Hey guys how are you doing?
I asked about who Bellatrix should look like and I haven't gotten any suggestions yet. I'm open to suggestions since I am currently stuck. Like me know.
Chapter 8
5 years later (June 10th 1991)
During the last few years Harry started to get better. He continued to go to Isabella to help with the abuse he suffered and healed faster thanks to the continued support of Lily and the others. Harry and Neville had become good friends almost like brothers. Amelia introduced Harry to her niece Susan and they got along well. Lily had gotten in touch with her friends Elizabeth who was married to Cyrus Greengrass. They had two daughters who Harry also got along with.
A few days after going to Gringotts Lily got to work on getting Sirius released from Azkaban with the help of Amelia. It took a couple of days but in the end Sirius was free and clear. He was compensated for his 4 years with 50,000 Galleons for every 4 months he spent in Azkaban. Sirius spent all the time he could with Harry who started to see Sirius as an uncle. Sirius was brought up to speed on Harry's abuse and he did what he could to help Harry. He even introduced Harry to his cousin Andromeda and her daughter Nymphadora who hated being called by her first name. As the years went by Harry noticed that Sirius was a bit distant towards Lily but he never knew why.
Since Harry's Incubus side wasn't dormant he had gone under one of 3 maturities that Incubus and Succubus go through when he was 7. After the first maturity which kick started his puberty he had started to noticed girls and learned by himself of the connection that he and Lily shared but he didn't know that Lily also felt the connection.
Lily and Tom trained Harry on controlling his power and during that time they learned that he currently had unlocked 1% of his power which shocked them. Lily had used her full power for get through the barrier Harry created during his night terror.
Right now Harry and Lily were walking around in the town Lily had grew up in.
"That field was where I met Severus Snape." Lily said pointing toward the field.
"The guy who called you a mudblood?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. These days that doesn't mean much." Lily said.
"Look Mum. When you mentioned him I noticed how you would have a hint sadness in your eyes." Harry said.
"Yeah. Well you're smart enough to know this but about a couple of weeks after he called me a mudblood, he had come to me and tried to apologise. He confessed that he loved me but obviously I didn't feel the same way but something happened. Love. More like obsessed." Lily said.
Harry then felt her hand grab his hand.
"He tried to… rape me." Lily said.
Harry looked at her in shock and his anger grew.
"Wait till I get my hands on him." Harry said.
"You will do nothing." Lily said.
"Why not?" Harry asked.
"Because your father already sorted him out." Lily said.
"How?" Harry asked and Lily sighed.
"He cut his balls and dick off. To this day I'll never know how James never got expelled for that." Lily said.
"Really? That is awesome." Harry said.
"Yeah. I've gotten past that but as you can guess I'll never forgive him." Lily said.
Harry then pulled Lily into a hug which she returned.
"Lily Evans?" A woman exclaimed.
Harry and Lily separated and looked at the woman who was a very beautiful brunette.
'Damn.' Harry thought.
"Emma Smith?" Lily asked.
"It's Granger now." Emma said.
"It's Potter for me." Lily said.
The two ladies hugged and Harry couldn't help but like the view their large breasts pressing against each other.
"God it's been years." Lily said.
"It has. What are you doing back here?" Emma asked.
"Showing my son the town I grew up in." Lily said.
Emma then looked at Harry who just stood.
"This is your son?" Emma asked.
"Yep. Harry this is a childhood friend of mine. Emma Smith. Well Granger these days." Lily said.
"Nice to meet you Mrs Granger." Harry said.
"Nice to meet you to Harry. You can call me Emma." Emma said.
"Thank you." Harry said.
"I guess good looks run in the family Lily. He'll be a ladies man when he's older." Emma said.
"He gets that from his father." Lily said.
"Who is the lucky man?" Emma asked.
"His name was James. He died on Halloween a year after Harry was born." Lily said.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that." Emma said.
"It's ok." Harry said.
"How old is Harry?" Emma asked.
"11 next month." Lily said.
"Really? He doesn't look his age." Emma said.
