~Chapter 7~
[Flashback]
"No! I want to be with them! I want to be with my son! I want them back! I want my sisters back! I want my babies back! I want my love back! I want...my life back," She cried
"...You all have done enough, but I suggest you all be wary, she may calm down, but she will have a festering hate for all of you. You caused her to abandon her home and in her absence her family and livelihood are ashes. So...if she doesn't feel like playing your games, you will just have to deal with it. However, I must congratulate you. You have the girl you are looking for, but I suggest you have this for thought, you all must be responsible for the deaths of over 30 children, half of them being toddlers and most of them being under ten years old..." Nolan hissed
[Present] 1st Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place
Lilith snapped awake as she looked around the room she found herself in as she hissed in Parseltongue, "Nolan! Where are you?"
A snake raised its' head in the corner and said, "Right here, my lady."
He slithered towards her and she asked, "What happened...? Did you get the number of that pick-up truck that nailed me, yesterday?" She then rubbed her head but found herself feeling rather restrained as she looked at her arms covered in bandages all the way up to her shoulders then the scent of burn healing potion assaulted her nose making her wince in displeasure.
She groaned before she noticed she was wearing a spaghetti blue top and a pair of panties, but what she didn't notice was that her tattoos were gone. She looked at her hand to see the ring that Nolan brought to her.
"Nolan?" She questioned looking at the navy blue snake
He shifted into his human form and sat down beside Lilith, pulling her into his lap as he said, "Do you remember anything from yesterday?"
She closed her eyes in thought as she said, "Yeah...The pervert who tried to have his way with me when I was unconscious. I killed him, then me cursing out someone or people before you came and then..." She trailed off as her mind picked up where she left off, everything that happened yesterday. Nolan giving her the news that her orphanage burned to the ground by Winter and Miller. Her sisters, her children, her babies, her husband, and son. All of them were gone... The scent of burning flesh, the numbing despair and then nothing...
Lilith then violently flinched as she felt her body turn colder and colder as her breaths became visible inside the room as her eyes turned from green to a dark metallic gray.
Nolan laid her on her back onto the bed as he could only watch what was happening to Lilith as she shivered, feeling ice seep into her veins as darkness was forming at the corners of her vision.
"Nolan... The ring...Keep it safe for me please," She stated, pressing the ring into his hand
"Of course...My lady, you..." He trailed off, closing his hand around the ring
"I am being taken...to Despair's realm, the cold has already...put Lucretia in a deep sleep. I cannot escape it. I need to take the...long way back. Promise me. I want you to promise to kill me if I do not make it back in a month...I don't want to be...one of them, please..." She said, looking at her companion with dark metallic eyes boring into his yellow ones.
Nolan grabbed her hand, kneeling down and said, "I...promise...I will protect your body while you are fighting but... You better come back to me. I will never forgive you for as long as I live if you...if you don't make it back. Do you understand?" He trailed off as tears fell down his face
She reached out to touch his cheek, brushing away a tear as she smiled at him, whispering, "Silly..." before falling completely unconscious as her hand fell limply at her side.
He let out a grim chuckle, "Yeah, I guess I am silly..."
"Please, Lady Magic bring her back to me. There is no telling what would happen if she died..." He whispered to the sky
Lilith was then dragged into the deep recesses of her own mind.
[Lilith's Mindscape: Despair's Cave]
A massive dreary cave, constantly dripping with black water, the walls were carved with the faces of mourning individuals that looked to be constantly weeping as water dripped down the walls and the stalactites of the cave.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Lilith yelled before dropping into the massive pool of black water with a loud splash before she crawled out with a muttered curse of "Fuck!"
A tall hooded figure slowly walked towards her as she spelled herself dry as the figure removed their hood showing an exact replica of Lilith's own face.
"Despair..." Lilith stated, plainly as she stood up.
Despair just tilted her head before placing it right again. Her skin was porcelain pale almost to that of a corpse, dark bags underneath her eyes as she towered over Lilith by several inches, she wore a ragged black cloak and was carrying a black farmer's scythe. Her eyes were a metallic gray with black spirals, no pupils to be seen, her hair was a Potter-style messy onyx black, as her hair ended at the back of her knees.
"Follow...me... Lilith" She stated in a ragged voice
Lilith followed after her until the two heard the familiar voice of Jake calling her name, making her quickly move towards the voice until she found herself standing in front of two doors.
She then glanced back at her replica who snapped her fingers and the two doors opened.
The door on the left showed nothing but darkness, it gave off a foreboding chill that ran shivers down her spine as it was literally represented the closet where the giant monster most children feared was hiding before it ate your ass.
The door on the right showed a meadow where three people, were laughing and a have a good time. Those three people were Drake, herself, and Jake who was nine and they were all laughing and chatting. All the girls were protecting the orphanage and he was taking a break from his gang. She easily recalled the happy memory as it was the picture on her phone, with Jake resting on her breasts as she wrapped an arm around his waist as Drake kissed her cheek and pulled her close to him.
"Hmph, My punishment... correct? Seeing the reason for my fall, right?" She trailed off
Despair didn't reply at first and continued to stare into the dark void and said, "The shadow world...That is where you need to go to reach the surface."
"I will have to face my darkness to come back to the surface or she will...or the other option, I become one of them..." She trailed off with a heavy glare towards despair
Despair gave her a grim smile and said, "Yeah...There's no other way. Or you could lay in your happy place and wait for the end...but we both know what happens if you don't fight your way back now...I may not...like you...but I hate her more..."
"Aw~, it's sweet that you like me more, now fuck off. I'm getting back to reality," She snarked before jumping into the inky darkness as the door slammed shut behind her and Despair watched as the door flew off and disappeared into the distance.
The door on the right closed and melded into the gray wall.
"May...you...return back to reality...safely... my Queen" She stated, softly before she went to sit on her throne and she looked beside her to see the obsidian statue of both Drake and Jake standing next to each other, smiling at her as Despair let out a tear.
[Reality]
Nolan secured Lilith's body, folding her hands together and watched her, keeping her body safe as she would unconsciously create tears that slipped from her eyes as Nolan already knew what she was thinking.
She could hear the repeated phrases of the two most important boys in her life constantly ringing in her ears.
"We will be right here, mom. Waiting for you to come back," Jake said, giving Lilith his signature 'I'll be fine' grin
"No...Because you want it and I plan on getting it for you...Alright, let's make a deal, then. As soon as I have enough money and the time is right, I will hand deliver that ring to you," Drake offered to Lilith
"Very well I accept..." She sighed, knowing he wouldn't let this go
He gave a large grin and said, "You'll see~"
As of right now, it has been an entire week since Lilith was forced to Grimmauld's Place and had gotten the news of the state of her family, her orphanage, and how she was forced into a coma.
Nolan was rather worried about his Lady considering how her now dark wine-colored hair became thinner and paler, her skin became cold due to the lack of sunlight as heavy bags settled underneath her eyes as if she had been plagued by constant nightmares.
Her being in a literal coma did nothing to stop the residents of Grimmauld's Place from trying to snap her out of her depression for their own purposes or for her 'supposed safety'. Although, they didn't know she was in a coma thanks to Nolan being a lovely bodyguard as he refused anyone from entering his Lady's room.
[Flashback: 3rd Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
[Kitchen]
Grimmauld's Place was in its usual state of loudness, Arthur, the Twins, Charlie, and William (Bill) Weasley were all chatting and waiting to eat as Molly set the table with Sirius and Remus sitting down and lowly conversing.
