Chapter 6

Lily and James POV

"I don't know about this James… I mean, Harry seems ok by himself, why not give him the money and be done with it?" Lily said hesitantly. She hated seeing the look in her eldest son's eyes but it had to be done.

James rounded on her.

"Don't you dare question me mudblood! The only reason I married you was to up my status. Imperio!" Lily felt her husband take over and force her. She didn't have enough energy to fight whilst he beat her; similar to what he had done to Harry thirteen years ago.

At Heartland.

Amy, just like every other day was doing her normal chores of cleaning out the stables. She wiped the sweat from her brow as the unnaturally hot sun beated down through a small hole in the roof, which Ty was going to mend later. The horses were outside, enjoying the sunshine in the fields. Heartland was doing extremely well for itself at the moment, but Amy felt life was just passing her by a bit. She had decided against college, due to the fact she felt Heartland was the only real home she had. Thankfully, Amy had finally finished the very last stall. Deciding to put some sun lotion on to protect her she went back to the house, no one was in as Lou and Scott had gone to but some things for the new baby, Grandpa (Jack) had gone to get some food with Nancy (his girlfriend) and to the best of Amy's knowledge, Ty and Joni had gone home. She heard Joni giggle, or not, she thought. She slowly made her way up stairs to hear the giggling and whispering coming from her own room. She slowly opened the door to find Ty and Joni half naked and kissing on her bed.

"OH MY GOD!" She screamed without realising it.

Harry's POV

Harry and Draco were in Hogsmeade whilst these two things were happening, Draco having no idea what was going on. Harry walked into the Three Broomsticks.

"Hello Rosie!" He greeted his honorary godmother, as him and Remus had stayed for a while when he was young. She beamed at him and gestured to a private room and continued taking orders from the customer in front, Harry gave her thumbs up and led Draco into Rosie's best private room.

"Harry, what are we doing here?" Draco said, settling down in a comfy sofa. Harry smiled.

"Meeting my lawyer, good thing I scheduled this meeting, don't you think?" Draco smirked at the obvious Slytherin action.

"What the hell was that note you sent to Dumbles, and how the heck did you get a phoenix?" Harry raised his eyebrows, and took a sip of the butterbear in front of him.

"The note I sent to Dumbles said politely said I was meeting an old friend of mine and that my guardians had sent a letter authorising permission to be let out of the castle whenever I desire. As for Elisa, my phoenix, I saved her, a werewolf was about to eat her when I sent a tickling charm at it and took the phoenix home to heal it, she has come whenever I call her ever since." Draco nodded slowly, processing this new information.

"Why did you ask me to come?" Draco's final query.

"Because you are male. Having bloody females around tends to give one a headache and no one to talk to about guy stuff." Draco chuckled.

"It is the same with morons." He jokingly told Harry, Harry joined in the laughter.

This was the sight Lewis Alios found the boys in; he was pleased to see Harry happy. Lewis was an old friend of Sirius's and when Sirius approached him for legal advice they became reacquainted and became part of the ever-growing pack. He smiled fondly as he cleared his throat. The two boys calmed down and Lewis hugged Harry and sat down. Harry began saying his confrontation with the Potter's went well, and told him what the Potter's were up to and Lewis smirked.

"Well it is a bloody good thing me, Remy and Siri applied for you emancipation three months ago. We figured Lily and James would try this, we intended to tell you for Christmas but I figure you need to know. Also, it was approved last week, the Potter's stand no chance, and I'll owl you the papers sometime this week, k kiddo?" Harry and Draco gaped at him. Lewis got up, kissed Harry's head and said goodbye, winking as he left with the parting comment

"You guys wanna attract insects?" He left laughing.

Heartland

Amy ran out of the room, hearing Ty and Joni yelling for her to wait, to let them explain they never wanted to hurt her. She ran to the car Lou had bought her when she passed her driving test and drove to a small café. She bought herself a coffee with the little money she had on her. She heard familiar voices; Soraya and Matt were behind her. Not wanting to explain why she was in the dingy little shop she ducked down and listened to their voices.

