~Chapter 9~
[Fast Forward: 18th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
Lilith still hadn't moved of her own accord since Ambition took over her body for a short while, she was getting paler and skinner, no matter what Nolan put in her stomach, her magic seemed to make her decay as the days went on and on. The black veins stretched on to cover all of her arms and onto her legs, while the cracks forming on her face grew deeper.
Nolan could barely sleep and it didn't help that, he had been having nightmares of his Lady turning into one of those...things.
Charlie was in no good mood either, Ron's nightly attempts only made him very livid as he could barely keep a grip on his temper as his attitude towards Ginny and Hermione soured as the days went on.
[Flashback: Ron and Charlie's Bedroom]
Charlie was sitting on the desk that Ron never used as he just finished his summer potion's essay and he was just about to put all his stuff away until Hermione came into the room.
"Charlie..."
"Hermione. What is it?"
"Have you finished your homework?" She asked, making Charlie roll his eyes as he thought, 'Of course, Hermione, is that all you think about it?'
"Yeah, I just finished my potions essay," He said with a yawn as he had it in his hand in the middle of placing it into his bag.
Hermione grabbed it out of his hand and started to read it before Charlie snatched it back, "Don't you know it is rude to snatch things out of another person's hands?"
"I am just going to review it for you," She said, softly
"No, because whenever you 'review' my papers and when I finally get it back from you its' covered in red markings making it so I can't even read it and I have to spend the night before the damn assignment is due to redo it all over again."
"Well, maybe if you allowed me to overlook your work more often, this wouldn't happen."
"And I did do that, then I would never get any sleep before today."
"Just give me the paper!" She said, grabbing the paper
"Dammit, Hermione!" He said, trying to pull the paper out of her grip
RIP~!
The two of them held both pieces of his report before Hermione dropped the pieces and said, "This wouldn't happen if you just gave me the report."
Charlie felt something snap from within him as he slowly looked up to glare at Hermione who froze at his cold look and said, "What part of no, means no, to you Hermione? When I said, I didn't want your help, I meant it. Is it so hard for that bushy head of yours to comprehend that your opinion is not needed in some cases or do you just butt in for the hell of it?"
"Charlie-"
"Don't you 'Charlie' me! You had this coming for a long time, you just don't know when to quit. You lord your opinion over everyone, Ron may take it but I won't, not anymore and I sure as shit know that everyone at Hogwarts is sick to death of it and I know that Lilith won't give two flying fucks about your opinions either! You need to realize you are not my mother and never will be and I think Merlin's saggy balls you aren't! I'd scalp myself if you were, this overbearing nature of yours has gone on for long enough!"
Hermione turned red and said, "How dare you say that to me, Charlie Sirius Potter! Who helped you discover what Qurriel was planning during the first year! Who told you that it was a Ballisk attacking the students during the second year! Who helped and was by your side during the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament!"
"Don't you dare throw that shit at me, Hermione Jane Granger!" He snapped, nearly unhinged as she backed away, she thought for a moment that his eyes flashed a pumpkin orange before turning back to green as he continued his tirade.
"First of all, you weren't anywhere near as helpful as you make yourself out to be. During the first year, we all thought it was Snape who was going to steal the stone, not Qurriel. The second year, you left clues in multiple books that I had to search for and through for hours to find a single fucking book where the answer was at the end and I had to do it alone as we both know how much Ron hates the library. Third year, you weren't helpful at all considering you forced me to be banned from Hogsmeade visits during that year and you destroyed my broom that I got from Sirius as a gift!"
"I thought it was a trap from Petergrew, I just didn't want you to get hurt," She replied
"My dad is auror and is my mom is a prodigy charms master who charms both my dad and my brooms with anti-tampering spells enough times that she could do it in her sleep and with her hands tied so your statement is shit. McGonagall stripped it down so much that when it wasn't even hexed in the first place and I couldn't even ride the damn thing. All that shabby broom that was hastily put together was good for was kindling."
Hermione wanted to curl into herself as Charlie continued, "Finally, you helped me and was by my side during the beginning of the tournament? Ha! What a laugh, I know exactly what side you were on, Hermione. You are a fence sitter, you weren't against me, but you sure as shit weren't with me either. You gave me nothing but a list of complicated spells that didn't do shit against the dragon. I got the idea of flying on my broom at the last second when I went outside a couple days before the task to clear my head."
She trembled before she tried to speak before Charlie interrupted her, "Just leave me alone, Hermione. I need to complete this damn essay or I am never going to get a break, now please leave."
"Charlie-" Smash!
Charlie buried his fist into the wall beside him, cracks forming around the hole he created as his knuckles started to bleed as he looked down at her fallen form with cold orange eyes and said, "Don't make me repeat myself. Now, go."
Hermione then rushed out of the room in tears and when he was sure that she was gone, he spelled the door shut before he blown back by as massive nosebleed as he heard Lukas cackling in his head, "Good. Very good. Poor beaver teeth deserved it though. So cruel, I love it."
'Shut it,' Charlie hissed as he wiped his nose on his sleeve, smearing the blood on his arm as he leaned against the cold wall.
"When will my hell end?" He asked himself
Lukas replied, "When you finally accept me."
Charlie groaned as he leaned against the cool wall, trying to regain his strength before he decided he sat around long enough.
He then went downstairs and was forced to listen to Molly berate and scold him for over two hours and when she was done he asked, "Can I be excused?"
Molly let him leave and as Charlie made his way up the stairs, he saw Hermione leaning against the wall looking smug, expecting her heartfelt apology.
However, she fell to the floor when Charlie glared at her, his green eyes flashing orange causing her fear to spike, as the two exchanged no words and he left for bed as Hermione watched him leave as she went to tell Dumbledore that Charlie was unstable.
[Present]
Ever since then, Hermione had been in a tiff, but Charlie ignored her every step of the way, making her frustrated that she couldn't cow him into line.
Ginny kept trying to flirt with him, but he ignored her and he would bury her if she kept up this whorish act of hers.
His nightmares were seeping into his naps, making him snap awake in a cold sweat as they kept getting more and ghoulish as each one passed. His hair was now a patchwork of black and silver as he suffered through continuous migraines and nosebleeds making him pale as he felt that he was losing his damn mind.
He felt like he was wanted nothing more than to rip off somebody's face. Charlie sighed as he dragged Ron away from Lilith's room, unaware that Nolan was slightly pouting as he prepared a slew of beartraps ready to be used.
[Potter Manor]
James and Lily were resting on the couch before the floo rang and it was Dumbledore who said, "James, Lily, may I come in?"
"Why, of course, Albus," James said
Dumbledore then entered through the floo dusting himself off as he took a seat in a single chair as Lily prepared snacks as set them down on the table as Albus helped himself as the three enjoyed the silence before he broke it and said, "I have something that involves your daughter."
Lily asked, "What do you mean?"
"Have either of you made any progress on getting Elizabeth down?"
James sighed, "No, that damn snake won't let us pass and the strange thing is every time we try to get close to her bedroom, we feel horrible pains like our organs are eating itself."
Dumbledore widen his eyes, "Really?"