"I know." Lily said.
"Want to come round my house and catch up?" Emma asked.
"If you don't mind then sure." Lily said.
"Harry can come as well. I have a daughter who is the same age as him." Emma said.
"Thank you." Harry said.
They went to Emma's house.
"Hermione I'm back!" Emma shouted.
A footsteps were then heard and a small bushy haired girl ran down the stairs.
"Hi Mum." Hermione said.
A woman then entered the hallway.
"Hi Clara. I trust Hermione has been good while I was gone?" Emma asked.
"Good as gold." Clara said.
Hermione smiled as Emma handed Clara some money and she left the house.
"Hermione I want to introduce you to a friend of mine. I believe I told you about her before. This is Lily Potter." Emma said.
"Your maiden name was Evans right? Nice to meet you Mrs Potter. Mum told me that you were one of the nicest people you could ever meet." Hermione said.
"You can call me Lily dear but thank you. This is my son Harry." Lily said.
"Nice to meet you Hermione." Harry said.
"Nice to meet you to Harry." Hermione said.
"Hermione. Why don't you show Harry your room while me and Lily catch up?" Emma asked.
"Ok. Come on. I can show you my favourite books." Hermione said.
"Lead the way." Harry said as he followed Hermione upstairs.
Emma and Lily smiled as they went into the kitchen.
They chatted for half an hour about different things. Lily told her a bit about James and Emma told Lily about her husband Dan before he died.
"So where did you meet James?" Emma asked.
"At that new school I went to go to." Lily said.
"Oh yeah. So he was scouted at well?" Emma asked.
That was when Lily remembered that Emma didn't know about Hogwarts.
"Yeah. He was an immature git at first but he mellowed out during that last few years of school." Lily said.
Laughing was then heard through the ceiling.
"Glad those two are getting along." Lily said.
"Yeah." Emma said.
Lily then noticed a frown on Emma's face.
"Something wrong?" Lily asked.
"Hermione has had difficulty making friends. She reminds me a bit of myself. Loves her books. Gaining knowledge." Emma said.
"Smarter than most kids her age." Lily said.
"Yeah. You were the first friend I ever made. Thankfully you were as smart as I was. Maybe smarter. I hoping that-" Emma said.
"You're hoping that Harry may help her." Lily said.
"I am. There was an incident a couple of years ago which made her feared among a few kids." Emma said.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"You'll think I'm crazy." Emma said.
"Try me." Lily said.
"Well she broke a lamp but she claimed that it floated and fell to the floor." Emma said.
'Hermione's a witch.' Lily thought.
"You think she was defending her friends?" Lily asked
"Maybe." Emma said.
"Don't worry. Harry and Hermione will become great friends." Lily said.
"How can you be so sure?" Emma asked and Lily sighed.
A scream and a banging noise was then heard upstairs. Emma and Lily rushed upstairs to Hermione's room. They found Hermione holding Harry's waist in fear while he comforted her. Hermione saw Emma and hugged her. Lily noticed a book on the ground and looked at Harry who was making movements with his hands which Lily recognised as sign language.
[Hermione's a witch.] Harry signed.
[I know.] Lily signed back.
"What happened?" Emma asked.
"It happened again. I went to get a book but… it suddenly… floated to me." Hermione said.
"Hermione. We went over this. Nothing can do that. Are you defending-" Emma said.
"No it's true Mum." Hermione said.
[Looks like we got no choice.] Harry signed and Lily nodded.
"Emma. Let me try get the truth." Lily said.
"Ok." Emma said in a confused tone.
Lily then knelt down.
"So the book floated?" Lily asked.
"Yeah. I don't know how." Hermione said.
"This isn't the first time something like this happened?" Lily asked.
"No." Hermione said.
"Do not encourage her." Emma said.
"It's true Mum." Hermione said.
Lily moved Hermione's head towards the book.
"Did it float like this by any chance?" Lily asked.
Lily raised her hand and the book floated. Emma and Hermione gasped as she saw it.
