After Tom's meeting, he had thought of what would happen to Holly and Lily. He didn't want word to get out that holly was in his home. Someone might get the bright idea to " help " be rid of his so-called problem.

But he wanted to what happened to James, why did he cheat on lily, what happened after he was defeated? He'll look into what happened in the last four years. But for now, he wanted to spend time with both of them. He followed the sound of small explosions to the basement. He opened the thick wooden door and saw lily and holly fixing and adding charms to the old kitchen appliances. So far the microwave and oven worked, they now worked off of the magic and energy of the home. To say the least, he was very impressed.

When holly saw him she ran to him " daddy! " she called as she tackled him, nearly sending him toppling over. " growing up so much " as soon as he said that a small memory popped up. A woman with soft, big curls just barely spilled over her shoulder, she was coming more into view. She wore a sea blue tunic top dress with black buttons, tailored black pumps, black gloves, a blue clutch purse, and a blue basketella hat with black Ribbons. She came closer to him with a grin " you're growing up so much Thomas dear, one day you'll outgrow your bed and your toy. " the memory left him befuddled. Who was that woman? How did she know him? Why did she call him dear? He looked at holly who was telling him about what they did " and them me and mommy made the blinder blow up! " lily looked at holly with a fiend look of betrayal as she cleaned up the mess " that was a Secret how could you holly! to your own mother " holly giggled " it was funny mommy "

He watched as lily Taught Holly how to add charms to the desired appliance, lily even thought of a way to add an ice charm to the icebox so it will never run out of ice for it and make it into a modern Muggle refrigerator. Tom thought that was Extraordinary thinking. Lily truly Had a knack for thinking outside of the box. She could take something broken at use for something Grand.

They spent the rest of the day adding charms and such to the appliances. So far it's working out well. When dinner time came around everyone was in high spirits. Holly was happily telling Merope about today's events, Merope Listen to Holly intently with a smile. Dinner was a lively affair for all. After dinner holly hugged him and ran to her room to charm her room. Lily ran to help her and Merope went to watch. Tom went to his study to read. Before he knew it. His eyes were getting heavy and his mind was going lax. He didn't notice he had nodded off in his chair.

" Tom woke up in a warm bed and a nice blanket coved him. He got up and looked around and saw Toys were everywhere in the room. When he left the room he saw the brightly lit hallway and heard music from down the hall. When he followed he saw the woman from before in a light yellow morning gown and a man Who looks like Clark Gable in a morning coat at the breakfast table. The woman looked beautiful. She seemed to have noticed and smiled at him. " how did you sleep honey " Tom didn't know what was going on but he sat down on the chair. " you'll be eight soon Tom, what do you wanna do this year. We can go to the park or the zoo? " the woman was smiling as she ate. The man pipped up. " Dorothy the boy just got up, Let him eat first before go blow your wig about his birthday comin' up " the playfully hit his arm. " Johnnie you know it's a big deal for mom to celebrate her son's birthday " she pitched his cheek, he wanted to Retaliate. But he felt happy and safe. Like he was worth something. He smiled big and Ruffled his hair. He was shocked when he heard himself laugh " dad, I'll be eight soon. I'm a big boy, you can't Ruffle up my hair " the man grinned " oh really? " he ruffled up Tom's hair again as he laughed more. " mom help! " the woman was trying not to grin " y-you're on your own dear " he laughed as she spoke. Everything thing was perfect. But when they left in the car that spring morning. He had a horrible déjà vu moment like this is all happened before. And then, there was a huge crush. The woman used her body as a shield from the impact of the shattered glass. The man lost his head and Tom was left alone back at the steps of wool's orphanage. And in the blink of an eye, he was much older and he was in Professor Dumbledore's office. He was there to help with a prank to get back at him for blaming him for every little thing he didn't do. He opened up one of the desk drawers. He had a small pensive with a memory in it. Maybe he can use it for blackmail against dumbledore. He opened up and saw a bit of the Memory. What caught him off guard was seeing his younger self and his parents in the car. His mother was in the back with him, his father was driving upfront and there were some picnic supplies next to him in the other seat. Dumbledore lit up his wand and aimed at the back tires. " I'm sorry my boy... but you need to go back to where you belong. " he fired his wand and the horrible sound of a car crashing fill his ears. He was shaking and crying. His parents were dead because of him. And then Dumbledore entered the room his wand was ready to fire. " you. You took my parents from me! " Dumbledore only looked annoyed and sighed." I knew I should've put that damned pensive somewhere else. " they fought shortly before Tom lost his Balance as the wand was kicked away. " why, why did you kill them! " Tom yelled as tears ran down his face " I might as well say this before I Wipe your memory of this whole incident. Yes, I did kill your Adoptive parents, you see I Couldn't let them interfere with my grand plans. I plan to make a new dark lord, to keep the world fawning and fearing the name Albus Dumbledore. You were perfect, an orphan from a Pili piss poor orphanage from Pili piss poor town. Abused and neglected by everyone. The bastard son of a rich man and an ugly whore Daughter of the Slytherin line. You wore made to be the next dark lord " Tom screamed no before He saw a bright light and remember nothing.

He woke up somewhere else. The place looked familiar and then he remembered. He's In his room, he didn't have time to think about it before he heard Holly and lily yelling for him. They sounded like they were In danger. He ran from the room and down a dark and dim hallway. and Albus was sitting there " I'm sorry but I can't allow the dark lord to have a family or know love. Otherwise, he won't be as Vicious as I need him to be and I need people to think he is Dangerous. Lily was yelling at him. Calling him a crazy power Obsessed old man. Holly was crying for her daddy. Dumbledore fired up his wand and aimed. " NO" he screamed before both holly and lily fell to the floor. He ran and picked up Holly " you're a monster Dumbledore " Albus shook his head " no riddle, I'm a businessman is all "

Tom woke up in a cold sweat. The first thing he wanted to do was check on Holly. He rushed to holly's and found her asleep in her bed. He walked in and kissed her head before checking on lily. He saw that she was in her bed crying in her sleep " he's can't take her. Not my holly..., not my baby. give her back, you and your mistress can't have my baby... James where is she,... where is my baby... " he woke her up and bolted up Immediately. Tom Decided not to mention the dark Lord part when he recounted his nightmare to lily. Lily told him about the dream she just had and the one before. Tom held her and knew he had to tell her soon. Not just to keep them safe but holly as well.