James, Lily, and Charlie Potter were at Potter manor and would be visiting them during lunch.
It soon was 9 o'clock and Molly had just finished placing the last plate filled with food on the table as people dug in and then she turned towards Ron, Hermione, and Ginny who were in the midst of eating or in Ron's case shoveling everything within arm's reach into his stomach and asked, "Could you three please get Elizabeth downstairs?"
"Okay," Hermione said, standing up with Ginny as Ron stood up with a slight groan as they made their way upstairs.
Ron was going to barge in, but Hermione nudged him hard in the ribs and said, "Knock first."
He nodded and knocked, but there was no answer and he looked at Hermione who rapted on the door until the three of them heard a shuffling from inside and they stepped back a bit before all three stiffened in their spots. They couldn't move and Hermione managed to glance down and saw a dark mist coming from inside as the door slowly opened.
It was Nolan who stepped outside and looked at all three of them with utter loathing as he silently closed the door behind him and said, "You three...are disturbing my Lady's rest. I could easily kill all of you in twenty different ways with just my bare hands for daring to disturb her during this time and you all are severely testing my patience. Why were you knocking on the door with such urgency and the answer better be good," He stated as he snapped his fingers allowing them the ability to speak.
Hermione started first, "Mrs. Weasley wants Elizabeth downstairs to eat breakfast."
He raised an unamused eyebrow and said, "You wish for me to make her eat that rancid woman's pig feed?"
Ginny yelled, "How dare you say that about my mom!"
She then paled when Nolan's slitted yellow eyes bored into her blue ones making her want to curl into herself in fear as he hissed, "It would be wise to keep your voices low. You raise your voices once more and it will be the last thing you ever do."
All three gulped at the threat, subconsciously knowing that he would go through with it.
Ron said, "Mom, just wants her down from breakfast and that's all. Her parents and brother are coming by later and-"
"Tell your miserable mother that my Lady will not be down for the pathetic swill that she, unfortunately, calls food nor for those ignorant bastards who conceived her and if you try to bother my lady about this again? Well, I show you how cruel I can really be."
Hermione choked out, "You can't keep her inside that room all day. She'll starve to death!"
He snorted at her and said, "That's what you think. Now, are you going to leave my Lady to mourn or do I need to use force?"
"You can't hit us! We're girls!" Ginny said, trying to use the feminism card
He shook his head with a light laugh and said, "Yes, I can. You three are pathetic sycophants of a miserable old man clutching to any reign of power he can get his greasy hands on. And I...am more than happy to teach you all a lesson."
He then violently shocked all three of them, causing them to open their mouths in a silent scream of pain before he tossed them towards the stairs. He heard them tumble down the long flight of stairs before he heard the screams and curses of everyone who came out to investigate the noise, making him smile.
"I guess what Lady Lilith says is true. Nothing beats a good thrashing first thing in the morning," He smiled to himself before retreating back into Lilith's room and charming the door.
[Meanwhile, Downstairs]
Molly was clutching the twitching forms of Ron and Ginny in her arms as the twins looked at their younger siblings in shock before Arthur said, "Someone call Poppy and Dumbledore please."
Bill floo'd them as Molly looked up at the stairs was going to charge like a raging bull until Arthur pulled her back, making her fight in his grip.
"Let me go, Arthur. She is going to get a piece of my mind!" She growled as she glared at the top of the stairs.
"No, Molly. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione need you right now. Focus on them, for now, please?" Arthur asked, trying to calm her down
She took a deep breath and said, "Fine."
Sirius and Remus looked at each other before helping Arthur and all the older Weasleys get Hermione, Ginny, and Ron to a bed upstairs. Being careful not to leave Molly alone as they made her focus on them or on the injured along with helping Poppy who sighed. The nurse just knew from the bottom of her heart that she was going to be making regular house calls to Grimmauld's Place as she steeled her nerves as she prepared the burn cream and healing potions.
[Flashback: 5th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
[Living Room]
It is now 1 o' clock and Sirius, James, and Lily were all resting in the living room as Molly was nursing her daughter, son, and Hermione back to health with Poppy's instructions. Their bodies were still spasming from Nolan's violent lightning attack.
James sighed as he looked toward the stairs with a longing look, just as Molly made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, huffing, and puffing as she went as Sirius commented, "Molly's been a tiff all day."
"Yeah, Sirius. Having two of your children turned into a makeshift lightning rod would do that," Lily said, standing up with a stretch before making her way towards the stairs.
"Lily, what are you doing?" James asked
"Upstairs, I'm going to visit my daughter and no snake is going to stand in my way. I have been waiting for so long to connect with my daughter and I finally get the chance to do it." Lily stated, softly
James stood up with a determined smile and said, "You're right! No filthy snake is going to get in my way of getting to know my daughter!"
Sirius smiled at the fiery spirits of his friends, "Don't you two dare leave me out of it."
All three then walked upstairs, but instead of seeing the simple wooden door, they came across Nolan who was silently smoking a pipe. The smoke distracted them from noticing the barrier he put up as soon as the three saw him.
James said, "Move. We are here to see our daughter."
"Well, she doesn't want to see you," Nolan simply responded
"Who are you to say that we can't see our daughter?" Lily said, preparing to fight her way through him.
"The person who is her loyal servant and swore to protect her from any and all threats or annoyances. But you all are more annoyances than threats," He said, smiling at the end
James growled, "I'll show you a threat!"
He took out his wand and fired a blasting curse, but Nolan simply captured it in his hand, slowly crushing it before their very eyes until it disappeared into the air. As the three were stupefied at what he had done, he immediately attacked.
Lily was given a bitchslap that smashed her into wall behind her, snapping the other two out of their shock, but before they could call her name, Nolan already attacked them, he buried his fist into James' stomach, making him puke as he wrapped a hand around his neck and pressed a hand on his stomach trying to stop the flow of vomit.
Sirius was given an ax-kick to the head, smashing his head into the floor as Nolan grinded his polished black shoe into the back of his head, knocking him completely unconscious.
Nolan sighed with a shake of his head, "Hmph. How dare you call yourselves my Lady's parents? You all are so pathetic it's sickening."
Lily coughed, her cheek swollen from where Nolan slapped her, "We just want to see her. She is our daughter...we have that right."
"The very same daughter you threw away for your other child on the word of an old man? I've seen roaches with stronger spines then you two," Nolan hissed
"We had no idea... that she was treated so horribly over there. We visited them... We thought everything was fine. We even had a person watching the house telling us...that she was being treated right. We had no idea. Please...We just want our daughter back." James said, out of breath
"I have a better idea. Tell me. The minute you knew she had been abused, where were you? Why did you wait all this time until now to want her back now? Why now of all times to try and butt into her life?" Nolan questioned
"I...I..." James stuttered out
Nolan glared down at him before glaring at Lily who was still stuck inside the wall and said, "The reason is that the two of you are cowards...and sycophants of the worse kind. You easily bend over backward for this Headmaster of yours...It must be so pleasing that you don't have to use your brains to suck him off with such little effort. And you two are more than willing to sacrifice everything and anything for your supposed leader. You 'people' make me SICK!"
The two flinched at his harsh words, before he continued, "None of you will see my Lady. If you don't learn your lesson this time. I will be...much more violent next time. Let's see if little worms like you learn the first time?" He finished with a dark, cold smile before he snapped his fingers and set all three of them on fire.
Making them all scream before he let them go with second-degree burns as the Potter parents joined Sirius into the world of unconsciousness.
