Merope watched Holly and Dudley walk-up, they looked so cute cuddling each other that she didn't wanna wake them up.
when they started to stir awake she left to let them get dressed. she watch Petunia make breakfast for everyone not just her, Vernon and Dudley. Dudley ran down stairs dress for the day. " mom Holly forgot to tell you yesterday but one of her friends invited her to sleep over for a few days, is that ok? " Dudley came up that plan last night so no one will look for Holly. Petunia stopped for a moment before nodded happily. " oh, of course she can dear " Holly came downstairs a minute later. breakfast went well If not silent before she went upstairs to get her beg she packed last night.
went she came down Petunia was all to happy to help her out the door. " have good time at the sleep over and don't be afraid to ask to stay a little longer ok, have fun! " she pushed Holly out the door and slammed it shut before locking it.
Merope gave her zap before giving a quick kiss to Dudley's cheek and following after Holly. " hold on a bit sweetie, I'll show you how to call the night bus " Holly stopped dead in her tracks. " night bus? " Merope nodded. " yes, it's a bus for wixen people. you call on your magic and the night bus appears. but we should go somewhere more secluded before we do that " they walked to down an empty street corner before Merope called her magic and summoned the night bus.
Holly got on keeping quiet when the bus driver asked her a question. " where you headed kid ? " Holly was nervous now. where were they going? just the she heard her grandma whisper to her. " Little Hangleton, it's your father's rightfully birth home " Holly gulp before she replied " Little Hangleton sir, it where my daddy is " she held on to her backpack while she wore grandm's backpack. he nodded before the bus started to move. " ok kid " Merope smiled and rubbed Holly's arm and whispered to her again. " you did good sweetie " before long the bus landed in Little Hangleton.
when they got out Merope guided her to riddle Manor. Merope phased through and unlocked the door. it looked scary but Holly followed her grandma to a big room called a drawing room, the floor was made of marble with three couch's and tables. the room was dark but grandma said it was good for the potion.
Holly sat down and saw her grandma up her beg and take out to tiny cauldrons and place them on the floor. she was confused when her grandma made them huge again. Holly saw her put in the unicorn blood they brought yesterday and put it into the two cauldrons. fiery Sparks began to fly, she stirred till it became calm. she then pulled something that looked like bone out and put into one of the cauldrons. blue smoke came out. " Holly is your tooth loss enough yet? " Holly wiggled her tooth free and spit out the tiny tooth " yeth grandma " she handed it to Merope who put in the other one. Holly went back to watching and saw the blue smoke again. she took out some odd looking things and put it them in and bright red smoke came out. Merope called Holly over. " ok now poke your finger and drop it in and repeat after me. with the blood that I give. I call upon magic herself to bring the spirits forth . ok sweetie " Holly nodded nervously. she poked her finger and dropped in the blood repeating what her grandmother has said
and the smoke was a blinding white before grandma but in the phoenix feather and the smoke turned silver.
Merope held Holly close when two beings pulled themselves from there cauldrons gasping for air. Lily opened her eyes, she was confused on where she was. she knew she was dead so were was she now? Tom head was reeling. one moment he was wraith living off creatures in Albania and now he's here. instinctively he rubbed his head and paused. he had hands, he had a head. he put his hands on the top of his head and felt hair, hair! he had hair again!
Lily looked around and saw her. a little girl with black hair huddled away from her. she was wearing a green dress with white lace, a gold bow, gold leggings and white mary Jane's. Lily wanted hold her she looked so cute, she wanted to feel like she had Holly back but she was probably being raised by James and his little pure blood whore. she was close to crying at just the thought. what if she was calling her mom now... what if she was happy there. what if she never wanted to see her again...
Tom finally took a look at his surroundings and saw a little girl. he wanted some answers and she just might have some.
" you, girl tell me where I am " Holly perked up. she wanted to look but didn't know if she should. grandma didn't say anything yet. " in little Hangleton " Lily looked over to were the voice was and saw the most handsome man she had ever saw. she noticed he was in a cauldron naked and when look down so was she! she coved her self.
Tom's voice spoke a again " where in little Hangleton? " Merope took opportunity to speak this time " in riddle ManorThomas, where you were meant to be. " Tom and Lily were shocked. who was that and where were they? " Merope showed her self and popped them over some towels to dry off and cover up with. once that was done Merope spoke again. " Holly they're ready to meet you now " Holly turned around and saw them, her parents.
her mother had beautiful fiery red hair. green eyes and freckles like her. she was positively beautiful and her father was handsome. she had her father's black hair it was slightly wavey, he had blue eyes and flawless pale skin. Holly was brimming with excitement to have her parents back. Lily stared at the little girl in disbelief. it was her Holly, she knew it was.
she reached out her hand slowly and touched her hair before pulled her into a hug. she was weeping. it was her Holly. she didn't wanna let her go. Tom was confused who was this little girl. surely it wasn't the Holly he had gone to kill all those years ago. and who was this woman weeping next him, it was kinda disturbing him.
Holly looked up at her mom. " mommy? " Lily looked down and saw those big green eyes and malted. " yes, yes I'm your mom sweetie! " she held her more, she never wanted to let go. Tom's jaw was hanging open. he knew that red now. it was in deed Lily Potter, so that must Holly Potter. he was about to get up when Holly turned to him and lunged at him. " daddy! " he felt a familiar surge of energy enter his body. he was shocked. no that can't be right?. he pushed the hair from her forehead and saw the lightning bolt shaped scar. when he touched he knew that she was his horcrux, he had made a living horcrux. up your old man! he was grinning like crazy. Lily's jaw was on the ground. that wasn't James! who was he?
Merope smiled and spoke up. " Holly why don't you go pick out a room while your parents get themselves settled in, ok ? " Holly smiled " ok grandma " she left the room. to Lily it was lonely without her. she wanted Holly to stay just for little bit longer...
they had transfigured the towels in to suitable clothes for now. Tom took a deep breath. " we need answers " Lily nodded
" I know this is awkward but I'm lily, nice to meet you " so she didn't recognize me. " I'm Tom, Tom riddle " Lily held out her hand with a smile " evens, nice meeting you " evens? didn't she mean Potter?
they soon left the room. Lily went straight to Holly to bond with her. tom followed wanting to see. Lily was crying and holding her, say how much she loved her.
Tom soon left and talked to spirit who seemed to skirt around some of his answers.
he heard his stomach growl breaking his concentration but that will wait till after lunch. it's been a long time since he had anything good.
