[Flashback]

(With Harry and the others)

Brandon had taken his son and nephew to go get something to eat. Godric ate slowly and that was only because Harry glared at him when he stopped. He understood why Godric was upset. Who wouldn't be after learning that his mum had been kidnapped and the kidnapper replaced her. Not only that but his mum had been kidnapped before. He liked that he had more family but he lived with an imposter for years.

"Will my mum be okay?" Godric asked.

"I don't know." Brandon said. "I'd like to believe so. It will take time though. She will need to heal, talk, and grieve."

"Grieve?" His nephew was confused and so was his son.

"She will be grieving the time she lost with all of us." He said. (Poor Lily. This will be alot.) He thought.

"Oh." That did make sense.

"You and your father will need to talk with someone as well." He said.

"Why?" The redhead asked.

"Because all this time you both were living with a woman you thought was Lily. Now that you know the truth you need to talk about how you feel. Bottling them out isn't healthing." He said.

"I guess." Godric said.

"Your grandfather has probably explained it to your father. I bet a healer has as well." Brandon said.

The eleven year old shrugged. He looked at him and his son. An idea formed in his head on how to cheer Godric up. Harry would most likely stay with his grandfather or go back to school.

"Would you like to go get your mum something?" He asked.

"An all new wardrobe." He wanted to burn the ones at home.

"Good idea. I'll let the adults know, okay?"

"Okay." Godric said.

"Harry?" He looked at his son.

"Hmm?" He looked back at him.

"Would you like to come with, stay with your grandfather, or go back to school?" He asked him.

"Can we stop by the bank first?" Harry asked.

"Sure. Why?" He asked.

"To get aunt Lily's necklace and to have Godric pick something out. After that I would like to go back to school." He explained.

"Deal." He said.

"Pick something out?" Godric asked.

"It's our family tradition. Your grandfather picked out a pocket watch. I picked out this ring." He showed him the black ring with the Reese crest on it surrounded by sapphires. "Your mum picked out a necklace." His father had put it back into the vault after she was declared dead. "And Harry picked out a locket."

"But I'm a Potter." He protested.

"Doesn't matter. Family is family." Brandon said.

"Really?" He asked.

"No one is saying this for giggles." Harry said as he rolled his eyes.

"I'm your cousin. Doesn't that exempt me from your sarcasm?" He asked.

"No." He responded bluntly.

"Ah man." He groaned.

Brandon laughed at them as Harry stuck out his tongue. "Alright you two. Let's go."

"Okay." The two said as they stood up.

They threw away their garbage. Afterwards the three left and went back to the others.

(Ministry of Magic: Holding Cell 10)

The fake Lily was still in a waiting cell. They were waiting for her to change back. They couldn't use veritaserum without her permission or a relatives permission. They couldn't get permission from James because she wasn't his wife. Her blood was still saying she was Lily Potter. Since they had no idea when she last did the ritual they had been waiting a long time.

At the moment, Kingsley and his trainee Nymphadora Tonks were on guard duty. Both were bored but didn't complain. They knew this was important. Not only was this woman, well they weren't sure it was a woman. The person was a death eater and a criminal. They wanted all the facts. Tonks noticed that the hair was no longer auburn shade but orange-red.

"Sir look." She said.

"They watched as her skin lightened and freckles appear. She grew a few inches. Emerald green eyes turned light brown. Her features morphed back.

"She looks like a Prewitt.' Kingsley said in shock. "Get Moody and a healer."

"Yes sir." Tonks ran off.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm not telling you anything." She snarled.

"Soon you won't have to." He said.

Moody was the first to arrive. The healer arrived next. The woman had been stunned so that they could run tests. Since she was a terrorist they could run a blood test without her permission. The healer handed the results to Moody.

Name: Lilith Margaret LeStrange

Age: 27

Bearer: Gideon Prewitt (Deceased)

Sire: Rabastan LeStrange (Imprisoned)

Sibling(s): Madeline Crystal LeStrange (Deceased), Samual Rabastan LeStrange (Deceased)

Status: Pureblood

"Dear Merlin." Tonks gasped after she read the results.

"Get Molly Weasley in here. Since her father imprisoned and she has no other family Molly is legally able to give permission for us to use veritaserum on her." Moody said.

"Yes sir." She ran from the room.