He shook his head and said to himself, "Ignorance...what a lovely drug for simpletons. But...idiots like you two don't deserve such a handicap. I've been waiting for a chance to use this technique."
He took off his gloves with the fangs of his teeth, showing off rather sharp black nails before flipping through handsigns as his hands glowed onyx black as he touched James' lower stomach, then moved to Lily before he cut off the spell.
"Your idiocy deserves punishment" He whispered as the shiver of dark magic rushed through him before it faded as he blasted them down the stairs.
'Pathetic...but I wonder how they will react to my gift?' He thought with a massive grin before closing and locking the door behind and shifting into his snake form as he watched her sleep.
If Nolan wasn't so used to seeing Lady magic and her subtle hints, he could have sworn on his fangs that he saw a flash of Lilith grinning in approval.
'I aim to please and pleasure you at all costs my Lady. At all costs,' He mentally whispered giving her a snake kiss on her cheek.
[Meanwhile, downstairs]
Charlie was sitting with the twins and Arthur until the tumbling from downstairs caught their attention and Charlie fell to his knees as he looked at his burned remains of his parents and Sirius as the twins floo'd Poppy as Arthur wrapped his arms around the trembling boy.
'Why is this happening?' He asked himself
'Don't you dare pretend you don't know. You know exactly why. It's because your parents are the drooling cocksuckers of Dumbledore.'
Charlie inwardly flinched at hearing the voice that had been haunting his mind since the end of his first year, right after he killed Professor Quirrell. His dark counterpart, an exact replica of him except with silver hair, black sclera, and pumpkin orange eyes.
'Don't talk about the Headmaster or my parents like that!' He snarled at his darker counterpart
'Oh, I'll talk about them any way I want to. Considering how he screwed you over constantly over the years. But you being a good little lamb prepared for slaughter just take it, just like a two-knut whore.'
'Shut. up.'
'Aw~. Is the poor baby upset?'
'...' Charlie didn't respond, but he mentally glared at his counterpart who laughed
'Even now, you still refuse to realize it. That Dumbledore doesn't care about you and his mentality of the weak has been holding you back.'
'You're wrong.'
'Am I? No...Charlie, I am not. You are. How many times have you second-guessed your actions? How many times have you held yourself back nearly killing yourself in the process and the people around you by the Dark Tosser himself? I'll tell you how much, countless. Cedric is a prime example of that.'
'SHUT UP!' He roared, making his dark counterpart laugh so loud it made his ears ring
'No, I won't. You will realize it. Despite what Dumbledore pounded into this thick head of yours, I am not here to hinder you. I am here to help you. I am the darkness that every Potter family member has. Your father denied his, which caused his power to be literally a quarter of what it's supposed to be. Your sister, however, does nothing to hide her darkness and no matter how much you don't want to see it, you see how it gives her strength. However, I will not give up on you so easily. I will stick with you until you finally admit it to yourself.'
'I'll never give in to you.'
'Never? Ha! Oh, Charlie, you should know, that you should never say never.'
'Fuck off...I don't need your help.'
'Really? Then why are you still standing here? You survived all this time because of me! Did you think that you could take on the seventy-foot Ballisk with the so-called concept of love shit from Albus? Did you think that miserable excuse for a defense teacher would be able to wipe your memory turning you into a vegetable? Remember when the trash compactor pushed you down the chamber, nearly breaking your neck in the process? And that was just the second year! Wake the fuck up! You are surrounded by fakes! They are hindering you!'
'N-no...I don't believe you.'
'Tell me. When our dear sister found out about the situation between her family and fiancee, you stood your ground compared to the trash compactor and the pathetic stalker who fainted and pissed themselves in fear along with Beaver teeth who was shitting in her jeans.'
'I...'
'Or what happened to the people who went to retrieve her? They would have been killed if she was actually serious and wasn't distracted.'
'They...'
'Enough! I had enough your excuses for the moment. However, I will leave you with this for thought. If our sister could do that to them when she is not serious and crack the entire living room and kitchen of Grimmauld's Place when she in anguish. What power could she bring out when she is pissed?'
Charlie didn't reply as he couldn't imagine it himself and that made his dark counterpart leave his mind with just a simple chuckle.
"-lie? -harlie! Charlie?!"Arthur said, slightly shaking him
Charlie came back to reality to see Arthur's worried face
"What is it?" He questioned
"Your nose is bleeding," Arthur said
"What?" Charlie said, wiping his nose with the sleeve of his shirt and saw that blood was smeared in a thick red line.
"Are you okay?" He asked, worried for the young Potter
"I haven't been sleeping well, actually. Nightmares..." '-of a cold, inky darkness and my dark side violently taking over my body and slaughtering everyone in Gryffindor Tower... and the both of us enjoying every single moment of it.'
"Let's get you to Poppy. You have been kneeling like this in shock for ten minutes. Poppy already came and got your parents and Sirius all fixed up. They will wake up tomorrow. Let's get you in a bed and I'll floo Poppy to give you something."
Charlie nodded as he leaned against Arthur who led him upstairs, unaware that several strands of silver hair that fell to the floor.
[Flashback: 7th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
[Morning]
It was now 7 o'clock in the morning and everyone was still in the midst of sleeping or in Charlie's case trying to sleep as he subconsciously ignored Ron's lion-like snores for the silence the room had.
Molly crept out of bed, kissing her husband who smiled as he continued to sleep as she smiled at him before she went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
She muttered, "Pig feed, huh? How dare he! When Elizabeth finally tastes my cooking, I will make him personally apologize to me and my two children along with Hermione."
She grabbed a tray to place her three best pancakes topped with a drizzle of syrup and a slab of butter, on the side was a plate of sausage and bacon and a cup of pumpkin juice.
Molly smiled to herself as she looked at the tray that just screamed perfection as she placed the plates filled with food on the table as she made her way upstairs as she knew all her boys would be downstairs eating any minute.
[Lilith's Room]
Nolan yawned awake before his nose caught an unpleasant stench, making him violently hiss in displeasure, before uncurling himself from Lilith's body and shifted into his human form and said, "When will they learn..."
He turned towards Lilith, kissing her cheek before opening the door and standing outside and found himself staring at Molly Weasley who came forward glaring at him.
The two stared at each for what seemed like hours until it was finally broken.
"I heard what you said about my cooking," She said, cutting through the silence
"Oh?" He quipped, leaning against the door
"I'll have you know that everyone loves my cooking and I want an apology for both my children and Hermione."
He chuckled as she started to turn red as a tomato and said, "What! What's so funny?"
"You actually...You're the funny one. Thinking you can get an apology from me especially when I know your secret."
Her red color faded as she stared straight at him asked, "What do you mean?"
"You exactly what I mean, you miserable power climber."
She slightly flinched as she hadn't been called that in a long time as she slowly said, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"I think you do. Especially with those fat sausages attached to your mouth right now, a lipstick control potion that you created, made from your own hormones. It's a unique idea that is both simple and disgusting."
"What a horrid snake you are. Making up all these stories...All your lies and keeping poor Elizabeth trapped inside that room. She must be starving," She said, trying to steer the conversation elsewhere
He raised an eyebrow as she continued, "You seem to have such heavy delusions, here have a taste," She said, trying to shove a bite of sausage into his mouth, but he caught her arm, forcing her to drop it.
"Really? Trying to force me to eat your swill? You think I don't know about you lacing the food in your hand with enough love and obedience potions to kill ten men?"
