[Mental communication between the twins]

{Thoughts}


The four got to work. They stood around a stone. It looked like a diamond in the shape of an oval. Runes were carved in. They placed their hands on the stone. As one they began chanting in latin. The stone glowed red, then blue, then yellow, then green, and finally bright white. It glowed for a few minutes before the room filled with light. It seemed to expand. If anyone was standing away from the castle and the property it stood on they would have seen a dome of light surround the castle before expanding and surrounding the land. An hour later the dome disappeared.

The four people surrounding the stone looked ready to collapse. Poppy and Albus went over to them. Bill and Tony were quick to check the wards.

"All the wards have been restored and they are stronger than ever." Tony said.

"Good." Albus said as Poppy handed out magical replenishers.

"Indeed. I want you four to eat before you leave. Get some rest." Poppy ordered.

"Yes madam Pomfrey." The four said together.

"Good." She turned and left.

"I'll have the house elves bring some food." Albus said.

"Thanks Albus." Amelia said.

"You're welcome." He turned and left.


(With Voldemort and Wormtail)

"Crucio!" A whispered voice casted.

The rat-like man screamed as the spell hit him. His master was angry at him. After the spirit fled from Hogwarts he managed to possess a weak minded wizard. He then hunted down Wormtail. He blamed the man for all that happened. If he hadn't attacked the Potter brat then his horcrux wouldn't have been found and destroyed. They would have learned that the wards were tampered with and then he wouldn't have been caught and forced to flee. It was all that rat's fault and Voldemort was making sure his pathetic follower paid for what he had done.

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" Wormtail cried.

"You think I should show you mercy after you got my horcrux destroyed?" He asked angrily.

"I didn't know Potter was a horcrux." He sobbed.

"You dare talk back?!" The man hissed.

"I-i'm s-s-sorry." He cried out as he was hit with the curse again.

"You better be!" He hit him a third time.

"Ah!" Wormtail yelled.

"Don't fail me again!" His red eyes promised pain.

"Y-yes ma-master." He whimpered.

"Leave my sight!" He ordered.

"Y-yes sir." He ran off as quick as he could.

"Pathetic." He scoffed before sitting down and coming up with a new plan.


(Potter Household)

"Daddy?" Harry entered the study.

"Yes Harry?" He looked at him.

"Mummy's in your room crying." He said.

"I see. Do you know what about?" He asked.

"No." He shook his head.

"Alright. Thank you for telling me." He said as he stood.

"You're welcome." He bit his lip. "Will she be okay?"

"I hope so." He said as he hugged his son.

"Okay." He muttered into his dad's stomach.

"Go find your brother and play while I check on your mum." James said as he released the child.

"Okay." He said.

Harry left the study to go find Godric. Meanwhile James went to his bedroom. His wife sitting on their bed sobbing. He went over and wrapped his arms around her. She paused before turning and sobbing into his chest. James ran his fingers through her red hair in hopes that it would help to calm her down.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"My children were in danger, again. They could have died, again." She answered.

"I know love, I know." He wasn't too happy about that either.

"We almost lost them." She cried.

"I know dear. The new wards are up and I am now the D.A.D.A teacher." He told her.

She removed her face from his chest and looked at him. "Really?"

"Yes." He confirmed.

"That does help. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked.

"Albus called me this morning and I was going to tell you all at dinner." He answered.

"That's great dear. Congratulations." She wiped her tears before kissing him.

"Thank you." He kissed her back. "Now the boys are playing. Why don't we work on another child?" He smirked.

"Alright." She smirked back.
