Back to the story………

Harry was swirling around, fast. Blues, greens, and yellows flashed before his eyes. The colour he saw was mostly yellow, though. When at last, the spinning stopped, his feet hit a cold concrete floor.

He looked up at the gloomy house. It seemed even more forbidding now that he was standing in front of it. He heard a thud behind him and turned around to see Piper and Dumbledore standing there, Dumbledore was holding Piper's right forearm, and Piper was wincing with the pain. She looked angry, she obviously didn't want to be there at all.

"Go in then," Dumbledore said, motioning to the battered, old oak door that was ajar in front of them. Harry stepped forward and passed through it, hearing Piper gasp as he did so. Dumbledore went through behind him, still holding a struggling Piper in his grasp. There was shouting up the stairs, Harry went up them and stopped at the doorway of a girl's bedroom. It was full of what would have been cuddly toys, if they hadn't been scorched beyond recognition. A small crying girl, a blonde, who looked about eight, was kneeling on a bed, which looked as though it hadn't been touched by the so-called fire. A dark figure was standing in front of her, a death eater. He had his hood up, hiding his face.

So, the rasping voice came from under the hood, Your family have died at the hand of the Dark Lord. If you don't surrender, you will share the same fate. The voice was chilling, it made the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stand up.

The girl looked up, and Harry recognized the familiar determined electrifying dark green eyes.

"Never,"

You won't live to regret that, the voice said darkly then laughed, if you could call it a laugh.

Avada Kedavra…

It brought it's wand down, but, like in the common room, there was no one there, in front of it anyway.

"Looking for me?" A sweet voice asked, she was behind it. "Let me help you." She flung out her hands, sending the death eater into the opposite wall with a crash. The death eater groaned, then moved no more.

Harry's eyes widened as he watched the girl run out of the room, still crying, pack some stuff from around the house, then run straight through Piper who was still struggling with Dumbledore at the front door. She shuddered as though her whole body had been plunged into a bucket of ice-cold water.

The scene changed. It was the same girl, though, it didn't seem that long after the first memory. Her hair was turning darker and she dodged through the sewers of an unknown city. It was wet, not that it bothered Harry. As he was in a memory, it didn't affect him at all. It was hard to keep up with the girl, though. It was like she didn't want to stop running, like if she did something bad would happen and, as much as Harry's legs were killing him, he didn't want her to stop. In fact, he found himself urging her on. She carried a small, purple bag that swung a lot as she ran. She kept glancing over her shoulder now and again, checking to see if she was being followed. He looked behind to see if Piper and Dumbledore were still following. Sure enough, they were quite a way behind though, it seemed like Dumbledore was performing a spell on her. It will make things easier, Harry found himself thinking.

The girl stumbled, them fell heavily onto the floor. Tears flowed unchecked down her cheeks. She made no noise though, moving silently even when running. She quickly stood up, then started running again.

She skidded to a halt when she saw light above. A ladder was along the wall, she quickly went up it, almost falling every now and then. She paused when she got to the top, looking out for more people. Harry hurried to keep up with her, it was proving very difficult. He got to the top and passed through the manhole-cover. He came out in an alley, where the girl had stopped for breath. He heard Dumbledore and Piper come up after him. Piper was biting her lip nervously. She crouched down next to the miniature her (apart from the hair of course) and looked straight into her eyes. The girl sighed and put her head in her hands. Even more tears flowed down her cheeks. As the girl gasped for breath, Piper found herself thinking, Here's where I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

The girl stood up, then ran out of the alley into the busy street. It looked like London. Harry, Piper and Dumbledore hurried after her. They saw the girl bump into a very tall man who bent down and whispered something into her ear. Harry caught a glimpse of his face, it was Lucius Malfoy. The girl looked into Lucius' face and firmly shook her head, frowning as she did. Lucius grabbed the girl's wrist and led her off.

Harry saw the scene change before his eyes. It was still the same day, but Lucius had taken the girl into a dark, secluded building. His eyes met her gaze and Harry overheard most of the conversation.

"We've had some difficulty finding you, girl." The girl glared at him, fear shining in her eyes.