"She will eat my food after that, she will marry my Ronnikins and then she will be a part of my family and there's not a damn thing you can do about it, you miserable snake," She spat
He mockingly laughed at her, "Do you truly think I would leave my Lady to eat your horrible swill laced with cheap potions. Besides you are in no position to demand things from me or make threats considering how I know your secret."
"What secret? I am a regular housewife of a sweet husband and a mother of seven children," She stated, calmly
"You mean...five children..." Nolan responded
Molly froze, the tray slipping from her hands, the food spilling onto the floor as she stuttered out, "W-what?"
"You heard me. You are the mother of five children. Given to you by that poor man, Arthur I think his name was...who doesn't know how much you ruined his life. But your other two. The youngest are not his children. They are just as rotten as you."
She pulled out her wand and said, "How dare-" He slapped it out of her hand, making it fall down the stairs, out of reach.
Nolan forced her against the wall and when she tried to kiss him, but he wrapped a hand around her mouth as he hissed, "Disgusting...Did you think that you could force me under your spell you ugly cow? No, not now or ever."
He then violently shocked her, making her unaware of an another spell that he placed on her through the pain.
Nolan then tightens a hand around her neck, forcing her to focus on him and said, "Listen and listen well. I know your secret, how you have been sleeping around. The scent of that miserable old man is all over you and I have been thinking about it and it makes sense. All your other older children have talent, but the other two don't. They are just as pathetic as you and that old man with the God complex."
Molly couldn't move as he continued, "Knowing that you just won't stop with your miserable attempts, but...that won't stop me from having fun."
Her eyes widened before she slumped in his grip making him mockingly laugh at her and said, "You think I mean sex? Oh no, Molly. I wouldn't dare put my cock in such a used and stretched hole such as yours."
She flushed in embarrassment and rage as he told her, "Behave yourself or I will destroy you and everything you care for, I won't kill you, but I will make you wish I did and everyone will know much of a power-hungry slut you really are."
He then tossed her off the stairs but frowned at not hearing the simple sound of a snapped neck as he waited for the screams and curses to appear. When they did, he grinned to himself before walking into Lilith's room, closing the door with a click of the door as the lock snapped into place.
[Late Evening]
Nolan sighed as he looked at the pale face of Lilith, her chest rising up and down showing that she was still alive, as he ran his fingers through her hair before he stiffened as his nose caught on to an unpleasant scent.
"The youngest Weasley boy...Disgusting," He frowned before vanishing through the shadows and looked at Ron trying to pick the lock of the room.
He read the mind of Ron as he was too distracted with trying to pick the lock and Nolan had to swallow the violent hiss that rumbled through his chest as all of Ron's thoughts flooded through him.
'He dares to think he could force himself on my Lady?!' He inwardly hissed before violently shocking Ron who fell to the floor unconscious and twitching in pain.
Before Nolan could do anything else, a series of footsteps came close to their position and it was Charlie Potter who was yawning before tripping over Ron's unconscious and charred body.
Charlie looked down to see Ron and cursed, "Fuck it... Not again. When will he learn? It's been the sixth attempt already?!"
'Sixth attempt? Has he been preventing him from attempting to enter Lilith's room before and I haven't noticed? Maybe, there is more to the youngest Potter than I first thought...' Nolan concluded as he watched Charlie drag Ron to their shared bedroom.
[Charlie and Ron's Bedroom]
Ron was now snoring, but Charlie was in no mood to allow him to sleep and stomped on his chest forcing him awake with a splutter as he looked up to see an irritated Charlie Potter with his wand out and his left foot tapping on the floor.
Ron gulped and said, "Hey Charlie?"
"Don't 'hey Charlie' me, Ron. It's the middle of the night! What the hell were you doing in front of her room?"
Ron rubbed the back of his head and said, "I just wanted to surprise Lilith?"
Charlie slowly raised an eyebrow and said, "In the middle of the fucking night?"
"Yeah...?" He said, slowly
Charlie shook his head and said, "Go to bed, Ron."
Ron nodded and Charlie made his way back to bed, burying himself under the covers while Ron made his way towards his bed to lie down on it and when it seemed like Charlie was asleep or nearly asleep he attempted once more to sneak out of the room.
However, Charlie immediately pulled out his wand and stunned Ron, making him fall face first on the floor, breaking his nose as the massive snores he made signaled that he was finally asleep.
'This shit is going to get old very quickly, I just know it...' He thought before burying himself deeper into his blankets.
[8th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
The mood of Grimmauld's Place was slowly getting worse, the temperature constantly switched from a smoldering heat that could make even the walls sweat to a bitter cold that flash froze several meals that Molly made much to her irritation as they had to go out to eat.
If that wasn't enough, the house was against all members of Grimmauld's Place, Sirius couldn't keep it under control, it was almost as if the house was angered at the state of Lilith, the strange thing was that Walburga hadn't screamed since Lilith's despair-filled outburst, it was almost like she was waiting for her to come down.
On the other hand, Dumbledore's attempts of trying to get Lilith to come downstairs to begin her training to take on the Dark Lord was starting to get very annoying as his speeches only left people in a foul mood. Both James and Lily didn't want to face Nolan a second time and Sirius refused to go in front of that room again. He did not want to feel like burnt toast.
Remus refused to go, considering Lilith's threat on his person and what Nolan did to Sirius and his two best friends as he really didn't want to be a pelt on the floor.
Charlie Potter was annoyed at everyone and he was finding himself reluctantly seeing his dark one's view that Dumbledore couldn't give two shits about him and he was rather annoyed at everyone and everything around him. Ron with his damn attempts at trying to get into Lilith's pants, Hermione with her damn nagging about how he should take responsibility and bring down his sister and Ginny with trying to worm her way into his arms. Along with his nightmares, if it wasn't slaughtering everyone in Gryffindor Tower, it was a horrible darkness that made him feel like he was constantly traveling through a portkey with no end. If it was neither of those, it was hearing all these voices laced with malice spitting curses upon curses at him. He wasn't sure how much he could take...
The Weasley twins, Charlie, and Bill Weasley refused to go upstairs to try and get Lilith down, no amount of subtle threats from Dumbledore, complaints, and nagging from Hermione, or yelling from Molly could make them.
It was on the 9th day when they stopped being bothered about trying to get Lilith downstairs.
[Flashback: Ninth Day]
Everyone was eating while Charlie was resting on the couch until the familiar tumbling of someone falling down the stairs rang out making most of the people sigh in annoyance before Charlie slumped off the couch and found who the idiot was to irritate Lilith this time.
And of course, the idiot was Ron, but what made it so different this time was that Ron was unconscious cradling his crotch in pain as Arthur floo'd Poppy who checked the youngest Weasley boy and said, "I need to remove his penis and balls."
"What?!" Everyone screamed, making Charlie wince at the loud noise level before glancing at the stairs and sighed in relief that nothing was coming after them.
"Let me explain. Your son has had his package is crushed to such an extent that it is basically a piece of meat."
"So my baby boy won't have a penis anymore?" Molly said, tearing up
"I'm sorry...but yes. I can prepare a potion that will regrow it but I will need a month and-"
"Do it!" Molly announced
"But, Molly, I-" Poppy stated
"It doesn't matter, my baby boy will have a penis!" Molly huffed, completely serious
Poppy sighed and said, "Very well. If that is what you want. I'll get started on it, but I need to remove his penis or his flesh will start to rot and that...is a whole can of worms you do not want to open. Could all of you please leave?"
All the men in the room couldn't get out faster as Molly, Hermione, and Ginny left at a more moderate pace.