Lily nodded, "I think he might have cursed us. Dammit, I just want my baby back."
Albus smiled and said, "I think I can help with that."
"How?" The two asked
Dumbledore pulled out a contract written on parchment and James immediately recognized it and stated, "A marriage contract?"
"Yes, between both your daughter and Ron," He nodded
Lily stood up and yelled, "What?! Why do you want our daughter to marry Ron? I mean, he's not a bad kid, but...he's not really marrying material."
James nodded and said, "I don't think its' a good idea, Albus. That and she just lost her husband and her son and I rather not have any more of her ire pointed at me. I want her back, but I don't think a contract, connecting her to another person will make her any happier with us."
"You really think I would do something that wasn't for your benefit?" Dumbledore said, in a disappointed tone
James and Lily immediately backtracked and said, "No, never. It's just...she..."
Albus pushed the contract forward and had a bottle of ink and a quill and said, "You just need to sign it. There is even a hole in the contract where if she doesn't want to marry Ron, the contract will become null and void."
The two looked at the contract before looking at Albus who gave him his best sparkling smile and they signed it as he grinned at them.
He stood up, touching each of their shoulders saying, "It's for the greater good. You will realize it when you have your daughter back in your arms."
"Of course, Albus," They stated, softly
Albus then vanished into the floo as the two parents sat on the couch.
Charlus and Dorea who were residing in their frames in the living room were shaking their heads at the couple, to which Lily noticed and asked, "What is a matter?"
Dorea replied, "What's a matter? What's the matter is the two of you are idiots of the highest caliber."
James snarled, "Dammit mom, this again?"
"Don't talk to your mother like that, James. You become more of an idiot as the years progressed."
Lily said, "Lord and Lady Potter, please, we just want our daughter back. Is that so wrong?"
"And it's none of your concern, as it is our choice," James finished
"You bet your ass it is our concern, James. You are so blind you can't even see what is right in front of you! I'm so glad I never gave you leadership our family or you would run our family into the ground. If it wasn't for your mother I would have disowned you outright for what you did on Albus' order." Charlus growled, shaking his head in disgust
"What is your problem with Albus, anyway? You never told me, even after all these years," James asked, as he never knew the problem his father had with Albus
"Something a follower like you could never understand, considering you have your head so far up his ass to listen to my side anyway."
James snarled at the two of them, before grabbing Lily, leading her up the stairs and called over his shoulder, "We just want our daughter back and if having her marry Ron will bring her back to us, then we will do it. She will understand our reasons with time."
James and Lily then left for upstairs as both Charlus and Dorea watched them go.
Charlus pinched the bridge of his nose as he said, "My stupid son. You have no idea of how deep of a grave you dug for yourself and your wife."
His wife moved from her frame to his to touch his shoulder and said, "Don't you worry about it, dear. Even if our son and his wife are idiots, our grandchildren are not."
He glanced at his wife and said, "Charlie?"
She grinned and said, "Is starting to awaken from Dumbledore's control and he is supporting and protecting his sister from the shadows and he is also awakening his powers, something that James refused to do."
He sighed in relief and said, "So, our power won't die out. Good. Only you have any idea how livid I was at James removing his because 'Albus said it was bad.' I never felt so sick."
"Along with our other grandchild, Elizabeth, but she goes by Lilith and she is very powerful."
He looked at his wife fully and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, she is powerful as a Potter should be. She even has a snake companion who can transform from a snake to a human at will."
He grinned and said, "That's my granddaughter."
"But, Charlus, I suggest you brace yourself."
He frowned before nodding at her to go ahead and she said, "She was actually going to get proposed to."
"What?" He asked as his eyes widened
She nodded and said, "Apparently she was and she was captured by a team that Albus created and they only got her when she finished taking care of a group of enemies due to a cheap shot."
"Hmph. A cheap shot. Describes Albus to a tee. He wouldn't be able to shit right if he didn't have ten elves to help him. What happened next?"
"The whole house was listening to what I heard them say is a voicemail. It detailed of a young boy who called him her son and another boy who was supposedly her boyfriend who got her a ring, but something happened on the other line to where both where both of them are missing."
"Wait a minute, son? And a fiancee?"
"Must have been blood adopted. Her body would be too young to convince considering the tone of the child but when she got the news of their disappearance, she cracked the foundation of Grimmauld's Place so she must have thought of him as her own. Along with her fiancee. He must have been really special to her..."
Charlus shook his head and said, "James is so lucky that I am stuck in this frame or I would tear him a new asshole to shit through. I want to see and know my granddaughter, dammit."
Dorea wrapped her arms around him as she said, "She will find a way out this. She is a Potter, she may not want to be due to their idiocy and Albus, but if she is anything like us and the rest of our family she will find a way out of this."
"The old fuck needs to die soon. I want nothing more than to show him how you never fuck with a Potter," He growled
"Oh dear...I get those miserable blue eyes of his," Dorea stated with a grin
"Deal! But I get to castrate him," Charlus smirked
"Why of course," She nodded
"You treat me so well, you know that?" He smiled, looking at him
They smiled at each other before leaving their frames for a more pleasureful activity.
[Late Evening]
Nolan was resting beside Lilith when heard a noise outside Lilith's door and groaned and hissed, "When will they learn," before he stopped when he found it was a different scent then all the others and it was Charlie, not Ron and thought, 'What is he planning?'
He then disappeared into the shadows to watch and saw Charlie running his fingers through his hair as he took a seat in front of Lilith's door and listened to him as he started to speak.
"Hey, Lilith. It's me, Charlie. You probably don't know me very well considering it has been a very long time. I just want to say that I am very sorry for what happened to you and because of how stupid everyone is being. Trying to tell you what to or what to be. I am not surprised that you hate everything around you and that you hole yourself up in your room, not that I blame you. Also, I should warn you that both Ron and Hermione are planning on turning you into the "perfect Gryffindor girl." Considering what I heard them say what they want to change about you, I am kind of glad you have Nolan with you to watch out for you. If that wasn't enough, you should see the horrible dress Molly plans on making you wear for your supposed wedding with Ron. Though I don't know why she has the idea of trying to make you marry Ron, in the first place. Hell, a rabid wolverine would make a better husband than Ron. They eat better and they don't look like they just went through a food fight."
Nolan raised an eyebrow and continued to listen to Charlie as he continued to speak, "You probably are wondering why Ron hasn't bothered you at all today, well- I kind of beat him with a bat, tied him to his bed and then I took his wand so he couldn't get free."
Nolan snorted as he found his respect for the black and silver-haired boy rising higher as he continued to listen, "Anyway, our par-No. James and Lily are still trying to get into your room for your own good, but whenever they try to get upstairs they filled with horrible cramps. Can't really say I am sorry for them, though. I hope you can give me a chance to become your brother or at least get to know you. Sleep well...sis."
He then made his way back to his bedroom to try and get some sleep as Nolan watched him leave.
Nolan walked out of the shadows and said, "Your brother's rather interesting, my Lady. Now you have 12 more days before I have to fulfill your last request."