"Judging by your reaction it did." Lily said.
"How are you doing that?" Hermione asked.
"It's magic. I'm a witch. It appears that so are you." Lily said.
"I thought they were a myth." Hermione said.
"No they're not." Lily said.
"You may want to take a seat for the next part." Lily said as Lily made a chair float to Emma.
Lily then told them about the wizarding world and why it is in hiding. Emma seat on the chair dumbfounded while Hermione was fascinated.
"So this world has been hiding ever since the old witch hunts?" Emma asked.
"Yes." Lily said.
"Did your husband know or was he a wizard?" Emma asked.
"He was wizard." Lily said.
"I'm guessing Harry is one." Emma said.
Harry then made a couple of books float up and down.
"I know this a shock Emma. I was when I found out." Lily said.
"How does Hermione have magic when we don't?" Emma asked.
"It just happens Emma. Some kids are magical and some are not." Lily said.
"This school you went to, was it a magic school?" Emma asked.
"Yeah. Hogwarts. Harry will be going there in a few years. The acceptance age went from 11 to 14. To be honest from what you've told me about Hermione, I can see her going to Hogwarts." Lily said.
"Yeah. Hermione may be a witch but she's still my daughter. I have to think about this." Emma said.
"Yeah." Lily said.
"What else can you tell me about the wizarding world?" Hermione asked.
"There is a lot I can tell you. Not right now though." Lily said.
"So others saw you use accidental magic before?" Harry asked.
"Only a couple of my friends. Well they used to be my friends. They think I'm a freak. Maybe they're right." Hermione said.
Lily looked at Harry who held Hermione's hands.
"You're not a freak Hermione." Harry said.
"Feels like it." Hermione said.
"Well you're not. Believe me I know what it feels like when someone makes you feel that way. You're not a freak." Harry said and then left the room.
"Was it something I said?" Hermione asked.
Lily contemplated on what she wanted to say but decided to not reveal the truth for now.
"In our world there was a terrorist who wanted to kill Harry and James died protecting him. The terrorist came close to killing Harry but I had some contingences in place. I was kidnapped and tortured for 4 years. When I returned I found out that Harry was sent to Petunia and I didn't want him to since Petunia developed a hatred of me due to jealously. They abused him. Very badly." Lily said.
"Oh my god." Emma said.
"He was a mess after I saved him." Lily said.
"If you were alive then why was he sent to her?" Hermione asked.
"I was presumed dead. Mine and James' wills were never publicly read out. Harry was supposed to go to my friend Amelia or his godfather Sirius." Lily said.
"I see. Poor kid." Emma said.
Lily nodded as she left the room to find Harry who was standing in the front garden. Emma and Hermione followed suit and comforted him.
4 months later (31st October)
After Harry's 11th birthday Harry became Lord Potter. He also became Lord Gryffindor but that was not currently public knowledge. Since Tom was still alive Harry couldn't become Lord Slytherin. Harry and Lily moved into Potter Manor. When they got there the elves went berserk with happiness. Harry was shown the Lords bedroom and private study which only he could enter. He was confused as to why there were no moving pictures of his family since he knew it was common thing among Pureblood families. For reasons not known to Harry but Tom decided to stay at his manor but Harry did modify the wards around Potter Manor so he could visit whenever he wanted.
Right now Lily and Tom were in the kitchen.
"How is Harry doing today?" Tom asked.
"He's ok." Lily said.
"I know that today isn't one of his favourite days of the year." Tom said.
"Yeah. I still think about what could've been different." Lily said.
"I do sometimes." Tom said.
"Do you think that we could've helped James?" Lily asked.
"No. It was a lose-lose situation. Those loyalty charms were way too integrated into his mind. Removing them would have killed him. He would've suffered." Tom said.
Lily frowned as she took a sip of her drink.
"Lilith I didn't want to kill him. All the good things he did you." Tom said.
"I know. We never should've left him there when we faked our deaths either." Lily said.
"Knowing what we know now, I agree." Tom said.
