"Lily, have you almost finished making dinner" Kat whined. She had been staying with Lily and Harry in the apartment, as she didn't have a job and Lily did so she needed someone to watch Harry.

"I would be finished quicker if you'd stop asking Kat," Lily replied with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Oh right, I'll be quiet then," Kat replied sulkily.

"That's what I thought you'd say," Lily responded the amusement clearly lacing her voice.

That's when a midnight black owl flew through the window and landed on Lily's shoulder. She opened the letter.

Lily,

Can I come and stay with you please, Death Eaters attacked Frank's house and they tortured him and Alice into insanity, and they killed mum. I've got Neville with me, please I have nowhere else to go, and the house has been completely destroyed. I'll be coming as soon as I get a response, if you allow it. I know it might be cramped at your apartment with us two and Neville, but there is nowhere else to go,

Sincerely Annette Longbottom

Lily's hand flew to her mouth and stared at the letter in shock, death eaters had attacked, they were supposed to have gone when Voldemort was killed, why were they suddenly active. Kat stared at Lily for a second before rushing over to her.

"Lily what's wrong?" she questioned anxiously. In response Lily just handed her the letter.

"Oh merlin, no way, no way" Kat kept repeating, trying to convince herself it hadn't happened, Anne's brother, mother and sister in law, dead or in Frank and Alice's case worse.

Lily finally snapped out of her trance, and quickly wrote a reply.

Annie,

Of course you can stay with me. Don't go to the apartment, I have Harry with me I finally got him from the Dursley's and Kat hates the McGonagall manner so she's with me as well and if you guys are coming as well we'll just go to Prewitt Place. We'll leave as soon as I send this, wait 5 minutes before you floo, you just need to say 'Prewit Place' and it will automatically let you and Neville in.

Lily

Lily quickly attached the letter to the owl's foot and it was off.

"Come on guys, leave everything here, we need to apparate to the mansion quickly, Lily picked up Harry and put him on her hip, and apparated out, Kat half a second behind them.

The trio arrived, Lily rushed Harry to the toilet where he heaved out his last night's dinner. Harry seemed to have trouble with apparating, it may have just been because he was so little, and Lily wasn't worried.

Kat saw the fire turn green and out stepped Anne Longbottom with a tear streaked face. Curled up in her arms was little four year old Neville, who was asleep. Kat immediately ran to Ann and took Neville out of her arms and placed him on the couch.

Anne launched herself onto Kat and began sobbing hysterically; Lily walked into the room silently, and picked up Neville from the couch and took him to her old room where Harry was sleeping. She placed him on the bed with Harry and walked out and towards the living room.

She slipped in unnoticed and wrapped her arms around the other to girls. Anne had apparently told Kat exactly what happened, but for the moment Lily didn't care what happened, she just knew she just needed to be there for her best friends.

Neville Longbottom woke up nearly 18 hours later to find himself in a strange room, the last thing he can remember is seeing people in black cloaks come into his home, then it's all blackness, so he does the only thing a normal 4 year old would do, he cries.

Lily was the only other one awake in the household apart from Harry, rushed into the bedroom she had put him in. As she walked in she saw Neville curled up in a ball on the bed, she scooped him up and cradled him to her chest.

"Ssh…it's ok Neville, don't cry sweetheart, do you remember me, my names Lily, I'm a friend of your auntie Anne's."

"yeah…I fink I 'member you, you had anudder friend cawled Kitty or sumptin." Neville said softly as he nodded.

"Yeah, that's right, do you want me to take you to your auntie Anne's she's in a bedroom just down the hall. Neville nodded his head again.

Lily placed Neville on the ground and placed his small hand in hers and together they walked into Anne's bedroom.

A couple of hours later Kat, Lily, Ann, Harry and Neville were preparing to go out. As it was Saturday Lily and Anne did not have to work, so they were free to do whatever they wanted.

They were planning to head to Gringotts then Madam Milkins, because Harry needed heaps of new robes, for formal occasions, semi formal, and just about any other occasion. Ann also needed new formal black robes for the funeral of her mother.

They went in and out of Gringotts and the robe shop as quickly as possible. The last thing they needed was for someone who was friends of Dumbledore to see them and tell him that Lily Prewitt had taken Harry Potter from the Dursley's.

That night once the two little children had been put to bed Lily, Kat and Anne were sitting under a blanket, on the couch drinking hot chocolate.

"How are you planning on getting back at the Dursley's?" Anne asked curiously.

"W…wh…what are you talking about?" Lily stuttered nervously.

"Come on Lils we know you better than that, we know you wouldn't let what happened to Harry at the Dursley's go on without punishment, give us more credit than that." Kat added to the conversation softly.

"Ok…well I figure rather than anything else I just place a few harmless spells on them because that way they'll be around magic which they really hate." Lily responded, smiling evilly.

Ok here's the newest chapter, I'd like to thank Stupid is as Lana does, Gryffin Love and Emi Notrek for constantly reviewing… (:

Oh, a beta is someone who reads a story before the author posts it, and corrects the grammar and spelling and stuff.

So I hope someone's interested in being my beta.

Also any idea's of what Lily should do to the Dursley's message me coz I have no idea….

Later,
