Jenny looked at herself in the mirror. Bo was at Grimmauld place with the others. She was left on her own in this house, the bungalow that Remus had brought them to live in. Jenny hated looking at anything that would remind her of Remus. That included Bo, particularly Bo. Bo was the only thing that ever actually belonged to both her and Remus. Everything else was either hers or Remus' and now he was gone. Jenny knew she looked different but after about a week, with her new mission she was feeling better, she was going to try and get some revenge. Her face was beginning to fill out again. She needed to look more like how she used to if she wanted to do what she had planned. She knew it was dangerous and she would probably be killed. Part of her kept telling her that if she died Bo wouldn't have anyone but the other, more dominant part of her suppressed it. Life wasn't worth living without Remus. Jenny had really tried to live without him. She'd tried so many times in her life to live without him but she could never manage it. Jenny sat down on the sofa. She probably wasn't going to see this house again. She didn't know what to do with it.
Everything that belonged to Bo had been sent to Grimmauld place. Anything that belonged to Jenny's friends had been sent to April or Lily. She'd given them her most precious possessions. This was it. Jenny knew what was making her do it. She picked up two photo frames and took out the photos. One of them a photo of Remus when he'd just come out of Hogwarts. Another of them last year, just after the Triwizard event, they'd all gone to visit Jenny's parents in China. She folded them up and put them into her robes. There was a letter on the table as well. She picked it up and went to the garden and whistled for her owl. A large spectacle owl flew out of the woods and landed on her shoulder.
"Take this to Dumbledore." Jenny said quietly. "He'll know what it's about, then once you've done that, go to Grimmauld place. You belong to Bo now." Jenny said. The owl looked at Jenny with what seemed like curiosity. "Go!" Jenny snapped. The owl flew off and over the house. Jenny went into the house again and glanced around. The house still looked like when Remus had been here. She fought back some tears and went to Bo's bedroom. This was the only room that had been stripped bare. Jenny left the door wide open and made sure the windows were closed. She left the room and went to her bedroom. The bed was unmade, the room tidier then it usually was. A few things were missing like a collection of photos above a small fireplace in the room. The photos that usually inhabited the mantle piece were of the Marauders, Jenny and her friends, the children. They'd all been sent to Lily. A few clothes that April had loved had been sent to her. Jenny got out her wand ready to say the spell when her eye caught sight of a glittering red mask on the wall. Jenny went and picked it off the wall. It was the mask from the Glittering Masquerade that James and Lily had organised in their seventh year. About nineteen years ago. Jenny smiled and let some tears fall down her cheek. She pointed her wand at her bed. She had to do it now.
"Incendio!" She said at the bed. A stream of fire shot out of her wand and it set fire to the bed. She waved her wand spreading the fire everywhere. She left the room and went to Bo's room. "Flamora." A ball of fire burst out of the end of her wand. Jenny was knocked back slightly by it. A wave of heat blasted her from the fire. She walked towards the kitchen. She passed the living room. Her broom propped up against the fireplace. A Quidditch cup on the mantle piece, from Hogwarts.
"In-" Jenny stopped, she couldn't but she'd already set the bedrooms on fire. She took a deep breath. "Flamora!" She said. The room exploded in flames. Jenny apparated out of the house and into the garden. The sun was setting and she could see some flames flickering in the house. The fire spread quickly through the house, faster then Jenny expected. She held onto her wand tightly. Her other hand gripping the mask. She looked at it and held it in front of her face looking at it. She shifted her wand into her other hand and held the mask in her other hand. She threw it at the house, smashing a window and going into the kitchen. There was an explosion from inside the house. Jenny was knocked onto her feet. She just stared at the burning house. She couldn't believe what she'd just done. She had just destroyed everything that was precious to her, everything but her son. Jenny stood up slowly as smoke poured out of the house. There was no turning back now. She closed her eyes and apparated to a tall house that was located in Little Hangleton. She walked to the large dark house and pushed open a door. She had taken a few steps into the house when the door suddenly shut behind her. Jenny turned quickly. There was a cloaked figure behind her. The figure was smaller then she was, the person's breathing was laboured and sounded slightly wheezy.