[19th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
It was 8 o'clock at Grimmauld's and everyone was eating after Arthur checked for potions much to Molly's irritation, but nobody was taking a chance with her, Alastor point-blank refused to eat anything of Molly's since the news of her trying to potion Lilith was brought up at the last meeting.
Charlie sighed as he rested on the couch listening to the twins converse before Molly walked into the living room and called for everyone to clean the house once again, causing the twins to groan before getting up to do what she said.
When Molly left the room, Charlie pulled the twins away and said, "Can you two do me a favor?"
Fred stated "That depends-"
George finished "Little Charlie~."
"I need you to keep Ron busy and make sure that he doesn't get anywhere near Lilith's room."
"What's in it-" George started
"For us? Besides not dying at the hands of your-" Fred continued
"Violent sister?" George concluded
"I have a bag of gallons in it for you and you get free reign of using Ron as test dummy?"
Fred looked at his twin and said, "He has such a lovely offer, dear George. Should we?"
"Hm~, we could humor him for the moment. For how long?"
"I'll throw in a bag of Honeydukes best chocolate bars and a bag of exploding sour sugar slugs if you don't ask?"
"Deal!" The two said as Charlie gave them the bag of gallons.
"You better hurry before mom comes back."
"Thanks, you guys are the best."
"We know," They simply stated, before leaving Charlie to his devices
Charlie then left the house, unaware of Walburga Black who was watching him leave the house with an interested glare.
As Charlie quickly closed the door behind him, he made his way to the bus stop called for the knight bus and said, "Take me to Pivet Drive."
"Ten sickles."
Charlie gave him the sickles as he held on as the knight bus then sped down the road before reaching his destination.
"We are here, young Potter."
"Thanks, Stan."
He waved at him before Stanely tore down the road until Charlie could no longer see him.
Charlie then looked at the sign and said, "Pivet Drive, huh?"
"You better get moving, shit for brains. People will notice you don't belong here if you keep standing around like a lamp post."
[Pivet Drive]
Charlie made his way into the neighborhood until he came across a house that was all boarded up, the grass was overgrown as the house looked to be falling apart as the years went, it was an eyesore but people couldn't find it within them to tear the house down.
He went around back, pulled apart several planks of wood so he could enter inside and landed on the dust-covered ground, stirring up years of dust, causing him to have a sneezing fit before he got himself under control.
"Merlin..." He whispered, waving his hand in front of his face to push back the dust, before lighting his wand with a simple "Lumos."
The light enveloped the room showing the living room of the ex-Dursley house and looked around and saw pictures of the Dursleys, but none of Lilith. He then explored the rest of the house, finding the main bedroom, before finding two more where one was filled to the brim with broken or discarded toys.
"Where the hell is her room? I've checked every room in this damn house?" He hissed, getting really annoyed as he looked for any proof that his sister lived her before Lukas chimed in, "You didn't check everywhere...Check the cupboard."
"What?"
"You heard me. The cupboard under the stairs."
"But, it has ten locks on it? How could anyone..." Charlie trailed off as he remembered all the stories he heard about how vile Petunia could be
"Get moving...Don't just stand there all day thinking about it."
Charlie swallowed as he stood in front of the cupboard door and undid all the rusty locks one by one and pried the rusty wooden open with all his strength until it finally gave in and opened, but it caused him to fall on his ass.
When he looked up, he froze as he looked at the bloodstained walls for what seemed like hours, before Lukas snapped out of his shock first, releasing a torrent of curses that could cause a sailor and war veteran into a blushing school girl.
"Sis...What the hell happened in this cupboard?" He asked himself as he reached out to the touch the wall, as Lukas yelled at him, "Wait! Don't touch the bl-" But it was too late as Charlie's hand had touched the blood-stained wall and the two of them were thrown into a torrent of violent visions.
Charlie was forced to witness his sister being violently beaten and sodomized by the Dursleys. As she was forced to clean and cook for them from the time she could walk. The screams and curses of them shouting at her ringed in his ears along with the sound of her bitter weeping in the dead of night, as it was the only time she could freely do us until she couldn't anymore. All the whippings, all the broken and dislocated bones. The hunger of being near food and forced to cook for you tormentors and not allowed to eat any of it. Forced to eat form the garbage or starve and be beaten to death, forced to become a simple plaything and slave for a sadistic family who tormented her only because she was different.
Charlie then released all the contents of his stomach on the floor as he clutched his head as if in horrible pain. He started to bitterly weep and he faintly realized that Lukas was doing the same except he was violently cursing under his breath.
"She...Eliz-No, Lilith. She was tortured here..." He said, vomit still covering his mouth as he dry heaved as he held himself, trying to calm his racing heart
"No shit, Sherlock...But this just proves that Dumbledore's greater good is a load of croak!"
"This could have been me...I could...I...I-Aaaaaahhhh~!" He roared as he punched the floor again and again as he started to weep as the bitter reality hit him like the Hogwarts train.
'It could have been me...I would be the one tortured...raped...Sis...I'm sorry... I'm sorry. It's their fault. They placed her here...on Dumbledore's orders no less. I hate them...Why, why her?'
He trembled on the floor as Lukas could do nothing, but watched with awe as Charlie snapped the chains of Dumbledore's control and the secret locks he placed on his magical core. The youngest Potter wept until he felt he couldn't anymore as he felt magic flood through him.
"Charlie...Charlie, get up."
'Yeah...I know.'
"You..."
'I'm fine. No, I'm not actually. I am pissed as all hell, I want to rip somebody's head off.'
"What about your idiotic cocksucking parents?"
'They will get theirs. If they won't tell them of their massive fuck up of leaving her at the Dursleys then I will.'
"She might not want her past exposed."
'True. But it is the only way to make them realize how big their fuck up is and if they try to use that against her, well...we can always just give them a good kick in the ass before she or Nolan takes care of the rest.'
"So you see things my way, now, huh?"
Charlie gave a bitter chuckle and said, "Apparently so...Let's get out of here, but first things first... I need proof."
"What are you planning?" Lukas asked
"We are just taking a trip to the hospital...if this doesn't prove my point, nothing will," He whispered, before leaving, but not without burning every single picture of the Dursleys as he spat on the ashes.
Charlie then cleaned himself before looking back at what remained of the pictures of what used to be the happy Dursleys.
"May you have nothing but endless suffering in the afterlife, you pigs..." Before leaving the house altogether.
He then walked into town, leaving the neighborhood as he let his legs and magic lead him to where he wanted to go, however, he bumped into an older man who was clutching a stack of newspapers.
"I'm sorry sir," Charlie said
"It's alright you man. Are you alright? You look like you been having a bad morning?"
"It's fine...I was just looking for some newspapers to pass the time."
"Well, I was going to throw out these old newspapers, although I enjoy reading them to my grandkids."
"Are they really that interesting?"
The older man gave him a grin and said, "You must not be from around here. Not surprising, considering that she is all over the newspapers."
"Who is she?"
"She goes by the name...Lilith Halestorm, known as the Dark Angel as she saved over a hundred reported children abandoned, but people think she saved a lot more. She is actually the youngest person to open a business, an orphanage to be exact. But it's a damn shame it was burnt down."
