Victor said, "Then we are on the same page then, Troy."

"Dad…" Everyone looked at the door and saw Heather standing there. "Judith is more than likely compliant with her husband's wishes. There were times where she wished that I were a Pureblood from America and not part British."

Victor said, "I have already told Troy here that Judith was to be evaluated for potions just in case. If she is potion free, she will be charged also. It is a very possibility that she was the one potioning you when Michael was not around."

Heather nodded and allowed her mother to lead her from the room.

Troy picked up his notes and said, "You will hear from me in a few days. I am sorry about this, Victor."

Victor said, "Not more than I. I wish I had caught on to it. The Ruttle family will pay one way or the other."

Troy nodded.

Back in Seattle, Lily had just unpacked her bag, when Deidra came in. She sat down on the bed and watched as Lily put her suitcase away.

Deidra said, "I am sorry that we do not have servants here. Mom do not believe in them."

Lily shrugged her shoulders and replied, "While we do have helpers at the manor, father always wanted us to do things on our own despite the house-elves protests. He wants us to know what its like having to do things on our own in case we find that we end up on our own after graduation without a house-elf or married to someone who does not have one also."

Deidra nodded. She said, "So, here is what I figured. We take the rest of the day off, and then get out tomorrow. I'm sure if needed we can get Andrea to help us get around, but when it comes to Magical Seattle, I can navigate that, and am pretty good at navigating the non-magical world also, but sometimes I do need reminded not to stare at some of the things they have."

Lily said, "That sounds good. I am good at navigating non-magical Britain, but not much on this side of the pond."

Deidra laughed. She said, "You are calling the ocean a pond. That is funny. I forgot you all have the funniest sayings."

Lily smiled, knowing that Deidra was taking the mickey out of her. The rest of the evening they spent just relaxing. Andrea was studying some as she wanted to get into the private sector after her final year and needed top grades. She would not elaborate on what, but they were fine with that.

The next morning after a light breakfast cooked by Mrs. Little, they took the floo to the store. Lily looked around and saw a few things she could get her brothers for their birthdays. She grabbed them, and as she was checking out with Mr. Little, she overheard Deidra arguing with a customer.

"Sir, do not touch the brooms without asking."

"If I can't touch them, how will I know how they feel?"

Deidra sighed. "You ask us to get them down for you, and we let you touch them. We also have a riding area out back where you can try them out before you buy them."

"Whatever little girl. Go play with your dolls."

Lily was about to go over and give the man a piece of her mind, but Mr. Little beat her to it. He excused himself, and walked over to where Deidra and the customer were standing next to one of the top-of-the-line broomsticks that the store carried-The StateTrooper. It was designed for police officers who needed to do arial surveillance.

Mr. Little said, "Sir, I do ask that you be nice to my daughter. She is only enforcing our policies. My daughter knows more about these brooms of which you could dream."

The man huffed and said, "I highly doubt it. I know the owners of this place, and I will not be spoken to like that! I want to speak to your manager!"

Mr. Little raised an eyebrow at that declaration. He spun around and said holding out his hand, "Hi. My name is Stephen Little, I am the manager and owner of this store. Now please leave and do not ever come back!"

The man stormed out. Stephen turned to Deidra who had tears in her eyes. He sighed and walked over to her. He hated that customers did not seem to understand that his children liked working in the store. Stephen said, "I am so sorry, Deidra sweetie. If I had known, it was going to get out of hand that quickly I would not have had you help him. That customer has always been a problem."

Deidra nodded.

Stephen said, "Let's get Lily checked out so you can continue on with your plans for the day."

Lily finished checking out, with her stuff staying at the store to be going home with of the Little family if they go home for some reason before Lily and Deidra return.

Deidra said, "I am just taking it easy on her today, dad. Taking her down to magical district to explore. You know that alone can take a while."

Stephen chuckled. He said, "I do especially for first time visitors like Ms. Potter here."

Outside, Deidra led Lily to the stairs. Lily said, "I thought we had to go to another entrance?"

Deidra replied, "Only the non-magical side must do that. Us magical can go in on either side. I think tomorrow or today if we have time after we get done on the magical side of things, we can do the non-magical aspect so you can see what it looks like."

Lily watched as Deidra walked over to the stairs and pressed something on the wall. The stairs changed to a more concrete set, and you could see people coming in and out of the steps with shopping bags. Lily was dumbfounded. She said, "What was it you pushed?"

Deidra showed her the button on the wall. She said, "In a way it is like your Diagon Alley back in London. But instead of moving bricks, they just use and dispel wards that are in place."

Deidra led the way down into the tunnel. Lily was amazed at the space. In a way it was close, but with a little bit of charm work, it was not a cramped space.