The screams of Ron when he heard that his penis had been removed went far beyond what a banshee could create and Charlie's dark counterpart found the entire thing amusing as he laughed his ass off for an hour, nearly wheezing by the end of it.
[Lilith's Room]
Nolan was carrying Lilith after bathing her and dressing her in a new set of pajamas as he gently laid her on the bed, but as he was just going to place her under the covers he turned pale as he looked at her right arm.
He saw black veins and cracks forming from her fingertips to her middle of her forearm as he looked up at her unmoving face as he felt like he just swallowed a brick. He placed her under the covers as he shifted into his snake form waiting for another day to pass.
'Please come back to me soon...my Lady. This wait is maddening...' He thought as he nuzzled against her.
[Mindscape]
...It's all your fault...
...You lied to me...There are no such things as happy endings...
...You disgusting little freak...
...Lie on your back you little freak. That's all your good for anyways...
...Why can't you just die?
...You're not worth anything...
'My, my...Such cold words...' She thought as she floated in the inky darkness as she felt a hole form in her chest. It felt just like the horrible loneliness she escaped from when she was finally saved from Pivet Drive.
No...This loneliness wasn't the same. It was worse...ten times worse at the very least. At least when she was in that hellhole, she never had any bonds or anyone to rely on, she was always alone...dirty...and unwanted. The loneliness was both her heaven and her hell. The one that both protected and isolated her.
The crippling loss of her children, her fiancee, her sisters, and her son made her fight to not cry as the darkness shifted and compressed around her like the most uncomfortable latex and metal corset suit she could ever think about before the darkness relaxed and became still once again.
She made herself stand up before she started to swim upwards, slowly moving through the darkness that felt like she was moving through honey. She didn't know how long she started this track, but all she knew was she still had time as the darkness hadn't eaten her which was all she needed as she made her way upwards.
'Up...up the only way out of this darkness is by going up... Just wait a bit longer, Nolan. I'm almost there...' She thought as she slowly made her way up, being careful to never look down and reach that bright light that would be one more step to reaching Nolan and getting her loved ones back.
She inwardly flinched when she felt a cold hand on her ankle but she continued to move upwards, ignoring that severed hands that had attached themselves to her arms, her legs, and her waist.
Lilith growled as she ignored the icy hands digging their pointy fingernails into her skin, making bloody crescent moons in her flesh, allowing the darkness to enter as her every doubt, mistake, and fear rang in her ears and even voices of those that used to cause her to tremble.
However, she refused to falter...the icy hands, the cold darkness seeping into her skin, into her muscles, and into her bones wouldn't make her stop. She grinned because she knew that she was on the right path. The surface was getting closer was not so far away. 'The icy hands of wouldn't appear if she was far away and it was only a matter of time.' Her smile became more determined as she whispered, "I'm coming, Nolan. Don't you worry... I'm coming."
'The icy hands of wouldn't appear if she was far away and it was only a matter of time.' Her smile became more determined as she whispered, "I'm coming, Nolan. Don't you worry... I'm coming. Just wait a bit longer."
[Fast-forward: Reality: 13th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
Nolan was sighing as he watched his master wither away in her bed as he tapped several pressure points on her chest, causing her body to unwind as he looked at her pale form with sadness.
He thought, 'I should have just taken Jake with me, but who knows what would happen if the miserable bastards downstairs tried anything against him.'
He pulled out the ring that Drake got for her and clutched it in his fist as he recalled her last order word for word.
Nolan stood up from the bed and whispered into her ear, "It is nearly a half a month, Lilith. You have 17 more days before I am forced to do something drastic."
He then spelled the door with a violent shocking charm before disappearing in a flash of flames to get breakfast for her.
[Meanwhile, downstairs...]
Hermione, Ginny, and Ron were still violently twitching from their last attempt of trying to get Lilith to come downstairs.
Hermione groans as she glared at Charlie and said, "You should have come with us. Maybe then she would actually come out instead of hiding in her room all day and night or having that thing upstairs attack us."
Charlie snorted in reply as he rubbed his eyes, the dark bags underneath his eyes from lack of sleep and nightmares, pale skin from continuous nose bleeds as several parts of his hair were turning silver.
He rolled his eyes and tells her, "Come on, what difference would it make of me being there change anything besides me getting hurt? This is now the seventh time you tried to get her downstairs and failed? You should know better than to annoy a sleeping dragon or what is the muggle expression? Poke the angry bull?"
"But she is your sister and you can get her! You just haven't tried!" She growled
"Because I don't wish to feel like I just got struck by lightning or got nailed by a runaway oven. I am not stupid enough to do that after she had given repeated warnings that she wants nothing to do with us and if she wants time to mourn for her loved ones then who am I to allow her not to?"
"But it has been nearly two weeks!" Hermione stated with irritation bleeding into her tone
"So, you are telling me if you had a boyfriend who you love and was actually going to propose to you and a child you thought of as your own and you think that they are either dead or dying in a hospital would you get over it quickly?" He snapped at her
Hermione didn't say anything for awhile as they both knew that he was right as he downed a potion with two gulps as he glared at Hermione who had her head down.
"But she has both you and her parents, shouldn't that count for something?" She offered
Charlie frowned at her said, "What do I look like, Hermione? Her owner? She isn't a dog. She is a person and I am giving her space. And considering how she shocked all three of you so much that you are still twitching even now, I am not taking any chances of getting on her bad side, especially since she has a loathing for anything related to the Potter name, considering what happened a week ago."
Hermione sighed, "Your parents did it for her own good, she will have to realize that, you know?"
Charlie rolled his eyes as he knew continuing this conversation would just give him more of a headache.
Ron continued to eat, but thought, 'Another rule to add for her to follow when we get married, and then she will make amends with what that freak did to me. I can't wait until I can get rid of him,' He then violently twitched causing him to lose his grip on his fork causing it to land on his incredibly messy plate.
Ginny was constantly twitching as she was trying to eat her cereal but the milk and cereal just fell right back into the bowl as she couldn't keep her hand steady, much to her irritation as she just wanted to eat.
Hermione sighed as she cut a piece of her pancake as an another muscle spasm ran through her as she recalled what happened two hours ago.
[Flashback: Two Hours Ago]
Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Charlie all sat down at the table with the rest of the Weasley family as Molly was setting down plates filled with food and she turned towards the Golden Trio plus Ginny and said, "Could you four please bring down, Elizabeth?"
"Sure," Hermione said, standing up
Ginny nodded and stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Ron whined before a glare from Hermione silenced him, while Charlie shook his head, "I'm not going."
"Charlie~," Molly and Hermione said
He rolled his eyes and said, "The same thing which happened yesterday will happen again. She is not going to come out."
"She can't stay in there forever, she'll starve to death," Hermione stated plainly
"Hermione, it has been thirteen days, don't you think she would have come out sooner if she didn't have some way to get food?"
His statement caused someone people to stop before Molly continued, "Could the three of you please get her to come down."
They nodded before Hermione gave Charlie a glare which he ignored as he was in no mood to pander to her so-called 'do as I say' glare.
Hermione, Ginny, and Ron made their way upstairs and stood in front of Lilith's door.
Ginny knocked on the wall, but with no response and no Nolan in sight, Hermione knocked on the wall before choosing to knock on the door before she let her hand fall to her side with a huff.
She then said, "Elizabeth, you need to come out of the room. You can't stay in there forever, you need to move on."
Ginny added on, "Come on. Do you think they would want you to mourn them forever? Besides, your parents want to get to know you as we are going to go out for shopping later."