'That's what she meant by her babies...' He inwardly sighed
"Well, young man. You can have them. I have places to be. Be safe now, the streets are not good for someone like you, you know?"
Charlie took the newspapers and said, "Thank you."
"Have a nice day, young man."
Charlie nodded as he waved to the older man who walked away as Charlie made to read as many of the newspapers as he could and read and re-read all the stories of his sister and smiled looking at everything she had done, before frowning at what become of her.
The last one made him fight to keep a grip on his emotions as it showed Lilith at her happiest before he stood up and made his way to the hospital where she was taken to when she was saved by the Dursleys.
[Hospital]
Charlie walked through the doors, the newspapers were all rolled up and shrunk to fit in his pocket as he observed his surroundings, letting the feeling of his first visit at a muggle hospital wash over him quickly before he walked up to the attendant manning the front desk who politely asked, "What do you need, sir?"
"Can you direct me to the doctor that took care of um-Lilith Halestorm?"
"Oh, are you another one doing a paper on present heroes, right?"
"Yeah, I just heard of her and I was doing research as I like reading about all of her accomplishments, but I wanted to hear about it from the man himself."
"He is taking care of another patient, but you reside on the chairs outside his office, just take two lefts and a right and you will be right in front of his office."
"Thank you..." He said, giving her a grin, which she returned with a smile
Charlie quickly made his way towards the doctor's office and placed a notice-me-not spell on the door and mixed it with a compulsion spell that would tell the doctor that he just missed him.
He then opened the door and closed quietly behind him before looking through the medical records he kept on file. He spent ten minutes looking for Lilith Halestorm but slapping his forehead when he realized he was supposed to be looking for Elizabeth Potter instead.
Charlie finally found what he was looking for and pulled the medical record out and made copies, but he couldn't bring himself to look at them in his office just in case if he flipped out and trashed the entire room.
After creating all the copies he could, he then placed the file back where it was before he snuck out of the hospital.
He shrunk it to the same size as all the newspapers he put in his pocket before he snuck out of the hospital and made his way back to the magical world and Grimmauld's Place.
He stopped by Honeydukes to get the twins their chocolate and sugar slugs as he bought several packets of candy for himself as he found himself standing in front of Grimmauld's Place, looking a little bit more haunted than before.
He ignored Hermione and Molly as they nagged him as he tossed the candy to the twins who nodded at him as he avoided Ginny who tried to attach herself to him as he made his way upstairs.
He spent the rest of the day looking at Lilith's past medical records and he had to fight not to puke when he saw the state of Lilith's back when they removed her shirt.
'Well, James...Lily, this is the last straw if you are not going to tell them. I will...This ignorant bullshit has gone on long enough,' He firmly stated as he laid back on his bed and waited for night to fall.
[20th Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
[Early Afternoon]
Everyone was at the kitchen table as several Order members were standing or leaning against the counter as they started to discuss the current situation.
Dumbledore started off first, "Has anyone heard of Miss Potter?"
His statement caused several people to groan in irritation, while both James and Lily looked down at the table, Charlie rolled his eyes at the statement as Molly, Hermione, and Ginny frowned in disapproval.
"So, I can take that as a no, then?"
"Yes, Albus, you can, and if this was what the meeting was called for then I am leaving. I could do some good patrolling instead of listening to this," Alastor stated with a harsh drawl in his tone
Albus said, "Alastor, you need to understand. Because Elizabeth was the actual person who defeated Voldemort on that Halloween night, he will be after her so she needs to be surrounded by her family and needs to be taught how to defend herself."
Sirius butted in, "I can understand the threat that the Voldemort brings to the table, but she can take care of herself just fine, Albus."
"She needs to learn how to deal with enemies the right way, not by killing."
"Then how do you expect her to take care of Voldemort? With hugs and kisses?" Charlie asked, wanting a direct answer
"Charlie, my boy, you need to understand that the concept of love is the answer to how to take care of Voldemort, but it seems after all this time, you still lack the power of this concept...such as the case with poor Cedric," He whispered, but several sharp ears caught his last phrase, making them glare at the older man who had his eyes closed as if in prayer.
"That motherfucker..." Lukas spat
'That motherfucker...' Charlie snarled
"Now, Elizabeth has spent enough time in mourning alone, she in need of family ties," He said, looking at the two Potter parents
Charlie rolled his eyes and said, "What did the two of you do?"
Lily looked at her son, saying, "We, I-, Charlie, you need to understand that this is very serious and we just can't have her locked up in the room forever."
"She lost her family and fiancee, I wouldn't expect her out for at least a month, what you do expect her to do? That she comes out all happy that she is who kidnapped her from her loved ones?"
James yelled, "We love her, dammit! We just want to talk to her and explain things, but that damn snake-"
"Is not the problem here, the problem is that you are trying to smother someone who has no qualms about killing everyone in this room. Just give her time to mourn and she will come down on her own accord, not anyone else's."
"But it has been three weeks. Apparently, she hung up over him that she spends all day in bed? She's acting like a baby when she has everything-"
"Shut the fuck up, Nymphadora," Charlie spat, making everyone freeze at Charlie saying such a thing
"What did you say to me?" She asked, standing up
"Don't start something you won't be able to end, sit down and shut it. I may not know her, but I won't have you insult her in front of me," Charlie stated as he moved to stand as well.
"Have you seen what she has done your friends and your parents along with Sirius and Remus?!" She yelled, looking at Charlie like he was stupid
He squinted his eyes at her and said, "Yes, I do know. However, Nolan specifically warned everyone that she would have a festering hate for all of us, and I along with several others in the room are not stupid enough to irritate her while she is in mourning."
"She's still a spoiled brat..." She spat
"Tell me, Nymphadora...Let me put it in a way that you can understand. If your parents were immediately killed and you were given sick leave to mourn them and an insensitive jack off tried to forget about them would you hex them to hell and back, yes or no?"
She didn't respond at first before stating, "...That's not the same."
Charlie rolled his eyes, saying, "Sure~, it's not. And Snape is the picture perfect teacher and the twins will give up pranks for jobs at the ministry."
"Never!" The two immediately announced, making Molly frown.
Charlie then got back to the matter at hand, "Your parents were there for you from the beginning, they nurtured and cared for you from the very start and you love them from the bottom of your heart. It was not the same for Lilith."
"She has both James and Lily now, shouldn't that count for something? Besides her Aunt and Uncle-" Tonks trailed off when everyone stiffened at feeling killing intent leaking from Charlie as his eyes became glacier-like as they bored into Tonks' own, causing her to tremble as it put Moody on edge.
"Don't. you. dare. mention those pathetic pieces of shit to me."
"Charlie, what's going on? What do you mean Aunt and Uncle? She was living under the care of several elves at one of the Potter houses for her own safety..." Sirius said, butting into the conversation
"So, that's what they told you? What a crock of shit..." Charlie said, his blood slowly beginning to boil underneath his skin.
"Charlie-" Hermione said in her scolding tone, but he was quicker
"Shut it, Hermione. This doesn't concern you."