Tom jumped when he heard Lily's cup shatter on the ground. He looked at Lily who had a paled terrified look on her face. Tom didn't need to turn his head to know why she was like that. He turned his head anyway and saw Harry standing at the kitchen door which a look of anger on his face and a familiar blood red aura surrounding his entire body. His green eyes were also the same shade of red.
"Harry. How long have you been standing there?" Tom asked.
"Long enough to hear you say that killed Dad and you two abandoned me." Harry said.
"Harry-" Lily said walking towards him.
"Back… off." Harry said.
Lily froze in fear. His voice didn't sound the same. It was more deep and demonic.
"Harry you must understand." Tom said.
"Understand what? You told me Dumbledore killed Dad but no YOU did. You said that you were captured and tortured. What else have you lied to me about?" Harry asked.
"Harry please listen-" Lily said.
"You abandoned me. Left to me to be tortured by the Dursleys. Was that apart of you wanted?" Harry asked.
"No. You were never supposed to go to the Dursleys." Lily said.
"If that is the case then why was I there?" Harry asked.
"It was Dumbledore." Lily said.
"I have difficulty believing that." Harry said.
"It's the truth." Tom said.
"The truth is that you two killed Dad and abandoned me." Harry said.
"Harry we didn't-" Lily said.
"Save it. You killed Dad and abandoned me." Harry said.
"We didn't want to." Lily said.
"But you did. 6 years ago you said you'd never leave me but you did. You're the reason I suffered. You are a horrible mother." Harry said.
That hit Lily hard.
"I'm sorry Harry but you were supposed to go to Amelia or Sirius. I wanted to make sure you'd have a normal childhood." Lily said as tears formed.
"If you wanted me to have a normal childhood then you never should've abandoned me." Harry said as he stormed out the manor.
Lily just stood as she cried. Tom chased after Harry.
"Harry!" Tom shouted
"Get away from me." Harry said.
"Harry! Everything we did, we did for you." Tom said.
"FOR ME?! If you did it for me then why did you leave? Why kill Dad?" Harry asked.
"You've heard of Dumbledore and what a great man he is but he isn't a good man. He is a dark lord and he needs to be stopped." Tom said.
"You'd let your own grandson suffer in order to accomplish your goals?" Harry asked.
"You were never supposed to suffer." Tom said.
"I did suffer and that's because of you two leaving." Harry said as he disappeared.
1 hour later
Harry stood in the rain as he watched kids trick or treated. Laughing and having fun. He saw fathers pick up and play with their kids. Something he'd never experience.
"Harry? What are you doing standing in the rain?" A man asked.
Harry looked and saw Sirius with an umbrella.
"Hey Uncle Sirius." Harry said in a sad tone.
"Come on kiddo. Let's go inside so you can dry off." Sirius said.
Harry followed Sirius and after a couple of minutes of walking they arrived at his house. Sirius rushed inside and got Harry a towel and some fresh clothes. Harry dried himself off and got changed. When he was done he sat with Sirius at the table in the kitchen.
"Now. Why the hell are you standing there in the rain?" Sirius asked.
"The same reason why you've been so distance towards Mum." Harry said.
Sirius sat in silence as he knew what Harry was talking about.
"You know?" Sirius asked.
"I overheard Mum and Grandad talking about it. When and how did you find out?" Harry asked.
"Lily told me the truth. Made an oath of truth and made me swear not to tell anyone. Not even you. From what I've been told, Dumbledore needs to be stopped but I didn't like that Tom killed James. He may not have been blood but James was my brother." Sirius said.
"Yeah I know." Harry said.
"Harry I'll be honest. I don't trust Lily as much as I used to but I know that Dumbledore needs to dealt with." Sirius said.
"Is it alright if I stay here tonight?" Harry asked.
"As long as you need Pup. You can stay in my old bedroom." Sirius said.
"Thanks. Goodnight Uncle Sirius." Harry said as he hugged him.
"Goodnight Pup." Sirius said.
