Chapter 8

The Act of the Prophecy



"Lil, she's beautiful." James said from behind her. He was looking at his new daughter, Valerie Alyssa Potter.

"I say she looks like you." Lily said, turning her head in different directions to see her daughter.

"Hmm. Maybe. But-."

"Excuse me you two, it's time for us to weigh and clean her up for you." The nurse said

Lily nodded in unison, and took a good stare at her daughter, then gave her up.

"James, will you send a letter to Harry and Lillian to tell them the good news." She said on a cheerful voice,

"Okey dokie pokie." He said, and started to write on a piece of parchment.

"6 pounds 11 ounces!" the doctor yelled to Lily and James from the background. Lily just smiled. She looked out the window. A tear went down her pale face. It was Christmas Day. Only about 7 more months with her child; her children. She wished she wouldn't have to leave like this, but it's the exact same thing she said to Lillian…The dead can't stay forever…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



"Lil, I don't get this." Kelsey looking at her potions book. Unrewardingly, she didn't know it was upside down.

"It's upside down genius." Lillian said, fixing the book for her.

"Ooooooooohhhhhhhh." Kelsey said, and for no reason at all, she started laughing like sponge bob.

Lillian looked up from her book and raised her eyebrows. "Kelsey what have you been smoking lately?"

"I dunno, but a friend with weed, is a friend indeed!"

Both of them started laughing continuously until Hedwig crashed through the window.

"You know you could at least tap on the window." Lillian told it, knowing it could understand her. She took off the parchment off of Hedwig and read to Kelsey:

Dear Harry and Lillian,

Guess what! Your sister ended up being born on Christmas.

Now its 12:45 and I know I would be the last one to be

worried but GO TO BED! (That goes for you too Kelsey…)

Kelsey blinked

Adios mucho!

Prongs

"I have a litter sister!" Lillian screamed, and then covered her mouth, remembering everyone was asleep.

Kelsey started to frown "But Lil."

"Yeah?"

"Don't you have a sister already?"

"What do you mean?"

"The one born a year after you and Harry…"

"I-I-I don't remember…"

"The one who looks exactly like you, Janelle Rosemarie Potter. Ring a bell?" Kelsey said, starting into Lillian's watery green eyes…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



"Wake up!" Marine yelled at Lillian. Since it didn't work, she kicked her off the bed.

"Ooooffff!"

"Oops! Sorry. What's with your eyes?" Marine asked.

Lillian's eyes were red and puffy. She had bags under her eyes and it looked as if she had cried herself to sleep. "N-nothing really."

Marine raised her eyebrows "Trust me. It's something."

"What ever happened to Janelle?"

"Who-?"

"MY SISTER!"

"Jinkies! What's wrong with you?"

"Sorry. It's just, why."

Marine looked at her awkwardly. "Why what?"

Lillian started to cry "Why does my life have to be so messed up like this? Why did my parents have to die? Why did Voldemort kidnap me? Why is Janelle missing? Why does everything bad happen to me, while I didn't do anything?"

Marine just stared at her "Well, you know that good things can't happen all the time. Look at my parents! C'mon and lets go downstairs. Trust me, I'm not the best person to cheer up people, but maybe that will." She pointed down the staircase and Lillian saw-

"SIRIUS!" she jumped down the stairs and gave him a bear hug.

"Lillian-oxygen-bones-breaking-slowly-dying-."

She immediately let go and covered her mouth "Oh my god Sirius! What are you doing here! Your lucky most of the people left for winter break already! They would have caught you."

Sirius smiled and gave her the "The Daily Prophet" and on the front page it said:

Sirius Black ¿Innocent?



"Tightly in his hands was a fat rat squeaking, trying to get free. Many ministry officials cornered Black, and told him to surrender. He said "hear me out, first." After many arguments, the finally agreed that they'll let him speak, but was under tight security. He had a wand with him, and when he did a spell, many people panicked, but stopped with shock when seeing what used to be a rat. Peter Pettigrew, who was the Potter's secret keeper and gave their information the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. He was sent to Azkaban for life sentencing for murdering 12 muggles, and Sirius Black will be arriving to the Ministry Office today for our Forgiveness Ceremony."

-Cassandra Agostinalli, reporter

"Forgiveness Ceremony?" Lillian asked

"Oh, that. For them putting me into imprisonment for 13 years, they said they'll build me a house, my choice, 100,000 Galleons, a buffet, and custody of my family, and-."

At that point Marine spit out her hot chocolate she made during reading the article "Excuse me, your family?"

"Yeah…" Sirius stared at her "My wife Serena and my daughter Taylor."

"Whoa…"Marine just stood there, gawking at him

"Anyway, did mum and dad tell you the news?" Lillian asked him, and then closed Marine's mouth.

