AN: So I decided to rewrite my Bloom Jessica Potter story because I didn't like how it was going. And I think I'm a better writer than when I started, so I decided to rewrite my first fanfiction on this site. Of course the original will still be up and available to read. I hope y'all like this version. ~Immortalshark
*Daphne's POV*
This morning was a calm one, too calm. It was a little unnerving at how calm it was. I was on baby duty this morning, but I didn't care at all. My baby sister was the sweetest little thing ever and I love her. She's everything to me. She is also the current holder of the Dragon Flame, which used to be me but since she was born it was passed to her. I am the guardian of it though, so I still have a little connection to it as does my mother, who was the previous holder before Bloom.
The bond I have with her is strong as I could feel the curiosity and playfulness in her. She loves playing with the floating light spheres I would make to entertain her. If she was bored, I would summon a couple light spheres to entertain her and she'd be a happy baby for hours trying to catch them.
However, the calm wasn't to last as three witches attacked. The Ancestral Witches to be exact. I knew I had to get Bloom to safety. So I bundled her up and placed my necklace around her. The necklace that was once mom's, now mine, was going to Bloom. It was almost as if she knew not to make a noise as she didn't cry at all during the whole thing. Even with the loud noises of the explosions caused by missed spells.
I got to a room and thank the dragon that I paid attention in my classes as I cast the spell to send Bloom away and out of harms way and the witches grasp. Unfortunately the witches arrive before I could finish it and the spell would send her to the biggest source of magical power in that galaxy, which would be on Earth. I activate it and Bloom disappears. The Witches are furious. The explosions are the only thing I remember, that and the knowledge that Bloom is out of their clutches, before waking up at Lake Roccaluce. Omnia, the Guardian of Sirenix, is looking down at me.
"Hello again Daphne." she said.
I bolt up, "What happened?" I asked.
She looked sad and the Selkie that was the Guardian of the Domino Seas looked upset.
"After the Witches found you but no baby Princess, they blew up the planet in a snit. However I know that the planet is somewhere. I'd know if it wasn't as I wouldn't be here anymore if the planet was completely destroyed." Serena, the Domino Guardian, said.
I sighed in relief that Bloom was safe. I knew my parents had very little chances of surviving the spell. I turned to Omnia and we cast a spell over the forest. We channeled the power of the Source of Sirenix to power the spell. Now, if anyone is looking for the lake, they couldn't reach it and would get turned around. Of course intention wise if someone wanted to explore the forest they could, they just couldn't find the lake.
I checked the bond expecting something from my sister's end, but it was silent. Nothing. I tried again and still nothing. I had to sit to process the fact that my baby sister is dead. I basically threw a tantrum, but I didn't care. My baby sister was gone.
*Lily's POV*
I was walking down the sidewalk with my hand in my husband's hand. Enjoying a nice, crisp night of July 31. I heard sirens and I saw a firetruck spraying water on a burning building. The fire isn't normal and I told James that. We went inside, keeping ourselves hidden from the Muggles, only to hear crying. There's a baby in here!
We find the child quickly enough, James was trying to cancel out the spell and I was getting the baby's attention. It was a small girl with a fuzz of flaming hair on her head wrapped up in a blue blanket. When I reach down for her, the flames instantly start dying down and the baby's cries fade.
James looks at me, "Bloody hell,"
We found out that she was the one controlling the flames. So, we decided to adopt her after learning that she could be very loud when she wanted to be via screaming, and her lung capacity was huge for a baby. About a week after finding her, we introduced her to the Order. She took to most of them almost instantly and has made her way into Alastor's heart.
She ran around with the Weasley's chasing the twins around. We found out quickly that she's a very active little girl, and sneaky as all hell. She'd be in one place for a second, I'd look away, and she'd be in a completely different spot. At the moment, she's sitting between Sirius and James - who she calls Unca Paddy and Pongdaddy. Remus comes by and Bloom wraps her little arms around his legs.
All of us were discussing how cute Bloom would be in a costume for Halloween when a glass shattering scream was heard from the living room. I ran as fast as I could, just to see Peter holding Bloom looking terrified. Bloom is screaming and crying and squirming.
"I just picked her up I swear!" he said.
I took her from him and her cries immediately taper off as I rock her gently. "Maybe she just needs a nap. I'll take her upstairs."
I carried her up the stairs to the room James and I had converted into a nursery. "You have quite the set of lungs and vocal chords Firespark. You nearly blew out our ears that time." I muttered.
Bloom's hanging onto my shirt and she squirmed when I tried to place her into the crib so I just sat with her in an armchair as I comfort her.
"What's scared you huh?" I asked, "Did Uncle Wormtail startle you?"
I stood Bloom up on the top of my legs and wiping at her tear stained cheeks as I talk. I was surprised when Bloom starts wailing.
"Bad man fight Daph! Scary old ladies hurt Daph! Worm feels like bad man and ladies! Worm take you and Pongdaddy away too!" she buries her face into my shoulder again.
I was surprised and I tried to make sense of all that. Daph was short for Daphne I think. I feel her get heavier and she was asleep. I decided to sleep too and just held my baby. Thankfully, I wrote the will with James. I had edited it to include Bloom and that Bloom was to inherit everything. Sirius is her Godfather with Alice and Frank as her Godparents. I also included a formal apology to Severus, without the knowledge of James though. Severus and I had grown up as neighbors and he was a quiet boy. Smart and kinda cute. We both got into Hogwarts but he was sorted into Slytherin and I was sorted into Gryffindor. I met James and that was that.
Unfortunately, I couldn't be seen with him and I didn't like that as he was my friend. Though, it was clear that he was fed up with James and the others. I put him as one of the people who would gain custody of Bloom if any of the others were unavailable. I also put in bold that she was not to go to my sister, who absolutely HATES magic. We were close until I got my letter from Hogwarts. Then she became someone I didn't recognize, a jealous being that couldn't accept that I had something she didn't.
So when Voldemort came, I saw James get killed and then I had to protect Bloom. I did until everything went black, but the last thing I remember before blacking out was a wave of heat. I woke up and knew I was dead. James was beside me watching something. I looked and saw my baby sitting by my body, which was a little jarring, and crying. I wanted to comfort her but I couldn't. I watched as Severus had come, his wand was drawn but he put it away. I watched as he cried as he held my body. I knew he didn't have the best of childhoods, it was why I left some good potion making ingredients for him in the will.
Bloom was bawling her eyes out and finally Severus had picked her up and just cradled her. I had finally gotten what Bloom had said a couple days ago, that Wormtail would take us away from her. Peter had betrayed us to the Dark Lord. He had ratted us out, all because Voldemort said that if he did, his mother would be spared. It was fitting that his form was a rat because that's what he is, a rat.
I watched as Dumbledore came and got her before handing her to Hagrid. I watched as Hagrid held onto her before turning my attention to what Dumbledore was doing. Bloom didn't like Dumbledore at all either. I wished with everything in me that he wasn't going to do what I think he was. I looked to see him in front of the one place I specifically said Bloom was not to go.
AN: So what do y'all think so far? I thought that since Lily and James were watching Harry that they were still around, they just couldn't be seen. Almost as if they were in another plane of existance, one that could not be viewed by the human eye.
