Another time- another place. 1954

Nanette was awoken in the middle of the night, "Darling, we must run, he found us. Others have seen the long-bearded wizard; someone has betrayed us. He will kill everyone here if we stay."

She cried, "But, I cannot leave, while you were gone…" she couldn't finish, the enemy had found them. There were only two of them, and there were many with their enemy. Their powers couldn't be matched, but there were too many to fight.

By the morning, Nannette was gone; seven months later, she had Tom's baby, the wizard she loved, but she loved her baby more and wanted her safe. She had made the right decision, the bearded man would never find them. There was a lot about them that nobody knew, it was safer that way.

She kissed the newborn baby, and tears rolled down her face, "Tom," she said.

"Darling, he won't change, never. This is best for the baby, for us, a chance." He told her that he loved them too much to lose them; everyone else had been killed by the bearded zealot. So Nannette obeyed with a broken heart.

Broken heart

Tom still felt as if his insides were melting, he needed to find his love. She had come to see him again, to tell him she couldn't be with him, at least not right then. She kissed him, a kiss that made him wish for more and left.

Now he was confident that Nannette was alive. He knew he had been with her, but she wouldn't answer. He called her until he was hoarse. Where, where could he find her? He promised never to kill again. His soul was no longer in pieces, he said that over and over.

He wasn't answering anyone until he heard Hermione. Serge dropped a scroll by Hermione, it said to come to the Hogsmead house.

Hermione didn't like the way Tom looked, like a madman. "If you know where your mother is, tell her I am whole."

"I will, but my uncle has something to tell you."

"I know where Albus is keeping Gellert, maybe we can get him out. It is wrong to keep him locked." Fenrir told Tom. "There is something else, Albus wants me to meet an acquaintance, I have a bad feeling."

"I have something for you," Tom pulled two flat stones out his pocket, hanging from leather straps. "Put them around your neck, they will stay invisible to everyone but you. Nobody will be able to read you, no matter how hard they try. Be careful; if you are in danger, just touch the stone. I will be there. About Gellert, how difficult will be to get him out?"

Someone was knocking at the door. "Not a Floo call, you two wait here." Tom went to the door.

He remembered the one standing at the door, someone who looked like Fenrir, a witch.

"May I come in?" She asked.

"Please."

Fenrir had heard the voice, "Amelia is that you, it cannot be."

"Fenrir, darling." They ran into each other's arms.

"Why now? Father thought you died; he is never human, always hurting. So many were lost."

"I was sick for a long time, I was nearly dead. The children didn't make it, only Wolfgang did. We have a dangerous enemy. A part demon, he will sense me; he marked everyone during the massacre. He uses Dumbledore. Albus was Gellert's lover, and the killings are about jealousy. You cannot meet him tomorrow, make an excuse."

Tom intervened, "He will be safe, touch Fenrir."

Amelia did, "You are only a wizard, how can that be?"

"I found this in an old burial, powerful charms, demon proof as well. Why are you here?"

"Fenrir knows where my husband is. We will get him out, don't take any chances." She touched Fenrir's face. "We will watch you, bye, love."

She vanished in front of their eyes. "Amelia, where are you? Who are we?" Fenrir called her over and over, Hermione came out.

"What is going on? Who was here?" Hermione asked.

"Amelia, your great-grandmother, she seems to be alive. I think your mother is too. I suspect they watch us." Tom smiled, he had renewed hope.

Fenrir also smiled, "She is alive. It was her, her scent. Let's talk about the meeting."

Albus

1920-1930

During his travels, Albus made an acquaintance. The man looked at him, and rejoiced; finally, he found the right tool. While drinking tea, he dropped a powerful potion in Albus' cup. There was only one suitable for the job, and Albus was it.

He read Albus and found a secret in his past, perfect. Grindenwald had just married the daughter of one he hated over most, Lear. The potion was called jealousy, it was incurable unless you knew what to look for. The jealousy made Albus' reasoning faulty; unfortunately, Albus embraced the new green eyes mistress. A mistress who would claim the life of many.

Throughout the years, the jealousy took hold of Albus, confusing him. He saw himself as a redeemer, egged by his acquaintance. Slowly, but inevitably he turned into the puppet of a master puppeteer.

Years later, Albus, his acquaintance, asked him to recommend his son, Kingsley, for an Auror job. What he didn't know was that Kingsley was the same person, one with an agenda. He wanted to be the MoM to control the magical world, and Albus was his pawn. Occasionally, Kingsley's father would visit, it was done to keep his cover. One of his minions would take Kingsley's appearance for a few days. He was the one who taught Albus to look at the future.

