Harry looked around him. He noted that it was a first birthday party in a hall. As he passed one of the tables, he saw a cake that read, 'Happy 1st Birthday, Elizabeth!' So now he knew who's birthday it was. He scanned the room and found the woman from the locket.

"Do you expect them, Gloria?" a large, pale woman asked. She had long, black hair.

"Of course, I do. Jack always keeps his word, Dawn." It was said with quiet dignity and confidence.

Harry gulped as he realized that they were talking about his grandfather.

"Did he say if he was bringing anyone?" Dawn asked.

"Why, I do believe he did. He was bringing his eldest and his family," Gloria answered.

"They have a little boy about the same age, don't they?"

They conversed a little while longer. Harry saw another woman who must have been the Dawn's mother. She wasn't quite as pale, and her hair was brown. She was talking to a very thin man with a large nose.

Harry walked over by them, filled with curiosity.

"Are you really going to pay me the hundred grand?" the man asked.

"Latronis, do you doubt my word?"

"Begging your pardon, Nita, but you are the one who is going to trick your family and kill the girl," Latronis commented.

Nita made a thoughtful sound. "I suppose you're right. But that bastard should have known that I would have vengeance for putting that unclean life into the world. I will pay you in cash tomorrow. You know where my house is."

Latronis looked delighted. "You do know that I am also one of those unclean lives, right?"

"Of course. You just chose to make the world a better place. I can't condemn you for that, now, can I?"

"Though you've tried."

The two laughed gaily as though he made some hilarious joke. It made Harry sick to think that they were talking about killing someone with that kind of attitude. Not wanting to hear anymore, Harry stepped back over by Gloria, who had an infant on her lap. After a minute, Harry realized it was Elizabeth.

"Gloria," said Dawn, "they're here."

Two men with black hair that was sopping wet walked in with a woman and a baby. The baby had the same black hair, and large green eyes.

"Jack, you've brought James and his family. How wonderful!" Gloria stood up and embraced Jack.

Harry had to look away. A lump caught in his throat at the sight of his parents. They were young and happy.

"That wasn't all I brought," Jack grinned. Three other men came in from the rain. Harry instantly recognized them from old photos as Remus, Sirius, and Wormtail.

A line of curses went through Harry's head and were said before he knew what he was doing. Unfortunately, this was only a memory, and Harry's curses did nothing to the drenched, smiling rat.

"So glad you let us come!" he exclaimed.

"Always a pleasure to have James' friends around," Gloria smiled.

"That's only because you don't know them well enough," Lily commented jokingly. She took the baby out of his stroller and put him on her shoulder. "Gloria, meet Harry."

"Aren't you the most darling boy?"

The older Harry squirmed uncomfortably as he watched the woman dote on him. He saw Elizabeth wave at the baby in Gloria's arms. A jolt shot through Harry as the little boy waved back with a smile on his face.

"Gloria, you're monopolizing Elizabeth, again!" Nita said, bustling over to them.

"Oh, am I? Terribly sorry, Nita. You can take her." Gloria was still playing with Lily's son, who seemed to adore her.

Only the older Harry saw the smirk of triumph on Nita's face as she roughly picked up Elizabeth. Harry quickly followed her out the hall and into the rain. Elizabeth now started crying, but no one inside could hear because of the storm.

Latronis sneaked outside and scanned the horizon with his shifty eyes.

It was then Harry realized they meant to kill Elizabeth. With horrid desperation, he tried to do something, anything that would make someone notice what they were doing.

To his relief, the door opened, and Sirius poked his head out. "Er…Something's going on inside that they need Elizabeth for. Can you bring her in, please?"

"Right," Nita nodded.

Harry let out the breath he hadn't noticed he'd been holding. When they got inside, Dawn and Lily were holding flowers. 'Hey, Dawn's got my daisy,' he thought. Lily held a rose that matched her eyes. 'And there's Elizabeth's rose.'

After an odd ceremony, the flowers were switched, and given to the babies.

"Gloria, I know I'm a muggle, and I don't understand most of the rituals, but will this affect their lives when they're older? I mean, was some spell on those flowers that'll make them…Oh, I don't know…fall in love, maybe, even if they weren't destined to?" Dawn questioned.

Gloria sighed and looked and Elizabeth. "Of course not, Dawny. They might not even see each other, again. One of these days I'll have to explain destiny to you. It's pretty much the same for muggles and wizards, especially with the fact that one must stay true to destiny, and there's nothing you can do about it." The light in Gloria's eyes died, and sadness replaced it. She stole a glance at Jack, who was talking animatedly with James and Lily about when James was a little baby.

At that moment, Nita returned. "Oh, I just can't get enough of this little doll!" she exclaimed as she grabbed Elizabeth. She made to walk outside with her, again. The storm hadn't stopped, and it was going well into eight thirty at night.

This time, Harry saw Gloria's eyes harden with dislike and horror. He knew that she knew what was going to transpire. Though why she was doing nothing escaped him.

Harry ran to catch up with Nita and Latronis. "Now. Now. Now. Now." It was a mantra for Nita. A mad glint and sadistic smile disfigured her face. She put the child down and laughed hysterically. "I shall go in and say some barbarian took her from my arms!"

Latronis took out his wand. "Avada—"

"Oh, no, you don't! Avada Kadavra!"

A familiar green light, intensified by two, blinded Harry for a second. When it receded, he saw two dead bodies and a crying baby. A ghost seemed to come out of Latronis' body and entered Elizabeth's little body. Helpless, Harry stood there, not knowing how a ghost could kill a living body.

The girl screamed louder, and a white light shot out from her left hand that engulfed her completely. The last thing Harry saw was Latronis' ghost emerge, red as fire, and then descend below the ground.

(A/N: Yes…Since school is out this story will continue a bit faster, now….. I don't see any of you shouting for joy…Hmm…A/N's will be here from now on…and I don't think I'll continue having the previews…I'm getting very lazy. ..

Naja607: I'm very sorry. I just couldn't write. School was agonizing and horrible. Ya know what, I'll just end your misery. She was Rose from Titanic. I didn't describe her well enough so don't worry if you think you should have known it. Ummm…my…uh…money doesn't stretch that far…They only gave me 450$ scholarship and I can't pay for it. I'm going to have to go to Argo. Sorry. I would have loved to go to the same high school as you but money sucks booty. Thanks for reviewing! Hope you liked this chapter!)
