and the Dark Mark
By: Jetteamer
The Dark Lords Mistake
Sure enough a man was bending over blood spilling out of every part of his body. Damon rushed over and bent over to the man, pulled out his wand and started muttering something. James wanting to get out of the area as fast as he could saw a joke shop and headed towards it. Just then a scream came from behind and James spun around and Damon was lying on the ground looking weak. The man was still spilling blood but now a group of the same hooded wizards were there with masks under there cloaks.
Damon got up and looked around wildly. Once he spotted his son he ran towards him. Grabbed him and spun around in a circle. James was then squeezed through a tube and then landed on the solid ground.
James looked up at his house and saw it.
Damon was already staring at it. When he saw it ran toward he home calling James to follow.
It was shining in the sky and James knees were like water. He tried to run but tripped got up and ran and tried to catch up with his father.
When they got to the door Damon opened it with his wand and then dashed in side. James followed and when he got inside they found Jenny lying on the floor and John bending over him. The Dark Mark's light shinning through the door.
"What happened John?" Damon asked.
"He came. Voldemort came here. First Mom and I were eating dinner and everything turned blue and Mom went hazy. A sort of ghost of her left her body and went out the window. Then she to …"
" Did you say everything turned blue?"
"Yes. What does that mean?"
"Genial Refredorm." Damon muttered
"So is mom dead or what?" James said from his observing post above his dad.
Damon turned slowly.
"No. They must have put a memory charm on her. I'm surprised they didn't kill her. Wait."
"What?" James and John said at the same time.
"Um… nothing."
There was silence for a while as some ministry officials piled into the small kitchen.
"We took down the mark. Do you know who it was who put it up there?"
"Voldemort." Damon said plainly.
"He-who-must-not-be-named did this."
"Yes." The wizards around him started murmuring.
"What will we tell the mistry." The murmuring stoped abruptly.
"Tell them nothing this does not make it to the papers."
"As long as Rita Skeeter keeps here nose out of it well be fine." Said a wizard in the back of the room.
Murmuring started again.
She opened here eyes. She blinked. She looked at Damon then John then James.
"This can't be heaven." The murmuring stopped.
"O Jenny I'm so glad you're all right."
" Why wouldn't I be I was only making supper then fell. When did you get back did James get all of his suplise."
"Jenny no… there was… I mean…" Damon was lost for words.
Jenny started making snacks for all the wizards in the room. She couldn't remember the last time she had this many people in the kitchen.
"Bye"
As everyone left it seemed like it never happened.
The next day all the family went and got there supplies from Diagon Alley. James and his dad walked into the robe store and found Severous Snape there trying on black robes.
"I will be with you in a moment." Said a younge witch that seemed quite flustered."
"Hey Potter would you mind stepping out of the shop for a bit?"
"Why?" James said eyeing snape questioningly.
"Because I can smell you all the way over here."
Just then something started spurting out of Snapes nose.
"Clean your nose out boy it must be broken because your not suppose to smell yourself. Come James lets look." Damon said and started walking around the shop looking at different robes. James saw him slip his wand back into his pocket. James Grinned.
"I love my dad."
"Suck up."
"Lets go James we can go shop for books first with Jenny."
They left just as Snape was refusing to roll up his left sleve.
They walked swiftly to the book store were they bought the few books on the list. They also found Jenny there helping John pick out the one that looked the best. From there they went back to buy black robes. There arms were quite full leaving the stores and once James had bought an owl they had left with a crack Damon helping James. Jenny helping John.
