when Holly got back home she was a little nervous to ask her parents about pier's dad. but that got her thinking about her friends at school, about Dudley, the cat that lives in the box by her school, her grades...
she put on some clean clothes and she went to her parents at dinner. " mommy, daddy I need to ask you something. " Tom and Lily looked at her and Holly didn't really look at them but at her plate. " what Is it Suger plum? " Tom said as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. lily rubbed her arm. " you tell us sweetie " Holly looked at her before she took a deep breath.
" well, me and Dudley have a friend named Piers. I told him about having you both back and I wanna know if we can bring back his dad for him too. " she was nervous at what they might say.
Lily and Tom thought about it, Tom liked the challenge of it and Lily thought it was a great opportunity to get to know Dudley herself, hopefully, he wasn't like either of his awful parents. Holly held her breath when her parents spoke. " already, we'll help him sweetie, but I and your mother will get most of the Ingredients. You just some bone from piers, his father or brother's bone. " she smiled big. thank you, daddy! and I was also wondering about .school, do I go to a new one or the one me a Dudley go to? "Tom thought about. It would do her well to keep her in a familiar school and would tip off Dumbledore if she were to change schools or suddenly wasn't going anymore. Plus starting a new school was a Hassle anyway and this away no one would know anything is wrong.
Lily thought about it. She didn't want Holly away from her but she did Need an education and friends. She didn't like it but it's what Holly needed not what she wanted. " well I wouldn't mind if you went to your old school, Tom you? " Tom put down his fork and smiled. " of course you can keep going there and after or on the weekend we'll learn about Wixen history. " Holly smiled wide and nodded her head. " thank you mommy and daddy! " she hugged both of them and ate her dinner.
When Peter got Sirius to his home his mother was in a good bit of hysterics when seeing Sirius in her home but didn't do much to have him leave. Peter took Sirius to the washroom to get clean " Sirius I should tell you that..." he was wanted to tell him that Voldemort had Lily and Holly at his home and that he brainwashed Lily and Holly into being his family but he was far more scared of Lily, she was always the best shot in school and by god was she terrifyingly creative with her spells. Sirius looked at him and he lost all nerve to tell him " that, dinner well be ready soon, you get all clean and don't worry about a thing " Sirius smiled and got into the bath when peter left. Everything was fishy when he was put in Azkaban.
They asked him Questions that were misconstrued and they put words into his mouth. After that fraudulent trial was over and he was sent to Azkaban, everything was fishy. Dumbledore was insistent that he had kidnapped his own goddaughter and that load of bollocks about him resisting arrest. And if it really was Voldemort why let James live? Why didn't he have backup? Why didn't Peter suffer the curse for betraying Jame's family? What was really happened that night.
The next morning Holly got up early and got dressed while her grandma did her hair. " you look so cute today sweetie " Merope liked to do her hair in the morning after breakfast but Holly said she was going back to school so she was helping her get ready. She loved helping her in the morning she Especially like the green and silver outfit that she was wearing differently Slytherin today. She must be copying her father. It made her smile thinking about it. She was wearing a green dress like top, white leggings, and silver shoes. Her hair was in cute pigtails.
Merope smiled as she ran off for breakfast. Merope popped herself over to the Dursley's to make sure Dudley got to school safely like she had been the whole week " daddy can you take me to school, it's Monday and I don't wanna miss " Tom smiled and nodded. " of course sweetheart, after breakfast, we'll get your backpack and lunch ready. " Holly smiled before looking a bit confused. " are you going to pick me up after school too? " Tom smiled warmly. " yes I will sweetie " he bent over and kissed the top of her head. She leaped up from her seat and hooked her arms around his neck. " I love you daddy! " Tom held her and rubbed her back. " I love you too sweetie, now let's eat so that we can get ready. " Holly jumped back to her seat " ok daddy " she smiled as they both ate.
After breakfast Holly got her backpack together while her mom got her lunch together before she and her father went out the door, he held her hand and walked her to an empty bus stop. He took out his wand and called the night bus.