Ron tried to come to her defense, but Charlie responded first, "Don't you dare say anything Ron. You are the worst of the lot considering that I had to stay awake ever since Lilith arrived to prevent you from setting her off. Only God knows what would have happened to everyone if Nolan wasn't here to stop you from entering her room."
"What?" Arthur and the twins yelled, glaring at Ron
"But...I'm her husband..." He squeaked out, as the room fell into silence
"What?" Charlie stated
"I'm her husband and I have the right to see her!" Ron said, strongly
Charlie slammed his fists on the table causing several cups and plates to rattle as he yelled, "Under who's orders! Under what power do you have the balls to say that you are her husband?"
"Your parents signed a contract stating that we will get married," He said, bringing Charlie's ire towards his parents.
Charlie snapped his head in their direction causing them to flinch as he said, "Why in the name of Merlin's giant balls would you do that? Of all things to do?"
"Charlie, please. You need to understand. I...We- we just want our daughter back."
"Then give her space to mourn, why did you think that having a marriage contract between Ron would do anything other than to make her want your heads on a pike more than usual."
Molly and Hermione were puffing up to berate and scold him until Dumbledore raised a hand to silence them and said, "Because it is for the greater good, my boy. Marrying young Ronald is for her own benefit."
Charlie looked at Dumbledore with a cold, blank stare that started to unnerve everyone in the room, especially Dumbledore before he let out a chuckle, his shoulders started to shake before let out a loud and roaring laugh as he tilted his head from the force.
The most unnerving thing of his laugh was that there was no humor in it before he quickly silenced himself as he gave a hard glare towards Albus.
He raised an eyebrow, "Really? That's your excuse? 'It's for the greater good?' Really?"
He shook his head and said, "No, I am going to show you what your greater good has caused unless the two of you wish to tell them now..." He finished looking at both James and Lily.
"Tell us what?" Moody said, both eyes looking at the two Potter parents, but neither of them responded making Charlie's eyes squint before he spat on the floor.
Charlie inwardly sighed, 'Well, this is it, Lukas. They really won't say.'
Lukas smirked as he conquered up a bucket of popcorn and said, "Give them an ass-ripping they'll never forget."
He said, "All of you stay here. If you move, I'll hit you with a bone-breaker hex that will leave you weeping for months."
His statement shocked everyone in the kitchen as he left everyone alone for the moment as Sirius looked at James and Lily and said, "What is going on? Is there something you are not telling us?"
"Paddy...I, I don't how to say it..." James said, really choked up
Remus felt as a heavy blade was hanging over his head as Sirius felt like he just swallowed a cannonball along with every hair on his body stand up straight as the room was filled with mummers about Charlie's latest outburst.
Several minutes later, Charlie slammed open the door, causing several people to jump as they looked at the blank face of the youngest Potter as he made his way into the room and cleared the table.
When Ron opened his mouth to whine, he was silenced by Charlie's cold glare making him snap his mouth shut.
He then tossed all the newspapers on the table and he said, "Read them. I want you to read them."
Several order members looked at Charlie before they picked up the newspapers and started to read, before Sirius, Remus, all the Weasleys, Dumbledore, James, and Lily joined them in reading.
They were tens of newspapers detailing most of Lilith's exploits during her time in the muggle world.
Rescuing children from the streets, exposing abusive families, destroying multiple drug and child sex rings along with prostitution was at an all time low along with drug abuse, child abuse, sexual assault of most ages.
Lily couldn't help but be a little proud of her as she whispered, "She did all this?"
"Yes. She did all of this and more...And this is not the worst of this situation," Charlie said, showing them another newspaper.
Grand Opening of the Black Cherry Orphanage by the Matron Lilith Halestorm, the Dark Angel!
The picture was of Lilith in the direct middle of the picture with a massive grin on her face, it was literally a mixture of both James when he had a brilliant pranking idea and of Lily when she found another spell to conquer. She was standing next to her fiancee who was hugging her pressing his cheek into hers from the right, while Jake was on her back pressing his cheek against hers from the left. She was surrounded by all her sisters, and at least 50 children smiling and waving at the camera along with Olivia and Elliot who were beside the three, grinning as they looked proud of the girl in the center of the photo.
The room was silent as everyone in the kitchen absorbed the picture as James wanted to cry looking at his daughter grinning up a storm as he felt like shit.
'Shit...' Sirius inwardly thought as he looked at Remus who looked at the picture, stiff in his seat.
Arthur looked back at Charlie who was still staring at the newspaper sadly and said, "Is there something else you wanted to show us?" Bringing everyone's attention to him.
Charlie sighed and said, "Yes. Now Dumbledore. You said, my sister out of the way, at her relatives, was for the greater good, correct?"
Dumbledore looked back at him and said, "Right."
Charlie's eyes bored into Dumbledore's as he said, "Wrong. Look at it," He said, tossing her medical file on the table as everyone read it and everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
He waited for a bit as everyone read the medical file and said, "Some of you probably don't believe this to be real, right?"
He was answered with several nods, then he pulled out a picture of Lilith's back and said, "Look at it," as he showed the picture to everyone causing multiple reactions.
Lily immediately vomited and James turned three shades paler as he looked like he was going to faint.
Remus felt his heart stop in his chest as Sirius, Arthur and the Twins raced to the sink to empty all the contents of their stomachs before returning back to their seats, looking two shades paler.
Ginny fainted on the spot from the gruesome image as Hermione looked green as she tried to hold in what she just ate. Ron didn't look up as he was still wondering what he was thinking of making Lilith do first for him.
Molly looked pale before looking at Dumbledore for strength as Dumbledore winced in his seat as he absorbed the picture. Moody shook his head as he knew the sight was going to haunt another one of his nightmares.
Tonks' hair turned a sickly yellow-green as she looked away from the horrible sight.
"W-w-what is that?" Arthur asked, feeling really lightheaded
"This was the state of Lilith's back when she was 8 and she was taken to the hospital for the first time after she saved a girl from being raped. Vernon repeatedly whipped her back with a spiked belt causing it to rot and puss over. The notes on it, say that it was one of the worst cases of abuse the doctors and surgeons at the hospital ever cared to witness. They had to perform three surgeries on her back and nearly lost her three times."
If that wasn't enough, Charlie continued, showing x-rays of Lilith's body showing pulled and torn muscles, broken and fractured bones along with cracks on her skull, multiple scars on nearly every area of her body, before he stopped and said, "This one picture upsets me the most."
As people glanced up at him, he put down the last picture, showing all of them a picture of Lilith, her tongue split down the middle as he said, "This was when Petunia tried to kill her by cutting her tongue out with a pair of rusty scissors after she saved the girl from being raped from Vernon."
That made James violently puke next as Hermione joined Ginny in the world of unconsciousness. The twins were close to tears as everyone was in different states of sadness, pity, or anger that someone could do this to a child of all things.
Charlie then looked at the pale forms of his parents and said, "You two left her there."
Lily cried, "We visited her!"