"What are you doing here?" The person asked. Jenny saw a flash of silver and she tried to smile.
"Wormtail." She said with a smile that looked like she was happy to see him.
"Jenny?" The man asked. He lowered his hood and looked at her. He had a small pointed face with watery eyes and a slight bald patch at the back of his head. He looked better when she'd last seen him, but then the last time she had seen him they were both twenty-one and Jenny still trusted Peter Pettigrew with her life.
"Long time no see." She said with a smile. She was surprised at how easy it was to be so friendly to him even though he was the reason that everything she loved was dead, in danger or gone.
"What are you doing here?" Wormtail asked.
"I'm here to see your master." Jenny said with an evil smile. Wormtail smiled and nodded.
"Follow me."
Harry, Bo and Rhia stood at the door peering into the spare bedroom in Grimmauld place. There was something wrong with Lily Potter but no one knew what it was. She was just sitting on the bed in the spare room and she flinched every so often. Sirius was at her side and trying to get her to talk but she didn't seem to be able to see him. Every so often she'd talk to herself or she'd just snap out of it and ask Sirius where she was and where James was. She was in one of these moods right now.
"Where is he Sirius?" Lily demanded.
"I don't know. I've gone to his office to try and get him here. I've even tried to get April here but they're both busy." Sirius said.
"I don't care Padfoot!" Lily said, "I want my husband here now! If you don't get him here I'll go myself." She said getting up. Sirius pushed her back down.
"Not when you're the way you are!" Sirius snapped at her. "Dumbledore's orders are for you to stay where you are. We're got Snape trying to make up a potion for you and James will be here as soon as possible" Lily looked at Sirius sceptically.
"That's what he said to Harry when Harry asked for his advice last year about Cho but Harry had to end up asking Hermione. James isn't reliable like that." Lily said.
"He will come, trust me." Sirius said, "Please Lily. As long as you keep fighting it." Sirius said.
"I have been fighting it. I've been fighting it since I left school!" Lily said. "You try sharing blood with Voldemort." Sirius scowled. Rhia looked up at Harry and Bo. Bo looked slightly confused while Harry was frowning.
"He'll be here soon." Sirius said gently. Lily scowled and picked up a book from the side of her bed.
"Whatever." She muttered.
"Jenny sent you this." Sirius said holding a package that appeared in his hands. Lily looked at it then took it. She unwrapped it to find a green and blue peacock feathered mask and a note that fell to the bed.
"Where did she get this from?" Lily asked quietly. Sirius shrugged. Lily picked up the note and read it quickly. Her eyes growing wider. "Jenny!" she said before apparating. Bo straightened and looked at Harry.
"Apparate to your house." Harry said.
"Alright." Bo said. He was about to apparated when Rhia stopped him.
"Take us with you." She said. Bo held onto Harry and Rhia and with a crack they both apparated illegally to his house. The three stared in horror. The sky was black but it didn't seem like it. Heat was beating down on their faces and fire lighting up their eyes.
"Mum!" Bo shouted as he regained his ability to move. He ran to the burning house.
"JENNY!" Rhia shouted. Harry looked across the garden to where his mum stood. She looked absolutely gobsmacked. Harry made his way over to Lily.
"What did the letter say?" Harry asked. Lily looked at Harry.
"It was a goodbye note." Lily said. She got out her wand and made a powerful and large jet of water shoot out of the end and go into the fire. "She can't die as well." Lily said to herself. "Harry help me." Lily shouted at him. Harry bustled in his clothes and got out his wand and helped Lily try and douse the burning house with water but it wasn't working.
"Mum." Harry said uncertainly. Rhia was watching their attempt anxiously. Bo had disappeared around the other side of the house. Lily closed her eyes again, she looked a bit like earlier when she had been holding her head and muttering to herself about something. Harry stopped as Lily lowered her wand.
"She's ok." Lily said.
"Huh?" Harry asked.
"Jenny, she's ok." Lily told him. "Rhia, go and get Bo." Lily said. Rhia nodded and ran around the house.
"What's happened?" Harry asked, "Mum, please tell me because you're scaring me." Lily looked at Harry.
