Chapter 1
Lily had picked up Holly and took her upstairs to get away from James. all she wanted to do was scream. why did she marry him? he was an irresponsible idiot. a lier. and worst of all a no good cheat.
she wanted to cry and take her baby away. find a home for them away from James and his lies. she was close to killing him and saying it was death eaters. it wouldn't be too much of a stretch with who they made for their secret keeper. why did they choose Peter! that alone was asking for trouble.
James was downstairs feeling exhausted. Lily had found out about Kara but not his son. he regretted marrying lily. he fell out of love a while ago before he met Kara. he was drowning in his own sorrows when the door flew open. he was hit with a big chunk of wood and passed out.
Voldemort fired the killing curse not seeing that the curse hit near James potter's bloody head. he was in too much of a rush to kill the one an half year old infant. when he made his way up the stairs he heard lily Potter, sobbing. asking why. why? you're in my way of taking over the wizarding world! that's why!
he busts open the door. she seemed genuinely surprised to see him there. she was pleading for her child's life and was hit with the killing curse. as she fell to the ground the child seemed to look confused. he cast the Avada kedavra at the infant when it rebounds on to him.
Merope snapped open her eyes when the wave of power shot through her. she felt a power pull her towers a bright light. when she was pulled through the vail she heard a baby whiling. she was met with bright green eyes, black wild Tufts of hair, and cute little freckles. Merope could feel her son's magical signature mixed with another. was this her grandchild?... was she a grandma! she was filled with excitement when she felt something off. why was the baby crying, where was her son? Is it's mother? is the baby's head bleeding! Merope looked around feeling confused when she saw her son lying there, on the floor with a beautiful redhead. was that the baby's mother...
it was obvious to Merope who the father was. it was Tom. she could feel his magical signature on the child. but what happened. who had killed her son... she refocused to her crying grandchild. she focused all her power that she could muster into trying to soothe the crying baby. it must have worked because the baby stopped and looked for her. " ma ma? "
the baby was looking for her now. moving about in the crib " I'm sorry little one, but no. I'm grandma " Merope knew it was useless to say anything because of how weak she was. the baby wouldn't hear or see her. she looked around the room. it was clear the baby was loved by how the room looked. she knew time and care went into it.
Sirius made his way through the door. he saw James laying on the floor, bloody but breathing. he let out a sigh of relief when all of a sudden the need to grab Holly and leave hit him. he walked up the stairs till he looked into the room. lily and Voldemort's bodies lay dead on the floor. he was in shock till his body started to move.
hours had passed with her watching her grandchild who had fallen asleep a while ago. when a man with shaggy hair walked in. " pup?..." her grandchild was sleeping and let out a small whine. the man walked over and picked her up out of the crib. " oh Holly. It's ok Padfoot is here... " he left the room while Merope felt happy to know she now had a granddaughter. she quickly realized he took the girl and she followed after him.
" hay! what are you doing! are you stealing my granddaughter !? " she followed him out into the cold night with the wind blowing and waking up the baby. " shh pup paddy's here... " the man comforted the baby who looked at him and smiled . maybe he knew them? when they made it back to a manor he checked on her wound and cleaned it up while she fussed about it.
he got her a bottle and put her to bed in the nursery. " my sweet Granddaughter " she attempted to brush her fingers through the girl's wild mane of black hair. " I hope Thomas's father is still alive, he'd absolutely love you " she was in a feeling of pure bliss knowing her Thomas found a wonderful woman. but she felt awful that holly would have no mother or father to raise her.
but she'll be there to look after her as best as she can. Sirius was angry, his goddaughter was hurt and crying. holly was his only chance of having a real child of his own. he would go to bed and check on James in the morning. he was going to find peter and kill that rat.