Sirius watched as Harry went up the stair at a slow pace. He could see the pain Harry was going through and wanted to fix and there was one way he knew how.
Meanwhile
Lily cried as she sat in the living. Harry's words hit her like an avalanche and as much as it hurt, she knew he was right. Now she realised that the decisions she made weren't for Harry but for Tom. She was so focused on the plans he made that she lost sight on Harry's future. While she wanted him to be safe, she never thought the possibility of Dumbledore's smart manipulations. Ever since Bloodfang told her that the head goblin of wills was under the imperious curse the guilt of leaving Harry only heightened.
"Lilith. Harry will come around eventually. At some point he'll come to understand why we did what we did." Tom said.
Lily slowly turned her head towards Tom. A look of rage was seen on her face.
"I never should've listened to you." Lily said.
Tom paled as he heard the demonic tone of her voice which was similar to his wife's before she died.
"Lilith we-" Tom said as Lily pushed him to the wall.
"Don't go there. I know now that we've been too focused on Dumbledore that we never truly thought about Harry's future. That changes for me." Lily said.
"Lilith, Dumbledore needs to die." Tom said.
"I KNOW! Every plan so far has always pointed towards being one step ahead of him but we weren't truly thinking of how he could turn our decisions to his favour. Controlling that goblin wasn't the worse thing he has ever done before sending Harry to the Dursleys." Lily said.
"You don't think I feel guilty to? Leaving him? Making you go through the same pain I did?" Tom asked.
"I know you do. I also realise now that a parent wouldn't make their children go through the same pain but you did. I know Dumbledore needs to pay for all the bad things he has done and I know your need for vengeance after him killing Mum is something you will go to great lengths to satisfy. He took Mum from us and I hate him for that but Harry has been through pain all so we try and take that evil monster down. That was not what I wanted and that is not going to happen again. A mother should always think of their children first and all these years I thought was but I wasn't. Our plans were. Never going to happen again." Lily said.
"So you're not going to continue with our goals?" Tom asked.
"I didn't say that." Lily said.
Green flames erupted from the fireplace and Sirius appeared from them. He saw the angry look on Lily's face.
"I'm guessing I came at a bad time." Sirius said as Lily let Tom go.
"No. Dad was just leaving." Lily said.
'I'll never get used to that.' Sirius thought.
"Lilith-" Tom said.
"GET OUT!" Lily shouted.
Sirius jumped. He knew all too well that you do not push Lily when she is angry. Tom left the manor while Lily and Sirius sat down.
"If you're here to see Harry, I'm afraid he isn't here." Lily said.
"I know. At this moment he is asleep at Grimmauld place. He's quite upset." Sirius said.
"I know he is." Lily said.
"Can't blame him." Sirius said.
"No. Nor can I blame him for calling me a horrible mother." Lily said.
"Look Lily, you did a terrible thing leaving Harry but ever since you saved him from the Dursleys you've near enough made up for that." Sirius said.
"Have I though?" Lily asked.
"Look I think I can get Harry to come around with you leaving him and maybe talk to you but James' death may be a bit more difficult but I think that anger is pointed more towards Vol- Tom." Sirius said.
"You're going to talk to Harry?" Lily asked.
"Yes." Sirius said.
"How are you going to get him to talk to me?" Lily asked.
"He doesn't know much about Dumbledore and what he has done to you. I'm going to tell him everything." Sirius said.
"But Sirius the oath you made. It'll kill you." Lily said.
"No it won't. If you remember I said that I wouldn't tell anyone UNLESS given permission." Sirius said.
"You chose your words carefully." Lily said.
"You have to when making an oath." Sirius said.
"You have permission Sirius." Lily said.
Sirius then glowed blue and a misty silhouette of a lock appeared and looked as though it unlocked itself. Sirius and Lily knew that the oath was now gone and Sirius' magic was now free.
"Thanks." Sirius said.
"Don't tell him about the criminals part." Lily said.
"No. That's for YOU to tell him when he comes back here." Sirius said walked to the fireplace.
