story. Of course molly freaked out at the part of Ginny being possessed and when the story was over molly and Arthur took Ginny to the hospital wing.

"I would like to speak with harry and Ron alone for a moment please. Lily, James. Why don't you wait in the hospital wing?" Lily and James both nodded and followed McGonagall out. "And Minerva, would you please alert the kitchens to a feast."

"Yes Albus." She answered. Lily and James waited in the hospital wing until both harry and Ron showed up. They were cleaned up and given hot chocolate and then everyone headed down to the feast. The whole school was down in their pjs.

"Harry!" Desiree exclaimed running and hugging her younger brother. "Harry I was so worried about you, and Ginny and Ron." She said turning to hug them too. "The twins are really worried as well." Both Ron and Ginny nodded and went to find the twins and Percy.

Lily, James. Molly and Arthur left after the feast.

"See you in a few weeks." Lily said hugging both of her older children.

"Bye mum." They both said tiredly.

The last few weeks went by rather quickly and soon they all found themselves safely at home.

Marshal was 1 ½ and a very fast runner. James kept going on about how good he was on a broom already.

"I'm positive that he will be a star chaser when he goes to Hogwarts." James was saying proudly.

"Nah, he's amazing and throwing stuff hard, he'll be a beater." Sirius said.

"No actually he's really good at finding stuff, I think he'll be a seeker." Rachel was saying. The two boys looked at each other.

"nah." They said together.

"You just want him to be the positions you played." Lily pointed out. "Plus you already have a chaser James."

"Yes I do, I'm just hoping that all three of my kids will be quidditch fanatics." James said.

"Oh yes because the world can't go on without quidditch fanatics." Lily said.

"Nope." James and Sirius said ignoring the sarcasm.

"You two are impossible!" she exclaimed.

"Why thank you." They said bowing deeply. Lily rolled her eyes and left the backyard. Inside the house lily sat listening to the wizarding wireless network.

This just in we now have horrible news that mass murderer and betrayer peter Pettigrew has just escaped Azkaban prison it is not known how he has escaped but guards say they never saw a thing. For those who don't know 12 years ago Pettigrew betrayed the savior of the wizarding world's family to he-who-must-not-be-named, also murdering 12 muggles in an attempt to frame Sirius black. Thankfully the potters lived and bore witness that Pettigrew was their secret keeper for the fidius charm and not Mr. Black or the ministry probably would have thrown him in Azkaban without a trial.

James, Sirius, and Rachel had been listening when this story came on James walked in and wrapped his arms around lily.

"Do you think we should tell them he can turn into a rat?" Sirius asked. After they had finished school the two had registered themselves legally as animagi, but no one knew that they had already been animagi before they had left school, and no one knew peter could turn into a rat apart from their immediately family.

"Well that will tell them how he escaped but it won't help them catch him." Rachel said.

"But they should still know, because if they do catch him they will know to keep him in rat form in a small cell." Sirius said.

"That's true. But what I want to know is why he even stayed in there this long," lily said.

"Probably biding his time, Voldemort might have found a way to get stronger like he's been doing since harry went to Hogwarts and called wormtail to him to help." James said reasonably.

"I don't like that option." Lily mumbled.

"I know baby, but try to put on a happy face because the kids will be back from the weasley's soon and we don't want them suspecting." James said rubbing her back.

"Your right, but it just worries me. I don't want anything bad to happen to harry this year." Lily said.

"I feel the same way." James said.

"Mum! Dad!" they all looked up to see lots of little faces coming through the fire place.

"Hey guys." James said getting up to hug his kids. Sirius got up to do the same thing.

Marshal giggled as James tickled him before handing him to lily. Six year old jo-jo ran upstairs almost immediately after hugging his parents. Maggie who was eight grabbed a book and sat down on the couch to read. Of their three children Maggie was least like Sirius. Trixie was the daddy's girl, she always wanted to spend time with Sirius and be just like Sirius. Jo-jo was a lot like Sirius was when he was little but didn't really stick close to mummy and daddy, he preferred to be left alone and do stuff by himself with no help. Maggie was a mummy's girl; she was more mature than her siblings and always wanted to help mummy with something. She was an amazing cook even at age eight and had a very high reading level.

Desiree was extremely bored. There wasn't much to do without the weasley twins around. Trixie was fun but she was three years younger, she needed someone her own age to hang out with.

"Why don't you invite one of your school friends over?" lily asked.

"Because I don't really have school friends. I just hang out with Fred and George. I only see them in class and we don't talk much." She responded. "Plus all the girls in my year like to talk for hours about hair and makeup and gossip. Its torture. I have to listen to it while I try to sleep."

"I see, so you'd rather be bored than invite people over?" lily asked.

"Yup pretty much." Desiree said.

"Well than why don't we do something fun?" lily said.

"What kind of something?" Desiree asked.

"I don't know what do you want to do that's fun? I can take you out to dinner, and we can look around muggle London." Lily suggested. Desiree looked up.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun." She said.

"We should do it once a week during the summer, since I don't get to see you much all school year." Lily said. Desiree smiled. "Hey James? You good watching harry and marshal?"

"Yeah sure, why?" James asked.

"Because I'm taking Desiree out for a while." She said.

"Oh, have fun." James said going back to talking with Sirius. Lily rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse.

"You ready?" Desiree nodded, so lily took her hand and disaperated to an alley in muggle London.

"Where do you want to go first?" lily asked as they walked out of the alley.

"Well I am kind of hungry." Desiree said. Lily smiled and the two went to a little muggle café just outside diagon alley. After lunch the two went to some muggle clothing stores.

"So we can look at some more muggle stores or we can explore diagon alley." Lily said.

"How long do we have?" Desiree asked.

"We'll probably stay out for a while." Lily said.

"Well then I would like to look at some more muggle shops first. Not to keen on being bombarded with reporters and fans." She said.

"Sure, of course we'll be going to diagon alley for school shopping later. Muggle shopping is more fun." Lily said.

"Oh look a nail salon." Desiree said. "Can we go get our nails done?"

"Of course we can." The two girls got manicures and pedicures before heading home.

"Dad will want us home soon. I sure hope Rachel made dinner for everyone." Lily said.

"I don't think she'd let him burn the house down if she had the option." Desiree laughed.

A/N so please tells me what you think. I also was wondering if any of you had some ideas on bad things to happen I'm just not very good at coming up with those things. I don't want to make it all picture perfect, but I don't want a sob story the whole time. So please if anyone has suggestions I would be very happy for them.

Twinesstar.