Albus wanted Kingsley to meet his new Professor, it was perfect timing, his 'father' was in town. Fenrir took precautions; he was worried about this meeting; he had two shadow wolves follow them.

The young wizards invited Hermione for a picnic the next day. Earlier, Lucius took them to Fortescue, his favorite rowdy bunch. "I need your help, I am afraid of losing her. "

"I think you should ask her to marry you," Sirius told him, "we will help you. But you will have to honor her promise. Imagine all the witches we will get after she comes with us to Yuletide. The new Professor wants us to keep an eye on her, so be careful with her."

"But I have asked her, and she says nothing. She behaves as if she doesn't trust me. She should, I love her, only her."

They didn't know that Albus had taken a particular interest in them. He had a spy eye following them.

It was a good thing that Albus' hands were full of the new Professor.

Meeting

Fenrir

The shadows followed Fenrir, to a tea house in Diagon Alley. An older African wizard waited for them.

Florence's husband could see right thru him. A half-demon who roamed the earth for a long time. Their enemy, it was perfect.

With time he grew stronger, and his powers increased, but now, he wanted more. Not for long, for now, the shadows formed a wall around Fenrir. The shadow wolves hid far enough.

The wizard introduced himself as Kingsley. For an unknown reason, he wanted to cut the meeting short, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

Before they sat down, the African made an excuse and told Albus they would meet during his next visit.

"But, I have important news." Albus insisted.

The wizard was sweating profusely, Albus saw a monster beneath the face, he blinked. Foul odor made the other guests cough. "Who are you?" Albus felt sick, had he friended a demon? Not him, he never made mistakes.

"I must leave," the wizard started running, but the shadow wolves set a net, the net was reinforced by the shadows, they couldn't intervene directly, but that much, they could.

The guests watched in horror, looking at a hideous creature resembling a troll, but nastier. Albus pulled his wand, but to his surprise, it didn't work. Not against this creature, he tried different spells, but nothing worked. The guests hid under the table or apparated outside.

Fenrir tried, but before long, the creature disappeared. The shadow wolves were taking it to a place where to trap it until Fenrir could come. Hopefully, it would not be able to escape.

Albus felt sick, maybe that wasn't his acquaintance. He hoped, "Could you accompany me to the MoM, I need to check on someone."

When Albus went to the MoM, nobody had seen Kingsley. Dread filled Albus, so many of his plans had been forged with Kingsley's father. No matter, he still needed to get rid of Tom. He was afraid that he had been led astray, but his pride wouldn't let him recognize that.

Fenrir was relieved. Moreover, he had theories. He went to see Tom, he needed his assistance.

Will you marry me?

Meanwhile, the young wizards invited Hermione for a walk. "We made a picnic for us. We pinched a few things, you will see."

They arrived at a clearing near the ruins. Hermione saw Lucius, and her heart skipped a beat. He looked wonderful. She was in love with him, the future was hazy, something had changed.

As soon as they arrived, the young wizards disappeared. Lucius went on one knee," Ermi, marry me."

Hermione saw his face lit with love and decided, "Let me think."

He held on to her waist and leaned his cheek onto her, she bent and kissed his head. It was a perfect moment.

In the shadows, she saw the horned man, she wasn't imagining, and saw others like him. She blinked after seeing a couple that looked like her parents, and a couple more, they all were repeating," Say yes."

Serge jumped on Lucius' head and made pleading sounds. She grinned.

"Serge insists I say yes. He seems not to be alone. Yes, I will be your wife."

He stood to pick her up and twirled her around, then, "Wait, I forgot, I was so nervous." He pulled out the Malfoy ring and placed it on her finger, they both saw it, a small gold dragon appeared, he flew around a couple of times. Serge flapped his wings, and small blooms fell on them.

Right away, Lucius said, "I want to kiss you, but not here, let's go to the house. "

"No, we shouldn't; let's wait. My father and Fenrir will know. Maybe my father is there, he comes often."

Lucius grinned, "I can wait, Fenrir will kill me. I will go home; I need to tell my father."

Tom was at Malfoy Manor, Lucius told them. "I want to marry tonight, we can have a big wedding later."

Tom agreed, "Good idea, I will tell Fenrir, the sooner, the better, and safer." Safer for Lucius, he didn't add.

Abraxas was beyond happy to see his son over the moon. "I will go with Cygnus to bring you two home. We will say it is a family emergency. Go on."