"Yeah! Congrats Lil."

"Thanks."

At that moment, two pairs of footsteps were coming from the boy's staircase. It was Ron and Harry. Harry stopped dead when he saw Sirius, causing Ron to smash into him.

"Harry! What's-." When Ron looked in front of him, he finally figured out what was up.

"Sirius?!?" They both said together.

"Hiya Harry and Ron. How have you been?"

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked

"Read this." Sirius showed Harry the paper.

Harry started to read it and when he was done, he looked up and smiled "That's great!"

"Yeah, I know. And you know what that means, right?"

"Noooo…"

Sirius sighed "You get to live with me. Leave the Dursley's…"

A little explosion went off in Harry's head "REALLY!" He yelled and Marine finally got out of the trance.

"Whoa Harry! When'd you get here?"

"You guys!" Lillian said, sitting on the floor with a bunch of presents by the fire. She put on a fake frown "You haven't forgotten what day it is, right?"

They all smiled and sat in a circle. Later on, Hermione and Kelsey came downstairs and joined them. They went through the whole process again. But when everything was thoroughly explained, they started on the presents.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



"So, this prophecy, are you sure everything here is going to happen?" Sirius asked

"I dunno. Dumbledore told us the day we came here." Lillian replied to him

"Prophecy?! Who wrote it? Out of curiosity." Marine asked

"Some person named Beyonce Riddle Snape. BEYONCE!" Lillian's eye's widened

"WHAT?!? MY MUM!" Marine yelled

"So?" Harry asked "What's the problem"

"That woman is why I was made a death eater today Harry. She's such a slut. Flirting with all the adults (Men people). It's A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G, annoying!" Lillian answered him

"But, the scariest part of all-"Marine started to talk "Is that she's hardly NEVER wrong. She's always right. But I know that prophecy by heart let me read it."

Marine read aloud:

'There are two twins

With complete different minds,

One shall be the heir of Voldemort. ("RUBBISH! No that I'm proud of it, but I'm that heir!" Marine said)

And the other will fight the Dark Lord,

While their parents MIGHT ("Notice how I stressed out that word MIGHT") perish to a great beyond.

Their friend shall die in agony,

While one left to help their friends & family

The Dark Lord will die and NEVER interfere.'

"That's it, all the corrections." Marine said, looking it over.

"You sure?" Sirius asked, looking at her sternly.

"Yes, I am. Positive."

A bunch of sighs were heard in the room, what they didn't know was that someone was watching them…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"James, go get my stuff out of the closet." Lily asked him. At that same moment, the nurse came into the room.

"Mrs. Potter, are you ready to leave now? If you are, just sit in the wheelchair."

Lily did as she was told and motioned James to hurry up. When they left the room, Lily told James to get Valerie from the nursery. It's a good thing that Lily checked the baby before she left, because that wasn't her daughter. It was a Chinese girl who didn't look a thing like Valerie. James apologized, and walked next to the wheelchair to their way to the carriage back to Hogwarts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"We're back!" Said two voices from the entrance of Gryffindor.

"Mum! Dad!" Cried Lillian coming from downstairs, and then paused in front of them when she saw a tiny baby cuddled up in Lily's arms. Lillian gasped

"Yep, meet your new sister, Valerie Alyssa Potter!" Lily said cheerfully

"Oooooooo! Can I hold her?" Marine said from jumping off of the stairs and next to James.

"Sure Mari." Lily put out her arms to give the child to Marine. (Pronounce "Mari" with a short 'a')

"Aw, she looks just like James." Hermione said, coming from nowhere. As the months have been going by, Hermione and Marine have been getting along quite well these days…

"She does, doesn't she?" Marine said, looking closer

Hermione laughed "Watch her grow up and be exactly like James."

"Oh Jesus!" Lily said, closing her eyes. (A.N.—no offence if your Jewish or anything.)



Lillian looked down "Mum? Dad? Is it true that I have a sister named 'Janelle'?"

Lily and James looked at each other, questionable about what to say. Hermione and Marine stared at both of the 21 year olds, and Valerie was making baby noises in the background

"Um…" They both started and then- "Yes, your right. She was born around in August." Lily said, then frowned "Who told you?"

"Kelsey. It took a while for me to remember though."

James sighed "Look, we're sorry. To tell you the truth, I have no idea where she is now either."

"I know it's not your fault." Lillian said, while looking because of the tear coming from her eye.

Hermione and Marine just stood there

"Wow, my mum was right, you do learn something new everyday." Marine said to herself

"Does Harry know?" Lily asked Lillian

"No, he doesn't"

"Please don't tell him yet."

Lillian looked up and smiled "No, I won't. Oh yeah, you two didn't give me a Christmas present tow days ago."