"I've seen how he hate crime Sirius. He gets that from me and Dad. I tried my best to keep my son away from this life. All I did was push towards him it." Lily said.
"You never pushed him towards it. He was in it before he was even born." Sirius said as the green flames appeared.
Sirius stepped into the flames and disappeared.
"Maybe you're right." Lily said to herself.
The next morning
Harry woke up. He was slightly confused with his surroundings before he remembered the events from last night. He sighed as he walked downstairs to the kitchen. He saw Sirius sitting at the head of the table like he always did with his wand was on the table. He looked at Harry with a serious look on his face.
"Sit down next to me." Sirius said.
Harry had hardly ever heard Sirius use that serious tone before but he had heard it before. Harry sat on the seat next to Sirius.
"I Sirius Orion Black hereby swear that all I reveal in this moment is the truth. If I tell a lie I lose my magic. So mote be it." Sirius said.
Harry sat there dumbfounded.
"What the hell are you doing?" Harry asked.
"What I have to do to make you understand." Sirius said.
"Understand what?" Harry asked.
"Why your mother and grandfather have done what they did." Sirius said.
"They put you up to this?" Harry asked.
"No. This is something I chose to do. Now listen. You know about Albus Dumbledore don't you?" Sirius asked.
"The man who defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald." Harry said.
"Yeah but he is not the nice man he has made himself to be Harry. He has done many evil things in his time. They say that history is written by the victor but you never know if that history is true. Grindelwald was the evil man history says he is. Dumbledore manipulated the truth and that became the history." Sirius said.
Harry looked at Sirius with disbelief but he remembered the oath.
"Why would Dumbledore do that?" Harry asked.
"He wants to rule the wizarding world Harry. Remember when you were 6 and I stopped that rapist?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah. That's what made me hate criminals." Harry said.
"It wasn't the first time that criminal raped a woman. He was tried but Dumbledore used his influence to have the man released." Sirius said.
"He did? Why?" Harry asked.
"He controls most crime that happens in the wizarding world. Do you know of that Veela Enclave that was in Spain?" Sirius asked.
"I heard about it. It was destroyed because the Veela there were discovered and captured by slave drivers. Those who resisted were killed." Harry said.
"Who do you think lead them right to the enclave?" Sirius asked.
"Dumbledore." Harry said.
"Yes. Did Tom ever tell you about his wife Valentina? Your grandmother?" Sirius asked.
"He never talked much about her. He never told me how she died." Harry said.
"Dumbledore killed her Harry. Do you want to know when?" Sirius asked.
"Part of me doesn't." Harry asked.
"20 minutes after Valentina gave birth to your mother." Sirius said.
Harry sat there in shock.
"20 minutes!?" Harry exclaimed.
"That's right. Her mother was barely in this world before Valentina was killed and Dumbledore tried to kidnap Lily from Tom." Sirius said.
"God." Harry exclaimed.
"Dumbledore was closing in on Tom and he did something he didn't want to do. Gave your mother to an orphanage so she could be safe." Sirius said.
Harry was speechless.
"Why give Mum to an orphanage? Why not just go into hiding with her?" Harry asked.
"Same reason you were supposed to come to me or Amelia. A chance to have a normal childhood. Not having to live a life in hiding." Sirius said.
"If I was supposed to go to you or Amelia then why did I end up at the Dursleys?" Harry asked.
"It was stated in James and Lily's will that you should go to Amelia or me but Dumbledore corrupted a goblin and sealed the will. You blame your mother for sending you to the Dursleys but that should be pointed to someone else." Sirius said.
Harry just said nothing. He couldn't think what to say.
"I bet you're regretting calling her a horrible mother aren't you?" Sirius asked.
Harry nodded.
"Harry. I don't agree that Lily should've left you but I know that she did so you could be away from the life that she is in but like I said to her last night. You were in it before you were born." Sirius said.
"What would Dumbledore gain from me being with the Dursleys?" Harry asked.