When they got on the same bus driver as before Had recognized her "I see you found your dad " the man said as he went to drive off. " yep and daddy's taking me to school, I'm excited! " the bus driver laughed at the girl's Enthusiasm. " not a lot of kids are as happy as you are about going to school " Holly smiled as her father padded her head. " yes, my little dolly loves to learn. " Holly had smiled before she got distracted and didn't hear what the driver had said next. " dolly is that short for Dahlia? " the bus driver ask, Tom thought about it. He liked the name. And when he saw that Holly was busy looking for something in her bag, he took his chance. " yes it's her mother's favorite flower " Holly popped her head back up Looking victorious as she held out a pencil. " look dad I found the pencil poppy let me Borrow, I forgot to give it back before. But now I can give it back " she was smiling to herself the whole bus ride to school. Tom couldn't help but remember how loved school as well. He was smart and the teachers loved him and seems Holly was the same.
When the bus stopped Holly and her father got off the bus. The bus driver smiled. " you have a pretty name " holly smiled back. " thank you Mr. driver " Holly walked off not noticing her father stay at the buses entrance. " good day Ernie " Tom had walked after Holly as the driver smiled that someone had thanked him with his name.
As soon as Holly got through the front door everyone had Swarmed her with questions as soon as she saw her with her father. Poppy was the closest. " who's he? " Holly looked at him for help. " I'm her father " Tom had said. Everyone was asking more questions before a teacher Dispersed the students and got them to class. " love you daddy. " she, Dudley, and her friends went to class before piers asked her a question and whispered. " so what did your parents say? " Holly had nodded. " yes, mom and dad will get everything else but you have to be there to help " she whispered back as he nodded. " thanks hols " " no problem "
Tom went to the front desk. " hello, I'm Holly's father " the woman looked confused before her hand was on the Emergency call button for the police. " aren't you and your wife dead?... " Tom shook his head. " no me and my wife got into a bad accident with a drunk driver. It took us a while to recover and we barely had a fighting chance. But we're back and Holly's with us now, I still can't believe so many people thought us dead. " the woman relaxed her hand and looked at him with pity. " I'm so sorry to hear that but at least you're ok now. " he nodded " yes thank goodness and I wanted to say I'll be picking up Holly after school " the front desk woman nodded. " ok sir have a good day " Tom left and popped back home. Lily was waiting for him while she was reading a book. " I've informed the school that we're Holly's parents and it didn't take much convincing " Lily nodded " thank you, Tom "
When Sirius got up that morning he had washed up and eaten breakfast before he got himself ready for the day. He was excited to see Lily again to ask her what happened, how did she come back? who brought her back? but that could wait until later.
When the clock struck noon is when they left, peter took his hand and Apparitied him to a nice-looking office. While they were there Tom had heard them enter his home. " Lily I have a surprise for you " she put down her book. " what would that be Tom? " he helped her up off the couch. " you'll see " he walked Lily down the Corridor and to his office. He listened as black was wondering where Lily was. He opened the door and watched as Lily looked shocked before running to him and black catching her in that hug. " Sirius! " he yelled with glee. " Lily!" she yelled back The two were Babbling to each other. " I missed you so much, little sis. " Lily held him close, scared that if she let go he'd disappear once again.
Black hadn't noticed Tom was there yet. He must have had his brain get back on track. " how did you get back? Who brought you back. How'd you get Holly? Who's home is this? " he was firing off the Questions at Lily still not noticing him. Lily smiled as he answered him. " Holly helped bring us back, Holly also more or less found us, and this his tom's home " Sirius looked confused. " us but?...and who's Tom?... "
he finally noticed Tom was in the room and turned to him. " are you tom? " yes he replied with a smirk. Sirius looked at her with worry. " Peter you may leave I have some important things to discuss with Mr. Black " Sirius was confused before he got worried when Peter looked at him with guilt before he left.
