Lillian cried for a few hours after that, and Harry never left her side. Penna and William were perched on their pedestals sadly watching the couple's tears fall down their cheeks. Lillian eventually fell asleep in Harry's arms and he carried his lover up into the bedroom they both shared, tucking her fragile figure deep into the bed sheets. He caressed her cheek, Serenity watched everything from the door way.

'Dad?'

Harry jumped when he heard her voice, he was still not used to having Serenity around; her green eyes looked directly at him. He may not have known his wife's family but he would fight to know his future one.

'I took the liberty of changing into mum for dinner' Harry nodded, 'Thank you' Serenity left her parents alone, could she and Scorpios ever be that happy? She knew he was older than her and kept telling her she was too young, but she would fight for him, because even though he tried to hide her she could always read his emotions like everyone else she ever laid her eyes on. But of course that could wait for another time; there were more serious problems in this time.

The next day all the main members of the Order of the Phoenix met at Headquarters, Lillian, Sirius, Serenity and the others described in detail exactly what they discovered with the interrogations. Together they decided not to immediately confront Voldermort at his fortress; instead they would wait until they got more information.

For the next few days everything was relatively calm in the wizarding world, Lillian and the main members of the Order as well as the Minister of Magic visited the families of those who had died in the battle at Hogwarts fighting against Voldermort. Lillian insisted that the Daily Prophet ran a story with all their names so that the country would know exactly who was fighting to keep them alive and protect them on a daily basis.

One day right after class was over Harry, Hermione and Ron were doing homework until their usual tree when they were suddenly overturned by strong winds and found themselves drenched in water. They looked at the lake and saw Serenity and Lillian fighting over the surface of the lake, some merpeople were seating on a large nearby rock watching them. Lillian's skill was perfect, Serenity's was very close but the Merlin matriarch was clearly winning. Harry was in wonder as their bodies moved without falling into the water, he glanced over at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the centaurs were watching too.

'Why are they fighting?' Ron asked looking over at Harry.

'I don't know, Lillian said she wanted to go out to relieve her stress but I would never thing she meant to relax by fighting our daughter!' Harry watched as their fighting became inhumanly possible. Lillian was bending the water in a huge wave while Serenity evaporated it with a massive avalanche of fire. A crowd was starting to gather, students and teachers alike.

They moved onto land, and Serenity did something that nearly made Harry's hair turn white with shock. Out of her finger tips lightning made its way towards Lillian, Lillian jumped inhumanly high into the air, the lighting hit the castle wall and made it collapse. Serenity smirked, she mentally apologised to the castle, promising to repair her later. Lillian wasn't even tired, and hadn't even used half her powers; she wondered if Serenity knew who exactly she was fighting.

Flashback

Lillian was seating by the Forbidden Forest, animals surrounding her including a Unicorn. She noticed a pile of soil rise up and take human shape, it turned into her daughter. Umm daughter, she still couldn't believe it, she wondered if this wasn't some kind of trick played by the gods to make her life even worse. Giving something for her to believe in and then taking it from her grasp. If it wasn't for Harry she wouldn't know what she would do, he was her world and her air.

'You are sure hard to find mum'

'You have to get used to calling me cousin, if anyone hears you your cover will be blown and my relationship with Harry will be exposed'

'Don't worry if they find out I will turn time back a bit' Lillian smiled and hugged her knees.

'You know what will happen don't you?'

Serenity waited a bit before answering 'Yes'

'My Seer abilities are not working again, if you are a bit like me I know you wont tell me'

'True'

'However knowing you are here calms me, I know I have a chance at happiness'

'Mum I've seen our family's death, I was born knowing, I have cried and moved forwards'

'I know, I too have cried but that visit to Azkaban brought back painful memories'

'I'm not really good at this sort of thing… you always say that I got dad's straight-forward gene'

Lillian smiled.

'I know lets battle, we do it all the time in the future, it helps to train our abilities and you use it to relieve your stress.'

'Have you ever managed to beat me?'

'How do you know it was not you that never managed to beat me? But ummm… no you were too quick and powerful'

Serenity smiled gently 'Let's go then Serenity Potter'

End Flashback

The ground shook under them, as piles and heaps of soil lifted up and formed a rough gigantic human shape, it tried to crush Serenity but she burned it into fine sand and ordered the wind to scatter it. She sent a thick jet of fire towards her mother, but Lillian was already protected by a sphere of hard rock. When the jet subdued she let the dirt fall but by now in her place stood a mighty Silver-Eyed Lion. Harry stood up straighter, he knew he was about to see some major Animagus combat from which he would certainly learn a lot from. The lion sent a roar that made the trees shake and the ground vibrate; it sent shivers up everyone's spines. It launched forward and tried to strike Serenity but she was already high in the air flying as a golden eagle. Lillian ran at lightning speed to the tallest tree around and climbed vertically up, she was hidden by the leaves for a short while before they saw her jump up from the very top of the tree and tackled Serenity mid flight. Serenity and Lillian were falling as the lion had the eagle's wings pinned.

Harry saw his parents run up to them, 'What the hell is going on, we heard explosions'

'Serenity is fighting Lillian'

'What? Are they insane, does Serenity want to get killed?'

'At least one thing is for certain, they can't die' Harry said letting out a sigh of relief.

The lion and eagle finally made contact with the ground, at the last minute Lillian had turned around and protected the eagle in her arms from the ground, taking the force of the impact on her back. They shifted back into their human forms; Serenity was stretched out on the floor, her arms and legs in the form of a starfish. Lillian got up, her shoulder was dislocated but she popped it back in. Blood trickled down her back.

'Do you wield Serenity Elizabeth?'

Serenity was too disoriented to answer. Lillian turned her around with her foot and summoned one of her katanas (samurai style sword) and touched Serenity's neck with the tip.

'You beat me again mother' she spoke the last word very quietly, so that no one from the bystanders would hear them. Lillian smiled and helped her daughter get up, she saw Harry make his way over to them, he was running.

'What were you two thinking? Do you want to give me a heart attack?' Harry said, accompanied by Ron, Hermione and somehow Luna Lovegood.

'We're just practising our abilities'

'It looked more like you were trying to kill each other'

'Don't worry Harry we meant no harm, actually that was much less challenging than some practises I've had'

'How can relatives fight each other with such powerful abilities?'

'I've told that was nothing compared to some trainings I've had. Don't worry Harry, but I do have to say something. What were you thinking Lillian, tackling me like that in the air?'

'You wanted a fight I gave it to you cousin!'

'Can someone teach me that?' Ron asked quietly, but it still broke the post fight tension.

The others laughed and went inside, however the students remained talking amongst themselves.