"So when you went to Hogwarts you'd find someone who would care for you. He wanted to turn you into a martyr. Use you in his quest for control. He even made a fake prophecy about you." Sirius said.
"Mum showed me nothing but love after she rescued me. She saved me from what Dumbledore planned and I threw it back in her face." Harry said.
"It was anniversary of your father's death and you learned the truth, you had a right to be angry. It's natural Pup. Lily doesn't blame you for being angry even if you called her a bad mother." Sirius said.
"What about Grandad? He killed Dad." Harry said.
"Yeah. Dumbledore put very powerful loyalty charms on James. Removing them would've killed him. He would've went through a lot of pain. I don't like the fact that James is dead but the one positive that I can find is that he wouldn't be under Dumbledore's control. You see the pattern Harry. Every bad thing that has happened to us all leads back to Dumbledore. Your family and the Dursleys." Sirius said.
Harry let all the information sink in and he knew Sirius had a point.
"I'm going for a walk. Clear my head." Harry said.
"Want me to come with you?" Sirius asked.
"I'll be alright. Just want to be alone." Harry asked.
"Will you be going back home after?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah. I want to be level-headed before I do." Harry said.
"Good idea. You be careful Pup." Sirius said.
"I will. See you later." Harry said.
Harry left the house and walked for an hour before he stopped at a park. He sat down and watched kids play with their parents. He was so focused on watching the parents and children that he didn't notice an elderly woman sit down next to him.
"Penny for your thoughts young man?" The woman asked.
Harry looked at the woman.
"Why so down?" The woman asked.
"Why ask?" Harry asked.
"A young man like you should be enjoying yourself. Not be moping." The woman said.
"Just some problems at the moment back home." Harry said.
"What kind of problems?" The woman asked.
"I found out some secrets my mother did." Harry said.
"Bad things?" The woman asked.
"From what I've been told, a bad thing for the right reason only the outcome wasn't what she wanted." Harry said.
"How so?" The woman asked.
"Ma'am no offence but I don't know you." Harry said.
"I understand your caution but I've done some bad things for the right reasons. Maybe an opinion may help." The woman said.
Harry looked into her mind but not too far. He knows that she doesn't have evil intentions.
"When I was baby, my mother left me so I could go and be raised by her friend. I was sent to someone else. Someone who abused me." Harry said.
"So you blame her for it?" The woman asked.
Harry was silent for a couple of seconds. He decided to mix the truth a bit
"Yeah I did but I've just a chat with my godfather and he revealed some things. My grandfather also killed my dad. Apparently he had ties to a terrorist." Harry said.
"Really? So your father was killed and you got left behind to be raised by your mother's friend?" The woman asked.
"Yes. Sounds kind bad doesn't it?" Harry asked.
"To most people but not me." The woman said.
Harry looked at her with confusion.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"I'm a mother young man. A parent will go to extreme lengths to protect their children. I know because I've been down that extreme road myself although I was a different situation." The woman said.
"Really?" Harry asked.
"Yes. One of my sons Lewis, he was a good boy growing but as he got older he started mix with the wrong crowd. Drugs, gambling, hurting people, got into debt." The woman said.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"A group of men came to our home and demanded my Lewis to give them their money back but he couldn't since he didn't have it. I made an offer they didn't refuse." The woman said.
"Do you mind if I asked what the offer was?" Harry asked.
"I was a bit of a looker in my day so I let them have their way with me." The woman said.
"As in-" Harry said.
"Yes. I let them have sex with me. Multiple times." The woman said.
"Even after all the bad things your son had done?" Harry asked.
"It takes a lot to break a mothers love young man. Any parent will do the wrong thing to protect their children. One day you may understand. To be honest with you, if I was in your mother's position, if I had to leave in order to protect my children, I'd do it. It would hurt a lot but if it meant that my children would be safe then that pain would be worth it." The woman said.
Harry stared at the ground in silence.
"I hope my words have given you some help." The woman said.
"It has Ma'am. Looks like I have an apology to make. Thank you." Harry said as he stood up.