"Jenny's working for Voldemort now." Lily said in a quiet voice. "Don't tell Bo."
"How do you know?" Harry asked.
"Because he just told me." Lily said. Harry opened his mouth to ask another question but the look on Lily's face told him not to. "Harry. Don't ask me any more. I have no idea about it ok. I'm sorry about all this. Just try and forget about it." Lily said putting her hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry scowled at her and nodded. Rhia and Bo came around the corner, Rhia appeared to be dragging the boy that was three years older then her.
"Bo, Jenny is alright." Lily said. Bo looked at Lily.
"How do you know?" He snapped. "I don't want to lose my mum as well." He said.
"I just know she's safe ok. Don't worry about it. She's just gone missing. We'll find her."
"That's worse then if she's dead!" Bo shouted at Lily. "She could be dead or worse! Mum can't cope with that. She's weak she can't live without my dad."
"Your mum is strong enough to survive, Bo! Don't underestimate her. We've done the same in the past and she's always come out on top." Lily snapped at the boy. "She's done and seen things that you can't even imagine."
"But that was years ago, before I was even born." Bo said. "I don't want to lose my mum as well as dad!" Bo shouted.
"You won't lose your mum." Lily snapped at him. "What are you three doing out of Grimmauld place anyway?" Lily asked.
"Um...Bo apparated us here." Rhia said uncomfortably. "We were worried about Jenny." Lily stared at the three of them.
"Get back home, you two, Bo go to the ministry and get a few officials here and don't argue with me. I know what it's like to go through this, just get some officials." Bo apparated after giving Lily an annoyed look but he wouldn't argue against her orders. Harry and Rhia glanced at each other.
"How are we going to get home mum?" Harry asked.
"Portkey, here." Lily made a portkey with a stone and threw it to Harry and Rhia. They held it for a few seconds before being jerked away. They landed in Rhia's room and very nearly fell onto Kara's guitar. Harry caught Rhia by the waist before she fell into the guitar.
"Thanks." Rhia said as she stood up properly.
"It's fine." Harry said. He went to Rhia's bed and sat down on it. He would have sat on his sister's bed but it was covered in some strange green stuff and Kara's appeared to have a few strange lumps in it. Rhia's bed, on the other hand, was made up completely. Harry leant over the pillows and against the headboard.
"I don't think Jenny's ok." Rhia said. "There's something up with Jenny. I've never seen anyone grieve like that." She went to the bed and looked at Harry.
"How many people have you known who's grieved the loss of their husband?" Harry asked. Rhia looked at him.
"Don't be clever." She said.
"I'm not." Harry said. "Besides, Jenny's with Voldemort, but don't tell Bo." Rhia's mouth dropped open.
"What?" Rhia asked. She climbed onto the bed and crossed her legs and rested her arms and chin on Harry's knees, that he had pulled up.
"You know our mums can hear things?" Rhia nodded. "Well, apparently Voldemort told mum that Jenny was with him. Don't tell Bo because if he finds out he'll go ballistic."
"I feel so sorry for Bo. I mean, what do you think it would be like to lose family like that?" Rhia asked. Harry looked at her.
"There isn't anything we can do. He doesn't seem to want out help. I've talked to him a bit but he won't talk back. It's really annoying." Rhia smiled slightly. "What?"
"It's like you when we got back from school." Rhia said. Harry scowled. Rhia sighed and moved to sitting next to Harry. She copied Harry's position and put her head on his shoulder.
"Explain." Harry said, he looked at Rhia.
"Well, you didn't want to talk to anyone about Remus' death. And we can't help Bo really because we watched Re-because we watched his dad die. He's going to feel bitter about it." Rhia said. Harry shrugged.
"Yeah but he could have come, he was part of the DA. We could have really used his help." Harry muttered as he put an arm around Rhia and played with a lose thread on his jeans. To him this wasn't unusual, he was closer to Rhia than anyone else. Rhia was feeling warm inside. She loved being with Harry when he was on his own.
"Yeah, but he was still in the hospital wing wasn't he?" Rhia asked.
"I suppose." Harry said. He sighed and looked at the door. "I really should go and speak to Ron and Hermione." He started to get up but Rhia held him down.