James blinked "Well, I thought you'd be smart enough to guess what it was! She's in the room right now."

Lillian turned and smiled at her new baby sister.

As told by Lynn Malfoy

I was walking down the corridors. Many people would say I'm crazy, walking when it was below 0 degrees out there. But I didn't care. No one cares for me. I don't even have a friend. Not 1 friend. Just because I'm a Necromancer. So, who cares if I talk to ghosts? Seeing people's souls instead of their bodies. It's almost sad, but it doesn't bother me. Why should I, all of a sudden interfere with the living? I'm perfectly fine the way my life is. It's only a matter of time until people understand me. Its new years, and that also means it's that girl's birthday. What's her name? Oh yeah, Kandias Granata. Turning 16. Whoopee. She and her friends having a party for her in the Great hall, the last day of vacation.

"Hey Lynn, care to join us?" Said a girl with red hair.

I looked up and recognized her from the Gryffindor common room. But I started to get strange vibes from her. I looked at her closely. It was a warm feeling, like I finally found my answer. She still just looked at me, with a bewildered look on her face. For the first time in months, I smiled and joined the rest of them.

"What's the point of have presents Kandias?" Marine said to her "Christmas was 5 days ago."

"So? If my birthday was on Christmas that would be different."

Marine sighed and put her present on the table.

I looked over and saw Professor James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black making explosive party favours. (A/N: in America it would be spelled "Favors")

"Now let's sing!" Kelsey said, while putting on a party hat

And Lily came into the Great Hall, carrying a cake, which Hermione helped her with.

Lily put the cake on the table and lit the candles, and they all sang:

"Happy Birthday to you! (L, M, &K: Cha-Cha-Cha!)

"Happy Birthday to you! (L, M, &K: Cha-Cha-Cha!)

"Happy Birthday, dear Kandias!" (L, M, &K: Cha- Cha-Cha!)

"Happy Birthday to you!" (L, M, &K: And many more!)

Everyone there clapped and cheered when she blew out the candles.

Maybe the living isn't that bad as I thought…

January 26, 2005

2:35 A.M.

A loud explosion could be heard from outside. Hermione woke up and said "James Potter has out done himself this time." She rolled over and went back to sleep

Lillian, having second thoughts, ran to the window and couldn't believe what she saw…

An army of black cloaked people. And in the front, it looked like … Voldemort. Before Lillian got to warn anyone, McGonagall's voice boomed through the walls:

THE SCHOOL IS BEING ATTACTED! EACH HOUSE IS ON LOCKDOWN! STAY IN YOUR ROOMS AND CLOSE ALL WINDOWS. JUST INCASE, HAVE YOUR WANDS READY!

At that, you could hear many people panicking threw the walls.

"What's going on?" Marine mumbled.

"Death eaters." Lillian said, and started to put a bunch of charms on the door.

Most of the girls started to put on the robes and get ready. They had the feeling that this was Voldemort's first choice to attack.

"So, what's the plan if they come in here?" Lavender asked

"Ok, this is what we'll do." Lillian said, and they all huddled in a circle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The 5th year girls' dormitory door blew down.

"Where are you Potter?" Voldemort said from under the hood. The room appeared to be empty.

"NOW!" Hermione shouted

"Wha-?" Voldemort's question was muffled when Parvarti came out of the closet, putting a bag over his head. Lillian spilled a bunch of her marbles she had been collecting onto the floor. Voldemort grabbed his wand and said "Avada Kedavra!" Lillian dodged it and Marine shouted " Stuify!" That's when they stunned Voldemort. They all cheered and hugged each other. Overly excited about what they did.

"Quick Kelsey! Go get McGonagall and Dumbledore. Hurry!" Lillian told her, and the rest of the girls stayed and guarded the Dark Lord.

~*~*~*~*~

"-So we stunned him and I came to get you." Kelsey's voice could be heard coming up the stairs.

"Well, Miss Fudge, your father will be extremely pleased with you. Everyone in your dorm will get a metal and Gryffindor, how many points Dumbledore?" McGonagall said

"I'd say 200 for tackling a man like that. You're every brave girls. No other house would do such a thing." Dumbledore smiled at her

"Thank you, sir."

McGonagall opened the door and looked around the room "Oh-My-Gosh."

At that comment Kelsey and Professor Dumbledore went and looked in the room and both of them gasped.

A/N: There the end of this chapter. FINALLY! I'm sooooooo happy. I've been doing this for 6 hours already. Oh yeah, before in my stories when Sirius was walking around the school, it was mostly night time, and only a few teachers knew about him being innocent. That's all I have to say for now. Oh yeah, I only own my characters. The others belong to the wonderful Joanne Kathleen Rowling!