"You're welcome." The woman said.
The woman watched as Harry walked away. As soon as he was out of view she walked away from the park and then she transformed revealing to be Aphrodite.
'Now the bond will be at its strongest when fully forged. Sorry for deception Harry but all be explained. I'll be seeing you quite soon.' Aphrodite thought.
Harry used his Incubus teleportation to return home. He stood at the front door for a few seconds before entering. He entered the living room and saw Lily lying on the settee asleep. He noticed a picture and tissues on the coffee table. He figured that Lily used them to wipe away her tears. He quietly approached her and he picked up the picture. It was a picture of him and Lily. Lily had her arms wrapped around his waist and she was giving him a kiss on his cheek. Harry felt more guilty as he looked at the picture. He heard Lily stir as she woke. When Lily fully opened her eyes she looked and saw Harry.
"Harry." Lily said.
Lily sat up and Harry sat down next to her.
"I wasn't expecting you back so soon." Lily said.
Harry said nothing as he just sat next to her in awkward silence.
"Harry. I know that I did a terrible thing leaving you." Lily said.
"Yeah you did but you did it for the right reasons." Harry said.
Lily looked at Harry in surprise.
"That's what a parent will do isn't it?" Harry asked.
"Y-yeah." Lily said.
"I just had a chat with a nice elderly woman. She was very helpful in making understand what a mother will do to protect her children. Don't worry I looked into her mind and made sure she had no evil intentions." Harry said.
"Harry. When I left, I did make sure that you'd have a good childhood which Amelia or Sirius would give you. I just forgot that Dumbledore is a smart man. I was dumb as well because I wasn't as focused on you as I should have. I was more focused on our plans. Like I said to Dad, never again." Lily said.
"Mum." Harry said.
"No Harry. Even since I saw you in that cupboard that was when I knew karma came back to hit me in the face. The pain you went through. You suffered because I left you. If I hadn't-" Lily said as she started to cry.
"Mum. Sirius explained. DUMBLEDORE sent there. Not you." Harry said.
"I am partly responsible Harry and I don't expect you to forgive me." Lily said.
"Can't forgive someone if they weren't responsible for the bad thing that happened." Harry said.
"You have every right to blame me Harry." Lily said.
"I'm not and I never will again Mum. I should've gone to Sirius and Amelia but Dumbledore sealed your will. He sent me to the Dursleys and he will pay for it. If anyone has to ask for forgiveness, it's me. It was wrong for me calling you a horrible mother after saving me from him, the Dursleys and everything you've done for me after that." Harry said.
Harry saw Lily smile as she cried. He wasn't prepared as Lily pulled him into a hug as she did burying his face into her large breasts.
"Anger makes people say bad things and you are no different." Lily said not realising where Harry's face was.
"I still said it Mum." Harry said.
Lily noticed his voice was muffled and that was when she realised that Harry's face was between her breasts. She let him go with a blush on her face which she was able to hide from him.
"If it makes you feel better, I forgive you." Lily said.
"Thank you." Harry said.
"What's going to happen with your grandfather?" Lily asked.
"I don't know. He killed Dad but Dumbledore corrupted him." Harry said.
"He didn't want to killed James after everything he had done for us." Lily said.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Harry said.
"Yeah. Maybe you're right." Lily said.
Harry then decided to brighten up the day.
"Come on. Let's go." Harry said.
"Go where?" Lily asked.
"You and me are going to spend the day together. But first…" Harry started.
Lily gasped as freezing cold water hit her face.
"You need to wash those tears off your face." Harry finished.
"I'll get you for that." Lily said.
Harry laughed as he ran and Lily gave chase.
"Get back here!" Lily shouted.
Done
Sorry about the wait guys. Worked picked up a bit and I've never written anything like that with Harry learning the truth and that whole anger part. I wanted to make it as good as I could. If there is somethings I could improve on let me know. I think I've found someone who Bellatrix could look like. Nidia Flores from Ghost Recon Wildlands. Agree with this? Let me know. I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
Peace