He shook his head, "You visited the house, but you have never met her once during all your visits. One to two visits of not seeing her I can understand, but all of them? Not once, did you see Lilith during all of the visits at that accursed house? Merlin, I don't which part is more sickening. The fact that you missed that there are no pictures of her anywhere in the house or the more noticeable cupboard under the stairs. You know, the one with the ten locks, a catflap, and enough blood in it to make it look like Jason Voorhes, Michael Myers, and Freddy Kruger had a slaughter contest inside."
Sirius was gritting his teeth with enough force to break them as he glared at both James and Lily with utter loathing as Remus was silently crying as he slumped in his seat, trying not to look at the horrible pictures of abuse as heard Mooney howled in pain.
Charlie turned his attention back to Dumbledore and said, "This is your fault, you know. I am not saying you have all of the blame because, my parents, being idiots believed you over their own experiences and it cost them everything. But you really are something, you know. They told you how much of a bitch Petunia is, hell Sirius, and Remus knew how much of a bitch she was but you send her there anyways and you nearly caused her death. When she finally escaped them and made a life for herself you took her away on what was supposed to be the best day of her life. You screwed her over. Twice. Robbing her of her childhood of which she will never get back and robbing her new family, her son, and her fiancee."
Dumbledore flinched when Charlie continued, "It makes me wonder who else you screwed over."
"Besides both us and Lilith," Lukas butted in, "and if they so happen to be a certain Dark Lord that we all love to hate. But congratulations, dear sir," He said, tossing everything else on the table and continued, "You screwed Lilith out of a childhood and possibly an entire family. You screwed me out of a sister. You screwed both James and Lily out of a daughter. You screwed Sirius out a goddaughter and the main thing-" opening the last newspaper in his hand and showed it so everyone could see.
Downtown is Chaos! Where is the Dark Angel when you need her?
"You screwed an entire community over and tossed them into chaos and probably caused an untold amount of scarring and pain on so many people that I am scared shitless to even think about," He finished as he looked at the headmaster and tossed him the newspaper as the old man's mind was running 100 miles per minutes, thinking about what to do.
He whispered, "Even an idiot knows you never leave anything you love in a place where there is only malice," before looking directly at Ron.
"Ron, let me make one thing perfectly clear and I hope you are listening to me. If you try to sneak into her room again I am beating you into a coma and even if you manage to get into her room, you don't need to worry about her killing you. That pleasure will all mine," He growled, his eyes flashing orange before he ran his hair through his now silver hair as his natural black tipped the ends.
Tonks looked at the picture of the sedated Lilith with her tongue split down the middle before leaving the kitchen entirely as Charlie continued to say, "I'm sick of it and I am sick of most of you in this room, leave her alone or Nolan will not be the only one you should be scared of," before leaving the kitchen and slammed the door shut.
James and Lily were silent as people looked at them before Sirius spoke, in a tone so filled with rage and disgust it could spoil milk, "How could you hide this from us? We deserved to know. I deserved to know what happened to my own goddaughter! I held her in my hands just minutes after she was born swearing to protect her from any harm!"
"Paddy-"
"Don't you dare 'Paddy' me, James! How could you hide this from me! From Remus?" Sirius snapped, nearly foaming at the mouth.
As the two parents tried to explain, Charlie made his way to an empty bedroom to try to get an hour of sleep as he was unaware of someone was watching the scene with both interest and amusement along with several Black paintings who smiled at him giving a good ass-ripping.
"In the words of my Lady, 'Someone's balls have finally dropped.' Good for you," before he vanished into Lilith's room once again as he waited for night to fall and the next day to arrive.
Before anyone already knew it, the day had turned into night as everyone turned in for bed or their night shifts as they all left Grimmauld with many things to think about.
[21st Day of Lilith's Stay at Grimmauld's Place]
[Mid Morning]
Nolan was wrapped around Lilith's neck until a dry groan made him immediately uncoil and shift into his human form as he whispered, "My Lady?"
Lilith's eyes snapped open, but instead of seeing two green eyes, Nolan saw only one green eye with white sclera and one pink eye with black sclera, making curse, "Oh shit..."
Nolan then made for cover as magic started to swirl around Lilith, startling some people who were resting in the living room or the kitchen before...
BOOM!
If the magical output didn't grab their attention before, the magical explosion sure did as everyone raced upstairs to see the smoldering remains of what was left of Lilith's room covered in dust, but then a loud blood-curdling scream startled everyone before what sounded like the tearing of flesh rang through the air for three minutes before it stopped.
The dust settled to see two Lilith's sitting before each other, panting, one was healthy with barbed wire tattoos constantly moving across her body like a knot snakes with straight black hair, black sclera, and dark pink eyes.
The other Lilith was paler and skinner like she melted off thirty pounds, making her look like All Might in his true form with her wild dark red wine-colored hair and dark green eyes.
Everyone looked at the two in shock as they thought, 'Two Liliths/Elizabeths?'
Lilith coughed as she glared at her dark counterpart and said, "Nyx."
Nyx smirked as she stood up as Lilith stood as well and said, "Little Elizabeth."
Lilith's eye twitched causing the room to form cracks once more startling their observers of whom they paid no mind.
Nyx shook her head, "Your temper is so cute, everything about you is...except your damn stubbornness. Even now, you still will not yield!"
"I am you as you are me, remember? As my darkness, I accept you fully and while I love a massive bloody slaughter as much as the next person, you would cause too much damage if left to your own devices."
She growled, "I'm not going back in there!"
"You have no choice in the matter. I have fought with you ever since I dealt with all my past enemies, clawing my way back to come back to reality and who knows how much time has passed in my absence. My children, my sisters along with Uncle El and Aunt Liv must be worried sick and you choose now of all times to be a fucking C bomb and stand in my way?"
"If it will get my freedom then yeah," She shrugged
"You know exactly what I do to C bombs, you know?" She quipped
The two stared at each other down before Nyx smirked and said, "Yeah, but you will never get the chance," Before grabbing Lilith by the neck and tossing her through the wall and following after her.
Everyone raced downstairs to see Lilith and Nyx in the midst of a fight and when one of the (AN: I'm too lazy to make up a name) Order member tried to stun the both of them, the two stopped, snapped in the lackey's direction before yelling, "Stay the fuck out of this!"
The two then smashed their right fists into his head, spraying his blood everywhere before once more attacking each other, literally destroying the living room in the process.
Nyx punched out at Lilith, but she avoided it, grabbing her arm, kneeing her right in the stomach, before Nyx retailed with an elbow to the cheek, forcing Lilith to let go of her arm.
Lilith then tackled her to the floor, smashing her head into the ground, before Nyx switched positions and started to wail down on Lilith's face, managing to get three hits in before Lilith headbutted her, forcing her away, leaving her to crash into the living room table as she broke her nose.
Nyx flipped through several handsigns, touched her throat and blew out a torrent of flames, which hit Lilith directly, as Lily fell to her knees and was going to start crying until the flames cleared and it showed Lilith completely unharmed, untouched by the flames, which she put out with a wave of her hand.
