Holly ran from the room to find a room. it didn't take her long to find one that was big enough that she liked. she didn't like the bed and the room was still creepy like the rest of the house but it was clean. she jumped up on the bed when loose spring bit her. " owie! " she pulled out the spring and throw across the room. she rubbed her hip where the spring bit her. she layed on the bed. when she heard the door open. it was mom

lily stared at her little girl.she grown so much. she missed so much after that awful night but now. now she was back again and she had her daughter back. she didn't care about anything as long as she had Holly. her baby.

she didn't notice that Holly had gotten off the bed and ran to her. " mommy! " she yelled before hugging her. I love you mommy! " lily cried and held her. " I love you too Holly " she peppered kisses all over Holly. lily stopped when Holly laughed " I mithed you mommy " lily whipped her tears " I missed you too Holly, I missed you so much " tom watched the odd if not disturbing little bonding moment between mother and daughter.

he left when saw lily weeping over the child. he wondered around when found the spirit again. " who are you ? and how do you know my name, why did you bring me back " Tom was determined get answers. the spirit only smiled " I'm your mother Thomas, I was one who named you and your daughter needed you and her mother back " Tom looked at her. did she honestly believe the potter girl was his? but it was convenient for him. he needed an heir anyways to take on his lordship and he know she'll grow more powerful. a spirit couldn't bring back the dead unless the wizards or witch helping them was powerful. and the fact that Holly brought two people back at full health was an astounding-

accomplishment for a child. maybe he'll let her continue to think that Holly was his child. no reason to bring up trouble. but something didn't stop him to ask this question. " why did she need us back "

Merope stopped and looked at painting on the wall. " every child needs a safe place to call home and you both protected her that night. " tom was confused by that. what did mean. was she somewhere unsafe until know. did something happen?

" what do you mean by that mother? " Merope didn't say anything but his stomach growled in hungry.

Merope looked at before left to the kitchen. maybe to look for something. he'll leave it for know. Merope flew to the kitchen. nothing was there and nothing worked but she had an idea. she'll cook with magic like she use to as little girl and was starving. she knew how to do it. but they're was no ice in the ice box... to keep cold foods cold... wait, wasn't there an ice spell she used when she was young. what was it? oh, yes Glacius! she opened up the old ice box and froze the top compartment to keep it cold.

maybe lily and Holly could enjoy the market place and grocery store. she didn't know how much has changed here.

she looked for lily and saw them hugging.

they looked happy to see each other.

" hello dear " lily stiffened a bit " h-hello ma'am " Merope softly smiled " we're out of food, do you two think you can get some. I still have some Galleon's left. we can transfigure them into muggle money." lily lit up. " oh of course ma'am great idea! " Merope was little stunned. she was so use to people never thanking or being kind to her before Holly came along. she wished so could have been there when was born or to even get the chance to rise Tom.

she soon came back to reality.

" thank you dear, both of you " Merope gave lily the bag of Galleon's before she left to get to try and clean up the kitchen and the dining room for them.

lily transfigured the coins in muggle pounds, 1,000 muggle pounds! lily got up quickly. " come on Holly, let's go to store " Holly smiled and nodded " ok mommy " they dusted them selfs off and walked down to the village.

Holly enjoyed the walk down. her stomach growl Abit but she knew it wouldn't last long. her mother held her hand as they walked the street and found a story.

the story was huge to Holly. her mom got cart for them to use. she stayed by her mom when they walk. " what a darling little girl you have " a woman in her 40's walked up. " you remember me of my daughter when she was little, ah those were the days, now I'm a grandmother to sweet little girl " Holly smiled " thank you miss " the woman smiled " I hadn't been called miss in years " Holly knitted her eyes together " why, your not old? " the woman laughed " what charming young girl, what's her name? " lily felt a little panic before she calmed down a bit. Holly opened her mouth to say her name before mom said something " she gets shy when when people ask her that and we've got cleaning and groceries to get, new house and all " the woman agreed " oh sorry to keep you, I'm Sherry have a nice evening you two " she walked off leaving lily feeling better.

Holly wanted ask why her mom said before her stomach distracted her with a growl. the shopping was smooth and easy. lily got some canned food, fruit, vegetables, cleaning supplies and now all she needed was some clothes.

after they paid at the grocery store they left get clothes, new bedding, pillows, sheets and so on, lily even got them new bed frames and mattresses. she shrunk it all down when they were alone. she'll let Tom get his own things but Holly insistened on getting him a pair of slippers. she'll just keep the receipt for him when they got back Tom looked surprised to see them walk through the front door. Holly ran to him while lily went to kitchen to everything away. " I got you something daddy, it for after dinner ok. no peeking " and with that Holly left to go help her mom. tom at more questions now then before for.

the first thing lily did was clean, they were not going to live in filth. lily mopped, dusted, vacuum and whipped everything down in the kitchen and dining room. Holly was big help to her, it made lily so happy at the small gesture she made.

Merope showed her how to cook with magic. it was new but not unwelcomed.

when lily was done they both ate till full.

" thank you mommy " Holly smiled and whipped her mouth clean. " yes thank you for the food miss lily " after that lily set up they're rooms. did some simple cleaning charms. cleaned the walls and put the beds together. the two nights fell a sleep on the beds they made. Holly didn't want to go sleep without giving her dad his present first. she got and ran to find him. he was alone in his study.

she walked in quietly. " daddy, here's your present. " she smiled at him not noticing him jump in fright. she took bag gently. he opened the beg and saw a box, opened the box and saw a pair of slippers he had wanted as a child. same shape and color he wanted. he smiled and hugged her. it was nice her to get him a present. " thank you sweetie " he kiss the top of her head before she left for bed. he up them on and they were a perfect fit.