"After breakfast, my mom wants us to get to know each other as you are going to Hogwarts with us," Ron said, looking at the wooden door.
There was no answer and Hermione was going to knock on the door again before a massive lightning strike hit all three of them, shocking them all so violently that they fell twitching to the ground. Then a magical force blasted them all away from the door as all three fell down the stairs.
Nolan then appeared from the shadows as he shook his head and said, "Miserable sycophants..."
All three landed at the bottom of the stairs in a moaning heap as everyone poured out from the kitchen to helped them into the living room as Charlie floo'd Poppy as he thought, 'I told you so...'
[Despair's Waters]
Lilith continued to swim upwards, more hands attached themselves to her arms and legs and even her shoulders, trying to pull her down, but Lilith kept swimming upwards until she saw it. That bright light that told her she was there as she kept up her moderate pace before she felt her hand brush up against the surface of the water.
She pulled her hand back and punched through the surface, the momentum allowing half of her body to break free of the black water. She pulled herself out of darkness, hacking and spluttering out all the water that found itself in her lungs as the hands attached to her body dissolved into dust as it fell off her body.
After completely removing her body from despair's waters, she knelt on top of the surface as she shook herself dry.
She looked around and found herself staring at the edge of her sanity.
[The Edge of Sanity]
The area was a large pink grassland, surrounded by large multi-colored twisted trees as the sky was a dark rose pink as orange pink clouds littered the sky, surrounding the orange sun like a pair of fluffy wings. In the distance surrounded by mist was a massive cliff of a metallic color.
But as she took in her surroundings she saw...her welcoming party.
All the people she defeated, killed and buried in a nameless grave herself. All her past enemies who tried to take her place, kill her, rape her, been a threat to her family, caused one of their deaths, all the sexual deviants who were a dime in a dozen where she lived, child rapists, molesters, violent gang members, or drug dealers who she all violently killed from the time she was eight years old up until now.
She stood up, grinning and said, "What a nice welcoming party...You cunts..."
Then one of them yelled out a battle scream and made to attack Lilith who grinned before striking out with her fist, punching him so hard that her assailant's clothes flew right off his body as he landed upside down next to an orange-leafed tree, occasionally twitching.
"It's been a long ass time since I was trapped down there, wallowing in my own darkness. But, I am back now, you miserable pussies. I want to dance for awhile, I am out of practice," She grinned
That was the signal for everyone to charge and they did, all of them made their way to attack her, but Lilith jumped up into the air and landed directly in the middle of her enemies, causing some of them to be blown back from the force as she struck out at all the people near her. Tearing them limb from limb with a large grin on her face.
But, further away, a person was watching from a distance who was sitting on an old rotted tree, it was a black-haired version of Lilith with ivory white skin, her eyes were a dark pink as her lips were pulled into a simple grin as she watched Lilith tear her enemies apart.
'Let's see how you fare against me after all this time...Elizabeth...' She thought as she watched the onslaught.
[Present...Still Day 13]
Molly placed the last bowl of food on the table and asked, "Bill, can you please take a tray to Elizabeth?"
Bill was wiping his mouth on a napkin and looked at her in question, which she responded with a light glare making him sigh as he stood up and said, "Okay, but I am just leaving it by her door, but first things first, you didn't put anything in it, did you?"
"William Weasley I would never!" She said, looking insulted and hurt
He looked at his mother with a questioning glare, not willing to be cowed by her insulted and hurt look. He really didn't want to end up as a human lightning rod or have his penis crushed like Ron. He liked his cock how it was and was not willing to give that up.
She sighed and said, "Yes, I did not put anything in it. Is that better?"
"Okay, okay. I just want to make sure," He sighed with a nod as he held his hands out for the tray of food, which was a plate of three pancakes covered in syrup and butter, a side of bacon and sausage with a glass of pumpkin juice.
He made his way towards Lilith's room while Charlie looked at Bill's back before glancing at Molly and thought he saw her giving a really off-putting smile as if she was a cat who got the canary and thought, 'This won't end well...'
"The ugly cow opened a can of worms she won't be able to close." Charlie's dark counterpart stated
'Shut it, Lukas...' Charlie inwardly hissed
"You know what I mean...Charlie" Lukas stated
'I really hope you're wrong...' Charlie inwardly winced
Bill slowly made his way upstairs and finally stood in front of Lilith's room and made to knock on the wall and said, "Um, Eliz-I mean Lilith? My mom made you breakfast."
Behind the door, Lilith was lying unmoved on her bed, but a dark green aura surrounded her before leaving Lilith's body forming an exact replica of her as she stretched out all the kinks in her body, looking sadly at the girl lying silent in bed. She then glared at the door as she made her way towards it with a bit of effort from nearly two weeks with no movement, undid the spell Nolan cast on the door and slowly opened it...
As Bill waited for a minute as he heard there was no noise and he thought, 'She must be asleep...'
He was about to place the tray on the ground until he heard a light shuffling from inside the room making him straighten his back as footsteps came closer and closer until the lock on the door turned and the door slowly opened.
Lilith peaked her head out and Bill barely held back at a shudder at seeing Lilith in such a state. Long messy wine-colored hair, dark bags underneath her dull amber eyes as if she been suffering through constant nightmares and her skin was pale from lack of sunlight. Overall she looked like a zombie from the movie Dead Snow.
"What?" She growled
He swallowed his fear as he told her, "My mom made you breakfast," he said, emphasizing the tray in his hands.
She raised an unamused eyebrow and said, "So a compulsion, lust and fertility potion wafting off the so-called polite offering is supposed to appetize me?"
"Wha-?" Bill couldn't finish as he suddenly found himself with her hand clenched around his neck in an iron grip, the tray, and all the contents fell to the ground spilling everywhere as her amber eyes turned black with hate as he choked in her grip.
She pressed him against the wall as he looked at her in shock, dawning horror and rage that his mother pulled this stunt and lied to his face, 'Damn it, mom!'
He tried to pry her hand off of him, but he shockingly found out that couldn't as he could already feel his lungs starting to starve from oxygen and then his attention was caught when he heard her speak, "Trying already to potion me, huh? What are you miserable fucks planning?"
She then tore open his shirt and bit into the crook of his neck as the both of them were suddenly taken into his memories of a couple minutes ago and him literally asking his mom if she potioned it and she lied right between her teeth.
'So he's not a part of it? Well, he can't be blamed if he was lied to by his own mother...What a cunt...' She concluded
"Hmm~," She said as she glanced at the nearly unconscious Bill and removed her teeth from his neck and released him from her grip as he slumped to the floor as he started to cough and hack as he clutched his neck trying to get air into his lungs.
"Fuck..." He gasped as he looked at Lilith who was glaring at him with dark eyes, his blood dripping from her lips.
She then wrenched him up by his hair, looking deep into his blue eyes as she hissed, "You are everyone else's warning. If your mother tries this shit again, you will find the entire living room covered in the blood and body parts of your entire family and I'll save you for last. Got it~?"
Bill nodded quickly, knowing that she was completely serious and when she released the grip she had on his hair he hauled ass downstairs, not looking back to see flames erupt beside Lilith who glanced beside her and said, "Nolan."
Nolan glanced at the mess on the floor and said, "My Lady? You've awoken already?"
"Unfortunately, Nolan. I am not the Queen," She said, as her eyes turned back to amber.
"Ambition...What happened?" Nolan concluded with slight disappointment that Ambition shrugged off
"A pathetic attempt to control the Queen through potions," She answered as her eyes turned cat-like and flashed red in rage as she spat out the remains of Bill's blood on the floor.