"Hmph, is that it? Don't tell me that's all you've got?" She said, tilting her head to the side
"Of course not," before she once again attacked Lilith, channeling her magic and made to thrust it into her face, but Lilith grabbed her wrist and forced her hand into the air as Nyx released the blast, causing a massive hole to appear on the floor above them.
Lilith then punched her repeatedly in the stomach and followed up with a kick that caused Nyx to crash into a wall that she pulled herself out of as the two stared each other down before Lilith snarled as her magic flared around her causing the air in the room to thicken.
"Enough! This shit is getting us nowhere! I'm done playing with you Nyx. Learn your place, which is under my heel!" She snarled before releasing wave after wave of killing intent at her before wailing on her, before Nyx managed to kick her away, cracking one of her ribs, following up by a kick that would have knocked out a few teeth, but she managed to cover her face, at the cost of bruising her left arm.
Nyx flared her own magic as the two prepared to end the fight as Lilith asked, "Did you truly think you can beat me, Nyx? Considering everything I have back at home?"
"What more do you have considering that they are dead?" Nyx spat, her eyes squinted
"You know, as well as I do they aren't...The shock...and fear for their safety, knocked me into that darkness for a while," Lilith stated, softly
"And that gave me a chance of breaking free. I'll never face such horrible feelings again," She growled, as she prepared to punch through Lilith's body
"Silly..." She whispered, shaking her head
"Silly, huh? I'll show you silly when I cave in your face!" She snarled before launching herself at Lilith, who met her charge with her own and they met in a clash of blood as Lilith was stabbed in her side as she punched through Nyx's abdomen.
Nyx had her chin on her shoulder as she coughed up blood and said, "Even now you still have your ruthless side."
"Tell me...Why choose now of all times to fight me?"
Nyx teared up as she said, "The pain of being abandoned again, forced into that living hell with nothing but the disgusting clothes on my back...just made me snap. I didn't want that...hell again."
Lilith pulled her tightly as she turned her around so no one could see her cry as she closed her eyes as she absorbed the magic surrounding them to heal her, bringing her back to her regular form.
'Callie...'
"Harley..."
'Jackie...'
"Evie..."
'Elliot...'
"Olivia..."
'Jake...'
"And Drake..."
"I missed them so much...It hurt too much, I...I-" She whispered as tears started to fall down her cheeks
"Ssh~," Lilith replied, rubbing her hair as Nyx started to dissolve and said, "They're our family remember?"
Nyx moved away from her shoulder, looked her straight in eyes as her sclera turned white as her irises turned green, "I expect them back, quickly you know?"
"Hey, it's us, remember?"
"Try not to fall so hard next time. If there is a next time. I will not go so easy on you."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Lilith smiled as Nyx gave a light laugh before dissolving completely, her aura circling around Lilith before being absorbed into her skin, the magical backlash caused the foundation to crack as her magic felt fully whole once again.
Her tattoos appeared on her skin as a mixture of spiked veins that coiled around her legs and arms in rapid speed, almost as if they were happy she was back.
She clenched her fist as she felt everything was in order and gave a dark smile as she started to stretch, "Sweet Merlin, it has been too fucking long~..."
Nolan then hugged her from behind, making her slightly stiffen before she melted into his hug as he looked at her with a smile and said, "Welcome back, my Lady."
She kissed his forehead and said, "I'd told you I would be back, silly. You have my thanks for shielding me for so long...It must have been hell for you, wasn't it?"
"Actually, I had help," He stated
Lilith raised an eyebrow as Nolan pressed his forehead against hers as she looked deep into his mind from his eyes as she observed everything that Charlie did, all the stress, his talk to her outside her bedroom door, the ass-ripping he gave everyone yesterday.
"Hm~, I see..." She stated, emotionlessly
"I think you might want this back first," He said, showing her the ring as she smiled as Nolan placed it around her neck as she touched it.
"You always know how to make me feel better," She said, looking at him
"It's my job after all," He said as he watched her walk close to the Order members, but more specifically Charlie who was looking at Lilith and her back at him.
When she was a foot from him, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron stood in her way, as the tension to slightly rose, when Hermione opened her mouth, Lilith's eyes flashed her magic forcing all three of them to have their heads smashed into the floor, as she walked past them.
She finally stood in front of Charlie who remained as still as a statue before she leaned down and kissed his forehead like she did to all the children back at the orphanage whenever they did something good.
Charlie looked surprised and not even Lukas could say anything, all he could do was blush as Lilith stepped back a bit as Charlie touched his forehead as red dusted his cheeks and asked, "What...was that for?"
"That...was for protecting me from your miserable friend along with Nolan. I will talk with you later."
He nodded, before his mind caught on with the word, 'Later,' "Later? Where are you going?"
Lilith stuck her tongue out at him as she smiled, "Training and hunting."
"Miss Potter, now that you are well, we need to-" Dumbledore couldn't finish his sentence due to Lilith smashing him into a wall, making a Dumbledore-sized impression as Nolan smiled before getting her a pair of clothes.
"Pathetic cum swisher..." She groaned, rolling her eyes as she put her clothes
A skin-tight limited edition black cameo Sabaton Panzer Battalion T-shirt, with a pair of dark-washed bootcut jeans and a pair of matching army boots.
As Nolan handed her a mirror as she looked at her outfit, she then caught on to the color of her hair as she hissed, "Nolan?"
"My Lady?"
"Who. fucked. with. my. hair? Why the fuck does my hair look like a pre-teen's first period?" She gritted out as the floor started to crack with each word she stated.
Charlie slightly snorted in amusement, ignoring his mother's hurt look as she ran her fingers through her own hair.
"Apparently your mother wanted your hair back to its' natural color."
"You are fixing it back to black when I finish getting my affairs in order."
"You have to stay here!" Dumbledore ordered as he pulled himself out of the wall, causing him to fall to the floor.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, do not make me stun you again, young lady. Now, we have much to discuss along with your appearance as Britain's Child who lived."
"Child who lived? Seriously?" She asked, glancing at Charlie, who sadly shrugged in reply.
She cracked her knuckles as she manipulated her shadow, freezing everyone into place as she created spears pointed at everyone's neck, minus Charlie's as she said, "You have no choice in what I do, old man. I do what I want, whenever I want and however the fuck I want. You have no say and will never have any say. You push me, you lose your lackeys as I deal with you next."
Dumbledore gave her a disappointed look, but anyone could see how livid he was inward as he sighed and said, "Fine."
"Good old goat," She growled as she punched him in the epicenter of his face, knocking him out cold.
"Fucking cheap shot," She spat as she made her way passed Walburga's painting, whose curtains were open as she looked at her with interest.
"Nolan, if you would?" She said as Nolan shifted into a snake and coiled around her as she nuzzled against him.
She then raised her hand, channeling her magic before releasing it, directing it at the door with a BOOM!
The entrance to Grimmauld's Place was blown to pieces as she stepped outside and started to float into the air, before looking back once more at Charlie, before flying away in a sonic boom, as everyone watched her disappear.
"That's so fucking cool," Charlie whispered as he watched her fly away until he couldn't see her anymore.