Deidra commented, "they were looking to move the shopping district at some point but could not find a suitable location big enough. So, the shop owners have just used expansion charms in their shops to build more space."

Down in the tunnels, Lily was astounded. They came into the tunnel at one of the food courts. There were four different offshoots off the food court. One at each corner. Each offshoot was attributed to different things. One each for clothing, sports, entertainment, and the last one for the other things like apothecaries, etc.

Lily turned to Deidra and raised and eyebrow. Deidra said, "Okay, they did modify the layout of the tunnels a bit."

They went into the miscellaneous tunnel first. They had decided to replenish their school supplies first, and then would do the rest of their shopping. Lily did not need to replenish that much since they had been going to the village regularly and were able to stock up that way. She did buy more printer paper and more ink for her printer.

As she was heading to check out at one of the apothecaries, she bumped into someone and just as she was about to say sorry, she entered a vision:

"Run! They are coming!"

Everyone scattered at the gathering, disappearing with various family members to the safe location. A man and a woman stayed behind. Lily got a closer look at them. It was Allen and his wife, Victoria. They were a little older than they are now.

Allen turned to Victoria and said, "I love you with all my heart."

Victoria nodded as she pulled out her wand for a fight. She was ready to die to defend her family.

Lily wanted to prevent what was coming for Renee and Emily but knew in her heart that there was nothing she could do.

"Lily!"

Lily was being shaken out of the vision by Deidra. Several customers were looking at her with concern. Lily realized she was lying on the floor. The apothecary owner was pushing his way over, and said, "Are you okay?"

Lily said, "I am fine, sir. Must have just got overwhelmed."

He chuckled and said, "Of course. That tends to happen in these tunnels."

Deidra helped her up after taking her purchases and paying for them with Lily's card. They got out of the apothecary and into the food court. She had Lily sit down at one of the tables while going to get something cold to drink.

When she returned, Lily took a sip of the water and was relieved that it helped. Deidra said, "Are you sure you are, okay?"

Lily said, "Vision."

Deidra was taken aback. Lily had not had one of those in a while. Deidra wanted to go somewhere private so Lily could talk about it, but Lily shook her head. She was not about to let the vision ruin her spring break even though it was a bit unsettling.

They finished their shopping that afternoon at about three o'clock. Heading back out of the tunnels and into Puget Sound Broomsticks. Inside, they waved at Mr. Little and went into the backroom where the fireplace was. Lily said, "Why don't we just take a taxi?"

Deidra said, "Its easier this way. I do not know why we took a taxi that first day."

Back at the Little residence, Lily went to her room and put away her purchases. She got out of her enchanted journal, turning to a page that was empty and began writing about the small vision she had, putting down as many details as she could.

About ten minutes later, Deidra came in and shut the door. She said, "What's going on?"

Lily sat back on the bed. She nodded to the latest entry in her journal. Deidra knew that meant she was allowed to read it. She picked up the journal, read it, and commented, "That is freaky. Let us just hope that it does not come true."

Lily replied, "Right, but here lately, I have noticed other visions I have had, have come true. I hope that this one does not."

Deidra set aside the journal and said, "How about a movie night? We can get Andrea to join us, and we just pig out on snacks and soda with a movie marathon."

Lily laughed. Deidra always knew how to cheer her up. Just as she was about to agree, her cell rang. After seeing it was Julia, Lily nodded in agreement to Deidra that it was a clever idea. Deidra smiled and went to get things set up for the movie marathon.

Lily waited until the door was closed and answered the phone. She said, "Hi Julia. What is going on?"

Lily could tell immediately that something was wrong just by the sound of Julia's voice.

Julia said, "Lily, its Renee. Hell, it is not just Renee. It is also Henry and Heather. They have all been potioned and/or charmed to be what Renee has been like since Thanksgiving."

Lily was dumbstruck that her theory was correct. She said, "Renee?"

Julia said, "Has been shut in her room since yesterday. The house-elves are making sure she is eating, but Lily, I am worried."

Lily said, "I will talk to Deidra's parents tonight and see if there is a way we can visit for a time tomorrow."

Julia said, "Thank you, Lily."

That evening at supper, Lily broached the subject with Deidra and her family.

Stephen said, "I had heard of a dissolution of marriage between Heather and Michael Ruttle. Word is the Ruttle family is not happy."

Lily said, "From what I gathered from Julia, it could have been them doing the potioning to Heather, Henry, and Renee. So, can I visit?"

Stephen said, "Sure. They are your family. Deidra can go also if she wishes."

Deidra nodded her head.

Lily said, "I will contact Cousin Allen then."
