Chapter 2- Murder

Harry and Ginny went inside, taking Sally with them as the needed to deal with Becca and Jenny. Daniel was left alone in the garden.He looked just like his Dad apart from his flaming red hair, which was the exact same colour as his mother's.

As he sat there with his nose in a book about poisons, he heard a faint pop. He stood up to run for his Dad but then decided to investigate. he walked to the garden gate.

"Oh it's you." He said recognising the person before him. "What are you doing here?"

"Avadacadavra." They whispered. There was a flash of green light and Daniel Potter lay lifeless on the floor.

Harry had heard the spell and rushed out with his wand drawn only to find his only son dead by the garden gate. Daniel stared up at Harry with dark eyes. He was stone cold. It was too late.

"No!" Harry cried, "No…no…no…not Daniel…no." his voice petered out. Hearing Harry's cry Ginny came running to his aid.

"Harry, Harry, what's the ma…" she started but then she caught sight of her son's body. She dropped down beside Harry. She didn't say anything but tears began to slowly drip down her face. They knelt there for a while, grieving for their lost son. But no moment can last forever and soon Jenny, Becca and Sally arrived on the scene.

"What's the matter with Daniel Daddy?" Jenny asked quietly.

"Daniel's died honey," Harry replied, wiping his tears away, "he won't come back from where he's gone. Jenny and Becca dropped down beside their mother and father and cuddled their brothers body and cried.

Sally sidled up and although she didn't really understand what was going on she lay her teddy on Daniels chest and hugged him goodbye.

6 months later………

It was six months after Harry's son's death and things were just beginning to come back to normal. The funeral had been difficult and the weeks after even more so. Harry and Ginny missed Daniel so much but they knew life had to go on. They still hadn't found out who had murdered Daniel but Harry swore that if he found them he would kill them.

As for Jenny and Becca, they had been shaken but were starting to feel better and were nearly as jolly as usual. However, the Potters had moved house because they couldn't stand the sight of the garden gate. So they had chosen a new house on Godrics Hollow, where Harry's parents used to live.

"Daddy," Jenny and Becca came to Harry whining, "we're bored. Can we go out somewhere today?"

"Errrm," said Harry, "Ok, we'll take a trip to Hogwarts. I have been meaning to go and see Hagrid for a while."

"Yaaaaay!" they yelled, "Uncle Hagrid!"

The girls loved Hagrid as much as Harry ever did if not more so they had made him their adopted uncle. It was cute really.

The Potter family stood round the fire place, each with a small amount of floo powder in their hand.

"Right, you and Sally go first Ginny." Said Harry.

"HOGWARTS!" Ginny cried and with a whoosh they were gone.

"Becca you next." Harry ordered. Becca stepped into the flames and cried, "HOGWARTS!" and she was gone.

"Jenny, off you go." Harry said.

"HOGWARTS!" she cried and disappeared. Finally, Harry stepped into the fire. "HOGWARTS!" he yelled and vanished.