"So what if you have?" She muttered, wiping the tears of fear off her face and looking at the floor. "What do you want me for anyway?" Lucius knelt down next to her, looking into her face.

"Join him."

"I told you, never."

"It will make things easier."

The girl ran towards the door only to find Lucius blocking her path. Harry heard a small whimper and turned around to see Piper crying silently, with Dumbledore trying desperately to comfort her. The girl flung out her hand, making Lucius fly into the door, opening it. She then ran through the door and over the now-unconscious Lucius.

The scene changed again. This time Harry found himself in a welcoming home, not a wrecked one. A plump woman shouted up some stairs for 'Elizabeth'. The same girl, purple-haired this time, who looked about twelve now, ran down the stairs.

"What now?"

"Don't speak to your mother like that." A cross, farm owner said, walking in.

"She is not my mother." The girl shouted at them. "And you're not my father. Both my parents are dead." The foster parents faces immediately softened.

"They might not be dear," The woman said, softly. "You were found on the orphanage's doorstep two years ago. Your parents may be looking for you." The man nodded.

The girl just rolled her eyes. "Okay then, sorry. What did you call me for?" She directed the question at the woman. The woman glanced worriedly at the man before starting to speak.

"Well, dear." She began, "I was wondering if you might like a little sister." The girl looked shocked. Clearly she was not expecting this.

"What? You're-" The woman shook her head.

"No dear, that's impossible. You know I can't bear a child. But we can adopt another girl for you if you want. It must get boring being the only child here." The girl just shrugged.

"Suppose so." With that, she ran back up the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The scene changed again. Harry found himself in a second wrecked house. This looked familiar. The last scene, this was the same house. The purple-haired girl stood at the door. Her eyes were wide as she looked at the wreckage around her. Again she had survived the destruction, was this just a coincidence? Harry didn't think so. A loud crack echoed off the walls as another dark figure appeared in front of her.

"Get away from me." The girl shouted at the figure, who paused for a minute, then decided against it. It pointed it's wand at her instead. The girl glared at it.

"Don't try to use that trick on me," She snapped, her eyes narrowing. "Or, you might just live to regret it." The figure paused again. Harry realized what was happening. This was the original death eater that tried to get her to surrender to Lord Voldermort. The girl, Piper he knew she was now, was just bluffing. The figure figured that out too.

Crucio, it muttered. Piper obviously wasn't prepared for it this time as she writhed on the floor as the charm hit her. Harry heard the older Piper scream, like she was going through the pain all over again. Of course, as they were in a memory, no one apart from Harry and Dumbledore could hear her.

The figure leaned over the young Piper.

What about now? Piper determinedly shook her head. Blue and yellow sparks flew around her as she transported upstairs. The figure shook his head.

Damn that girl.

It started to glide up the stairs meeting the stern face of Piper at the top. She flung her hand out at it, making it topple over and roll all the way down the stairs. She ran down the stairs, over the death eater, and out of the door with the purple bag in her hand.

The scene changed again. The young Piper was still twelve, no doubt about that, but her hair had turned black. Harry looked around. They were in a car and there were two people in suits driving. They looked like solicitors and were straight-faced. The car itself wasn't moving that fast, but Harry had a feeling it would end in death. Sure enough, the car swerved off the road, startling Piper. The driver, however, seemed to have no control over the steering wheel, which made Harry very suspicious. The car then drove over a cliff, which was quite a way from the road, even though it only took them a couple of seconds to get there. Harry was shocked, and, by the looks of it, so was Piper. Sparks flew around her, as she transported back to the cliff.

Harry found himself with her, after all, this was Piper's memory, not the solicitors'. They watched as the car fell and crashed into the bottom. Tears were rolling down Piper's face, she had seen too much death already. Strong arms grabbed her, and, before she could react, she was transported to the death eaters' headquarters.

When Harry and Piper arrived, he saw Dumbledore and Piper already there. Dumbledore strode up to him.

"What happened?" He asked Harry. Harry just shook his head.

"I'll tell you later, sir." He said, as Voldermort appeared.