"No shit..." Lukas whispered back, still a bit in awe
[Downtown]
People were fighting in the middle of the street as several fires were beginning to spread as people fought to protect what they had as they wondered where the hell was Lilith.
Those that Lilith kept in check with her fierce reputation of no bullshit, came back to take over Downtown in droves, if that wasn't enough several enemies who have been lying in wait to take over Lilith, knowing that they had no chance in a full fight with the witch were joining them as they wanted a piece of the action as well.
As the fighting continued, the skies thundered, causing several people to glance up until they felt someone flare their magic, causing everyone to stop fighting and look on the rooftop of the tallest abandoned building.
It was both Lilith and Nolan standing side by side as Lilith tightened her gloves around her as she hissed into the air with a massive grin that meant only pain, "I'm back~!"
Several things happened immediately after her announcement, several enemies just literally shit themselves knowing that they were going to go up shit's creek really fast, those who smirked thinking they could take her or prepared themselves to take her down and take her place and those who were on her side as they sighed in relief knowing things were going to be better from here on out.
The Queen is back and she is taking no prisoners!
[Flashback: Dark Lord Hideout]
"Well, well, welcome back...my son. And you even brought me a grandchild to make sure my empire lasts even longer as well. How nice."
Two simultaneous growls answered him, making him cruelly laugh.
"Don't be like that, after all, you didn't think I would leave you alone just because I abandoned you, did you? Oh no, if you were a squib, I would have had someone kill you off when we took over the muggle world, but instead, you were magical, but you never went to Hogwarts. Why is that?"
"Because who wants to go to a place named like that? Besides the name Dumbledore rubs me the wrong way," He spat
"And your son?"
"I'm ten you twat muffin," Jake groaned in irritation
Voldemort let out a torture curse that missed the younger boy as he hissed, "Mind your mouth, boy. I am not afraid to kill you, just because you have my blood running through your veins."
"Hmph, I think the guy sitting next to me, would object to that observation considering he has more balls than you do an actual face."
Drake let out a snort and said, "You are too much like your mom..."
"She would say and do a lot worse than that and you know it..." Jake said, rolling his eyes.
"Your mother, this so-called Lilith Halestorm, correct? Or should I say, Elizabeth Potter?"
The two didn't respond, but Voldemort could feel them glaring at him, making him grin.
"I see...the blood of both Potter and my son run through you. It would be a waste to spill such powerful blood. Hm~, I will leave you here for five days to give you a chance to think about my offer. You accept and I will let you out and you will enjoy my good graces. Refuse and I will break your minds and use your bodies to torment the true person who truly defeated me...on that accursed night," He hissed before leaving and slamming the door shut.
The slam of the door rang out into the cell, leaving the two in the dark.
"Dad?" Jake whispered
Drake wrapped his arms around his son, pulled him close and said, "Don't worry, Jake. When I said, I would propose to your mom, I meant it. Even if I have to go through all levels of hell to propose to her, I will and you will get your happy ending."
"Of course, dad. But the first thing we need to do is get out of this hellhole and make that noseless fucker pay," Jake snarled as he clenched his fist.
[Five Days Later]
The door was opened as Voldemort entered along with Bellatrix Lestrange as the two boys looked at them as they leaned against the wall.
The four stared at each other in the thick silence before Voldemort stated, "What are your answers?"
Drake and Jake glanced at each other before looking back at Voldemort and they said, "We accept."
Ending it! I am ending the chapter! I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter, though did you think I would give you answers so quickly on Drake and Jake's situation along with some of you are wondering why they said yes when they should have told the noseless fucker to shove it, well...That's for the other chapters.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the Dursley's pathetic ends, Pravus.
Also, I should ask all of you, should I make two stories based on this lovely story? One fanfiction is a sequel of this story when Lilith is with her family and move to America where she deals with the Justice League, all their villains on a regular basis along with several others? Would you like that? Or another story base on Lilith excepts she is 13 and she is forced to enter Hogwarts reluctantly on the basis she can check on her children and those she cares for. It will start during the second year and I can imagine her making an entrance already. Tell me in the reviews if you would like both or any one of them.
Now, the cult-like grip Dumbledore has on his followers is rather terrifying isn't it? Don't worry, Charlie is just the first to break free, others will follow soon after, but the Potters well, they are in a massive shit pile that will take them years to crawl out if, not decades.
Regardless, the next chapter will move on to Lilith doing some work of her own and the Order will find out that nobody fucks over Lilith Halestorm and gets away with it. Don't worry we will get more into Drake and Jake's situation later.
Thank you for all the reviews!
JDS62: Already cleared it with you, in the PM, but for the sake of not giving anything away.
Greer123 (Ch. 7): Thank you! That makes me really happy!
Greer123 (Ch. 8): I know, thank you! I hope you like this chapter!
Kreceir (Ch. 8): Yeah...But, it's fitting for them. I hate that they got away with their bullshit in the real series, I would have torn their reputation to pieces at least, but that's just me.
Kreceir (Ch. 7): You will see more of them in action later, don't you worry. I hope you were satisfied with this chapter. She is going to be ripping several people new asses along with making her appearance in the magical world, but that is all I will tell you. You will see how she will deal with them and the rest of the Order and the Weasleys. Also, Lilith will always be proud of her kill count.
Stratos263 (Ch. 7): Is the ocean wet?
Stratos263 (Ch. 8): I know, right?
Pravus666 (Ch. 7): Thank you and I hope you liked this chapter and the fight with Nyx and you will see how her connections through downtown benefit her, but I am not going to tell you anything else in case I accidentally spoil it. Dumbledore and Voldemort may think they know everything about magic, but they know shit, Albus uses light magic, although he trains in dark magic to counter it, while Voldemort has only dabbled in weak Dark Arts causing him to be as vile as he is. He doesn't know all that the dark side of magic has to offer and you will see that. Lilith's abilities will be a surprise, but I will tell you that her runes adapt to whatever she had been hit with, so that is all I will say at the moment.
storybook thumb (Ch. 8): Thank you!
Nomadic Chaos (Ch. 7): Thank you and both Ron and Ginny's lineage will be revealed later and Arthur will slowly figure it out for himself with help, but that will be a story all on its' own. ...Did you have to put that horrible image into my mind, now I can't sleep, thank you, Mr. Chaos, thank you~. Moving on, demons, huh? We shall see, won't we? And I have something planned for Snape, but I will check it out when I get the chance.
UndeadHatter (Ch. 8): I am glad you enjoyed it!
Darklight-Dragon21 (Ch. 8): I'm glad you enjoy Vernon's ashes being used as a replacement for toilet cleaner...I fucking hate abusers and Vernon is the worst of the lot. Sorry, about that...It really is an ugly sight.
Pravus666 (Ch. 8): I am glad you enjoyed it, dude. It makes me really happy! Also, I read your prompt and I say, go fucking nuts! I can't wait to read it.
Sakura Lisel (Ch. 7): Ronald is just as dumb as a brick, don't you worry about it. Just wait until the next chapter and I show you exactly what she thinks of him trying to order him around, not spoiling it, though.
Gokaimaster100 (Ch. 8): Thank you and don't worry about it...
