Lani, Eliza, and Will started towards Harry, who was looking around nervously. "Okay... you guys have to get your selves out quickly, before Voldemort comes back... if he does. But I think he's gone", Eliza and Will flinched, Lani decided to ignore it.
Harry picked up the twig and muttered something. "alright... I made this portkey for the front doors of Hogwarts." He looked at one nervous face to the other, with his own, bruised and scratched one and added "Let's get outta here before you get in trouble with Dumbledore. I know him, and I know he wouldn't give you permission to come here."
"Naive, Potter. So naive..."
Everyone spun around, and whipped their wands out. oh. great. I'm dead now, I am so bad at magic, how am I related to my father? Lani thought.
"Well," Voldemort began. "Your father and your mother--"
"Tom" Harry growled through gritted teeth.
"I didn't actually want you to answer my question! and ... get out of my head!"
Voldemort laughed a high, cold laugh. "Tom?" Lani added, she was feeling unusually braveā¦. Or was it foolish?
"That's his name" Harry said in a fatherly tone, yet his ace was still contorted in anger at Voldemort.
"Tom Riddle, is my god-forsaken muggle father's name. Not mine" Voldemort spat. "Why am I having a conversation with you, when I could be killing you? Moving right along..." He pulled out his wand and drew his breath to utter a curse.
Someone screamed: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". Lani spun around to see who was screaming, then realized that everyone, including Voldemort, was staring straight at her.
She was screaming, but It wasn't her voice; it was a woman's voice... coming out of her mouth. strange. But before Lani had time to think on it, Voldemort yelled
"SLOWREQUIESCAT!"
"NO!" Not Harry!" The voice was coming from Lani's mouth again. Was she possessed? Why was she calling her dad 'Harry' But somehow, comprehension dawned on Harry's face.
And without a queue from her brain, Lani sprung in between Harry and Voldemort, the spell slamming her in the stomach. She felt as if part of her was leaving, then crumpled to the ground, her body searing with pain. She felt cold, the very hot, followed by a feeling of more searing pain.
"AVADA KADAVRA!" A green beam of light shot over Lani's head, she winced, her father had to be dead. But when she opened her eyes she saw Voldemort, now free of a smile, glaring at Harry.
"An auror... using an unforgivable?" Voldemort said in mock disbelief, he had obviously disappeared and reappeared when Harry had attempted to kill him. "Naughty Harry wants to go to Azkaban?"
"Shut it, Tom" Harry hissed. "Nobody, hurts my daughter."
"Well...I really must be going now. I guess it's just not your day to die, Harry." Then Voldemort looked at Lani and added. "It's hers." Then disappeared.