"Do you have to?" She asked anxiously. Harry looked at her.
"Yeah. It's about the DA." Harry said.
"But do you have to speak to them now?" Rhia asked. "We haven't been able to spend much time together." Rhia said. Harry scowled.
"You've been really anxious about spending time with me. Is there something I should know?" Harry asked. Rhia looked at Harry with a frown.
"Um...yes, no, I mean no. Nothing you need to know." Rhia said. Harry sat up and looked at Rhia. Rhia knelt on the bed and sat on her legs looking at Harry anxiously. Harry looked back her with a curious look. Rhia looked away.
"Rhia, what's wrong? You've never kept anything hidden from me." Harry said.
"I have." She muttered.
"Like what?" Harry asked. Rhia licked her lips and felt her heart speed up. Her mouth was dry and she felt nervous, she should tell Harry.
"I...um...I-" Rhia couldn't get out the words. Harry looked just as confused but Rhia thought she saw a look of realisation dawning on his face. She did the only thing she could think of. She leant forwards and pressed her lips against Harry's lips. Harry seemed to be a bit stunned to respond. He started to return the kiss slightly but then held Rhia's shoulders and pushed her away.
"What are you doing?" He asked her. Rhia couldn't look at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." Rhia said quickly. "Oh crap, I can't believe I just did that." She said.
"You like me like that?" Harry asked in surprise. Rhia nodded slowly. She wasn't looking into Harry's eyes. His mind was racing. Rhia liked him. That was just weird, he hadn't ever given her any indication that he liked her in that way. She was like his younger sister, well she was more his younger sister then his real sister.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-I wasn't- I'm not thinking properly." Rhia said. She got up and started for the door. Harry got up and held her arm. Rhia looked at him, almost hopefully.
"Rhia, I'll go. This is your room." He said. Rhia nodded and stood where she was. Harry went to the door. "I'm sorry Rhia. You're too much my sister then anything." He said, "And I'm going out with Hermione."
"What!" Rhia shouted, "You can't-no, you can't go out with her!" She said. Harry looked at Rhia rather annoyed.
"Why not?" He asked, "I like her, she likes me. I think I love her Rhia, don't try and change it. Maybe things could have been different but I'm going out with Hermione now." Harry said.
"But you can't go out with Hermione." Rhia said, "I can't give you the reason why but you can't. You just can't!" Rhia nearly screamed. Harry looked at her very annoyed now.
"Rhia, get over it. I'm going out with her and as much as I hate to hurt you, I can't go out with you or even return the feelings you have for me. Merlin, I thought you didn't feel about me like that, I was really hoping you didn't but you went and blew it. God!" Harry shouted the last word as he left the room. Rhia sank into the keyboard stool and looked too stunned. What had just happened?
Outside Harry stormed through the hall towards his own room. Emma was doing some dance, showing Kara a dance move as they walked to the bedroom.
"Hi Harry." Kara said.
"Whatever." Harry muttered. He felt so angry. He hadn't wanted his relationship with Rhia to be more then friends and she'd just gone and ruined it. He didn't know if he should hate her for it or pity her. He was beginning to realise why she'd never had any boyfriends before. Harry went into his own bedroom where Hermione was reading and Ron was trying to finish his holiday work. Hermione looked up.
"Are you ok Harry?" She asked.
"No." Harry muttered. He threw himself onto his bed and buried his head into the pillow.
Jenny followed Wormtail through the dark house. She felt shivers going through her back and tensed slightly. She knew she had two Death Eaters behind her and Wormtail in front. She felt highly uncomfortable, she hated being this close to Death Eaters and not being able to do anything against them. She took a silent deep breath and just followed Wormtail. He went up a set of stairs and then into a large room with a large high backed chair. At the desk was a high backed chair that faced a dark, opened window. In the chair was a man with a thin face and two slits for a nose. His eyes were red and his mouth was barely a mouth.
"What do you want Wormtail?" Voldemort asked, looking straight at them. Jenny prepared her mind for a mental barrage. April had been training everyone to withstand attacks on their minds for the past year or two, since it became obvious that Voldemort was rising back to power.