"I have a meal ready to be eaten on the bedside table or would you like a bath first?"
"I want a bath, but first burn it the pathetic slop on the floor, the scent of cheaply made potions disgusts me," She stated with a hiss as she pointed to the mess on the floor.
"Why, of course," He stated as he snapped his fingers and the food burned to ashes.
"I'll be right back...then you can carry me to the bath," She said as she made her way back to Lilith's side.
She laid down on top of Lilith's body to where she was absorbed into her skin before sat up with a bit of effort as Ambition cracked out several kinks in her neck with a loud snap as Nolan came back into the room to see Ambition with her arms for him to carry her.
After walking to the bathroom, Nolan then stripped her of her clothes as Ambition looked sadly at the state of her Queen's body, the black veins and cracks on her arms were growing larger and barely noticeable fractures were appearing on her cheeks.
Soon the bathtub was filled and Nolan placed her inside as he went about washing her as the two basked in the silence before he broke it and said, "Any news on Lilith?"
Ambition sighed and said, "The Queen is free from Despair's waters but now she is fighting the visions of her past enemies, long buried, but never forgotten."
"And she?"
"She made her way through a good one-tenth of them, the last time I checked."
He sighed in relief and said, "She's almost there?"
"Yes...But, here's the thing. Darkness going to try another takeover."
Nolan cracked his knuckles in reply before releasing them and continuing to wash her hair.
"Everyone else?" He asked
"Watching and waiting for now..." She said as Nolan dumped water on her head to wash away to remains of soap away.
"It's all up to Lilith now, isn't it?" He asked, softly as he pulled her out of the tub, draining it before moving back inside the bedroom and dressing her as he placed her back into bed.
Ambition yawned, knowing her time in Lilith's body was over and gave one last word to Nolan.
"Don't you worry. It's the Queen and she will come back, she's almost there. Just wait a bit longer..."
Nolan watched as she closed her eyes and fell back into a deep slumber as he shifted into his snake form and curled around her, as the slow rising and falling of her chest lulled him to a meditative state.
[Downstairs]
Bill made his way downstairs as his heart was still racing as he stomped his way back into the kitchen, not noticing that the two adult Potters had joined their son.
His shirt was torn open and he was clutching his neck in pain as Molly immediately made her way to his side, but he glared at her as he moved back several steps, catching everyone's attention.
"Bill, what are you doing? Stay still, you're hurt!" Molly chastised
"Yeah, because of you and your damn potions, mom. This is just like my 6th year all over again!" He snapped at her.
"What?!" Everyone shouted before spitting out the food they just put into their mouths into the napkins closest to them.
Charlie coughed and hacked out the pancake that was halfway down his throat into a napkin as Lily gave him a cup of water which he took gratefully as everyone glared at Molly.
"Goddammit, not again!" Charlie Weasley snarled, tossing his napkin on the table as he glared at Molly.
Ginny looked at her older brothers in question and asked, "What is it? What happened?"
Molly tried to say, "Nothing, I-"
"Like hell, it's nothing. You put potions in her food when you said that you didn't! You lied to me! You lied to my face!" Bill snapped at her
"William Weasley, you will not talk to me like that!" Molly yelled
"I'll talk to you in any way I see fit considering this-" Bill removing his hand from his neck showing the now purpling bite mark, bleeding as everyone winced in sympathy.
"She did this to you?" Lily gasped
"Yeah, but the strange thing was that when she bit me, I could see my memories."
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked
"Exactly that, when she bit me, I felt as if I was pulled into my own head and she could see the moment when I questioned mom about the meal she made for her and that was the only reason why I am still alive right now. She knew I had no part of it and now I have to issue a warning to all of you."
"A warning...?" Ginny asked, softly
"Yes, Ginny, a warning. I am that warning. The last warning. Mom, if you do that again, she will not just kill you, she will kill all of you-" He said, directly his hand over his entire family making them gulp, "and then me last so I suggest you all take that warning to heart. I mean it! All of you!" He finished with a shout causing all his younger siblings to violently flinch.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Everyone please, heed my warning. I do not want to come running back here because my entire family has been slaughtered because of someone-" Directing his glare towards Ron who slouched in his chair and Molly who's frown only grew larger, "pissed her off. Let sleeping dragons lie and just leave her alone. Please."
All his younger siblings nodded, although Ron had no intention of going through with his promise as he believes that Dumbledore and the marriage contract made between his mom and the Headmaster will protect him and all she needs to do is sign it with her blood.
Bill then collapsed into a chair as he clutched his shoulder in pain as he hissed, "Damn does she have a set of teeth on her."
Lily stood up and dragged Molly outside just as James said to Arthur, "Keep your wife in line or there will be consequences."
Arthur looked at him and immediately swore, "I had no idea she was planning on potioning your daughter and nor do I have any part or wish to be a part of potioning your daughter, so mote it be."
He was then surrounded by a blue glow, signaling that he was telling the truth.
James sighed and said, "Thank you. I am sorry I was-"
Arthur shook his head and said, "It's okay. I would be in a foul mood as well if I was in your position."
Arthur then tended to his eldest son as his younger siblings surrounded him with a worried look on their faces, while Ron planned on all things he planned to do with Lilith.
(AN: Trust me...you don't want to know what goes through the trash compactor's head)
[Hallway]
Molly was shoved into the hall as Lily put up a silence spell so they their conversation couldn't be eavesdropped upon as she glared at her and hissed, "What the hell are you doing? Trying to potion my daughter!"
"I just wanted to do was give her a little push..." Molly said, softly
"A push! She had just lost her boy-fiance and the boy she considered a son just 13 days ago and you wanted to potion her to give her "a push"!"
"She can't mourn them forever!" Molly stated with a frown
"So you if you lost Arthur and all of your children in the next hour, wouldn't you spend a long time mourning them?" Lily stated with her hands on her hips
Molly couldn't answer that, but said, "But don't you want your daughter to be happy and out and about? Haven't you been talking about how the days you would go shopping and bond with her like mother and daughter? Haven't you wondered for hours about whether she would be more like you or James? Not this violent child wasting away in bed?"
Lily sighed, knowing that Molly had a point but said, "Yes, I do, I would want nothing more but potions are not the answer. What were you thinking?"
Molly sighed and said, "As I said, I just wanted to give her push and besides Ronnie will need a good wife in the future and considering how Ginny and Charlie are-"
"What a minute, what? Charlie isn't in a relationship with Ginny and he told me that he doesn't think of her that way."
"Things can change through time," Molly said, waving off her statement
Lily slammed her fist on the wall as her magic circled around her as her green eyes bored into Molly's brown ones and said coldly, "My daughter will not be marrying Ron, she will choose who she gets to marry, if at all. Let her mourn."
"What if she doesn't? What if she wastes away in her bed from depression. Don't you want grandchildren? I, mean the one she had-" *Slap*
Molly clutched her cheek in shock as she looked at the trembling woman who looked at Molly with a heavy glare and gritted out, "Enough. Enough Molly. Whether the child on her phone is of her own blood or not is not your concern nor is it your place to judge. You are not her mother. I am and I better not hear anything about you trying to potion her again or you will not have to fear her killing you, I will get you first."
Lily then left Molly in the hallway making her way back into the kitchen as Molly clutching her cheek as her brown eyes glared into Lily's back.
She whispered, "Just a little bit sooner and the Potter name will fade into obscurity with Dumbledore on top of the wizarding world just like it should be."
