That night Tommy tossed and turned in his bed. He was dreaming of the past.
-------
" Oh Tommy you came... you came..."
" Aunt Laura. I promised I was coming to England after...after they died."
" Good boy... you were always a good Lad Tommy."
" Aunt Laura you were going to jump weren't you?
She wiped away her tears and stood up. " I need a breath of fresh air. It's really hot in here. I need a drink. Run down to the tap in the kitchen and fetch me a glass of water Tommy will you?"
" Please Aunt... who was the girl?"
Her eyes suddenly flickered. " Girl Tommy?
" Yes a girl around fifteen years old... dark hair , average height."
Mrs Harpins sighed. " Oh my...oh dear..."
" What is it?"
" I promised her Father to protect her. I and Mr Florian and the other members ... we promised to keep her from harm ... to keep her on the good side. I have failed. She was never cruel... she came to help me and..."
" Who is the girl Aunt?"
" No one now Tommy. But her Mother is an aid of the devil who calls himself Voldemort."
" I dont understand."
" It doesnt matter Tommy. Oh what have I done? She'll never come back again. I am sure of that and I adored her. Such a lovely girl. So unlike her Mother."
" I wish you would tell me her name."
" No Tommy because if I did. You would put two and two together and discover a secret about this girls parentage that I'd rather you not know. It would make your blood boil and possibly set you on a mission to hunt her down."
" There is nothing that could be that bad."
Mrs Harpins sighed. If you knew her Mother killed your Family thought Mrs Harpins. Well then it would be bad.
" I must visit her and appologise " said Mrs Harpins.
Tommy nodded. " Very well Aunt Laura. Is it safe to go... you wont?"
She looked at the balcony. " People make mistakes Tommy. I wont make it a second time. I promise."

Tommy woke up sweating and breathing rapidly. " So it was Virginia " he said. " She saved my Aunts life."
