Previously…

There was some awkward silence then James said, "This Vlasta lady seems a lot like Voldemort."

Ella and Chloe looked at each other unsurely then Ella said, "that's because she's his daughter."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

James fainted. He knew what it was like back when his dad was a kid, his parents showed him and Albus in the pensive. To think others had to go through that, no, still are going through it, makes him want to vomit.

"James," said the voice of a girl, worry clearly in her voice, he could recognize that voice anywhere, it was Ella.

Wait, did she just call me James? Wait, why was she worried? James thought to himself.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't, he felt drained. He could still hear their conversations though, so it's true, James thought to himself, people really can hear people when unconscious.

"We need to get him to the hospital wing," said Ella, who was still, evidently worried.

"Why? are you worried Ella? I thought you hated him," said a boy James recognized asFred.

"I do hate him," said Ella unsurely.

"Are you sure about that?" asked another boy James recognized at Louis.

"Yeah," said Ella, still unsurely, as Ella removed her hand from his.

He noticed an absence of warmth on his hand. Was Ella holding his hand? He didn't even know she was, it just felt, right.

James then felt the world black out around him.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Halloween took a nasty turn that night. Chloe and Ella's secret was revealed and James was unconscious in a hospital bed.

Harry and Ginny just arrived at the hospital wing to check on James. Lily came too, but she was too exited to see Hogwarts to care about James being unconscious.

"Where is he?" said Ginny urgently while running into the hospital wing.

Madam Pomfrey pointed over to the bed at the end of the room and Ginny rushed over to her sons side.

"What happened to him?" asked Harry worryingly.

"I'm not really sure how it happened, but Victoire, Fred, Louis, Chloe, Ella, and Olivia all brought him here. Ella was quite hysterical though.

"You didn't ask what happened?" asked Ginny.

"I tried, but they all just rushed out after placing him on the bed, probably trying to avoid questions," said Madame Pomfrey.

"Who's this Ella, she one of James' groupies?" asked Harry with a laugh.

"No, no, James is one of her groupies if anything. She hates him, which surprised me when she came back in here tonight and was worried. They remind me of your parents, Harry, he always asks her out, she always says no, then they break into a scream fest," said Madame Pomfrey with a laugh.

"Really? Wow, how long has this been going on?" asked Ginny while stroking her sons head.

"Probably since the first day of their first year, but what surprised me is that you don't know about her, he talks about her all the time," said Madame Pomfrey.

"That long and we haven't heard about it! He must be embarrassed about being rejected or something," said Harry while staring at his son.

"So you know nothing about this?" asked Ginny.

Madame Pomfrey shook her head while Harry got up to leave.

"We're you going Harry," asked Ginny.

Harry paused at the door and said, "To get Minerva to get those kids for me, so I can find out what happened to James."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"I will ask you all again, what happened to James," said McGonagall.

The six children looked at each other and then Fred spoke up and said,"he fainted."

"Why? What was he doing?" asked McGonagall.

"We were just talking and then he fainted," said Victoire shyly.

"Why would James faint because of conversation? What were you lot talking about?" asked Harry.

"We can't say," said Chloe quickly.

"Why?" asked Harry and McGonagall at the same time.

"Trust me, don't ask, it's not my secret to tell, and they don't want to talk about it," said Olivia.

"Who's secret?" asked Harry.

No one said anything, so Harry asked again and then Victoire said, "this doesn't have to do with James so why're we even discussing this."

"Yeah, you know what happened now, so, bye," said Fred as the six people ran out of McGonagall's office.

"What are they hiding?" asked Harry.

McGonagall had an idea of what happened. That they found out about Vlasta, but she agreed with them it's not their secret to tell, so she lied to Harry, "I have no idea."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Has James woken up yet?" asked Fred.

"No, I don't even know why he's still unconscious, he just fainted in surprise, there's nothing medically wrong with him," said Louis.

Fred smiled and said, "Hey, it's like Padme in Star Wars when-"

"Don't even get started on that, he's not going to die of a broken heart," sighed Louis.

"No, I meant because there is nothing medically wrong with him," Fred argued.

"Whatever, I'm not a big Star Wars fan, nor am I a movie fan," Louis told his friend.