[Kitchen]
James stood up when Lily made her way back into the kitchen to find only Arthur, James, Hermione, Ron, and Charlie still inside.
"Charlie, do you want to come back with us?" Lily said, tired as she tried to push back her headache
He shook his head, "Sorry mom, but I still need to stay here," using his eyes to point at Ron, making the two parents understand.
"We will see you first thing tomorrow," James said as Lily kissed Charlie on the side of the head before the two of them left.
Arthur stood up as Molly entered the room still clutching her cheek with a sour look on her face.
She muffed with a mutter, "Well I never..."
"Molly, we need to talk, now!" He said in a firm tone, before looking at Charlie, Hermione, and Ron and said, "You all can leave."
Charlie nodded and made his way into his shared room as Hermione and Ron followed after him, fully intent on complaining to him/berating him.
"Arthur, I-"
"No, Molly. You are going to listen to me, you've forced my hand. I thought you would have learned your lesson from Bill's sixth year when you made Bill's, Charlie's and Percy's years there a living hell. But I will not have you mess up, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny's years there as well. It pains me to do this, but you left me no choice."
She was going to refuse, but Arthur silenced her and kept her still as he used his family magic to force her to comply with the order, "Leave Elizabeth Potter alone."
Molly frowned at Arthur, but he wouldn't relent as this situation affected the entire family and he would not have Molly in her so-called infinite wisdom do something to set off the irritable dragon nursing her wounds in one of the bedrooms that could kill them all with little to no effort.
Molly was left alone in the kitchen as she chucked a plate at the wall in anger as she growled, 'Dammit! I should have ordered him that he couldn't use family magic against me. But, if I have him repeal it, then I put myself in a bad light and people will get suspicious. No matter...This is only a minor setback, soon she will be under our control along with Charlie and I will get my reward and be with my true husband.'
[Mindscape: Edge of Sanity]
Lilith had been continuously fighting for what seemed like days, blood, mutilated bodies, ripped off body parts, and viscera covered the used to be colorful leaf-covered ground, creating a mushy, thick mess as the scent of blood, sweat, viscera mixed with shit and created a foul smell only war soldiers would know.
She stabs one enemy in the stomach, clawing through his lower abdomen before she snapped his neck with a kick before punching a hole in another enemy's face, caking her left arm in a new layer of blood and brains before she pulled her arm out, leaving a gaping hole.
Then finally she came across the last five remaining who tried to get the drop on her, but she tackled the closest one to the ground, ripping out his ribs before using them to stab out his eyes and then pulled out his heart.
She then crammed the heart into the mouth and down the throat of an another enemy who choked and died on it before she jumped on the tallest one remaining and snapped his neck before tearing the fourth one to ribbons.
Then all that was left was the last one as she slowly stalked towards him who flinched making Lilith's grin get a little bit bigger before she wrapped her legs around his arms and chest, preventing him from moving as she slowly crushed his head with her hands. He screamed before it was eternally silenced as his head popped like a zit in her grip.
She then jumped off the headless corpse and sighed, looking up at the sky before looking down at the carnage she created in silence. Before she could do anything else, a slow series of claps rang out into the area and Lilith came face to face with her own dark counterpart.
"Nyx..." She softly stated
She grinned as she said, "Little Elizabeth."
Lilith's eye slightly twitched cracking the ground and the surrounding area.
Nyx tutted, waving a finger back and forth, "Temper, temper..."
The bodies and body parts melted into blood, as blood turned the area a dark scarlet instead of pink as Nyx made to get up to Lilith's face, their noses nearly touching.
"So...You are the last obstacle," Lilith stated
She smiled, tilting her head and said, "Don't think it will be easy."
Lilith returned the grin and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
The two attacked each other in a clash of equally matched power as the sounds of battle started up again. Further away, the figures that made up Lilith were watching the battle with either black or slightly worried faces as they knew the battle would be long and vicious.
The battle to determine who would be Queen or they would turn into that...
The fight will reach its' climax soon enough.
Ending the chapter. You didn't think I would give you all the answers now, did you? Let us check on the Dursleys, shall we?
Ending it! I am ending the chapter! Damn, this I literally created my longest chapter yet, no bullshitting it was 50 pages on Word and I couldn't force all of you to sit down and read all 25,000~ words it so I decided to break it up into three chapters. This is the first one. Also, 'that' you will understand with time and will be explained later. The next one is of the Dursleys and the 9th is a surprise and I hope all of you enjoyed this one and will enjoy the upcoming ones later today.
Thank you for all the reviews
Kreceir: Thank you, the order of cunts...well, they have been given a lot to think about. Pity...Trust me, you will know Lilith's respond to pity later. Remus is scared shitless of Lilith and should be and don't worry, I have something planned for him along with Dumbledore. Ron, well...I have plans for him and his mother and Hogwarts, I plan on giving her a grand entrance. As of right now, Lilith has her tattoos back. Thank you for all the love.
Greer123: Sorry for the long wait, I had to literally rewrite the entire chapter or else I would have finished this two weeks ago. Thanks for loving this chapter and I hope you enjoy this one.
Sakura Lisel: Trust me, Lilith has more important things to worry about then her hair, although she will be miffed that someone had the balls to mess her while she was unconscious, her tattoos were removed when Albus put the seals on her, trying to bend her to his will, but she didn't notice at first due to the situation she was in and the news of her family and orphanage were now up in flames didn't give her a chance to recognize them missing. As you should know, Dumbledore always plans things out for his greater good and him manipulating the Potters is just another thing. They are just too deep in his ass to be removed, but Charlie isn't. The Potters just want their daughter back, but they go about it the wrong way, Molly pointing out her son in a bad light causing Lily to slap her in something to behold. Now, you will get more information later...Anything else would be spoilers and you wouldn't want that would you?
Guest#1: But, where is the fun in that. Slowly tormenting them and destroying everything they have worked for is much sweeter.
Perseus12: Just you wait, both of them are getting an ass-kicking, but I am not telling you when or how...just yet.
Stratos263: I know right, don't you worry he will get his just desserts.
Pravus666: I am glad you like and I hope you enjoyed the Dursley's end. Trust me, you will see what will happen in the next chapter of Lilith getting into the swing of things. I also plan on Dumbles planning to mold Lilith's mind, but I will put in your idea, but that is all I will say. Lastly, people will question Dumbles, especially considering what Charlie did on the 20th day and James and Lily are in a shitton of trouble. Thank you, dear Pravus, for the 12/10.
Nomadic Chaos: You'll see the fight between Lilith, Cami, and Vad will come up soon, but I will not tell you yet, dude. Also, Lilith is already into Dark magic, but I am not sure about Sith magic as it would make her too overpowered and I already had something that connects with her emotions. It's sort of like the Lantern Corps and how they use their powers but it is connected to her emotions and her tattoos. Also, we shall see, won't we?
Guest#2: Yeah, I know right. Just wait for the next chapter. The Potters...well, I am not telling. Hermione well...I am not big on her character. She's sort of a nagging brat and it rubs me the wrong way. I am glad you enjoy my story.
deadtoke14: Thank you and I am glad you enjoy the story!
Darklight-Dragon21: Don't you worry, Lilith has several asses to rip apart and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Yeah, that's what I had planned, I always hated Snape and Lilith is taking nobodies' shit. Sorry for the long wait.
kingsoud: Don't worry, I have an ending planned for Dumbledore, but sadly it won't be in the next chapter. It will make waiting for his death worth it, but I am not spoiling it. I am sorry for the long wait.
