PART 4 OF GLITTER & EXPLOSIONS
Teddy had thankfully changed into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
"Let's get this started then," said James.
"Finally," sneered Scorpius, seeing Teddy in a dress had been an awkward experience, especially because he looked so good in it…
No- think, think of Rose in a bra- Scorpius' brain scrambled for a distraction, Wait! No- Al is still glaring at you, damn-
"Right," said James slowly, Scorpius had started mumbling to himself oddly.
"Why didn't you just tell your mother when she came in?" said Molly sitting up straighter in her chair and pushing her glasses higher up her nose. "She could have helped, you know."
"Are you bloody crazy? Or have you not been listening?" James scowled at her, "I can't. She'll rip me to pieces… If dad doesn't get me first-"
Everyone in the room shuddered. Uncle Harry didn't get mad often but when he did… He could make you wish you'd just jumped off a cliff and save yourself the torture.
"He's a bit of a sadist actually," observed Rose from her corner on the opposite side of the room from Scorpius. Albus had insisted. "I mean, it's more obvious with Aunt Ginny because she'll do this little cackle while she's doing it, but they both seem to enjoy dragging out their torture-"
"Rose!" Teddy finally yelled, breaking all the Potter-Weasley children out of their fearful reveries, "Just- just, let it go will you?" He shuddered.
Scorpius shook his head slowly, "My father was right, you people really are mad."
"Oi," protested the Weasleys. James shrugged, it was technically true…
"THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS MEETING," Victoire screamed finally, "WE ARE HERE TO SAVE LILY, SO-SHUT-UP!"
Everyone turned to stare at her, her face had turned a dangerous reddish purple colour and she was shaking slightly.
Fred and James mimed zipping their lips and throwing her the keys.
Victoire looked around at them fiercely and seemingly satisfied, sat back in her chair, "Good," and nodded to James to continue the meeting he had called to order in the first place.
"Er," said James glancing at Victoire nervously, "Right, so since we all have to go find Lily-"
"Why?" groaned Albus slightly, "I mean, we could just leave her there."
James nodded solemnly, "I would. And I'm pretty sure mom wouldn't mind! But, I think dad actually likes Lily."
Teddy shook his head slightly, "Your poor sister."
"What?" said Al incredulously, "Have you heard her scream? Have you seen her bloody room? It's. Not. Human."
"I WILL KILL YOU. LET GO OF MY HAIR, DO YOU KNOW HOW FRIGGIN' LONG IT TOOK TO GET MY HAIR THIS TAME?" Lily shrieked loudly, kicking Bellatrix in the shin and knocking her wand out of her hand. Her voice was so shrill, Bellatrix was distinctly sure she had heard the window glass break. How dare she!
"STOP SCREAMING AT ME, STUPID BLOODY MUGGLE!" Bellatrix shrieked back at her, scrabbling for her wand.
"Oh- No- You- Don't!" Lily kicked the wand out of Bellatrix's reach and they fell over onto the floor.
Brandishing long, manicured nails Lily scraped them down Bellatrix's face. Catfight thought Lily satisfied, now this is something I can handle.
Bellatrix screamed and batted at Lily feebly, "No- no get off! I can't-"
Lily pushed the dazed woman down and winked at the unicorn that was still standing in the middle of the room triumphantly, and dived for the Death Eater's wand. Bellatrix yelled some rather nasty words that Lily was just going to pretend she never heard, thank you.
"Er, what's that stunning spell again?
"Stupefy?" Bellatrix suggested.
"Right, stupefy!" a flash of bright red light and Bellatrix fell over.
Lily walked up to her slowly then conjured up some ropes to tie the psycho.
"No one touches my hair, lady. No one."
"And she's bloody mental about her hair," continued Al.
"Stop ranting and start brainstorming!" Victoire pointed her wand threateningly at her cousin.
"Alright!" said Rose finally, "I have a plan, but it's important that you listen."
She turned to glare at James who was insistently looking anywhere but at her.
"And do EVERYTHING I say. Here goes-"