"We have a new recruit." Wormtail said. His voice was weak with fear.
"So you bring them straight to me? Don't you understand the problem with that Wormtail, how many times have I told you not to do that?" Voldemort said standing up.
"I am sorry master, but this is a special recruit." Wormtail stammered.
"Who is it?" Voldemort asked boredly. He stood in front of his desk and looked at Wormtail with his arms crossed. Jenny took off her hood and looked at Voldemort. His thin line of a mouth curved up in a smile.
"Yue-Yin Chang." He said.
"Jenny Lupin." Jenny corrected.
"Same thing" He said with a smile. "What brings you here?" He asked. Jenny's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I would rather speak to you in private, without your pathetic guards here." Jenny said coldly. Voldemort looked at the Death Eaters and they stepped out of the room and closed the door.
"I wouldn't even think about trying to attack me" Voldemort said.
"That's not why I'm here." Jenny said. She walked around the room. This was too easy, this came too naturally for her. "I want to join your cause." Jenny said.
"And why's that, you're part of Dumbledore's lot." Voldemort said.
"Yes but I want to defect. Last June, you showed that you're impossible to beat. If I can't beat you I might as well join you. After all it was Harry Potter who let my husband fall through that stupid veil. Harry and his friends and family." Jenny said with all the bitterness she could muster. "If we supported you, maybe I wouldn't be grieving for my husband, I wouldn't be dying inside and-" Jenny felt like ranting but to Voldemort. But before she could continue Voldemort stopped her.
"Then you've come to the right person. There's only one condition though." He said. Jenny looked at him.
"What's that?" Jenny asked suspiciously.
"You take my mark and work for me. A double agent or a spy in Dumbledore's organisation." He said. "I need a spy and I need to find out that prophecy. You're closer to the Potters then anyone. Feed me information and I can make your pain go away." He said with a smile. Jenny took a deep breath and frowned. "Why did you come if you don't want to take the mark?" Jenny closed her eyes and pulled up the sleeve of her robes. The pale skin of her underarm seemed to glow in the half light. Voldemort grinned evilly and got out his wand and touched it against Jenny's skin.
"Mosmodre" He said. Jenny screamed in pain as she felt the mark burn into her arm. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor but Voldemort kept hold of her arm. "It will hurt for a while but you'll get used to it." Voldemort let go of Jenny's arm and let her cradle it slightly. She looked at it. A skull with a snake shone brightly on her arm in black. It marred her skin and made Jenny feel physically sick. Voldemort returned to his seat behind the desk and looked at Jenny.
"It should subside any minute now. Get back to the Order and find out what is happening. I want to know why Potter and Black are resisting my attempts to get in." Voldemort said. Jenny looked at him from the floor. She hated the man but she had to do this.
"Very well." Jenny said through gritted teeth.
A/N:-Ok, a nice little HArry/Rhia moment there, hehe. I know, I'm making it so difficult aren't i? I think the next chapter has some Bo/Emma, I can't really remember very well. I've been doing so much and writing so many different stories all my stories are beginning to merge together in a huge mishmash. Anyway, had a brilliant working. THe party circuit is busy with leaving parties (for those going to Uni) and this year lots of 18th b-day parties to go to, as well as my own one to organise. hehe. Anyway, hope you like this chapter. Remember, HArry/Rhia lovers or HArry/Hermione lovers or whatever. I'm trying to figure out a compromise, so those of you who don't like Harry/Hermione, please bear with me for a bit. As for hte Twins thing, i just meant that its difficult for me to picture them as 11 but it's kinda interesting, i never actually saw them growing past 8, lol. There was another thing i was gonna say...um. I think it wassomething to do with Emma...hm. Oh yeah, i remember. Do you guys want me to do random PoVs from time to time? cause i'd be happy to do that, but the chapters will be longer by about 1000 or 2000 words, cause i'd probably add so much emotions and thoughts. Give me your two cents worth on that. Also, need band names for Emma, Rhia, Kara and Orion's band. Just a little thing as well. Rhia's singing voice is a bit like Avril Lavigne's voice (in case you ever wonder) and most of hte songs will probably be Avril Lavigne songs cause i feel that kinda music just suits this story.
