Thanks very, very much for reviewing!

Chapter 4 – My Heart is the Worst Kind of Weapon

"Tom. What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked, slightly irritated that his aunt's supposed past boyfriend had manage to sneak in undetected. "I don't recall the Mistress extending her hand of invitation in your direction. In fact, I don't remember her talking to you at all. Hell, she hasn't even mention you in the last six years." He let go of Harry's small hand and stepped forward, as if to protect his girlfriend and cousin.

"Ah- yes, but of course. Lilithia didn't invite Tom, but you DO know who always visits on Thursdays, hmm? Just to check up on his trouble-making son? You wouldn't hurt your poor ol' dad, would ya?" 'Tom's face morphed into Harrison's, bright green-blue eyes appearing in the place of the evil red ones and his build getting slightly shorter.

Jimmy's eye twitched slightly as he gave his father an odd look. "I thought I was done training, damnit. This is hardly fair. Why do yo-" he was cut off when his father, in turn, gave him the same odd look. "Fine. Keep sharp, don't sleep, blah blah blah, I know."

At this point of time, Leah and Harry were giggling quietly behind their hands, Jimmy's teenage rebellion at loss. Or, then again...

"Mum is gonna hear about you not actually being at the council meeting."

Ah, yes. The victory. Harrison's eyes widened as he imagined the prospect of being denied and left to sleep on the kitchen table. Jimmy smirked and crossed his arms, reeling happily over the power he on his father, causing the two people behind him to chuckle even harder. They abruptly calmed down however when someone cleared their throat.

"I assume you are laughing at Harrison's idiocy and not my office décor?" an amused Lilithia asked, standing tall and elegant from the door way. Her hair had been put up in a regal knot, but her clothes begged to differ. She wore a black skirt and a black striped tee, the usual smirk on her face turned into a full blown, lop-sided smile. Lilithia raised her hand to ruffle Jimmy's hair, but was soon swatted off with a 'Not the hair!' "Well, I see someone is in a pissy mood. Do you need a time out, Jimmy? Or maybe a lollie?"

"Gah, no Aunt 'Thia.I pwomise to be a good boy and nawt gwab onto any ot'er welatibs legs and beg fowr an answair." Jimmy replied, imitating his toddler voice almost perfectly. He pouted and sucked his thumb.

"Mature, Jimmy. Real mature."

"Aw, but ya love me for it!"

"Right... Anyways, we must get on with business. I assume this little man is Harry, correct? Nice to meet you." Lithia put her hand out forward to Harry as she bent down to meet him eye to eye.

Harry hesitantly took her hand and shook it, not quite looking her in the eye. 'This is the lady in the picture! She's so much prettier in real life...' he thought, spacing out from reality. 'She looks so familiar...'

Suddenly, Harry let go of her hand and fell to the floor. He curled into a ball, gripping his head, and agonized look on his face.

"-OT HARRY! NO! Pl-"

"-VADA KEDAVR-"


"-our next, mudblood. Pity though... such a pretty fac-"

"-ames... Oh god, no, please, n-"


"-ily, take Harry and run! I'll take ca-"

"-hat if there's no tomor-"

"-Lils, I gotta go now, see you guys tomo-"

"-ave to go into hidin-"

"Suggest you should find a safe pla-"

"Not, Harry. Please. It can't be tr-"

"The one born as the seventh month dies.."

Harry screamed in pain, still clutching his head as it ended.

Lilithia was immediately kneeling on the floor next to Harry, whispering soothing words in his ear, stroking his hair. 'Oh god, he's just like Lily...'