"God Soraya, why shouldn't we go to Ashley's Christmas party? Just because you promised Amy you would spend the evening with her? Jesus, when has Amy ever put aside time for anyone but those bloody horses?" She heard Matt's accusing words that struck the recent wound hard.

"Well Matt, I pity her. We all know that is the only reason is Ty is with her. She doesn't have anyone but us." The wound got another hit as she walked out the café with more tears in her eyes, Soraya and Matt, realising what they'd done and unknowingly repeated Ty and Joni, yelling at her to wait, and Amy just drove away.

Lily and James (if squeamish, DO NOT READ)

James walked out, content with the bruises on his wife, who lay naked and tied to the bed, it was a grotesque sight. She tasted her own salt tears mixed with blood where she bit her lip and tongue. Red strips healed and raw were scattered on her body, the nipple of her right breast no longer existed due to James bit it off. This sort of torture had gone on ever since James had cast the first imperious curse back in their seventh year. Restlessly she fell asleep.

(End of squeamish bit)

Harry

As Harry walked through the doors he was hit with the internal smell of pain. Ever since his own beating he knew when it happened to another. He ordered Draco to go to his bed and ran towards the pain that was heading quickly for death. Hogwarts opened the door and he saw the mattered body of his mother he cast every healing spell he knew which stopped the bleeding. He fire called Madame Pomfrey, telling her it was an emergency. She came as Harry untied his mother. Pomfrey could see tears running down the boy's face. She could see why, Lily's body was a terrible sight.

She cast a diagnosis and found out the cause, she knew it couldn't have been Harry he was out in Hogsmead; Dumbledore had been raging about it and managed to exhaust himself.

That only left James.

She also saw Harry had cast several healing spells. All contributed in saving Lily's life, one more minute and she would have died. She also found signs of the imperious curse. She told Harry, as her next of kin this. He nodded slowly and couldn't help but blame himself. He had seen the signs but was too blinded by hatred to see it. He, as a child, had noticed his mother had loved him one night and despised him the next, overnight. He made a snap decision and, with Madame Pomfrey's permission and vow to fire call her when Lily awoke, took her to a room that appeared in his quarters. He kissed her head gently and went to dinner. He, now in a rage, practically flew at his father, throwing him to each of the walls and dropped him. Several people yelled at him but Harry couldn't hear them, all he could hear was what he imagined his mother's screams, his own screams, were like and the thudding of his heart…

Thud

Thud

Thud

Thud

Harry slowly calmed and let James down. In a whisper worse then anything he said

"I thought you could sink no lower Potter, but yet again you have proved me wrong, beating your wife until she is almost dead is inexcusable, casting an Unforgivable is even more so." Dumbledore, idiotically, spoke.

"Now Harry you must be imagining things, Lilly is in her room resting-" Harry snapped

"I'LL SHOW YOU RESTING YOU CONIVING OLD FOOL! TOBACHIA COSIANI!" The spell entrapped the teachers, 5th, 6th and 7th years. The teachers recognised it as each and every single person watched and felt the pain Lily had just gone through. No one would remain the same.

Heartland

Amy felt her heart crack as she stopped at Heartland. Ty and Joni's cars were gone. Amy went up to her mother's room and cried. Her world was falling apart. She heard a car pull up and heard Lou's voice, not wanting to face her sister she went to the back of the wardrobe and id there silently. She felt something at the back of this wardrobe, she turned on a torch that was also in their and found a piece of paper stuck to the wardrobe right in the corner and, slowly, reading every word, her heart completely broke.

Darling Amy,

I honestly don't know how to write this, but if you are reading it then I am dead. I am so sorry honey but I suppose I should just come out and write it. Tim Fleming is not your father.

I will explain, your father was part of a cult called 'Death Eaters' he followed a hypocritical madman, however he was not there by choice, only because he was pressured into it.

His name is Severus Snape.