"Whatever, Louis, but anyway, I miss him, it's been almost a day now," said Fred as he threw himself on his bed.

"Why don't we go visit him?" asked Louis.

Fred nodded and said,"Yeah, maybe some of our corny jokes will wake him up."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"James wake up already you big dummy," said Ella as she slapped his arm.

Ella felt horrible about James, she felt it was all her fault. Only if she wasn't so stupid and the letter actually got in the fire. Oh how she wished that happened.

"I don't actually hate you," Ella told James, as Fred and Louis made their way into the room.

The two boys paused in the door way when they heard what Ella said, and to even see Ella sitting there with James willingly. To their luck, Ella didn't notice their presence and kept talking.

"I don't like you, but I don't hate you," Ella said.

"You just really get on my nerves because you're so annoying and arrogant, maybe if you stopped that we could be friends," Ella said.

Fred and Louis couldn't believe their ears, but still stood in the door way silently.

"Can you just wake up you big dummy, so I can stop feeling guilty," said Ella as she slapped him violently again.

She then got up and exited the hospital wing quickly, not even noticing Fred and Louis standing there.

Fred and Louis then walked over to James' bed and sat down on the edge. They both jumped up when they saw James awake with wide eyes.

"Did you hear what she said too?" asked James in a dreamy voice.

They both nodded, then James mumbled, "I must be dreaming," before pinching himself.

"Potter, you're finally awake, that's good, I'll owl your parents, they're very worried," said Madame Pomfrey, while she walked over to James' bed.

"You can probably leave right now because nothing was ever wrong with you, so off you go," said Madame Pomfrey as she shooed him off.

James smiled and said, "let's go mates, we've got some pranks to do."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Rachel!" screamed Jack Smith to his wife.

Rachel ran down the many stairs in their large house to find her husband down on the floor stunned. She rushed over to his side to find someone casting spells at the door.

She tried to apparate, but Vlasta must have put an anti-apparition ward up. They outsmarted Vlasta this time though, they had portkeys at the ready.

She grabbed the locket around her neck while she hugged her husband with the other arm and arrived in their vacation house down in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Rachel waited for her husband to wake up and when he did he jumped at her.

"That was close," said Jack to his wife.

"It was," said Rachel as she separated from her husbands warm embrace.

"We got a letter from the girls before we left," Rachel added as she handed a letter to Jack.

"What does it say," asked Jack nervously.

"I don't know, it arrived right before Vlasta did," said Rachel.

They then opened the letter and read it...

Dear Mom and Dad,

Chloe and I hope you're safe, we know how Vlasta is, be careful. Chloe's friend Victoire Weasley said we can stay with her this Christmas if that's alright with you guys of course. A few people know about Vlasta at school. We didn't tell them, they just found the letter. It was all James Potter's fault though, only if he wasn't a nosey jerk. Anyway, it's not bad, I think we can trust them, their parents have been through war too, so they know how it is. Anyway stay safe and we hope to see you soon.

Love

Ella

"Shit," cursed Jack.

"What is it, Jack?" asked Rachel.

"Do you realize what this could mean?" asked Jack angrily.

Rachel shook her head and Jack said,"Vlasta doesn't want anyone who doesn't already know about her to find out about her, she will kill Ella and Chloe if she knew," said Jack.

"Jack, she said they are trustworthy," said Rachel.

"James Potter, the son of Harry Potter, or should I say the son of the guy who killed Vlasta's father knows about her, if James let something slip all the British aurors would be all over here causing a bigger mess than it already is," said Jack miserably.

"Oh no, that boy better keep his mouth shut," said Rachel who was now just as worried as Jack.

"Did you here that?" asked Jack, and Rachel nodded in response.

"They're here they traced the portkey," said Rachel.

"Come on let's take my portkey, then take a bus a few miles away, then use the back up portkey so they can't trace us," said Jack before grabbing his wife, then they portkeyed away.

Then the door blew open in flames and in came a beautiful, yet evil women.

"Again! They escaped again!" hissed Vlasta.

Vlasta then exited the house then blew it up in flames and said, "This will be the last time they defy me, everyone who defies me will be dead."
