Chapter 3.

"What's up with Harry? He looks flushed." James said concernedly as he looked at the baby in Lily's arms.

"I hope he's not coming down with a fever." Lily said, worried.

"That's not possible!" James said in surprise, "he was as energetic as a light bulb half an hour ago!" he peeked at his
watch, "the knight bus I booked is about to arrive. Let's go."

Lily looked back at the empty house. "Now, Lily," James comforted her as he wrapped his arm around Lily and Harry, "I'm
sure our new house will be just as fine as this one and we'll be all living in peace and harmony." Lily nodded and waited
by the door without looking back.

"Tick...tock...tick..." James' watch beamed. He started to fidget. Lily, on the only hand, stood motionlessly.

"Prr..." the noise of engine sounded from above. "Time to go." James said softly.

The bus stopped dead in the middle of the road. Before neither Lily or James could react a tall figure of a person in
black robe and was hooded stepped down the bus. He stood still. Lily and James stood there and stared back, perplexed. Then
the person took down his hood. They stared at him.

"LILY! IT'S HIM! RUN WITH HARRY! RUN!"
